Prologue: The Graveyard
We landed on the ground with a hard blow. Neither of us was expecting to be whisked, at the mercy of god knows who, and off to god knows where. Reluctantly I picked myself up and brushed some of the dirt of my pants.
"Harry" I managed to let out. "Where the hell are we?"
"Dunno" he replied crawling around in search of his glasses. Once he found them he stood up.
Then to my horror I realized, though not to all extents, where we were. "Harry…" I started but he cut me off.
"I've been here before, or well I was here in a dream." He was shaking his head in worry. "Cedric we have to get out of here." His hand was on something, a grave stone. I walked over to where he was standing, and read.
Tom Marvalo Riddle
"Well Harry, I'd have to agree with you but where is the cup?" Harry shrugged. I looked around but it was no where in visible sight.
"Hello Potter" growled a familiar voice. Harry and I spun around, and there in front of us was Wormtail.
"Kill the spare" rasped another all too familiar voice.
"Yes Master"
My eyes widened because Wormtail's wand was pointed at me. I ran quickly into the dark hiding behind a boulder.
"You insolent fool." The voice rasped again. "You let him get away. Well no matter he's not the important thing anyway. Get the boy."
Wormtail turned and grabbed Harry's arm. Harry struggled and tried to get away but with no luck. Wormtail pushed him onto some sort of structure with a what looked like a grim reaper on it. Harry was trapped behind the reaper's long poled weapon. Suddenly I felt another presence with me.
"I was starting to get worried about you." To my great relief it was Faye.
"Boy am I glad to see you." I whispered.
"What's going on" She asked looking around. Her eyes stopped on Harry. In the distance we could hear Wormtail finishing the ritual to bring back his master.
"…Blood of the enemy forcibly taken. You will resurrect your foe." Wormtail finished by holding out Harry's arm and drawing blood with a long knife. After which he dropped the bundle he had been carrying into the pot.
"We should get outta here." Faye suggested nudging my arm fervently.
I shook my head. "No. We can't leave Harry here to fend for him self." Faye gave me a quizzical look.
"He's gotten out of tougher scrapes than this, on his own completely none the less. For god's sake Cedric he battled a dragon, even after it freed it self from it's chain." She angrily whispered.
"No it's about to get much worse." I shook my head. "And I owe him one. He saved my life in the maze." I wasn't completely sure of what I was saying but it sounded right so I kept talking. "I owe him my life."
Faye looked from me, to Harry, to me, and back to Harry, and sighed. "Fine we'll save Harry first then go back"
I smiled at her. "Thank you" She rolled her eyes. She was the first to leave the safety of the boulder. She army crawled over to a weeping willow and stood up, then motioned for me to follow. Half of the way over I was discovered.
"Get him" Screamed the newly made dark lord. Suddenly I had all the death eaters on my tail. They all stood in a pack in front of me, as if trying to look even more threatening. In a flash of pink light Faye stood in front of me facing the death eaters with what I knew had to be a mean look in her eyes. The death eaters had a good laugh at what they thought a mere little girl in front of them. They continued to laugh until she knocked half of them off their feet and backwards in the direction they had come in. The other half immediately grew silent.
"Not so funny now is it?" She shrieked at them. They ones who were left ran in the direction the rest of them had been flung in. "That's right you run away. That'll teach you to mess with my Cedric." I could almost kiss her right there. Did that mean she took me back?
"Cowards" Voldemort voiced, his anger rising. He was forced to turn his attentions away from Harry. "You" he glared at Faye, slowly but menacingly approaching us.
Faye realizing the gravity of the situation turned her head and planted one right on my lips. "I love you. Don't ever forget that, but Cedric I need you to get Harry and go back to Hogwarts." I was stunned, but as she asked I headed over to Harry, Voldemort barely glancing at me. His main focus had obviously been shifted.
"Avada Kadavra!" he said as he flicked his wand in Faye's direction.
"No!" I turned around but the image was much different than I had expected. Faye was holding it back with her hands.
"Go!" she shouted at me but I couldn't turn away. "I mean it now you have to go" There were tears slowly streaming from her eyes. I turned around and released Harry.
"Thanks" Harry said. "Now I think we should take Faye advice and get out of here. I nodded but turning back at her I couldn't leave. I couldn't leave not knowing if she was okay or not.
Faye looked at us realizing what she needed to do. She moved her hands back and than forced them forward, shouting "Go!" as she did so. It wasn't until that moment I realized why she had been so insistent on my leaving. She didn't want me to see her die.
"Faye no!" I shouted at her but it was too late. She had fully pushed her hands forward. This action froze all the death eaters as well as Voldemort, but in doing so she had let go of the green beam of light and it had hit her knocking her backwards flailing. "Faye" I said again, now more of a whisper, tears streaming down the sides of my face. I ran over to her but I was not ready for the sight I saw. I doubled over in pain as I saw her pale, motion less body.
"Cedric, we have to go" Harry had followed me over to Faye. "We have no idea how long the freeze will last." I nodded and picked her up. Harry grabbed my arm and then "Accio" got the cup. We were off in a flurry of lights.
I woke with a start to find I was still safe and sound in my bed. Sweat was pooling all around me. To my relief Faye was right next to me, her arm resting on my chest. I let out a sigh but my pulse didn't slow.
