Chapter Twenty-Two: The Third Task
For the third task the champions were allowed to invite their family over to watch it, and I was excited to see Bill Charlie and Arthur, who had come to cheer me on. Molly came to support Harry, who hasn't spoke to me since that day in the great hall. I introduce Bill and Charlie to the other champions, Bill and Fleur really hit it off though, it was nice to see that. I smiled as mom helped me get ready for the task, going over defensive spells I might need to use. Luffy was surprisingly unaccounted for during this. Just before dinner I went to go look for him, finding him in a secluded hallway by the Gryffindor tower, shocked to see him trying to stop Ginny from kissing him. "What the hell Ginny?!" I asked, rushing over to shove her off of him. "Oh shut up you brat." She hissed. I growled. "Stay away from my boyfriend you skank!" I yelled. Ginny crossed her arms and smirked. "Oh please. The love potion I slipped him so kick in at any time now." She said confidently. I looked back at Luffy who rolled his eyes which made me laugh. "As if a love potion would work on Luffy. Not even my moms powers work on him, and she can make anyone fall in love with her." I said. Luffy nodded. "No matter what you do to me there's only one girl I'll ever love and that's Victoria." Luffy said, walking up and hugging me from behind. I looked back at him and smiled. "What? How?! It worked on Harry and Dean." Ginny whinnied. I ignored her and lead Luffy back to the great hall where mom was waiting with Arthur, Bill, Charlie, and the twins. "You ready Vic?" I heard Bill ask. I nodded and smiled. "I'm ready for whatever they've got."
We all headed down for the maze, standing in line in the order we were to go in, me first, then Cedric, then Victor, then Fleur, and finally Harry. I watched as Moody pulled Harry off to the side and whispered something in his ear, Harry turning pale and nodding. I shook my head and ignored this, readying myself for whatever came next.
The first part of the maze was pretty easy, I just followed the path that appeared to me and solved the riddles that they gave. Suddenly I heard what sounded like screaming. I ran to where it was coming from to see Victor torturing Fleur. I was shocked and immediately stunned him. Soon Cedric came into view. He sent up sparks with his wand and smiled at me. "Go win this Cedrella, for all of us." He said. I smiled and nodded, running towards the center of the maze. I got there just as Harry did and I frowned. "So you made it huh?" I asked. His face paled. "Victoria, just let me win, please." He said. I shook my head. "Why would I?"I asked. Harry didn't answer, just made a dash for the cup. I did the same and we grabbed it at the same time. The minute I touched it I felt the familiar tug of a portkey as we were flown away to some strange place.
