The Hogwarts Games
Chapter 4, The Third Challenge
A few months passed and everybody stopped studying. Everybody was so scared for their lives. Twopeople were already died and I was to blame for one of the deaths. Finally one day while everybody was eating in the Great Hall Headmaster Donaldson made an announcement:
"Today is the Third Challenge and tomorrow is The DeathMatch"His voice was overcome with grief.
The remaining competitors stood up and walked to the Headmaster's Study as usual. Ariana ran up in the line to me and said something to me that took my breath away:
"I love you" and she kissed meo n the mouth.
"I love you too"I muttered and I meant it I truly loved her whether it was because one of us may die today or what other reason we had both fallen in love with each other.
We walked to the headmaster's study went inside and sat down. She layed her head down on my shoulder and cuddled me. I hugged her back. Professor Donaldson walked in the room. But he looked different... His hair was untidy and greasy, his skin was pale, and his eyes were dark, lifeless, and had dark circles around them from lack of sleep.
"It's time for the Third Challenge children. Today you will be performing a wizard's duel. Unforgivable Curses are allowed only for today. Go down to the Black Lake" He moaned.
We all went down to the Black Lake and got onto the three platforms. The competitors were me against Victoria Clearwater, Ariana against Angelina, and Jake Clearwater against Chris. We all drew our wands.
"Begin"Headmaster Donaldson shouted.
I drew my wand and immediately started firing curses at Victoria.
"Expulso"I yelled and I shot an explosion spell at her. It narrowly missed her but exploded a nearby tree.
"Avada Kedavra"I heard and saw the body of Jake Clearwater drop to the ground and a shaken Chris standing above his body. Both Gryffindors were dead.
Victoria burst into tears and I took this as an oppurtunity.
"Avada Kedavra"I shouted and the curse hit her. She slumped to the ground dead.
Me and Chris were standing beside Headmaster Donaldson. It was just Angelina and Ariana.
"Avada Kedavra" Angelina shouted and the jet of green light narrowly missed Ariana.
"Reducto"Ariana rapidly cast. The explosion hit Angelina and she crumpled to the ground, dead.
"Congratulations, you three. Tomorrow is the DeathMatch, prepare well"Headmaster Donaldson muttered looking at the ground and not at us.
