Sure enough, directly after dinner, the entire population of the school goes to the arena where a gigantic maze has been set up.

Its many stories tall, and Professor Moody has hidden the Tri-Wizard Cup somewhere deep inside it.

Only he knows the exact location, but Bloom and Cedric get to go first because they tied for first place.

Cedric hugs his father, and Bloom hugs all her friends - but gives Harry an extra-hard hug.

She's starting to rethink her stance on not transforming, this maze is huge even from the outside.

Cedric and Bloom enter the maze first through different entrances, which close up behind them.

If they ever want to leave the maze, they only have to send up red sparks from their wands - Bloom seriously doubts they'll be there when someone gets to them though.

The challenge of the Maze is very different from the first two trials - the maze changes you.

You can find the cup, but you may lose yourself looking for it.


As soon as all four champions enter the maze, a heavy mist sets in and the hedges the maze is made from start rustling and making creature-like noises.

Cedric is walking through the maze when suddenly the walls begin to close in on him, he makes a run for it.

Fleur is running around scared out of her mind, and gets attacked and knocked unconscious.

Viktor Krum walks up and, seeing she was unconscious, walks past.

Bloom sees Fleur start to get swallowed by the undergrowth, and yells "Fleur! Fleur!"

When the girl doesn't answer, Bloom starts using her own magic to lift her back up and burning the vegetation trying to take her.

She sends up red sparks from her wand, and suddenly Viktor blasts a spell at her.

He misses, and Cedric yells "Bloom, get down!"

She hits the ground and crawls over to Fleur, who's still unconscious.

"Cedric, he's been bewitched!"

Bloom can sense the dark magic coming off Krum in waves, and Cedric knocks Krum out to keep him from attacking.

They see the cup and run towards it.

Cedric gets trapped by the plants, and there's no way for him to escape.

Bloom whispers "Don't tell anyone about this Cedric." and grabs a handful of the plants surrounding Cedric.

They all suddenly blow apart, and he stands up.

"Thought for a minute there you were going to leave me."

"What? With all my moral fiber?" Bloom smirks at him, and Cedric suddenly makes a new connection.

"That's how you got them all out, how you boiled the lake for a few moments."

"Yeah, but that's nothing compared to what I can really do."

"You didn't eat Gilliweed, did you?"

"Nice, seems you're figuring me out." Bloom's smirk fades, as they look at the cup.

Cedric says "Go, take it. You saved me after all."

"No, together. I didn't even want to be here in the first place, Cedric. You can have all the glory."

They sprint for the cup, and grab it at the exact same time - and then they're ported to a graveyard.


They look around, and Cedric asks "You okay?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Good, where are we?"

Bloom recognizes it suddenly, and horror paints itself all over her face.

"The Cup's a portkey! Grab the Cup!"

She grabs his hand and starts dragging him, and he asks "What?"

"Questions later!"

Suddenly, Bloom's hit in the back with a spell and gets knocked to the ground.

Cedric whips out his wand to see Peter Pettigrew standing there with a large cauldron behind him.

Voldemort hisses "Kill the spare."

Pettigrew casts the Killing Curse at Cedric, but he's suddenly surrounded by a glowing orange shield and the spell bounces off - and grazes Bloom, weakening her.

Cedric stares in awe, and Bloom mutters "Not on my watch, Snake-face."

She's pulled up by Peter Pettigrew, and trapped between a giant statue and its scythe - but she keeps the shield around Cedric going.

She casts a spell to keep the shield active even if she's knocked unconscious, then yells "Let me go, you pathetic little rat!"

From inside a cauldron in front of the statue, Voldemort hisses "Do it now!"

Pettigrew goes over to the cauldron, and holds up the cloth.

"Bones of the father, unwillingly given." he drops a bone into the cauldron - and Bloom can guess it's from Tom Riddle's father, who he supposedly killed himself.

"Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed." he chops his own hand off, the one without the finger, into the cauldron.

"Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken." he takes a large knife out and cuts into Bloom's arm enough to collect what must be six ounces of blood easily.

She makes sure to keep her magic inactive right then, not wanting to give Voldemort any more power than he already has.

Pettigrew is on the receiving end of one of her best glares ever, and gulps before dropping the blood into the cauldron.


The cauldron bursts into flames, and Voldemort reforms from the fire - growing from a gross, slimy husk that looks like it could have been a very ugly child with no head to a full-grown man - in a very disgusting manner.

Cedric gasps, and Bloom gives the evil wizard a glare that says she's going to turn him back to flames.

Voldemort puts the Death-Eater mark on Pettigrew's arm, summoning all the other Death-Eaters with the same mark.

There have to be thirty of them, and Voldemort is angry and disappointed in them.

None of them tried to find him, not even his most trusted follower: Lucius Malfoy.

Bloom glares fire at him, and yells "I knew I had a bad feeling about you, you two-faced, double-crossing snake!"

Everyone turns to look at her at her outburst, and Voldemort says "Ah, Bloom, I'd forgotten you were there. Peter here has told me quite the interesting story - Harry Potter's little winged protector from another universe, how fascinating."

"My lord, I heard it all from her own mouth!"

Pettigrew is granted a new hand, one made form a gray substance, and grins widely at it.

Cedric's jaw drops, and Lucius says "Well, that would explain quite a bit."

Bloom says "Treacherous little rats always tell the most interesting stories. Here's a piece of advice from a person: you looked better in the pot, Snake-Face."

Bloom's glare is on fire, and the pebbles and stones in the graveyard start shaking like there's an earthquake.

"Lucius, Draco told me about your little bet with him. Sorry to say I ruined it - the trial didn't last a minute."

That stills everyone, and magical fire ignites on Bloom's skin - then spreads to the statue and starts melting the scythe trapping her.

"You want to see just what I can do? Well, here it is!"

Everything is shaking hard in response to Bloom's anger now, and suddenly large pieces of the statue break off and head towards the Death-Eaters as geysers of fire erupt from the ground.

"Charmix!"

As the Death-Eaters are distracted by the deadly pieces of statue, Bloom transforms and starts blasting.

Stuff quickly burns, and she uses that fire to her advantage as well.

People are thrown against the shield protecting Cedric, and he sees a lot of scorch marks and burns and fire.

Bloom's dueling and blasting Death-Eaters - wordlessly dueling, something no fourth year should know how to do.

Soon, only Voldemort is left standing, and he says "Seems Peter didn't know of your true strength then, Bloom."

"Neither do you, Snake-Face! Or should I call you Tom Marvolo Riddle?!"

She blasts him, knocking him to the ground in a smoking pile.

All the Death-Eaters whipped their heads up in anger when she insulted their master, then it changed to shock when she called him by the name he was given at birth, but she knocks everyone down by releasing the power of the Dragon Flame on them.

A massive firedragon appears out of her body, knocking everyone down and flying off into the sky.

The shield around Cedric fails, and Bloom yells "The Cup!"

She teleports over to him in a vortex of fire, and he summons the Cup to them as she changes back to her human form.

Cedric is holding onto her shoulders, and then the Cup is in her hands and they're gone.

Voldemort howls in rage, but it's far too late.


In the arena, Bloom and Cedric suddenly appear. Bloom's holding the Cup, and Cedric's holding onto her shoulders hard.

Bloom drops the Cup as people come running.

Amos Diggory is one of them, along with Harry and Professor Dumbledore.

She grins as the people get within earshot, and says "Hi everybody, Voldemort's back."

With that, she promptly collapses.

Harry runs over, and Cedric says "Don't touch the Cup! It's a Portkey!"

He kneels next to Bloom, right next to Harry, and whispers "Harry, she…"

'You saw?"

"I couldn't not see. She's really…?"

"Yes, you can't tell anybody. Not anyone in the Ministry, not any of your friends - nobody."

"There's something else - Lucius Malfoy. He was there - along with the parents of a lot of Slytherin kids.. Also, she got grazed by the Killing Curse."

Harry goes still at that, and Fyra comes flying over and lands by Bloom's body.

She starts nudging Bloom's face with her head, but it's no use for waking her up.

Harry says "It's alright Fyra, she's sleeping for now."

Amos gets through the crowd and hugs Cedric hard.

"Father, she told the truth. The Dark lord has returned."

Amos goes very still, and says "This is bad, very bad."

Harry's trying to make sure Bloom's alright, and Cedric points to her arm.

When Harry rolls up Bloom's arm, he sees a long cut and a skull and snake mark on her arm.

Fyra leans closer and drips a few tears onto the wound, closing it instantly.

Harry strokes Fyra's feathers and says "Good girl, very good girl."

Moody has Harry take Bloom and follow him while people question Cedric.

He gives an altered version of what happened: he and Bloom fought all the Death-Eaters off with their Hogwarts training, and managed to get away.

He leaves out everything concerning her fairy powers, not knowing who knows and who doesn't.


AN: Yeah, Voldemort's back. And Lucius Malfoy had better not show his face around her ever again if he wants to live - this would be why Bloom always got a bad feeling about him since the day she first met him. Seems they all got a good scare though, think Draco's going to be an idiot and mess with her next year? Read and find out!
