The Dragon

Part 22

a/n: the picture I normally use for the top part of these somehow got deleted so sorry if you liked it. I also deleted it off of the app u use to make the covers cause I didn't realize it would get deleted but oh well.

You and Cedric were now laying in, what looked to be, a graveyard. Cedric was groaning and you told him to keep quiet because it looked like there was a house a few yards away from them. The cup somehow got halfway across the graveyard so if someone came you would either have to sprint or fight. "Cedric, get up and get your wand out." You said in a commanding voice. He did as you had told him to do and was now standing next to you holding out his wand. "Where are we?" He whispered in your ear. "A graveyard probably halfway across the world from Hogwarts." You whispered back. All of a sudden a man emerged from the house with sknthing in his hands that looked to be a baby. You tried to get a better look at it but your wrist seared in pain, you tried to ignore it and not get distracted. "Kill the spare!" The baby like thing said in an odd almost dementor like voice. Then you realized what he had said. He was going to kill Cedric. "Arvada Kedavra!" Who you now knew was Wormtail said and pointed his wand at Cedric. "NO!" You jumped in-front of Cedric at the last second. But when the curse hit you, you were only pushed back into Cedric. Then you remembered what the salesperson that sold you one of your many rings had said, 'this is a very powerful ring that I cannot describe.' You never knew what he meant until now. It could absorb curses, the blue stone on your ring had enough power to block the killing curse. Wormtail gasped and Cedric grabbed you from under your arms as you fell backwards.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Yelled the baby like creature. You tried to stand but you couldn't, so instead of you pushing Cedric back to back away, he had to pull you. Which wasn't very hard for him to do. Once he pulled you away far enough you tried to stand again, and you could but when you did a sharp pain came shooting up your leg. "You shouldn't be scared, all we want is your ring." The baby like thing said. Why would they want your ring? Sure it can block curses but who would use his own curse against him?

You hadn't noticed that Wormtail put down that odd baby thing and was now dragging you to a gravestone. Cedric was shouting something but you couldn't hear anything. Wormtail pushed you up against the headstone of the grave, and the statue that was on it moved its stone axe thing so you were just dangling from the headstone. Cedric tried to get you out but he was almost killed again so he stopped.

You opened your eyes again when you heard Wormtail screaming and rolling around on the ground. After a few minutes of that he came over to you with a dagger in hand. He took your ring, then cut you with the dagger. You flinched as he cut you. It was one of the deepest cuts you had ever had. He then put the blood he collected and your ring in a cauldron. Wormtail said a bunch of things you just tuned out. You closed your eyes afraid of what was about to happen. Once you stopped hearing all of the movement you opened your eyes, and that was something you wished you had never done. Standing in-front of you was Voldemort. Voldemort's alive and you couldn't do anything to reverse it.

Voldemort was just standing there patting down his dark green robes. "Wormtail. Wand!" He said. Wormtail then patted down his robes until he found the wand, and then held it out in his hands. "Here you are my lord." He sounded terrified and Voldemort could here it. "You seem, scared Wormtail. Why would that be?" Voldemort said as he took his wand. "What? Scared? N-never." Voldemort scowled at his response, he was obviously scared. "Your arm Wormtail." Wormtail gave him one of his arms. It looked like he had cut off his hand which is probably why he was rolling on the ground screaming. "Oh thank you my lord!" Wormtail said with gratefulness. "The other one, Wormtail." Wormtail gave him his other arm slowly and looked disappointed. "Why yes, of course my lord." He said quietly.

"What is happening?" Cedric whispered in an almost inaudible voice. You hadn't even noticed he was right next to you.

"I don't know, but I need that ring back. It's the only way we'll live." You whispered in the same voice as him.

Voldemort then touched his wand to Wormtails arm where there was a dark mark. Your wrist burst into even more pain than it already was and all you could do was squeeze your eyes shut. You were trying so hard to ignore the pain, but you couldn't. It was worse than breaking a bone, almost as bad as being tortured. "Y/n I could get your ring." Cedric said in his almost inaudible voice. He looked at you before he flicked his wand and your big appeared in his hand he put it on your finger and almost immediately the pain settled down. You opened your eyes and looked to your side where an almost crying Cedric was, then in front of you where deatheaters were appearing.

a/n: I think I'm only going to do one or two more parts because I really don't have anymore ideas for this story and I already started my next one.
