"Avada kedavra"

"Expelliarmus"

Two beams of spell light shot towards each other and collided resulting in a golden rope like light connecting the two wands. The combatants, a red-eyed snake faced man and a small scrawny black haired youth rose from where they stood and landed in a different part of the cemetery, a place void of all tombstones. A beautiful sound fills the air as thousands more golden rope lights spit from the midpoint and form a web like dome around them. Death Eaters ran after them. Their black robes trail along behind while their eyes shine from behind the skull masks they all wore.

Dots of colored lights travel back and forth along the initial role light. When one draws near one of the wands it starts to vibrate uncontrollably.

The snake faced man, Voldemort, emits an ear splitting scream as one of the dots is forced towards his wand forcing apparitions to appear.

Apparition after apparition were ejected from his wand. First comes a man in his late teens, cedric, followed almost instantly by a youngish woman in her mid-30's and finally a pair almost simultaneously. The woman with red hair, the man with unruly black hair.

"Mom? Dad?"

"Oh Harry! It is so good to see you baby."

"Hello son. Long time no see."

"What is this?! This some kind of trick Potter! It won't work!"

"l'm as surprised as you are Riddle."

"Don't say the useless piece of muggle filths name"

"Really? I thought it was a good name. Suits you. You are a mystery to some. Fitting name don't you think?"

"I'm going to kill you Potter!"

"Good luck with that. You've been trying to for 14 years now. Hasn't worked yet."

While this banter was going on the apparitions patrolled along the perimeter of the web keeping the Death Eaters out.

"Son. Listen. When we say you need to break the connection. No listen." James said forcibly when Harry went to argue. "Everything will be alright. We can only stall him for a little while. You need to run for the cup and get out of here."

"I can't leave you. I only just met you"

"We aren't real. Baby. Only an illusion of sorts. We are powered by the connection you two are doing. Once it's broken we can only last just a couple minutes. Then we will fade away."

"No! I can't leave you again."

"Harry. Listen to them. Neither of you can last much longer as it is. Harry before you leave please bring my body back to Hogwarts."

"Fine!"

"Now son! Break it now!"

Harry gave a jerk of his want breaking the connection. The apparitions swarmed towards Voldemort while the Death Eaters just stood there stunned. Harry ran Cedric's body, summoned the tri-wizard cup and vanished in flash of light.

"Good bye my lovely child. Stay safe."


Back at the maze of the third task the students of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang along with the staff of the schools and parents of the participants sat waiting. A flash of light indicates the arrival of the winner. The band starts playing only to stop seconds later to a loud scream. The tri-wizard rolls away from cedric's body. The spectators stand in shock. Foliage rustles as Fleur and Victor exit the maze.

"What has happened?"

"Who is that?"

"SILENCE! EVERYONE REMAIN SITTING!"

"Dumbledore? What has happened? Why is diggory laying there and where is Potter? He should have exited with the other two."

"I do not know Cornelius. Perhaps Mr. Krum or Miss Delacour know" with a gesture the two walk towards the headmasters and headmistress of the schools and the Great Britain Minister for Magic.

"Mr. Krum, Miss. Delacour. Do you have any explanation for what has happened here?"

"Non professor. We all reached the center at around the same time. Only arry and cedric were there first. Both touched ze trophy at the same time and simply vanished. Shortly zer after ze maze shifted and we were able to walk right out."

"Mr. Krum?"

"Same as she said. Ve veached the center, Potter and Diggory vanished. zen ve walked back."

"Strange."

"Moody! Anything?"

"Sorry Dumbledore. Nothing. If I had to say what happened would have to be the killing curse. Can rule out the burns. Aren't severe enough to be the cause. Hagrid's Skrewts aren't ones to leave anything behind if they did kill."

"Thank you Alastor."

"Dumbledore what do we say to the audience. Who wins?"

"We must discuss this in private. Let us all go to my office. We will officially announce the outcome tomorrow at dinner. Agreed?"

"I agree Dumbly-dorr"

"Agreed"

"Fine. Seems I have no choice here."

"We all have a choice minister."

"Sonorous. Can I have your attention please? Thank you. In light of recent events the announcing of the winner of the Tri-Wizard tournament will be postponed to tomorrow evening. At the time a full explanation will be given as well as the winner of the tournament. Good night to you all."

Professors Dumbledore and Karkarof, Madam Maxime, minister fudge, and Ludo bagman made their way through the crowd, into Hogwarts and up to the headmaster's office

"This is an outrage! How could this have happened?"

"I have my suspicions Cornelius. Each more unlikely than the next."

"Well both Krum and Delacour have both told the same. Harry and Cedric touched the cup at the same time. With Diggory dead, though how is unknown, the winner has to be Mr. Potter."

"But he never came back. Where could ze be dumbly-dorr. ze can not simply have vanished? Can he?"

"I do not know madam."

"Whatever the case we are agreed the Mr. Potter had won the tournament, yes?"

It seems so Cornelius. It seems so."

"Excellent. We will tell everyone tomorrow that Mr. Potter has won the tournament, the prize money will be deposited into his vaults and that it seems that in the process of returning had vanished but a search is underway. Yes? Excellent. I'll see you all tomorrow gentlemen, lady."

Before fudge could leave Dumbledore called out. "Hold on Mr. Fudge. May I have a word privately please?"

"Whatever for Dumbledore."

"Please fudge it is important."

"Oh very well. If you all would excuse us please. Thank you. Ok Albus what is this about?"

"I believe that Mr. Potter disappearing this night is no accident."

"Oh come on Albus not this again"

"Yes this. You can not ignore the signs any longer. Voldemort has returned"

"No he hasn't Dumbledore. Young mister Potter killed him that Halloween14 years ago. End of discussion! I will have no further part in this discussion. Good evening."
