Now me:

When I read the clip for some reason I just thought it was a hearing 
for Harry. My theory is Fudge convinced the ministry that Harry AKed 
Cedric all by himself. It would kind of fit after how he (Fudge)
reacted at the end of GoF. Then Harry was about to get the kiss when 
he did the patronus charm to save himself but it wasn't strong 
enough. Then just as Harry is about to bite the dust the old crowd 
comes to save Harry and they go into hiding. 

Though my theory has lots of holes in it and is probably *way* of 
base its the theory I got and I'm sticking to it.

who wishes she hadn't been tempted and read the clip and is now 
unable to sleep with anticipation but now can stay up and re-read 
all for books without getting sleepy.
