[[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry's]] worst memory of the next few days is of [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric Diggory]]'s parents. They never seemed angry, and instead thank Harry for returning Cedric's body. They expressed relief that he did not suffer and died after winning the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament|tournament]]. Harry offered them the Tournament winnings, saying Cedric would have reached the Cup first, but they refused.

Harry returns to Gryffindor Tower after [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] addresses the school. [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] and [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] tell him that Dumbledore has instructed everyone to avoid asking Harry about what happened in the maze. Harry, Ron, and Hermione reach their own tacit agreement not to discuss it. Ron says that [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Molly Weasley|his mother]] asked Dumbledore if Harry could stay with them for the summer, but Dumbledore replied that Harry must first spend time at [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]]. When Harry wonders why, Ron says that Mrs. Weasley assumes Dumbledore must have his reasons.

The only person Harry is able to talk to about what happened is [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]. As there is no longer a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, the students have that time free, and the Trio goes to see Hagrid. He is pleased to see Harry and invites all three in. When Harry notices a second bucket-sized teacup on the table, Hagrid admits he was having tea with [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Olympe Maxime|Madame Maxime]]. Hagrid startles Harry by saying that he knew [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] would return, it was only a matter of time. Hagrid tells Harry that he had done as much as his father would have, and that there is no higher praise than that. Harry smiles for the first time in days.

Harry asks what mission Dumbledore is sending Hagrid and Madame Maxime on; Hagrid replies that he is unable to discuss it, but he almost has Madame Maxime convinced to go with him. He then jokingly invites them to visit the last [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Skrewt|Skrewt]].

The Leaving Feast is a sad affair; the Great Hall is draped in black. Professor Karkaroff is still missing, and Harry wonders whether he has been caught yet. The real [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Alastor Moody]] is there, looking jumpy. Snape has returned from his mission, still looking sour; Harry remembers from the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Pensieve|Pensieve]] that Dumbledore told the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wizengamot|Wizengamot]] that Snape became a spy at great personal risk before Voldemort's fall.

Dumbledore rises to address the school, starting with a tribute to Cedric Diggory. Cedric, he says, exemplified the attributes of Hufflepuff House, he was a good and loyal friend, and a hard worker. It is only fair to reveal how he died: he was murdered by [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]]. The Ministry, he continues, "does not want me to tell you this, and some of your parents will be horrified, but truth is generally preferable to lies, and saying Cedric died from an accident is an insult to his memory."

Dumbledore says he must also mention Harry Potter. Harry faced Lord Voldemort, escaped, and risked his life to return Cedric's body. He toasts Harry, as do most in the Great Hall; but through a gap in the standing figures, Harry sees that [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]] and his cronies do not.

Finally, Dumbledore singles out the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Beauxbatons Academy of Magic|Beauxbatons]] and [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Durmstrang Institute|Durmstrang]] students, and says that in light of Voldemort's return, anyone now in the Hall is welcome to return any time. He reminds them that Voldemort uses discord as his main weapon, and asks that when given a choice between what is right, and what is easy, that they remember Cedric, who died because he strayed across Voldemort's path.

As Harry, Ron, and Hermione prepare to leave Hogwarts the next day, [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fleur Delacour|Fleur]] runs up to say goodbye to Harry; she says she is hoping to get a job in England to improve her English. When Ron says that it is very good already, Hermione scowls at him. As Fleur leaves, Ron wonders aloud how the Durmstrang students will get back with Karkaroff missing. [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Krum]], coming up behind him, says that Karkaroff did not steer the ship, the students did the work. He then asks for a private word with Hermione. After they return, Krum says that he liked Cedric, and shakes Harry's hand, and then Ron's.

On the Hogwarts Express, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have a compartment to themselves, and Harry finally feels free to talk about what happened. They talk uninterrupted, until the lunch trolley arrives. Returning from the trolley, Hermione drops a copy of [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/The Daily Prophet|the ''Daily Prophet'']]. Harry does not want to think about what is in it, but Hermione says there will not be anything about him, and the only mention recently had been a small piece about him winning the Tournament. She thinks [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|Fudge]] is putting pressure on them. When Ron suggests that [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rita Skeeter|Rita Skeeter]] would not miss a story like that, Hermione says she discovered how Rita was getting her stories. It was Harry who gave her the clue when he was talking about electronic bugging. She then produces a jar containing a large beetle. It is Rita Skeeter, who is an unregistered [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagus]]. Hermione spotted her in the Hospital Wing the night Cedric died and trapped her in the jar. Ron and Harry recall that with every story Rita wrote, a large beetle was nearby during the private conversations that she seemed to have somehow overheard. Hermione will release her when they reach London, but if she writes any stories for one year, she will report her to the Ministry of Magic.

Draco suddenly barges in, saying how clever Hermione is trapping a journalist. He tells Harry he has picked the wrong side; Voldemort is back, and Cedric is only the first to die. Wand-flashes suddenly fill the compartment, and Draco, [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vincent Crabbe|Crabbe]] and [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregory Goyle|Goyle]] are suddenly lying, unconscious and disfigured, on the floor. Harry, Ron, and Hermione each used a different hex on them, in addition to ones from [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]], who arrived to help. After dumping Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle in the corridor, Fred and George join the Trio for the remainder of the trip.

Harry asks Fred and George who they were blackmailing. Fred says it was [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]], but they have given up. Ludo tried paying off the debts he owed them with vanishing [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Leprechaun|Leprechaun]] gold. When they tried getting real money from him, he became very virtuous, telling them boys their age should not be gambling anyway. Apparently, he also cheated [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lee Jordan|Lee Jordan]]'s father. He wagered on the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch World Cup|Quidditch World Cup]] with the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Goblin|Goblins]] and lost heavily. He was betting on Harry to win the Triwizard Tournament, which is why he was trying to help Harry. When Harry and Cedric touched the cup at the same instant, the Goblins claimed it was a draw, and Ludo had to run.

After saying goodbye to Hermione and Ron, and receiving fervent thanks from Fred and George, Harry leaves with [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|Uncle Vernon]], waiting for whatever may happen next.

{{../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}

Harry recalls from the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Pensieve|Pensieve]] that when Dumbledore vouched for Snape's loyalty, saying he become a Ministry spy at "great personal risk," he did so while in Karkaroff's presence. Karkaroff, who has gone into hiding, is a weak and cowardly character, as shown when he revealed Death Eaters' names to get himself released from Azkaban. It is possible that if he is found by a Death Eater, he may attempt to barter for his life in exchange for information, and Snape turning informant is a huge bargaining chip. It will be revealed that Karkaroff is killed about a year after he went into hiding, found in a hut with the Dark Mark overhead. Assuming his memory about Dumbleore's statement was not erased by the Ministry, could he have told his murderer about Snape's defection? If so, and the Death Eater passed on this information, would an arrogant Voldemort believe it rather that his own [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Legilimency|Legilimency]] that Snape is loyal?
