Besides the school in the Quidditch pitch...
It can't be called Quidditch pitch anymore... but a maze...
A huge maze forest appeared the last few days out of nowhere...
Triwizard Maze! The third and the last round of the tournament...
The students in the entrance of the maze had made a small stage so they can see the champions enter the maze from here...
Dumbledore stood in front of the four champions talking about the rules of the game...
"Hey... have you seen Perona these days?" Hermione looked around and didn't see Perona which made her feel weird... As far as they know... Perona should be the first one to scream Gray's name at this time...
"No..." Ron also felt weird and looked around himself with in wonder...
Perona wasn't there...? Nope, she is... It's just that since she knows that Gray will catch Voldemort, she was excited and kept watching from the ring...
Who's Voldemort... As far as she knows, he's the strongest and most fearful wizard out there... Such a thing naturally she won't let go...
Gray stood beside Harry And the others waiting for Dumbledore to end his speech and start the game...
But Gray didn't care about this... Now he was thinking about the poisonous gaze that was coming from where the teachers were standing...
Without looking there, he already knew it was Snape who was looking at him...
'So fast!' Gray really felt it was so fast!
He guessed that Snape will find that it was him who attacked him... But not so soon like this... The angry look in his eyes alone shows that Snape already found a lead for himself... It's just he really wonders how he did it...
Gray was confident about his way of dealing with his traces...
'Looks like there is another talent in Snape I didn't get...' Gray's thoughts went in the wrong direction...
Snape really found something that leads to Gray... Even though Gray removed his traces completely but somethings can't be hidden... Especially for a dark art master like him...
A few hours before now... Snape even used magic to go back in time to find those things...
Since Gray can use it... Naturally, he can also use it... It's just, that he's not as free as Gray when he uses time magic...
Even though he didn't find what he really wanted... still he caught something...
What he found was enough to make him suspect Gray...
If it wasn't for the fact that the game was about to start... He would love to catch Gray and have a nice chat with a cup of Veritaserum juice with him...
(Veritaserum is a powerful truth serum. The potion effectively forces the drinker to answer any questions put to them truthfully)
In fact, for such a thing, normally it shouldn't lead to use time magic and take such a huge risk to himself...
But since yesterday when he woke up... he always felt like something was wrong... As if he lost something important... So his mood was so mixed and couldn't help but stare at Gray...
As Dumbledore named the four champions, the students around cheered hard for everyone.
Gray looked at the group of students that even wrote his name on their heads and felt funny... What was funnier was that he found Cedric, the boy he took the place of, was also one of those who cheer for him...
While looking at all this, Gray also found the small movement of the fake Alastor Moody...
Speaking of... this little death eater was somehow good... This maze was actually made by him...
Even though it's not a really hard task to do this... But compared with another wizard... He was really better than many others in transformation and dark magic...
After the fake Alastor Moody bewitched the bear boy... he walked to Harry...
What made Gray raised his eye a little... That Dumbledore was actually also paying attention to Moody... And looked like he already knew that Krum was bewitched...
Apparently, this old fox was also aware of the problem here...
But he still shouldn't have realized that The cup was bewitched...
'Is it?' Gray thought of this and doubted... Since the cup was bewitched for the first time... There was no reason not to bewitched for the second time...
Let's not say the one who made the maze was the one who he was eyeing...
Gray thought of this and looked at Dumbledore with a deeper gaze...
Gray didn't have much time to think about it, and the game already started.
So Gray walked to the maze tunnel and didn't look back...
...
...
"Hmm... Thriller Bark also had a maze before..." Perona came out and looked at the foggy trees around them and said...
The air in this maze was somehow similar to Thriller Bark... gloomy trees, foggy air... strong wind sound... Many weird whispers coming from far and near, sound so creepy...
A weak-hearted person, won't be able to stand the air in this place...
Gray felt everything around him and didn't care much... But kept walking left and right as if he's familiar with this maze...
Till he reached a dead-end with no way... But Gray didn't stop and kept walking right through the tree wall, reaching the other side...
Behind the wall, there was a small space where the Triwizard cup was placed...
Looking at the shiny white cap, Gray didn't try to catch it but waited for Harry to appear...
And soon someone appeared, but he wasn't Harry... But the bewitched Krum... Seeing Kurm rising his wand ready to attack him, Gray was faster and already appeared beside him knocking him on the ground...
The fake Moody bewitched Krum to attack him and Fleur so Harry could reach the cup easier...
He already heard Fleur's screaming sound before... And now with Krum's fall down... Only Harry was left beside himself... And he should appear soon...
And as he expected, Harry finally found him...
"You're here" Looking at Harry that already suffered inside the maze, Gray smiled and greeted him normally.
"Gray... Perona! How?" Harry looked at Gray and Perona who were floating beside him and said dumbfoundedly... But for him who knew her ability... This was a stupid question...
"Come Harry, someone is waiting for us... We shouldn't be late.." Gray smiled while looking at the confused Harry walked to the cup side...
"WOOOOOOSHHHH" As Gray stood beside the cup, the air around the maze started rioting, and the trees crashing each other which scared Harry who was still standing in his place thinking about what Gray meant...
"Catch it together!! Perona go back!" Gray said to Harry who came to his side and told Perona to go back to his ring... After all, they were about to teleport to another place...
The moment Perona was back in the ring to ring, Harry and Gray looked at each other and touched the cup at the same time...
*WIGG*
The moment they touched the cup, the space around them made a weird tearing sound, and suddenly twisted both of them sending them to a complete another place...
The cup was enchanted with Apparition magic that sent them to where Voldemort wanted Harry to appear...
"*Cough* *Cough*.... where are we!!" Harry who wasn't used to the Apparition process, felt the world spinning around him and said with a bad face...
"In a graveyard... Are you okay..." Gray said while looking around and asked Harry who was struggling to stand up normally...
"This... This... I know this place..." Harry looked around, and saw the death god statue behind him and felt bad...
"Yes... This place is the one from your dreams... Voldemort should be here..." Gray looked at the already scared Harry and answered with a bad smile...
Gray knows what Harry was talking about... And only stood there calmly waiting for Voldemort to appear...
"This is bad! Let's go back! take the cup to go back!" Harry who already realized what kind of situation he might be in, said within panic, wanting to leave this place at once...
But it was already too late for him to panic...
From the little house like a church in front of them, the door was suddenly opened and a familiar face came out holding something in his hand...
"Aghaaaa" The moment this man appeared, Harry screamed in pain, the scar on his head started hurting so much...
Looking at the screaming Harry, Gray's eyes flashed weirdly...
Apparently, the part of Voldemort's soul was aroused when it met the main part...
It's really weird that the Voldemort Horcruxes was able to feel him, while he himself couldn't feel his own soul in Harry...
Looks like... Cutting his own soul into many pieces was really not a good thing...
Yup... The man who appeared in front of them was Peter Pettigrew, Ron's old rat, and Voldemort who's between life and death, in ugly deformed skeleton and skin child form...
And also the reason why Gray came here today!
Looking at Voldemort's child form, Gray didn't feel bad but smiled weirdly as if he found a treasure...
