Chapter 77: Third task

Third point of view:

Every girl in the 3rd year Gryffindor dorm room was sleeping peacefully, one night before the third task. They went to bed early so they could be well rested for the next day. And then the nightmare started and three of the girls woke up. They haven't seen anything like that before, so they were baffled when Selene started screaming in her sleep. Hermione had a hunch regarding what Selene was dreaming of, and she did think they needed help.

"I'll go get proffesor McGonagall, she'll know what to do. You two take care of her."

She ran off to McGonagall's office, and her idea was good, as she found the teacher there, going again over the plan for the maze again.

"Umm, excuse me, professor?"

"Yes miss Granger, what is it?"

"We have a problem with Selene. Sure, she's had nightmares before, but she never started screaming. "

She stilled in her movements, lookind wide eyed at the girl, and then rushed to the door.

"We should probably take her to the hospital wing."

As soon as they entered the common room, they were greeted with the sight of the whole Gryffindor house crowded there, and soon found out why when a blood curdling scream echoed from the direction of the girls' dormitories.

"Everyone back to their beds. There is nothing interesting here."

When no one moved, she continued.

"Then I assume you don't want to attend the third task tomorrow?" At that, the room was quickly emptied and they went to see what was actually happening.

They were met with a terrifying sight there. Selene was convulsing in her bed, every now and then letting out an unholy scream that could freeze the blood in your veins. McGonagall's eyes widened and she walked up to the bed, where Lavander and Parvati were posteed on the sides.

"Has anything happened to her while Miss Granger was gone?"

"No, professor, but it doesn't seem to have stopped."

But after she said that, the convulsing and screaming stopped suddenly.

" Well, we have to take her to the hospital wing."

Hermione reached out to Selene and caressed the girl's cheek.

"It's going to be okay Sel." Everyone was quickly out of their rather calm state though, when she threw her hands forward and caught Hermione's neck with a firm grip, choking her. They unclenched her hands and she was promptly put under a body binding spell and levitated towards the hospital wing.

"Poppy, she's having nightmares again." McGonagall told Madame Pomfrey when she requested an explanation for them being there at such a late hour.

She was placed on a bed and a slimy looking potion was more or less forced down her throat.

"We have to let her sleep. Everyone out! You can see her tomorrow."

After they left, she performed a body scan on the girl, and found out that her heart was barely beating anymore, and her body still slightly trembling. She was definitely unconscious, not just sleeping. Just a simple nightmare couldn't have done this, but the nurse had no idea what could. Still, it was her job to save the girl, so she retorted to a muggle like method and shocked the girl, to help her heart. Now it was time to wait.

Next morning:

Merlin, my head was pounding. Wait, I could feel it? I wasn't - but- Death. I jumped to my feet and regretted it immediately as nausea took over my body. I sat down on the bed and drank some water from a glass that was on the bedside table. I was in the hospital wing apparently. Wonder what I did to make them bring me here. I was still a little dizzy, so I lay back on the bed.

"Oh, dear, you're awake." Poppy poured a forest green potion in a glass and handed it to me. "For the dizziness and nausea." After drinking, I turned and asked her.

"Why am I here?"

"Oh, dear, you had a pretty violent nightmare last night we suppose, as you started shaking and screaming. I've been told you almost choked Miss Granger as well.

Choke her? Was that when I tried to kill Death? Was that the warm skin I felt? Oh, dear what have I done?

"I have a question for you."

"Yes?"

"Have you had any pressure applied for a long time on your neck in the last 24 hours?" Well, that was a weird question.

"Why?"

"Because your neck is bruised Selene, and when you arrived here it wasn't."

"Oh, I don't really want to talk about it. I have to discuss with the headmaster and Minnie and Sev though."

"That is not possible at the moment dear, they are all at the maze, the task will start soon."

"What? I have to go then."

"Here." She gave me a long red leaf.

"What is this for?"

"Internal pain. There are dangerous things in the maze your brother is about to enter. If you want to watch the task you will have to act normal."

"Oh, thank you."

I didn't tell her, of course, that I had no intention of eating the leaf. If something was to happen to Harry, I would know it.

There were a lot of people at the maze when I got there. The kids and headmasters from the three schools, as well as some parents and of course, ministry officials.

The champions entered the maze in the order of their points, Harry and Cedric going first, then Viktor and lastly, Fleur.

For a while everything was good. I even managed to speak with Dumbledore and tell him that I'll go after Harry if anything happens. Apparently my brother met some creatures, as he seemed to have broken his leg and I didn't know what happened to his arm.

But then, the pain disappeared for a few moments, but the feeling I had in my stomach, the unmistakable sensation of being pulled by a hook, made me hurry to Dumbledore.

"Raise the non apparition spell, he was taken by a Portkey."
