A/N: Sorry for the wait, guys. Well this is already Chapter 6 of this story and the gang is still in Oblivion. One test down, one underway, and three more to come for our heroes. Will they save the Hogwarts staff and students? Or will they fail their tasks and perish to the mystery man? Read to find out!

"How in the heck are we gonna be able to beat those monsters?" Malfoy asked.
"What'd you call us?" the biggest and ugliest of the giants said. This giant, who was obviously the leader, was scary, he had only one eye, and his knuckles were each about the size of Malfoy's head. Malfoy, being the big 'strong guy' he claimed he was, backed up a little. "That's what I thought," the giant said.
He continued to speak, but this time to the other giants. "Oog, Lumpy, you'll be the Beaters. Ug, you're Keeper, and Grunt, Lusk, and Egral can be the Chasers." His eyes lit up. "And Rage can be the Seeker." (He was talking about himself, in the third person.)
The giants mounted their brooms (very large ones) and got in their positions. The Hogwarts students followed suite. Rage snapped his fingers, and a scoreboard appeared, saying Giants on one side and Twerps on the other. He said, "Let's begin." He snapped his fingers again and the Bludgers and Quaffle started to fly around the room. Ten minutes into the game, the Giants had 80 points and, amazingly, Parvati had managed to get the Quaffle past Ug, and had gained the 'Twerps' 10 points. Ron was guarding the three girls and Harry was guarding Malfoy. A couple of times, he had the urge to "miss" a Bludger and let it hit Malfoy in the head. But this was a game of life and death. Colin was not a good Keeper; the Giants had just scored again.
Then Harry saw the Golden Snitch, just below Egral's left foot. He nudged Malfoy and nodded towards the Snitch. If they got it, they would beat the Giants by 70 points. Make that 60, they had just scored again. Malfoy dove full speed at the Snitch, but Rage saw him. Rage was fast, but he was on the other side of the field/room. Malfoy only go there a split second before Rage, grabbing the Snitch. Final Score: Giants: 100, Twerps: 160.
"Ugh, Bloody Mary, you've won," Rage said, breaking his broom on his knee. Malfoy disappeared, and the door to the next room opened. The students, their number down to six, dropped their brooms on the floor and headed to the next room.
"This is like the tasks for the Sorcerer's Stone all over again," Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione. They nodded in reply. They all reached the doors and went in.
The doors shut, and they read the note posted on the wall. It said 'I guess I lied, this time, two people need to participate, and if they win, or lose, they will both be transported to me, so play wisely. This time, the two people will play in a battle of brains. There will be two separate tests, one for each of them. There are ten questions on each, and the two participants must have a combined score of 16. Only four questions can be missed all together. No cheating can be done, the other people will have a gag spell put on them so they can't speak. When the two are seated at the desks, the tests will appear.'
Hermione had the best grades out of all of them, so of course she sat in one of the desks. The rest of the kids compared grades. Harry, Colin, and Parvati all had B averages. Ron had low B's and Gale, the youngest of all of them, had mid-A's. So she sat in the other desk.
The others felt their mouths being gagged with an invisible gag, so they couldn't talk. The tests fell on the desks. Hermione was done in five minutes, Gale in twelve. The rest of them felt the gags disappear, and they gathered around the two girls. Their grades appeared on the papers. Hermione got 9/10 (Oh, man! she yelled) and Gale got 8/10, missing three points total. Hermione and Gale were gone and the next door opened. Now down to Harry, Ron, Parvati, and Colin, they were getting skeptical. The first three tests were easy, and they had two to go.
They went into the next room and there was a riddle on a paper. It said 'There are two ways to defeat me. Although I am very un-vain, I love blood. So kill me if you can, the most obvious way is to take away my blood.' A very large spider came in the room. They had to take away it's blood? Ron backed up. Seeing he was scared, the spider went after him. He ate Ron in one gulp. "Don't worry, he's not dead, he was just transported back to my master," the spider said.
Meanwhile, Harry was reading the riddle. "Colin! It says vain as in he likes himself, not as arteries! Take his picture and show it to him!" he yelled suddenly. Colin did so, since he had his Polaroid ® camera, in result, defeating the spider. Colin disappeared, now only Harry and Parvati remaining.
They went into the next room, where the most horrible task awaited for them.
A/N: I think this is getting better. Tell me what you think (by reviewing) and Chapter 7 will be up soon. Thx.
