Tears streamed down my face silently. I didn't know what to do. We had been ambushed by Voldemort and his followers. Cedric had been killed with the killing curse. I had stayed, clinging to Cedric's body, terrified. I knew I couldn't take them all on and Harry was struggling against Voldemort. Some how Harry got away from Voldemort and was now porting us back. Cheers erupted around us. It became chaos as everyone realized Cedric was dead. His father's cries of grief tore at my heart. Dumbledore looked right at me. I could see relief in his eyes that I was alive and well. He turned his attention quickly to the more important matter at hand. People were crowding down, pushing and shoving me in their attempts to see Cedric. No one noticed some girl they'd never seen before. I looked around for Harry in the mess and barely caught a glimpse of him being led away by Mad Eye. Suspicion screamed at me, so I pushed through the crowd to reach Da. He was trying to convince Cedric's father to release the body so we could remove him to a more private area. I nudged him hard to get his attention. He turned sharply to me.
"Professor Dumbledore, Mad Eye has taken Harry away... I think you should go after them." I said, trying to make it sound casual while also indicating with my eyes the urgency I felt was needed. He looked quickly from me to the castle, to Mr. Diggory and back. His eyes searched around us and fell on Snape and McGonagall. He strode off quickly towards the castle with Snape and McGonagall following in his wake. I stayed behind. I turned to Mr. Diggory and tried to comfort him and calm him.
"Mr. Diggory, come now, let's bring Cedric somewhere more private." Madam Pomfrey helped me coax. Finally he conceded with a nod and Madam Pomfrey and I helped move Cedric into a private chamber within the Hospital wing.
Mr. Diggory hugged the dead body of his son, which now lay on a bed within the chamber. Madam Pomfrey finally looked to me and I felt her curious eyes.
"I don't recognize you. Are you one of the Beauxbatons girls?" She asked. I didn't answer the question.
"I'm a cousin of Cedric's." I quietly responded instead. My face was still tear streaked, so I hoped she believed it. She smiled tightly.
"I need to send out some owls. I'll be back shortly." She said quietly and left quickly. I turned to Mr. Diggory, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Mr. Diggory, please... I think I can help." I said meekly. He turned to me, shocked, as if he hadn't realized I was there til just now.
"HELP? THere's not helping my boy. He's dead! Killed by Harry POtter most likely!" He shouted angrily. I backed away a little while he shouted but still held my ground.
"Mr. Diggory, please. Let me see to him." I begged. I had learned at a small age about my healing capabilities. I supposed it was because I had be born from death...
I was five and playing in the attic of the cozy little house we had in London. I had a line of wooden chairs set out in front of a table with a chair behind it. My dolls all occupied the chairs except the one I sat in. I had the dolls next to me all wearing red and gold colored scarves I had knit all by myself. The doll sitting in the chair behind the table wore a tall black witch's hat that I'd sewn together from scraps of cloth I'd gathered. I was playing like I was a student at Hogwarts. I was having a blast, waving my stick and pretending to practice charms. I practiced a charm that grew flowers and suddenly flowers popped up all around me on the floor. I was so amazed and excited that I'd done such beautiful magic, without a real wand. I wanted to tell Da. He was outside working in his garden. I ran to the little window and threw open the shutters. I heard a squawk and some flapping. Straw and feathers fell to the floor. I looked down, startled. There lay a baby bird. It's momma squawked from the window at me. I gasped and tears filled my eyes. The baby bird lay there, DEAD! I knelt down by the dead bird and picked it up in my hands. My mind busily sorted through spells I knew, trying to find on that would work. I settled on a simple healing spell. I held the bird and whispered the spell over and over again. There wasn't a high chance o fit working but I had to try. A single tear landed on the bird as I brought it to my mouth and kissed it. What I later would only describe as the most horrible pain I'd ever felt, jolted through my little body. It was almost like the death shot into me as I healed the bird and brought it back to life. I didn't actually get to witness the miracle though. I was found by Da, collapsed on the floor. He had apparently sensed the powerful magic and come to find me. I was passed out with a small baby bird chirping happily on top of me. I had explained to Da what had happened and he seemed amazed but frightened. This scared me because not a lot frightens my Da.
"I don't think you should try this ever again my Dear. Promise me you won't." He had said.
"I promise."
Mr. Diggory seemed to be considering something about me and I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. Finally, with a sweeping of his arm as he backed away from Cedric, I was invited to see to him. My heart pounded with fear. This might kill me to do. Before, a tiny bird had rendered me unconscious for a few hours. I took a deep breath and leaned over him. Mentally I was repeating the healing spell, my hands rested on his broad chest. Leaning down, I kissed his could mouth and my tears showered down on him...
*** I am sooo sorry for the delay in uploading. The electricity went out last night from a storm, then when it did come back on... my computer was crashed... still haven't been able to get it to work.
