"Accio Portkey!" Harry shouted, Diana holding him and Cedric's body close as the cup flew over to them and they were brought back outside of the maze, and that was when Harry and Diana let the tears fall. Everybody cheered around them, but the two just sobbed, Diana's arm around Harry, holding tight, as if she would never let him go. She didn't want to let him go, for if she did, she feared that she would fulfill Voldemort's orders and kill her brother.
"Harry! Diana!" Dumbledore came running over and tried to pull the siblings off of Cedric, but they held onto him.
"No! No!" Harry shouted, sobbing still. "He's back! Voldemort's back! He killed Cedric!"
"Nooo!!" Amos Diggory came running down from the stands. "That's my boy! That's my son!" Chaos erupted, and Diana suddenly felt a rough hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Moody!
"Come on. Let's get you out of here." Instantly, Diana felt the curse pulling at her.
"No! No!" She screamed through her tears as Moody tried to pull her to her feet, but she pulled away and collapsed back on to Harry and Cedric. "Stay away from me!" She then felt Moody grab her shoulder and pull her up so his mouth was level with her ear.
"You listen to me, Potter." He growled. "Get your brother, and follow me to my classroom! Don't cause a scene and try to get Dumbledore's attention!" Diana nodded, choking on her tears a little, before gently pulling Harry up.
"Come on, Harry. Let's get out of here." She told him softly. "Before Skeeter decides to show up." Harry fought her a little, but soon stopped and went along with her and Moody.
Moody dragged them up to his classroom, where he made them sit on the big chest he had.
SKIP SOME OF THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE ITS NOT RELEVANT AT THE CURRENT MOMENT AND WILL BE FILLED IN LATER GAHHH!!!!


"Potter! Hold him down! And pick up the knife!" Harry watched as Diana jerked to her feet, looking to him with tear filled eyes.
"I'm sorry, Harry." She whispered, before grabbing a knife off of Moody's desk with one hand and holding Harry's, wrists down with her other hand. Moody pointed his wand at her, and Harry began to fight her.
"The Dark Lord shall praise me, knowing that I have finally destroyed Harry and Diana Potter! Kill him!"
"No!" Diana screamed, the knife coming down anyway towards Harry's heart, Moody beginning to shout a spell, just as the door came down!
"Expelliarmus!" And Moody's wand flew out his hand, just as other voices shouted, "Stupefy!" And both Moody and Diana went flying, Moody into a chair and Diana against the wall, writhing and sobbing. It was Dumbledore! behind him was Snape and McGonagall! They ran over to Moody and poured Veristeraum into his mouth.
"Do you know who I am?" Dumbledore demanded, Moody glaring at him.
"Al-bus Dumbledore!" Moody managed to choke out.
"Professor, that's not-!" Diana began to shout, but Moody stopped her.
"Shut up, wench!"
"Don't talk to her like that!" That came from Snape, who held his wand at Moody's throat while Dumbledore checked on Harry.
"Are you alright, Harry?" Harry nodded, looking to his sister with worry.

MORE SKIP CAUSE I'M LAZY AND WILL FILL IN LATER!!!

"Severus, with me." Dumbledore said, looking to Diana, who had been crying the whole time. "The Veristeraum!" Snape pulled the cork off the bottle with a pop, and poured the rest of the contents into Diana's mouth. She swallowed quickly, still shaking.
"Were you working for Crouch?" Dumbledore demanded.
"Yes!" She said quickly, gasping out as if something was hurting her.
"Don't say another word!" Crouch ordered, and her mouth shut and the tears still fell.
"Speak, child!" Dumbledore shouted. "Why were you working for Crouch?" Diana tried to speak, but the curse forbade her. So she mouthed it. "What?"
Imperious Curse! She mouthed, and Dumbledore finally noticed and read her lips. He turned to Crouch.
"Crouch! Allow her to speak." Crouch glared at him, but gave Diana permission to speak.
"Professor, I'm sorry!" She cried as soon as she could. "It was him! He made me steal from Professor Snape! He caused Fleur to be trapped in the hedge! Viktor was cursed and he and Cedric were supposed to kill each other, but Harry stopped Cedric! He was the one who messed with the cup! I'm sorry! I wanted to stop him, but-!"
"Diana, please." Dumbledore said, and she stopped. "I've heard enough. Thank you for your information. Severus," he turned to Snape. "Please, unstun Diana and take her down to the infirmary. I shall question her further there."
"No!" Diana shouted quickly. "If I can move, then I may kill Harry! Its part of the curse! If I don't fulfill what duties are given to me by Crouch... It hurts. And my body will keep on insisting for me to do it until its done." She looked to Snape with pleading eyes. "Lock me up. Tie me down, put in chains, but don't let me near Harry!" Snape handed her a bottle.
"Its a sleeping draught." He told her, and Diana quickly downed it. Harry watched in disbelief and fear as his sister, the one person who truly knew what it felt like and he could share everything with, had nearly killed him. She had been avoiding him and fighting curses and mad Death Eaters, just to save him. And now she was draining a sleeping potion just to be sure he was safe.
"No!" Crouch screamed as she drank. "You little brat! I could have given you anything! And yet you disobey me! Why don't you just rid the world of your filth? Why don't you just die!? Kill yourself and end the world's suffering!" Diana's eyes went wide and she dropped the bottle, it shattering on the floor and her picking up the knife she had dropped.
"Diana, no!" Harry dove, and grabbed her wrist, pushing the knife away from where she was about to plunge it into her heart, and they both hit the ground, darkness clouding his eyesight

SKIP!!

Harry awoke in the hospital wing, with bandages on his arms and one on his head. He looked over, and saw Diana lying next to him, her arms tied together and her ankles uncovered to reveal that they were chained down to the end board.
"Diana!" Harry made to get up, throwing back his covers.
"Ah ah ah!" He heard Madam Pomfrey call, and she gently pushed him back down onto the bed. "Mustn't disturb her! This curse should wear off, but there are still days to go! Until then, she must stay asleep! Otherwise, she would do whatever it takes to kill both of you." Harry looked back at Diana, who slept fitfully, but he grudgingly got back into bed.

SKIP!!

"Hey there, Harry." Harry heard a familiar voice call, and saw Fred and George had come to visit him and Diana. "How's she doing?" Fred asked him, looking over at Diana, who still slept.
"She's been fitful." Harry told them, and both twins' faces darkened with more worry. "She's been getting more and more calm as each day passes, but that curse was a strong one, according to Madam Pomfrey. It could be a few more days." Fred and George went over to Diana, George fingering the chains around her ankles and Fred caressing her cheek. Harry pulled his curtain shut, certain that the two needed some time with Diana by themselves.
Fred just stared at Diana's face, thinking even as she slept that she was beautiful. Her eyes were moving around beneath her eyelids, and even in her sleep she looked concerned, her mouth set in a frown.
"She just doesn't know when to quit, does she?" George asked him softly. "When to quit worrying, I mean." Fred nodded, not looking away from her.
"She's always worried. She's worried most of her life."
"Well, Harry's fourteen now. Next year is our seventh year and our last year. She can't protect him forever."
"She doesn't just worry about him, Georgie." Fred told him. "I mean, he's the one she worries about the most, anyone can see that, but he's not the only one. She worries about Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, us, Hagrid, a lot of people. She even worries about Percy and he's been nothing but a real git to her."
"Why do you think Bill kept calling her "Mum" at the Quidditch World Cup?" George teased lightly. "She mothered the whole lot of us to death, even Dad." Fred chuckled a little, then Madam Pomfrey came in.
"Boys, visiting hours are up! Time to head to your dorms!" Fred sighed, but leaned down and gave Diana a kiss, gently pushing her bangs back with his thumb.
"Don't worry, Diana." He whispered. "Don't worry anymore. Just please wake up soon." Then he and George left.
