He was clutching to Theo like his life depended on it, and his head hurt from where his fingers had been. He felt the impressions left behind, or maybe that too was in his mind. Zach didn't trust his mind so much as his heart. But it was his mind that hurt so bad. And Zach just couldn't let go. He needed...someone. It was so, it was lonely. He was alone...
But then the memories became coming back. And Zach remembered them, well he hadn't forgotten them. But the tone to them, the truth, it was different. Zach remembered...Zach remembered Harry Potter coming back in the center of the field. And he wasn't alone. There was a body. There was- it was Cedric. And Zach had grabbed onto Theo and...puked. And they'd looked horrible. And Potter had said...had said Death Eaters had killed him. Death Eaters. Death eaters?
Zach sobbed more. He hadn't thought about Cedric's death recently. Yes Cedric was dead, and he'd...argued with Colin about it, but remembering it fresh and painful, it hurt.
