*A week later*

[BELLA'S POV]

After a week of learning about Occlumency and training it with Dumbledore, I finally stopped having visions. Harry warned Ron and he supported me in even more ways that I could imagine. Today was the day of the third task, and I was particulary nervous beacause I was aware of Voldemort's plans. 

"Don't worry darling, everything is going to be fine." Ron smiles at me and I blush. Am I still that fool? "Thanks love, but I have reasons to be worried. Voldemort's trying to kill my brother." He leaves a kiss on my head. "Dumbledore is going to be there. Don't worry that much, instead, we could go on a walk while we wait for the time of the task, what do you think?" He winks.

"I would love to. Let me just put on a coat, it's freezing out there." He laughs. "You're always cold Bellacopter." "We're in December Pumpkin, of course I'm cold." I put on my coat. "Ready!" He puts his arm around me, that old habit of his, and we go on for a walk.

On our way, we find Hermione making out with Harry and I pretend to puke. "Get a room guys!" Harry laughs and Hermione blushes. "Just kidding, me and Ron make out everywhere too."

Now it's Harry's turn to pretend to puke. Ron laughs and I look at Harry. "We're all finally happy." "I agree sis. How about a toast to that?" He winks at me; I already know what I meant by that. "But how Harry?" "I know how. Accio Butterbeer!" And as I say, four butterbeers come to my hand.

"Bloody hell, that was genious!" I smile and we go to the maze, the place where it was going to be the third task. I went next to Viktor and he looked at me sadly. We we haven't spoken since I told him I don't feel the same way as him.

"Hey Vik.. I hope you can win if my brother doesn't." He laughed and looked at me. "Merlin Bella, you look so beautiful right now.." I smiled. "Viktor, I don't feel the same way.."

He looked down. "I know, but can't we just try? I can't just give up on you like that. You did kiss me two weeks ago right?" I blushed. "I can't Vik, I'm in love with Ron.." 

"I know, I just didn't want to believe it." I hug him and Ron comes next to us. "Hey Viktor, is everything alright? Do you need me to go get sometung for you?" For my surprise, he looked worried about Vik.

"Oh, thanks Ron.. I don't need anything. I was just telling Bella how lucky you are." He arched his eyebrows. "I am in fact. And I will keep remembering her everyday."

Vik looked uncomfortable. "Yeah, guys, I better get going.. Bye Bella." I said goodbye and walked to the arquibancs. "What did he want?" Was he jealous? "Ronald Weasley are you jealous?" He slightly blushes. "Of course! Look at you! And he's Viktor Krum, a famous Quiddicth player."

I laughed. "No one could ever replace you Ron. Not Vik, not Draco, not even the richest man in the world. You're  perfection in a red head." He kissed my cheek. "I love you so mu- Look, the task is starting!"

[HARRY'S POV]

I entered the maze, and Viktor was right behind me. Then Cedric and Fleur. There were some stupid plants that tried to get me stuck in them.  After some time, Fleur didn't feel well so she had to quit.

Viktor got stuck, and then it was only me and Cedric, but he was suffocating with the stupid plants. I helped him and we decided that we were both going to pick the trophy, Hogwarts would win would win anyways.

As we touched the trophy, I realized it was a portal key. This wasn't going to end well. We ended up in a cemetary, and I was right in front of my parents grave. Cedric puts his arm around me and hugs me. "I'm sorry Harry, I didn't know we would end up here."

"I know you didn't. It's okay Ced.-" I heard a scream. A bunch of Death Eathers appeared out of nowhere and I pointed my wand at them. Cedric made a protecting spell but they were too many just for two people.

"Stupefy!"  "Expelliarmus!"  "Crucio!" Were literally the only spells that a person could hear there. Then Voldemort appeared and pinned me against the wall. "Cedric run away! I'll be okay!"

Cedric apparated and Voldemort turned to me. "I'm going to kill you, weak Harry Potter. I'm going to destroy you. After tonight, no one will ever again question my power." I shivered with those words. "You're the one who's weak. You'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you."

He looked at me very seriously. "I can touch you now. ... Skin meant only for me." He touched my scar, and my whole body burnt so bad I screamed as loud as I could. "You stand, Harry Potter, upon the remains of my late father, a muggle and a fool-" Then, my sister appeared, sweating like hell. She probably felt the same the burnt on her scar too, the only difference is that hers is on her neck while mine is on my forehead.

"Bella Potter... Harry Potter's sister, always living on her brother's shadow, always a burden to everyone.." Bella laughed. Was she mad? "Oh spare me with your crap talk Voldy, I have better things to do."

I couldn't tell if Voldemort was either amazed by her courage or about to kill her. "How dare you talk like that to me? Do you want to die Potter?" She smirked. "Honestly? I do. But first I'm going to kill you." Voldemort laughed. "Then why don't  you do it Bella? If you want to why don't you try?" Bella gave him a death stare. I just hoped he didn't remeber that i was here. 

"And I will but before I kill you, I want to look into your eyes. ... I want to see the light leave them." Voldemort was amazed. "You're little brave aren't you? You would have done an amazing Slytherin. You're still on time to joing me and your life could be spared."

"I would rather die.  I will always fight not for the good or bad side, but for justice. And I will take revenge for my parents, for everything you did to them." Voldemort smirked. "Then try."
