Hogwarts Express: Time Travel

LXI. He's back.... He's back

LXI. He's back.... He's back

They appear back to the exit. As Annie and Cedric hits the earth with a massive thud spraying from her nose from the impact, arms still slung tight over Cedric. The Triwizard Cup goes bounding silently away, as if in a dream, and then... a rush of sounds engulf Annie as cheers and screams of happiness sounds from the stands,

Annie pays them no mind as she buries her face in Cedric's unmoving chest and screams into it, she was sure her vocal chores were being ripped apart from how hard she was screaming, clenching and unclenching her fist over his hair and Hufflepuff themed shirt, tears of absolute grief and anguish, she was trembling

Annie: [Her voice quivering as she was unable to stop crying] Ahhhh, No!

Some slapped a hand to their mouth in horror, the scene was undoubtedly heartbreaking, seeing her scream in terror and pain that way was too much for their hearts

Every scream tore at their heart it was horrifying to watch, it was too much, some had to close their eyes, only hearing the screams, some were openly crying, other gasping in shock, Amos Diggory was no better than Annie though, he was shaking from how hard he was crying. He just saw his son die.

"Poor girl" Molly sniffed

Watching Annie scream and cry and witness a part of herself die right there and crumble into ash as her screams got louder and louder, it was tremendously heart-wrenching and agonizing it was undeniably calamitous and hard to watch.

Even Dumbledore himself had to tear his gaze away from the screen, there was only an amount of heartbreak he could withstand.

"I don't think I'd ever survive that if I were her" A Hufflepuff girl cried

"We all established that Annie is stronger than all of us combined"

"Couldn't have said it better" Evan nodded, while some didn't appreciate being spoken for but they couldn't agree more with what he said.

Annie was undeniably the strongest 14 year old girl they have ever seen, she was just on another league of her own, she was probably stronger than most 7th years and that's saying something

"My little baby" Lily cried "My sweet, sweet poor baby"

Annie she looks up the sky still dizzying into view she sees Dumbledore.

Dumbledore: Annie! Annie!

Annie: [Looking back down to Cedric as more tears roll down her cheek] He's back

Dumbledore's eyes darken, when the minister joins them.

Fudge: What's going on here! [His eyes fall on Cedric and widen in shock] My God. Dumbledore... this boy... this boy is dead.

Annie: [Shaking her head trying to stop shaking, he voice hoarse from all the screaming and crying] He asked me to bring him back... couldn't leave him ... not there... I'm sorry...

Dumbledore: Yes...

Gently, Dumbledore places his hand atop Annie's and tries to pries it from Cedric's chest. but Annie resists, she didn't want to let go of him, she shakes off Dumbledore and continues to cry into Cedric's chest, wishing that this was just a nightmare. At her resistance, Dumbledore leans down, whispers softly into her and -- as if by magic -- the clatter of the crowd is for this moment, muted.

Dumbledore: It's all right, Annie. He's home. You both are... [Annie looks into his eyes and softly relaxes and letting go]

Fudge: The body has to be moved, Dumbledore! There are too many people—
