42- Resurrection

"Kelly?"

Skyler takes a deep breath, realising that she's talking as a human. She concentrates and speaks with the gigantic snake in front of her.

"Kelly?" She asks again, causing the snake to stop.

"Mssssss. Ssssssskyler?" The snake swishes. Tears appear in Skyler's submerge blue eyes.

"W-where have you been?" She asks, emotional. Skyler never thought she'd see her old companion again. If the snake would've been able to shrug, it did just now, because her answer is so casual:

"I've been everywhere and nowhere... I couldn't go back to the ssschool groundsss, ssso I didn't." Kelly explains, moving over to Skyler's side.

"Do you know where the Cup is?" Skyler asks, her eyes still sparkling of emotion. The snake nods.

"Yesss. Follow me." Kelly says, slithering into the left passage.

After an hour of talking and walking, Skyler suddenly feels dizzy and sick. Her head feels heavy and her vision blurs.

"Msss? Your eyesss, they're turning gold..." Kelly's voice trails off, as another fills Skyler's head.

'Princess, Harry Potter is about to die. Lord Voldemort has returned. The Potter boy will die soon if you don't help him. His future – and yours are unclear. Be careful.' Heimdall speaks inside her head. Skyler freezes. This is a serious matter. She needs to go. Even if it means she won't come back. Lord Voldemort had returned. It could mean the end of the world if she didn't got there within a few minutes.

"Kelly, I need a favour." Skyler says, turning to the snake. The creature nods and Skyler summons a piece of paper and a quill. She writes a few words to Dumbledore:

'Professor, Lord Voldemort has returned. I don't know if I'll make it back. Don't tell anyone that I'm dead until you're sure. – inform Avengers Tower, please. Skyler.'

"Kelly, bring this to Dumbledore. Make sure only he gets it." Skyler tells her friend strictly, causing Kelly to look worried.

"What are you going to do, sssssssSkyler?" Kelly asks confused.

"I think I'm going to safe some people, Kel. Don't worry, I'll come back for you when I'm able to. I promise." With that answer, Skyler pulls up her sleeve, she touches the golden bracelet with sapphires and it starts to glow.

"Harry Potter." Skyler says, before disappearing in a blue light.

"NOW!" Skyler hears Harry yell over the field, seeing him and a pale, snake-like man having a bonding with their wands. Harry's spell is red, the snake-man's green. Ghost-like features cover the man, giving Harry the chance to escape.

'Avada Kedavra.' Skyler thinks. She suddenly realises who that man is. Lord Voldemort. Tom Marvelo Riddle. The Darkest Wizard of All Time. Skyler shivers as she sees Death Eaters. She sees a giant snake, who looks like Kelly, but darker and gloomier. Skyler sees how Harry runs towards a body and feels her heart ache. Cedric Diggory lies dead at Harry's feet. Tears form in her eyes, but Skyler knows that she doesn't have time. Lord Voldemort raises his wand at Harry's back, ready to cast a spell.

"No!" Skyler exclaims, as she casts a 'protego' between them.

"Stupify!" She yells, a red flash of light coming from her wand. Voldemort dodges it and a small, one-handed man is hit.
