Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry kept running, trying to get as far away as possible from whatever was causing all this commotion.
'Damn, what's going on over there?!' he exclaimed in his mind, completely panicked, afraid to even look back.
He was so focused on escaping from possible danger that he wasn't paying attention to what was in front of him or where he was going.
And because of his inattentive and panicked state, and also because of all the noise caused by the abnormal commotion, Harry did not hear the sound of hurried footsteps that seemed to be coming from a little further ahead, quickly approaching him.
'I think I'm far enough along' he thought.
And without stopping running Harry finally gained some courage to look back.
However, it was at this exact moment of distraction that a person dressed in dark blue clothes turned the curve he was planning to enter, and he didn't notice this person until it was too late.
*Thump*
"Ow!" Harry fell to the ground on his butt after hitting something solid, rubbing his sore forehead.
"Urgh!" and then he heard the sound of someone else falling to the ground in front of him, soon followed by a groan of pain.
And realizing that he was no longer alone, Harry immediately became alarmed, putting his pain aside and quickly grabbing his wand.
And just as he prepared to point his wand at the unknown person he realized that person was already pointing their wand at him.
"Uh..." he blinked, looking at the wand pointed at his face and realizing that he had been too slow.
However, this one second pause of his allowed him and the other person to finally pay attention to the mysterious 'enemy', and when they saw who it was in front of them, the two of them couldn't help but be surprised.
"Fleur?!"
"Harry?!"
And Harry, realizing that the one on the other end of the wand pointed at him was Fleur, his French friend, couldn't help but sigh in relief.
'Wait, why am I relieved? She's still my enemy in this competition!' he reminded himself, eyeing the Veela warily as he tightened his grip on his wand.
And it seemed that he wasn't the only one who had remembered that they were in an important competition, because Fleur, who was almost lowering her wand, pointed it at Harry again, narrowing her blue eyes at him.
...
...
...
...
Harry and Fleur continued to stare at each other for several seconds in tense silence, completely focused and attentive to each other.
However, this silence and 'calm' did not last much longer, as the two champions and opponents decided to act.
"{Stupefy}!" Fleur cast a spell on Harry, who immediately rolled to the side, dodging her spell before getting to his feet.
"{Expelliarmus}!" and then the golden boy responded to her attack with his own spell.
And Fleur, who was also already standing, easily dodged his spell by stepping to the side.
And now that the two were standing they got into a fighting stance, before they began attacking each other with various spells, engaging in fierce combat.
"{Petrificus Totalus}, {Flipendo}" Harry attacked, using basic but effective spells.
Fleur then created a wall of ice to stop these spells, before conjuring a swarm of bees, controlling them to attack Harry.
And after this attack she continued her offensive with another spell, creating dozens of small balls of water and throwing them at him.
Seeing the hundreds of bees heading towards him, Harry casted a strong {Incendio} at them, and after getting rid of the bees he began to dodge the water balls, destroying those that got too close to him.
And after dealing with this attack, Harry raised his wand, preparing to counterattack.
"{Expelliar--}" but as soon as he began to say the incantation of the spell he saw several vines controlled by Fleur preparing to attack him.
"Fuck," he cursed unconsciously, before jumping back to dodge one of the vines.
While Harry tried not to become part of a poorly made and light tentacle hentai act, Fleur continued to cast spell after spell at him.
And under the French girl's fierce attack, Harry found himself cornered, finding it difficult to defend himself or even react to her spells.
He then began to realize that he was being pressured by Fleur more and more by the minute, feeling that he might end up losing the fight if things continued like this.
'Damn, is our skill difference really that big?' he wondered, sweating nervously as he dodged an incarceration spell.
And Harry, knowing he had to do something before his situation got worse, tried to gain some distance from Fleur to catch his breath and try to think of a new plan.
However, before he could even begin to think of a plan, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him, scaring him and leaving him alarmed.
And when he and Fleur realized that there was a new presence in this area of the maze, they momentarily stopped their fight.
"Who—" Harry began, turning to look back cautiously.
And it was precisely at that moment that the mysterious presence decided to act.
"{Expulso}!" this new presence said in a cold and grave tone of voice, immediately casting an offensive spell.
And Fleur and Harry who had stopped struggling because of the sudden intrusion blinked in surprise at the attack, before quickly snapping out of their dazed states.
Harry, who was the closest to the new enemy, quickly cast the {Protego} spell to protect himself, creating a small, weak shield that was the best he could do with his current capabilities.
However, this proved unnecessary, as after creating a shield he saw the spell pass harmlessly through him, showing that he was not the target of the mysterious enemy.
And looking at the direction the spell was heading, Harry realized that it was actually aimed at Fleur.
And Fleur, seeing the spell heading towards her, didn't show any concern, as she also already had a shield ready.
*Bam!*
The spell hit Fleur's shield, which easily contained the attack, but even after doing so she did not cancel it, afraid that she could be attacked the moment she did so.
And now that the mysterious enemy's first attack had failed, Fleur and Harry were able to take a good look at him, quickly recognizing his serious, frowning look.
''Krum?'' the two thought, blinking a little in surprise.
However, after thinking for a while, they realized that it wasn't that surprising that the mysterious attacker was Krum, since he was one of the only people in the maze besides them and Ethan.
'Our fight must have attracted him... Or maybe he was watching us from the beginning waiting for the right moment to attack' Fleur theorized, looking at him cautiously.
And while Fleur was looking closely at Krum, Harry was also looking at him.
'Now that Krum is here my situation has gotten even worse' Harry thought, tightening his grip on his wand.
He then narrowed his eyes, 'If I have to fight both of them at once I won't have the slightest chance of winning, since they are more experienced and know more spells than me'
'In that case then I think it would be better if I focused on attacking Krum to try to get him out of the fight as soon as possible, and after that I'll only have to worry about Fleur'
Harry chose Krum as his primary target not because he thought the Quidditch star was weak, but because he knew how strong Fleur was, especially after Ethan's training.
And between Krum and Fleur, Harry knew that the one who represented a greater obstacle for him if a fight between the three of them happened was Krum, as the Durmstrang champion seemed to hold a grudge against him, and would certainly focus on him in the fight.
And it was with these thoughts that Harry came to the conclusion that taking Krum out of the fight as quickly as possible would be more advantageous for him.
So, with a decision made and a plan half-formed, Harry prepared to begin his move.
And just as Harry was preparing to attack Krum the scowling boy who had previously been standing silently moved, alarming him.
'Damn it!' Harry raised his wand, thinking that Krum was going to attack him now.
But after a few seconds of nothing happening, Harry made a confused face, before looking back at Krum and realizing that the Bulgarian boy's focus wasn't even on him, and that in fact he was completely focused on Fleur.
"Huh?" Harry looked at Krum strangely, still not letting his guard down.
And Krum, still not paying attention to Harry, continued walking, passing the cautious green-eyed boy as he headed towards Fleur, glaring at her fiercely.
'What?' and Fleur, who saw Krum ignoring Harry and looking only at her blinked in confusion, 'Wait, is his target just me?'
And even Harry watching this scene had several question marks floating above his head.
'What the fuck is going on?!' he asked himself, looking at Krum's face and seeing his glazed, emotionless gaze.
End.
