Students were sitting on the stands and chanting for the four champions, who were standing at four different entrances to the labyrinth.
"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the triwizard cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position." Dumbledore began explaining as the students cheering died down slowly, "Now as Mr Diggory and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum. The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. 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."
And with those words he turned around to face the contestants, leaving the students waiting to know more.
While Cass was eagerly looking at Harry, Alice tapped a finger on her shoulder twice.
Jasper had sat with Lee and if that wouldn't have meant that she had to be next to Fred, she would have sat with him.
She still liked him.
He wouldn't leave her head fully, no matter what she did.
Cass looked over and brought her full attention to Alice, "What's up?" She inquired.
"Julie asked me out earlier." Alice mumbled slowly while biting down on her bottom lip.
"Merlin what?" She asked a but too loud because a few heads turned, "I'm so happy for you! You better have said yes, eh?"
"Bloody 'course I did." Alice chuckled softly while rolling her eyes playfully.
Cass sighed happily and drove a hand through her freshly washed hair, "When's the date?"
"A few days after the holidays have begun because her family spends most of their holidays down in Brighton and mum's decided to stay in London this year." She squealed happily.
"That's amazing." Cass smiled brightly before pulling her into a tight hug.
Suddenly their hug was being pulled apart by Dumbledore's next words, "On the count of three. One..."
And the canon went off. Filched shrugged comically as Harry and Cedric went into the maze. Then Viktor and last but not least, Fleur.
Then it was quiet. Students talked and cheered occasionally but nobody could really see what was going on in the mace before a bright red spark went off into the sky somewhere in the maze.
