The last part of the tournament was today. Excited to see who wins, i really do its one of us, Cedric or Potter to be honest. I just want Hogwarts to win. As I got ready, i saw my father talking with Draco.

"Whats going on here?" I asked them. They turned to me.

"Nothing, just a friendly talk." My father says as he places a hand on Dracos shoulder. "Mr. Malfoy, do you mind if I talk to my daughter?"

"Uh no, go ahead professor. Ill see you in a bit Darling." He gives me a smile as he walks off. There was nobody in the room but us.

"Someone will talk to you. You have to stay here. Once its done, you come to me."

"Who wants to talk to me?" He looks down at me. I saw the guilt in his eyes. I closed my eyes. "Alright." I whispered. "Just tell Draco that ill be there soon."

"Of course." He takes one last look at me as he leaves. He did tried his best to tell Barty to not let her join, but he refused and said that Voldemort wanted her. There was no going back. Daphne sat down on the couch, staring at the paintings.

"Snape." I heard a whisper. My head peaked up. I saw movement in the fireplace. I saw Barty. I got closer and saw his face.

"What do you want?" I sassed.

"Lovely seeing you dear." He smirks. I just groaned.

"Tell me what you want."

"In a rush? Fine. At exactly 7, you'll meet Wormtail at the cemetery." I started breathing heavily. I didn't want to go back there. "Now now Daphne, nothing will happen to you, for now."

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

"Dont mind it. The lord himself asked me to tell you that you have a very important part in this game." Voldemort? He asked for me? "Youre going to do what wormtail asks you to do."

"And if i dont?"

"Your sweet father will take the hit." My heart sunk. Why do they have to use him? Thats where they got me. "You dont want that dont you dear?"

"Shove off." I spat, i had tears coming in. I grabbed the bowl of water and set the fire out. I charged out of the room and whimpering quietly. I wiped my tear as I started to see students. Acting as if there was nothing wrong. I got the bleachers and saw Draco saving me a seat.

"What happened?" My father asked me. I turned to him.

"Barty came." He straightens up. The two were huddled in the corner, whispering. Draco saw what was happening. Why have they gone so secretive? They're acting strange. He saw the way Daphne was, sacred, nervous. Daphne turns to her father, giving him a look as she walks to him. "Sorry im late."

"Its alright, your father said it was important." She clears her throat, looking ahead. Her leg was bouncing up and down, she played with rings. "Are you okay? Looks like you seen-"

"Im fine Draco." She looks at him, smiling. Part of the nerves calmed down. "Im okay." She placed her hand on his cheek. Music is playing and a large crowd is gathered. The champions came together.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory..." Dumbledore announced as he turns to him. The crowd cheer on hearing his name. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum..." The bulgarian crowd go nuts. "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. The champions huddled around Dumbledore.
"On the count of three... ONE..."
