CHAPTER FOURTEEN: HEADING TO THE THIRD TASK.
Harry walked down towards the maze with the other three champions with their heads of houses following closely behind. Professor Moody hobbled past them with Hagrid and Professor Sprout at his heals, Harry eyed the man warily with a hidden smirk on his face. Harrys mind drifted back to two months previously
FLASHBACK
Harry was walking towards the Room of Requirement on the seventh floor with Luna, Cedric and Susan when they heard a clunking from a corridor on their right.
"Potter, Diggory" Professor Moody called out as he entered the main corridor. Harry and his friends stopped and turned towards the professor approaching them.
"Yes Professor Moody" Harry awncered as Moody reached them
"How are you dealing with the third task boy?" He asked somewhat angrily "CONSTANT VIGULENCE and all that"
"I am dealing with it perfectly professor" Harry awncered
"As am I" Cedric added with a grin "We're playing to our stregnths"
Both Harry and Luna noted the change of eye colour in Moodys good eye as he nodded before he took a swig from his hip flask.
"Good lads" Moody said before turning away "See you all in class"
They shared a look before Luna watched with narrowed eyes as the Professor hobbled away.
"Come on guys we're holding up training with Victor and Fleur" Harry said before turning back towards the Room of Requirement.
FLASHBACK ENDED
Harry drifted to another thought about Luna and Moody which happened over the Easter break he had been privy to.
FLASHBACK
Harry followed Luna through the Hogwarts corridors under his cloak and a disillusionment charm they were trying until the two of them heard moody approaching from the same corridor as last time. Harry dove behind the nearest coat of arms just to be certain.
"Hello Professor Moody" Luna said somewhat louder than normal
"Miss Lovegood" Moody grunted trying to pass her without causing too much trouble
"Professor I have a question" Luna began sounding her usual airy fairy self "how do you get away from a person who is Impurioused?"
Moody looked surprised at the question and slowed enough to actually think about it
"The best two ways is to fight your way out or leave as fast as possible" Moody grunted as Harry fired a tracking spell attached to a piece of parchment Luna charmed to note all of his movements. After a few moments of Luna taking note of all that Moody said Luna smiled airily again
"Thank you Professor I have everything I need" she announced before turning and walking down the corridor with unusual intent. Harry watched Moody for a few moments before the professor clunked down the corridor out of sight. Harry chuckled and ran down the corridor after Luna.
FLASHBACK ENDED
Harry tried not to chuckle as he was pulled back to the present as they reached the entrance circle to the maze. All three schools and the guests from three major newspapers: one from each country and the appropriate people from the three Ministries had yet to fully arrive in the stands, So Harry dropped into a meditation pose surprising Minerva, Karkeroff and Madame Maxine as Cedric, Victor and Fleur joined him. As he began to relax Harrys mind drifted back to Elphabas doctor's appointment the weekend just gone. Sirius was in shocked surprise for several hours.
FLASHBACK
"Well hello Miss Hardbroom-Black" the doctor said as she entered the room "Mr. Black and Mr. Potter how are we all today"
"Good…..nervous" Elphaba replied as Harry and Sirius gave similar replies. Both Sirius and Elphaba had agreed to go to the mundane world for Elphabas medical care plus they had to pretend they were siblings…..even if it was for an hour or two.
"Nervous is only natural dear, so lets' have a look at the baby shall we" she said with a smile pulling out the Doppler turning on the machine and putting gel on Elphabas stomach.
It took a few short minuites before the babies heart beat echoed around the room and they saw the babies image on the screen.
"Wait can I hear….?" Harry began in surprise with a tilt to his head
"Congratulations Miss Hardbroom-Black" the Doctor announced shifting the screen to reveal the image of three little babies. "You're carrying triplets"
Harry saw Elphaba melt slightly and shared a warm smile with her as she turned to Sirius.
"You hear that Sirius three babies" she said as Sirius stared at the screen a look of shock, surprise and a bit of longing on his face.
"I'll give the three of you a moment" the doctor said leaving the room and the image of the three babies on the screen.
FLASHBACK ENDED
Harry was brought back again as Minerva tapped him gently on the shoulder
"We are ready for you Harry" she muttered in his ear before doing the same with Cedric the two of them got to their feet with Harry offering a hand to Fleur beside him whilst Cedric and Victor looked over the crowd. Harry saw His friends and family sitting with Amelia and several Aurors keeping a very close eye on the fake Moody.
"One Last group prayer?" Fleur asked with a smile and tilt of her head as the four joined hands and lowered their heads "To the god of Badassery above, we ask for guidance and the ability to look good as we do battle this day, we plead for protection, wisdom and a really, really sugar filled ice-cream Sunday when it's all over, in your name we pray, So Boom shacka lacka"
The four finished their kooky group prayer as Ludo Bagman began announcing for the crowd.
"Welcome to the third and final task of this triwizard tournement" the crowd cheered "In joint second place are Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts in joint first place are Victor Krum of Durmstrang and Harry Potter of Hogwarts" all three schools cheered loudly for the four champions. Ever since Christmas when they were not training and Harry wasn't preparing to Leave Hogwarts with his friends they were the epitomite of showing inter country unity despite all the crap that had been caused due to the stupidity of many people.
"Mr. Krum, Mr. Potter" Minerva began sharing a knowing look with each and every champion as Ludo Bagman finished his spiel "You two will enter at the first whistle Miss Delacour and Mr. Diggory you will enter at the second whistle deep breaths and good luck"
Harry and Victor shared a look before nodding towards their fellow champions before positioning themselves in front of the entrance. A small shift across his mind had Harry look towards the young women he called his Wife and Sisters; Susan, Luna, Hermione, Elphaba and Daphne. Neville sat beside them back straight looking determined. Harry shared a knowing look with them all and as the whistle blew entered the maze side by side with Victor.
