As far as she was concerned, there was nothing special about Cassidy Winters. She's simply a girl who drinks far too much coffee than she would like to admit and reads books to escape her life as an unwanted orphan. Then, when she appears in a world...

Cassidy's POV:
When we got back to the Burrow the next morning, Mrs. Weasley showered us with hugs. She went on about how worried she had been and more about how the twins had fought with her before they left.
I spent the rest of my time at the Burrow preparing for Hogwarts and the year to come. I had begun to work on a plan to save Cedric but I always had the problem of 'Moody'.
He could see through the Invisibility Cloak, so I couldn't sneak into the maze and stop Cedric from touching the cup.
I also couldn't stop Cedric or Harry's name from being put into the Goblet since the changes would be too drastic.
Lastly, I couldn't stop the portkey from being used at all since we needed the blood bond between Voldemort and Harry. In all, my stay at the Burrow was a bit stressful.
One day Harry had come into Ginny's room while I was packing alone and asked me a few questions.
"Hey, Cass"
"Hey, Harry," I responded with a smile.
"The night of the attack..." He began. My smile slowly fell off my face and I turned back towards my trunk. I had been avoiding any questions that related to that event.
Too many thoughts came to mind when I thought about my beloved birthday. Definitely not my favorite.
"Before the game," Harry continued, "You had gone into the tent...What happened?"
I closed my trunk and turned to him, "Nothing happened, why?"
Harry stared at me and I could tell by the look on his that he most definitely did not believe me.
"Cassidy," He said solemnly. "You know that I'm just worried about you"
"I know," I said quietly before shrugging, "It's all okay now. The night ended. I'm okay, Harry."
"No, you're not," He pushed.
"Harry, I'm fine. I'm figuring it out!"
"Cass, you don't need to do it alone! Ron's here- Hermione's here- I'm here!"
"Harry, you know I have to do this alone," I reasoned. "You of all people should know. I can't tell you or anyone else. I don't know what it'll change. Look, I promised that I would tell you what I could and I can't tell you this. It would change too much! But Harry, trust me, I am doing my best-"
"-and I've been doing my best to not ask questions, Sid. So, can you just try to answer a few for me? Please?" Harry said pleadingly.
After a moment of thinking, I gave in, "Fine, we can play truth hour. But if I can't answer it, I won't."
