If he were honest, after everything – dragons, egg, hostages, merfolk, no Quidditch, mazes and blast-ended skrewts – he was quite ready for everything to be done and the TriWizard Tournament to finally be over. And of course he’s wrong, because of course the portkey tied to the Goblet of Fire misfires and send them somewhere that was decidedly not Hogwarts.
Well, Cedric thinks, at least no one’s dead – yet.
.
AKA: the Cedric Lives! AU wherein the portkey has a magical misfire that sends them to somewhere NOT the graveyard -possibly a different world/universe entirely?- and Cedric is Done™.
Okay but, I can imagine that at first Cedric is still a bit freaked out and worrying on how they’re going to get home. But then there’s Harry bloody Potter who has faced Voldemort, a basilisk, an innocent convict and has had to deal with the shit that is fourth year. He is done, nothing can surprise him anymore, he just can’t find it in himself to give a single f*ck.
But depending on where they end up, they’ll either be subjected to a saving-the-world plot or just general craziness. Questions is on what world do they end up, because you know that Harry is going to drag them both into a mess.
Honestly, at the moment I am not in for MCU simply because I am currently in that fandom. Just them being “what no we’re not superheroes we just have magic and morals”
Or maybe a video game world like the Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda franchises.
Or maybe they wind up in an AU, like Harry Potter world but a No Powers AU combined with a Apocalypse AU.
Or maybe in worlds like HTTYD.
Or, or the portkey was unstable (or some other handwavey magic issue) and it propells them into different worlds continually. They’ll pop up and help out or stop characters from making idiotic decisions, staying for a limited amount of time before being whisked off again.
Maybe the reason they keep world hopping is because their magic is trying to bring them back to their original world. But it keeps misfiring or mistaking different worlds for theirs. Their magic does have to replenish, so in worlds with some type of energy/power they get replenished faster.
Alright, now imagine that, by the time they get back to their world – which they don’t immediately realize is their since they land in the graveyard, they are dangerously genre-savvy and have gotten this Saving The World business down to an art form neither of which the Wizarding World – or Voldemort – are prepared for given that they return the exact moment they left.
honestly a world where magic users are actively hunted would be sure interesting–i would also really really love the play of cedric trying to protect harry because he’s older and harry rushing off into danger because he was abused as a child and has a skewed sense of self worth and what’s appropriate for children to take on
but i’ve also just been playing A LOT of witcher 3
(tho dragon age would also be interesting~)
