U.K weather, permanently set on shuffle :(

While Harry was lecturing the elves, Dumbledore was about to speak to the crowd when he found himself faced with an irate Delacour family. Montel Delacour was enraged at the utter gall of the deranged old wizard, who seemed utterly unfazed about the fact he had kidnapped the daughter of a Senior Minister for the French Ministry of magic. Dumbledore was having trouble understanding the angry couple as they yelled at him in french, but when the two girls ran up and embraced them he realised who they were, he was still unsure why they were angry after all their daughters were never in real danger.

Madam Maxine and Igor Karkaroff watched with mild amusement as Dumbledore was being screamed at, apparently the old twit had not realized that he had not asked for the families permission and was about to find himself in deep trouble. Dumbledore was finally beginning to realize he had made a mistake and forgotten to ask the families when Amelia Bones sent him a howler that evening, although it didn't properly describe the problem as it was mainly swear words and incoherent yelling.

Harry spent the next week mainly considering how to help the other champions without breaking the oath, a maze was no real problem it was the obstacles within that would pose a danger. While Harry considered and decided that disruption would probably not hinder the 'education' at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had managed to shift the blame for his screw up on a sick owl (no one bought it), it was enough to save him from being fired.

It was a pleasantly warm morning when breakfast was served to all the students, some of them had noticed that Harry had joined them which was unusual. As the last of the food was vanished by the elves Harry stood up and with his voice magically amplified called "Champions heads up!"

Fleur and Victor one knowing Harry well and the other being a world class seeker with reflexes to match were able to dodge the incoming water balloons, Cedric being neither didn't and was hit in the face and soaked, as the balloons landed three boxes filled with watery projectiles appeared one for each champion. The three champions knowing that anything Harry involved them with was usually something they needed, immediately returned fire by levitation and banishing their ammo towards him. Students ducked laughing as the champions began their water balloon duel, leaping over tables, using student's as cover, and even using plates to block incoming balloons had the hall in an uproar of laughter and fun.

Umbridge stood from her chair (poor chair) and gave and annoyed 'hem-hem' but it did nothing as she was drowned out by the sound of children laughing and that was unacceptable. She took out her wand not noticing the looks of amusement from the staff and even Dumbledore she vanished the balloons and boxes, "that will be quite enough of this disgraceful-" but before she could finish many balloon filled boxes appeared on every table and a banner appeared above the teachers table with 'free for all' written on it. Even many of the teachers became involved, Dumbledore had at this point given up on manipulating Harry and had decided to go with the flow and hefted a balloon at Umbridge. Deloris was angry, these filthy little cretins were *SPLASHOOOH" he thoughts were derailed as she was nailed by a balloon. Harry smiled as the words on the box changed and a picture of Umbridge appeared with the words 'priority target' written below it, the woman either didn't notice or lacked the common sense to run.

Fleur, Harry, Madam Maxine and the rest of Beauxbatons students were laughing at the events of the day, over a delightful repast of crumpets and a show being projected by a pensive. The memory being shown projector style was of Umbridge fleeing in panic while being pelted with hundreds of water balloons, from student and teachers alike, even Madam Maxine and headmaster Karkaroff were joining in. When asked why they joined in they simply said they mistook her for a giant toad, and it was common knowledge that toads needed to be kept wet.

The water balloon battle was repeated at random meals over the next few weeks, also Harry introduced wizard paintball to Hogwarts Standing before the students at dinner, Harry instructed how to use a simple charm to create a blob of color magic, and promptly fired it was Victor who bounced it off a shield. Umbridge once again stood up and tried to intervene, making herself priority target again.

As Harry watched a multi-colored Deloris trudge back into the castle he wondered if she'd ever learn, probably not he concluded.

The next month or so followed a similar schedule, wake, breakfast, all out war, clean up, classes, bed, rinse and repeat. Finally the final task was before them, the champions stood before the maze as the task was explained to them by Dumbledore. Before they went in they were introduced to a special guest for the final event, an older wizard in neat pressed robes, his white hair was short and neat as was his goatee which was a stark contrast to his smooth dark skin, and pinned to his robes was the symbol of the ICW this was Babajide Akingbade the current Supreme Mugwump. The gentleman greeted all of the champions in a deep african voice similar to James Earl Jones but even deeper. When he greeted Harry he did of course know who he was,

"It is good to meet you Mr Evans, I have heard much from your grandparents," he smiled,

Harry shook the man's hand, "It is good to meet you to sir, I see that the wizarding world is in good hands, especially Britain,"

Akingbade looked thoughtful, "Indeed, now I believe there is a task that needs completing,"

As the audience took it's seat, Babajide Akingbade slipped something in his pocket unnoticed by everyone. Harry and the others entered the maze at staggered times, Harry went last. No one had noticed the absence of a certain pink-clad individual. The first trap were some grasping vines, but they didn't even get near him as he placed a floating ring of fire around his feet. He then came across a boggart which didn't even get time to change before he transfigured it into a football and kicked it over the hedge. Next was a sphinx but before it could ask Harry yelled "42!" at it, he left the unconscious twitching creature behind before getting to the clearing with the glowing cup set on a stone podium, his fingers were less than an inch from it before he stopped. He glared suspiciously at the cup, and cast detection magic on it, he found a portkey that was expected but he couldn't see the destination and he should have been able to, he also detected some other spells but they were hidden, this was way to suspicious.

"Harry? you've won why are you not taking the cup?" Fleur's voice came,

Harry turned and saw her and Victor at different entrances, "It's been tampered with, the portkey charm has been changed, we-" he was interrupted as Cedric burst out of the last entrance with an acromantula chasing him, he was running straight for the cup, "CEDRIC DON'T TOUCH THE CUP IT'S BEEN TAMPERED WITH!" Harry yelled as he tried to intercept the teen.

Harry collided with Cedric to stop him, but their combined momentum caused them the collide with the podium and the cup. Harry Cedric and the cup slammed into the floor hard, but this wasn't the grounds of Hogwarts, the cup bounced a few feet from them and as Harry dimly noticed headstones a voice spoke,

"Kill the spare!"

Harry reacted out of instinct and used accio to pull the cup and with a flick sent it right at Cedric. Cedric stared in petrified horror as the killing curse flew towards him before something touched him and he vanished, Harry felt drained as he realized he did that without a foci as he was nearly naked, but before he could form another thought,

"stupify!"
