Chapter 21
(Alex's POV)
It's almost the start of the summer vacation and it is almost the time for the third and final task in the Triwizard Tournament for which the champions need to prepare. For weeks I've been searching for the diadem but still no luck. Duplicating and replacing many ancient artifacts that were lost through the years hidden by several of students in Hogwarts. At the last week of May the champions were summoned by Mr. Bagman to tell them about the third task.
It was half past eight that night when I saw Harry left the Gryffindor Tower. I approached him before he could even have gone to the entrance hall.
"Harry!" I called him. He turned around to see whose calling him and he smiled when he saw me but with a hint of confusion.
"Hey Alex." he said. "Is everything alright?"
I took a deep breath. "I just want to say be careful tonight."
"What?"
"Just take care of yourself Harry."
He nodded still confused of what I said.
"Well good night Harry." I said.
"Good night to you too Alex." he said.
"You're a fool Harry." I said as he passed by me. "For lending your map to him."
I could feel that he stop for a moment. Before he could even ask another question I walked back to my dorm.
I just wish I could prevent Mr. Crouch Sr. from being murdered by his own son but I can't. It will change too much of what will happen. I could do nothing except warn them and watch. I cried that night. I never felt so helpless in my life. I'm starting to get nervous the more I think about it. I thought about Sirius, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and many others as well. I don't know what to do except finish the mission I was assigned to.
