"Cedric!" I ran towards Cedric who was walking alone in the corridors. The third task was tomorrow. Fleur had told be she wasn't able to drop the tournament and she would have to participate still, Harry too decided to participate.

"What's up Evelyn?" He asked smiling at me like usual.

"When the third task begins tomorrow, promise me you'll give up in the middle. Get out as soon as you can, please"

"Why?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"The tournament is rigged to Harry's favor. Someone rigged it but all I know is that you know who could be behind this. It's not safe Cedric, please, please just get out in the middle" I pleaded grabbing on to his arm. He looked at me with a puzzled expression thinking.

"It's rigged to Harry's favor?"

"Yes, please just give up the tournament"

"I'm sorry Evelyn, I can't. I'm going to win this tournament don't worry. Remember, Dumbledore is closely watching the match, he'll know when something is off. Not to forget, hundreds of students are also watching"

"Cedric no-"

"I promise I'll be safe. Trust me on this one, I saved you from the black lake come on"

I sighed and looked up at him. Hundreds of students were going to be watching like he said. Not to forget Dumbledore was too, if anything were to happen someone would see it right away. I nodded slightly and Cedric smiled at me again. If anything goes wrong I'll know, I'll be watching closely.

***

The four champions were gathered around in a room an hour before the third task was to start. I was hoping the tournament would be canceled following the death of Barty Crouch but it continued. Cedric's dad was by Cedric's side, Igor Kakaroff by Viktor's and I stood by Fleur. I was wearing a Beauxbatons uniform since I would be supporting Fleur who was from Beauxbatons.

"Evelyn" Harry walked up towards me, "Snape said something about poly juice potion, Moaning Myrtle too. Someone has been using it around the school"

I raised my eyebrows surprised, could this be a coincidence? Even so, using the poly juice potion is strictly prohibited at Hogwarts. Someone was up to no good.

"I'll look into it Harry," I walked close towards him and gave him a hug, "Stay safe Harry. Remember, everyone, even Dumbledore is watching over you guys. If anything happens I'll be there"

Music started to play from outside the room and everyone lined up to walk outside. Cedric's dad was the first to go out skipping, he was a bright man just like Cedric. Soon, Cedric walked out followed by Viktor and Igor, then Fleur and I, then Harry and Dumbledore.

Everyone was cheering for us as we all stood on the field. The beauxbatons girls were doing some sort of dance to cheer for Fleur.

"Silence!" The crowd got quiet as Dumbledore spoke, "Earlier today, Profesor Moody has placed the tri-wizard cup deep within the maze. Only he knows it's exact location. Now as, Mr. Diggory and Mr. Potter tied for first place, they'll be first to enter the maze, followed by Mr Krum, and Miss Clermont. First person to touch the cup, will be the winner!" The crowd roared. I watched Moody make his out of the maze eyeing Harry and then me.

"At any point when the contestant wishes to withdraw from the task, he or she will need to send out red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather around. Quickly!" Dumbledore motioned the contestants to gather around him. The four champions and Dumbledore gathered up in a very small group away from everyone.

"Champions, prepare yourselves!" Dumbledore motioned Cedric and Harry to stand at the entrance of the maze while Fleur walked beside me holding my hand tight. Cedric's dad pulled him into a tight hug, he was very fond of his son.

"On the count of three, One-" Dumbledore was interrupted by a large sound of a cannon followed by music. Harry and Cedric slowly started to walk into the maze as the entrance of the maze closed by itself.

"Remember Fleur, get out as soon as possible" I whispered before walking off the field and on to the stands. I sat next to Ron and Hermione who watched the maze anxiously. A few more minutes passes and soon Fleur and Viktor both headed into the maze.

The crowd filled with chatters and I didn't take my eyes off of the maze. It's walls were made of very tall hedges and I could barely see past the entrance but I didn't dare look away. Just in case something went inside and no one noticed, just in case something walks out that's not one of the champions. Suddenly, my attention was drawn to a red light that flew up to the sky then into a firework. I grabbed Hermione's hand tightly feeling my breaths get thinner. A group of people flew over the maze quickly flying to where the light had been shot and returned to carry Fleur.

"FLEUR!" I called out running down to the field and at her. She held on to my arms tight trembling and looked up at me.

"Krum, He's under the imperious curse" Fleur whispered to me in french. My eyes widened, someone was inside the maze right now but who? I quickly looked around at the teachers, everyone was there, including Igor Kakaroff, but Moody. Moody was nowhere to be seen.

"He attacked me but not Harry. I saw him walk away when he saw Harry" Fleur continued. Whoever was performing the curse on Viktor, Moody or not, wasn't trying to harm Harry. I helped Fleur up and sat her down with the rest of the Beauxbatons girls and headed to sit next to Hermione again.

"Viktor Krum is under the imperious curse" I whispered to Hermione.

"Are you serious? But who would do that?"

"I don't know Hermione, whoever it was wants Harry to win"

"The third task is to Harry'a favor, the attacker wants Harry to win, but why?"

"Again, I don't know but Professor Moody is gone, he's nowhere to be seen"

She didn't reply, instead just stared at the maze anxiously like me. My heart started to beat faster, Harry was safe but what about Cedric? I could barely remain seated. The rush of anxiety was surreal and nothing had happened, nothing made a sound. What was going on inside the maze?

Half an hour had passed since Fleur was back and another red light shot up into the sky. A search party quickly flew in and came out with Viktor. Hermione and I quickly got out of our seats and rushed toward him pushing away the Drumstrang boys.

"Viktor, who was it that cursed you?" Hermione said kneeling down beside him and placing both of her hands on his shoulders. Viktor stared at her for a second, his face was so numb, emotionless.

"The man with a fake eye" He muttered in a thick Bulgarian accent. It was Mad-eye Moody. Hermione and I looked at each other before heading back to our seats. We barely made it back when Harry appeared from the air along with Cedric. Hermione and I turned back in relief as the music started to play.

Harry was hurdled up over Cedric who was laying down on the field, sadly, not letting go of his body. Something was wrong, Cedric wasn't moving and Harry continued to cry. I walked up a little closer until I could see Cedric's face, lifeless. His eyes were open but the colors were gone, he was dead. My head started to hurt and the world started to spin as I let out a cold scream. I quickly tried to run over to his dead body when Hermione pulled me back.

All the adults started to rush to the two of them and the music stopped playing. My legs felt weird and I collapsed onto the floor shaking. Hermione's arms were tight around me as I struggled to breath, tears were falling from my eyes uncontrollably.

"HE'S BACK- He's back, Voldemort's back" Harry yelled out, "Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him, not there"

The tri-wizard cup, it was a portkey. They went outside of the maze together, they weren't in the maze when it had happened. I should've known, if I had figured things out earlier he could've been alive. Portkey, Moody was placed the cup inside the maze, he cursed Viktor too.

"Let me through" Cedric's dad came shoving the crowd out his way, "Let me through!" He ran down the field brushing past me and to Cedric's dead body.

"THAT'S MY SON! THAT'S MY BOY!" He knelt over Cedric's body shaking him making his head turn to mine. His lifeless eyes met mine, the smile on his face was gone. His face was stiff, there was no color.

"I told you so" I whispered before looking away crying into Hermione's shoulders. I was gasping for air grabbing on to her jacket sobbing, Mr. Diggory's scrams of agony echoed through the air.

"I told you so" I whispered again.

A number of black mist appeared from the sky and landed on the ground taking form of a person. They were all wearing masks and they surrounded Voldemort, Cedric's lifeless body laying in the ground.

"Welcome my friends" Voldemort said looking around at all the people, "13 years it's been and yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess to myself.. disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me, Crabbe!" He ripped off a man's mask which faded away into the air as a black mist. The man groaned and fell on his knees.

"Macnair! Goyle!" He contiene to rip off the masks of two people before pausing and walking towards another, "Not even you, Lucius" He ripped off the man's mask to reveal Lucius Malfoy, Draco's dad.

"My lord, if I had detected any sign-"

"There were many signs my silvery friend, one that even our newest friend-" He walked over to another person, "Apolline" He tore off the mask of a very beautiful woman. Her (Y/E/C) was very similar to Evelyn's. Now to come to think of it, she looked a lot like Evelyn.

"My lord" She smirked at Voldemort who looked at her pleasingly.

"Apolline, my dear. I heard your daughter fell in love with a boy, Harry Potter. She's very special to him isn't she?"

"Yes my lord, the two have been friends ever since she had first went to Hogwarts" I immediately knew who they were talking about, Evelyn. The woman standing beside Cedric's dead body smirking at Voldemort was Evelyn's mother.

"I'd like to meet her" He said grinning.
