What should have been

The moment their hands touched the cup Harry felt a surge behind his navel and two seconds later they stood in the small arena which had been set up for the audience. A roar started when people saw them.

"IT'S DIGGORY AND POTTER! VICTORY FOR HOGWARTS!"

Cho came running towards them and kissed Cedric, for the first time ever since he learned they were dating Harry didn't feel a surge of jealousy by seeing them together. How was it ever possible to be jealous in such a moment?

A ceremony was held in the great all, dressed for the occasion in the house colours; red and golden for Gryffindor and yellow and black for Hufflepuff. A colour combination Harry made a mental note to tell Dumbledore wasn't too lucky.

"Let's all give a big applause to the Threewizard champions; Cedric Amos Diggory and Harry James Potter from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

The hall practically exploded. Harry felt it as though he was being lifted high above everybody, soaring up through the magical ceiling.

And waking up in his bed remembering. It had been a dream. Cedric was gone. Voldemort back.
