Harry and Cedric are transported to a strange graveyard. They realize the Triwizard Cup was a Portkey, and suddenly, Wormtail appears in a cloak carrying what looks like a baby in a bundle of robes. Harry’s scar sears with pain, and the creature in the robes orders Wormtail to “kill the spare.” Wormtail uses Avada Kedavra and kills Cedric, leaving his face “blank and expressionless” (258) on the ground as he ties Harry to a tombstone marked TOM RIDDLE, Voldemort’s Muggle father whom he hated and killed years ago. Wormtail reveals the horrifying creature in the bundle; it is “the shape of a crouched human child” but with a face “flat and snakelike, with gleaming red eyes” (259). Wormtail places the creature in a cauldron and begins to brew a terrible potion. He takes bone dust from the grave of Tom Riddle, then cuts off his own hand before cutting Harry and taking some of his blood. With the bone of the father, flesh of the servant, and blood of the enemy, Voldemort rises from the cauldron in human form, and Harry realizes that “Lord Voldemort [has] risen again” (260).
