I grabbed the Triwizard Tournament cup at the exact moment as my fellow competitor Harry. The familiar pull at the navel told me it was a portkey. I thought it would take me back to the start of the maze, to show the two Hogwarts champions had won. But I was wrong. We ended up in a graveyard, a graveyard Harry said he had seen before. He yelled at me to go back, but I did not listen. Suddenly a hoarse bone chilling voice pierced my ears like nails.
"Wormtail…" it spoke. I couldn't tell if it was male or female, it was wrapped in a blanket carried by a rat-like man who was named Wormtail.
"Kill the spare!" he said hoarsely.
No time to defend myself, a green light hit me square in the chest. I was cold, and I saw a white light edging towards me. I reached out for it. Time was meaningless in this white area. It could have been years before I felt another pull. It was tugging me back down to Earth, like another portkey.
I appeared out of Voldemort's wand.
"Take my body back. Take my body back to my father," I said to Harry, I saw my own body lying on the ground. I was dead.
His parents were there, Harry's expression was a fight between concentration and surprise.
Two others were there also, a man and lady whom I did not recognize, and did not hear their names.
As we distracted Voldemort while Harry escaped, I fell back into the blackness; ready to be awoken by the wizard Afterlife.
