Harry found himself standing, ready to start the third task with the other three champions, all of them were wearing the uniform that was provided for them, apparently it was to make sure that everyone was on the same playing field. Everyone pretty much wore the same thing, black shoes and trousers and then their own signature top with the logos of the schools they were representing. For Fleur, she was dressed in blue again while Krum was dressed in red. Cedric had once again managed to get a dark yellow mixed with black with his last name on the back, Harry on the other hand was able to get green and black with 'Potter' written in silver on his back.
The third task was set in the quidditch pitch which had been transformed into a giant maze, the sole objective for all four of the champions was to reach the centre of the maze and grab the trophy before anyone else could. Behind the champions was a table for the judges, all of the seats in the stadium were packed full and the two-way mirrors flew all around. Harry glanced over to where the Tonks family was sitting along with Sirius and Remus who had both showed up with them for the event, he gave them all a nod before turning and winking at Daphne who was sat with Angela and the other Slytherin's.
Harry had set Angela and Jet to look after Thor and Daphne since he figured if he person who put his name into the goblet was going to make their move then it would be in the final task.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Dumbledore's magically amplified voice boomed all around, silencing everyone as nobody wanted to miss anything. "it has been a long and gruelling road for our champions, each and every single one of them has had to face tasks that even grown wizards would struggle with, despite that they are still here! Their final task is a simple one, reach the centre of the maze and grab the Triwizard trophy. The first one to do so will be named Triwizard champion and winner of this year's tournament. Each champion will go in to the maze in an order that is dependent on their scores. After the champion with the most points enters the next champion must wait five minutes before entering and so on and so forth.
Allow me to introduce our champions, in fourth place is the fierce yet beautiful, Miss Delacour!" Dumbledore said, he paused to allow the Beauxbaton students to cheer for their champion. "In third place is Hogwarts's very own pride of Hufflepuff house, Cedric Diggory!" The majority of the Hogwarts students cheered for Cedric who waved back at them all.
"That's my son!" The proud voice of Amos Diggory, Cedric's father, was heard over the roaring crowds.
"In second place is Durmstrang's very own flying champion, Victor Krum!" Dumbledore continued, the Durmstrang students all cheered for Victor, Krum nodded his thanks to them. "And now, last but in no way least, we have the young man that is representing not a school but his own houses, house Potter-Black, please give a warm round of applause for Harry Potter!"
The stadium erupted with cheering and clapping, Harry looked around and allowed himself a small smile as he saw people clapping for him and cheering his name.
"Now champions," Professor Dumbledore spoke after a few minutes to let the cheering from the crowd die down. "if at any point, for any reason, you feel like you can no longer compete or require assistance then please send up some red sparks into the air and one of the professors will come and escort you out. Stay ready champions, the task will begin at the sound of the cannon." The cannon, as if speaking up when its name was called, fired a second later.
Harry shrugged before he rushed into the maze, once he was inside he slowed down to a calmer pace, the last thing he needed to do was run head first into a trap. Harry used a point me spell to guide himself to the centre, he walked forwards before he eventually turned left and walked several steps forwards before stopping when he heard a sound, all of a sudden a bunch of vines shot out and tried to grab at him. Harry quickly waved his wand and a shield blocked the vines from grabbing Harry, Harry realised he could destroy them or leave them for the other champions, the second one would be better for his chances at winning the tournament.
Harry moved forwards, keeping the shield up and only dropping it once he was out of the vines reach, he used the point me spell again and continued moving forwards. After a couple of minutes of walking Harry came across a boggart which had taken the place of Harry's Uncle Vernon who was holding a belt in his hands. Harry sighed before he aimed his wand at the boggart.
"Riddikulus." Harry said, the spell shot out of his wand and hit the boggart, turning it into Ludo Bagman. Both the boggart and the actual Bagman looked confused. "Because you're ridiculous." Harry said, speaking in the general direction of the two way mirror, though it was clear to everyone that he was speaking to Bagman whose face had turned quite red at this point, a fact that was not helped by the other students laughing. Harry paused when he heard Dumbledore announce that Krum had entered. Harry frowned and quickly continued moving.
Harry kept his wand ready for anymore surprises that could pop up, he kept his knees slightly bent and walked how Tonks had told him that Moody had told her to walk while aiming her weapon, which in her and Harry's case would be their wand.
