Peering through the hedges, Barty saw the bulky silhouette of Krum.
An evil grin slided onto Crouch's face, and he crooned, "Imperio."
Krum slowly turned around, like a puppet guided by a marionette, and trudged back toward the start of the maze.
After a minute, he encountered a very distraught Fleur.
"Oh, Viktor! I didn't see you there!" she gasped.
Stun her, Crouch commanded, but to no avail.
Needing to act quickly, Barty took it upon himself, but not before a scream escaped her lips.
She had seen him. It didn't matter now, though.
Find Cedric. Attack him. Stop him from getting the cup.
And off set Krum and Crouch, this time much quicker.
"We're losing time! Hurry up, boy!" he hissed.
Finally, Cedric was within reach.
Cruciatus curse. Now, boy!
"Crucio," Krum said, as if he was bored.
Cedric screamed and writhed in pain.
Krum was about to cast the curse again, but Stunning spell hit him straight in the chest.
"Thank Merlin, Harry. What was that all about?" Cedric asked.
"I don't know, but we better get out of here," Harry responded, his wand still raised.
Together, they turned a corner, and split off at a fork in the path.
Author's Note: This is coming along nicely. And now the plot thickens! Thanks for staying with me and giving me support. I really appreciate it. I promise these next chapters won't be as boring as the first two. This story is my take on what should have happened in book four. No more ludicrous plan that had a major plot hole! You'll soon see what that is soon enough!
