Title: Needs No Accuser
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Rating: R
Pairing: Harry/Cedric, implied Harry/Voldemort
Content Notes: AU (Cedric lives), angst, unreliable narrator, violence, discussion of torture, implied past underage, dubious consent, discussion of disfigurement
Wordcount: 4200
Summary: Cedric survived the graveyard, but Harry disappeared, and for the last four years Cedric has been plagued with guilt, searching for Harry obsessively. When Voldemort attacks the Ministry, Cedric, now an Auror, sees the figure at his right hand, and launches a rescue mission.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of Summer” fics, one-shots being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. This story is for a prompt by hoars, asking for Cedric/Harry and Cedric is declared the only survivor from that night, or so everyone claims, until Voldemort takes over the Ministry with a very familiar wizard by his side. I’ve altered the prompt a bit so that it’s an attack rather than a takeover, and while this might someday be a longer story, this shows only a flash of the relationship between Cedric and Harry. The title comes from the proverb, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser.”
