Now me Eowynn:

 OOP pg 805 US edition; 'Only one pair were still battling, apparently unaware of the new arrival..." Come on,you can do better than that!" he yelled, his voice echoing around the cavernous room.

The second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest...

Harry released Neville, though he was unaware of doing so. He was jumping down the steps again, pulling out his wand, as Dumbledore turned to the dias too..."

Now I need to go and look at GoF and the graveyard scene again, but I have thought about this scene several times. I do not believe that Bellatrix was the one that cast the spell killing Sirius ( I have an idea who). If you are in a fight with someone you are ducking and dodging blows, you never have your chest squared up to your opponent it is off to one side or another, protected. The blow that hit Sirius was dead on. I believe that there is someone else down by the duo and it was 'them' that cast the spell. No one else would know since they were all busy and didn't turn to look until after it had happened, and Harry was running toward the veil. Now if it wasn't Bellatrix her scream could be one not of triumph, but anger/fear. She wanted to kill Harry, and got denied,then she wanted to kill Sirius and was denied that as well, plus they had just failed to recover the orb that their lord sent them after. She is the only one to escape, and she gets to endure the wrath of Voldemort on
 her own, I think I would be screaming to.
Those are just my thoughts, and I will have to get back to you about who killed Cedric IMO.

Eowynn ( who has turned into a bit of a lurker.)
