Conall Wolf

46) Third task

It was the following morning and it was really restless in the carriage. The cabin was empty when Conall woke up, and Conall sees a note. It was from Faolán and it says that they went to the Great Hall to get some breakfast. They let him sleep because they thought that he could use all the sleep that is needed. Conall smiles at the note and he jumps out of his bunk bed. He dresses into some comfy clothes. He knows that he will get his champion outfit later.

Conall enters the Great Hall and everyone is talking excitedly about the last task, and who will become the Triwizard champion and win. The task will take place at 3 o'Clock, so Conall can still wait for a long time. Conall can't eat anything. His throat feels thick and swallowing hurts.

While he was trying to eat some more, madame Baudelaire walks up to him. Conall looks up questioning. Does he need to do something already?

"Monsieurs Wolf, would you like to follow me? There are some people waiting for you." Madame Baudelaire says. Conall and Faolán look excited to each other. Are their parents here? They immediately stand up, and without regrets Conall can leave his plate behind. They say goodbye to their friends and they follow madame Baudelaire.

They are going to the same room as where Conall needed to go when his name got chosen. Conall feels excited to walk here again. Last time it was the start of this journey, and now it is the end. They keep walking and when they enter the room Conall immediately spots his parents. They both walk happy to them, and their mother Chloé walks towards them with open arms. She hugs Conall tight, and Faolán starts to talk with their father Tony. They switch around and Conall now hugs his father. He is glad to see their faces again.

"Why didn't we know that you would come!" Conall says happily.

"There is a reason some things are called surprises. We got the letter with the question if we wanted to see you guys, and of course we don't want to miss our son win this tournament!" Tony says with a wink. Conall laughs and shakes his head.

"It is a 1 out of 3 chance dad, it is not sure yet if I actually win." Conall laughs. They start to talk a bit and madame Baudelaire joins them. Then they hear that they can spend time together until the task will start, and Conall really wants to introduce them again to Katsumi. They have seen him a few times when they were spending the holidays together, but he changed a lot since the last time and there also changed a lot between Conall and Katsumi.

They find him in the courtyard and there they start to talk as well. The whole afternoon they spend together, going to the favourite parts of their father. Conall sometimes forgets that his father went to Hogwarts, and that he might even know this place better than anyone else.

Half an hour before the task Conall was taken apart by madame Baudelaire. He said goodbye to his parents, he would see them again right before the task. Conall gets his outfit for this Task and this one is by far his favourite. He has a dark blue pants with lots of pockets, which he loves! This might mean that the needs to carry some things with him, so that will be interesting. He has a light blue shirt with the Beauxbatons crest on it. Over it he has a bomber jacket in the same dark blue as his pants. For some reason he loves this dark blue more than the light blue, and he is fully in love with this outfit.

After the outfit check it was time to go to the lake. There will be the start to the Last Task. Conall gets excited on the way and he walks happily with madame Baudelaire. She tells him some stories about previous triwizard tournaments that she had seen. However, non of them were won by Beauxbatons. They arrive at the tents, and there is his family waiting again. He walks nervously to them, the nerves are now really starting to come. It is about to start.

Conall can hear some distance noises, but it isn't that much as the previous Tasks, how come so? Conall doesn't have that much time to think because everyone needs to gather by Robin Leavy. His family leaves to the stand, and Conall stands before madame Baudelaire, who lays her hand on his shoulder.
