This is my first and only
Harry Potter fanfic. I have not read the books, nor do I intend to. I
simply watched The Goblet Of Fire with my mother, because she wanted
to see Robert Pattinson (as did I).
Pardon
me if I get any facts incorrect.
And I
know this is very OOC and not the real plot at all, but I was upset
that Cedric died (though RPattz did very well with the acting) and I
thought it should have been Harry instead. After all, he DID consider
leaving Cedric to die, and Cedric is way hotter, and Cedric's death
was Harry's bloody fault!!!!!
So this is
just me editing the story to please myself, showing definite
preference for characters. xD
I know
you'll hate it but please, no flames. I don't care how bad and
different it is.
No POV
That bloody Cedric better stop
pushing me, now. I saw the opening to the Goblet first and I intend
to get there! I will win this tournament and no one can stand in my
way! Harry's selfish thoughts pushed his legs faster as he and
Cedric raced for the Goblet, each one intending to be the first to
reach it. Cedric always stayed a few footfalls in front of Harry, for
his legs were stronger, longer, and faster. Harry knew it would be
best to give up, but he was a selfish boy and he wanted to win. After
all, he had not worked so hard at the other events merely to lose
now, now when he was so close.
Suddenly, Cedric was no longer in
the way of Harry and the Goblet. Yes! It shall be mine now. Poor
little weak Cedric could not keep up with the likes of a wizard like
me and now I shall take the Goblet, win this Triwizard Tournament
once and for all!
"Harry!" Cedric cried as the brush of
the maze pulled at his legs, dragging him across the ground farther
away from the Goblet and his wand and closer into the depths of the
bushes. Cedric's hand scratched helplessly at the dirt as he tried
to reach his wand and keep from getting lost in the forests of the
maze, possibly forever.
"Harry!" He yelled again, not caring
if he won the Goblet, but not wanting to die. His father would be
very upset, for Cedric was all Amos had left. Come on, Harry,
don't be a selfish fool now. I helped you, I thought we were
friends. Don't let me die, please! I'll let you get the Goblet,
just don't let this thing take me! Cedric couldn't help but
plead with Harry in his mind, even though he knew it was worthless.
Even if Harry could hear him, he wouldn't stop; he was just a
selfish and cruel boy. Maybe if Cedric hadn't asked Cho Chang to
the ball, maybe then Harry wouldn't be ignoring him and leaving him
to face his death now.
Harry stopped and looked back at Cedric as
he struggled to reach his wand. But the Goblet stood a few feet from
where he was standing. How could he just give up his chance at
winning? After all, Cedric brought this onto himself. And if he
couldn't reach his wand, well that was his own bloody fault.
Perhaps he would learn to get a better hold of it next time. But
could Harry really just ignore a friend and let him die? Even to win
the most prestigious wizard tournament ever? The Goblet was
important, and maybe if he won, Cho Chang would like him instead of
this rubbish fool about to die due to his own bloody clumsiness. What
would his friends think of him if he let Cedric die?
Harry sighed
and glanced at the Goblet once more before turning around to face
Cedric. If he makes a dash for the Goblet as soon as I free him,
I swear I'll kill him myself.
Harry grabbed Cedric's
hand and pulled him away from the clawing brush, helping him to stand
upright once more. His eyes watched wearily, waiting for Cedric to
run to the Goblet. Instead, Cedric smiled at Harry.
"Thanks."
Harry couldn't help but smile back; perhaps he had done the right
thing after all, now he could win the Goblet and say that he
had selflessly saved another man's life as well. (Another man
that was older, taller, and stronger than him. Heh, not so manly now,
are you Cedric?)
Suddenly, Cedric was telling Harry to go
take the Goblet since he saved his life. Harry was a bit shocked that
Cedric would have had enough nobility to offer such a thing, but he
supposed Cedric knew that Harry deserved it rightfully. Anyone blind
fool could see that. Yes, I will take the Goblet. I deserve it,
after putting myself through all of this when I did not even place my
name in the Goblet. None of the other contestants had as hard of a
time as I did, so the Goblet should most definitely be mine. After
all, I had save Cedric's life. Once I am the winner, perhaps Cho
Chang will like me. Yes. Harry narrowed his eyes and turned to
run after the Goblet, counting on Cedric not taking back his offer.
That would be a very foolish thing to do, for sure.
Cedric watched
Harry run after the Goblet and followed slowly, not to try and take
his victory away from him, but to escape the maze before the bush
grabbed at his feet again. As soon as Harry grabbed the Goblet, it
transported him elsewhere. Cedric stared at the spot where they had
been sullenly, wondering how he would get out of the maze now.
Harry landed on the ground with a
thump. He looked around the graveyard, realising that he had seen
this place in his dreams. Looking at the Goblet, he wondered why he
was transported here.
A man entered from the shadows of the
graveyard, muttering. The statue Harry was looking at suddenly
trapped him behind its arm as the man dropped a creature swathed in a
blanket into a cauldron. Harry struggled to get free with no avail.
The man muttered some words about sacrifice from a willing servant
and chopped his hand off with a knife, barely even wincing in pain.
He walked over to Harry, saying about taking blood forcefully. The
knife bit into Harry's right arm suddenly, making him cry out in
pain. It was a shallow cut, but it hurt. Blood threatened to drip
from the knife as the man walked over to the cauldron. He finished
words of some sort of spell and dropped Harry's blood into the
mixture. It churned, creating the mist, and out of the mist came Lord
Voldemort. Harry gasped, distracted from the sharp pain in his arm.
Lord Voldemort turned to Harry with an evil grin and started talking.
He basically spoke the villain speech, but Harry wasn't listening.
He was too busy fearing death, just as any coward would. Lord
Voldemort didn't drag it out too long, though. He grew tired of
hearing the boy whimper in fear pretty quickly, and killed him. It
wasn't much of a display, but he took immense pleasure in watching
the life fade from Harry's eyes. If only I had let Cedric take
the Goblet… If I hadn't been such a selfish fool… I don't
deserve this fate that has been brought to me. It should be Cedric
instead. If only I had let him have the Goblet… Harry's last
thoughts were full of selfishness and self-preservation, never mind
that Cedric would be dead had Harry let him take the Goblet. Harry
knew that full well, but he just didn't care. He was a selfish boy,
first wanting to take the Goblet no matter what, and then wishing
Cedric was dying instead of him. You got what you deserve, Harry. You
got what you deserve.
Yes I realise that Harry wouldn't have gotten killed and I realise that this is totally unlike the books or whatever. But I don't care because I've only seen the Goblet Of Fire, and I didn't want Cedric to die so this is my mind rejecting his death. Hate it if you want, I don't care.
Thanks to my lovely beta, Obsessedwithwriting, who told me not to post this because I will be hunted down and killed. I realise that that's a possibility so I use this note as a disclaimer to those who might want to murder me: my beta had nothing to do with it, leave her alone.
And don't worry. I'll stick to Twilight fanfiction from now on.
