           Voldemort came towards me and Cedric.He talked to me through our bond."You're doing a really good job.I'm proud of you my dear."I talked to him through our bond."I'm not faking it father.He wasn't supposed to die.He was my friend."He talked out loud.Such a handsome boy and beautiful face."Harry spoke up."Don't touch them!"He tilted his head form us to Harry."Harry.Oh.I'd almost forgotten you were here.Standing on the bones of my father.Yeah.I'd interduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days."He turned to his followers."The boy who lived."He turned back at Harry."How lies have fed your legend Harry.Shall I reveal what truly happened that night 13 years ago?Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers?Yes,shall I?"He walked around."It was love.You see,when sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son it provided the ultimate protection.I could not touch him.It was old magic.Something I should've foreseen.But no matter.No matter.Things have changed."

        He ran to Harry."I can touch you...now."He said it with a whisper and as he touched his scar my vision started bluring and I heard yellings.But it all went black.

        "Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do Harry?"He let me go."Pick up your wand Potter!"I fell on the ground."I said pick it up.Get up!Get up!"I reached to my wand."You've been thaught how to duel,I presume,yes?First,we bow to each other."He bowed slowly."Come on now Harry.The niceties must be observed.Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget you manners,would he?I said,bow!"He made me bow by force."That's better.And,now...No!Crutio!"The pain was unbareable!I fell on the ground and started shaking in my place.Twiching and flinching."Crutio!"It stopped but the pain was still there."Attaboy,Harry.Your parents would be proud.Especially your filthy muggle mother."I tried disarming him but it didn't work."I'm going to kill you Harry Potter."As I rolled on the grass ground I saw Cedric's dead body and Ula's passed out body on his."They didn't do anything to you!Cedric and Ula were innocent!"

       "Innocent?Like you?I doubt it.I'm going to destroy you."He kneeled next to me."After tonight,no one will ever question my powers.After tonight,if they speak of you,they will only speak of how you...begged for death.And I,being a merciful Lord,obliged."He forced me to get up.I ran away."I want you to look at me when I kill you!I want to see the light leave your eyes!"I got my courage togather.If not for me I have to avange Ula and Cedric.I got up from the tomb I was hiding behind."Have it your way."And we both pointed our wands to each other."Avada Kedavra!""Expelliarmus!"We battled with each other.It was a struggle because I was much younger than him.Making me weaker than he was.He was about to get to me but I believed in myself.I was getting to him now."Do nothing!He is mine to finish!"We were battling and this spirit bubble surrounded us.Spirits of Cedric,my father and my mother came to me.

        "Harry.Whent he connection is broken you must get to the Portkey.We can linger for a moment to give you some time but only a moment.Do you understand?"I nodded.I heard Cedric."Harry,take my body back,will you?Take my body back to my father."I nodded."Let go.Sweetheart,you're ready.Let go!Let go!"I let go and ran to Ula.She was holding Cedric.I got my arm around her waist."Accio!"The cup touched my hand and we all ended up back at the start of the maze.

      I was shaken to my core when I heard the loud cheerings as I bled out.I saw Cedric's dead body and started crying.Harry had his arm around me and his hand on Cedric as he sobbed.I had no one to lean on and Harry was there."Cedric."I whispered.I heard a girl scream.Dumbledore tried getting Harry away from Cedric.Everybody rushed to us both."No!No!No don't!"Harry yelled as he tugged onto me tighter.Hurting me without wanting to hurt me."Ah!"I ground in pain."He's back!He's back!Voldemort's back!Cedric,he asked me to bring his body back.They tortured Ula!I couldn't leave them!Not there!"Dumbledore got Harry."It's alright Harry.It's alright.They're home.All three of you are."The new minister went to Snape."Keep everybody in their seats.A boy has been just killed.And the girl doesn't look like she has more time."

       Snape got to me."Cedric."I whispered."You're gonna be alright."I screamed."Cedric!"Draco must've heard me he was trying to get past the professors as Snape picked me up.I was crying with all the strength I have left."You're going to be alright Ula.""Don't call me Ula.I need to get back to Cedric."Then I blacked out.When I woke up I was numb.I tried opening my eyes."Cedric."I whispered.Remembering his dead body within my hands."Ula?!"I heard a girl's voice.My vision was coming back."Where is Cedric?Is he in here?"They all looked at each other.Cho,Harry,Draco,Pansy,Blaise,Crabbe,Goyle,Daphne,Ron,Hermione,Ginny,Neville,Luna and Stefan.They were all around me.Madam Pomfrey walked through the crowd they have made."Oh dear.Finally.All of you outside.You may continue your waiting there."They all left.But Draco hesitated the most.

      "Oh dear.It has been weeks.Finally you are alright."I started crying."Is Cedric alright?"She sat down on the bed and held my hand."No.No!NO!"I got my hand."Mr.Diggory was killed by you-know-who in the maze.It's been two weeks dear.Almost three."I shook my head."No!He's not dead!He's there!"I saw a Hufflepuff uniform and I wanted to believe it was him but it wasn't."That's not him.""He can't be dead!"Madam Pomfrey helped me get up on the bed and hugged me."I'm so sorry Ms.Lopez.But he's gone.""NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!No..."She checked up my wounds and everything and let me go.I got up on my feet.It was hard because I felt numb but I managed.There were new pyjamas on me.My black tight leggings and my long sleeved green shirt."Who changed me?""She said she was a friend of your mother."I sighed."His funeral?When is it?"She looked down before she told me."It was a week ago.I'm afraid you missed it my dear."

      I stopped crying because I felt numb.When I got out of the hospital wing there was no emotion.No feeling.No sign of pain in my eyes.My face was tense yet relaxed.I killed people yet I never felt this numb.Not since my grandparents' death when I was eight.It was six years ago.Madam Pomfrey handed my bag to Daphne and Pansy got her arm around me but I couldn't move.I just stared at the clock in front of me.Draco got my bag from the girls and everybody left as he sent them away."Darling?""It's my fault."That was the only thing I said."No it wasn't.Voldemort killed him."I sighed and got my bag from him.I left him there.I went to my room and girls were all waiting there.Even the ones from other houses."How are you?"I said nothing.I talked to my father from our bond."He was my friend.Why did you killed him father?He had done nothing wrong.It's Barty's fault that he couldn't bewitch a seventh year student way below his power.It's his wrong doing and now he paid the price."It wasn't fair.
