31| The final task

Seeing as the Golden Trio had been forced to forget Diana's theorizing from previous nights, they spent their time doing their own things. Hermione was studying and reading as per usual, Harry was stressing out but also relieved that the final task was arriving soon, and Ron would hang out with the two of them and would watch Friends or Full House with Diana. 

"You've watched Friends with both Hermione and Ron now. When's it going to be my turn?" Harry asked Diana as they walked to the Great Hall. "If you survive the final task then maybe we can watch it" Diana told him. "Are you worried about me?" Harry asked without a hint of sarcasm or joking in his tone. 

"If I'm being honest then yes. Yes, I am worried. This is the last task of this tournament. It's bound to be the most intense and I'm scarred something will happen to you" Diana told him honestly. 

"Nothing's going to happen to me" Harry told her although he was mainly trying to convince himself of that. "I hope not" Diana mumbled. "You're my good luck charm. As long as you're there I'll be fine" Harry said. "Well then, I wouldn't miss it" she smiled. "You wouldn't miss it even if I wasn't in the tournament. You'd still want all the champions to come back alive. You're a Hufflepuff in that way" he told her.

"It's not the first time I've been compared to a Hufflepuff" Diana said with a slight laugh, not a mocking laugh but a general laugh. Diana never thought one house was better than the other. She thought of them all as equal, even if certain professors preferred on house over another.

They walked toward the Gryffindor table where Ron and Hermione were seated. "Gryffinpuff" Diana said, remembering what Collin had called her. "Is that a mix of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?" Harry asked. "No, it's a mix of Slytherin and Ravenclaw" Diana said sarcastically, causing Harry to roll his eyes in a joking manner. 

"A mix of Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Sounds like a nightmare. They'd be snarky and overly judgmental" Ron said. "Look who's talking" Hermione mumbled, not looking up from the newspaper. 

Diana and Harry exchanged a look and slight laugh. Diana sat down next to Hermione and Harry next to Ron. "The last task is today, are you nervous?" Hermione asked Harry. "Very. But I have a good luck charm, I have a feeling I'll be fine" Harry said and glanced at Diana. Hermione didn't spot that but Ron surely did.

The last task was beginning shortly. Hermione had been waiting for Diana to come down from her dorm so they could go watch. Ron had gone earlier with his brothers and Ginny. "Diana! We are going to miss half of it if you don't get down here" Hermione shouted from the staircase. What Hermione didn't know was that Diana was having one of her visions, meaning she had no control over herself for the time being until the vision ended.

"She's not comfortable, she's dying! You have to let me see her" Diana cried as Caroline held her back. This had brought Caroline to remember Liz Forbes's death and how Caroline had said the exact same thing. "You can't, Diana. I'm sorry" Caroline told the crying girl. "You'd want to see your mother right before she died, would you not?" Diana asked Caroline. 

"It's not up to me. The doctor and nurses have her in the room where no minors are allowed.I tried giving her my blood it wouldn't take so now we are here" Caroline said. "Compel the god damn doctors. Let me see my mother" Diana said as she tried getting free of Caroline's grasp. 

When Caroline wouldn't let Diana go, she resorted to magic. "Phesmatos Incendia" Diana said and watched as Caroline's sleeve burst into flames. Caroline let go of the girl and vamp sped to a bathroom to put the fire out. Diana ran towards her mom's room but as she tried entering it she got blasted back.

"Barrier spell. You can't get in" Bonnie told her daughter. "You can't be serious" Diana muttered. "You're the last of the Bennett bloodline. No doubt that you'll be the strongest. You'll have expression, dark magic, the power of a 100 Bennett witches, and physic ablities. Even vamperism thanks to you being Enzo's daughter" Bonnie said. 

"I don't need any of that. I need my mother. I already lost dad before I was even born. How do you expect me to live without my mom?" Diana asked.

"Diana?" Hermione asked shaking the girl who now had tears forming in her eyes. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Hermione asked. "I'm okay. I just remembered I need to write to my mom and aunt Caroline later" Diana said and blinked away the tears.

Hermione didn't buy it. She knew Diana well enough to know something was wrong. 'If she won't talk to me, maybe she'll talk to Harry' Hermione thought.

"Professor Moody has set the cup deep inside the maze. Only he knows it's exact location" Dumbledore told the crowd as the task was starting soon. Heating those words brought Diana back to her theory. 'If the supposed Mad-Eye Moody knows where the cup is then he'd have to have made sure that Harry would find it first. Something's going to go wrong. I can feel it' Diana thought to herself as she bit her lip and watched Cedric and Harry enter the maze.

As Diana thought something did go wrong. Cedric Diggory was dead. Harry was crying over Cedric's dead body the second he got out of the maze. Fleur was the first to notice and she let out a scream. The music stopped playing and everyone stopped cheering. It was a horrible scene to witness. 

Diana managed to run down the stands and make her way to where Harry was. "He's back. Voldemort is back. Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I- I couldn't leave him. Not there" Harry managed to say while shaking. 

"It's all right, Harry. It's alright" Dumbledore told him. He noticed Diana standing behind Harry and signaled for her to do something. "Harry" Diana said slowly as she helped him up off the ground. "he's dead. He's dead and it's my fault" Harry told her and immediately hugged her.

"It's not your fault. You had no idea anything like this could occur" Diana told him. As far as she knew, Harry never knew her theory about Barty Crouch Jr. She decided to not tell him. Especially not while he was breaking down after seeing his friend and fellow classmate dead. 

"That's my son! That's my boy!" Amos Diggory shouted with tears in his eyes as he saw his son dead on the ground. 

Harry was pulled out of Diana's hug in that same moment. Diana noticed it was Moody who was dragging Harry back towards the castle. 'Like hell' Diana thought as she went over to her favorite professor, the only one she trusted; Minerva McGonagall.

Diana explained everything as quickly as she could while making sure McGonagall understood. Diana watched as McGonagall got Snape and Dumbledore and headed towards the castle hastily. She had watched a vision of her mother's death being confirmed and then saw her best friend break down over a death of a friend. 'She's not actually dead. I'll see her again. I have to make sure Harry's okay' Diana thought.

"Where did the Professor's go?" Ron asked Diana as he finally made his way down the stands with Hermione. "Remember the theory I told you two about the other day?" Diana asked, the pair shook their head. 'Memory wipe spell. That bitch' Diana thought.

"I'll explain later. I'm gonna make sure Harry's okay" Diana said as she ran toward Hogwarts. She didn't stop running until she found herself at the entrance of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

She was very out of breathe from running but still managed to make her way to the DADA teacher's office. Diana saw the three professors and Harry standing over the chest that was in the room. "It's Moody? But then who's that?" Harry asked as he looked over at the supposed Mad-Eye Moody.

Snape grabbed the container that Moody was always drinking from and smelt it. "Polyjuice potion" Snape confirmed. Dumbledore looked at Diana, who had an "I told you so" look on her face. 

Moody then turned back into Barty Crouch Jr. All Diana managed to hear was "You know what this means? Voldemort is back". 

~End of fourth year~

A/N- I hate this chapter so much. I skipped through so much AND made it make no sense. I am so sorry. I was so rushed to finish because I really want to write a summer chapter so you guys know what's going on with Bonnie and Diana's visions. I'm also excited to write year five (where things finally get interesting).
