Prologue
Harry and Cedric both wanted the other person to take the Triwizard cup. But, they were very well aware of the fact that the other one will be hesitant to take it. So Harry proposed, "How about together? At the count of three we both take the cup". Seeing no harm in it Cedric nodded and said, "On the count of three". With that they both got ready and Harry counted, "One...Two...THREE!!!". With that they ran to the centre of the maze and took the cup. They were swirled into a vaccum, which they already expected as the portkey will take them to the podium.
But, when they landed, they were completely shocked. What they saw around them wasn't the stands with students applauding or fireworks. What they saw was a dark lonely place full of dubious statues and tombstones. They realised that it was a graveyard. Cedric was the first to compose himself asked Harry, "Is this somekind of a task?", which Harry dismissed by shaking his head. They started to surveil the area that was when Harry saw a specific tombstone. His blood ran cold at seeing the name on the tombstone. "TOM RIDDLE".
Getting out of the shock, Harry turned to Cedric and said, "It's a trap, we need to get out of here now. Where is the cup?". Before Cedric could answer, they heard a voice from far left side. Raising his wand Cedric turn around and asked who was there. That was when an ugly man whom Harry hasn't seen since the of last year, Peter Pettigrew came from the dark, holding something like a baby in his hand. At seeing that thing, Harry felt a sharp pain in his scar. That along with the voice that came after it, "KILL THE SPARE!", was enough for Harry to recognise it was Voldie.
Upon seeing the green light coming from Peter's wand and a completely shocked Cedric near him, Harry did the one thing he could think of, ie. to push Cedric out of the even the pain was excruciating. Even though he pushed him out of the way, what neither Harry nor Voldie expected was the curse to hit Harry himself. When Harry saw the green light hit him, he knew exactly what that curse is and what it could do to you. He could hear a faint call or shout of his name by Cedric, he could also hear a NO coming from Voldie. All these voices were slowly fading as the black was consuming him more and more. Harry realised at that moment, if this is death, then it is quick and painless.
After what felt like an eternity Harry slowly opened his eyes. It was completely white around him. He saw a setting like the King's Cross Station. But, here everything was white, even the tracks and there were no trains. He thought this might be heaven and he slowly started to enjoy the view. His thoughts were interuppted by a voice from his behind, "Hello Dear". Harry turned around to see the moment that he has always wanted to see in his life. Standing in front of him was a woman of her early 20s with fair skin, red hair and a very specific pair of vibrant green eyes recognising who it was Harry said, "MOM?".
