Surprisingly,thanks to Pansy,I managed to get in time for the 2nd task.Maybe just a bit too early,for there,around the Black Lake,there was only the two of us,Cedric,and the judges.
     Being a freezing February morning and having to swim so early?Horror.
Although...I guess I'm a bit disappointed cause Draco nor Hermione are here to encourage me.
     Perhaps they were too busy with their studies?Couldn't blame them,really...
At least Pansy is here to encourage me and help me forget about the bad thoughts that keep passing through my mind.    
     It's okay...I can do it...now though...I have to think what is it that could have been taken from me,so I knowwhat to look for?!

Soon enough everyone arrived-even a late Harry-andwe could start our task.

Ludo:Well, all our champions are ready for the second task, which will start on my whistle. They have precisely an hour to recover what has been taken from them. On the count of three, then. One...two...three!

Andwith this signal,we jumped in the ice coldwater andwent our differentways.
Viktor transformed his head into a shark head,Fleur and Cedric used Bubble head,Harry seems to be really spazzic so I don't really know...
And me?
I just transformed myself into a mermaid,just like in my childhood dreams,after Iwatched the Little Mermaid.Just,better colours~

After a lot of swimming and trying not to get creeped out by the bottom of the lake and its spooky environment,I started hearing angelic voices,singing the exact lyrics I heard from the egg,which obviouslywere guiding me to the treasure I must seek.

Having arrived to a clear sight,Iwas shocked to see the reasonwhy Draco,Hermione and Ronweren't there before the task,was because they were being trapped here,unconscious and waiting to be rescued,tied by roped on a huge rock.
Not nice,Dumbledore...
Harry was there too,trying to rescue Ron,when all of a sudden,Cedric passed by us,showing us that timewas passing,and thatwe must hurry.
Knowing that Hermionewas to be rescued by Viktor,I take out mywand,untie the rope around Draco's legs,and use a spell to get me to the surface faster.

As soon as we hit the surface and breathe fresh air,I transform myself back,and check if he's okay and apologise.He started chuckling faintly and clinged on me,as I took him to a safe place,as Pansy,Emma and Jessie put warm towels on us(still shivering though...)

And in the end,allwaswell,Cedricwas declared 1st place,Harry 2nd and I 3rd,andwe could continuewith our daily routine,knowing that all 3 of us are tied for the 1st place in the next task,on June 24th.

Joy.

Soon enough though,Hermione came to be and told me in private and told mewhat they have discussedwith Sirius about Snape and Karkaroff,about Barty Crouch's son,about Death Eaters andwhat not.Itwasn't a surprise really,but the fact that I didn't get to see him or talk to him is quite irritating.Y'know...because I'm his daughter,not them.And yet,I haven't had the ocassion to talk to him this year.Grr...

Also...poor Hermione,after Rita's article with her Love Triangle consisting of Harry-Hermione-Viktor,many fangirls have been sending her death threats and dangerous stuff...and her hands got burned by some acid substance from an envelope.
Guess someonewon't receive mail for awhile....

Also,Snape told me about thewhole Barty Crouch problem,since he disappeared and stunned Krum and all...It's quite peculiar,but since he mentioned Bertha and his son..maybe...Bertha is dead and his son might just not be dead,as they say?
He told me about Karkaroff's and Barty Crouch Jr.'s trials,whichwas quite interesting and sad.
I have been told Snapewas a Death Eater once,turned double agent,and I have no reason to mistrust him.After all,he had helped me train quite a lot too.Especially in Occlumency and Legilimency.

I also told him about my latest vision I had last night,about Voldemort,who got a letter.He said something like, Wormtail's blunder had been repaired,then that someone was dead.Then he said, Wormtail wouldn't be fed to the snake - there was a snake beside his chair. He said ...he'd be feeding me to it, instead. Then he did the Cruciatus Curse on Wormtail - and my scar hurt..It woke me up, it hurt so badly. 
Snape just nodded and kept on pondering our next move.

~~~~~~

Just like a thought,June came,and the 3rd taskwas tonight.
The 5 champions have been brought to a nice and cozy room,where the familieswere to encourage them and what not.
Obviously,Sirius couldn't be there,for neither me nor Harry.But Ron's mum and elder brother were there to support him.As for me?Narcissa,bless her soul,with a shy yet motherly grin on her face,waiting for an embrace.
Itwas quite touching,might I say,and it really helped me boost my moral and keep a positive thinking,despite the bad things that have been happening.I swear,I owe her so much..

Ludo:Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes' time, I will be asking you to make your way down to the Quidditch field for the third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament. Will the champions please follow Mr. Bagman down to the stadium now...

 Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick came walking into the stadium and approached Bagman and the champions. They were wearing large, red, luminous stars on their hats, all except Hagrid, who had his on the back of his moleskin vest.

McGonagall:We are going to be patrolling the outside of the maze.If you get into difficulty, and wish to be rescued, send red sparks into the air, and one of us will come and get you, do you understand?

The champions nodded.

Ludo:Off you go, then!

"Good luck. Harry,Raven," Hagrid whispered, and the four of them walked away in different directions, to station themselves around the maze. Bagman now pointed his wand at his throat, muttered, "Sonorus," and his magically magnified voice echoed into the stands.

Ludo: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 in first place, with eighty-five points each - Mr. Cedric Diggory and Mr. Harry Potter,Mrs.Raven Black  of Hogwarts School!" The cheers and applause sent birds from the Forbidden Forest fluttering into the darkening sky. "In second place, with eighty points - Mr. Viktor Krum, of Durmstrang Institute!And in third place - Miss Fleur Delacour, of Beauxbatons Academy!...So...on my whistle, Harry and Cedric!Three - two - one -!!  

As the whistle blew,the 3 of uswent in the Maze,andwent our separateways.
I lit up mywand and startedwalking at a rapid pace,so Iwouldn'twaste time.
I used mywand as a compass,got easily rid of a boggart and one of Hagrid'd explosive beasts.
Screams of both Fleur and Cedric could be heard close fromwhere Iwas,but I didn'twant to concern myselfwith them.I have my own task towin...If my visionwon't come true.
And,to my luck,I met a sphinx who told me Iwas near the cup.

Sphinx:You are very near your goal. The quickest way is past me.
me:Perfect.I shall be answering your riddle then.
Sphinx:Great.Answer on your first guess - I let you pass. Answer wrongly - I attack. Remain silent - I will let you walk away from me unscathed.
me:Seems fair.Can I hear the riddle?

The sphinx sat down upon her hind legs, in the very middle of the path, and recited:

"First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"


me:Nice one...Let's see...All the clues add up to a creature I wouldn't want to kiss...A person in disguise, A  spy,obviously.The last thing to mend,Er...no idea...'middle of middle'... the last bit again?"The sound often heard during the search for a hard-to-find word...Er's a sound!"Spy...er...Spider!A creature I wouldn't want to kiss...a spider!Gosh,definitely,they're gross.

The sphinx smiled more broadly. She got up, stretched her front legs, and then moved aside for him to pass.

me:Thank you!

I started running in the directiong my wandwas pointing,and as soon as I spotted the gleaming of the Cup,Harry and Cedricwere there too.
After a lot of arguing and a potential hedge swallowing us,we agreed to take it together.
Allwould have beenwell...if the Cup didn't prove to be a Portkey!

 "Where are we?" Harry said.

Cedric shook his head. He got up, pulled Harry to his feet, and they looked around.

These weren't the Hogwarts grounds completely;even the mountains surrounding the castle were gone. These is a dark and overgrown graveyard; the black outline of a small church was visible beyond a large yew tree. A hill rose above them to their left.

me:Umm...we're gonna die.

Cedric:Did anyone tell you the cup was a Portkey?
Harry:Nope...Is this supposed to be part of the task?
Cedric:I dunno.Wands out, d'you reckon?
me:This is bad..so bad...You've no idea...
Harry:Shh..Someone's coming.

Whoever it was, he was short, and wearing a hooded cloak pulled up over his head to obscure his face. The thing in the persons arms looked like a baby...No fuckingway.
Harry lowered his wand slightly and glanced sideways at Cedric. Cedric shot him a quizzical look. They both turned back to watch the approaching figure.
It stopped beside a towering marble headstone, only six feet from us. For a second,us and the short figure simply looked at one another.

All of a sudden,both my and Harry's scars started hurting so much,thatwe fell on the ground,clutching the said scar,and we heard a high, cold voice say, "Kill the spare." and the familiar sound of a second voice,screeched the words to the night: "Avada Kedavra!"

As soon as the green spell hit Cedric,hewas on the ground,dead.And,without remorse,the casting person revealed himself to be none other than wormtail.He slammed Harry on Tom Riddle's grave stone,and me on a nearby tree,making sure Iwon't interfer.Hewouldn't dare kill me,would he?
The short man in the cloak had put down his bundle, lit his wand, and was dragging Harry toward the marble headstone. Harry saw the name upon it flickering in the wandlight before he was forced around and slammed against it.

The liquid in the cauldron seemed to heat very fast. The surface began not only to bubble, but to send out fiery sparks, as though it were on fire. Steam was thickening, blurring the outline of Wormtail tending the fire. The movements beneath the robes became more agitated.

"Hurry!"

The whole surface of the water was alight with sparks now. It might have been encrusted with diamonds.

"It is ready. Master."

"Now..." said the cold voice.

Wormtail pulled open the robes on the ground, revealing what was inside them.

It was as though Wormtail had flipped over a stone and revealed something ugly, slimy, and blind - but worse, a hundred times worse. The thing Wormtail had been carrying had the shape of a crouched human child Its arms and legs were thin and feeble, and its face - no child alive ever had a face like that - flat and snakelike, with gleaming red eyes.Itwas Voldemort.

The thing seemed almost helpless; it raised its thin arms, put them around Wormtail's neck, and Wormtail lifted it.And then Wormtail lowered the creature into the cauldron; there was a hiss, and it vanished below the surface.

The scar burning almost past endurance, please...let it drown....

Wormtail was speaking. His voice shook; he seemed frightened beyond his wits. He raised his wand, closed his eyes, and spoke to the night.

"Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son!"

A fine trickle of dust rose into the air at Wormtail's command and fell softly into the cauldron. The diamond surface of the water broke and hissed; it sent sparks in all directions and turned a vivid, poisonous-looking blue. Wormtail was whimpering. He pulled a long, thin, shining silver dagger from inside his cloak. His voice broke into petrified sobs.

"Flesh - of the servant - w-willingly given - you will - revive - your master."

He stretched his right hand out in front of him - the hand with the missing finger. He gripped the dagger very tightly in his left hand and swung it upward.And he cut his hand off...

Wormtail was gasping and moaning with agony. 

"B-blood of the enemy...forcibly taken...you will...resurrect your foe."

He cut Harry's arm an let the blood from the knife drip in the couldron.

The liquid within turned, instantly, a blinding white. Wormtail, his job done, dropped to his knees beside the cauldron, then slumped sideways and lay on the ground, cradling the bleeding stump of his arm, gasping and sobbing.

The cauldron was simmering, sending its diamond sparks in all directions, so blindingly bright that it turned all else to velvety blackness. Nothing happened....
Suddenly, the sparks emanating from the cauldron were extinguished. A surge of white steam billowed thickly from the cauldron instead, obliterating everything in front of us.

Lord Voldemort had risen again.
