The Golden Quadruplets

chapter 60

year 4

Clementines pov:

Today was the third and final task of The Tri-Wizard Tournament.

i couldn't lie and say i wasn't scared, but i was mostly excited, because i believed that Harry could win this, i also believed my brother could.

"Harry!" i shouted, pushing past people through the halls.
"need something?" he asked.
"i just wanted to wish you good luck" i looked around, then pulled Harry aside.
"and this" i smiled, pulling him into a quick kiss.
he smiled.
"thanks" he nodded, walking off.
i exhaled, standing flustered in a corner.

"you could have been a little more secretive"
i jumped, turning to see Cedric leaning his back against the wall, staring at me with crossed arms.
"why are you stalking me creep" i said, walking over towards him.
"i'm not stalking anyone, you need to get your prescription checked" he raised a brow. i shook my head.

Cedric began walking away but i pulled on the sleeve of his robes.
"good luck Cedric" i smiled.
"thanks" he smiled and turned to walk away.

"Hallie! Sage!" i said, running up to sit next to them, and our friend group.
the twins sat with Hallie and Sage, Sage sat next to Fred of course, Hallie sitting next to George and Mc, Karl sitting on Hallie's other side.
Hermione and Ron were sat behind us.

"you're practically late" Hallie said as i sat next to Hermione.
"yeah almost" i said breathlessly, getting situated.

Harry's pov.

music was playing in the background as i walked out, it stopped once Dumbledore began to speak.
"Earlier today Professor Moody placed
the tri-wizards cup deep within the
maze. Only he knows its exact position"
catching my attention.
i looked over at all the champions, then over at my friends.

"now as Mr Diggory..." the crowd cheered just by hearing his name.
Dumbledore continued.
"..and Mr Potter" my friends cheers the loudest as i could hear i smiled up at them.
"tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum" the Bulgarian crowd going ballistic.
"the first person to touch the cup will be the winner." everyone in the crowd roared again.
"I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather round"

Dumbledore walked down from his podium.
we all gathered in a circle under his arms.

"in the maze you'll find not dragons or creatures of the deep. Instead you'll face something more challenging. You see, people change in the maze. Oh find the cup if you can, but be very weary you could just lose yourselves along the way." he spoke softly and quietly to only the champions.

he split us apart now.
"champions! prepare yourselves!" he shouted.
everyone walked to their entrance of the maze.
the crowd continuously cheering once again.
i stood next to Professor Moody.
watching as Cedric hugged his father.
i gave a nod to Cedric, he nodded back.

"on the count of three.. One!" Dumbledore was interrupted by the cannon already going off. Filch shrugging as Dumbledore let out a groan.
i turned around and slowly entered into the maze, the music behind me grimly fading.

the place that i entered from closed up, the maze capturing me inside, i now had no escape, i watched as the cheers disappeared.
i began walking through after a push of encouragement from myself, i steadily and anxiously walked around, looking around at my surroundings.
