The following months were peaceful. The four champions flew together, even sorted out teams from their houses to have a mini Qudditch tournament. Hermione however was getting hate mail which caused her to miss several classes; she now spent all her time trying to figure out how Rita Skeeter was getting on the grounds.

Fleur Delacour, Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory, Harry and Ginny were having an evening picnic when two things happened. One was an owl for Fleur. It was a large barn owl with sandy coloured wings.

"Sandstorm?" Ginny said her eyes widening "that's Bill's owl" she reached for the letter when Fleur grabbed hold of it.

"It is for me" she muttered slipping it into her jeans pocket.

"Oh come on Fleur let me read it, I need something to tease my brother with" Ginny pleaded

"Maybe but my brothers are here" she said "and I don't want zem to tease me"

"Gryffindor honour that I won't" Harry said.

"Hufflepuff honour" Cedric nodded

"I never break my vord" Viktor said

"Fine" Fleur huffed pulling the letter out and began to read out loud.

Darling flower (at that Fleurs cheeks went slightly pink and Ginny and a small evil smile)

The weather here is still hot and dry. Merlin's beard it's times like this that I wished I was still in England feeling the cool breeze on my face. I have some good news darling, for I will be able to watch the third task. I managed to get the week off and mum was asked by professor McGonagall to come and support Harry so why not come and support both of you?

I'm sorry to keep this short but I promise when I see you again –

Fleur broke off and quickly shoved the letter into her pocket her cheeks almost as red as Ginny's hair. "You wouldn't want to know the rest" she said quickly.

Cedric, Viktor and Harry shared a look of concern.

"Fleur are you and Bill…..sleeping together?" Cedric asked

"NO!" Fleur shouted looking horrified "if you must know its privet stuff"

"Vell that doesn't help us" Viktor said raising an eyebrow.

"Well I'm not reading ze rest so zere"

"I think we should find out don't you lads?" Ginny said grinning

The boys shared a look before pouncing on Fleur. Cedric grabbed hold of her hands while Viktor grabbed hold of her legs and Harry searched for the letter.

"Get off of me" Fleur squealed

"Now, now Fleur we have to know what Bill is saying to our sister" Harry said "hem, hem. Hair like silver thread, blah, blah, eye's of the bluest sapphire blah, blah kisses from Aphrodite herself, blah, blah, miss you ever so much, blah, blah lots of love and kisses from bill"

"Aw I am so going to tease Bill about this" Ginny grinned.

"Fleur Delacour, 'Arry Potter, Viktor Krum and Cedric Diggory monsieur Bagman wishes you to go to ze Qudditch pitch" Madam Maxime called.

The four champions scrabbled up tripping over the picnic blanket; Fleur quickly snatched the letter from Harry as they ran towards the pitch.

"Please, please, please let it be a Qudditch task" they all pleaded as they ran.

Ginny gathered the stuff, laughing softly at the antics of the champions, they were all like little children when it came to Qudditch, and then again so was she.

There was a crunching sound, like a footstep on a branch, Ginny turned round and saw nothing, and she shrugged and walked off.

"A maze! I can't believe it a maze" Fleur said

"Ve vill vork together" Viktor said "I vill teach you what I know"

"And I as well" Cedric and Fleur said together

Harry grinned "thank you my siblings"

There was a crunching sound and a man stumbled out of the woods he collapsed on the floor and grabbed hold of Harry.

"Help……tell….Dumbledore……" he gasped

The other three champions drew out their wands and pointed them at the back of the mans head.

"No it's Mr Crouch from the Ministry" Harry shouted to Cedric he looked at the man who had twigs sticking out of his hair and a three month stubble. "Mr Crouch, please calm down if you come with me we'll take you to Dumbledore"

Crouch let go of Harry and started to converse with a tree.

"He's barking mad" Cedric muttered

"And he vorks for your Ministry?"

Mr Crouch whirled round and grabbed hold of Harry.

"I am sorry Harry…..my fault….. I let you down……. My son…….all my fault……he's getting stronger……you know who…….bertha is dead because of me….get Dumbledore"

He then went back to the tree talking again.

"Cedric and I will find Dumbledore. Viktor, Fleur I need you to keep an eye on him"

The two foreign students nodded and Cedric followed Harry.

Dumbledore was following them as they ran to the area near the Beauxbatons carriage. As they got near they found two frozen bodies. Viktor lying frozen and Fleur nearer the carriage her hair covering her face as if she made a run for it but was too late.

"Fleur, Viktor" Harry and Cedric shouted.

Cedric ran to Viktor's side and Harry gathered Fleur in his arms.

"Stunned" Dumbledore confirmed he woke them up and they babbled in their native languages.

Just then Hagrid and Madam Maxime came.

Things blurred for Harry but from what he could gather Moody came along and went to search for Crouch. Viktor and Fleur was bundled into their rooms by their heads and Cedric and Harry left to go to bed

It was the morning of the third task, and Harry's head was almost like the maze, twisted with all the knew information. Not only was he trying to remember all the spells his 'siblings' taught him, but the knowledge of what happened to Neville's parents and the strange dream he had in divination was making things worse.

"Potter, you're family is waiting for you" McGonagall snapped bringing Harry out of he's trance.

He opened to door to the side room of the great hall.

"Harry" Mrs Weasley squealed pulling Harry into a bone crushing hug

"Wotcher Harry" Bill said winking.

"Hi Bill" Harry said shaking his hand.

"Bill" Fleur called

"Who's that Bill?" Mrs Weasley asked

Bill turned bright red and Harry grinned.

"Why Mrs Weasley that is Bill's new girlfriend and a good friend of mine Fleur Delacour the Beauxbatons champion"

Mrs Weasley's lips were in a straight line as she watched the silvery blonde girl embrace her eldest son.

"Mum, this is Fleur my girlfriend. Fleur this is my mum"

"It iz a pleasure to meet you Mrs Weasley" Fleur said politely holding her hand out "I wanted to thank you for looking after 'Arry. 'Arry is like a leetle brother to me"

Mrs Weasley shook Fleurs hand "it's nice to meet you too" she said unfortunately Harry had the feeling she didn't mean those words.

Harry was pushed to meet Viktor's and Fleur's parents. After half sentences Mr Diggory came up.

"So….thought you could take my son's glory away huh? And that article from Rita today, a parslemouth hmm?" he said eyes blazing

Harry stepped away

"Dad! Don't you dare say that to Harry, Harry didn't enter the tournament, and he is a polite, friendly, kind person who is like a brother to me" Cedric snapped

Mr Diggory looked ashamed of himself "I'm sorry Harry…" he mumbled

"You shouldn't believe everything Rita Skeeter says" mrs Weasley snapped "just because he's a parslemouth doesn't mean he's dark or dangerous." She wrapped an arm round Harry. "Now Harry dear show me round the castle it's been a long time since I've been here"
