Cedric Diggory's Little Sister

Chapter 22

*****Harry's POV*****

I hold Rosa close to my chest as we land on the beach. Her arms were practically carved with words by Bellatrix that were bleeding out. Feet come running and a person begins gasping for air. "Bill!" Ron cheers. I turn to see the oldest Weasley sibling standing there, staring around at us. "Rosa. She's hurt." I call. Joe runs over quickly and tries to pull her away from me. I shove him away and brush the hair away from Rosa's face. "Here Harry. Let me help you get her inside." Bill says, putting his hands under Rosa's armpits and pulling her up. She whimpers in pain and I rush to my feet and lift her up bridal style. Bill rushes me over to the beach side cottage and leads me inside. Fleur appears from kitchen. "This is Cedric's sister?" She asks. I nod. "Bellatrix tortured her when she tried to protect me." I explain quickly. Fleur nods and leads me upstairs quickly.

I sit stroking Rosa's hair when the door slams open. I look up to see Cedric looking at his sister in horror with Sirius standing a few feet behind him. Cedric walks over places a hand on her face. Her eyes flutter open and she looks around. "Where are we?" She whispers. "The Shell Cottage where Fleur and Bill are staying. They helped stop the bleeding before Joseph healed you." I explain. She nods and looks toward Cedric and Sirius. Cedric moves to her other side and pulls her up for a hug. She hisses in pain and Cedric quickly places her back down.

I carry Rosa downstairs when Fleur calls us down for dinner and set her down in one of the chairs. She winces in pain and I quickly rub her back. She sends me a weak smile and turns to her plate.

*****Rosalyn's POV*****

***2 months later***

Harry helps me out of the portrait and into the room of requirement where a lot of students from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff crowd around. Ginny runs into the room and smiles at me widely. "Rosa! You're okay!" She cheers and runs to me for a hug. I hold her close to me and flinch as she grabs my arms when she pulls away. "Ginny. Careful." Harry complains, pulling me to his side. "I'm fine, Harry. Plus she didn't know." I whisper in his ear. He nods and kisses my cheek before letting me go. I spot Lydia sitting near the door and run to her quickly. "Rosa!" She squeals, standing up and hugging me as I reach her. Someone clears their throat and we turn to see Joseph standing there awkwardly. I turn away and continue my hugging session with my best friend. I'm yanked away and I turn to see Ron and Hermione gripping onto my arms. "We're going down to the Great Hall soon. Lydia will be giving you your trunk from last year and adjusting your uniform. Meet by the doors when you're finished so the students here can escort you and Harry down." Hermione states. I nod and shake my arms free before trapping her in a hug. She stiffens but hugs back. "Thanks for looking after Harry when I wasn't here for him." I state. "Thanks for protecting him back at Malfoy Manor." She says back. I pull away and smile at the pair. "Hurry up and date will you. It's annoying." I laugh, pointing at Ron and Hermione before running to Lydia.

I look over to Harry as I stand in the crowd of Hufflepuff students with Lydia. He sends a weak smile and waves at me. I wave back and focus on walking to the Great Hall.

Harry steps out of his house group and stands in the middle of the Hall and yells at Professor Snape about him killing Professor Dumbledore at the end of our sixth year. Snape pulls his wand out and points it at Harry. My hands light on fire and I step out. I move to stand beside Harry and surround the stage that Snape stands on with flames. McGonagall steps forward and points her wand at Snape, Hermione, Joseph, Ron and the Order all walking into the room. I laugh as Snape flees in his smokey form and smashes through the window. I quickly move my flames into the torches around the hall. Harry pulls me into his side and I rest my head on his shoulder.

I stand with Neville after setting up the explosives on the bridge as the shield appears around the borders of the school just as the Snatchers run up to us. Neville starts taunting them and a few run at us only to be destroyed as they try to get us. Neville laughs and yells. I sigh and pull him away slightly. A large flash of light appears and I look up to see the shield being destroyed by a spell. The shield flakes and the lead Snatcher catches a bit on the tip of his wand. I step back slightly and the scream out, running straight at us. I pull Neville along quickly and set the cord connecting to the explosives on fire. The bridge falls apart as we run and collapses under us. Neville jumps ahead a grabs one of the remaining supports. "ROSIE!" Harry screams out. My sleeves burn away carefully and as they reach my elbows, I extinguish the small flames with water. I grip onto support beside Neville quickly as my grip on his hand slips. I watch as he climbs up and reaches out to me as he gets up. I grip onto his wrist and sigh as he pulls me up. Someone else quickly helps and I soon connect eyes with Harry. I launch myself into his arms and hug him tightly. He pulls me along to the Entrance Courtyard and leaves me with Cedric, Joseph, Mom, Dad and Sirius before running off somewhere else.

I grip onto Cedric as Joseph heals people and brings the dead back to life. Sirius joins us as Mom and Dad stand to the side awkwardly. Yells ring out from outside and I look toward the door. Cedric quickly leads all the now healed and healthy people out to the Courtyard. I cling onto him and Joseph as I step between the two. I spot the crowds of black walking toward us. A hand is placed on my shoulder and I turn to see Hermione and Ron standing there. "Where's Harry?" I ask. Hermione shrugs her shoulder and focuses on the black crowd. I spot Voldemort in the very center and off to the right Hagrid holding a body as he cries. I spot the familiar messy hair sticking out and let out a whimper. Cedric and Joseph hold me closer. "HARRY POTTER IS DEAD!" Voldemort screams out loudly. I fall to the ground and instantly pass out in shock.
