Draco Malfoy X Reader

• Last Task •

Dumbledore was correct. The atmosphere in this maze was far more terrifying than I anticipated it to be.

I looked behind me and saw the entrance to the maze closing up and felt myself panic.

I walked further into the maze and found myself listening to voices inside my head. They were screaming at me, shouting my most inner thoughts and telling me how useless I was to everyone. The more they screamed at me, the more I believed them, but I was strong enough to overrule them and continue with my search.

I hated how silent it was in here. It was if the maze wanted you at your most vulnerable before snatching you up as its prey. We are all the little mice and the maze is our trap.

I ran with my wand in hand and heard a scream in the distance. It sounded like it came from Fluer.

I stood still and listened out for any other noises before my vision suddenly became blurry and a voice took over inside my head. Without noticing it, I had let my fists burst into flames. The green light, illuminating out from me caused most of the maze to light up in my area, attracting more attention to me.

My vision slowly came back and I was face to face with Krum. He looked at me strangely then walked away like nothing.

I stood questioning what on earth had just happened until snapping to the sound of wind coming my way, closing up the bushes behind me. I turned and rushed down the pathway until bumping into someone's chest. I looked up and saw the small light that illuminated Cedric's face from his wand.

"Cedric, my god." I scolded him, laughing.

"Sorry, Y/n. Did i startled you?" Cedric laughed.

"Slightly, but nothing can beat what this maze has to offer..." I trail off.

A glimpse of light caught me and Cedric's attention that was located just down the pathway from us.

"Is that...?"

"The Triwizard cup." Cedric finished for me.

"What are we waiting for?" I asked, stepping forward only to be stopped by Cedric.

"Somethings not right. This is too easy." He said more to himself. I turned and raised a brow at him.

"What the hell are you on about?" I questioned as he continued to look at the ground in thought.

Out of no where, Krum appeared and shot spells at us.

"Get down!" Cedric shouted, ducking down and spotting Harry running over to us.

"Expelliumos!" Cedric shouted causing Krum to fly backwards and land on the ground harshly.

Cedric was about to strike another spell at him until me and Harry jumped in front of him and stopped.

"He's bewitched!" Harry shouted, but Cedric didn't listen and pushed Harry out of the way to continue walking.

"Cedric!" I shouted, but again he ignored.

We all ran in the same direction until spotting the Triwizard cup again, unattended.

We all looked at each other then started to run for it. We pushed and pulled at each other to be the first one to touch it. After all, it is a competition.

Pieces of the maze started attacking us, whether it was from the bushes or the ground. My leg got caught in one of the branches and it snaked around me so I couldn't move. The more I struggled the more it tightened around me.

I calmed my body and closed my eyes to concentrate on burning off the growing branches. Within seconds I felt them loosen around me and bolted up. Cedric was being dragged down away from the cup making me stop and think to save him.
