I woke up that morning terrified. Today's the day of the second task. Today I have an hour to look in the forest for a doorway out. I get up and get dressed in an outfit I can move comfortably in.

After getting dressed, I grabbed my wand and went to the great hall. I sat at the Gryffindor table, but didn't eat much. James sits next to me. "You'll be fine Lex. You need to eat." I sigh. "I've eaten a little, but I'm not hungry. I'm too nervous." He nods. "Fine. At least you've eaten a little bit."

After breakfast, everyone started heading down to the forest. Right outside, a tent was set up for the Champions. I went in the tent and the Marauders and my girl gang went to the designated area for people watching.

In the tent, the other champions were getting ready. I paced slightly, going over every piece of information that I know about spells and various animals in my head. "Champions to your starting positions!" The announcer person told us. We all went to the beginning of the forest and waited. A boom sounded and we all went into the forest. I went straight and just walked around. I have no idea how I'm going to find the key or the doorway, but I knew it'd be pretty deep. Suddenly I heard a sound I never hoped I'd ever hear.....

I heard James shouting in pain. I ran towards the sound. "JAMES POTTER WHERE ARE YOU?!" I get it. That probably wasn't my smartest move, but you'd do the same thing if your brother was screaming in pain. I suddenly froze in my tracks. James was laying on the floor, bleeding to death. I ran over to him when I felt somebody grab my wrists. I tried to fight them, but they were stronger than I am. I couldn't tear my gaze away from James as tears streamed down my face. The person pressed their wand against my neck and said to me, "give me the key Potter. Or your brother will die." The voice sounded female. It's the Beauxbatons champion. I was Terrified, but didn't want James to die. "I don't have a key. I haven't found it yet." She didn't believe me. I knew that I have to talk to Saphira to save James. Saph. Tramsfer some of your strength to James. Please.... I can't let him die.... Explain later Lex. I'll do it, but I'm curious why. And she does. James's skin regains a little color and he is bleeding a little less. The Beauxbatons girl is so confused that she let her grip on me go slack. I used this to my opportunity and jabbed my elbow into her stomach. I then removed my glove and used my wandless magic to heal James. After I healed James, I ran off in search of the key, while putting my glove back on.

I suddenly saw an owl. Strange. It flew off and I decided to follow it. It led me to a tree where there was a small impression I a tree. As I examined it, I noticed that it's a key. Yes! I grabbed the key and ran off.

I came to a clearing in the woods and saw a group of doors arranged in a semi-circle. The doors were all different. There was a galaxy door, a pastal rainbow door, a regular rainbow, a polka dot door, and three plain doors. I wasn't sure which door to choose, so I pulled off my glove and whispered. "Leadus al doorus" it's a simple spell, asking to be lead to the door. The pastal rainbow door glowed and I put my glove on, then went towards it. I first asked Saphira something important. Saph, two things. One, can you get James to safety? And two, is this the right door? I already got him out of the forest Lex. And yes, it is. You're the first one Lex. Good job. Thanks Saph. I put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened and I stumbled out, only to be met by the sounds of cheering.
