Summary
Watching his parents' ex-friend attempt to resurrect a mass-murdering Dark Lord was not how Harry expected the Third Task to go.
He knows he has to think quickly and act quicker if he has any hope of surviving this year's confrontation, so Harry takes a risk. It's a potentially very dumb risk, but Peter is approaching him with a very sharp knife, and Harry knows he is running out of time.
Pro: He puts a stop to the Dark Lord's grand rebirth, and dies heroically as Peter kills him in a grief-fuelled rage.
Con: He doesn't put a stop to it, and dies slightly less heroically at the hand of an insane egomaniac. Said egomaniac goes on to rule the World. Or Britain.
The blade glints in the moonlight and Harry reckons if he's going to die either way; how much harm could a few words really do?
