Chapter 79: Story

Eventually, people started crowding around us, and Minnie arrived looking rather annoyed, since the only thing she knew was that the task was finished.

"Make way, please return to your seats. I understand that you're hap-" then her eyes fell on us. I was laying on Eve's body, my face buried in her chest. The sound that came out of her mouth was inhuman. It was like a scream got caught in her throat and came out as a shriek, as she fell to her knees right next to us. She cupped Eve's face in her hands and I saw tears starting to form in her eyes. She then gently touched my back to make me get up, but retracted her hand quickly. I got up slowly and looked at her, confused. The sad look on her face was now replaced by a stunned one.

"What?"

"You're ice cold. And your hair is green again."

She grabbed me and dragged me to her office, along with Cedric. Harry has apparently been taken by Moody, and everyone else was sent back to their rooms. There were a lot of things to be solved and they had no time for students wandering around the school.

As we sat on the chairs in her office, Cedric kept sneaking me glances. At the time, my mind was too clouded to realize I came back from the dead merely a quarter of an hour ago. I thought it was because of my green hair and swollen eyes, because I kept crying and shaking even after I was taken away from my friends' lifeless body. Minnie sat in her own chair, crying as well, but trying to keep it together, though she was very obviously failing.

"I need you two to tell me exactly what happened during the task, every little thing you know, no matter what."

She looked at me and that was the moment l realized that no one deserved to suffer just so I could keep all of my secrets; I couldn't hide forever, or lie to everyone. Even though things will be hard, I had to do this, for Eve.

"We were in the maze and Harry saved me, then we got to the Cup and decided to take it together because he saved me and he was injured and that meant he had a lot less chances. Then as we touched it, it was a Portkey. And it took us to the graveyard."

"That's when Harry's pain disappeared for a bit and-"

"Wait. His pain? You didn't take the pill, did you?"

"How could I have? I had a terrible feeling and I couldn't have lowered my chances of helping. And it turned out I was right. I asked Dumbledore to raise the anti apparition spell so I could go help. I told Eve to stay but but she caught my hand as I was Apparating. Then as we arrived to a graveyard I saw the green light and Harry ran up to Cedric, as the curse was aimed at him I suppose. But it didn't reach him; we Apparated between them and the curse hit Eve. Then the one who shot the spell tied us all to gravestones."

"And then finished making a potion into a huge cauldron, then dropped a deformed baby into it."

"It was Wormtail. He cut off his hand and took a bone from a grave and Harry's blood as well and dropped them in the cauldron. Then threw the thing inside and Voldemort came out."

"That was...him?!??" Cedric's eyes widened and he turned fully to me. I sighted.

"Yes Cedric, it was him. "

"But I thought he was defeated. And why did he say that you were supposed to be dead? What do you have to do with any of this?"

"Look, all you need to know is that I had an encounter with him a long time ago, then again in my first year. And that was enough for him to want me dead. "

"But you're muggleborn. How could you have met him before Hogwarts?"

"Mr Diggory!" He stopped talking and turned to Minnie. " I understand that you are at the moment confused and curious but there are more important things to deal with. Continue please."

"He summoned the Death Eaters. And he started telling them off. And then, umm..."

"There was an initiation of some kind. There was a boy. You-know-who said that he was new and something."

"It was Garret."

"What?" Her concentration dissipated and she looked just slightly shocked. It was obvious she somehow expected that at some point maybe, but not so early.

"Garret was the new one. He said he helped him and my theory is that's why he's been missing so much from home. He branded him with the Mark and then told him to kill me but nothing happened."

"Then our ropes fell and-"

"And we Apparated here."

"No, Selene."

"What do you mean no? That's what happened."

"Not everything. You-know-who shot a killing curse towards you and it hit you. When we were back at the school you were dead, and your hair was green. You only started breathing again a few minutes later. Why? How are you alive? "

But I (luckily) didn't get to answer. Sev stormed in the office.

"Moody is the impostor. He took Potter."

As we arrived there, a man was tied to a chair, Dumbledore in front of him and Harry a few meters away from them.

He was interrogated under Veritaserum. He was Bartemius Crouch Jr and had been in Azkaban, but switched places with his mother some time ago. He was a Death Eater and was sent to kill me because I was "annoying the Dark Lord" and to help Harry through the Tournament. He planted the Portkey and made sure Harry got there first. But his attempts to kill me throughout the year failed. Cornelius Fudge was summoned by Dumbledore, to hear it from the source. But before he could arrive, a dementor came in and gave Crouch the kiss. It was terrible. Under the hood there weren't eyes or a nose, only a round mouth with pointy teeth. He got close to Fudge and sucked his soul, which was a little ball of light. And so our testimony was gone. Fudge refused to believe that Voldemort was back and left the school very angry. That night I decided to confront the adults about my little nightmare. I realized I'd lose my courage if I'd wait more. So I entered the Headmaster's office and just blurted it out:

"Am I death or just a monster?"
