Cedric's death felt like a boulder sinking through Harry's heart. Making a hole that nothing could fill. He blamed himself for Cedric's death. He couldn't live with that guilt, the guilt was too overwhelming.

Harry was sitting in the Gryffindor common room with " Mysteries of Dark by Sharklore Hirunkal" in his lap. Beside him, on his bed there was a pile of books of various authors he had taken from the restricted section of the library. Lately he had been making a lot of trip to the restricted section which were raising quite a number of eyebrows.

" Hey Harry, what's up with you? Where have you been lately?" Ron asked who had just entered the room. He was wearing a red turtle neck sweater and a blue jeans. His hair were as messy as ever and he made no effort to change it.

" You seem preoccupied. Is it Cedric's death?" Ron asked.

Harry couldn't say a word.

" You shouldn't be so hard on yourself." said Ron to fill the silence.

" No its just that he should have been alive. I should have saved him. Its all my fault." Harry said flipping the pages of the books on his lap.

" Its not your fault. You did what you could."

" No I haven't done anything. I should have."

" Take it easy buddy. You..." Ron stopped short seeing the expression on Harry's face. He couldn't exactly place what it was. Happiness, sorrow, surprise. What? Harry had a look which Ron had never seen on his face. A look of triumph.

" There always a way. For everything." Harry said " I am gonna bring back the dead" .
