Harriet Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Chapter 19

After he looked at himself he stood there and looked at her. She looked at him back. Then he looked at Wormtail.

"My wand Wormtail." Voldemort said.

He bent down and handed him his wand. "Hold out your arm."

"Master, thank you Master." He took out his arm.

"The other arm Wormtail!" Then he took his arm and put his wand on the mark.

Sure enough some of his Death Eaters appeared.

"Welcome my friends, thirteen years it's been. And yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself, disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me. Crabbe! McNair! Goyle! Not even you, Lucius."

"My lord I didn't detect any of your wear a-bouts!" Lucius said.

"There were signs my slippery friend!" Voldemort said back.

"I returned." Wormtail said.

Then Voldemort headed to him. "Out of fear not loyalty. Still, you have proven yourself useful these past few months Wormtail."

Then he waved his wand over Wormtail's arm. "Thank you Master, thank you!"

"May your loyalty never end."

"No master, never."

"Oh, ch,ch,ch such a handsome boy."

"Don't touch him!"

He looked up. "Oh, Harriet, I'd almost forgotten you were here! Standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days."

He looked at the others and then back at Harriet.

"The girl who lived. How lies after your legend Harriet. Shall I reveal what really happened that night thirteen years ago? How I truly lost my power? It was love. You see when dear sweet Lilly Potter gave her life for her only daughter she provided the ultimate protection. I could not touch her. But that was, old magic. Something I should have for seen."

Then he looked at her. "But no matter no matter, things have changed." He took out his hand. "I can, touch you, now." Then he put a finger on her scar.

"Ahhhhhhh!" she yelled.

Back at the school,

"No! Harriet!" Remus yelled while Snuffles growled.

Everyone watched what was going on. Neville was terrified about what will happen to her.

"Peter Pettigrew's alive!" the minister yelled.

Back at the graveyard,

He took his hand off of her scar.

"Astonishing what a drop of your blood will do ah Harriet?" Then he raised his wand.

"Crucio!"

"Ahhhh!" she yelled.

Back at school,

"NOOOO!" Neville yelled after he saw where it was going.

Back at the graveyard,

"Pick up your wand Potter! I said pick it up. Get up get up!"

She started to get up and look away for a second.

"You've been taught how to duel I presume yes? First we bow to each other." She just stood there while he bowed a little. "Come on now Harriet, Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners would he? I said, bow!"

"Err!" she said and felt herself bowing.

"Very good. And now, we duel! Crucio!"

She started screaming hard again. And then it stopped. She rolled over.

"A little beak?" He looked at her. "a little pause... That hurt, didn't it Harriet? You don't want me to do that again, do you?"

Harriet didn't answer. She was going to die like Cedric, those pitiless red eyes were telling her so... she was going to die, and there was nothing she could do about it... but she wasn't going to play along. She wasn't going to obey Voldemort... she wasn't going to beg...

"I asked you whether you want me to do that again," said Voldemort softly.

"Answer me! Imperio!"

Just answer no... say no... just answer no... I will not, said a stronger voice, in the back of her head, I won't answer... Just answer no... I won't do it, I won't say it... Just answer no...

"I WON'T!"

Back at school,

Everyone gasped. "She, she fought off the imperious curse." Remus said.

Snuffles sat there in shock while three of other fourth year houses smiled in both shock but happy. Remus noticed.

"When did she start to fight off the imperious curse?"

"First class of DADA this year." Neville said proud of her.

Back at the graveyard,

Voldemort stood in shock. Then he finally snapped back. "You won't say no? Harriet, obedience is a virtue I need to teach you before you die... Perhaps another little dose of pain?"

Then she rolled over and stood up. "I know very well what obedience is. Thanks to you I live with my aunt and uncle! They hate magic! They hate me!" Then she took out her wand. "Expelliarmus!" she yelled.

Then she was back on her back.

"Well that's quite interesting Potter. I can fix that though, I'm going to kill you Harriet Potter. After tonight if they speak of you they'll speak only of how you, begged for death. And I being a powerful lord implied it." He took out his hand. "Get up!"

Then she turned around and ran.

"Don't you turn your back on me Harriet Potter! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!"

She sat there and took a deep breath. Then she went determined.

"Have it your way. Expelliarmus!"

"Avada kadevera!" Voldemort yelled back.

Then their wands went together.

"Oh shoot! Mr. Olivander said it was the same phoenix in our core! And Dumbledore said it was Fawkes second year!" she said.

Suddenly there was a light and people started to appear. First was Cedric, then the old man from her dreams. Next was her parents.

"Harriet! When the connection is broken you must get back to the portkey. We can linger for a moment and give you some time but only a moment do you understand?" James said. She nodded.

"Harriet," She looked at Cedric. "Bring my body back will you? Bring my body back to my father." she nodded.

"Let go. Sweetheart you're ready. Let go! Let go!" Lilly said.

So she pulled her wand off and the others kept him busy. She ran back to Cedric.

"Accio!"

Then she was gone. Voldemort looked around. "Ah, ahhhhh!" he yelled in anger.
