Harry!

Barty Crouch Junior.

Ill show you mine if you show me yours.

Your arm, Harry.

You know what this means, dont you?

Hes back.

Lord Voldemort has returned.

Im sorry, sir. I couldnt help it.

Send an owl to Azkaban. I think theyll find theyre missing a prisoner.

Ill be welcomed back like a hero. Perhaps.

Personally, Ive never had much time for heroes.

Today, we acknowledge…

…a really terrible loss.

Cedric Diggory was, as you all know…

…exceptionally hard-working…

…infinitely fair-minded…

…and, most importantly…

…a fierce, fierce friend.

Now, I think, therefore, you have the right to know exactly how he died.

You see…

…Cedric Diggory was murdered…

…by Lord Voldemort!

The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this.

But not to do so, I think, would be an insult to his memory.

Now, the pain…

…we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me…

…and reminds us…

…that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues…

…our hearts beat as one.

In light of recent events…

…the bonds of friendship weve made this year will be more important than ever.

Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain.

You remember that…

…and well celebrate a boy who was…

…kind and honest…

…and brave and true, right to the very end.

I never liked these curtains.

Set them on fire in my fourth year.

By accident, of course.

I put you in terrible danger this year, Harry. Im sorry.

Professor…

…when I was in the graveyard, there was a moment…

…when Voldemorts wand and mine sort of connected.

Priori Incantatem.

You saw your parents that night, didnt you?

They reappeared.

No spell can reawaken the dead, Harry. I trust you know that.

Dark and difficult times lie ahead.

Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.

But remember this

You have friends here.

Youre not alone.

Hermione.

This is for you.

Write to me. Promise.

Bye.

Do you think well ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?

No. No.

No, I didnt think so. Oh, well. Whats life without a few dragons?

Everythings going to change now, isnt it?

Yes.

Promise youll write this summer. Both of you.

I wont. You know I wont.

Harry will, wont you? Yeah. Every week.
