''He is. The Dark Lord is rising. '', he whispers softly.

''We should get Professor Dumbledore. '', said Draco. Severus nod in agreement.

''Stay here with my father. I'm going to get him. '', she said before taking off. As she pushed past the row of students to the teacher's section she felt a tap on her shoulder. She breathed in deeply not to lose control of her temper.

''So, are you and Draco sexually active?'', came Rita's voice.

This didn't sit well with her. She turned to the woman, ''Rita, many people know actually your animagus form. It's a beetle and you're not registered. '', said Hermione as the reporter's face changed but Hermione continued, ''I won't tell the ministry if you leave me, my family and friends alone. ''

The reporter nodded without a word and even before Hermione turned around Rita had marched into the crowd.

''What took you so long?'', asked Draco when she and Professor Dumbledore arrived. Severus was sweating furiously dabbing his handkerchief at his forehead.

''I had to get rid of a bug first.'', she said.

Dumbledore walked over to Severus who was sitting on the floor. He went to his knees. Taking Severus hand he saw the dark markings of the Dark mark swelled on his skin. It had a red tint, like a rash.

''He's getting close Albus. He almost here. '', said Severus through his teeth.

''He reported a searing pain in his arm just after you left, Hermione. '', said Draco.

Albus placed his hand on Severus's forehead, ''He has a fever but it's going down. . . ''

''The pain is getting more bearable, but slowly. '', said Severus trying to stand up.

Hermione's chest was closing off. It felt like her worst nightmare has come true. Harry's worst enemy was rising and she was going to be split between two sides. Her family and her friends. Good and Evil. She would be forced to choose and it will have lasting effects on both sides.

Suddenly there was a flash of light and then there were gasps of surprise. Albus rushed to the opening to see what was going on. The scream that followed made Hermione's heart wrench.

Harry lay on the grass next to Cedric sobbing like a three-year-old. Albus moved through the crowd. It was mere moments when the other two contestants came to light. Cedric didn't move.

''He's dead! Voldemort killed him! Cedric. . . . he's dead!'', sobbed Harry. This sent shock waves through the crowd. She could see a green spot moving closer to the field. Dumbledore helped Harry up but Mad-Eye moody grabbed Harry and before Hermione could blink was Harry gone.

''Now settle down everyone!'', said Dumbledore calmingly as the gawking crowd started chattering. They all fell silent. Most taking their seats, ''Now most of you are shocked and distraught about what happened here tonight. I can assure you that Tom Riddle won't harm you and your families as long as you are here at Hogwarts. I would like to encourage all of you to stay for the night. If you have any information on Tom's whereabouts feel free to come and discuss it with me. '', he said and without another word, he walked up to Hermione.
