The Hidden Truth

The Plan

We landed in front of the maze, and everyone started cheering for us. I then started screaming "He's back!" over and over again at the top of my lungs. Dumbledore came over to us and tried to pull me away from Cedric, but Cedric's arm wrapped around me as he turned over so that he was on top of me covering me from Dumbledore.

"Cedric my boy, it's alright. I won't hurt Harry. I just need to know what happened and we need to get yall to Madam Pomfrey." Dumbledore said, now trying to pull Cedric from me. Cedric sat up, still holding me to him.

"Fine. But Harry stays with me the entire time." Cedric responded to Dumbledore as he stood up and pulled me with him. Dumbledore nodded his head and started leading us to the hospital wing. When we got there Dumbledore was called out to deal with some stuff and Mad Eye Moody walked in, closing the curtain behind him. He quickly sent a stunning spell towards Cedric, but Cedric blocked it with the pretego charm.

"Enough Barty. Your order to kill me has been revoked." I said as Moody turned towards me. "The dark lord is back to his sanity and told me that he was revoking your order. He even gave me this choker so you would know I was not lying." I said allowing him to see the choker around my neck. Moody looked at me for a moment debating whether or not I was lying.

The next day me and Cedric got the day off, so we went to visit Barty. We walked into the room, as Cedric let down his act and walked away from me to pour him some tea.

"How much poly juice potion do you have left?" I asked Barty as he was grading papers. He looked up at me for a split second before responding.

"I have enough until the end of the year." He said still looking at the papers. Barty was marking all of the tests correctly except for mine and Draco's. Apparently, Lucius payed for Draco to have all A's in his class while Tom most likely told him to mark all my tests as A's.

"Good. Remember, if you get caught, you will be in a lot of trouble with Tom." I said as I leaned on his desk. He looked up at me and scowled.

"The dark lord doesn't allow anyone to call him by his birth name." He said still looking at me. Cedric pulled out his wand at this and pointed it towards Barty.

"Don't you dare say that to him ever agai-"

"Cedric, it's alright. He doesn't know." I said now standing up and turning towards Barty. I looked over at Cedric to make sure he lowered his wand before turning back towards Barty. "I get to call the dark lord Tom, because I am his soulmate. If you don't believe me, I could always floo him and he could explain. But he doesn't like his time being wasted."

Barty looked at me with wide eyes and went back to grading papers. A few moments passed and we heard a knock on the door. Cedric rushed to my side as Barty drank some poly juice from his flask. He then ran and opened the door only to reveal Dumbledore standing in the doorway. "Is Harry in there? Some students said he saw him and Cedric come this way earlier." He said as he smiled at Barty. Barty stepped out of the way and me and Cedric walked to the door, Cedric in front of me. "Ah, I would like to speak with you boys about what happened last night." Dumbledore said still smiling like a fool. I nodded and me and Cedric followed him to his office.

Once we reached the headmaster's office, we explained that Voldemort was back and that we barely escaped from there, Cedric grabbing me and the Triwizard cup as a green light came shooting towards us, it barely missing me by a few centimeters. Dumbledore believed us.
