In Remembrance of those lost

Cedric Diggory

"In Remembrance of Cedric Diggory"

All Hufflepuffs, Cho Chang, Harry,Iris and their friends looked down sadly, though the rest of the hall didn't really seem particularly happy either,Especially Katie as Cedric was her cousin.

"the real Hogwarts champion"

"As we always thought," Harry and Iris mentioned.

The Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, and everyone who did not know Harry and Iris personally looked surprised. "Really?"

"Did Harry or Iris once brag about being champion?" asked Hermione. "No? There you have your answer."

"who died for being in the wrong place at the wrong time"

Those who did not know the full story wondered what precisely this meant.

"and who shall forever be the spirit of what Hufflepuff stood for"

"I agree," Harry seconded.

We see the Hogwarts champions in the center of the maze.

"Both of us," the youngest one of the two male champions proposed, while the older looked at him confused, "We'll take it at the same time. It's still a Hogwarts victory. We'll tie for it." the girl agreed

The Hufflepuff unfolded his arms. "You - you sure?"

The the younger girl and boy confirmed. "Yeah... we've helped each other out, haven't we? We both got here. Let's just take it together."

After looking like he did not quite believe his ears for a moment, the older boy's face split in a grin.

He and Iris then helped Harryl imp to the cup.

The two of them each grabbed the handle their had was previously hovering over on a count of three.

It was a portkey.

When they arrived at their destination, Harry and Iris fell on Thier knees, letting go of the Triwizard Cup.

"Where are we?" the Gryffindors asked, raising his head.

Cedric pulled Harry to his feet, shaking his head.

The Three looked around, realizing they had traveled miles, perhaps hundreds of miles, as there weren't any mountains in sight. They were on a graveyard.

"Did anyone tell you the cup was a Portkey?" Cedric asked, looking down at it.

"Nope"

"Is this supposed to be part of the task?"

"I dunno. Wands out, d'you reckon?" Cedric sounded slightly nervous ("CONSTANT VIGILANCE!").

"Yeah," Harry and Iris whereas the former sounded glad that Cedric had made the suggestion rather than him.

They pulled out their wands.

  Iris looked around, scanning the area, feeling watched.

"Someone's coming," she stated suddenly.

Someone short, wearing a hooded cloak pulled up over his head to obscure his face, obviously carrying something approached.

Harry lowered his wand slightly ("CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"), Cedric and Iris shot him a quizzical look.

The figure stopped only six feet from them.

Then, Iris and Harry's wands slipped from his fingers ("CONSTANT VIGILANCE!") and put their hands over their faces. Knees trembling they soon fell to the ground.

"Kill the spare," a high, cold voice ordered.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A few seconds later, Harry and Iris opened their eyes, looking terrified of what they would see.

Cedric was lying spread-eagled on the ground beside him. He was dead.

"They still won't stop," said Isabella, causing everyone to look at her.

"What? they blames themselves for everything. I swear, it won't be long before they blame themselves for the downfall of Western Rome."

"You're right," Ron agreed. "Add this to the fact he likes to try to keep everyone else out of danger and you have Harry's biggest features."

"And don't forget he would die for all-out us without a second thought," Hermonie added, "And sometimes he figures something out even before me."

Ginny smiled. "And if he wants to, he can be damn cunning."

The Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and even the Slytherins starred at him with newfound respect.

"...Did I ever tell you, that we could have gone to all houses? Mostly Gryffindor and Slytherin though."Iris said
