Cedric fell onto the ground and wailed in pain, but all that he could do was stand there in dread. It turned out that the masked man have regained his consciousness, and was now cursing his boyfriend with a cruciatus curse. The only reason that Rey somehow knew about it was the stinging pain sensation that he felt on his entire body. They were faint, but easily noticeable by him due to his weakened condition.

All that Rey could do suddenly was froze on his feet. Somehow seeing his boyfriend got crucioed brought back the long forgotten memory of what happened to him at the Chamber of Secrets. The thing that he could be thankful of, was only his instinct. Albeit stupid, but at least he managed to distract the masked men by punching him in the face, therefore giving his boyfriend a pause... and himself a bruised knuckles that hurt like a bitch.

When Rey thought the man was down, Rey quickly made his way towards Cedric to help the Hufflepuff. Being hit by a cruciatus was not a thing to be taken light of, therefore he tried to heal his boyfriend to the best of his capabilites. His boyfriend was still writhing in pain, pushing Rey to held Cedric's hand in attempt to calm the Hufflepuff down. But when he only started to coax Cedric into calming down, he was immediately thrown a few feet away before being tied up with an 'incarcerous'.

"Children like you are just a pest." The man spat."Was hoping that I'll get an easy kill tonight. But now I got the chance to do a double kill." 

The man walked closer towards Cedric before pointing his dark wand towards the Hufflepuff. Rey's eyes suddenly bulged in horror, as the memory of the things that he have seen from his divination final were currently stabbing his cute little brain. The picture of Coffin and dark banners appeared in turns repeatedly, as if it was a broken film that always appeared Muggle Horror movies.

"There will be mourning indeed..." Professor Trelawney's word suddenly came inside his head.

'No... It couldn't- NO!'  Rey's thought became murky in a sec. He knew he had to save Cedric, but how?

"NO! LET HIM GO!"  He tried to resist against the ropes that was wrapping his body tightly. Rey tried casting a wandless finite, but it came to no avail. The masked man only looked at him as if he was amused at his desperation.

"Don't worry, I will make it very very... slow." The man leered before throwing another beam of glowing red light towards Cedric. The Hufflepuff's screams echoed through the burning field, and soon Rey joined his boyfriend too.

When Cedric was hit with a crucio for the first time, he managed to not mind the tingling pain that have spread from to his entire body. But when Cedric was hit by another cruciatus curse, Rey immediately felt the Hufflepuff's pain. It was as if he was the one who was being hit by that bloody curse, and it just felt terrible. He begged and screamed for the man to stop hitting Cedric and to hit him instead, and somehow... the man seemed to be contemplating his desperate plea.

"Huh... Curious." The man simply stated before hitting Cedric again with a quick cruciatus. Once again, a wave of pain coursed through his entire body, and he screamed along with Cedric. 

Rey already got the idea of what was happening to him, but the man seemed to be so taken aback by the thing that happened before him. The man was in a dark cloak, a black tall hat -that was actually ugly and getting uglier after getting torn in half, and a terrifying skull mask that had a tiny mark of roman numerals of three on it's cheek. Even though the outfit was terrifying, he still couldn't brush off his thought that the man was actually dumb.

"Hmm... What if," The man changed his target as Rey before shooting a cruciatus curse at him. 

As another wave of pain ran through him once again, Rey thought he would absolutely go mad. His vision narrowed, and it only seemed to be getting narrower by the second. He then realized that not only his vision, all of his senses were also reduced so that they could only sense the pain that was coursing through every inch of his body and nothing else. Rey very much figured out what the man was doing, but the man seemed to be extremely disappointed.
