Chapter 18: The Goblet of Fire Part 2

I watched with horror as the person we all feared returned to us once more. Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named stood right in front of me. I trembled with fear. I tried to escape from the ropes that were holding me down tightly but it was no use. Harry was still restrained as well. Everything was quiet as Voldemort approached the man who brought him to life.

"My wand, Wormtail," Voldemort said. So Wormtail was the asshole who brought Voldemort back. Wormtail obeyed, grabbing his wand from his pocket, and holding it out to him. Voldemort took the wand from him.

"Hold out your arm," Voldemort said.

"Master... Thank you, master." Wormtail said. Wormtail thought he was getting a new arm, so he was disappointed when Voldemort had other plans for him.

"The other arm, Wormtail." Voldemort said impatiently. Wormtail held out his other arm. Voldemort grabbed his arm forcefully. He pointed his wand at the ink in Wormtail's arm where the ink was on his arm. The ink was moving as the wand sunk deep into his skin. Loud thunder rumbled in the sky. There was an eerie howling and moaning in the distance. A creepy face appeared in the sky.

I exchanged nervous glances with Harry. I watched as black smoke appeared, coming right at us. Now, men in black robes were summoned. The men had masks on, covering their faces. They stood in a circle, surrounding the Dark Lord.

"Welcome, my friends. Thirteen years it's been and yet... here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself... disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me." Voldemort said. Voldemort begins to peel the masks off, yelling out each and everyone's names who did not find him. I was shocked to learn that Crabb and Goyal were members of the Death Eaters. This had me wondering. Could Draco be a Death Eater too?

When Voldemort reached to the last one, he especially seemed disappointed in him. He expressed his disappointment loud and clear.

"Not even you... Lucius." Voldemort hissed. Voldemort forcefully peeled the mask off. Lucius, the father of Draco knelt down before him. "My Lord, had I detected any sign, a whisperer of your whereabouts-"

"There were signs, my slippery friend. And more than whispers." Voldemort said.

"I assure you, my Lord, I have never renounced the old ways," Lucius said. Lucius took off his mask. "The face. I have been obliged to present each day. Since your... absence... That is my true mask."

"I returned..." Wormtail said, stepping out of the shadows. Wormtail gasped, falling over a bit as Voldemort walked over to him.

"Out of fear, not loyalty. Still, you have proven yourself useful these past few months, Wormtail." Voldemort said. With a flick of his wand a new hand appeared on Wormtail's arm. Wormtail gasped, holding out his arm to look at it.

"Thank you, master. Thank you." Wormtail said. Harry grunted as his scar continued to burn. Voldemort walked over to Cedrics dead body. Voldemort made clicking noises with his tongue. He touched his face with his foot.

"Such a handsom boy," Voldemort said.

"Don't touch him!" Harry yelled.

"You have no right!" I yelled. Voldemort turned his attention to us.

"Harry. Oh, I'd almost forgotten you were here. Standing on the bones of my father." Voldemort said, walking up to him.

"Yeah," Harry muttered, his voice barely audible. Voldemort then turned his attention to me.

"And you brought a special guest with you," Voldemort said, walking over to me. "And who might you be, young one?"

I didn't want to tell him my name. But then again, I did not want to anger him. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to speak. "I'm Lana... Lana Potter."

"Ah. Harry's sister?" Voldemort said.

"No... His daughter." I said. Voldemort had a sickening smile on his face as he lifted my chin up roughly with his wand.

"You will be good use to me then," Voldemort said.

"Get away from her!" Harry yelled. Voldemort just smirked. He walked over to Harry again.

"I'd introduce you, but word has it, you're almost as famous as me these days. The boy who lived. How lies have fed your legend, Harry. Shall I reveal what really happened that night 13 years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? Yes, shall I? It was love. You see, when dear, sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son, she provided the ultimate protection. I could not touch him. It was old magic. Something I should have foreseen. But no matter, no matter, things have changed..." Voldemort said. I watched in horror as Voldemort raised his hand toward Harry's head.

"I can touch you... Now." Voldemort said. Voldemort touched his finger on Harry's scar. Harry screamed in pain. I couldn't imagine the pain he must be going through right now. Voldemort pressed his finger on Harry's head harder. Voldemort laughed loudly. Harry continued screaming. Voldemort finally stopped, releasing his hand from Harry's head.

"Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do Harry, eh? Pick up your wand, Potter." Voldemort said, roughly releasing Harry from the restraints. Harry fell down roughly onto the ground. "I said pick it up! Get up! Get up! You've been taught how to duel, I pressume, yes? First, we bow to each other. Come on now, Harry. The niceties must be observed. Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners, would he?"

"You asshole!" I yelled. I regretted my words when Voldemort turned to me sharply. I couldn't help it, I was angry and it just slipped out.

"Silence!" Voldemort yelled. Using his wand, Voldemort wrapped a gag around my mouth. I couldn't speak anymore now. Fuck. Voldemort turned back to Harry.

"I said, bow!" Voldemort yelled. With a flick of his wand, Voldemort forced Harry to bow down. Harry grunted in pain. Tears streamed down my face.

"That's better. And now." Voldemort said as he charged at Harry then roughly pushed him to the ground.

"No!" Harry yelled.

"Crucio!" Voldemort yelled. As the torture curse was inflicted on Harry's body, Harry rolled around on the ground. This lasted for about a few seconds until Harry was finally released from the curse. "Crucio!"

I desperately wanted to help my dad but there was nothing I could do when I was tied up.

"Attaboy, Harry. Your parents would be proud. Especially your filthy muggle mother." Voldemort said. Harry tried attacking Voldemort with his spell.

"Expelliar-!" Harry couldn't finish the attack because Voldemort pushed the attack back to him.

"I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter. I'm going to kill you and your pathetic daughter. I'm going to destroy you. After tonight, no one will ever again question my powers. After tonight, if they speak of you, they'll only speak of how you... begged for death. And I, being a merciful Lord, obliged." Voldemort said.

"Get up!" Voldemort shouted. He put his hand over Harry's head, forcing him up. When Harry was off the ground, he walked over to me to try to save me but Voldemort stopped him, shooting a spell at him. Harry nearly dodged it.

"Don't you turn your back on me, Harry Potter! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!" Voldemort said. Without hesitation, Harry walked over to Voldemort. He stood face to face with him.

"Have it your way," Harry said.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry yelled—the spell shot from Harry's wand, heading towards Voldemort.

"Avada Kadavara!" Voldemort yelled. The killing curse shot towards Harry. When the spells met each other in between, the lights struggled back and forth. Harry could not release his spell because he was stuck. Voldemort's spell was getting closer and closer to Harry. Harry struggled to fight him off.

"Do nothing! He is mine to finish!" Voldemort yelled. The two continued struggling. Back and forth the spells were going. Now Harry's spell was getting closer to Voldemort.

"He's mine!" Voldemort yelled. Harry grunted in pain. Come on Dad, kill him! I screamed in my mind as the two continued fighting. When Harry's spell reached Voldemort's wand, I gasped when a ghost emerged. I looked closer to see that the ghost belonged to my friend, Cedric. Another ghost appeared from the wand but I couldn't tell who he was. Then, two more ghosts came out. Those ghosts belonged to my grandparents, Lily and James Potter.

My eyes filled up with tears as Lily's eyes met mine. She gave me a warm smile.

"Harry, when the connection is broken, you must get to the Portkey. We can linger to give you some time, but only a moment. Do you understand?" James said. Harry nodded.

"Harry. Take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my father." Cedric said. Harry nodded again.

"Let go. Sweetheart, you're ready. Let go. Let go!" Lily shouted. Harry let go of the spell. The spell broke apart, and the ghosts disappeared. Harry ran over to Cedric's body. My heart sank as he reached for the cup. Wasn't he going to save me?

"I'll be back for you, Lana! I promise! I love you!" Harry shouted.

"Accio!" Harry yelled. When the cup reached Harry, Harry disappeared. Voldemort was furious as he screamed in rage.

"NO!" Voldemort yelled. It stayed silent for a moment until Lucius spoke up.

"My Lord, what should we do?" Lucius asked.

Voldemort, lost in his own anger, yelled, "SHUT UP! YOU FAILED! ALL OF YOU FAILED! HE ESCAPED BEFORE I COULD KILL HIM! I WAITED 13 YEARS FOR THIS! I REFUSE TO WAIT ANY LONGER!"

Lucius cleared his throat. "My Lord, if I may. I might have a suggestion. We still have Harry's daughter. We could use her as a way to get to Harry." Lucius said. Voldemort's anger simmered as he listened to Lucius's suggestion.

"Yes. That's a good idea. Harry will come for her. Better yet, to make things quicker we can torture her for answers as to where Harry is so we can get to him faster." Voldemort said.

"No!" I screamed through the gag.

Voldemort chuckled evilly. "Come everyone. Let us go back to the manor. Lucius, grab her. Make sure she does not escape." Voldemort said. Lucius untied the ropes from my body but kept my hands tied together. With a wave of his wand, I felt my vision fading.

Within seconds, everything went black.
