Hello, hope you've had a good week. I'm afraid I got lost of the days now that my siblings are free from school. Hope you like this chapter.
Love,
Liria
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes' time, I will be asking you to make your way down to the Quidditch field for the third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament. Will the champions please follow Mr. Bagman down to the stadium now." (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 31, Page 619)
Ron hugged his brother and murmured in his ear, "Brother, before you touch the cup with Cedric tell him to be alert. There's another thing waiting for you after you touch it." After they separate Ron says in a normal tone of voice "Good luck, mate! Stay safe, we'll see you at the other side"
"Harry, do be safe. Remember it doesn't matter if you win, the important thing is for you to be alive. Keep in check your saving people thing," begged Hermione with tears in her eyes. She gives him a Hermy hug and whispers "We love you, brother. Don't you ever forget that, you have to come back to us. You won't ever be alone. In the summer you are coming to my parent's and everything will be okay, I promise."
~OoO~
"Cedric before we touch the cup I need you to know that the moment we touch this cup it won't end the tournament. Ron has this ability to predict certain things. And he told me we are going to touch the cup together and to stay alert." said Harry to the older boy.
"My cousin said something similar. She said to duck down the moment I hear a voice that isn't yours and act like I'm dead. I think you'd like her."
"Then, introduce us after this is all over and we are safe. But If I die tonight, I need you to promise to be there for Ron and Hermione… please."
"You won't die tonight, Harry." declared Cedric with a finalised tone.
"But if I do, please, promise me that." Begged Harry.
"Of course I will, but if I were to give my last breath today. Take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my parents. . . bring my body back." Harry nodded sternly.
"On three, right?" said Harry. "One — two — three —" He and Cedric both grasped a handle." (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 31, Page 635)
~OoO~
Ron and Hermione felt something wrong was going on. After the red sparks, things seem to have calmed down but now Harry's distress had skyrocketed and it wasn't normal. In the almost seven months since the ritual they had never felt Harry's emotions this strongly. And that's counting the second task when he saw the both of them in the depths of the Black Lake. Ron and Hermione shared a look and took off running to find Dumbledore.
"Professor Dumbledore, we need to talk to you!" blurted Hermione trying to catch her breath. She really should start at least jogging around the neighbourhood this summer. Albus Dumbledore had always given the impression of a whimsical man, but surely for something this concerning he would take it seriously.
"Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley, what is this about?" Asked Professor Mcgonagall.
"It's okay Minerva. It'll only take a few minutes." Dumbledore stood up and made the motion with his head for the siblings to follow him.
"Professor, something is wrong. They should've been out of the maze right now.", begged Ron with desperation. For this man, the most powerful wizard of his time, to do something, anything to save his brother. He could feel Harry's terror and he wouldn't stand losing his brother for the entertainment of wizards who never saw him as human.
"Mr. Weasley, I understand that you are scared for your friend but I assure you that the maze is perfectly safe." Said Dumbledore with his grandfatherly voice but to Hermione's ears it felt like a condescending trick he used at every dinner party.
"You mean as safe as when Harry had to fight a thousand year old basilisk? Or when his name was called by the Goblet fire? I apologise sir. It might be my muggle heritage but I know Harry is in grave danger right now and mark my words it'll be the biggest disservice for the magical world not to do something right now." argued Hermione.
"Miss Granger, I assure you everything will be fine. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back soon before they arrive." With that Dumbledore left.
"I'll never forgive that man if Harry has even a scratch caused by Voldermort." vowed Hermione.
"So will I sister. So will I." Ron whispered as she watched his eyes darken.
