❝ Third and final task. ❝

████████████████████████████

Fleur was already standing with the rest of the champions with a tense expression but did well to hide it. Probably not from her girlfriend's observant gaze who waves at her from besides Daphne and Elias. It was a sweet sentiment that made Fleur slightly blush and smile back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the third and final task of the Triwizard tournament is about to begin! Let me remind you how the points currently stand! Tied to first place, with eighty five points each, Mr. Cedric Diggory and Mr. Harry Potter, both of Hogwarts school!" Loud claps and cheers can make the birds in the Forbidden forest to fly away. "In second place with eighty five points, Miss Fleur Delacour of Beauxbaton academy!" Fleur could've sworn she heard Aurora yell louder. "And in third place with just ten points away from second, Mr. Viktor Krum of Durmstrang institute!"

Meetin Harry's gaze from the middle and down, Aurora mouths and possibly said aloud, "you got this!" He returns with a comforting smile.

"So. . . on my whistle, Harry and Cedric!" Bagman announces. "Three, two, one." He then blew the whistle in a reasonable amount of time, further errupting the crowd to go wild, each sides chanting Harry or Cedric's name with full glory.

"Oh — I feel like something bad'll happen." Aurora sinks in her seat, eyes glazed with worry when she spots Fleur waving at her mother and little sister.

"It's a maze." Daphne snorts, finished clapping like the rest of the Slytherins. Slytherins who would rather cheer on Viktor Krum or Cedric Diggory. "What wouldn't happen in there?"

"Finding the cup without a scratch."

Aurora nudges Elias side harshly. "What? Don't say I didn't warn you."

Upon meeting Fleur's mother after about fifteen minutes of all champions doing their mighty tasks inside the maze, Aurora hid it well with her smile and endearing charms that grew over Apolline. It does not well matter of what age or gender her daughter will love, it always mattered on what her daughter feels.

Now when Apolline requested to meet Aurora Black, Fleur was reluctant. Not in a way you would think, Fleur wants to show her lover off to everyone she knows back home. But it was because she feared it might've been to early and would pressure Aurora who has been through countless of devastating encounters with anyone who breathes.

Fleur was trying to be careful in a way a blossoming relationship girlfriends shouldn't be. She was thinking of her future carefully and Apolline points it out with her conversation with Aurora.
