Big rewrite needed.
Cedric Diggory had died and then he'd woken up. Cold in clothes smelled of dirt lying in a heap on his grave. He stood up and staggered slightly having suprised how weak his legs felt, as if they hadn't been used in years. Cedric ignored that thought, he'd probably had two much firewhisky after graduation. Using the graves to lean he started to try walking and slowly felt the strength return to his legs.
Cedric tried to focus on the last thing he could remember, he remembered reaching for the tri-wizard cup with Harry. But that was it, had they won? He wasn't sure.
He scanned the cemetery it looked like London. Cedric guessed this must be one of the wizard graveyards that was across the world. He slowly walked towards the exit unsure what to do, the best idea he had was find Harry, he'd be able to fill in the blanks. He was grateful when he saw a large purple oversized double decker bus. A doddery old woman stepped off. Cedric Walked over, his body refusing to run and climbed on. Walking unsteadily towards the drivers cabin. Knocking on the glass it slid across and the driver looked at him.
"Looking in a bit worse for wear mate? Where can I take you" he asked his cockney accent strong.
"Um, Harry potters house?" It was a long shot.
"I don't do Suburban drop offs" he replied flatly.
"Please" Cedric begged. The driver sighed.
"Sure, make yourself comfy."

Ron weasley took another sip of his beer and belched loudly.
"Ro.." Hermione started to chastise her voice drowned out by the sound of a bus horn outside.
"It's the night bus" Ron commented obviously.
"I know what it is. Why is here" she said getting to her feet and pulling the curtain adrift slightly. She clapped a hand to her mouth in shock.
"But..thats.." She paused "Harry, visitor" she called to their roommate, who staggered out of his room slightly dazed, clearly having been napping. "Someone's at the the door for you." Hermione said adjusting her sweater so it would cover more of her fat belly, that had appeared post wedding.
Harry yawned and opened the door and his jaw dropped, his clothes looked disheveled and dirty and his hair looked messy, standing in front of him was Cedic Diggory. "Hi Harry" he said with a polite but awkward smile.
"Cedric!" Harry said suprised. Ron spat his beer and got to his feet joining Harry at the door.
"Blimey, he's looking good for a corpse" he quipped.
"Corpse what do you mean?" Cedric asked genuinely confused, then it all started to click. "Did..did I die"
"You better come in" Harry said, leading Cedric inside and over to the couch. "You remember Hermione and Ron of course" Cedric nodded as he sat down.
"What is the last thing you remember?" Harry asked putting a hand on Cedric's knee, Cedric rested his hand on top.
"I remember reaching for the tri-wizard cup with you."
"So you don't remember dying?" Ron asked confused.
"I'm not dead." Cedric said frustrated.
"I know your not," Harry reassured Him taking his warm hand tightly. "But you were dead, you were killed by voldemorts right hand man. I held your corpse" Harry said that memory stinging.
"But if I died..how am I alive?" Cedric asked quietly.
"I thought it was a dream..but I guess it wasn't" Harry admitted. "I had a being speak to me. Claiming to be an 'Agent of Destiny' he said he could offer to bring back one person who I cared about most of all. I chose you."
"Harry! Why didn't you say?" Hermione said.
"I thought I'd dreamt it."
"You chose me" Cedric asked feeling butterflies in his stomach.
"Yes, because...I loved..I love you" Harry said. Cedric smiled and kissed Harry, there lips touching for the first time in four years.
"That was nice" Cedric says blushing.
"Yeah, it was. But you taste like dirt, maybe you need to have a shower" Harry smiled and laughed.

Cedric had washed and showered and got dressed in a pair of Harry's clothes, which just fitted. He admittedly was taller than Harry so the pants were a bit too tight around his crotch, but he couldn't help that. He walked out of Harry's bedroom into the living room and the conversation Hermione, Ron and Harry had been having stopped.
"Sorry I interrupted" Cedric said apologetically.
"It's okay Cedric, we should apologize.." Hermione started before being cut off by Harry.
"Cedric, you should sit down." Harry winced, and Cedric immediately new bad news was coming. "Cedric, your parents." Harry winced and took a deep breath, Cedric felt his heart sink. "They died. They passed away, I'm sorry" Harry said sadly. Cedric felt numb, he felt like he'd missed so much. Cedric felt his emotions unleashing and tried to hold it together.
"It's okay" Harry said embracing him tightly.
"I feel like I've missed..so much" Cedric sniffed, trying not to break down into tears.
"I know. But you can stay as long as you need to" harry offered. Cedric smiled and kissed harry on the lips.
"Thankyou. It means a lot"
"Hermione we don't have any spare beds though?" Ron asked confused. Hermione shook her head.
"They'll be sleeping together." Hermione said.
"Oooh" Ron said realizing. Harry smirked and held Cedric tighter.

Cedric had been living with harry for three months and the only achievement other than getting access to his families wealth which had to be 'unabsorbed' by the ministry, was he'd put on 30lbs, which wasn't really an achievement. Not that he minded the extra weight or the beard that had grown because of his lack of interest in shaving. He had morphed into a slob and kind of enjoyed it.
Hermione, Ron and Harry all worked leaving Cedric at home. The only things to do was drink beer, eat and watch Television and such unsurprisingly he'd developed a pot belly that he honestly wasn't sure he felt about it. Yet.
"Urrrrp" he belched loudly before drinking more from his can of beer. He took another handful of chips and shoved them into his mouth, crumbs landing on his shirt. The door opened and Ron walked in,
"Hey" he said. Cedric nodded and smiled.
"Beer?" He said offering a can to Ron.
"Course" he agreed pulling his uniform shirt his fat round beer gut swelling outwards. The two chatted and drank, Ron complained about work and the stupidity of customers.
"So how's Harry?" Ron asked. Cedric looked at confused. "He's fine? What do you mean?"
"Oh he's just stressed from work" Cedric said. Harry had a tough case and it wasn't doing him any favors.
"Oh!" Ron realized remembering his own time in the auror department. At that moment Harry walked in through the door he looked a bit of a mess. His closed were crumpled and his hair was oily and he hadn't shaved in a few days.
"Hi Baby" Cedric said getting to his feet to cuddle Harry.
"I think I might just go have a nap" Harry said a tired smile as Cedric cuddled him.
"Alright" Cedric said kissing him. His fat beer gut pressing into Harry's back. Harry looked at him confused for a moment.
"Your gut is getting big" Harry muttered.
"So" Cedric replied a little miffed.
"Maybe you should start looking at going to the gym, your home so much?" Harry suggested. Cedric grabbed Harry and dragged him into the bedroom.
"Seriously, I'm not joining a gym. I'm not that fat" Cedric slapping his bloated stomach. He was only at 180 it wasn't that big a deal.
Harry eyed him, but dropped it.
"Okay, I was just worried." Harry admitted.
"Honestly I'm okay" Cedric said kissing Harry.
"Alright, I'm going to nap" Harry yawned. Cedric nodded and lay on the bed next to Harry's side.
"Then I'll spoon with you" Cedric said. Harry smiled and stripped off and cuddled jnto Cedric's arms, his bloated gut pushing into Harry's back. Harry rolled over and cuddled Cedric's stomach.
OoOo
Cedric was sitting in a circle in his underwear with his best friends Ron, Oliver
