Chapter 21: The Third Task

Aliana entered the maze with Cedric and Harry, her heart pounding nervously as she walked with the spherecamera. Damn this thing was heavy! She thought to herself, wondering how Aundrea did it all. Following after Harry, she kept her distance with her wand at the ready. She watched in horror through the cam as Harry ran into a Blast-Ended skrewt, helping Cedric Diggory. Soon after the two split once more. Figuring he'd need more footage and protection, Aliana followed after Harry.

Thoughts of her baby sister flashed through her mind as she kept her distance. Secretly praying to the Gods of Yevon, something she rarely did, she prayed for her sisters safety. She felt a gentle breeze, calming her nerves until-

"Aliana stay back!" Harry suddenly screamed from far ahead. But Aliana refused. If anything happens to your ass, it'll be my head. Feeling her blood turn cold, she found herself looking into the face of what seemed to be a dementor.

"It's a boggart!" Aliana yelled, jumping out of the way with the sphere cam, damaging her shoulder in the process. "Ouch!" She cried in pain.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked her, unaware she was still filming him.

"I'm fine, Potter!" She hissed. " Hurry up and destroy that thing!"

"RIDUKKULUS!" Harry yelled, destroying the boggart. "I'll send for help!"

Just as he raised his wand to send up red sparks, he heard Fleur scream. Aliana nodded for him to go, but Harry shook his head and helped her up when they suddenly heard the scream once more.

"Go I'll be fine."Aliana groaned, still holding the camera. Harry dashed off into the distance.

"Aliana." The wind blew, and Aliana felt her sister's spirit screaming.

"Aundrea?" Aliana whispered, turning over in pain. There standing in over her was none other than Viktor Krum, there was a bang, causing Aliana Anderson to let out a scream for the first time in her life.

"What was that?" Harry said aloud. He heard Cedric's voice cry out in the distance, running toward it he saw no one other than Viktor Krum. Pulling out his wand, Harry stunned Krum watching as Cedric helped a shaken Aliana up from the ground.

"You ok?" Cedric asked her. Aliana blushed and nodded. He helped her up, putting an arm around her. "Harry, let's split up. I'll keep Aliana with me, ok?"

Harry nodded and soon the two split once more. Aliana said nothing as Cedric and she walked together. She remembered Aundrea having a small crush on Cedric her third year but never acting on it.

"How's your sister?" He asked her as he helped her sit down.

"To be honest, I have no idea where she is," Aliana said, grunting in pain as Cedric massaged her shoulder before muttering a healing spell. She felt a sting, and soon the pain was faint. Aliana looked at him.

"I'm sure she's alright. Anderson always could defend herself well," Cedric said, blushing slightly. "All better?" He asked, causing Aliana to nod. Smiling the two kept moving. Aliana felt a strange pain in her chest, when Cedric nearly dropped her.

"I see it, Aliana the Cup!" Cedric exclaimed excitedly.

"GO!" Aliana screamed as she spotted Harry. Shoving him forward, Cedric sprinted towards the same time as Harry, who turned out to be just as quick. Aliana watched in horror as the two boys grabbed the cup only to disappear from view.

"I know where she is," she thought allowed suddenly. Closing her eyes she sat down to meditate for her sister's spirit.

Unto the Breach
"Kill the spare, "were the only words she heard from her grandfather. Wormtail handed him to her, and she cradled him gently in her arms. Her Star scar burning slightly. She merely watched as Wormtail dragged Harry to a nearby statue.

"AUNDREA!" She heard a voice call out to her with a Spanish accent.

"Bring him forward, Lady Anderson," Wormtail said to her. She walked forward handing her grandfather to his servant, watching solemnly as he dumped Voldemort into the cauldron. Blinded by a sudden pain, Aundrea felt her vision become clouded as her Star Scar began to burn. Her heart raced quickly and soon all became black...

"Awaken, Aundrea," she heard Wormtail call to her gently. She let out a small scream, but let him hold her as she was too weak to move.

"Where is he?" Aundrea asked quietly.

"He is with his inner circle." Wormtail said to her quietly. "Are you able to-"

"Wormtail, bring her about!" Came the cold harsh voices of Isabella and Voldemort. Wormtail watched sadly as Aundrea became entranced under their spell once more, sphere changing into robes of black. He followed after her, listening to his master's voice.

"Please welcome my lovely granddaughter, Aundrea Aaliyah Maria Maxine Connie Carmen Ashanti Anderson. Guardian of the Wizarding world, Shuyin Summoner of Spira, Princess of Zanarkand, and heiress of the Anderson throne," Voldemort said respectfully to his circle of Death Eaters. Aundrea bowed, watching as her grandfather walked over to Cedric's now dead body.

"Don't touch him!" Harry yelled from the statue causing the Dark Lord to round on him.

"Harry Potter I do believe you have met my granddaughter correct?" Voldemort asked. Harry felt his insides turn cold as a young girl of fourteen walked towards him with long, silky black hair and scarlet colored eyes. Walking up to him, she placed a hand on him.

"CRIUCIO!" Voldemort bellowed, the spell shooting through Aundrea and straight to Harry.

"You see, my granddaughter cannot feel that pain, but you can," Voldemort said, taking off the course. "And now I can touch you."

There was an agonizing scream that came from Harry as the Dark Lord touched his forehead. The blinding pain that he felt spread to Aundrea, causing her amber eyes to glow gold. She felt the Basilsk curse lift, but closed her eyes, her hand still on Harry until she felt a Death Eater pull her back gently She turned to see it was none other than Lucius Malfoy.

"Pick up your wand, Potter!" Voldemort hissed coldly. "Get up, get up!"

Aundrea quietly shifted her eyes as she watched Harry hide behind a tombstone. Closing her eyes, she felt her spiritual energy weakening as the Basilsk curse fought to control her body, feeling weak in the knees her body gave way.

"Fine," she heard Harry say. "Have it your way."

"EXPELLIARMUS!" He screamed, a red light erupting from his wand as the Dark Lord cast the Killing Curse. There was a bright flash and soon a blue erupted from each wand, the ghosts of Frank Bryce, Lily and James Potter, Cedric Diggory, and much to Aundrea's surprise Paine.

"Aundrea," Paine called out to the princess, who lay unconscious in Lucious Malfoy's arms.

"Paine?" Aundrea tried to speak, but felt her spirit weakening.

"When the time comes, you have to get to the cup with Harry," Paine said.

"We can linger for some time, but not long," Aundrea heard James Potter yell to Harry.

"Harry take my body back...take my body back to my parents," the ghost of Cedric Diggory said.

"Sweet heart you're ready," Lily said. "Let go! Let go!"

"AUNDREA!" Aundrea heard the voices of Aliana and Paine scream. "GO!"

Feeling her body full of Aliana's spiritual powers, Aundrea broke free of Lucius Malfoy, throwing herself on the PortKey simultaneously as Harry, who held onto Cedric's body. In an instant, the two found themselves in the Quidditch pitch. Harry looking at his best friend with a\ fear in his eyes. There was golden aura erupting from Aundrea's body and soon all around her began to fade.
