[Terrified]

The pride and fearlessness he had felt only a week ago had faded with each passing day, until Viktor was left with a similar feeling to the one he had worn for the First Task: terror.

For his life.

Because he wasn't sure if even Harry could save him this time.

Especially after the Headmaster had whispered a little secret that had turned his entire world upside down, and ensured the he would never win the tournament.

The final twist was for them to duel their golems, and that would be as good as duelling Harry, and Viktor was so doomed.

With that thought, even the training Harry was giving him didn't feel like it would be enough, He had never gotten anywhere close to disarming the other boy, and the golem was only slightly less powerful than Harry himself. It had been something the Hogwarts Headmaster had suggested, and Viktor knew that was only because of his own Champion's inadequacy.

The man was just evil, and manipulative, and… Viktor wasn't sure he should continue.

But that didn't mean that the Hogwarts Champion would actually manage to get past everything else with a golem that looked like his. It looked like a light wind would blow that golem over, and that wasn't of much use to anyone.

Viktor couldn't deny that it would be a good show for the spectators, and he wished he was one of them, but he was going to get his wand handed to him at the end of the task.
