Your Spell On Me (Book 4) GxG

Cedric's Death

"Harry!" Dumbledor said as Harry coughs up water and a towel is put around him over his shoulders.

"Go get him another towel," Seamus said.

"I want all the judges over here now," Dumbledor said as he left

"You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister! Thank you! And you... You helped!" Fleur said as she kisses Harry on the face before turning to Ron

"Well... yeah... a bit," Ron said Fleur chuckled and kisses him too.

Hermione comes up to Harry with a towel I now realise that she had gone off to get a nice dressing gown to keep herself warm I grab a towel and wrap it around him.

"Harry!" Hemione said worriedly.

"Hermione," Harry said still out of breath.

"Are you alright? You must be freezing! Personally, I think you behaved admirably," Hermione said as she gave Harry another towel and kisses Harry on the head.

"I finished last Hermione," Harry said.

"Next to last," I said.

"Fleur never got past the Grindylows," Hermoine said.

"Attention! Attention! The winner is... Mr Diggory!" Dumbledore said as he used his want to amplify his voice and Cedric and his friend's cheer.

"For showing unique command of the bubblehead charm. The way I see it, Mr Potter would have finished first had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Mr Weasly but the others as well. We've agreed to award him second place! For outstanding moral fibre," Dumbledore said and we all hugged Harry.

Later as we are walking away from the lake with Harry we are still cheering him as he heads back to the castle I am with Hermione as I keep my arm around her to make sure she is warm.

"All that moral fibre eh?" Fred said.

"Blimey even when you go wrong it turns out right," Ron said

"Well done moral fibre," George said as he and the others go on ahead seeing Barty Crouch is waiting for Harry.

Later we are all in the Dark Forest with Hagrid as we walk around Harry is a little away from us but that is to be expected he is now the one that needs time off he is more famous than ever.

"So I remember, I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I've ever set eyes on. Always reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later," Hagrid said.

"We're still misfits," Ron said.

"Maybe. But we've all got each other, and Harry of course. Soon to be! The youngest! Tri-Wizard champion there's ever been! Hooray!" Hagrid said yelling to make sure Harry heard him.

We walk on singing the Hogwarts song and then I go off over to Harry to see him holding his head in pain I then see on the ground Barty Crouch laying lifeless. Dead.

"Mr Crouch?" I said.

A few days later and the third and final task is about to begin we are all in waiting by a maze as music is playing and we all gathered waiting for the champions to emerge as soon enough they do.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory...and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum... and then miss Delacour. The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants gather around," Dumbledore said as the contestants gathered around him and he gives them some last-minute advice.

"Champions! Prepare yourselves," Mad eye said and Cedric hugs his father.

"On the count of three... ONE..." Dumbledore said and the cannon goes off.

Mr Filch shrugs comically. Dumbledore groans. Harry and Cedric enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes up behind Harry. As that happens I realise that the final task is officially underway I took Hermione's hand and she smiled at me as if to reassure me that it was all going to be fine and I smiled back. The band had quieted down after a good 10 minutes and now we were just playing the long waiting game I could hear the faint sound of movement in the maze and I knew it was the maze changing. Then red sparks went up and then Fleur Delacour arrived and she was completely unconscious and that confirmed for me that this was more than just a maze that can change.

The task dragged on and I was looking at the sky above the maze and it was twisting like a storm but only above the maze I then saw that Victor Krum was also now out.

"So Harry and Cedric are all that's left that should be fun," I said to Hermione.

"Who do you think will win," Hermione said.

"Well Cedric may be older and know more spells than Harry but Harry has more experience with situations like this so I guess they are evenly matched," I said.

"Well regardless of who wins at the very least it will be someone from Hogwarts," Ron said.

"I suppose that is a good point," I said.

Soon after that out of nowhere Harry and Cedric appeared and fell to the floor they made it, the band started up and people were cheering and standing up Harry was over Cedric. I thought that something was up and then a scream from Fleur Delacour confirmed it the band stopped and Harry was weeping on Cedric's body as Dumbledore came over to him.

"Harry! Harry! Tell me what happened!" Dumbledore said as he tries to prize Harry from Cedric's body.

"He's back, he's back! Voldemort's back. Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him, not there," Harry said crying.

"It's alright Harry. It's alright, he's home, you both are" Dumbledore said.

"Keep everybody in their seats. A boy has just been killed. The body must be moved Dumbledore, there are... too many people," Fudge said as he turned away.

"Let me through! That's my son! That's my boy!" Amos said and then began crying over Cedric.

Amos breaks down wailing. The crowd is looking on distraught I feel tears beginning to brim in my eyes and I hugged Hermione and let the tears fall from my eyes.
