"Both of us," Harry said.

"What?"

"We'll take it at the same time. It's still a Hogwarts victory. We'll tie for it. "

Cedric stared at Harry. He unfolded his arms.

"You - you sure?"

"Yeah," said Harry. "Yeah. . . we've helped each other out, haven't we? We both got here. Let's just take it together. "

For a moment, Cedric looked as though he couldn't believe his ears; then his face split in a grin.

"You're on," he said. "Come here. "

He grabbed Harry's arm below the shoulder and helped Harry limp toward the plinth where the cup stood. When they had reached it, they both held a hand out over one of the cup's gleaming handles.

"On three, right?" said Harry. "One - two - three -"

"You win Harry"

Before he understood what Cedric just had said he grasped the handle.

Instantly, Harry felt a jerk somewhere behind his navel. His feet had left the ground. He could not unclench the hand holding the Triwizard Cup; it was pulling him onward in a howl of wind and swirling color.

Cedric saw how Harry disappeared as he took the Cup.

"So it was a portkey, that make sense"

Cedric lifted his wand and shot up red sparks and waited to for a teacher to lead him out.

In the stands Hermione sat whit Ron, the Twins, Ginny, Mrs Weasley and Bill whit allot of fellow Gryffindors around them, she could barley breathe both Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum had been taken out of the maze but Harry was still in there, suddenly she could se red sparks coming out of the Maze.

"Look sparks, do you recon it is Harry or Cedric" asked Ron staring intently at the maze as if he could see through it like Moody's magical eye.

"Cedric" Said Neville sitting a row above them. "Harry got this!"

The stands had quiet down quite a bit waiting to see who would be lead out of the Maze.

After a few minutes they could see Cedric walking out of the Maze, it was a bit strange he did not look like he was hurt from that distance, had he just given up? Hermione did not know Cedric that well but it did not sound like him.

"I, I knew it" squeaked Neville.

"You owe me a galleon Fred!" Said George

"You bet against Harry!?" exclaimed Ginny towards Fred

"No, no! I bet Harry would win whit least one other champion in the maze." Fred answered whit a smile.

Hermione could hear Mrs Weasly telling the twins of for betting on this kinds of things but she had stopped listening she wondered where Harry was, if the other champions were gone he could now take the win. She could see that Cedric was talking to professor Sprout, McGonagall and Dumbeldore who looked a bit.. worried?

In an graveyard far away Harry found himself in front of the dark lord reborn, he was sure that he was dead but somehow his Expelliarmus has connected whit the Killing Curse. Golden threads had sprung out all around them and Harry could see ghostly shadows two of them being his Parents. They would hold Voldemort back giving Harry time to get to the cup and potkey out of there.

"NOW!" Harry let go of the spell and started to run, hearing Voldemort screams behind him he was almost at the port key as he heard the voice of Lucius Malfoy.

"Avada Kedavra"

It had been over half an hour after Cedric had come out and still Harry was nowhere to be seen, Professor Mcgongall had ordered all students back to the common rooms. It had resulted in allot of murmurs before McGonagall had told them once more more strictly.

Ignoring this Hermione and the Weasleys run towards her and Dumbeldore to ask what was happening.

"Professor!" Hermione yelled out towards them "What is happening, where is Harry!"

"Miss Granger! You need to get back to the common room now" her voice was strict but Hermione could see the worry in her eyes.

"But.." Started Hermione before she was interrupted by McGonagall.

"No butts Miss Granger, you need to go back to the castle.. you will told when we have more to tell. Molly take them back to the Gryffindor common room and then I want you and Bill to join us in the Headmasters office."

Mrs Weasley nodded and whit a few stares stopped any complaints, she looked like she was about to break. Mrs Weasley led her kids and Hermione to the Gryffindor common room and made them swear not to sneak out before she and Bill walked away towards the Headmasters office.

The silence was thick and unbearable but still nobody seamed to want o break it, Hermione sat cuddled up to Ron on a large armchair, any other time it would have been quite awkward but whit the circumstances she was just happy to have somebody to hold, around the room she just saw gloom and worried faces, even the Twins looked lost sitting on a sofa comforting Ginny who sat there between them hugging her knees to her chest. She could also see Neville sitting whit Seamus and Dean looking more lost then she ever seen him.

"He will be back" Ron's grumbling voice woke Hermione up from her trance. "He will be back here soon enough after being on his grand adventure." Hermione was about to snap at Ron for complaining like that when she saw his eyes, it looked like he was about to cry.

"I am worried too Ron."

A/N: This is part of one of two stories I have been thinking about while working a night shift. This is the first time I write in years so I hope I will be able to improve.
This is mostly a proof of concept to see if I can get my thoughts on 'paper'
I had to get it out but allot of details was lost in the way. In any case I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2 is mostly ready but did not have time to put on the finishing touches before I had to leave for work.
I was stunned to find I had some reviews who wanted the next part, I am happy you liked it and hope you like the next part that it out soon.
