Hello Peoples! I know it's been a while, so I just wanted to let you know that I'm back. there's still a virus on my computer though.

I'm going to let y'all choose who to be the father. I'm posting a poll, and in a week i'll come back and update based on the answers. Luv yah!

Abbi: Sorry, but the whole point of this story is that she hates Voldy. :P Still, I hope you like it! BTW Harry will meet his mom VERY SOON. I only have a few more chapters to write. :( It's a very short story, apparently. I was going to add all this stuff, but oh well. Maybe i'll change it later on. I probably will.

PhoenixGryfindor: that really sucks about your basement. You must have been really disappointed. I'm only 14, so I can't say I know what you're going through, but I do know what it feels like to have such a hard project be destroyed. :(

S-Wanderer999: O WOW U HAVE A LOTTA QUESTIONS. :O No, they didnt do any form of adoption, it was too risky. they just took the baby Harry in. It's not impossible for them to have kids, but their first and only child died while the mother was in labor. She can't send any letters or stuff because, well, how the heck do you tell someone your'e their mom in a letter? Also, he might have reported her. Not to mention all the times the ministry has intercepted letters to Hogwarts in the books... OO Also, I'll talk about Sirius in the next book. Yeah, it's gonna be a series.

Saissister: Good advice. Like i said, though, you guys get to choose. Go on my poll and you can vote for him if you want. :3

Page-394-always1: I wasnt sad, just sorry. I, too, hate short chapters. However, the last chapters will probably be much longer. They're already planned out, it's the first few chapters I always have trouble with.

I hope you guys enjoy this and I plan on updating in a week. Gosh, that's painful, eveyr comment makes me wanna update.

Also, check out my ficpress story, PLEASE. Look up my username, SilenceWhispering24. PLEASE. (no one's commented...) LUV YALL!

Chapter 9

Harry was forced to face the obvious factor of the final game. He'd mastered the rest, mostly out of luck and thanks to friends. Needless to say, Harry was very worried. Still, he stood at the edge of the hedge maze. He looked at the crowd cheering the Champions on, with a growing sense of unease. I'm a fourth year. I don't know nearly as many spells as these guys. Hermione was helpful, sure, but is it enough? And who knows what will happen? He antagonized, shivering slightly, even though it wasn't very cold out.

Bella stood at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, watching her son with a feeling of pain. If only she could have contacted him! No, it wasn't worth the risk. This was the only thing she couldn't do. Having a status of a Death Eater had always been a terrible curse.

Neither person listened to Dumbledore as he yelled out the rules. Neither saw the fear on each other's face. They only felt a strange sense of connection. Harry couldn't understand it, but Bella could. It was love. Bella loved her son with a passion. When he went into the hedge maze, Bellatrix did something she hadn't done in years.

Bella prayed. She prayed to whatever God there might be that her son would live, and be safe. Then, with fear in her heart, she crept back into the forest, towards the Death Eater camp, before they could get suspicious.
