Back at the arena Harry appears with Cedric's body and Y/n who still couldn't move. The crowd don't understand what has taken place and they all cheer, triumphant music starts to play. Harry weeps on Cedric's body. "Harry! Harry!" everyone cheers. Fleur notices what is really going on and screams and others start to notice whats happening and the cheers and music slowly dies down. Dumbledore tries to prize Harry from Cedric's body. "Tell me what happened!"

"He's back, he's back! Voldemort's back. Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him, not there!" he sobbed "I think Y/n is just petrified"

"It's alright Harry. It's alright, he's home, you all are." he tried to comfort Harry. He cast a spell and Y/n could now move again. She sat up quickly and looked around. She saw Harry sobbing uncontrollably and holding on Cedrics body. "Come here" she whispered pulling him into a hug. He immediately hugged her back.

"Keep everybody in their seats. A boy has just been killed" Dumbledor whispered to a professor

"The body must be moved Dumbledore, there are... to many people." Fudge intervened

"Let me through! That's my son! My boy!" said Cedric's dad rushing to his son's body. He breaks down wailing. The crowd look on distraught. Y/n's mother tried to go over to the two but before she could get to them Moody pulls them away.

Mad-Eye Moody enters and closes the door behind him. Harry is in the room still sobbing and Y/n is trying to comfort him. They sit. "Are you alright Potter? L/n?" They nod.

"Does it hurt?"

"Not so much now."

"The cup was a portkey. Someone had bewitched it." said Y/n now joining in their conversation

"What was it like? What was he like?"

"Who?" asked Harry

"The dark lord. What was it like to stand in his presence?"

"I dunno. It was like I'd fallen into one of my dreams. One of my nightmares."

Mad-Eye starts shaking and struggling for air, he reaches for his bottle but it's empty. He rushes to a chest with other bottles and struggles to find one. "Were there others? In the graveyard, were there others?"

"Um. I don't think I said anything about a graveyard Professor."

"Marvellous creatures dragons aren't they? Do you think that miserable oaf would have led you into the woods if I hadn't suggested it? Do you think Cedric Diggory would have told you to
hold the egg under the water if I hadn't have told him first myself? Do you think Neville Longbottom the witless wonder could have provided you with gillyweed if I hadn't have given him the book that led you straight to it? Huh??"

"It was you from the beginning. You put our names in the goblet of fire. You bewitched Krum. But..." Mad-Eye makes sobbing noises making fun of Harry.

"You two won because I made it so. You ended up in that graveyard tonight because it was meant to be so. And now the deed is done. The blood that runs through these veins runs within the dark lord. Imagine how he will reward me when he learns that I have once and for all silenced the great Harry Potter!" A flash of magic occurs and Mad-Eye is knocked into the wall.
Dumbledore and Severus come rushing in. Dumbledore takes Mad-Eye
by the neck...

"Severus..." Severus administers some veritaserum. Mad-Eye wriggles demonically.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Albus Dumbledore."

"Are you Alastor Moody? Are ya?"

"No."

"Is he in this room? Is he in this room?" They see a nod.

"Harry, Y/n get away from there!" Dumbledore approaches the chest. The chest opens, it contains a series of smaller chests. When the final chest is open they see that there's a pit within holding a man the real Alastor Moody. "Are you alright Alastor?"

"I'm sorry Albus.."

"That's Moody, but then who's...?" started Harry.Dumbledore holds up one of Mad-Eye's Bottles.

"Polyjuice potion." said Snape

"Now we know who's been stealing it from your store Severus." Dumbledore looks into the pit. "We'll get you up in a minute." Alastor Moody groans. The Mad-Eye Moody they have captive in
a chair begins to twitch about restlessly making strange noises. He appears to be transforming. He rips off his fake eyepiece which falls on the floor, they see that he's transformed into Barty
Crouch Junior.

"Barty Crouch Junior."

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours." Barty Jr. rolls up his sleeve to reveal a skull and snake marking. "You know what this means don't you? He's back. Lord Voldemort has returned!"

"Send an owl to Azkaban, think they'll find they're missing a prisoner." said Dumbledor

"I'll be welcomed back like a hero!"

"Perhaps. Personally, I've never had much time for heroes." said dumbledor

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was as you all know, exceptionally hard working, intricately fair minded. And most importantly a fierce fierce friend. I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, The ministry of magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues,our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events the bonds of friendship we made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain,you remember that. And we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end."

There's a large crowd gathered, the pupils are going home. Viktor Krum gives Hermione a kiss and hands her some paper.

"Write to me. Promise."

"Bye."

Ron is sitting alone. The french sisters approach him, they both
in turn give him a kiss on the head. "Au revoir Ron." said Fleur and she goes over to Y/n hugging her goodbye then The Beauxbatons girls leave in uniform, the crowd applauds. The
Durmstrang boys leave too, shaking hands as they go.

"Do you think we'll ever just have a
quiet year at Hogwarts?" asked Ron

"No." Harry, Hermione and Y/n replied at the same time

"Everything's going to change now isn't it?" said Hermione

"Yes."

"Promise you'll write this summer. All of you!"

"Well I won't. You know I won't!" joked Ron

"Harry and Y/n will won't you?"

"Yeah. Every week."

"I will Hermione dont worry" smiled Y/n at her best friends.

They look over the balcony, the flying horses pulling a carriage
head off into the distance as the Bulgarians' ship goes underwater.
