Chapter 50 - Parents

"MOM!? DAD!?" Mei screamed as she had arrived at her house with Cedric.

"Mei?" She heard her dad's trembling voice, and ran to where she was hearing it.

There she saw her parents who seemed to be shaken up, "We heard about the ministry and what happened at the wedding." Mei had ran into her parent's arms, "We didn't know if you were safe or not."

Her eyes were welling up and she hugged her parents tighter, "I wouldn't have gotten out there alive if it wasn't for Cedric." 

Cedric had joined the hug and after a few seconds of silence, something came whizzing through the window. It scared everyone so much, that Mei's mom feel to the floor. However, it turned out to be a patronus. They were relieved but wonder where it came from. However, suddenly a voice rang through their ears.

"Mr. and Mrs. Kur- I mean mom and dad, go hide. Hide with the Diggory's, pack a trunk and go, before they come here. I'm secretly trying to top them, so hurry and go." The patronus disappeared and the two ran off into their room and pack.

"Mei go! go back with Cedric, we'll meet you there." Her mom told her.

 "No! I'll help you!" Mei retorted.

Her mom hugged her once more, "Go Mei, we'll be fine." Mei was shaking her head, tears filling in her eyes again, "Cedric." Her mom looked at him and he grabbed her hand and disapparated.

They dropped back at the Diggory home, "Will they be okay?" Mei asked.

"Just sleep, it's been a long night, I'll wake you up when they come." Mei nodded and headed to Cedric's room.

When his door closed, he jumped on the couch, ready to sleep himself, but was interrupted by a door opening, "Cedric we need to talk." He yawned, just ignoring his dad.

"Cedric, this important. It's about what you said." His eyes widen forgetting he told his dad (at the wrong moment) about his engagement, "Don't you think, you're going too fast?"

Cedric shot up from the couch and was face to face with his parents, "You know I love Mei-"

"But she is only graduating this year! Plus, you're starting your career at the ministry."

"You know what happened, You-Know-Who is in power, so what's the use of my career? I should have asked before, like Bill and Fleur." Cedric replied.

His mom sighed, "And then Death Eaters showed up at their wedding reception! Beside, do you really think Mei is the one?"

Cedric nodded, "I want to let her know that I love her forever, and with you-know-who in power, I think it's the best time." He sighed, trying to push the idea of not being together again out of his mind "Before it's too late."

Both of his parent's smiled, "Well then congratulations on the engagement."

"ENGAGEMENT!?" Behind his parents he saw Mei's with their trunks, "You two have gotten engaged!? That's amazing, I'm getting a son!" Mei's mom ran over to Cedric hugging him, and her dad shaking his hand.

"Mei! Your parents are here!" Cedric yelled, and in a few seconds Mei came running in and immediately their moms took her hand to examine the ring.

Mei's mom was tearing up, "That is beautiful Cedric."

"Good pick, the ring is so her." His mom declared, "I can finally plan a wedding! This will be amazing!" The two moms began wedding planning.

"Wait." Cedric's father said, "Why are you two here?"
"Someone told us to come here, they were coming for us." Mei's dad respond.

Both of Cedric's parents were shocked, "That means all of you are in trouble, we can't let you get caught." Cedric's dad had declared.

"I know, so we're planning to not let Mei go back to Hogwarts."

"WHAT!?"
