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

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr. Diggory..." Dumbledore said.

The crowd cheer on hearing his name.

"Mr. Potter and Ms.Freya tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr. Krum..." Dumbledore continued.

The Bulgarian crowd go nuts.

"And Ms. Delacour." Dumbledore siad.

The Beauxatons screamed.

"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." Dumbledore spoke to the contestants personally, "In the maze, you'll find not dragons or creatures of the deep. Instead, you'll face something more challenging. You see, people change in the maze. Oh find the cup if you can, but be very weary you could just lose yourselves along the way."

"Champions! Prepare yourselves." Moody said.

Cedric hugs his father. Draco rushes over to Maurelle.

"Hey, you should be with the others!" Maurelle though happy Draco came for her, he shouldn't be there.

Draco hugged her and held her in his arms.

"I wanted to wish you luck, and please please be safe." He said.

"I know we've been dating for a few months but it's still hard getting used to this side of you." She said.

He looked into her eyes, "I'm your boyfriend, of course, I'm going to worry about my girlfriend."

"Oooh so we are official official now." She smirked.

"Oh shut it." He kissed her.

"It's about to start, you should head out." She said.

"Watch yourself, okay? Last time Hogwarts had this tournament, people died. I wouldn't want the same fate for you." He said.

"I'm sure I'll be okay. I promise." She cupped his face.

They kissed one last time before splitting off.

"On the count of three... ONE..." Dumbledore groans as the cannon goes off.

Mr. Filch shrugs comically. Harry, Maurelle, and Cedric enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes up behind them and a heavy mist sets in, the maze is many stories tall. As they start traversing the maze, creature noises are all around. Cedric is walking along, the maze walls begin to close in on him. He makes a run for it. Fleur is running around scared, she is attacked and knocked down. Viktor comes along and sees she's unconscious on the ground, he walks on. Harry sees Fleur being swallowed into the undergrowth. Maurelle continues on before the wall's close her in. She hears something going on along the walls around her.

"Fleur!Fleur!" Harry's voice echos.

Then a red flash appears above. Cedric's voice can be heard echoing the walls as well. Maurelle sees an opening that reveals the cup, she was about to make a run for it, but the walls closed in. She started to run back but the other end was closing in as well. She used a spell that spewed out fire from her wand, burning the walls around her. Once she finished, it revealed another path. She made her way, zig-zagging along until she found Viktor. He was on the ground, his eyes clouded. He was under the Imperius curse. She removed the curse from him and ran back to where she saw the cup. She then later found the walls enclosing, almost cocooning something. She used her wand to release its grasp and it revealed an unconscious Fleur. Maurelle took her wand and raised a red spark. When she arrived where the cup was, it was gone.
