Summary
"Together, 1, 2, 3..." Cedric and Harry took hold of the Triwizard Cup....
And things start to go a little differently from there.
Just the smallest amount of interference reeks havoc with the entire Second Wizarding War, and - of course - Harry's life, because when did that ever run true to course? He's not sure he should complain though, given that the Dursleys have yet to make an appearance.
