The spectators had begun to start a near riot, stampeding from the stands like mad, looking for Cedric and Harry. Nearly an hour must have past while everyone frantically searched for the whereabouts of the two boys.
Both Viktor and Fleur were being treated for injuries they suffered during their time in the maze and Hermione was over with Viktor questioning him about everything. Majie, Ron, Travis and Oliver were standing together near the maze when suddenly Dumbledore approached them.
"Mr. Knoxfield, may I have a word with you please?" Dumbledore spoke to Travis. Travis looked towards Oliver and brushed his hand, before excusing himself.
"I just don't understand what's going on!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yes I know, I don't think this was supposed to happen." Majie began, "But I'm sure Harry can take care of himself. Maybe this is just an extra part to the challenge?" She tried to comfort Ron. Majie, Ron, and Oliver continued to talk briefly about what had happened, while Oliver glanced in Travis' direction every now and then. What was it that Dumbledore needed him for any ways? After all, he was just a journalist. Maybe he wanted to make sure that nothing got out to the public about the events. Who knew?
Suddenly there was a flash of light and Harry and Cedric appeared, the cup too the side of them. Everyone nearby gasped at the sight before them. Harry was dirty and cut up, blood splattered across his robes, and his hand was holding Cedric's. Cedric laid lifelessly next to Harry. A scream rang out through the crowd from Cedric's mother.
"Harry!" Ron called out running towards him, but Harry was already surrounded by a mob, which just shoved Ron backwards.
Majie grabbed Ron's arm steadying him. "Give him a minute, it looks like something awful happened. I think Cedric is dead Ron." Ron's breath was caught in his throat. His best friend was lying next to a dead Hogwarts student, and he couldn't get to him. He turned towards Majie not sure what to do as Fudge's voice rang out through the crowd yelling, "Cedric Diggory is dead! He's dead! He's dead!" over and over again.
Mrs. Weasley and Bill ran up to Ron, Majie and Oliver who were standing together. "What's happened, what's going on? Bill can you see anything?!" Mrs. Weasley frantically tried to stand on her toes to peek through the crowd and get a look at Harry.
"I I can only see" Bill began but was interrupted by Ron.
"Mom, Bill, Majie! I see Harry; Mad-Eye Moody is taking him off! I think we should say something to Dumbledore, you never know what is going on with that crazy man." Harry's friends turned in an attempt to find Dumbledore amidst the large crowd, but before anyone could say anything a swooshing cloak passed them, which was followed by two more. Professors Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall were all headed towards the castle where Mad-Eye had brought Harry just minutes ago. The Weasley family, with Majie, the now returned Hermione, Oliver and Travis on their heels followed the professors.
It took them a long time to break through the crowd and get into Hogwarts in an attempt to find Harry. Professor Dumbledore appeared out of a classroom telling Mrs. Weasley that they had brought Harry to the hospital wing and were going to put him to sleep for a while because of the ordeal he has just been through. They followed Dumbledore up to Harry's room. While everyone was preoccupied with Harry, Oliver and Travis went off with Professor Dumbledore who said he needed to speak with them immediately.
Ron and Mrs. Weasley began talking to a drowsy Harry, when Majie interupted for a moment.
"Harry, is that your dog?" She said pointing towards a large black dog that was sitting on the opposite side of Harry's bed.
Hermione's head tilted up and she smiled at the dog, who almost looked like he was smiling back at her.
"Oh Siru--Snuffles!! There you are!!" Ron exclaimed. "How are you doing?" Ron walked over and began to pet the large black dog, who was actually Sirus Black, Harry's God father.
"Snuffles?" Majie questioned, following Ron over. "That's a cute name. Poor thing, looks like he hasn't had enough to eat lately." Majie leaned over and started to pet the dog as well. It licked her face. "Oh, I think he likes me Harry!" Majie kissed the dog on the nose, completely unaware that "Snuffles" was really Sirus Black. The dog continued to lather her pretty face in drool with its tongue.
"Uh.. um... Majie... eh..." Ron tried to stop her, but she seemed to absolutely love Sirus. Harry let out a small chuckle, to which was his first since before the final task had begun.
"I like 'im" Majie smiled wildly at Ron and Harry. They figured they
would keep Sirus' real identity to themselves for the time being.
