Chapter XXI

–Animagi–

Easter Holidays, Tuesday, 4 April 1972

CEP's POV

Harry looked up at the massive looking entrance of the labyrinth.

"Guys?" He asked uncertain as the rest of the guests all passed past him and inside the labyrinth, each going separate ways.

"It's part of the ceremony." James shrugged and just walked inside.

Harry looked up at the massive hedgerows. They looked even taller than the ones in his fourth-year...

"It's... safe... right?"

"Of course not. It's full of traps to try to keep my brother from getting to his fiancé." Rabastan argued and entered past Harry who, for the first-time in his life, stepped back instead of forward.

Ron and Hermione glanced back at Harry, who was feeling the hedgerow fall down on him and he had yet to enter...

"Don't worry. The traps are only on the other entrance. The groom's entrance." Rosier Jr. offered, setting an arm besides Harry and offering it for him to take like a gentleman. "Shall we?"

"There really won't be anything?"

"Not a thing." Rosier Jr. promised. "Come on, it's bad etiquette to don't join in."

Unsure Harry accepted the arm and they entered, as he did his best not to focus on any sound around them. Only for suddenly something to strike him from behind and he shriek like mad.

"Why did you guys do that?" He heard Ron snap, only for Harry to see James and Peter laughing by the side.

Harry did his best to focus on his breath as he walked backwards and, before Rabastan could stop him for some reason, his back hit the hedgerow. That's when he felt it. It was alive. The few sunlight that was in their corridor was suddenly gone.

"Oh no, you activated one of the curses." Rabastan groaned. "Hey, where's Junior? We was with us to undo them if we'd need it!"

Harry felt Ron and Hermione approach and try to keep him calm, but Harry started hearing screams. Fleur's. Viktor's... Cedric's...

Suddenly Ron and Hermione were pulled away from him and then Voldemort was before him, bringing him back from the screams in his mind. Harry looked up to the sky to see the sunlight was back.

"It's all right. It's undone." The older argued, only to frown when Harry latched onto his arm. "Heiress Peverell?" He asked, obviously using that title because they weren't alone.
