CEDRIC DIGGORY
Expanding on Cedric’s offer to Linus, there will always be space in his house for anyone from the Order of the Phoenix. In the beginning this is just a cot, but later in life it will expand to an always prepared guest room. He visits Harry's grave every year on June 11th. He never takes on a house elf or any other servant.

Cedric marries a French witch three years after the end of the war. Henri is born a year later. Basil, called Baz, two and a half years after Henri.

He spends roughly thirty years working with Gred and Forge, both on general R&D for them and specifically on a line of fantastic prosthetics mixing magic and technology. He works with amputees and others to get Quidditch included in the Paralympics. He never regains the use of his arm, but with their prosthetics and a modified broom he manages to fly again, but never well enough to play Quidditch at a level above a pickup game.

He advocates for equal protections under law for everyone, and he really means everyone, explicitly including the children of Death Eaters and other criminals from the Protectorate era. “This is the foundation on which we build” Continuing Harry and Dolohov's legacy, he also advocates for broad support of less advantaged students at Hogwarts in the form of tutoring, core academics and foreign & ancient languages.

In the background, he begins collecting esoteric magic texts. Initially this is directly related to his work for Fred and George and on the prothstetics, but it grows on him. As his children leave the nest he begins travelling, for longer and longer periods of times, searching for more and more obscure texts. His time away and growing obsession with the texts he searches for slowly dissolves his marriage. There is never anyone after her.

During his waning years he anonymously publishes an ethical tract that questions the received wisdom of Light and Dark magic and wanders into similar quandaries in relation to technology. It makes none of the ideologues happy, walking a middle path that boils down to Question Authority and Build Things Slowly and Carefully.

Later in life he alters his property wards to only allow people in who can present an Order locked journal and smear a bit of blood on the outer ward stone. They are allowed in whether he is home or not. If they do visit and explore, a portion of the library is heavily warded. Other than being far more blatant about being warded, the wards themselves are eerily similar to the wards on Dolohov’s more dangerous books, but layered over decades.

He never returns from one of his travels abroad.
