Hmmm, I have the English edition which has different words put in.
 
Pg 15, English edition, softcover:
"and if we proceed, if I curse--"  
"If?" whispered the second voice.  "If?  If 
you follow the plan, Wormtail, the ministry need never know that 
anyone else has disappeared.  You will do it quietly and without  
fuss;"

Because words such us curse and disappeared were used, I assumed that 
Wormtail and Crouch Jr, in the future were going to attack and curse 
Moody ... and because the plan worked, the Ministry didn't know.  

It couldn't have been Cedric becuase, he was not supposed to take the 
cup with Harry. He was a mistake in the plan. Only Harry was supposed 
to win it, not tie with Cedric.
