The Battle of the Department of Mysteries
Chapter 8
June 20th, 1996
I went on that rescue mission to help my colleagues, I wore my death eater outfit because I felt more confident wearing it. They entered the Department of Mysteries so I had to follow them. When I arrived the group was talking to Lucius Malfoy and the only thing I could hear was Cedric saying what I most wanted to hear at that moment.
"Harry, I wish that girl who saved us at the cemetery was here to help us…"
"And I'm not here?", everyone looked at me at that moment.
"How did you know we need help?" asked Weasley.
"Well, I heard from a friend…" I looked at Luna "...that Harry had a vision with his godfather at the Department of Mysteries, so I came to help you"
"Glad you're here" admitted Cedric.
I was going to continue talking to him when someone interrupted me.
"Look, look, look… If it isn't the little traitorous young lady" It was my mother.
"Oh…Hi Mom, I haven't seen you for months. Did you miss me or not?" When I said “mom”, I noticed that everyone was looking at me.
"I will never miss someone who stains his name on the family tree..."
"Oh! Are you talking about that family tree that only has two generations, yours and mine? I don't know if you know, but when you take me out of the tree, there is no one to continue it…"
"Lie!!! I don't know if you know that you are not the only person of your generation"
"YOU HAD A CHILD WITHOUT ME KNOWING?!?!?"
"No…I had two children! They were born in March, Jack Jr and Jacqueline".
"It's a good thing they were born, so they can have the perfect children they want so much!!! "I was already freaking out.
"Look, we can get back to the prof…", but Malfoy was also interrupted.
"But if you are no longer a follower of the Dark Lord, why are you still wearing that outfit?"
"Look, I have a right to opinion, choice and PRIVACY" I was unstoppable to answer all questions.
"Ah, I understand what's going on. You're afraid to reveal your identity!" until it was true.
"Sorry to interrupt" began Cedric "But if your daughter doesn't want to take off her mask, she has the right. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article n°12: right to privacy. I would also like to know who she is, but I respect the rights of a person"
"What's your name, my boy?" asked my mother.
"Cedric Diggory"
"Ah! From the Diggory family. My dear, you can respect all the laws you want… But I DON'T!!! Accio Mask!" As I uttered that spell, my mask flew towards my mother's hand.
"Hello… Hazel Lenoir."
Okay, everyone figured out who I am. I look at Cedric and he is looking at me very carefully, I think he must be wondering if he has already found me at school. There was silence for a few seconds, Malfoy tried to restart the prophecy conversation but...
"Now that this is over we can…"
"Luna, isn't she the girl who spent the whole summer with you?" asked Ginny.
"Yes, it's me. I'm Hazel Lenoir. I'm 18 years old, I'm in my seventh year at Hogwarts and I'm a Slytherin. Yes, I spent the whole summer at Lovegoods' because I was afraid, I was afraid of the consequences of my action. But I continue thinking that the choice I made was the best choice I made in my life. I did what my heart wanted and the love I felt during four years at Hogwarts is, without a doubt, a thousand times stronger than the one you have for me. And that love gave me strength, the love that I feel for Cedric Diggory gave me strength to do what was right and not what was easy." Oh my merlin! Now that Cedric knows I have a crush on him, he's looking at me with a confused, thoughtful look.
"Hazel, I'm very disappointed in you. You know your father thinks I should use Avada Kedavra on you, but I think it's better to use the Cruciatus Curse, I want to cause pain", did she want to scare me?
"Can we get back to the subject of the HARRY POTTER PROPHECY!!!" exclaimed Malfoy.
We went back to the prophecy conversation and then it started… The Battle of the Department of Mysteries had begun. We all started to fight and I went to fight with my mother.
"Expelliarmus!!" screamed my mom, eventually I ran out of my wand "Stupefy!!" I fell to the ground "Very well my dear, now I'm going to do what I should have done… CRUCIO!!!". A jet of red light came out of my mother's wand and I started to feel a lot of pain, I couldn't get out.
I woke up in Hogwarts Infirmary the next day. Ahead of me were Cedric Diggory and Luna Lovegood. Granger was on one bed and Weasley on another.
"What happened?" I asked.
Cedric replied "Well I don't know do you remember that your mother used the Cruciatus Curse on you and I think it was for about 10 minutes, I don't know. I disarmed your mother and cast Petrificus Totalus on her. Sometime later, the Aurors from the Ministry arrived and… Now your mother and father are imprisoned in Azkaban… "
" Really?... Good, but... What's going to happen to my siblings? " I was happy that my parents were going to Azkaban, but I was also worried about my baby brothers, you can't leave babies behind like we're garbage. Cedric replied:
"The Ministry said you'll have to take care of your siblings, they said you're old enough to do that" OH MY MERLIN, now I have to take care of two babies, I still need to study to be an Auror.
"Cedric," said Luna "I don't think you told Hazel the whole story", everyone was now looking at Luna "After you petrified Hazel's mother, I remember seeing you crying next to Hazel. Yes, I remember perfectly, you were saying "Hazel! Hazel! Wake up Hazel, Hazel! Hazel, I'm sorry… I'm sorry I never noticed you, I'm sorry…" And then you stayed with her until the Aurors arrived."
FOR MERLIN'S FAVORITE BEDROBE!!! What is Cedric said!?!? He said he apologized for never noticing me?!?!
"Is this true, Cedric?" ask because I was really curious.
"Yes Yes, it's true…"
"Cedric, you listen to me, please" at that moment I took his hands "... You don't need to apologize, okay. It's not your fault, it's mine. It's not your fault for not noticing me, because I spent a lot of time hiding in the library, I was bullied just for writing a diary… I never told my identity because I was afraid that something would happen to me or even you wouldn't accept me for who I am. The only people who knew my identity were Dumbledore, Luna and her father... It's not your fault that I have to spend the entire summer with the Lovegoods and it's not your fault that I screwed up my relationship with my parents either, they are not that kind of perfect parents like yours, they never gave me the option to choose what I want to do and I saved you in the third task because I wanted to, it was my choice and not my parents. Cedric, you're not to blame for anything!". This was the best speech I ever gave in my life. At that moment, Cedric approached and... he kissed me!!!
"I've waited for this moment for three years and it finally happened."
Today, first thing in the morning, Madam Pomfrey discharged me and I left the nurse. When I was having breakfast I received two owls: one was from the Ministry of Magic, because of my brothers and the other… was from Cedric, in the letter it was written to meet us by the lake at 10 o'clock. I went there and it was 10:05 and Cedric still hadn't arrived, could it be a fake letter? I was picking up my things when I saw a boy running towards me, it was Cedric.
"Sorry for the delay, I went to the kitchens to get some food" and he kissed me, I think it was his way of saying sorry. I had the best date ever with Cedric and we started dating, I'm so happy.
Dear Diary, thank you for being with me all these years, you were my best friend, but now I'm starting a new adventure. Goodbye.
