            THE SKY HAD FALLEN. voldemort was back. elara somehow just knew that she had a huge role to play. she had been in the graveyard. she witnessed cedric die, she witnessed voldemort's return, she witnessed voldemort's victims crawl out of his wand, and she witnessed as they overpowered him. she felt tingly all over.

            "lara....? are you alright?" said someone's voice.

            "harry. i have to get to harry," elara's voice was filled with pure desperation.

            she pushed past many applauding people; they had not realized. she got yelled at. she didn't care. she reached the pitch and pushed past teachers and came to harry's side. he was sobbing over the body of cedric.

            "harry..." she whispered, resting a hand on his shoulder.

            "he's back," said harry through tears.

            "i know, i know," said elara quietly. "c'mere."

            harry was crying into elara's chest. his arms were wrapped around her middle. she had placed an arm around harry's head and was running her fingers through his hair in an attempt to soothe him. he cried for his mum and dad. he cried for bertha jorkins. he cried for the old man. he cried for cedric.

            "i won't leave you," elara tried. she wasn't sure harry heard her over the noise of the screaming crowd. "i'm right here. i'm with you 'til the end."

            elara held onto him as people argued. as girls were sobbing. as people were screaming. she refused to let go as someone pulled harry up and take him to the hospital wing. elara wasn't going to let go. no way, no way, no way.

             "what happened, harry?" the man asked at last as he brought the pair up the stone steps. it was mad-eye moody.

           "cup was a portkey," said harry as they crossed the entrance hall. "took me and cedric to a graveyard . . . and voldemort was there . . . lord voldemort . . ."

            they went up the marble stairs

            "the dark lord was there? what happened then?"

            the dark lord? elara tightened her grip on harry. only death eaters called voldemort the dark lord. the wheels inside her brain were turning. maybe it was a mistake
