Time Turner Mania!
"You're born, and you die. The bit in between is called life, and that's still to come!"
Maliaphire: Anyone who can tell me where that quote is from gets a virtual cookie! Yippee! Can't wait till I see "Goblet of Fire" tomorrow, well by the time I post this I'll have seen it but... anyhow. For the most random reason I decided to swap the hand I was writing with in the middle of a Biology test, my Biology teacher may be slightly puzzled when my writing suddenly goes very untidy and shaky in the middle where I switched to my left hand, and then goes back to normal again a page later lol. Right now I am so nervous about my Maths NAB tomorrow, not that you really wanted or needed to know any of that but whatever.
gigglingirl3001: Well you'll just have to read to find out whether or not I kill the "hot guy" have fun skiing in Russia! See you after Christmas!
XcruciatusX: Thank you, my problem is I start writing something then don't bother to finish it.
swachacker: Thanks, have a good time at choir!
Chapter 6: Caught In A Moment
"Hermione, this is a matter of Cedric's living or dying. I don't give a toss about fate it can go screw itself for all I care, please give me the time turner!" Harry pleaded.
"Ok Harry, breathe, before you sprain something, but you can't go. Apart from the fact that you are injured you might think that it was a trick of the maze or something. Ron and I will go," Hermione reasoned.
"But..." Harry protested.
"It's alright mate we'll just step in and tell Cedric not to grab the cup even if we hace to knock him to the ground to do that ok?" wheedled Ron.
"Ok, but go quickly; there's no time!" Harry warned. Hermione and Ron pelted down the corridor as fast as their legs could carry them. Harry just hoped they would get there in time.
Within a few minutes they flew out of the door and through the winding pathways of the maze until they reached the centre where only a few hours ago Cedric had been portkeyed to his death. Hermione threw the chain round them both and quickly but carefully turned the tiny hourglass round three times. The maze spun around them and they saw the now familiar swirl of colours as they travelled back in time.

They saw Cedric and Harry about to grab the cup. No! They could not have come so close to saving Cedric only to be too late. They both ran towards Cedric and barrelled into him just as he and Harry grabbed the cup thus being transported into the graveyard along with them.
"Kill the spares!" said a voice and Ron and Hermione instinctively pulled both Harry and Cedric to the ground as they heard the deadly incantation and saw the green beam of light shoot above their heads and into a nearby tree.
They were screwed, no doubt about it and unless they did something soon they would all be killed. Ron in an unusual show of intelligence yanked Harry's invisibility cloak from his pocket and covered Hermione, Cedric and himself with it, so that it looked as though Harry was the only one still standing. Then after getting Cedric to shut up, they silently moved over behind a tree and tried to get a good view of what was going on.
They watched as Voldemort was resurrected and as he called his death eaters to him. They witnessed the duel between Harry and Voldemort unable to do anything, and then just before Harry reached the cup they showed themselves to him and they all touched the portkey. After the usual disorientation brought about by portkeys, Ron and Hermione covered themselves with the cloak once more after signalling to Harry and Cedric that they would explain later.
Events played out as they should have with the small exception of Cedric being alive as opposed to dead. Later when their other selves had gone back in time they revealed themselves again and explained what had really happened to Harry and Cedric, getting the latter to agree not to tell a soul. With there being joint winners the minister awarded them 1000 galleons each, and as would have happened otherwise, Harry gave his winnings to Fred and George.
Maliaphire: Well there you have the next chapter, I started it a while ago seeing as how I saw "The Goblet of Fire" on the 18th but I wasn't sure how to continue, hope you like it:
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
