Chosen

Chapter 19

Amos Diggory made his way up he stairs and into the bleachers, he spotted me and smiled.

"Anyxus! I haven't seen you since the last task! How are you?" He exclaimed

"I'm fine thanks! I suppose Cedric has told you?"

"Ahh yes, it was only a matter of time before you two got together. I always knew you were the one, and I have to say that I am very glad that Cedric chose you!"

"I'm very happy also!" I grinned at him. He looked down at my neck.

"I suppose Cedric gave you this?" I nodded. "It was his mother's. She gave it to him to give to someone special." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Have you opened it yet?"

"No, It doesn't seem to budge. Although, I'll have Cedric open it later."

"Well it was nice talking to you Anyxus, I hope to be seeing more of you."

"I'm sure you will. Goodbye Amos!" I said and he took a seat couple rows down.

We waited and waited until about ten minutes later, there were red sparks in the sky. My eyes widened. Hermione must have noticed.

"I'm sure it wasn't him, Nyx, stop worrying." She rubbed my shoulder. I nodded.

"I'd be worried if I were you Nyx, Diggory doesn't stand a chance in this tournament." Malfoy commented. I turned around to face him once again.

"Oh really? That completely explains why he won first place last task, and I don't see you winning anything special you lousy twat." I scolded.

"You know Nyx-"

"Shut up Draco." Blaise interrupted.

"Excuse me?" Draco looked pissed.

"I said shut up, you're obviously upsetting her, can't you just leave her alone for five minutes? Honestly?" Blaise shook his head in annoyance. Wow, he really has changed. Draco didn't reply back, so I shot a smile at Blaise and turned around.

We were about thirty minutes in when suddenly I felt a burning pain on my left forearm, near my wrist. We all know what that means, The Dark Lord was calling his death eaters. I wasn't to go, I couldn't blow my cover. I would just have to endure the burning and stinging pain for a while longer. We waited longer and longer then what seemed like and hour later did Harry and Cedric show up. I then jumped out of my seat and cheered them on. The music started up again and Fleur screamed. I stopped smiling and walked down the stairs slowly. "What's going on?" a boy said. They were whispers all around the stadium. Dumbledore tried to pry Harry off of Cedric, he only yelled at him to stop. Just then did I realize that the love of my life was gone. Cedric was dead.

"CEDRIC!!!" I screamed bloody murder running down the steps. The twins tried to hold me back along with Mr. Weasley.

"LET GO!" I struggled finally ripping free of their grip. I ran up to Cedric and Harry. I got on my knees and touched Cedric face, shaking uncontrollably. "Cedric, wake up." I lightly slapped his face. Tears were rolling down my cheeks by now. "Wake up, I'm here now like I promised." Amos Diggory then came into the scene crying too. I yelled out in pain. Cedric was gone. I rested my head on his chest and weeping and weeping. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Miss Thyme?" Professor McGonagall whispered. "Anyxus, let's take you to the Hospital Wing." I didn't answer, maybe because I was in shock. I just couldn't get my voice to say anything. "Oh, Albus, should we go and fetch Madame Pomfrey?" she said worried. I zoned out everything else. Amos had been taken away, from the scene. I on the other hand, would not budge. "Miss Thyme, it's Madame Pomfrey, I think it would be wise to come with me." She rubbed my back sweetly. I had been crying for so long, all that came out was silent tears.

"The body must be moved Dumbledore, too many people!" The Minister whisper/yelled.

"She won't budge, she's in too much pain Cornelius! Even Madame Pomfrey tried!" McGonagall assured.

"Well, does she have any friends that might help her? We need to move the body!"

"Yes, she had quite a few. Miss Granger?" he voice faded off.

"It's going to be okay Cedric." I whispered. Another hand gently touched my back.

"Nyx." She whispered to me. "Nyx....I think you should come with me. It's going to be okay, Nyx." This made me cry even harder. She rubbed my back as Madame Pomfrey did. "Nyx, please?"

"That will do Miss Granger." Dumbledore said making her go away.

"We need to force her away, Albus! We have no other choice!" Fudge replied. I suddenly felt many arms around me pulling me away from Cedric. "NOOO! DON'T TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM! I NEED HIM!" I screamed fighting through their arms. I was too weak to win this fight. I was forced a sleeping draught as I silently cried whispering Cedric's name. Everything then went black.
