Chapter 83: Spoiled summer

Hogwarts student back from the dead

As we all know, this past year, the Ministry of Magic of The British isles, along with three of the biggest magic schools of Europe tried to bring back a old, but not lost tradition. The Triwizard Tournament took place again, after a century, this time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Right from the start, the planning seemed to have errors, as four students were chosen instead of three. The parents have been ensured that all sorts of safety measures were taken for the kids not to be in any real death danger this time.

But the events of the third and last task of the Tournament proved otherwise. Two non-participating students managed to somehow get into the maze where the two left contestants(Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory)were battling for the cup. When the four of them got back, the girls were dead, both obviously shot with the killing curse. The parents of one of them, Evelyn Amthar, from Durmstrang, arrived the next day at Hogwarts, and attended a meeting with Albus Dumbledore and the organizators of the Tournament. They asked to see the headmaster of Durmstrang, but found out that he unexpectedly fled the night before. After the meeting, they left with the body of their daughter.Under the surprised eyes of the people present at the task( students, teachers and parents alike), the other girl, Selene Povans, from Gryffindor, jolted back to life, merely five minutes after arriving. No one seemed able to give a reasonable explanation of what happed, though we managed to talk to a few of the students.

"I've never heard of something like that before, but then again, she's really weird for a muggleborn."

"I'm sure she was dead, there were even a few people who performed spells to check for vital signs, and didn't find any."

"Like any good Muggle would say…she's a witch! But really, if the teachers don't know what happened, how are we supposed to?"

I let the Daily Prophet fall on the table and stood. This summer wasn't going exactly well.

"Offf, what are we supposed to do now?" I was so confused about everything by this point.

"Well, we might as well tell them the truth."

"Minerva y-"

"You know I'm right Albus, and I've been telling you this for years. What point is there to keep this secret anymore? When she was little, se wasn't really able to control her powers, and there still were Death Eaters lurking around the Wizarding World. But now everyone knows she survived the killing curse, well, they know about this time. And You-Know-Who knows about her too."

"But we can't tell everyone all about her, Voldemort will learn all about her and that'll make us vulnerable."

"I didn't say we should tell them everything. Only some of it. They don't need to know that she's the one who caught the killing curse that night for example. Only what they need to know to stop suspecting her of murder, or whatever they're thinking of now."

"But what will happen if we tell them? They'll ask where I grew up, and why I wasn't with Harry. And they'll have all kinds of questions."

"We'll sort that out. The journalists can be handled easily and we can say that we kept you hidden after you were born because there were dark times. And I expect you can handle the students."

"But-"

"Listen, it's going to be far more complicated to deal with everything if we keep the secret."

"You're right, maybe. I'll just go. I have some letters to write."

I went to the Great Hall and sat at the Ravenclaw table. I wrote to the twins, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Draco, Blaise, and even Theo. I told them mostly the same thing, although I had to tell Theo about his brother. There were little things that I had to tell each of them, but the main message was the same: I was gonna need help with the questions after it was out.

It never really occured to me that at least in the past three years or so, keeping the secret was mostly pointless. Still, what scared me the most was the Ministry. What were they gonna do? If I knew anything about Fudge, that was that he wasn't someone to let something so big pass without making a scene. He was rather dramatic for a Minister.

I sent the letters and then went for a stroll around the castle. If what the teachers were saying was true, then I wouldn't have much time for myself after this summer. Not even the whole summer. But now being alone wasn't really appealing.

Hours away, in the little bedroom at Number four, Privet drive, Harry Potter was sitting on his bed, reading a letter. It was from Cedric Diggory, asking about the events of the third task. From what he knew, each of his friends received one. The boy had a really curious nature and wanted to know how everything that happened was possible. Harry had to admit that if he was in that position, he would've wanted to know too, but he couldn't say anything without the consent of his sister.

Dudley was a nightmare, as usual. But what made him even more annoying this summer was a girl. At his school, he started crushing on a girl that he had known for quite some time but now she seemed to have something different. His father couldn't help it but tell his son about the 'Dursley charm' and his mother got all sensitive when she remembered that her little Dudders liked a girl.

Harry was just feeling sorry for the poor girl.

They planned on inviting her family over to dinner. He was of course going to stay in his room and not make a sound. But it wasn't bothering anymore. Now he was allowed to let Hedwig out much more, since the Dursleys were afraid of Sirius. His Godfather also managed to send him a couple of old notebooks where Remus had carefully written all of their pranks over the years. Including their ideas, the victims, and the outcome. He had reading material of good quality now. And he was feeling closer to the Marauders than ever.
