To: idea_of_sarcasm From: Your Secret Santa Title: Missing Pieces Author: GFeather Pairing: Angelina/Cedric Summary: Waking up alone and disoriented in the Forbidden Forest, Cedric's memory is hazy, but he knows something is very wrong. Forced to confront a dark past he can't quite remember, help is offered from others missing pieces just like him. Rating: R Warnings: mentions of canon character deaths, extreme plot Word Count 21 200 Author's notes: The prologue of this story is essentially a retelling of chapters 32-34 of GOF to set up my universe. I’m calling this fic ‘demi-AU’ because with a certain logic placed upon it, there is only one major liberty taken with canon here, that is, Wormtail’s incompetence. When you think about it, Wormtail is unlikely to have used Voldemort’s wand to kill Cedric Diggory, Frank Bryce or Bertha Jorkins. If he did not have his own wand, he would have acquired one in his travels to Albania, but I just can’t see Voldemort allowing anyone, let alone Wormtail use his wand. As to how Voldemort has his original wand when he didn’t have a body, well... I’ll just leave that the way canon is and ignore how it manages to be in his possession, ‘cause I still can’t come up with a decent explanation for it. This fic assumes everything from GoF OotP, HBP and DH minus the epilogue has happened. A thousand thanks to my betas B and B. I probably would have given up without you. All remaining mistakes are mine, mostly due to a stubborness about what should and shouldn't be capitalized. To my recipient, I'm sorry I didn't actually use a pairing you suggested, but I hope this is alright with you anyway. I blame the bunny... it's my only excuse. feedback: Please leave feedback here.
