Chapter 29: Riddle grave
Viktor had wanted to win the tournament from the start, but more than ever before now. He knew Harry's dads and the others hoped they could find Harry first, but as he went into the maze he had Harry on his mind. He didn't care if he was able to win for the sake of the tournament; he needed to get to Harry. He was worried that Igor was involved in this but not as incentive for Viktor to win, but because of his old leanings. Viktor's parents had not been happy when the man had been named the headmaster for the school, and were reluctant for him to attend school.
He noticed when someone had been forced out, and he reminded himself he needed to focus. It was dangerous enough in here, and he would be no good to Harry if he was killed or he was forced out. He wore an old charm around his neck which had a tracking spell on is, that he hoped could bring help for both him and Harry.
Both he and Cedric came into the center of the maze together and were shocked to find the spider dead. Cedric looked around."What the hell is happening?"
Viktor realized Harry was not there and he knew."It is a trap, the cup is a portkey."
Cedric looked like he thought he was telling lies, and Viktor needed to act fast. He didn't have time to explain in full but he told the other boy what was happening, and prayed he would listen. Cedric knew Viktor well enough to know he would not lie about this, and he offered to come with him. Viktor knew that he was wanted for some reason but Viktor knew Cedric was not and worried he would be killed.
He went to make a grab for the cup but before he could stop him Cedric had as well, and they were both whisked away. They arrived in a graveyard but before they could react men and women in robes appeared, and Igor held Harry with a knife to his neck.
Igor pointed the knife right at a vein. "If you do not want him dead put down your wands now."
Harry shook his head. "Get out of here; they will kill all of us."
Viktor and Cedric both dropped their wands and soon found themselves pinned to tombstones, as Harry was prepared for some kind of ritual. Viktor watched as one of the men put a bone and then cut off his own hand and put is in the cauldron. He could not hear what was being said but they were pointing at Viktor and Harry suddenly stopped fighting and let himself be led over to the cauldron.
Igor came to Viktor and ripped the charm off. "A tracking spell as I hoped. I knew his little family would follow, and they would be the first to die when He rises.'
Harry's voice could be heard in a panic. "If you want my blood take is, I will not allow you to kill them..."
There was a lot of shouting as his blood went into the cauldron and Harry managed to use the confusion to break free. There was a sudden explosion of light and when is cleared the cauldron was gone as was what ever had been added to it, and he could not see Harry any where either. The Death eaters were confused and angry, and Igor came their way but Viktor noticed a few of them had actually fled from the area.
Igor pulled Viktor up and put the knife to him instead.. "You think you are so smart, blowing up our master. Come out little boy or we will kill them both."
Harry appeared from behind a tomb with his wand in the air. "Your master is dead and most of your men have fled.."
Igor was going to prison one way or another now, and if he was he would ruin the lives of those who turned their back on the cause. He would kill Harry and have his head sent back to school in the cup, he could see he looks on the faces of Lucius and Severus then. It was why he never married and had kids is made you weak, the ones who staged true to Voldemort had no kids, and only two wed.
Suddenly Igor was hit by a body bind and as he lay on the ground he looked up at the saviour of the three little boys." You."
Panic went through the school when they found out what happened, but the remaining order had been summoned. They knew where the boys had been taken but they could not bring down the wards around to apparate there. They had no idea why Victor and Cedric had both been taken, but they needed to get to them. They had to be careful though as they had a sickening feeling they were meant to follow. The only reason they could come up with was they were to be an audience.
Finally accompanied by the Krums and Amos, the order headed out for the location knowing they had to go. They were shocked to find when they came to the Riddle graveyard that the wards had come down, and they could tell some had left.
Severus caught site of his nephew who was facing someone in robes. "Drop the wand, you're surrounded."
Harry shocked them all by calling out. "Stop don't shoot, they saved us."
A second Death eater appeared and they noticed several subdued figures on the ground, including Igor who was conscious but screaming. Cedric was tied to a stone but still alive and Viktor was shaken but on his feet, Harry seemed to be the only one who was hurt. He had a cut along his scalp and was bleeding badly from his arm, but he looked more shaken then anything. Lucius took his son into his arms, so relieved his son was safe.
Sirius looked at the two who were still masked but lowered their wands. "What happened here?"
It was Igor who answered. "The little brat ruined the potion and killed our lord. And these two traitors helped."
Harry told them he had been jumped on his way home, and remembered nothing till he woke up here. He had been told his blood was needed to resurrect the man but his Uncle Sev had always told him wording was key, well in potions at least. It had been like a potion, and he thought if he was willing is might mess up the potion. The potion had blown up and in the confusion a number had fled, but Igor had threatened Viktor. Suddenly these two had come to their rescue.
The one who took down Igor removed their mask. "Igor was right, those of us who have families don't make good killers after all."
An: so no I did not hurt Harry and since the basilisk killed in my story, I let Cedric live. Voldemort is gone (no horcruxes) but trouble not done
