A.N. Okay, we're going on the assumption that Harry has done all the things in the previous chapters, so, yeah. And BTW, we know that the Summoning Charm would have worked on the Triwizard Cup, seeing as how Harry actually did summon it to him in the graveyard. But, enough talking about all that junk. On with the.. er… disclaimer.
Disclaimer the Third: I do not own Harry Potter. Or do I? -shifty eyes- No. I really don't. Which is quite sad, really. For me. Y'all are probably dancing with happiness at that little tidbit, though. -sigh-
The Third Triwizard Challenge
Bagman boomed his voice all over the place. "Ladies and gentlemen, the third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me remind you how the points currently stand! In first place with one hundred points—Mr. Harry Potter of Hogwarts School! Close behind him with eighty-five points—Mr. Cedric Diggory, also of Hogwarts School! Third place with eighty points—Mr. Viktor Krum of Durmstrang Institute! And in fourth place—Miss Fleur Delacour, of Beaxbatons Academy!"
Harry could just make out the Weasleys and Hermione cheering in the stands. He grinned, feeling more than ready for this task as well.
"And, before Mr. Potter even tries," Bagman added, looking at Harry with an amused twinkle in his eye. "The Triwizard Cup has been charmed. The Summoning Charm will not work on it." Harry's grin slid only a bit before getting just as bright again. He had been prepared for this, seeing as how Hermione had warned him they would probably do something like this, and made him come up with plans B, C and D as well. She had tried to get him to make plans E, F, and G, but Harry had refused after barely coming up with plan D (run around aimlessly until he found the cup), which, quite frankly, was a really bad plan. Plan C was little better, being that it was "Blast his way through the hedges." It was, however, very time consuming. So, he went with plan B.
Bagman counted to three and blew his whistle, and Harry ran into the maze. Then, raising his wand, he shouted the incantation he was now quite adept at. "Accio Firebolt!" He yelled, then waited for his beloved broomstick to just zoom right into his hand. And, of course, it did not fail him. He mounted the broomstick and, soaring high above the maze, flew right to the center, where he could see the Triwizard Cup glinting enticingly. He landed next to it easily and, a triumphant smile on his face, he reached out and wrapped his fingers around the shining handle after only fifteen second into the challenge.

A.N. Alright, so, yeah. I've decided that Accio never fails! Yay! I figured it makes more sense to do the Firebolt thing in this challenge than in the Dragon challenge, so that's what I made him do! -grins- I would totally rock in Harry's place.
So, y'all know the drill. Give me reviews, be they flame or praise or constructive criticism, and I will be very happy and you will have my eternal happiness. -nods-
