HP: Embrace the Darkness

The moment Cedric made his judgment, Harry's voice cut through the sky immediately after.

"Cedric, run!"

The giant spider used all eight legs at once and quickly approached Cedric. The fangs at the end of its chelicerae reflected the moonlight wetly.

poisonous!

Cedric immediately realized this, and immediately waved his wand to cast an armor spell on himself, and then threw a hindering spell at the giant spider to prevent it from approaching.

The giant spider's whole body is covered with a hard shell, and Cedric's attacks cannot harm it.

Despite the curse, the giant spider is still approaching.

Harry quickly ran to the other side and attacked the giant spider from behind, "Collapse!"

Cedric and him shouted almost at the same time: faint!

Two magic spells hit the giant spider one after another.

Aces hid in the dark, watching them hit the hardest spots, feeling speechless for a moment.

The giant spider finally stopped.

But instead of being comatose as Harry and Cedric expected, they were angry.

The tops of the gleaming steps were like pliers, and they grabbed the nearest Harry tyrannically, cutting off grass and trees wherever they passed.

Harry staggered and hid behind him, watching helplessly as the sharp pliers stopped less than a foot in front of him, unable to move forward.

Naturally, it was not Asseth who took action.

He was sure that Barty Crouch Jr. would not let anything happen to Harry here, so he planned to sit back and watch. Now that Barty Crouch Jr. intervened, he was not surprised at all.

For the rest of his life, Harry gasped urgently and cooperated with Cedric to blindly knock the giant spider unconscious and send it flying into a hedge not far away.

That location happened to be where Arthur felt Barty Crouch Jr. was hiding.

He could see clearly that as soon as the giant spider landed on the ground, under the cover of dust and trees, Little Barty used the Cutting Curse to cut off its eight legs, and then used the Death Curse to kill it.

The giant spider completely lost its vitality.

Aces shook his head regretfully, "These two people are still not careful enough. If there is no little Barty to finish, we don't know when they will die."

Everything is settled.

Harry and Cedric looked at the trophy at the same time.

At this time, the two of them were standing opposite each other, and the trophy stood quietly between them, almost the same distance from them.

Cedric was older and calmer after all.

He was the first to suppress his desire for the championship and broke the silence: "Harry, are you okay? Are you not injured?"

"I...I'm fine."

Harry secretly shifted all his weight to his uninjured foot and stood on one foot.

Try not to look so embarrassed.

"What about you? How are you?"

The two of them went back and forth to care about each other's injuries, and then fell silent.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Cedric raised his head with difficulty.

"Go get the trophy."

Once you say the hardest words to say, the next words seem less difficult to say.

Cedric smiled bitterly, but his tone was firm, "From Krum's attack to the giant spider, you have helped me a lot. Without you, I would have fallen under Krum's wand. Without you, I would have You can't beat the giant spider, so... go get the trophy, Harry."

Cedric selfishly gave up the most within-reaching honor of Hufflepuff for hundreds of years. Cedric didn't know if he was doing the right thing, and he didn't know if his father, the dean, and Hufflepuff classmates would blame him.

But his heart told him that he should do this.

He didn't want to go against his heart.

Outside the maze, Professor Sprout looked at Cedric, who was still young but had the courage to take responsibility and face himself, with a happy smile on his face.

This award is of course important to Hufflepuff, but more importantly is Cedric’s perseverance, integrity and kindness.

Enough is enough.

It's enough for this kid to get here with their expectations on his shoulders.

He is the pride of Hufflepuff.

After Digory was persuaded to come back by Professor McGonagall, he stood with Professor Sprout and paid attention to Cedric. Now he was smiling like Professor Sprout, not disappointed, and his expression was full of pride.

His son was always his pride.

Harry didn't go to get the trophy. He kept looking at Cedric, his eyes full of Cedric's warm smile and firm eyes.

"Let's go together." He said softly.

Cedric was stunned for a moment, and then heard Harry's second, more determined sentence.

"Let's go get the trophy together. Even if we tie this time, we are all Hogwarts students anyway, so it won't affect anything."

Facing Harry's sincere eyes, Cedric let out a slow breath, complicated and relieved, and then smiled gently and stretched out his hand towards Harry.

Their hands were clasped together.

The little wizards belonging to Hogwarts outside the field suddenly burst into fierce applause and cheers.

The championship is theirs!

Worried about Harry's feet, Cedric went over and let Harry put his hands on his shoulders.

The two supported each other and walked firmly towards the trophy. When they came to the trophy, Harry let go of his hand and stood face to face with Cedric.

"Let's go together."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and one of them reached out to hold the handle of the trophy.

Seeing that the two of them finally entered the topic, Asseth braced himself to pay attention to where they were going.

Hold the trophy handle with both hands.

The wind and clouds are surging, and the sand and rocks are flying.

The next second, everyone watched the two victorious warriors twist and disappear, the picture turned into boundless darkness, and the sound was harsh.

"Fuck-"

Everyone was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Where are Harry and the others going?"

"What is this, they are gone?"

"Merlin, that's a portkey, that trophy is a portkey, they were teleported away."

Hermione used the portkey at the Quidditch World Cup. The smart little witch reacted immediately and explained to Ron. The two of them ran down the stands and hurried towards the maze.

"What's going on! My son."

Digory got up and ran towards the maze at a loss, wanting to go in and find his son, even though he knew that the chance of finding Cedric in the maze was slim.

Professors McGonagall and Sprout went straight to Dumbledore.

Their expressions were serious.

Harry and Cedric were sent away at Hogwarts, and no one knew if anything would happen to them.

Dumbledore's expression was equally serious.

The Quidditch pitch was in chaos.

Snape looked condescendingly at Ron and Hermione running towards the maze. While he disliked their impulsiveness, he couldn't help but rub the ring gently with his fingertips.

He touched the ring many times, which was slightly cold, but could not soothe his fierce heartbeat.

Aces was right.

Barty Jr.'s purpose was to take Potter away, and the only person who could instigate Barty Jr. to do anything to him was that person.

He regretted it.

He should have stopped Asseth then.

Snape closed his eyes, forced himself to break away from regret, and thought about the inevitable question - what should they do if that person comes back?
