The last part of the tournament was today. Excited to see who wins, i really do its one of us, Cedric or Potter to be honest. I just want Hogwarts to win. As I got ready, i saw my father talking with Draco.

"Whats going on here?" I asked them. They turned to me.

"Nothing, just a friendly talk." My father says as he places a hand on Dracos shoulder. "Mr. Malfoy, do you mind if I talk to my daughter?"

"Uh no, go ahead professor. Ill see you in a bit Darling." He gives me a smile as he walks off. There was nobody in the room but us.

"Someone will talk to you. You have to stay here. Once its done, you come to me."

"Who wants to talk to me?" He looks down at me. I saw the guilt in his eyes. I closed my eyes. "Alright." I whispered. "Just tell Draco that ill be there soon."

"Of course." He takes one last look at me as he leaves. He did tried his best to tell Barty to not let her join, but he refused and said that Voldemort wanted her. There was no going back. Daphne sat down on the couch, staring at the paintings.

"Snape." I heard a whisper. My head peaked up. I saw movement in the fireplace. I saw Barty. I got closer and saw his face.

"What do you want?" I sassed.

"Lovely seeing you dear." He smirks. I just groaned.

"Tell me what you want."

"In a rush? Fine. At exactly 7, you'll meet Wormtail at the cemetery." I started breathing heavily. I didn't want to go back there. "Now now Daphne, nothing will happen to you, for now."

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

"Dont mind it. The lord himself asked me to tell you that you have a very important part in this game." Voldemort? He asked for me? "Youre going to do what wormtail asks you to do."

"And if i dont?"

"Your sweet father will take the hit." My heart sunk. Why do they have to use him? Thats where they got me. "You dont want that dont you dear?"

"Shove off." I spat, i had tears coming in. I grabbed the bowl of water and set the fire out. I charged out of the room and whimpering quietly. I wiped my tear as I started to see students. Acting as if there was nothing wrong. I got the bleachers and saw Draco saving me a seat.

"What happened?" My father asked me. I turned to him.

"Barty came." He straightens up. The two were huddled in the corner, whispering. Draco saw what was happening. Why have they gone so secretive? They're acting strange. He saw the way Daphne was, sacred, nervous. Daphne turns to her father, giving him a look as she walks to him. "Sorry im late."

"Its alright, your father said it was important." She clears her throat, looking ahead. Her leg was bouncing up and down, she played with rings. "Are you okay? Looks like you seen-"

"Im fine Draco." She looks at him, smiling. Part of the nerves calmed down. "Im okay." She placed her hand on his cheek. Music is playing and a large crowd is gathered. The champions came together.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory..." Dumbledore announced as he turns to him. The crowd cheer on hearing his name. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum..." The bulgarian crowd go nuts. "The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather round. The champions huddled around Dumbledore.
"On the count of three... ONE..."

The cannon goes off. Mr Filch shrugs comically. Dumbledore groans. Harry and Cedric enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes up behind Harry. I checked my watch, watching the time. 6:56. I have to go.

"Ill be back. I need to go to the restroom." I quickly walked away before Draco would say anything. I jogged down, my father looking back at me. I hid under the bleachers. I waved my wand and I appeared at the cemetery. The flashbacks came back. My heart started to go crazy.

"Here!" Wormtail threw me a robe and a mask.

"This is for?"

"Put it on and dont say a word." I followed him to the cave. I quickly put on the robe. "When you are told, you will do what I say."

"I wont be taking orders from a rat!" I growled at him.

"Not mine. His." I looked down in his arms. It was him. Voldemort. I covered my mouth and I bumped into someone. Its was Lucas. He pulls me to the side.

"You dont have to do this Daphne." He tells me.

"I have to. Or they'll kill my father." My voice cracked. His eyes saddens.

"Snape!" Wormtail yells.

"Im sorry but i dont have a choice." I put on my hood and mask. I stood by him. Dont be nervous Daphne. I saw Potter and Cedric.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Cedric points his wand at us.

"Kill the spare." I heard him whispered. Wormtail pushes me. I slowly took out my wand from my boot and pointed at Cedric. Potter took notice. I bit my lip. I dont want to do this. I dont want to kill him.

"Now!" I got scared. My hands were shaking. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see another woman, it wasn't Mrs. Malfoy. She looks at me and winks through her mask. She smelled like lavender with some fire whiskey.

"Avada-"

"Avada Kedavra!" She called out. Cedrics body spun and hit the ground. I froze. What did she do?

"Cedric!" Potter cries out. Cedric lays dead on the ground. The woman was gone as I looked back. I slowly backed up. Wormtail pulls Potter closer, a statue grabs hold of Potter and traps him.

"Do it, now!" Wormtail drops something into a cauldron, Harry watches on. Bones of the father, unwillingly given. A bone hovers in the air under Wormtail's control, he drops it into the cauldron. He takes a knife and slashes his arm over the cauldron. He takes the knife to Harry and cuts at his arm. Harry shouts. Wormtail takes the knife over to the cauldron and lets the drops fall into it. "The dark lord shall rise again." The cauldron bursts into flame and a reformed Voldemort emerges. My eyes widen. Did I just help him?

"My wand Wormtail."Wormtail hands him the wand and bows deeply. "Hold out your arm."

"Master. Thank you master." He praised him.

"The other arm Wormtail." Wormtail looks concerned, but does it anyway. Voldemort sticks the wand into Wormtail's arm. The sky changes, others have been summoned. Wormtail pushes me to them. "Welcome my friends. Thirteen years it's been, and yet you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself disappointed, not one of you tried to find me." Voldemort begins slashing angrily at the hooded figures. "Not even you, Lucius." He spins around and looks at me. Potter tried to see who I was. But barely can see. "You all have been doing this for thirteen years and done nothing right! And shes been here for months and she gets the job done" he points at me. i wanted to faint as he got closer to me. He lifted my mask. "You helped so much my dear. Your father and mother would be so ever proud." He placed his hand on my cheek. He scratches my cheek, leaving blood. "You should go, your fathers probably worried." Without a question, i waved my wand went back to under the bleachers. I fell down, throwing up. Sobbing.

"Get this off me!" I screamed through the music playing, struggling to get the robe off. My father comes in. I threw the mask off me. "Get this off!"

"Daphne." I ripped the cloak. I sat back crying to him.

"He wanted me to kill him." Who was that woman? I didn't want to. Why did she do it for me?

"Do what Daphne?"

"Kill Cedric." I looked at him. "If I didn't, he'll kill you." He looks at me. "I didn't kill him, someone did it for me. Hes back."

"Who?"

"Voldemort."

✷ ✷ ✷

I calmed myself, which was hard to do. I walked back to the stands, leaving my father, wiping my tears off of my cheeks. I sat down next to Draco.

"Where have you been?"

"Bathroom." He saw the scratch.

"Merlins Daphne, what happened to your cheek?" He turns my cheek the other way, looking at it.

"I wasn't paying attention and I cut myself with the branches." Harry appears with Cedric's body. The crowd didn't understand what has taken place and they all cheered, triumphant music starts to play. Harry weeps on Cedric's body. I slapped my mouth with hand.

"Get her out of here!" My father ran up the bleachers to Draco.

"That's my son! My boy!" I just went numb as Cedrics father cried over his body. Draco grabbed me and we ran away. We didn't go to the dorms, Draco pulls me into the potions classroom.

"What is going on with you?" I bit my finger, not looking at him, traumatized. "You've been weird all year, secret talks with your father, going off, dont get me started on the summer."

"I cant tell you." I whispered. My sad eyes met his. Draco saw how much pain she was in. "No matter how much I want to, i cant. I was forced to."

"Your father?" She shakes her head. "Who?" She doesn't say a thing. He steps up but she flinched. "Daphne, let me understand. Tell me so i can help you."

"I just cant lose you." She sobs. Her mark burned more. She let out a painful sob. He realized that for years, nobody said that they cant lose him, and Daphne was the first. Draco wanted to help her, he just didn't know how. He never did this before. He didn't know what to do. "Bad things will happen and I just I cant lose you..." she turns to him. "Can you hold me?" Draco ran up to her. She cries into his chest. She was cold. He kissed her forehead.

"I got you." He whispers to her. They stood there in each others arms. Daphne calmed down by his touch. Nothing will happen to her he promised.
