PEOPLE CHEER AND CLAP ALL AROUND ME. The Beauxbatons dance and sing in French whilst everyone screams for their favourite person. "Silence!" Dumbledore calls out and places his wand into his neck. "Earlier today, Professor Moody placed the Triwizard Cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position." Dumbledore calls out.
"Now, as Miss Black, and Mr. Potter, are tied for first position, they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr. Diggory, and Mr. Krum, and then Miss Delacour." Everyone chants when their favourite Champion gets called. "The first person to touch the cup will be the winner!" The crowd roars at Dumbledore's words.
"I've instructed the staff to patrol the area. Should, at any point, a contestant wish to withdraw from the task, he or she needs only send up red sparks with their wands." Dumbledore says before turning around to us. "Contestants! Gather around. Quickly!" I walk towards the man.
Dumbledore lowers his voice as he speaks. "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." His eyes are on me before he walks past us and breaks us apart. "Champions, prepare yourselves!" I stand beside an entrance to the maze before shooting Harry a slight smile.
The cannon blows and I walk inside the maze. The maze moves to close behind me and it swallows me whole.

I rush through the maze with my wand gripped tightly in my hand. I encountered a bewitched Krum moments ago and managed to dodge his attack and stun him, which allowed me to rush away. I don't want to hurt him, I don't want to kill anyone again.
A mist scatters through the maze before the walls try and close in on me. I rush towards the end, sprinting as it tries to consume me. I make it out and pant slightly. A body crashes into mine and I look at Harry. Relief washes over me. "Harry, are you alright?" I ask and he nods.
I hear a scream, Fleur screamed. Harry and I rush towards the sound and I stand protectively infront of him as Krum stands there. He turns around and light escapes his wand, illuminating my face and his white eyes. He walks past me and I look to the ground as Fleur gets wrapped in vines and rolled beneath the maze.
"Fleur?" Harry calls out. "Reducto!" I yell out and the vines break from her body. Harry sends up sparks and Fleur stands before cowering and running in the opposite direction. The maze tries to close in on Harry and I.
I grab Harry's hand, dragging him with me as I grow my legs to make me run faster. We make it out in time and I hear voices whisper. I spot a light at the end of the maze, The Triwizard Cup. The maze closes and I hear Krum and Cedric shoot spells at each other. "Stupefy!" I yell and the magic hits the both of them. I knock them away from each other and Harry stops Cedric from lunging at Krum.
