It was a few days later and I was making my way to the front of the stand for the third and final task I had no idea what we had to do this time but I knew it was dangerous. I saw Hermione in the stands and gave her a smile and wink as she smiled back at me with a slight blush on her cheeks. People were all around us cheering with banners of me and Harry's names on them in the Gryffindor colours. 

"Earlier today, Professor Moody placed the Triwizard Cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now, as Mr L/N (Cheers) and Mr Potter (Cheers) are tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze, followed by Mr Krum (Cheers) and Miss Delacour," Dumbeldore said.

"Come on! Krum! Krum! Krum!" Igor said trying to rally his students. 

"The first person to touch the cup will be the winner! I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter. Should, at any point, a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants! Gather around. Quickly! In the maze, you'll find no dragons or creatures of the deep. Instead, you'll face something even more challenging. You see, people change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can. But be very wary, you could just lose yourselves along the way," Dumbledore said. 

"Can we use any means necessary to win?" I said getting a nod. 

"Champions, prepare yourselves! Good luck," Dumbledor said as I went in first. 

The maze was creepy right off the bat as once I had entered the leaves moved closing off my exit and all the noise from the crowds was gone in an instant. I made my way through the maze going nowhere in particular since I had no way to know where I was going. I was walking down a particularly narrow part of the maze when I heard something behind me and was instantly knocked off my feet. I looked up and saw a few red sparks guess someone gave up that didn't take long I thought as I brushed myself off. I decided to pick up the pace a began running around I then saw Harry and Krum behind him with his wand raised. 

"Get down! Expelliarmus!" I said disarming Krum and knocking him to the ground.  

"No, don't! Stop! He's bewitched, Y/N" Harry said as I walked over to Krum ready to attack. 

"Get off me!" I said pushing Harry away.  

"He's bewitched!" Harry said as I regained myself. 

"Yes," I said as we saw the cup.

We both ran toward it was roots came up from the ground bidding at our feet I was soon pulled one by a few and my wand fell out of my hand. 

"Harry! Harry!" I yelled as I wrestled against the roots that were constricting around my body. 

"Harry!" I yelled once more.

"Reducto!" Harry yelled as he hit roots and I shook free before grabbing my wand as Harry helped me to my feet.

"Thanks," I said catching my breath.

"No problem," Harry said.

"You know, for a moment there, l thought you were gonna let it get me," I said.

"For a moment, so did l," Harry said.

"Some game, huh?" I said.

"Some game," Harry said.

We soon saw the cup again and ran for it almost getting swallowed by the inclosing hedges then were now moving after with the wind. 

"Go! Go on, take it. You saved me, take it!" I said. 

"Together. One, two. three!" We said as we both grabbed the cup and ended up somewhere else. 

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. You?" Harry asked. 

"Fine. Where are we?" I said as I stood up.  

"I've been here before," Harry said.

"lt's a Portkey. Harry, the cup is a Portkey," I said looking at the cup.

Harry then cried out in pain as he put his hand on his scar I then turned to him only to be hit by a spellbinding me and Harry to a grave. I then saw Wormtail appear with something in his arms he then dropped it into a boloing cauldron before turning to us. 

"Bone of the father, unwillingly given. Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed. Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken. The Dark Lord shall rise again," Wormtail said as the cauldron became Voldemort.

"It can't be," I said under my breath. 

"My wand, Wormtail. Hold out your arm," Voldemort said before regaining his wand. 

"Master. Thank you, master," Wormtail said presenting his cut-off arm.  

"The other arm, Wormtail. Welcome, my friends. Thirteen years it's been, and yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. l confess myself, disappointed," Voldemort said after using Wormtails arm to summon the death eaters. 

"Deatheaters," I said as Harry struggled against the grace we are held by the gravestone.

"Not one of you tried to find me. Crabbe! Macnair! Goyle! Not even you, Lucius," Voldemort said as he took off the masks and they fell to other knees.

"My Lord, had l detected any sign, a whisper of your whereabouts," Lucius said but was cut off.

"There were signs, my slippery friend. And more than whispers," Voldemort said.

"I assure you, my Lord, I have never renounced the old ways. The face l have been obliged to present each day since your absence that is my true mask," Lucius said.

"I returned," Wormtail said.

"Out of fear, not loyalty. Still, you have proved yourself useful these past few months, Wormtail," Voldemort said.

"Thank you, master. Thank you," Wormtail said as Voldemort gave him a metal hand. 

"And now to you, Harry Potter, and my errant son. The two of you standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days. The boy who lived. How lies have fed your legend, Harry." Voldemort said tuning to us. 

"Shall I reveal what really happened that night 13 years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? Yes, shall I? It was love," Voldemort said.
