Music was playing as the large crowd cheered us on as the other champions and I emerged into the arena. I smelled the sent of plant and tree and could only guess it was a maze. Dumbledore walked up to the podium and cleared his throat. I looked at Severus and shot him an uneasy look. He subtily nodded. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. "Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position." I was suddenly alarmed. What is Moody up to? "Now as Miss Vilkas..." The crowd cheered after hearing my name. "and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum..." The bulgarian crowd went 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." He instructed. We did as told. Albus put his hand on my shoulder. "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." He said and then let us go. "Champions! Prepare yourselves." Moody shouted. I saw Cedric hug his father. I looked to Harry. "No matter what happens, know that I will always will have your back." I said. He nodded looking a bit more confident. I turned toward the entrance of the maze. "On the count of three... ONE..." The cannon went off. Mr Filch shrugged comically causing Dumbledore to groan.

Harry and I entered the maze through different entrances. I turned to see one last glimps of Severus as the entrance closed up. I turned back to see heavy mist set in. I started to walk while hearing creature noises all around. I suddenly got Moody's scent and followed it. After awhile I saw the cup. I ran towards it and grabbed it as Harry and Cedric did. I felt a tug just behind my navel and felt the familiar pull of apperation.
