Chapter 33
Harry looked at me in shock, i looked at professor snape in shock. Professor Dumbledore stood up. He stared down at Barty Crouch for a moment with disgust on his face. Then he raised his wand once more and ropes flew out of it, ropes that twisted themselves around Barty Crouch, binding him tightly. He turned to Professor McGonagall.
"Minerva, could I ask you to stand guard here while I take Harry upstairs?."
"Of course," said Professor McGonagall. She looked slightly nauseous, as though she had just watched someone being sick. However, when she drew out her wand and pointed it at Barty Crouch, her hand was quite steady.
"Severus" - Dumbledore turned to Snape - "please tell Kaitlyn already about his father. Then after that please tell Madam Pomfrey to come down here; we need to get Alastor Moody into the hospital wing. Then go down into the grounds, find Cornelius Fudge, and bring him up to this office. He will undoubtedly want to question Crouch himself. Tell him I will be in the hospital wing in half an hour's time if he needs me." Dumbledore says calmly.
Snape nodded silently and swept out of the room with me. We went to his office i sit at the chair in front of his desk and he sits on his chair.
"So i know your grandma already told you about your father, so i guess its my time to tell you about your father so you might already know or guessed, but your father is Tom Riddle or known as lord voldemort and now i want you to be safe" says professor snape.
"Should i be scared or happy that im gonna see him in time or what?" I asked him.
"You don't have to be scared Kaitlyn he's not back after all" says professor snape.
"What if im just like him? You know evil?" I said.
"Kaitlyn Ellianna, your not like your father you have a soft heart just like your mother you have your own personality" says professor snape.
I smiled and get up and hug him. "Thank you" i said pulling back.
"Anytime go sleep now" he said.
I nodded and went back to the common room, i went to my room change into my pajamas and lays on my bed after thinking of what happen today I finally fall asleep. The next day chloe woke me up saying there will be a funeral ceremony for cedric i put my uniform on and brush my teeth and went out of my room.
"Are you ok?" Draco asked me once i got out of my room.
"Yea lets go to the greathall?" He asked.
"Yes" i said with nervousness on my voice. After eating breakfast draco talked with his friends from the durmstrang i went to the wooden bridge to get some fresh air I remember cedric again tears are coming out from my eyes.
"Lyn" i heard chloes voice.
I wiped my tears fast. "Hey" i said.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Oh uhm yea just recalled some memories" i said.
"Alright do you wanna go walk around maybe go to the library?" She asked.
"Yes is the answer" i said and laughed.
We walk to the library and get some book to read we've been talking for hours and hours i dont know if i should tell her about who my father really is what if it ruins our friendship? I shrugged it off we didn't know what time is it we just went to the greathall after we heard professor Mcgonagall's voice saying dinner is ready and there will be a ceremony for cedric.
"How long have we been here in the library?" Chloe asked and laugh.
I shrugged and laugh we put the books back and as we are walking in the hallway we saw draco, draco came up to me and kiss my forehead i smiled at him and we walked to the great hall and the ceremony begins, i saw cho crying, harry looked sad and its like he's about to say something but he can't blurt it out as well as Hermonie and ron. Professor Dumbledore, who stood up at the staff table. The Great Hall, which in any case had been less noisy than it usually was at the Leaving Feast, became very quiet.
"The end," said Dumbledore, looking around at them all, "of another year."
He paused, and his eyes fell upon the Hufflepuff table. Theirs had been the most subdued table before he had gotten to his feet, and theirs were still the saddest and palest faces in the Hall.
"There is much that I would like to say to you all tonight," said Dumbledore, "but I must first acknowledge the loss of a very fine person, who should be sitting here," he gestured toward the Hufflepuffs, "enjoying our feast with us. I would like you all, please, to stand, and raise your glasses, to Cedric Diggory."
We did it, all of us the benches scraped as everyone in the Hall stood, and raised their goblets, and echoed, in one loud, low, rumbling voice, "Cedric Diggory."
I caught a glimpse of Cho through the crowd. There were tears pouring silently down her face. I saw harry too he looked down at the table as they all sat down again.
"Cedric was a person who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuff house," Dumbledore continued. "He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker, he valued fair play. His death has affected you all, whether you knew him well or not. I think that you have the right, therefore, to know exactly how it came about."
Harry raised his head and stared at Dumbledore.
"Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort."
A panicked whisper swept the Great Hall. People were staring at Dumbledore in disbelief, in horror. He looked perfectly calm as he watched them mutter themselves into silence.
"The Ministry of Magic," Dumbledore continued, "does not wish me to tell you this. It is possible that some of your parents will be horrified that I have done so - either because they will not believe that Lord Voldemort has returned, or because they think I should not tell you so, young as you are. It is my belief, however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies, and that any attempt to pretend that Cedric died as the result of an accident, or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory."
Stunned and frightened, every face in the Hall was turned toward Dumbledore now...or almost every face. Over at the Slytherin table. I heard Draco muttering something to Crabbe and Goyle. I look back at Dumbledore.
"There is somebody else who must be mentioned in connection with Cedric's death," Dumbledore went on. "I am talking, of course, about Harry Potter."
A kind of ripple crossed the Great Hall as a few heads turned in Harry's direction before flicking back to face Dumbledore.
"Harry Potter managed to escape Lord Voldemort," said Dumbledore. "He risked his own life to return Cedric's body to Hogwarts. He showed, in every respect, the sort of bravery that few wizards have ever shown in facing Lord Voldemort, and for this, I honor him."
Dumbledore turned gravely to Harry and raised his goblet once more. Nearly everyone in the Great Hall followed suit. They murmured his name, as they had murmured Cedric's, and drank to him. But through a gap in the standing figures. Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and many of the other Slytherins had remained defiantly in their seats, their goblets untouched. Dumbledore, who after all possessed no magical eye, did not see them.
When everyone had once again resumed their seats, Dumbledore continued, "The Triwizard Tournament's aim was to further and promote magical understanding. In the light of what has happened - of Lord Voldemort's return - such ties are more important than ever before."
Dumbledore looked from Madame Maxime and Hagrid, to Fleur Delacour and her fellow Beauxbatons students, to Viktor Krum and the Durmstrangs at the Slytherin table. Krum, Harry saw, looked wary, almost frightened, as though he expected Dumbledore to say something harsh.
"Every guest in this Hall," said Dumbledore, and his eyes lingered upon the Durmstrang students, "will be welcomed back here at any time, should they wish to come. I say to you all, once again - in the light of Lord Voldemort's return, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.
"It is my belief- and never have I so hoped that I am mistaken - that we are all facing dark and difficult times. Some of you in this Hall have already suffered directly at the hands of Lord Voldemort. Many of your families have been torn asunder. A week ago, a student was taken from our midst.
"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."
The next day my trunk was already packed i saw draco and chloe were waiting in the crowded entrance hall with the rest of the fourth years for the carriages that would take them back to Hogsmeade station. It was another beautiful summer's day. we got in the train we sat on out usual sits i sat at the window sit draco sat beside me chloe in front of us.
"Where's Blaise and pansy?" I asked.
"They said they wanted to have a alone time" says chloe.
"Ew" i said.
The trolley came.
"Every chocolates please" says draco.
The girl put the chocolates on our table and draco pays for it.
"Eat" he said.
Chloe and i grab some chocolate and its it.
"Thanks" i said.
"Anything for you" says draco.
"You're so cheesy" i said and laugh.
"Not me third wheeling again" says chloe.
We laughed, we arrived at the platform we went out of the train i saw narcissa waiting for draco she walks up to us and smiled.
"How's the fourth year?" She asked.
"Good" i said and smiled.
"Very well" she said.
"I'll visit your manor sometimes" says draco.
"I will be expecting you" i said and laugh.
"Can you apparate on your own dear?" Says narcissa.
"Yes" i nodded and got my things.
Narcissa hug me and i hugs back. "Take care, stay safe" she whispered.
"Bye lia" says draco and hugs me.
"Bye" i hugs back and pulled back i waved goodbye and apparate to the simmons manor.
"Pinky im home" I said.
"Pinky is here! Welcome home lyn" says pinky.
"Pinky can you make dinner I'll just put my bags at my room" i said.
"Pinky will do Kaitlyn" says pinky and make her way to the kitchen.
"Thank you" i said and made my way up to my bedroom.
I put my clothes at the laundry and fix every mess, i change into some comfortable clothes and went to my grandmas room and look around. I miss her how can i live without her? Why didn't i saw that she's getting weak? I looked around her room and saw a letter.
To Kaitlyn,
That lord voldemort is Lucius' bestfriend...
-grandma
then it hit me
"So if your why Lucius is here last night its because he knows what happened to your parents. Lucius is one of your dad's bestfriend he went here to see you cause the last time he saw you you're still a baby your parents are attacked by james he thinks your parents are death eaters but dont worry they're not and Lucius knows it and he respects your father's decision on not joining them cause they're bestfriends"
"But why did she change the story?" I whispered to my self.
"Cause you're still young and as you know the story she doesn't want you to be afraid she wanted you to stand out and be brave" i heard professor snape's voice.
