"This last task will be the most dangerous. Don't trust anyone." Sirius warned.

"Harry, do be careful?" Petunia said as she had him in a tight hug.

Our whole family and the Weasley's were gathered around Harry. It was a funny sight compared to the other champions. Fleur had her mother, father, and sister. Viktor had both of his parents, and Cedric had his dad. Then there was us with twelve people, not including me and Draco. Even Charlie had decided to come. We were missing Percy but honestly he's been a prat lately and only talks about his new job.

I stood off to the side with Draco while everyone wished Harry luck. He had stopped teasing him on purpose, and had stopped retaliating when Harry said something rude. They weren't friends, but they were civil with the exception of a few arguments.

"Draco, I presume?" My dad said as he held out his hand.

"Yes, sir."

"You look so much like your mother. Do give her my regards when you see her?"

"Thank you. I will, she'll be pleased."

"Right, well. It'd be best if we made our way to our seats. It's almost time."

"Harry! Wait!" I broke away from Draco's hand and went over to Harry.

I gave him a tight hug and whispered in his ear. "Watch out for yourself. I know you like to help others, but you really can't. Not today."

"Right, I'll uh. I'll try my best, yeah?" He gave me a weak smile and we went on our way.

We made our way to the stands and waited for them to finally come out.

Cedric walked out with Amos, his father. Fleur walked out with Madam Maxime and her little sister. Krum walked out with Karkaroff, and Harry walked out with Dumbledore and Sirius.

Me and Draco sat a few seats down from our family and the Weasley's, to sit with our friends. Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy were cheering for Krum. Me, Dani, and Draco were cheering for Harry, though he'd never admit that. He mostly sat there silently.

"Silence!" Dumbledore called as the music stopped.

"Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizard's cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr. Diggory and Mr. Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze."

People were cheering loudly, especially me and the Weasley's.

"Followed by Mr Krum.. and then Miss Delacour."

Most everyone cheered for Krum, it was Viktor Krum after all.

"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 spoke to all of them in a little group privately before Professor Moody called for the start of the task.

Filch set the cannon off before Dumbledore even counted to two.

"Did the maze just close up behind him?" I asked panicked.

"I'm sure that's normal." Draco said as he grabbed my hand and laced his fingers through mine.
