The Maze (Harry Potter 4 and the maze runner)

The vision

"Wormtail, I hope for your sake you bring good news. Nagini has not been fed yet" a cold voice echoed in the room, sinister and alluring all at once.

"It worked master. The tampered Cup led the boy to the maze successfully" Wormtail squealed in delight.

"I hear the boy is not alone" the voice took a menacing turn " tell me Wormtail, what did I tell you to do with the spare?"

"Master...I tried but he escaped our clutches...it was not predicted that Potter would share his glory-

"You've failed me again..." He tutted, feigning pain

"But the boy has made it to the Muggles trapped in the maze...the ministry will be deceived...war will break out...and the dark Lord shall reign once again..." He stuttered 

"I do not put my faith in ifs and buts worm tail" the cold voice said " see to it that it happens"

"Yes master..." Worm tail bowed out and tried to make a hasty exit, but the man with the cold voice was quicker. He pointed his wand, sending a flash of red at his back, so that Wormtail's shrieks painted the walls.

"Cruci-

I snapped up into a sitting position, my fingers fumbling for my wand. The images of a blinding light danced behind my eyelids. I looked up to see Alby watching me from a distant seat. Somebody had patched up my leg, my wand lay to the left of me.

"Those nightmares come often?" He asked. I wiped a sheen of sweat off my face and saw Cedric still asleep on a bunk next to me.

"They're not nightmares" I whispered "although this seems like one". 

Alby chuckled a wry smile " Tell me about it. That's how I felt too, until it became a reality I woke up to every day for the last three years" he paused and looked down at my wand.

"Where did you get that from?". I picked it up hesitantly, testing out his reaction.

"Lumos" the tip of my wand lit up the semi darkness briefly before I put it out. "It's a strange story, maybe you know it" I said

"Your going to have a tough time convincing everyone else your magic. Around here, waking up in a box because some messed up scientists put you there is about as otherworldly as it gets" he snorted, eyes still glued to it.

"You might not be as safe as you think" I said, figuring out how much I could say

"What could be worse than Grievers?" He snorted. A flash of green light pressed behind my eyelids, burning into crimson.

"You have no idea. Grievers aren't even the half of it" I said.

"Tell me everything" he leaned forward " is there a way out of this place?"

"The thing is, if I told you...you might not want to leave" 

He moved back gingerly and sighed " we'll have a meeting in the Glade in the evening. You can tell us all about your magic story and the evil creatures that are chasing you. Till then...you can work like the rest of us shanks" he nodded at a shovel before heading out into the insipid morning.
