Stephanie hugged her father tightly.

"You'll do great Stephanie. I know you will. My daughter has already accomplish many great things. You will win." Snape said proudly.

"Thank you.." Stephanie hugged the rest of her friends.

"Don't die on me Steph.." Draco said.

"I won't.."

"I love you so much." He kissed her and then whispered something in her ear. She went wide eyed.

"W-What.."

"You better get going Steph.." She went by the maze.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Ms. Snape..." The crowd cheered when they heard her name. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Diggory... 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. 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." Dumbledore announces.

"Champions! Prepare yourselves." Moody said.

"On the count of three... ONE..." The canon goes off, interrupting Dumbledore. Stephanie and Harry enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes behind Stephanie. All she could see was mist. She starts walking with her wand out.

"Harry!? Cedric!? Krum? Fleur? Anyone!?" Stephanie yelled but no one replied. "Who the hell put me in this tournament.." Suddenly Stephanie sees a figure. "Who are you? Is that Fleur?" She approaches the figure to see her mother. "M-Mom.."

"Sweetie.. you've grown so much. You're so beautiful. How is everything?"

"Mom is that really you?"

"Of course it is."

"N-No.. you're dead. You can't be here."

"How dare you say that." Her "mother" turned into this hideous beast. It starts attacking Stephanie. She tries to defend herself to the best of her ability. The creature scratches her leg and it starts bleeding. It burned her. She screamed so loud that the crowd outside the maze could hear her. Draco gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hearing her scream. Viktor and Fleur were already out of the maze at this point. Stephanie manages to get away from the beast. She runs and finds Harry and Cedric.

"Harry! Cedric! Help me pleas-" The creature stabs her in her stomach with its sharp claws. Stephanie falls to the ground and the monster vanishes.

"Stephanie!" Cedric rushes to her. He sends a red spark in the air. "Don't worry you're safe now." He brushes a piece of hair out of her face. "Everything will be alright now. I have to go. Goodbye Stephanie." He leaves with Harry when she is transferred to outside of the maze.

"STEPHANIE!" Draco screamed and rushed down to her. Stephanie had many scratches and bruises and she was all bloody. She coughed up blood. All of her friends rushed down to her. Madam Pomfrey put her on a stretcher and rushed to a tent. Madam Pomfrey then set her on a bed and got some materials. All of her friends went inside the tent.

"Stephanie what happened.." Draco said with tears in her eyes. He brushed some hair out of her face.

"M-Mom.. it wasn't her. It was a monster.."
