Ternion || Oliver Wood

Chapter 19

The Maze and Nightmares of the third

"You can't go to the third task" Oliver said as I lay here in the bed inside the hospital wing, still sick like yesterday night

"Why not?" I asked him who was sitting beside me

"Because you're sick Agape" he said as he played with my hair

"But I can walk" I said because I really need to be there

"Tell her Madam Pomfrey" he said and turned to Madam Pomfrey who is just in the other bed tending another sick student

"You're fever is still present Ms. Godfrey, you can't go, besides it's cold outside and it'll just worsen it" Madam Pomfrey said as she turned to us after tending the other student from Gryffindor

"But it's the third task, I must be there" I tried to convince them but in the end they really didn't let me go

"Hey" a familiar voice said, I turned my back and saw Cedric and Rose

"Hey Ced, Hey Rose" I greeted them with a smile as I sat down my bed

"How are you feeling?" Cedric asked as he sat down beside me

"Good, but they won't let me go watch the third task" I said as I pout and looked at Oliver who was just standing there with Rose

"Its fine you can watch the third task while still staying here in your room" Rose said and took her wand out

"And how am I supposed to do that?" I raised a brow as I looked at Rose with confusion

"Here" she said and muttered a curse and a TV like screen but its form is water-like

"Wicked" I said as I looked at it and it showed the crowd from the maze where the third task is happening

"You guys should go, Madam Pomfrey can take care of me" I said, Cedric stood up and waved me a goodbye

"Take care" Oliver said as he leaned to give me a kiss on the cheeks

"You too" I said and looked at Rose who looking at us looking disturbed

"I'm gonna head out first" she said and left the hospital wing which made us laugh

When Oliver left the hospital wing my eyes were just locked in the screen, watching like a part of the crowd, "Would you like some water?" Madam Pomfrey asked and I just gave a nod and thanked her

"Silence!" Dumbledore said while pointing his wand in his neck for his voice to be louder like he had a microphone on his hand

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr. Diggory..." The crowd from Hufflepuff cheered and I smiled as I saw him with his father who raised his arm proudly, "and Mr. Potter" The Gryffindors stood up and cheered for Harry, "Tied for first position with eighty-five points each they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr. Krum with eighty points..." The students of the Durmstrang institute goes nuts for the mention of the name of their champion "And in third place, Miss Fleur Delacour, of Beauxbaton Academy!" Dumbledore announced, cheers and applause erupted from the students from Beauxbaton Academy

"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 said and the champions gathered around him for he had something to say to them
