64. The Third Task

**Hermione's POV**

When we got to the Quidditch Pitch, we found everyone there. We even saw Charlie, Bill who Fleur couldn't keep her eyes off of, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. People with signs to support their champion, music playing, and everyone cheering.

"Wow. This is amazing" Ginny said as we took a seat next to Seamus.

"I know. It's like a party" Seamus said smiling.

"Here comes the champions," Ron said.

We saw Cedric and his Dad come out first, then Fleur with Madam Maxime, Viktor with Karkaroff, and Harry with Dumbledore.

"Sonorus!" said Dumbledore with his wand at his throat. Everyone quieted down at once.

"Earlier today, Professor Moody placed the Triwizard Cup deep within the maze and only he knows its exact location. Now, as Mr. Diggory-" Dumbledore said before he was interrupted by Cedric's fans.

"And Mr. Potter-" Interrupted by us and others.

"Are tied for first position. They will be the first to enter the maze, followed by Mr. Krum-" Dumbledore was yet again interrupted by the Drumstrang students.

"And Miss Delacour" Cheered on by the Beauxbatons students.

"First person to touch the cup will be the winner!" And then everyone cheered.

"I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter. Should, at any point, a contestant wish to withdraw from the task. He or she need only send up red sparks with their wand. Contestant! Gather around. Quickly!"

The champions gathered around Dumbledore and he told him who knows what.

"Champions! Prepare yourselves!"

We all cheered and Harry and Cedric went to their positions. Cedric's Dad gave Cedric a hug and Cedric went to his place.

"On the count of three. One-" And the cannon fired Harry and Cedric set off. Harry looked back at us once more and the maze closed up.

"Good luck, Harry," I said.

"Go Harry!" Fred yelled putting his arm around me.

**Ron's POV**

Does Fred like Hermione?! I know he does that all the time, but does he!? I want to murder him every time I see him do that! Ugh!

"Why does he always do that?" I asked Ginny.

"You sound jealous, Ron," She said.

"Shut up," I said.

**George's POV**

"What did he say?" I asked Ginny.

"He asked why Fred always puts his arm around Hermione. Ron sounds so jealous" Ginny said smiling.

"Awww. Ron likes Mione" I said, smirking.

"And I keep forgetting to tell you that Fred knows that you know that he likes Hermione."

"Wow. That's brilliant. Should she know that you know that she likes Fred?" She asked with a grin.

"Of course she should. I can't wait until she freaks out."

"We'll tell her after the tournament."

A long later, Fred yelled this time "This is sooooo boring!"

He sat down with Hermione following him and she rested her head on his shoulder.

'It's getting dark. Maybe they're near the Cup" Hermione said.

"I hope so. It's been like days!" Fred whined.

**Fred's POV**

Harry and Cedric then appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes Harry!" I yelled.

"Way to go Harry!" George said.

We walked down towards him with everyone else.

Fleur then let out a scream at the sight of them.

"Harry?" Ginny asked worriedly.

"Oh no" 'Mione said.
