Blood of the Enemy: prologue

Title: Blood of the Enemy
Rating: R, eventually. This bit is not that, maybe AA, but it does get pretty violent in parts.
Disclaimer: Harry and Cedric belong to J.K. Rowling and probably a lot of other people, not me.
Prompt: "A fic where Cedric and Harry are both in the Auror Academy", for rosenskimmer... except that this is just the prologue, not

o.o Oh my! I really like the begining of this! I like that you made Nagini attack Cedric as opposed to the quick "Kill the Spare!" I'm really interested to see how all of this plays out! :D Great job!

Thank you! :) I think I mostly just needed a reason for them not to kill him right away, and the snake bite kind of gave an excuse for them not to.

That's realllly good!
Only you can't apparate without a wand...
But other than that it's really amazing. I hope you continue it.

Thanks! Yeah, wands... eep. I found a source that said "only limited magic" could be performed without it, and I'm afraid I took a fair bit of liberty with that. I hope you'll forgive me the cheat, as long as I keep it consistent throughout the story. (I wasn't sure "accio" would work, when Harry said it without a wand, either... but I needed it to.)

cedric=broccoli?

agh! this is awesome! very well written and just the right amount of angst! but i have a question. when harry portkeyed away with cedric's body, you said that cedric "never quite managed to catch up." but then it's followed by "He was lost, and it was dark where he found himself, and quiet, and Cedric was content to drift."

so, does that mean cedric is just comatose? or is he currently a vegetable?

i guess i mean, when you said he didn't catch up, did you mean it literally?

but this is great, you can bet i'm gonna be keeping up with this story.

Thank you! :) I guess what I was trying to say was... Cedric brain/spirit/whatever is not currently on close terms with Cedric body. It should make more sense later. I hope. ;)

Way keen. I've always liked Nagini and it's neat to see her take a more active part in the story. Plus Cedric living, yaay!

[b00kaddict]

Ooh, I really don't like Nagini... not a big fan of snakes. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though!

Great start! I'm always amazed at the number of ways there are to keep Cedric alive. Just when I think I've pretty much read them all, someone comes up with something new. And even though you play a lot with the graveyard scene, I like that it all stems from Harry slipping. I look forward to the rest. :)
