===May 20 1995===
The Goblet of Fire, enchanted as a portkey, delivers Cedric, still polyjuiced as Harry, to a graveyard. He appears a few feet above the ground and falls hitting hard. The resulting impact causes Cedric to lose hold of both his wand and the Goblet.
Cedric immediately goes to grab his wand when a raspy voice says. "Stop him!"
Suddenly a foot crushes Cedric's hand. Cedric screams as the other foot kicks the Goblet away. Cedric looks up and sees the ratty-looking form of Peter Pettigrew standing on his hand, bent over and grabbing his wand.
Peter points Cedric's own wand at him as Peter gets off Cedric's hand. "Sit up!" Cedric complies and Peter casts a spell trying him up.
"Let's begin!" The raspy voice says again.
Cedric looks in the direction of the raspy voice, all he sees is a large cauldron sitting on a fire. He shifts slightly and feels the dagger that Harry strapped to his back.
===Flashback===
Harry and Cedric enter the blind spot. "Okay, we can't be seen here, this is where we change identities." Harry says. He closes his eyes and concentrates. "Hugin!" The dagger appears in his hand, two flasks are attached to it.
Harry undoes the tie then plucks one of his hairs out and puts it in one of the flasks before handing it to Cedric. Cedric takes the flask, then plucks one of his hairs and gives it to Harry. Harry takes Cedric's hair and puts it in the other flask as Cedric drinks from the first one immediately morphing into Harry, his clothing changing to match Harry's as he does. "You weren't kidding when you said I'd be surprised by what Hermione could do to my outfit." Cedric says.
Harry nods. "The polyjuice form change activates the transfiguration." He puts Cedric's hair in the other flask then drinks from it. He changes into Cedric, his clothes changing as well.
"I'll have to remember that for my N.E.W.T.s." Cedric says.
"Now, this is Hugin." Harry says as he holds up the dagger. "It belongs to Hermione, as long as it touches your skin she'll be able to hear your thoughts."
"So I just think about what's happening?" Cedric asks as Harry straps the dagger to his back.
"Yes, and as soon as Riddle is resurrected we'll arrive to take him out." Harry says as takes both flasks and puts them in his robes. "Let's go!"
===Present===
Cedric is brought out of his thoughts as Peter cuts his arm. "Blood of the enemy forcibly taken. You shall resurrect your foe." Peter lets Cedric's blood fall into the Cauldron.
'Hermione, if you can hear me, this ratty-looking fellow just took my blood.' Cedric sends through the dagger. 'Now he dropped a bundle in the cauldron.'
The cauldron bubbles and smokes for a minute. Finally a humanoid form steps out of the cauldron. "Robe me." The raspy voice clearly comes from the new body. Peter puts a robe on the form. The body falters. "Something is wrong."
"Wrong spell components will do that to you." Hermione says.
Peter and the form turn to look back at them. They now see Cedric morphed back into his true form freeing himself from his bonds. Harry, Hermione, and Dumbledore all stand with their wands drawn. The quartet looks at Pettigrew and the newly resurrected Dark Lord. Voldemort's body is devoid of all hair, and lacks a nose. His eyes are jet black. "How is this possible?" He asks.
=== November 1 1994 ===
"There!" Hermione says. "Your glasses should now let you see if someone is under a magical disguise."
"How does it work?" Harry asks.
"The spell says that their face will be distorted."
Harry nods. "Let's hope this helps find whoever put my name in the Goblet."
They enter the defense classroom and take their seats. In walks Moody, Harry tries not to gasp at the distorted face in his vision. 'Mione!' He sends through their bond. 'Moody is under a disguise.'
'I hadn't expected it work so quickly." Hermione replies. 'We'll have to wait until the weekend to corner him.' Hermione replies.
=== November 5 1994 ===
"Professor Moody, I was wondering if I could have a word with you?" Harry says from the door to his office.
"This had better be to apologize for how you acted at the beginning of term." Moody snaps.
"Of course, I really shouldn't have done that." Harry says as he comes into the office. "Then again I doubt I would need to with the real Moody."
Moody pulls out his wand and aims it at Harry. "What nonsense are you spouting now?"
"He's speaking the truth and you know it." Hermione says suddenly in the room with them.
"Missus Potter, how'd you get in here?" Moody asks.
"That's not important." Hermione answers "Now I need you to put your wand down." Hermione says.
"Or?" Moody asks when suddenly he feels a dagger against his throat.
"Does that answer your question?" Hermione asks. "Now drop your wand."
Moody drops his wand. "Mister Potter, you had better not be wrong about this." Dumbledore says from the doorway. He enters the room followed by Snape and Ron.
"I'm not." Harry states, authoritatively.
"Very well," Dumbledore pulls out his wand. "Missus Potter, I have him."
The dagger vanishes from Moody's throat. "Headmaster, surely you're not going to listen to this nonsense!" Moody says.
"Mister Potter has done more for this school than anyone besides myself. He has more than earned my trust." Dumbledore says. "Severus?"
"I have the polyjuice counter potion right here." Snape says as he holds up a vial. "If he's not using polyjuice the potion it'll have no effect on him whatsoever."
"Very well." Dumbledore says as he looks at Moody. "Will you take the potion willingly?"
"No." Moody says as he goes to try and escape.
Dumbledore freezes him in place. "Administer the potion."
Snape walks over to Moody and forces his mouth open with magic. He then pours the potion into his mouth and casts a spell forcing him to swallow it.
Moody starts to change shape immediately until the form of Barty Crouch Jr remains. "Looks like you were right, Mister Potter." Dumbledore says.
'Did he really think I wasn't?' Harry asks Hermione.
'He probably said it for the imposter.' Hermione replies.
"Severus, did you bring the other potion?" Dumbledore asks.
Snape sighs. "I am beginning to regret telling you about my private stocks." He pulls out a vial. "Veritaserum."
Barty suddenly looks nervous. "Get away from me!"
"Just three drops." Snape says.
Barty Crouch Jr sits at the Defense Professor desk, his eyes glazed over. Snape looms over him. "The potion is administered." Snape says as he looks back to Harry, Hermione, Ron and Dumbledore.
"State your name." Dumbledore says.
"Bartholomew Crouch Junior."
"Where is Alastor Moody?" Dumbledore questions.
"Bound and gagged inside a trunk in the back of this office."
"Why did you take his form?" Hermione asks.
"To get close to Harry Potter. To make sure the Goblet picks Harry as a champion. He has to survive the first two tasks, then I will arrange for the Goblet to be a portkey to where my master waits to perform a resurrection ritual using his blood."
"How did you enter us in the tournament?" Harry asks.
"I confounded the cup to think there was a fourth school then used a hair and some polyjuice to turn into you and enter you." Crouch answers.
"What do we do with this information?" Dumbledore asks.
"It's a little late to stop him from entering us in the tournament." Harry says.
"If he intends to make sure you two make it through the first two tasks you'll need to keep him around." Ron says.
Dumbledore nods. "What of the third task?"
"In his current undead state, I'm not sure if we can actually kill Riddle." Harry says.
"So we let him go through with the ritual." Ron reasons.
"We can't let him use Harry's blood." Dumbledore says. "It would make him stronger."
"Then we don't let him use Harry's blood." Ron says. "We get a decoy to touch the Goblet."
"How would we do that?" Hermione asks.
"Polyjuice potion." Snape says, reminding everyone he's there. "He wouldn't know it wasn't you until the potion wore off."
"You'd have to swap with someone." Hermione says. "Then give them Hugin so we know what's happening."
"Cedric?" Harry asks.
"I think he'd be the best shot we have." Hermione says.
"What do we do about him?" Harry asks, pointing to Barty Crouch Jr.
"We can't have Voldemort knowing we know." Hermione says.
"I'll take care of that." Dumbledore says. "Obliviate!"
===November 23 1994===
"Cedric!" Harry calls out getting the other champion's attention as he approaches him in the Great Hall.
Cedric sighs. "Can I help you?"
"I wanted to talk to you, in private." Harry says.
Cedric looks at Harry and realizes that Hermione isn't with him. "You're serious, you don't even have your wife with you."
"She's here in a way." Harry says.
Cedric shrugs as he gets up. They head to an unused classroom. Harry puts up a privacy ward. "Damn," Cedric whistles. ""I thought you were a fourth-year."
"I am, we're just ahead of our grade." Harry says.
"Okay, I'm listening." Cedric says.
"The first task has something to do with nesting dragons." Harry says.
Cedric's eyes go wide. "Why would you tell me this?"
Harry sighs. "I'm going to need your help for something during the third task. I can't explain it now, but I will."
"How long have you known about the dragons?" Cedric asks.
"Hagrid told me last night." Harry answers. "My first thought was to make sure you knew, sportsmanship if nothing."
Cedric nods. "Thank you for the information. No promises that I'll help you with whatever you are planning for the third task."
"Fair enough."
===May 19 1995 ===
Early morning. Hannah Abbott walks into the Seventh year boys Hufflepuff Dorms, she has her eyes covered. "I need to speak with Cedric Diggory."
"You can open your eyes, we're all decent." Cedric says.
"Thank you." Hannah says as she moves her hand. "I have a message for you." She hands him a folded up piece of notebook paper.
"Who gave this to you?" Cedric asks as he takes the paper.
"Neville Longbottom." Hannah answers.
Cedric unfolds the piece of paper and reads it. As soon as he finishes reading it the note vanishes. Cedric shakes his head then leaves the Hufflepuff Dorms.
Harry stands in the hall, the door to the Room of Requirement open. As Cedric approaches he speaks. "In here, please."
They enter the room. "What is this place?" Cedric asks, looking around at a perfect replica of the champions' tent from the first task.
"It goes by many names." Harry answers. "My favorite is the Room of Requirement. It becomes whatever you wish it to be."
"Amazing." Cedric says. "I'm assuming you want my answer if I'll help you with whatever you are planning?"
"I do, but first I need to explain something." Harry says. "Voldemort is coming back, he plans on using me to do it."
"And the third task has something to do with it?" Cedric asks. Harry nods. "How can I help?"
===Present===
"There you have it." Harry says. "Cedric, while he is your enemy, he's not the one you intended to use, so your ritual barely worked."
Voldemort looks at the four of them, during the explanation Harry had handed Cedric a wand so now all of them stand with a wand in their hand. In his current state, he knew he could not fight Dumbledore, let alone the four of them. He briefly debates summoning his loyal Death Eaters, but he has no clue how many are left. There was only one way out of this situation. "Wormtail!" Voldemort sneers.
"Now!" Harry says. All four of the fire spells at Wormtail and Voldemort.
Wormtail flicks Cedric's wand and several tombstones rise up from the ground and block the spells.
Voldemort reaches into his robe and pulls out a wand. Then with a twitch of his wrist, they both turn into smoke and vanish.
"They.. turned into smoke." Harry says, astonished.
"That is new, I wasn't expecting that." Dumbledore says.
Harry sighs. "I was hoping to capture him while we had the advantage. Who knows how many more horcruxes he'll create before we see him again!"
"From what you said the goblins are dealing with that problem for now. " Dumbledore says. "Right now I suggest we return to Hogwarts and tell the public what transpired here today."
