"Yes, sir."

Harry replied before he looked at me and responded, "Ingenious. A rather rare herb-- gilliweed, not something you find in your everyday garden."

I looked at what he was showing us and Harry questioned him, "Bubblejuice, sir?" Severus shook his head,  "Veritaserum. The use of this on a student is regrettably forbidden, however, should you ever steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice."

Severus closed the door in Harry's face after pulling me inside.

I looked at him closely as he said, "The nightmares-- I know about them." I raised an eyebrow, "Professor, it's nothing, I promise you this." He shook his head, "Oh, it's something."

I rolled my eyes, "And what might that be?"

He walked closer to me, "He's back." I scoffed, "Impossible, Harry got rid of him. He can't be-- Wait!" Severus nodded and turned away before I said, "Mad-Eye isn't Mad-Eye, is he?"

He shook his head, "I made a promise that I would protect you, so I am warning you-- be careful because you don't know what's gonna happen next."

I nodded before walking out of the store, a sigh escaping my lips.

Music is playing and a large crowd is gathered. The champions emerge.

I listened as Dumbledore spoke, "Only Professor Moody knows the tri-wizards cup exact position. Now as Mr. Diggory..." The crowd cheers on hearing his name, "and Mr. Potter and Ms. Lupin tied for first position, they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr. Krum..." The Bulgarian crowd goes nuts.

"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." I was standing directly next to Harry, squeezing his hand tight, anxiety swarming my blood stream as Dumbledore continued, "In the maze, you'll find not dragons or creatures of the deep."

"You see, people change in the maze

"You see, people change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can, but be very weary, you could lose yourself along the way." Mad-Eye then spoke up, "Champions!"

Cedric hugs his father and I hug Fred and pull back from his to whisper, "I love you." He pressed his gentle lips into mine, "I love you too, Jade." I smiled and hugged him once more as tears trickled down my cheeks and he pulled away, wiping my tears away with his thumbs, this action caused me to smile. "On the count of three..." Dumbledore began as I made my way back to Harry and he grabbed my hand once more, "ONE..."

Mr. Filtch shrugs, comically. Dumbledore groans. Harry, Cedric and I enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes up behind each of us. Heavy mist sets in, we pan out to see the maze is many stories tall.
