The spheres that the bubble around you produced take shape, surrounding you. There are four of the bubbles, each taking spiritual shapes. You look at the figures, seeing each one is glowing an iridescent blue. They surround you as you and Voldemort struggle.

Each of them stares at you, and you clearly see each figure. One, your mother, returned from thirteen years of death. She smiles kindly at you, her (m/e/c) eyes shining. Then again, everyone's are as they are the spirits of the dead. Two other stand, holding hands. You recognize them as Lily and James Potter, who tilt their heads and smile at you. The final figure is Cedric, whose eyes are narrowed and whose smile is full of regret and sorrow.

"(Y/N), when the connection is
broken you must get to the portkey. We can delay it for a moment to give you time but only a moment, do you understand?" You nod at your mother, her voice seeming to echo. She smiles, holding a cold, ghostly hand to your cheek. The Potters smile at you, then turn to Voldemort with eyes full of determination. Cedric hovers closer to you, smiling as you hold onto your spell against the dark lord.

"(Y/N), take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my father." You nod at the apparition that is Cedric, tears flowing freely down your face at your dead loved ones. They all turn to the dark lord, who sees them as clearly as you do.

"Let go, sweetheart!" Your mother says, a loving smile on her face. James and Lily turn to you.

"You're ready!" James says, smiling.

"Let go! Let go!" You finally listen to Lily Potter, ceasing your spell as the ghosts fly at Voldemort. His spell disappears as well, the ghosts distracting him. The white bubble disappears, and you dash away from the group of dark wizards. You bolt to Cedrics still warm corpse, placing a hand against his chest. You grab the tri-wizard cup, and as the world fades you hear Voldemort screaming your name.

The world reappears, but you are not in the graveyard any longer. Instead, you hear the joyous music that plays in the arena you entered the maze from. Everyone sees you and Cedric, as well as the tri-wizard cup resting nearby. What they don't see is the spell that was cast on Ced, so they have no idea what happened. The music plays, and the crowd screams you and Cedrics names as they cheer. You clutch Cedrics shirt, hopin, praying, begging for this to all be a dream. Thinking he can come back. You sob, and you can do nothing but that as Dumbledore sees your state. A few other teachers do as well, and Snape and McGonagall run over. Still, everyone is too busy celevrating to notice.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" Dumbledore grabs your shoulders, attempting to pry you from Cedrics body. He is unable as you cling to him with everything you have. Your eyes fade to (e/c) and your fangs round once more as you sob, but look up at Albus.

"He's back!" You scream, your voice cracking. "Hes back, Voldemorts back! Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back! I couldn't leave him, not there! Never there!" You turn back to the corpse, your eyes producing more water than you thought possible as a flood dampens Ceds shirt.

Dumbledores eyes widen, and he turns to Fudge. Fudge turns to Snape, who listens to the mans words.

"Keep everyone in their seats. A boys just been killed." Some people hear, and your cries are suddenly the only sound in the stadium as everyone comprehends what is happening. Amos finally realizes, and no one stops him as he fumbles down to the arena.

"Let me through! Let me through! My boy! Thats my son!" Amos dashes down the the grassy area, and crawls next to Cedrics body. He begins to sob with you, but he is not pulled away as you are.

"No! Let me go! LET ME GO!" You kick and scream, fighting to get back to Cedric as someone wraps their arms around you.

"Hush, Black. Come on! Lets get you out of here." Mad-Eye Moody drags you out of the stadium, easily in control of your weak body. You are pulled away sobbing as you look back at your friends bloody corpse.
