[HPforGrownups] Remember Cedric

[Robert Gonzalez]

No: HPFGUIDX 45307

I think what Dubledore is saying is that when the time comes that one needs to make a choice between doing the easy thing, (go along with the crowd, stick your head in the sand, whatever) or the right thing (stand up to Voldemort) that one needs to remember Cedric Diggory. A boy who was "good and kind and brave", a boy who did nothing wrong but "stray across the path of Lord Voldemort". 
In other words that by supporting, ignoring or hiding from Voldemort one is supporting somone who killed (since he is addressing Hogwarts students) an innocent boy who you all knew.

  Okay, I need help.  Can someone clear this up for me?  This comes from Dumbledore's end of year speech to the students in GoF:

  "Remember Cedric.  Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.  Remember Cedric Diggory."
