During our morning classes with Ma'dam she told Fleur and I to go to the quidditch pitch at 9 to learn more about the third task. That night on our way down to the pitch we ran into Harry and Cedric. Fleur happily talking to him since he had saved Gabrielle.

"What do you reckon the task is?" Harry asked

"I think it might have to do with finding treasure underground." Fleur said "At least that's what Ma'dam thinks."

"Yea but that just might be her reaching for Hagrid's affection again. She felt terrible about being so rude to him before and thinks that he still fancies her. At least she hopes he does and is hoping that whatever he's teaching out there is secretly a sign for her." I said in response feeling a bit bad for her.

We all walked down the dark lawn together there not being too much light since the sky was cloudy. Arriving at the stadium we turned the corner entering through the usual entrance to see that the pitch had been left to grow over.

"What have they done to it?!" Cedric said stopping dead in his tracks. The once beautiful field had large green walls that twisted into one another. Nearly 10 feet tall at the moment.

"They're hedges." Harry said examining the closest one.

"'Ello there!" Bagman called standing in the middle of the field with the Durmstrang boys as we walked over stepping over some smaller hedges that weren't too tall yet. "Well what do you think?" He asked once we got close enough, laughing at Cedric and Harry's shared expression of dread. "Don't worry you'll have your normal quidditch pitch after the task if over. Now I can Imagine you can guess what we're making here."

"Maze" Krum grunted.

"Correct" He beamed happily. "The cup will be at the center of the maze. The first one to it will receive full marks."

"That's it? You just have to solve this maze?" Poliakoff asked, I didn't realized he could speak. I hadn't heard him say anything the entire time.

"Yes but that's not all, there will be creature in the maze provided by Hagrid and spells with different hexes all that sort of thing. Now Cedric and Harry will start since they have the highest marks. Than Miss Eastwood, Mr. Krum, Miss. Delacour and finally Mr. Poliakoff. But you'll all be in with a fighting chance, depending on how fast you can get past the obstacles. Fun huh?" He smiled "Now let's head inside. It's chilly out it." As we left Krum asked Harry to walk away and they left us.

"Well this should be fun" I smirked as we left the pitch. "The pitch better be back next year. I'd like to play quidditch if I return." Cedric smiled when he heard me.

"So you thinking about coming back?" He asked nudging me with his shoulder as I rolled my eyes.

"I may or may not have written my mother a letter and sent it to her by dove." I confessed.

"Dove?" He asked me with a laugh.
