After the enconter with Voldemort in the grave yard, Harry successfully returned to Hogwarts, but to a terrible ending. Cedric was dead, and a long battle was waiting for him.
Millions of miles away, somewhere in Asia, a young girl was drinking tea with her friend. when suddenly she stopped and look out the window looking surprise.
"Maria?" Her friend, who appears younger than her, called her in a concern.
"It's has started," the young girl called Maria simple said, while tucking her long black hair behind her ear, and cast down her jade green eyes, looking into her cup.
"Yes, it has," a male voice suddenly echoed behind the friend. The friend turned around and saw a man's spirit floating beside her.
"Cedric!" The friend called out excitedly. She was surprised to see the soul of Cedric Diggory. But it did clear some things up for her.
"Hello Gabriella," Cedric greeted the friend, and turned his attention to Maria. "It's good to see you again old friend."
Maria smiled sadly, " I would like to say the same, but with you here, it means something bad is going to happen."
Cedric chuckled, "Admit it, you're just lazy to work." Maria just smiled at his comment.
Gabriella coughed to remind them that she was there too. "Anyway," she said, "since you're here, you better go and find my brother. He has prepared an artificial body for you."
Cedric pouted, "Must I?"
Gabriella playfully tease him, "I know being a ghost is fun, unless you wish to be reincarnate at such a crisis, I would suggest you possess the body."
"Alright," Cedric sighted, and he suddenly disappeared as he appeared a few minutes ago.
After he was gone, Gabriella turned her attention towards Maria. "So when are you leaving?"
"A few weeks before classes begin," Maria replied after sipping her tea.
"Must you?" Gabriella pouted her mouth, while showing the most sorrowful look, "it won't be much fun without you around the school."
"I think you'll survive," Maria laughed, "it's after all time to meet my twin brother."
