Ariana Dumbledore || Harry Potter

25| maze runner

I wrapped the scarf tightly around my neck as I sighed and began to fix my hair.

My hands were literally shaking I was so nervous for the last task. Harry and I had just started to become closer, and I can't imagine if something were to happen to him.

Hermione came up behind me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "Ariana stop worrying, Harry can do this."

"But what if he's not? What if something happens?" My hands start to become clammy and my face heats up. "Positive thoughts Ariana, positive thoughts." She reassures me the whole time we walk to the third task.

The three of us make our way to the stands carefully. My leg continues to shake every second as Hermione try's to calm me down.

When Harry and my Uncle step out into the arena I stand and cheer loudly. "Let's go Harry!" I scream at the top of my lungs as everyone around me does the same.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. 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."

Uncle speaks to them quickly as the contestants fall into line.

"On the count of three. One. Two. Three."

I watch as Harry disappears into the maze, the opening closing shut.

"We can't even see them?" I was shaky horribly trying to at least get a glance into the maze.

We sat there for what seemed like forever, until someone withdrew from the competition. I was kind of hoping it was Harry, knowing that then he would be safe.

Fleur lays stiff on the ground in front of us, and people immediately rush over to her. She sits up coughing violently, and I only begin to worry more.

Minutes pass as Hermione and Ron try to distract me from the events within the maze. "Come on Harry where are you."

About ten minutes later Harry appears and I sigh with relief. I rush up to him and my stomach instantly drops. Harry covers Cedrics body as I cover my hand with my mouth letting out a quiet sob.

Cedric Diggory was dead.
