Chapter Fourteen: Expelliarmus

Albus, Scorpus, and Delphi now stood in the Forbidden Forest. Albus checked his watch, "Okay, we're now twenty minutes away from the first task. we should better disguise ourselves now."

Delphi took out a large paper bag, and pulled out two red, fur-lined robes. "They're Durmstrang robes. Well, not exactly. they're mine, but they look like Durmstrang robes. You two can melt into the group cheering on Viktor," she blushed, "I mean, Krum."

"Where will you melt into?" Albus asked, as he pulled on the robes.

"Beauxbatons of course," she pulled out blue robes. and pulled them on.

Minutes later, they heard what sounded like thousands of elephants stomping down from the castle. "Okay, let's go. Remember, the plan is to disarm Cedric." They walked out of the forest, and attempted to "blend in." A few Durmstang students shot them suspicious looks, but they wanted to get good seats to cheer on Krum, so sped up, and ignored the newcomers.

"Ladies, and gentlemen, I give you the greatest - the fabulous - the one and only - TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!" Ludo Bagman's voice boomed out. "There they are, the champions. Representing Durmstrang, Mr. Viktor Krum! From the Beauxbaton Academy, Ms. Fleur Delacour! Last, but not least, Mr Cedric Diggory and Mr Harry Potter, both representing Hogwarts! "

Albus noticed a girl sitting three seats away. She looked very much like Rose. He edged along the seats, with Scorpius trailing him and said, "Rose, what are you doing here?"

The girl turned around, "Who's Rose? And what happened to your accent?" Scorpius pinched Albus, and whispered in his ear, "It's Hermione. She was watching the Triwizard Tournament, remember?"

"What are you whispering about?" Hermione eyed them suspiciously, taking in their Durmstrang robes

Albus realized his mistake, and tried to imitate Viktor Krum's accent, "Uhh… Sorry… Herm – own – ninny. Mistook you for someone else"

Then, Bagman's voice boomed, "Each champion will have to get a golden egg from their dragon, to finish the task. So, without further ado, let us welcome the first champion - Mr. Cedric Diggory, facing his Swedish Short Snout".

Hermione turned back slowly to watch Cedric do his task.

Albus and Scorpius watched, as Cedric came into view, and faced a beautiful, blue-gray dragon.

"It's now, or never." Albus whispered to Scorpouus, taking care to avoid the detection of Hermione. They pulled out their wands, pointed it at Cedric, and whispered, together, "Expelliarmus!"

Cedric's wand flew out of his hand, in an arc, Albus could hear screams, but he and Scorpius were being pulled back, everything was swirling, and they were suddenly standing in the Forbidden Forest, with Delphi standing beside them.
