I close my eyes hoping this was all just a bad dream. That when I open them Cedric will be alive and Wormtail will be gone. But nothing. I put my hand over my mouth to quiet my sobs praying Wormtail doesn't hear me
The statue in front of the tomb moves, trapping Potter in its grasp
"Do it! Now!" the eerie voice commands
"Bone of the father, unwillingly given" Wormtail starts
"Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed." he continues as he severed his hand off
"Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken." he rips Potters sleeve and takes his from his already bleeding wound. It was unbearable to watch, I was still curled up on a ball hoping he wouldn't see me
"The dark lord shall rise, again!" Wormtail exclaims as he drops the blood into his cauldron and burst into flames
"My wand Wormtail," someone says.
No, it can't be. The Dark Lord.
"Hold out your arm" he simply says
"Master. Thank you, master" Wormtail grins
"The other arm Wormtail" the Dark Lord scowls
He presses his wand on Womrtails mark. Suddenly a black cloud was formed in the sky in the shape of a skull. Things flying out of its mouth
"Welcome my friends, thirteen years it's been, and yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday." The Dark Lord says
"I confess myself...disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me"
"Crabbe!" he shouts taking their masks off one by one. Each kneeling down
"Macnair!"
"Goyle!"
"Not you. Mendoza!"
"Nor you. Lucius!"
God damn it. He's here. They're both here.
"My lord. If I detected any sign, a whisper of your whereabouts—" Lucius says
"There were signs, my slippery friend. And more than whispers" The Dark Lord says as he walks towards my father
"I assure you, my lord, I have never renounced the old ways," Father says as he takes his hat off
"The face I have been obliged to present each day, since your...absence" he continues as he looks at Potter, and I'm pretty sure he saw me too
"Shit" I mumble as I lean back, hiding once again
"That is my true mask" he continues
I just wanted this to be over. I wanted to be with my friends. With Draco. I didn't want to have to look at Cedric's dead body as I try to tune out my father's voice.
"Oh, such a handsome boy" the Dark Lord grins as he pushes Cedric's face with his foot as a scoot further back, trying not to be spotted
