Part 1

-

"Avada Kedavra!" A green bolt of energy shot toward Cedric.

"Cedric!" Harry tackled him to the ground, his body engulfed in green light.

Cedric jumped to his feet, heart pumping. "Expeliarmus!" He sent Petrigrew's wand flying before turning back to Harry. He was bleeding from his stomach, but still breathing. "Accio Portkey!" The triwizard cup flew to him sending the two young wizards away.

"No!" Voldemort cursed. "Wormtail! How dare you! Potter was mine to kill! And now I'm stuck in this state."

"My lord. Please, hold on a moment. Perhaps we can still perform the ritual." Pettrigrew walked over to the place where Harry had been lying. The grass was stained with red. "Yes. His blood is still on the ground."

Voldemort was silent for a few moments. "Fine. Restore me then and summon the other death eaters. And perhaps I will show you mercy."

Part2

-

Cedric and Harry appeared in front of the maze. Music boomed and cheers filled the air as Cedric stood up. But they stopped when Harry lay there. Cedric ran toward Professor Dumbledore. "Sir, we need to get Harry to the hospital wing now!"

Ron and Hermione rushed over to Harry, but Dumbledore waved them off. "No give him room. I'll take him myself." He flicked his wand gently lifting Harry into the air and rushed off.

Ron ran up to Cedric punching him. "What did you do to him!?" Amos ran up but Cedric waved him off.

Cedric reeled looking at Ron, too shocked to respond. He just stared at Ron confused. "What did I-" Cedric shook his head. "Nothing I just. Hold on a second." He sat down holding his bloody nose. "That really stings."

Hermione held Ron back as he yelled trying to draw his wand. "What happened!?"

Cedric sat there for a moment.Everyone had gone silent. "I-I think Harry got hit by the killing curse." Cedric held his chest. "One that should've hit me."

Professor Snape walked over. "That's enough Weasley. Unless you want to spend the rest of the year in detention." He looked Cedric calmly. "Mr. Diggory. I have half to send you to detention as well. So I suggest you not test my patience. What, exactly, happened?"

"I don't know. The cup's a port key, it sent us to some sort of graveyard. Then some fat ugly nut job tried to kill me." Cedric thought for a few moments. "What did he say, kill the spare? No, it was a different voice. There was someone else. It kind of looked like he was being carried."

Snape raised an eyebrow. "Is that all?"

"I think so." Cedric sat there for a moment before his eyes grew wide. "Holy shit. Harry just survived the killing curse."

Professor Moody stepped between the two. "Snape, I doubt he'll be able to give you answers right now. I think the kid needs some rest. Whatever this is, it can wait until morning."

"Perhaps." Snape eyed Moody, with a hint of suspicion. He turned away.

Cedric looked at Ron and Hermione. "If you talk to Harry before I do, tell him I said thanks."

The rage had left Ron's eyes. "Right." He and Hermione ran off to the hospital wing.

When they got there, the entry doors were closed. Professor Dumbledore stood in front of the doors. Hermione walked up to him. "Professor is he"

"He'll live Hermione. But he shouldn't be disturbed. For the time being, the hospital wing is closed to visitors. Madam Pomfrey needs to be able to focus." Dumbledore sighed. "Perhaps you two should get some rest."

"What!? We have to see Harry! He just got hit by the killing curse!" Ron said.

For a moment Dumbledore looked startled, then sighed. "Precisely the reason you can't enter." He winked smiling. "Don't worry, Madam Pomfrey will have him good as new before you know it. After all survived it before" He walked down the hall.

Soon a crowd of students came down the hallway shouting. "Hey. How's Harry?"

"Yeah, what's going on in there? Why are you two waiting outside the hospital wing?"

A few students tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. A few students cast Alohomora, but the doors didn't unlock. Soon the crowd started to go away as more and more people realized they couldn't get in. Hermione sighed looking as everyone clearing out. "I guess we should head back to the common room for now."

Ron grimaced. "I know. I just." He clenched his fist, then sighed and started walking. His footsteps rang across the ground as he walked.

Silence filled the empty hallway. Then footsteps made their way toward the hospital wing. Professor Moody walked toward the hospital wing. He looked around to make sure no one was looking, and pulled out his wand.

Part 3

-

Cedric sat in the Hufflepuff common room. He held a pack of ice to his nose leaning back into a couch with a badger logo.

A girl with straight black hair sat in front of him. "Episkey!" She waved her wand setting fixing Cedric's nose.

Cedric sighed. "Ah, that's a lot better. Thanks Max."

"No prob golden boy. Now get some rest will you? And you look worse than after flew into that goal post." Max stood up.

"Hey, that one was your fault."

"Well, you shouldn't have let me distract you." She laughed. "Anyway. Cho asked me to make sure you get some sleep."

"Yeah." He sat there blinking.

Then he heard a familiar voice. "Hey Cedric. I got some biscuits from the kitchens. You want one?" Cedric opened his eyes to see a short, skinny boy with wild red hair giving him a goofy grin.

"Uh, yeah thanks." The boy threw Cedric a piece of bread with a mixture of gold, white, and brown colors. Cedric caught it chuckling. "You know Tim. One of these days you're gonna get in trouble for sneaking in there."

"Eh. No one's caught me so far. Though I gotta admit Snape's gotten pretty close." Tim stuffed a biscuit swallowing it whole. He sat down in a chair. "So. About the triwizard cup."

"Look, can this wait till morning?" He sighed trying to sleep.

"But, you said Harry got hit by the killing curse right? I mean, that kills people right?" Tim bounced in his seat. "Come on Cedric. Why would someone try to kill him?"

"I don't know." Cedric started thumbing the couch.

"And what's a port key?" Tim was shaking with a mixture of excitement, fear, and curiosity.

"It's an item you can use to travel. But the cup sent us to the wrong place. Which means..." Cedric stood up. "Oh no. This is bad."

"What?" Tim looked at him confused.

"I gotta go." Cedric ran out of the common room as fast as he could.

"Wait, where are you going!?" Tim yelled after him.

Cedric sprinted through the castle heading for the hospital wing. He passed Filch knocking him over. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?"

"Sorry!" Cedric kept running.

Filch shook his fists. "You're dead when I get my hand on you Diggory! Dead!"

Soon Cedric was at the hospital wing. He knelt over ready to collapse looking at the doors. They were cracked open and he heard talking on the other side.

Madam Pomfrey's voice came out. "Ah Professor Moody. Sorry about calling you. I thought an experienced auror would be helpful with an unforgivable curse. But it looks like Potter just needs some rest."

"Oh not a problem. I'm happy to kill you! Avada Kedavra!" A green light shone in through the opening.

Cedric drew his wand bursting through the door. "Expelliarmus!"

Moody's wand went flying. He looked at Cedric gasping. "Diggory!"

Cedric glared at Moody, then glanced at Madam Pomfrey lying on the floor. He turned back to Moody who's eye patch loosened as his face changed. He body morphed and slimmed. His hair turned darker. When the transformation was complete, Barty Crouch Jr. stood in the middle of the hospital wing.

"Who are you!?" Cedric kept his wand raised.

"You won't live long enough to find out." Crouch dove across a bed.

"Petrificus totalus!" Cedric fired, but couldn't hit Crouch.

After a few shots Crouch got back up with his wand aiming at Cedric. "Bombarda!"

"Protego!" Cedric shouted running in front of Harry's bed.

An explosion hit the ground sending objects flying, but they just hit off Cedric's shield. Crouch lifted his wand sending knives at Cedric from behind. He dodged, but one cut his hand.

His wand went flying. Crouch smiled. "Bombarda!"

The explosion stopped as Mcgonnagle entered the hospital wing holding her wand. Crouch stared at her shock running across his face. Then he jumped through the window next to him.

Mcgonnagle ran to the window to see Crouch flying off on a broom. She turned back walking around the hospital wing to make sure everyone was all right.

She checked Madam Pomfrey for a pulse, then turned to Cedric. He shook his head. "She got hit by the killing curse.

"Mr. Diggory. What happened here?"

"I don't know. Professor Moody came in, killed Madam Pomfrey, and turned into that guy." His hands shook violently as he held a gash on his hand.

"And then tried to kill you." Mcgonnagle sighed. "I suppose it's a good thing you were here."

"Yeah. I think he was after Harry." Cedric's breath slowed down. "I think that guy replaced Professor Moody."

"Uh, would you please put your hand out?"

"Huh?" Cedric looked at his hand. Then laughed. "Oh right." He put out his bleeding hand.

"Episkey." Mcgonnagle waved her wand closing Cedric's hand closed. Mcgonnagle started walking away. "I'll inform the headmaster of what's going on. For now I need you to stay here."

"Right," Cedric gave her a thumbs up and sat on an empty bed.

Professor Mcgonnagle walked through the doors and saw Victor Krum walking down the hall. A few dozen Durmstrang students were following him. He glared at Mcgonnagle tears welling in his eyes. "Where have you Hogwarts teachers been!? Our headmaster's just been killed!"

"What!?" Mcgonnagle's eyes went wide. "That's impossible…unless..."

"Unless what?" A Bulgarian man with a black buzz cut walked up to her, a Durmstrang professor. His face was red with rage. "We were told this school was safe! Where is Dumbledore? I need to speak with him immediately."

"He's been looking for Professor Moody, along with the other teachers." She looked back at Cedric, then turned back to the Durmstrang teacher. "I'll see if I can find him."

The Durmstrang professor cursed under his breath looking at his students. "Everyone is to pack up immediately. We leave as soon as everyone is on board the ship." He then faced Krum. "I'll be going with Mcgonnagle to find Dumbledore. Can you take care of things for now?"

Krum nodded. "Yes sir. I'll keep everyone safe until you get on the ship." Krum turned away, heading down the hallway, followed by the rest of the students.

Mcgonnagle and the Durmstrang professor went in the other direction. Disappearing into the darkness of the castle.
