Hazel's P.O.V

Weeks had gone by since I saw Barty Crouch's deceased carcas on the forest floor. Cedric and I have been doing magnificently and I love him more and more each day. Today was the day of the final task and I was quite nervous. I didn't know what to expect.

I walked down to the stadium with Astoria, where a ginormous maze was. It was huge. It terrified me to think that the boys had to go into there. I found Cedric with a group of friends in the Great Hall. When he saw me he wrapped his arms around me and handed me his Hufflepuff scarf.

"Wear this for me will you?" he asked kissing the top of my head. I giggled and nodded, wrapping the scarf around my neck. He put his lips in my hair. "I'm nervous." he muffled into my hair.

"As am I. You'll do great Cedric. Look how far you've gotten."

He pulled me tighter against him. Together we walked to the stadium where loads of people were already there. Before we had to part, I turned and grabbed his shirt, bringing his lips to mine. We stood there kissing for a while before we pulled apart foreheads resting on each other.

"You'll do great. Don't worry." I whispered giving him a peck on the lips. He smiled.

"I love you, Hazel. You know that right?"

"I love you too Cedric. Forever and Always."

We pulled apart and I went to sit in the stands with Hermione and Ron. I looked over at the Beuxbaton girls doing some dance that included arm motions with the arms

Suddenly Mr. Diggory ran out and pointed his arm towards his son. Cedric walked out smiling but you could see the nervousness in his eyes.

Fleur and Krum followed out after him and Harry came out last with a slight push from Dumbledore. Dumbledore walked out to the tiny podium set up in the middle of the tiny arena

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore's voice boomed. The chatter died away slowly and the band stopped rather abruptly.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the Triwizard Cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory-" The crowd began to cheer on hearing his name. Mr. Diggory held Cedric's arm up.

I giggled a little when Cedric managed to get his arm down.

"and Mr Potter" More cheers erupted from the crowd. "tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum-" The Bulgarian crowd went nuts. "Ms. Delacour. The first person to touch the cup will be the winner." The entire crowd went crazy.

"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 walked off the podium as the champions created a little huddle, where they had a mini discussion and broke apart.

"Champions! Prepare yourselves!" Each champion went to an entrance. Cedric hugged his father. 

"On the count of three... ONE!"

The cannon went off. Filch just shrugged. Cedric looked at me.

"You'll do fine, I love you." I mouthed.
