As the days went by, Viktor's training became more intense than ever. He knew that the final task would be the toughest challenge yet, and he was determined to come out on top. He spent countless hours practicing spells and perfecting his wandwork, pushing himself to his limits.

Amelia was always by his side, offering words of encouragement and support. She could see the determination in Viktor's eyes, and she knew that he was going to give it his all. But despite their optimism, there was a sense of unease that hung over the tournament.

Karkaroff's absence was concerning, and the rumors that circulated among the delegates only added to the tension. Viktor and Amelia couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go wrong, just like it had during the Quidditch finals.

Despite their worries, Viktor remained focused on his training. He knew that he couldn't let anything distract him from his goal. He practiced relentlessly, honing his skills and perfecting his strategy. Amelia was his constant companion, offering support and encouragement every step of the way.

As the day of the final task approached, Viktor and Amelia were both nervous and excited. They knew that this was the moment they had been working towards for months, and they were ready to give it their all. They could only hope that their hard work and determination would be enough to see them through to the end.

Amelia and Viktor were casually walking near the Black Lake, enjoying being together and the calm and peaceful environment. However, their serene time was suddenly disrupted by the surprising arrival of Professor Moody.

But their peaceful moment was soon interrupted by the unexpected appearance of Professor Moody.

Amelia, who was still wary of the professor after their previous encounter at the Yule Ball, tried to sound cordial. "Good morning, professor," she greeted him politely.

Viktor, too, was cautious around Moody after his warning to Amelia about her Galdr. He stood closer to her, ready to protect her if needed, and simply nodded a greeting.

But Professor Moody, known for his straightforward and rough manner, didn't waste any time. "Constant vigilance, Vardlokkur singer," he said, causing Amelia to feel a shiver down her spine. Her well-kept secret of being a Vardlokkur singer, something she hadn't even revealed to Viktor, was now uncovered.

Amelia's heart sank as she realized that Professor Moody knew about her hidden talent. She felt vulnerable and exposed, wondering what other secrets he might have uncovered. She looked to Viktor for support, seeking comfort and reassurance in his presence.

Viktor noticed the change in Amelia's demeanor and immediately placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Is everything alright, Hedström?" he asked with concern in his voice.

Moody let out a gruff chuckle. "Don't worry, Miss Hedström. Your secret is safe with me. I know the power of a good Vardlokkur," he said, his magical eye shifting between the two of them.

Viktor looked at Moody skeptically. He couldn't quite shake off the feeling that something wasn't right with the professor. "Thank you for your reassurance, Professor," he said, trying to sound polite. "We should be on our way now," he added, pulling Amelia closer and starting to walk away.

Viktor's confusion was evident on his face as he looked to Amelia for an explanation. She stood there, frozen, caught between revealing her secret to him or keeping it buried deep within her. It was a secret she had guarded, not just for her own sake, but to protect those she cared about, particularly Viktor.
