I still couldn't believe it, although a coulple a months have passed. It wasn't like I wanted to marry him, and I wasn't really in love with him, but he was a good friend. If only I could've said goodbye. He was nice, he didn't deserve to die.
What had happened that night was still a mystery. I don't think Harry did it, although that's how rumor had it. I really hope that Harry likes me. Cedric went to the dance with me, but only because he asked me. I wanted to go with Harry, but I couldn't ask him, I had to be so embarrased.
He was brave, he asked me, but it was to late.
A new year at Hogwarts, and one of my best friends dead. I know he wouldn't be here this year, but I still could've sent him owls or something.
It was time for the feast. Dumbledore stood at the podium and spoke.
"Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new year at Hogwarts. It is time to begin with the sorting cerimony," he pulled out a long, pointed black hat.
The sorting hat sang its song, which it changed each year.
Dumbledore didn't say a thing about Cedric that day, and I knew that there was only one thing I could do, ask Harry. I didn't want to really, not cause I didn't like Harry, more because I was scared of the truth, and that I would make a fool of myself and make Harry hate me forever.
*******************************************************************
"Harry, I need to talk to you, about, Cedric." I said to him.
"Oh, right. Do you want to know about it, really?" that didn't sound good, but I did.
"Yes, yeah I do," I responded.
"Well, Cedric and I, were together at the maze for a while. We split up every once in a while, but ended up coming back, when finally, we saw it, the cup. It was sitting there, and Cedric was running for it. I saw a huge spider coming towards him and I warned him. He didn't have time to do anything, so I stunned the spider. After that, he wouldn't touch the cup."
I was surprised. I guess it seemed believable so far.
"I didn't want to take it without him, he helped me so much. So I insisted that we both grab it at the same time. That was the big mistake, I'm sorry. If I wouldn't have done that, he wouldn't have been dead. Volde -, sorry,"
"No, that's fine. It's only a name. You've seen him before, you need not to be afraid," although I had never said his name before.
"Okay, thanks. Anyway, Voldemort turned it into a portkey. Cedric and I appeared in a cave. I knew what had happened by then. One of his servants had put my name in there, and made sure that I won the tournament, I guess. All of a sudden, we heard a cold voice, 'kill the spare', it said. Cedric, killed by Voldemort, went the same way as my parents. 'Avada Kadvra!' and Cedric was lying limp, on the ground, motionless. It was terrible, Cedric had been my friend through the whole thing. I never would've gotten through the second task without him."
"So, so, how'd you get back, wait, wasn't Voldemort, ..."
"That's what he wanted me for. He needed my blood to come back to full power."
Harry pulled his sleeve up to show me his scar right by his elbow.
" Another one?"
" He needed blood, he prefered mine. He had all the death eaters back. One of them - Lucius Malfoy."
"I knew Malfoy was evil."
It was kind of a shock, but the Malfoys were always kind of evil.
" And then, he asked me, to have a wizard's duel. I knew that it would be a fight to the daeth this time, my death. He started out, just doing what you normally do in wizard's duel, but then, it changed. He said the words, as a green light came at me. At the same time I did the disarming move, and people started coming out of his wand, starting with Cedric, coming to my partents who told me to get the cup, and it would take me to Hogwarts, and that's what I did."
"So, he's, at full power?"
"Yes. That was it, I left, knowing that I would see him again. I know it's going to be this year. I've seen him every year at Hogwarts, besides my third, which I faced his sercant."
I shruddered, he'd better be careful.
"Harry, he's going to keep showing up until, -" I couldn't say it, I couldn't think it.
"I know," he said. I shouldn't have said it, I was being so inconsiderate.
"Harry, I know it's not your fault. You didn't know."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
I felt so bad for Harry, I mean, so many people thought that he killed Cedric. A nice boy like him would never do that. I know he's telling the truth. I don't know if he really loved me, but I don't think he'd make something up like that to me.
"Well, thanks," I said nervously.
"Sure."
"See you soon."
"Okay, uh, bye."
So that's what happened, I guess. If Harry's seen Voldemort every year at Hogwarts, it's only a matter of time before he sees him again. The way I figure it, now that he's at full power again, it's not looking good.
********************************************************************
I didn't see Harry at all the next day. At dinner time, Dumbledore looked like he had something important to say. He looked nervous, but I don't know why, because he always speaks in front of a crowd.
I turned my head over to the Gryffindor table to see if Harry was there. It was odd, because usually I see him during the day.
I spotted Ron and Hermoine, but not Harry. I've never seen that before.
"Psst... Ron, where's Harry?"
He didn't answer. He just looked at me, for a long time. And then, something I've never seen him do before; his eyes watered up. No, they already were watered up. What was wrong?
"Okay everyone," Dumbledore started speaking. He didn't sound happy,"Harry Potter, is missing. If you have -" he couldn't finish because of all the talking. Rumors were starting right away. I knew the truth.
Voldemort.
