"This is it," David said as they approached the beginning of the maze. Harry looked at the giant maze with tall stone walls and mettle bars on the top. "You will have two hours to get to the middle. I'll meet you there. For those who fall behind leave them. Good luck."
Harry walked into the maze with the others following him. It was a long dark tunnel with small white lights on the wall. Harry noticed different exits that they could take form the long tunnel but he didn't turn. The two men from sun army walked into one of the exits with the others leaving Harry, Luna, Sara, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Ty and Kate. They all shrugged and turned down a tunnel that had gold lighting. Harry heard a crack behind them and turned with his wand drawn.
"Something wrong," Ron asked as he looked back. Ron turned pale as the object approached.
"Ron you might want to back up a little bit," Harry said calmly as a long Harry leg reached forward followed by seven more. "Now would be a good time."
The giant spider raised itself to its full height and opened his fags. Harry shot a reducto curse at it. The spider dogged it and charged forward towards the group.
"Down," Harry said as the spider tried to jump on one of them. It just happened to be Ron. "RON. Stay calm."
The spider went to bite Ron but he rolled to his side just in time. He raised his wand and shot a leg locker curse in the spiders eyes. the spider shivered for a moment and fell over still twitching. Harry shot a reducto curse at it's head. The spider's legs rolled inward and the spider died.
"Ron you ok," Hermione said as she rushed over. He nodded and kicked to corpse of the spider. It moved and he jumped back causing the others to laugh.
"Not funny," Ron said. "I almost died."
"He's right," Ty said. "This maze will take a life so we must bring are A game."
"Well lets press on," Hermione said as she continued to walk down the hallway. After what seemed like hours of walking they came to an opening. They were at the top of a hill. The maze continued all the way down into the valley where there was a huge golden light. Harry noticed that the others where already in the maze of high hedges from the sounds.
"We have to hurry," Harry said as he looked down at the maze. He saw a perfect path that looked promising and took it. They ran down the hill into the hedge maze. After a good fifteen minutes of running the girls made them stop.
"We have to stop all of this running," Ginny said as she heaved for air. "Its not good for you."
"We can walk the rest of the way," Harry said as the continued to walk. The turned left and saw the giant center of the maze. Harry went to step forward but as soon as he put his foot down the ground began to shake and the hedges became alive. Sprouting animals form the leaves that leapt towards Harry and the others. Harry shot one of the animal thingy with a fire curse which caused it to fall to the ground as ash.
"Use fire curses on these guys," Harry said as one jumped into his abdomen causing him to lose his breath. Harry looked up and saw not the small animals but a huge bear like creature charging towards them. Fangs bared as he roared and stood up in front of Harry. The bear swiped at Harry causing him to fall back wards. He shot a stunning spell but it did nothing.
Ty, Sara, and Kate all tried different curses that were to no avail. Ron and Hermione where too busy providing cover for Ginny who was setting fire to the small animals. Harry looked up at the great creature as he raised his right paw. Harry's mind was telling him to run or something but his body wasn't working. There was a bright flash as the bear's claw came plummeting towards his head. Harry closed his eyes and opened them to see the bear stumble back and roar. His right paw was gone and purple blood was springing from the open wound.
"That should help you guys out a bit," A voice said from behind. Harry turned to see Neville with his wand in the up right posture. "You guys better hurry I just saw the other group, there not that far away."
"Right," Harry said as he looked back at the bear that was limping around the path. Harry shot it from behind with a powerful stunning curse the bear groaned as it fell to the ground.
"Lets go," Ty screamed back as the hedges started to close from behind them. Harry took off towards the center. The hedges opened up and Harry saw the group come out the other side. They looked at each other and then to the center where there was a huge golden sword on a mantle. Harry and the other man started to run towards it. the man started to shoot stunning curses at Harry as they both approached the middle.
Harry dogged them and felt something fly by his head. The other man stopped dead in his tracks and fell to the ground. Harry reached forward and grabbed the sword. He raised it in the air to his small group who all cheered. There was a small pop and David was behind him smiling broadly.
"Well done," he said. "Now that your group was first, you guys are the winners. You guys are the Shadow Foxes."
"What was Neville doing in the maze," Hermione asked as David. He turned to her and smiled.
"He is your guys Guardian," David said as he made a portkey out of the sword. They all touched it and arrived back at the Dinning room. all of the knights where there waiting. David nodded to them all sat back down.
"What do you mean guardian?" Sara asked.
"On missions," David said. "Even spy's have guardians. Now Neville should be here anytime soon so lets start the briefing now and you guys can fill him in. We have a huge army heading towards us as you are all ready aware. We need to find out the what were up against. You guys will leave here on hippogriffs and drop in over blue lake. Once there you guys will sneak in and document what you see. Such as taking back weapons, heads of the enemy, ect. After that you will go north with your guardian. Once you've reached crystal peak you will be meet by your hippogriffs and you will come back. Easy as pie."
"So what do you mean by drop in," Ron asked. Ty and Kate both laughed at this question.
"You'll find out," David said with a small grin. "Now you guys will go and pick up your equipment from Ken. Once your done it should be dark enough."
Neville walked into the room with messed up hair and a small cut on his check. Harry and the others filled him in and they all walked out towards the cellar. At the bottom of the stairs was an iron door with about twenty locks.
"YO," Ty yelled as he banged on the iron door. "IT'S US KEN."
"How do I know," A voice inside yelled back.
"You still sleep with a teddy bear at night," Ty said. The door swung opened and there stood a man in a white coat. He had greasy hair that was pushed over a large bald spot in the middle of his head. His glasses were pushed a down the bridge of his nose and he stared at Ty.
"IT'S a hippo and his name is pinky," Ken said as he turned and walked inside. "Now you guys need your box of goodies I suppose."
"Yes," Ty said as Ken walked towards a huge locker. He opened it with his wand and out popped a huge table with seven black bags and one blue one.
"You have the usual," Ken said as he took one bag and pulled out what looked like small plate. "Universal flyer, Sensors, Garlic spray, a portkey, new wand tips for different people you know, some potions, and last but not least my new night vision glasses." Ken said as he held up a pair of dark black sunglasses. He put everything in the bag and slid it over to Ty.
"In the blue bag you'll find the same with some nicer wand tips and some bomb potions that might help," Ken said. "Now Kate when are you going to ditch that guy and come…help me with my experiments." Ken said with a grin and slid his hair over with one hand. Kate rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag and left.
"Come on," Ty said as they followed her out each carrying a bag.
"We have about fifteen minutes before we leave so lets just get everything ready," Sara said as she sat down on one of the steps of the stairs.
"Right," Harry said as he reached down into his bag and started to gear up.
"My glasses are blue too," Neville said as he looked at the blue glasses with copper lens. "Bad ass."
"You guys ready," David asked from behind them. Harry turned to him and nodded and put on his glasses and walked out the door.
