The Death Curse(Harry Potter and the Cursed Child & The Walking Dead Crossover)

In the Middle of Nowhere

"There's still no luck." Cedric wipes away the sweat on his face. He feels so tired physically , mentally and emotionally. Since the last five days, he didn't find a time to rest his back. Inferis are everywhere, always ready to snatch them for food. "It's been months now, but still, there's no sign. Even the pointing spell doesn't work."

"Cedric, I think you need to rest." Albus is quite worried about Cedric, he can see that he's still mourning for the death of his father from their trip in Australia.

But still doing his best to find Harry.

Cedric may not say it, but he's quite guilty for this catastrophe. It's all because of him, of saving his life, it's not his decision to make though....

"We'll take charge."

"Are you sure? But.." there's a doubt in his voice.

"Don't worry, ok?" Scorpius assured. "We may just be kids but we're not completely useless."

"Besides, we earned our wands from battling the Death Eaters we encountered when we're in Australia. I preferred my own wand though but we can cast a spell to form a ward." Albus spoke with pride in his voice.

Cedric froze, looked at him and force a smile.

Though hesitated, "If you say so... But if something comes up, just wake me up immediately."

He went in the tent to lay his back and rest. He saw Snape working with the map he got and Professor McGonagall preparing for food.

"I don't know if it's the right thing to let the two take over."

"No worries ," said Professor McGonagall, "they can handle it. I can see that they're somewhat great wizards of their age. And besides, you need to rest."

Cedric sits besides Snape. "What is that?"

"It's a map of New York. We already searched the entire area. We need to move on to another place." Snape looked at him and Professor McGonagall, "How about Texas? Or Washington DC?"

"Alright, if that's what we need to do. But first, let's full our stomach with food. And tomorrow, before the light goes out, we will travel to Texas. Then if no luck, we'll go to Washington DC."

They all ate the food Minerva prepared and rested comfortably in the tent that night.

Great thanks to magic, for their tent is no ordinary tent. It might be smaller on the outside but bigger in the inside. It has two floors, with three small bedroom with soft and warm beds. On the first floor, it has a small living room with a couch and two love seats. Besides, has a small partition for toilet and bathroom and on the other side is a cute little kitchen with cupboards where the meats and fruits and vegetables are stored and stayed fresh.

Albus and Scorpius stayed up that night.

They're tired....

But as promise they will take watch.

"You know what, Albus, it is some quite adventure, isn't it?"

Albus looks at Scorpius in disbelief.

"Don't get me wrong," he corrected with the accusing looks on Albus's eyes, "It's just... I was thinking, if we'll be back in our world, no one had ever got an experience as we had. This..." he looks at the surroundings, "It made us stronger, and more matured and responsible. The moment we get back, we're not our old selves anymore. We're like new person"

Albus slowly nodded at his words.

He understand what he's trying to say. With the thought that they can still go back in their own time, it gives them something worth fighting for.
