Chapter 11: Oh Baby

"W-what did you just say?" Cedric said hoarsely.

"Nothing!" Harry shouted, almost in anger.

"Look, I'm sorry Harry, I didn't mean to make you angry…"

"It's not your necklace is it!" Harry screamed as he threw the necklace at Cedric, "Oh I'm so stupid!"

"What are you talking about?" Cedric asked as he picked up the necklace and sat down next to Harry.

"I didn't even think it could've been someone else's necklace, but it is isn't it? It's Cho's isn't it…I know she likes me…"

"Yeah she likes you…but she doesn't love you…" Cedric said touching Harry's hand, "Not like I do anyway…"

"What?" said Harry.

"That IS my necklace you doofus!"

"It is!"

"Of course it is!" He laughed, "Come here."

Harry slowly scooted forward and wrapped his arms around him.

"I love you Harry." Cedric whispered into his ear.

"I love you too Cedric," Harry said squeezing Cedric, tears streaming down his face, "Oh Merlin, I love you so much!"

Cedric pulled away and looked into Harry's watery eyes, their faces millimeters apart.

"I've loved you since last year, ever since that Quidditch game…I should've told you sooner but—"

"You were afraid…so was I" Harry answered for him.

"I really wanted to tell you at the Yule ball when we were dancing…"

"Merlin's beard, so did I…we should go dancing again," Harry said wiping the tears away.

"Well it doesn't matter now, now we know we love each other and we'll go dancing every night."

Cedric took Harry's glasses off for him and brushed the hair out of his eyes.

"I'd love that…" Harry whispered. Cedric leaned forward and there lips met. The soft wet touch of his mouth sent waves of warmth through Harry's body like hot chocolate on a snowy day. Harry moved his hands slowly up and down Cedric's back feeling his shoulder blades and strong lower back muscles.

"Ohh…" Harry breathed as Cedric kissed his neck, "You are so muscular."

Cedric chuckled and pushed Harry gently backwards so that they were lying on the ground.

"OWWW my leg!" Harry screamed suddenly pulling away from Cedric's sweet lips.

"OH baby I'm so sorry!" Cedric exclaimed, examining Harry's wound, "Merlin's Beard you're losing so much blood! We've got to get you help immediately!"

"Oh but I want to stay here with you!" Harry whined.

"I'm not leaving you Harry, I'll never leave you! But you need help. Let's take the cup together and get out of here." Cedric said helping Harry up.

"Ok," Harry said giving Cedric a peck on the cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too honey."

With Cedric's support, Harry made it to the gleaming Triwizard Cup.

"On the count of three?" Harry asked, his hand hovering over one of the handles.

"Ok," Cedric replied.

"One…Two…Three"

Harry felt like he was being pushed down by an invisible hand into a colorful whirl of nothingness. Then all of the sudden he felt the cold hard ground. They weren't inside of Hogwarts anymore—they were in some kind of graveyard.

"H—Harry, it was a portkey…where are we? I'm scared…"

"I don't know…here hold my hand," Harry said holding his hand out for Cedric to take.

Then out of the darkness Harry could see a short figure holding what appeared to be a baby…

"Is that…a baby?" Cedric asked, pulling his wand out.

"Yeah, I think so---AHHHRRG!" Harry's scar felt like it split open, he had never felt so much pain in his life.

"Harry! What happened?" Cedric screamed.

"Kill the spare!" They heard an airy high-pitched voice say

The short figure came closer holding a wand out. Harry's scar was going to explode, he shut his eyes.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The pain in his forehead had become so unbearable he just had to hold onto or grab something—he moved so that he was in front of Cedric and grabbed his arm—Harry was right in the path of the curse.

"NOoooooooooooooooo!" Cedric screamed. But the bright green light passed through Harry, and instead, hit Cedric. The pain in his scar subsided and he opened his eyes to see Cedric lying on the ground.

No.

This was not happening.

HE WAS NOT DEAD.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Harry screamed as the short hooded-figure dragged him towards a headstone, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Oh shut up!" the short man said as he tied Harry to the Headstone.

"Wormtail? I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Wormtail ignored Harry and walked over to a large cauldron. He began muttering something about "bone of the father" and "flesh of the servant." Then he walked over towards Harry with a knife.

"And…blood of the enemy!" He said as he jabbed Harry's arm.

"Why couldn't you take it from my leg! It's already all bloody! AHHHRRHH!"

"Oh shut up will you? You're disturbing my master!"

Wormtail returned to the cauldron and tossed the baby in. Within a matter of seconds a tall thin man as pale as a ghost arose from the giant pot. Naked.

"AAAAAAAAAAARGGHGHGHAAAAAAAA!" Harry wailed as he averted his eyes.

"Robes." Voldemort ordered as Wormtail handed him his deep red velvet robes.

"Wig."

He handed his master a long curly brown wig.

"Now," Lord Voldemort said turning towards Harry, "Are you ready to duel?"

Harry pulled out his wand and struggled to stand on his hurt leg, "Ugh, ok…bring it on."

"Ok," Voldemort replied as he hit Harry with a painful curse.

"Owww!"

"Want some more? Crucio!" Harry rolled over behind the headstone avoiding the curse.

"Hey that's cheating!" Voldemort exclaimed, "Come out here and fight me like a wizard!"

"Fine!" Harry shouted back.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!" Harry screamed.

The two beams of light from their wands met and created a golden web around them.

Voldemort chuckled, "You're not as bad as I thought, Potter." Just then, several life-like ghosts began to come out of Voldemort's wand—Cedric, an unknown wizard and Harry's parents.

"What the hell?" Lord Voldemort exclaimed.

"Harry," the ghost of Cedric began, "Take my body back to my parents please." And then he winked. Why would he wink after saying a thing like that? The sight of Cedric almost made Harry lose his concentration.

"Don't lose your concentration, son!" the ghost of James Potter exclaimed, "You need to get to the portkey and return to Hogwarts, we'll give you some time. Ready? NOW!"

Harry took his wand away, breaking the golden web and ran towards Cedric's body.

"Get him!" Voldemort screamed at his death eaters, he was trapped by the ghosts.

"Accio!" Harry bellowed as the cup flew into his hands, taking him and Cedric's body back to Hogwarts. Cedric's body was still warm.

"AMATEURS!" screamed Voldemort, "BLOODY AMATEURS!"

Oh no, boo hoo Cedric is dead! How will Harry cope? Find out in the final chapter! Hehehe.
