"Where the hell is Athena?" Fleur asked before she started her nervous ramble while the Beauxbatons delegation sat back and watched, knowing they couldn't do anything. Then, as Atlas and Damon opened the door to the carriage, Fleur whipped her head and hoped to find her fiance.

"She'll be here," Damon voiced with utmost certainty before looking at his brother for backup.

"Of course! She's always late to the party!" Atlas chimed while Fleur gave him a stressed-out face. Danielle pulled her down to sit and looked at the Ashryver brothers with an awkward smile.

"Fleur? My child, we have to go now," the Headmistress said as she held out her hand for Fleur. Fleur took a couple more deep breaths as she stood up. Atlas bickered with Nicholas as Danielle tried to calm Fleur down with Damon and Madame Maxine. Fleur was shaking and had heard bits of Athena's and Mackenzie's conversation about the third task. Some dangerous creatures lie within the maze. Creatures that no one would want to face.

"Where's Athena?" Nicholas questioned as he looked around, seeing every student, but none of them was Athena, Mackenzie, or even Alexis when he saw Allison.

"How would I know?" Atlas retorted, looking around for his twin. "They didn't tell me shit." Atlas huffed, annoyed about not knowing where his twin was with her best friends. He was often jealous of the Auclair's ability just because of how convenient and practical it was; he was slightly mad that only the women in his family would get it, which would be rarer as his line continued.

As students made their way to their beloved Quidditch field that was ruined for the task, most were unhappy, but what could they do? Nothing. Cheers were made as they walked past the champions; they didn't have a good look on. They were nervous, scared, the normal bad feelings. But, if they win this task, they get all the glory.

So the points don't matter in the end.

Waste of time, really.

But they do have a starting advantage; that's just it.

"Okay, Harry, remember the spells I taught you. I swear to Merlin, I will kill you if you don't remember the spells or how to use them." Athena emphasised while Harry looked at her, nodding furiously and trying to take every word she said. Finally, Athena turned slightly to where Fleur and her group were coming from. "My wife's coming, anyways. Strut like your father did. I can't believe you said your father didn't strut. Did you know I was floored when Uncle Remy told me what you said? Your father would be disappointed if he heard that."

"How did you know my father strutted?" Harry stammered while Mackenzie chuckled when she heard. She was busy with Hermione bombarding her with questions about everything.

"Uncle James was among the most popular people, together with the Marauders. Therefore, he struts; trust me, I know." Athena declared, with Mackenzie nodding in agreement. She remembered bits of when the Marauders were visiting the Ashryvers. She was there sometime because her father would drop her off and goes out with Lucian, leaving her with the chaos that is the Marauders. She doesn't see Sirius or Remus much, so she doesn't recognise Remus on the train the other night.
