It really didn't even surprise me that Sirius and Remus would complain and pout in the letter they sent me a day after the Yule Ball since once again the Daily Prophet had me plastered over the front concerning the Ball.
"I am going to kill all of you." I muttered with a glare as my friends laughed lightly causing me to pout and cuddle further into Cedric's arms.
"Well can you blame us? I mean you have to admit it's kind of funny if you saw someone else lose a fight against a fake golden egg." Nev said with a slight shrug making Cedric chuckle even as he tightened his arms around me.
"I know what I have to do for the next Task so there!" I threw back childishly making them laugh even harder before both Hannah and Susan left having gained a date each with Seamus and Dean from Gryffindor who were also good friends of ours.
"Which is why you asked me to get you some Gillyweed isn't?" Nev asked with a knowing look which was hella rude!
"You make me sound devious when you say it like that!" I fake scolded with a pout causing Nev to condescendingly pat my head making snap my teeth at him in warning.
"Alright think that is enough you two." Cedric said with a laugh as he lightly smacked Nev on the back of the head, my hero.
SECOND TASK! ~
It was fucking freezing out making me thank the Gods for the invention of warming charms as I stood there before the lake in a one piece golden yellow swimsuit while Fleur wore a silver one and Krum wore a pair of black and red swim trunks and matching top with his name on the back of it.
"WELCOME TO THE SECOND TASK OF THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!! FOR THE SECOND TASK OUR CHAMPIONS WILL HAVE TO BRAVE THE BLACK LAKE AND TAKE BACK WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN THE HOUR THAT THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN!" Ludo Bagmen shouted with a large smile making me bite back a sneer.
"ON THE COUNT OF THREE! ONE! TWO! AND..... THREE!" Ludo Bagmen shouted letting off sparks from his wand to signal the start causing me to eat the Gillyweed before diving into the water as it began to take effect.
"Fuck all of them and let all the judges drown." I muttered darkly once the Gillyweed took full effect allowing me to breath underwater as I took off for the Merpeople cove like area that Cedric was being held at.
"She really is useless." I said with a roll of my eyes as I noticed Fleur begin to be dragged deeper by Grindlelow's making me sigh since I knew this meant I now had to save not only Cedric but Fleur's little sister also.
"Go fuck yourselves!" I snarled to the Merpeople as I fought to get both Cedric and the little girl free before using pure magic to send us speeding toward the surface as Krum passed me by with Hermione.
LATER THAT NIGHT! ~
It was unbelievable that I ended up in first place since I had rescued two people from the Black Lake instead of one, but I also knew this meant that the time to fully take out Riddle was here leaving me in a mixed feelings of emotions.
"You'll make it through this." Cedric reassured as he pulled me into his arms as we curled up in the bed in the R.O.R as we had done early this year.
"Of course I will, especially since I have my Blue Eyes standing beside me through it all." I shot back with a smile of my own making him let out a light laugh.
THIRD TASK! ~
One thing I was happy about was having collected the skin of the Basilisk, and I do mean all of it, allowing me to send it to Sirius to have a pair of pants, corset like top, boots, gloves, and cloak with hood made from it with Runes and spells to grow a few more times with me.
"You look really amazing, sexy as hell." Cedric said with a smirk eyes heating up as they roamed over my clothed form making me smirk in pride and vanity.
"Thank you." I said simply as we left to join the others for breakfast though Sprout did pull me away to meet with Sirius and Remus who ended up joining us at the Hufflepuff table with wide smiles.
"You got this in the bag!" Sirius said with a smirk making me laugh while the others nodded in agreement though Remus had rolled his eyes.
"IN FIRST PLACE BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER THE MAZE FIRST IS OUR OWN HOGWARTS CHAMPION DOREA POTTER-BLACK!" Bagmen shouted and with only a slight glance back to see Sirius, Remus, Cedric, and Nev with my friends cheering me own did I race in.
"Let's get this shit over with." I said softly before using a point me spell to help me get through the maze only being slowed down by a boggart and spider before finally reaching the area having noticed the red sparks showing Fleur and likely Krum were out.
ENTERING THE GRAVEYARD! ~
I knew I had to let the ritual happen in order to deal with Riddle since he had to have a whole body while also giving me a chance to reach for the small dagger dipped in Basilisk venom from my inner wrist holster.
"Yadayadayada..." I said from where I was forced to hang from the grave of Tom Riddle Sr, honestly I wondered if he ever shut up, the fucking drama queen.
"Ah yes Dorea Potter.." Riddle began but I had finally cut free and with a bit of magic did I send the dagger straight for Nagini as I rushed at Riddle with my wand drown in one hand and a newly summoned Slytherin Sword in the other.
"I find it fitting that Slytherin's Sword shall be what ends you." I muttered having moved to fast for him to really react what with the ritual leaving him distorted and weak enough for this to even work.
"I WILL BE BACK!" Riddle snarled making me laugh out loudly right in his face even as I sunk the sword deeper into his chest and twisted it.
"I already dealt with the Horcrux's Riddle; you are done. This is for my parents." I said harshly yanking the sword free before swinging it to behead him.
HOGWARTS GROUNDS! ~
"AND THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT IS DOREA POTTER-BLACK!! OH MY MERLIN!!" Bagmen began only to cut off with a shriek as I appeared with the cup in one hand and Riddle's head in the other. Pettigrew I had stunned and placed in the magical pouch at my side to give to Sirius and Remus.
"TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE WHO YOU KNOW AS LORD VOLDEMORT IS GONE! I HAVE DESTROYED THE MEANS HE USED TO STAY ALIVE AND ANCHORED TO THIS WORLD AND NOW I HAVE FINALLY ENDED HIM FOR THE FINAL AND LAST TIME!" I shouted loudly causing the whole stadium to fall silent at my words.
"AND AS THE ONE WHO HAS WON I CLAIM AS MY RIGHT THE ONES WHO HAD ONCE FOLLOWED RIDDLE! SO MOTE IT BE!" I shouted again and by doing this I could punish them as I saw fit with the DMLE having no say in it.
"You really are amazing, then again Nev and I did deal with Barty Jr." Cedric said softly as I stalked to where my family stood even as I briefly held the head of Voldemort up for all to see and know.
