Chapter 15: the third task

The day Regulus had collapsed had postponed the third task until he was released from the hospital wing and now the day had finally arrived. The third task was finally here and Regulus was ready he still felt uneasy since he had nightmares of the end of this task he knew he had to find the cup that was inevitable he knew he had to beat his friend and his future lady Peverell so they didn't get hurt that he was sure of and so when he had his breakfast that morning Regulus left to change for this final task and probably his last day ever. While Regulus was changing his family girls and friends were making their way to the quidditch pitch so they could watch the champions enter the monstrous maze that had grown. Once the champions were ready Regulus shook hands with his friend Viktor and then he kissed Gabriela and wished them luck or so they thought what Regulus was really thinking was how sorry he was that they had no idea what was happening and so they each stood at their entrance and Regulus had to go in first.

When the cannon went off Regulus entered the maze after mouthing a quick 'sorry and i love you' to his family and this did not go unnoticed by his mothers and then the hedge of the maze closed behind him and he started sprinting through the maze. Half way through Regulus was panting as if he was out of breath but what was really wrong was he was his body was overpowering him and so he slowed down only to hear a scream and so Regulus knew that Gabriela was taken out of the maze and so all that was standing in his way was Viktor and so Regulus transformed into his phoenix form and flew the rest of the way until he saw the cup. When Regulus transformed back into himself he touched the cup and felt that tug at his navel and then he was transported to an unknown location.

Back in the maze Viktor was attacked and so he was out of the game he was happy to come in second but now everything was left to Regulus and this was scaring everyone two students older than Regulus had been defeated and the young lord was still in there somewhere. Back with Regulus he had spotted a grave with a statue of death on it with the name Tom Riddle on the grave stone and soon Regulus heared movement and so he hid from whoever was here. Back at the quidditch pitch Kylie screamed "HARRY" and when everyone looked at her they asked what was wrong and so she said "He's in a grave yard he is giving his life up" Bellatrix and Narcissa screamed out Regulus's name this upset everyone the young lad who was kind caring and honest was going to give his own life up. Back in the grave yard a dark dressed woman was holding a bundle of some sorts and then the stone statue had grabbed Regulus and soon he was struggling against his captive. While trapped the dark dressed woman started to heat a cauldron and placed the small bundle inside then she started a ritual that sounded so dark it made Regulus sick, "Bone of the father you will resurrect your son, Flesh of the servant you will resurrect your master, Blood of the enemy you will resurrect your foe and just like that the woman had taken a blade and cut deep into Regulus's flesh and then dropped the blood into the cauldron and then it began to burn as a pale figure had risen.

Once the pale figure had been covered in a black cloak he asked his servant for his wand and soon he was presented with his white yew and phoenix feather wand and then out of the shadows more of the dark followers had shown up and the now fully resurrected Dark lord spoke "Welcome my faithful followers 13 years its been and now you have returned to me" The Dark lord was pleased to see his followers and then he decided to kill to woman who had helped him come back to a full body and then he noticed Regulus and so the dark lord spoke "Ah Harry Potter the boy who lived" and then Regulus fell from his holding place and he landed on the ground with a loud thud and the dark lord just laughed as his mortal enemy fell to the ground. After toying with Regulus the dark lord cast the torture curse at him with all his power and this made Regulus scream out in agony never had he been placed under this curse and now he was begging for it to end and once the curse was lifted Regulus was still withering on the floor and when he finally stopped he stood up shaking still and then he pulled out the elder wand and started duelling the dark lord until he saw his parent in their ghost form and James spoke "Harry we can only delay him but only for a moment do you understand you must get to the portkey when we tell you" Regulus nodded and then Lily said "Now Harry sweetheart your ready" and so just like that the two forms rushed forward and created a diversion so Regulus could escape and so Regulus pointed his wand at the cup and shouted "Accio" and then the cup flew straight to his hand and he was gone.

Back on the quidditch pitch Regulus had landed beaten and bloodied he had done it again he had survived the dark lord not many people could say that but when his breathing stopped everyone ran towards him and his girls had just cried while Kylie drenched Regulus in tears it hurt her like never before they were twins and Regulus was one strong person but at this moment he was not. Everyone believed Regulus was dead and so he was covered in a blue sheet and placed on a stretcher and taken to the Hospital wing.
