Bella's POV

———————
Next morning
———————

I'm feeling better today. After dinner yesterday, I had a chat with the girl and they comforted me. Hermione then asked me about Draco. I told her how I feel and she understood, telling me I can't help who I feel for. After, we went to get food to cheer me up.

"Good morning" I say, walking downstairs.
"Someone's in a good mood" Ginny speaks.
"Why not? it's a lovely day and it's the last task" I smile.
"Let's go eat, I'm hungry" Ron groans.
We all walk to the great hall and the boys walk away.
"They're still mad at me?" I ask.
"I tried to talk to them" Hermione sits down and we all sit down next to her. 

The champions were standing at the front of the maze and we were all sat down. I was sat next to Ginny and Draco. Hermione was next to Ginny and then Ron. Blaise was next to Draco and then his two 'bodyguards'. They all went into the maze and we all started to talk. I decided to talk to Draco since the girls were talking to Ron and I'm not his favourite person right now.
"They do realise we can't actually see them...right?" I ask and he laughs.
I lay my head on his Draco's shoulder and we start to talk and laugh about random things.

Fluer comes back out of the maze, followed by Krum, so that leaves Harry and Cedric in the maze.
"Who do you think will win?" I ask Draco, tilting my head on his shoulder to look at him.
"Cedric, so I can see the look on Pottahs face when he loses" he smirks.

We were cut of by a deadly scream as the band was playing. We looked to see both of them back.
"HES BACK, HES BACK. VOLDERMORTS BACK. CEDRIC, HE ASKED ME TO BRING HIS BODY BACk. I COULDN'T LEAVE HIM, I couldn't leave him" Harry cries as Dumbledore tries to pull him off.
The music died down and people are gathering around them.
"Keep everyone in there sets, a boy has just been killed" I hear someone say.
I look closely to see Cedrics lifeless body and Harry clutching onto it. I grab Draco's hand and interlock our fingers but I don't cry. I can't cry. My eyes feel dry. When I see his dad go up and find him dead, I squeeze Draco's more. Harry gets dragged off by mad-eye-moody and we all go back into the castle with me still holding Draco's hand.

"Today, we acknowledge...a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know...exceptionally hard-working...infinitely fair-minded...and most importantly...a fierce, fierce friend. Now, I think, therefore, you have the right to know how he died. You see...Cedric Diggory was murdered...by lord Voldermort! The Ministry Of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so, I think, would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain....we all feel of this dreadful loss reminds  me, and reminds us...that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues...our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events...the bonds of friendship will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that...and we'll celebrate a boy who was...kind and honest and brave and true, right to the very end."

We all split ways to our common rooms and we stayed up talking about Cedric and then we all went to bed.
