A few days later Madam Pomfrey released Alyssa from the hospital wing, on the condition that she now wore a glamour necklace that hid her pregnant belly, since it was agreed that it was now too dangerous for her pregnanacy to be known, and even though the headmaster didn't like to admit it, he knew that there were children in the school who would be more then willing to tell the recently returned Voldemort about the-girl-who-lived's pregnancy.
Alyssa walked down the staircase towards the entrance hall, still feeling weird about looking so tiny, yet she was still trying to get use to the new weight. Another thing, since her magic revealed her pregnancy, another thing came with it, larger breasts, and now she had noticeably bigger breasts and she was sure it would warrant her more attention, much to her displeasure.
" Lyssa! " said a familiar voice.
She turned her head and saw Hermione and Ron standing by the Main Hall door, both wearing solemn expressions on their faces, " hey " she said quietly as she approached them. The pit in her stomach was widening and filling with a horrid feeling, through those doors Dumbledore would finally tell the truth of what happened to Cedric, and she didn't know if she could handle it, but she would try.
The Trio stood in silence, unsure of what to say to eachother.
" You look better, Lyssa " spoke up Hermione, breaking the awkward silence.
Alyssa smiled slightly " thank you " she said softly. For today, she was wearing completely black school robes, but she also had her silky black hair down, falling past her shoulders, in honour of Cedric, who had mentioned on many occasions that she looked better with it down.
They fell into another awkward silence.
Ron was the one to break it this time " shall we go in, then ?" he asked, gesturing to the large Main Hall doors.
Alyssa nodded.
The Trio then walked in together.
"...And that is why I think you need to know what happened, the Ministry do not wish me to tell you this, but if I don't then it will be an insult to Mr Diggory's memory " said Albus Dumbledore, who was looking incredibly grave and the signature twinkle was missing from his blue eyes, " Cedric Diggory was murdered, by Lord Voldemort, and now I want you to raise your goblet to Mr Diggory, who faced evil and died a hero, this is in his honour " he said, raising his goblet.
Despite the shocked gasps of disbelief and fear, everyone followed suite and raised their goblets in honour of Cedric Diggory, while many in the Hufflepuff house were sobbing and crying, but the Slytherin's had yet to raise their goblets, all looking blank-faced.
Anger and rage welled within Alyssa, how dare they dishonour Cedric like that, even though they were cold-hearted bastards, the least they could do was honour him, he had died a hero, more of one then she would ever be, even Snape had raised his goblet.
She caught the eye of Cho Chang, who was sat with her house, and the Ravenclaw Seeker, although anger was also in her eyes, shook her head and Alyssa understood, the Slytherin's weren't worth it. She nodded and looked back at the front, determined not to glare at Malfoy, she had heard his father in the graveyard.
Alyssa closed her eyes as the tears fell, ' Good-bye Cedric, I love you ' she thought, and with that, her heart could finally let it's soul-mate go.
The next day, more good-byes were said as Hogwarts, Beauxbaton's and Durmstrang students hugged, waved, shook hands or kissed ( in the Beauxbaton's case ) farewell, and Alyssa stood back and watched as Krum led Hermione away, with a jealous Ron glaring after them, but he was soon distracted by Fleur coming up to him and kissing him on the cheek, followed by little Gabrielle.
Poor Ron looked ready to combust.
Fleur then danced over to her fellow Tri-Wizard champion, her steps light and graceful, her beautiful face held a warm smile " I will miss you, Alyssa " she spoke in accented french, and kissed the younger girl's cheek.
Alyssa smiled " you too, Fleur " she said honestly.
Fleur beamed " good-bye " she said, before bounding away and back over to her waiting sister.
Hermione and Ron then returned to Alyssa's side, both blushing madly at their encounters just minutes before.
The Hogwarts students watched the foreign students leave, before they returned to the castle.
