"What do you mean you saw Crouch on trial?"

"I mean what I said. I got my face dumped in this thing in Dumbledore's office and I saw him on trial," Harry replied, answering Ron's question. "He was sentenced to Azkaban."

"Well, we shouldn't really be worrying about that now, it's not our business anyway. Besides, you need to be completing the third task, Harry," Hermione ordered. The four of them continued walking to the Great Hall, where they soon saw Bill and Mrs. Weasley upon entering.

"Mum?! Bill?! What are you two doing here?!" Ron asked as the Gryffinfour walked up to them, taking their seats at the Gryffindor table.

"We came to watch Harry in the tournament, dear," Mrs. Weasley responded, "Which reminds me, Harry, do be careful, will you? I don't want one of my sons getting hurt."

Brushing past the fact that Ron's mother called him her son, Harry replied, "Mrs. Weasley, Bill, thank you for coming."

After dinner, -which Harry, because of nerves, didn't eat much of- the group walked to the Quidditch field, which was overgrown with grass.

After wishing Harry luck, Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Ron, and Hermione walked to get seats, while Aurora stayed behind.

"Please be careful, Harry. I agree with Mrs. Weasley when she says that she doesn't want you getting hurt."

"I'll be fine, Rory, I promise," Harry told her. Mr. Bagman called for everyone to take their seats, so Aurora quickly pecked him on the lips and walked off, leaving Harry a stuttering mess.

"Everyone, welcome to the third and final task of the 1994 Triwizard Tournament!" Ludo announced. Everyone cheered in response.

"Now for our four champions! Tied for first place, we have Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory! In second, we have Viktor Krum! In third, we have Fleur Delacour!"

The schools all cheered for the champions, waiting for the rules of the task to be announced by Mr. Bagman.

"For this task, the champions will have to go through a maze. Harry and Cedric will go in first, followed by Krum, and then Fleur a few minutes later. Let's begin."

About an hour later, everyone was waiting nervously in the stands. Viktor and Fleur had already come back, however Harry and Cedric were nowhere to be found.

Aurora turned to talk to Ron, when suddenly she heard a scream.

"Cedric!"

The girl wondered what happened.

I don't own Harry Potter. The series belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own Aurora and anything you don't recognize from the books or movies.
