I woke up with a very bad headache. And I wasn't in Hogwarts anymore. I must've been hundreds of miles away. The mountains surrounding the castle were gone as well. I tried to move, but I was tied up to a post with my arms tied behind the back of the pole, and my mouth was gagged. I muffled my way to try to look around. My heart breathing heavily. And I started to get tears in my eyes. No one probably knew I was here. But how did I get here? I remembered now. Mad Eye... no. An imposter. He impersonated Mad Eye. And he kidnapped me. I was a prisoner until I was killed for all I knew. It was all quiet. "Let me go! Let me go! Where am I?!" I tried to yell out. It was still all quiet. As was a Graveyard. Very creepy.

And it wasn't just silent either. It was also dark and overgrown; the black outline of a small church visible beyond a large yew tree to the right. And a hill from the left. And a fine old house on the hillside.  

"Ethan! Where are you?!" I screamed out. "Help me!" But deep down, I knew that wouldn't work. I was far away from him.  

And then I heard a swooping noise. And I saw Harry slam into the ground. He looked injured. And he was holding the Triwizard Cup, but had let it go. Cedric was with him.

The Graveyard in my visions. This was that Graveyard! It was happening! Right here! Right now! "No!" I tried to yell out. 

"Where are we?" Harry asked. 

Cedric shook his head. "Hang on a second. The Graveyard. Was this the Graveyard from Kassie's vision?" He asked. 

It was. And it was where Cedric was about to die. 

Cedric looked down at the Cup. "But why would the cup be a Portkey?" He asked. "And why would it lead out here?"

"No clue. I don't think this is part of the task. We should get out of here." Harry insisted. 

I screamed out loud. And thank the gods that the boys heard me.

"Do you hear something?" Cedric asked. "Wands out." 

Harry looked around to see me. "Kassie?!" He asked in pure horror and ran up to me.

Same with Cedric. "Oh my god!" 

I screamed at them. Cedric removed my gag. "Guys!" I started crying. 

Both of them hugged me. "Who did this to you?" Cedric asked trying to work on my bonds.

We didn't have time to waste. "Cedric! Harry! It's a trap! We have to get out of here!" 

"Well come on, let's get back to the-" But Harry's words were suddenly stopped by a sudden pain on his forehead. And he fell down to his knees, screaming in pain. His wand slipped from his fingers. 

Suddenly, I saw a figure drawing nearer, walking steadily towards us. Whoever it was, was short, a hooded cloak pulled up over their head to obscure their face. And there was something in that person's arms. Like a baby. But it wasn't Ethan nor Sean. It could've been a bundle of robes. 

"Guys! Run!" I yelled.

But another figure arrived as well. This one was bigger in dark armor and a mask. A wand in his hand. "Run? Where are you going to go?" He asked. 

Cedric pointed his wand. "Who are you? What do you want?!" He demanded. 

"Kill the spare!" A shrill voice came from the short person. Or from the bundle in the Short Person.

Pettigrew started to raise his wand. "Avada-" 

"NO!" The Dark Armored one yelled out, interrupting Pettigrew. "I will deal with him myself." He insisted. "And the girl as well!"
