**Hogwarts.**
**Triwizard Tournament arena.**
With a flash of blue light, Harry finally returned to the correct location for the Portkey, holding the trophy.
Seeing Harry Potter appear, the Gryffindor students in the stands erupted in excited cheers, and so did students from the other three houses except Slytherin!
Some professors also smiled with joy.
After all, the Goblet of Fire belonged to Hogwarts.
But at that moment, Harry's incoherent shouts rang out, even louder than the cheers:
"He's back!"
"Voldemort is back... Cedric is dead... the graveyard!"
"The Portkey transported us to the graveyard."
"The golden door! The golden door appeared!"
Harry looked pained, his description jumbled, like a madman who had suffered severe trauma.
The arena fell silent instantly!
Everyone heard the phrase 'Voldemort is back' clearly!
Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge stood up abruptly, shouting:
"Mr. Potter is agitated and is talking nonsense!"
"Where are the medical personnel? Quickly take him away!"
The crowd seemed to relax, apparently believing his words.
But just then, a man rushed out anxiously, grabbing the panicked Harry and shouting:
"Harry! Harry!"
"What happened to my son? What happened to him?"
It was Amos Diggory, wearing glasses.
"He's dead, I said he's dead!" Harry cried in pain: "Wormtail killed him with the Killing Curse, in an instant, then he resurrected Voldemort."
The previously quiet crowd exploded again!
Amos let out a wail of grief.
Minister Fudge still refused to believe, shouting loudly and trying to maintain order.
At this moment, Dumbledore had already approached Harry.
He gently pulled the grieving Amos aside, placing his warm hands on Harry's shoulders to comfort him:
"Don't be afraid, Harry... you're back now."
He then signaled Snape to take Harry away.
"What about you?" Snape asked.
Dumbledore said solemnly:
"I have to bring the boy's body back and check the scene... you know, resurrection spells leave undeniable traces."
With that, he took the Goblet of Fire from Harry and Disapparated.
Tracking the Portkey's location was easy for the modern White Wizard.
...
**Little Hangleton Graveyard.**
A figure appeared as the air twisted, then solidified.
Dumbledore looked around, immediately spotting signs of a battle and strong traces of potions and blood on the ground.
His face darkened, recognizing what they were.
Voldemort had truly returned.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to find Cedric's body.
One of the academy's finest students died so suddenly.
Sighing, Dumbledore saw the boy lying on the ground.
In the moonlight, his face looked peaceful, ruddy, as if still alive...
Ruddy face!?
Dumbledore's eyes widened as he suddenly noticed Cedric's chest rising and falling rhythmically!
"How is this possible!?"
He hurried over, crouching to place his hand on Cedric's chest.
The heartbeat was clear, strong, and healthy, transmitted through flesh to his palm.
"Truly not dead!"
Dumbledore was baffled.
He couldn't help but glance at the resurrection spell traces...
It was unmistakable, Tom Riddle's life aura was there.
So, had Harry been mistaken, had Wormtail used a Stupefy instead?
But he quickly shook his head.
Harry couldn't have been wrong, and there were no signs of Stupefy on Cedric's body.
**Hogwarts.**
**Triwizard Tournament arena.**
Barely half a minute had passed.
Fudge was still maintaining order, the students and professors from the various wizarding schools wore grim expressions.
Amos was still on his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
At that moment, Dumbledore appeared, carrying Cedric.
Seeing this, Amos staggered to his feet, his sobbing intensifying, his arms trembling as he reached to touch his son's body.
Then...
He saw his beloved son suddenly open his eyes, looking at him in confusion, saying:
"Father, I think I saw my great-grandmother."
Amos was so shocked by this that he nearly jumped up!
The students and professors in the stands also exclaimed, some even screamed that it was a zombie, causing the crowd to erupt in chaos!
"Your son isn't dead, Amos."
Seeing Cedric awaken, Dumbledore gently set him down.
Amos, initially reacting instinctively, now helped his son up with a face full of joy, unable to speak due to excitement!
At that moment, Fudge hurriedly came down, pointing at the bewildered Cedric, and turned to excitedly shout at the students:
"Look, everyone!"
"Harry Potter was lying, our Mr. Cedric never died, he's perfectly fine, just asleep!"
"So Voldemort can't have come back, there's no need to worry!!"
This explanation sounded quite reasonable, and many in the stands sighed in relief.
But just as Fudge finished speaking, a clear voice rang out from behind him.
"In fact, Minister Fudge, I did die just now. Wormtail killed me with the Killing Curse."
"It felt terrible, like falling into an ice hole."
The speaker was, of course, Cedric.
His words caused many more gasps.
A flash of anger crossed Fudge's face. He turned abruptly, reprimanding:
"You were in a deep sleep, young wizard!"
"How could anyone survive the Killing Curse!"
He then looked at Dumbledore, shouting:
"Well, what do you say, Headmaster!"
Dumbledore shook his head.
To be honest, he was also baffled by this.
Amos hurriedly shook his son, saying:
"Were you confused, just dreaming?"
Fully awake, Cedric broke free from his father's grasp, his face showing unprecedented devotion as he spoke to everyone:
"I wasn't dreaming, I was indeed killed by the Killing Curse."
"It was the great God-Lord Balder who Resurrect me "
"Death... is just His servant."
These words were beyond belief!
The entire arena fell silent, including Minister Fudge.
Because...
Eight months ago, Hogwarts' Divination professor Trelawney made a prophecy and crazily published it at her own expense in the Daily Prophet for a month.
Many remembered those so-called 'jokes.'
**[On a night with a full moon, the golden door shall open!]**
**[A divine envoy descends, shadows follow!]**
**[Miracles of life and death, strange spirits!]**
**[The Dark Lord shall die, the gods shall come!]**
Almost everyone also recalled Harry's earlier words that had been ignored.
"The golden door appeared!"
And now!
Everyone looked at Cedric, as devout as a believer.
A miracle of resurrection from death seemed to have occurred!!!
