Cedric's Sister

Ch 13

Penny's p.o.v

After Mr Crouch's body was found dead, many believed it was necessary to cancel the Tournament. But the Ministry of Magic decided to continue it. And ever since last night, I have been getting an unsettling feeling. I do hope nothing wrong happens.

Everyone had gathered at the stands waiting for the victors to show. Papa and I were allowed to wait with Cedric on the main grounds. Still waiting to enter the main arena. Nearby I saw Dumbledore was with Harry. I am truly glad he wasn't alone. When Harry noticed me, he gave a timid smile. I guess he still has his mind from last night. I returned a smile and waved back. But before I could head over to wish him luck, Cedric carried me up on his shoulders, like he always does.

"Come on my lucky penny! Let's make an entrance." He said as Papa led the way out to the arena.

As we came out, the people shouted and cheered. It came all around. I couldn't stop smiling or laughing for my big brother. Cedric himself kept on running around with me still on top holding on.

He finally gave in and put me down. The rest of the champions entered after us. Once Dumbledore announced yet again that the third task would begin, we gave our goodbyes.

"Be careful and good luck, my boy." Papa joyously told Cedric. But I saw Cedric pull a cheeky smile. Oh no.

"Of course, dad." He immediately ruffly patted my hair so much with his two hands. He was messing it up!

"Cedric!" I cried out annoyed. But I still can't help but giggle.

"What? Papas orders." He innocently acted with his hands up for defense. I playfully glared up at him.

"But with two hands?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"I need all the luck I can get." We all burst out laughing. Papa then pulled us in for the three of us to hug. As we did, I couldn't help but fear to let go.

"Please be safe." I pleaded. He looked down at me and nodded. As papa and him continued to talk, I ran up to Harry. He seemed stunned to see me coming.

"Hi Penny-" I hugged him tight. He slowly caught on and hugged me back. I pulled away at arms length to make sure he would see me and hear me properly.

"Good luck Harry. And be safe." I told him. He smiled and nodded.

"I promise."

Harry's p.o.v

Everything happened so fast.

I was in the maze. It was dark, fog everywhere. It was chilling in every way I could think of. Then Fleur was taken. Krum was bewitched. Cedric and I were almost caught in who knows what enchanting spell was put on. But we managed to make it to the trophy. We were both willing to give it up for the other, then agreed to take the trophy together.

But when we touched it, the trophy was a portkey. Taking us to a grave I had seen in my dreams. And to our utter shock. It was a ritual Peter Pettigrew, Worm-tail, had made in order to revive the Dark Lord.

Cedric confronted him to protect me, but before I could stop him, it was too late. Worm-tail used the killing curse on Cedric. Cedric was dead. Then Worm-tail trapped me in a statue. Used my blood as one of the ingredients he needed for Voldemort.

So many things continued. Death Eaters appeared in black smoke. All wearing masks and capes for cover. Voldemort then freed me only to torture me and to fight me. I was panicking. Cedric was laying there dead. How was I going to tell Penny? How was I going to get back?
