Celia

I wanted to be there for Harry, but we were still fighting. I was talking to Ron and Hermione, but I avoided Harry.

We were all sitting next to each other, while Harry was in the middle of the field.

After Dumbledore's announcement they started. Harry and Cedric were the first to start followed by Viktor and Fleur. It was quite boring. We didn't see them. We were just talking.

"I'm still sorry for yesterday" I apologised.

"Don't tell us, tell him" Ron said.

"I should" I said softly.

"Who do you guys think will win?" Hermione asked.

"I would say Cedric, but I kinda feel like that some miracle will help Harry to win" I said.

"Harry of course! What do you think? Ron asked.

"I would be happy if Harry wins, but I hope that Viktor will win" Hermione replied.

Ron rolled his eyes and not in a joking way and I giggled.

"He's-"

"Don't you dare say anything about him!" Hermione warned Ron.

"Can't believe you still like him" Ron said.

"So? Celia and Harry are also still dating, right?" Hermione responded.

I hoped so. We didn't break up, but I was scared that he would which would be pathetic because we were just fighting.

"I think so" I replied.

"What do you mean you think so?" Ron asked.

"I mean that I don't know what he thinks, but I would say yes, we are still dating" I answered.

"Stop overthinking everything! It's just a fight. Ron and I are fighting every day and we are still friends" Hermione said.

"But she treated him like shit. Even I noticed it" Ron said.

"I didn't mean to hurt him" I responded.

"Anyway, I have to tell you something" I said.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Yesterday professor Moody spilt his drink on my desk and I think I figured out what it is and if I'm right we have a huge problem" I said.

"What's that drink?" Ron asked.

"You remember when we created Polyjuice in the second year? It smelled the same"

"I created it!" Hermione corrected.

"If it was Polyjuice it would mean that he's an impostor or at least not the real Alastor Moody" Ron said.

"That could be possible" I replied.

"That's so weird" Hermione said.

In the past hour, we are talking about literally everything. We waited for the winner to come back and each minute our hope increased. Then Harry finally appeared, but he wasn't alone, Cedric was with him. Everyone was cheering but I knew something was wrong. Harry was leaning on him crying.

Only a short while later everyone also realised it. Cedric Diggory was dead. I could see Cho crying. They both were dating and it made me realise that I should be more thankful for Harry. I could also have lost him every time.

Amos Diggory, Cedric's father was crying and screaming. It was heartbreaking. Harry left the pitch with Professor Moody and I started to worry. He shouldn't be alone with him.

"Celia, tell your dad!" Ron yelled.

"Tell him what?" I asked.

"About the potion! Or do you want to be the next girl with a dead boyfriend?" Ron yelled.

"But what if I'm wrong?" I yelled back.

"I told you to stop overthinking everything!" Hermione yelled at me.

They started to push me. I was so scared. If I was wrong I would have died. I ran to Severus and he already was looking at me so annoyed.

"Don't annoy me " he warned me.

"Alastor Moody is an impostor" I said.

"I don't have time for your strange suspicions" he said stressed out.

"He spilt Polyjuice potion on my desk!" I yelled.

"Are you sure" he looked at me.

"Yes!" I replied.

"Then go to my storage and grab Veritaserum. We meet in front of his office. I'll tell the other professors" Snape infested.

I was surprised and proud at once that he really believed me. After a short moment of pride, I ran through the castle to his storage. I ran as fast as possible. I was so worried about Harry. I hoped I was wrong, but I also hoped that I was right, because I would have died if I was wrong.

Arrived in the storage I didn't know where to start. He literally had everything in there. I tried to search as fast as possible, but it was impossible in there. I found Amortentia, Felix Felicis and Calming Draught. I should have used that as I had my kinky Draco dream. I couldn't find it. I ripped everything out of the shelf and I finally found it at the very back of the shelf.

I ran to the office and I almost fell on my way back. The professors were already waiting for me.

"Did you get it?" McGonagall asked.

"I did" I replied

"Give it to me. You stay here" Severus infested.

"No, I want to go with in" I said.

"Severus, potter could need someone" McGonagall said.

Severus opened the door and they all ran aggressively to Moody. I was standing in a corner. As Harry saw me he ran to me and hugged me.

"What's going on" Harry asked.

"I think he's an impostor. Yesterday he spilled Polyjuice potion on my desk" I answered.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Voldemort, he's back. He killed Cedric" Harry replied.

I looked down at his arm and I saw a huge cut. I realised that he was honest and everything will get serious now. I hugged him. What if he would have died?
