Chapter 38
In this chapter, Harry returns from the graveyard Portkey holding Cedric Diggory's dead body and reveals that Voldemort has returned. As Harry is taken to the hospital wing, he recounts the events to Mad-Eye Moody, who shockingly admits to having manipulated the Triwizard Tournament to ensure Harry's victory and reveals complex motives tied to loyalty and betrayal among Death Eaters. The chapter ends with Harry struggling to reconcile Moody's confession with his previous trust in him.
