   Summary

   Kill the spare!

   Green light.

   Harry's scream of caution.

   Darkness.

   •••

   At two in the morning on the day of the Quidditch World Cup final, Cedric Diggory wakes up, screaming and sweating so cold he felt like he had dove into the Black Lake in mid-February.

   What did he do. In a few months from that day.

   •••

   Cedric Diggory dies. And then he wakes up. Alive.

   With the memories of twelve months in the future, and the certainty of one thing: Harry Potter, the second Hogwarts Champion who was illegally drawn into the Triwizard Tournament, has returned with him.

   •••

   Or the one where they somehow go back in time and decide they don't want that future anymore.
