The Triwizard Tournament
Chapter 5
August 31st, 1994
Dear Diary, I'm afraid. I never told you this, as I was afraid this diary would fall into the wrong hands, but the truth is… I am the daughter of… Death Eaters, the followers of the Dark Lord. Since I'm close to turning 17, they gave me a mission. This year at Hogwarts the famous Triwizard Tournament will be held and there is a plan to kill Harry Potter and happen rebirth of the Dark Lord. There is a man (Barty Crouch Jr) who will take the polyjuice potion and will become the new Defense Against Dark Magic teacher (Mad-Eye Moody) he will put Harry Potter's name in the goblet of fire so that he be the fourth champion of the tournament. All I know is that the tournament cup will be turned into a transport button and that it will take you to a cemetery where Potter will see the Dark Lord's rebirth. My mission is to help the fake professor in his tasks to make Harry Potter reach the cup and then when the Dark Lord is back in his body, he will give me the mark of the death eaters, my Dad says it's a privilege to help on a very important mission, but I don't want any of that, I don't want to help, I don't want Potter to die and I don't want to be a death eater either, maybe if I never started writing here I would I want to help, but after being bullied and falling in love with Cedric Diggory and not being against muggle children, I don't want any of that.

Cedric is the Hogwarts champion! The plan is working, now Hogwarts has two champions, Diggory and Potter! I'm very happy for Cedric, but I'm afraid that something goes wrong, I've heard that people have died in this tournament, so I just ask that Cedric doesn't die.
November 24th, 1994
The first task took place today, everything went as planned and Cedric is fine. I was also informed that on Christmas Eve the Yule Ball will take place, I don't know who Cedric's date will be at the ball, but one thing is for sure, it won't be me. I would love to be his date but he will never ask me out, I don't know who my date will be.
December 20th, 1994
I managed to get a date for the ball, Charles William, he's a Ravenclaw of the same year as me, who also didn't have a date, but he will never replace Diggory.
December 25th, 1994
Yesterday was the Ball and it didn't go too badly, Charles danced with me and he never made fun of the subject of the diary, maybe because he never knew, I don't know. Cedric went to the ball with Cho Chang, the Seeker of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, apparently Charles wanted to be her date, he told me that he liked her but he knew he would never have a chance with her, since he did too he's shy like me. I told him about my crush on Cedric and after that conversation, I can say that I already have a friend!
January 15th, 1995
Today I had my first study session with Charles, it was less lonely.
February 24th, 1995
Today was the day of the second task and the goal was for the champions to rescue the person most important to them from the bottom of the lake. The person for Victor Krum (the champion of Durmstrang) was Hermione Granger, Potter's best friend. The person for Fleur Delacour (the Beauxbatons champion) was her younger sister, Gabrielle. Potter's person was his best friend Ron Weasley, but what I didn't like about this task was that Diggory's person was Chang they are boyfriends, I hate her!!!

Today is the day before the third and final task of the tournament. It's going to be a giant maze.
June 25th, 1995
Yesterday the third task of the tournament took place and after what happened, my life will never be the same. Everything happened as it was supposed to. I waited a bit like Peter Pettigrew (also a death eater) and when Potter arrived my heart started beating very fast because so was Cedric! Cedric wasn't supposed to come too, he knew they were going to kill him. I thought Peter was going to kill him at that moment, but I don't know if it was because I was there, Peter didn't kill him, he just told me to pin Cedric to a tombstone in the cemetery and hold him so he wouldn't run away. We all watched the rebirth of the Dark Lord and after he was in his body, he told me to kill Cedric, but I couldn't do it, as my love for him was too strong.
I said I didn't know how to use the Avada Kedavra curse and then the Dark Lord said he was going to kill him himself. As Cedric was trapped he couldn't defend himself, so I had to do it myself. When he cast Avada Kedavra I shouted Protego and Cedric didn't die. I quickly released Cedric and he started to fight, meanwhile, I also went to release Potter to help in the fight. We ended up surviving because we used the transport button (the Cup) to return to the labyrinth.
We returned to the Labyrinth and I felt strange.
"I can't believe what just happened, Who do we know is back?!" said Cedric breathlessly.
“Yes, he returned. But the plan was also to kill Harry” I said, I was afraid of what might happen next in that conversation.
“By the way, who are you?” asked Harry.
“I'm a young woman who just made a choice that wasn't an option” I replied, “If Harry had died, I would be taking the mark of the death eaters by now, I'm glad you survived Harry, I never wanted to be a death eater".
“Look, thank you so much for saving my life” thanked Cedric, at that exact moment I felt very happy, but Cedric also asked, “Are you an Auror?”.
"I'm not yet, I'm still studying here at Hogwarts… I guess I shouldn't have said that" I didn't want them to know who I was.
"Seriously? What is your house like? What year are you in?” Cedric asked me, he looked like he was a detective.
“Sorry, but I can't say. If you know or even Harry knows, you will spread this information around the school and maybe you can tell the Daily prophet my identity and then everyone will know that I am the daughter of death eaters!... OH MY MERLIN!!! , why can't I stop saying what I shouldn't say? But in conclusion, I cannot say who I am. Now I have to get going, see you soon Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory”.
My life was all screwed up, plus it was almost time for summer vacation. This morning I received an owl from my parents, but I couldn't open it for fear. Right now what I need most is to talk to Dumbledore, but how am I going to get there? Should I burn my Death Eater cape?
