Stands line the walls and the Hall seems bigger then before.....all is shrouded in black in honor of the fallen champion, a opening in the center of the hall shows three steel chairs with three victims chained to each chair there hands and legs restrained and there heads lolling to one side.

In the first chair was Kronos Grimm, the second Jocelyn Mia Grimm and the third Marvolo Eris Gaunt.

Each wore a choker with the house colours of the there signifigant other around there neck. Dellen opened the doors to the great hall leading the champions in she took to the floor and said "The third task is about to begin!" she paused and looked at the champions giving them time to react.

Cian followed the Deputy Headmistress into the Great Hall. He hoped he had recovered enough mentally to be able to face this final challenge. At seeing the black covering the walls for the fallen champion, he made a fist and kissed it in honor of Kestral. He looked around and saw the walls lined with stands and then he froze.... His brown eyes hardened when they spotted Jocelyn restrained and unconscious in a chair before him, around her neck the color of his house on a necklace.

His hands clenched into fists at his sides as he fought to simply go to her. As much as he wanted to, he had to wait. This was part of the task, cruel as it was, and he would have to wait until he was told to go to her. "Damn...." he said under his breath. First, her and now Jocelyn.... Cian took a calming breath, not that it did any good at the moment.

Sirius sighed, getting ready for yet, another task. It was so close to the end. And yet, the end still seemed to still be so far. The tournament was supposed to be safe, yet, Kestrel was violently murdered. But Sirius couldn't think about that. His mind was on the task at hand. Entering hhr great hall, there were no cheers. The death of the other champion sure did a number on the crowd. Yet, Peter and James were watching, smiling as Sirius stood at the entrance of the hall. His eyes were locked on Marvolo. Even stuck to a chair she found a way to look beautiful.

Taking small steps, looking at  Marvolo, he arrived next to Cian. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he squeezed it. "At least she's real...let's survive this tournament one more time!" He said, smiling weakly.

"Each champion has to save the life of there beloved" Dellen said, as if on cue the victims all awoke screaming in agony as if there skin was on fire.

Three cauldrons materilaized on the floor before them with a fire lit and water boiling. "Each champion must brew a potion an antidote to cure each disease there beloved has.

As the screaming stopped it became evident that each one was grievously ill "Mr. Grimm has been poisoned with the venom of a acromantuala. All eyes were on Kronos as a large spider the size of a shed bit down on the boy's neck causing him to scream as he was poisoned.

The spider slipped back into the shadows as the wounds on his neck and shoulder bled slowly, they were large blackened holes that were rancid with infection, immediately he began to sweat.

"Ms. Grimm has been poisoned with a vampire bite." Dellen nodded to Amelia who stepped away from her students and with a devious smirk sunk her fangs into the girl's neck. Her venom seeped into the wound and the girl's pain was heard by all.

Stepping away from her the injury was revealed to have cracked her skin and leave blackened holes behind, she looked like she was dying as she slumped into the chair.

"And finally, Ms. Gaunt has been poisoned by the bite of a basilisk, seeing as none live..this will have to do" Dellen crossed the hall and stood before Marvolo, a basilisk fang in hand she said "this has been coated with the venom of a basilisk that lived a hundred years ago and basilisk venom grows even more deadly with age"

She thrust the fang into Marvolo's shoulder and left it there as her skin that could be seen through the tank top she wore cracked and bled a scream ripped through the hall.

"Now to add a little more fun, the champions have only thirty minutes to save there beloveds, while the clock is ticking on there lives the chokers around there necks will tighten significantly only saving them within the time frame will win you the day"

She sat down beside Amelia smirking at the wide eyed gazes of there students "We have permission from each of there head of families to kill them you know...this is truly a life or death situation...so good luck"

With that the race was one, numbers hovered over there champions to read out how much time was left and it was already counting down.

Champions, the objective is to save your captive, to summon ingredients simple speak clearly the ingredients you need and they shall appear like food does on the tables. You cannot help each other and each victim is in danger of dying. Use only your knowledge and wit to save them, you can only save them with potions no short cuts.

When an arm reached around him, he looked first at the hand on his shoulder and then at the one putting him arm around him. Cian managed a small grin at Sirius' words. He was right. Jocelyn was real, and that was what mattered. he nodded curtly at his proposal of surviving the tournament one last time. Once more and then it was all over.

Hearing the instructions, he set his jaw as he watched his own Headmistress bite his love. Quickly he began thinking of what he could make to stop the poison that would be coursing through her small body. This wasn't something that if he failed it was fine. He had to succeed, and he made damn sure that he knew that he would. This wasn't about him anymore. It was about her...

Luna stares at the surroundings and then looked ahead. Kronos. Her eyes harden and she glares at Dellen. "Are you fucking shitting me?!" She mutters to herself and she looks at Sirius and Cian talk for a little while. She stands slightly behind Sirius and her eyes survey her love at the front. All of the people at the front were loved by her greatly so watching her friends stare at them with wide eyes made her want to work more to help Kronos. She listens to Dellen whilst staring at her love unconscious. She bites her lip hard enough for a trail of blood to come down her chin, she wipes it and licks her lip only to bite it again as the giant spider bites Kronos. It stops her from screaming out. She unknowingly grabs Sirius' wrist as she stares at her love in great pain. Her face turns emotionless as her eyes show determination. She cracks her neck as she begins to think of how to save him. An antidote.

Sirius flinched as Kronos was bit by that spider. He hoped Luna was fast. Otherwise, Sirius would lose yet another person. As Jocelyn was bit by Amelia, Sirius glared at the headmistress, sighing. But as Dellen stabbed Marvolo with the fang, Sirius's rage erupted. His eyes turned dark, as he clenched his fists and his jaw. He set his hand on Cian's shoulder, trying to control himself. He started to breath, until he heard Dellen say Marvolo could die. Not again. Not losing you again... He said, his darkened eyes gazing at Marvolo in pain. "Good...luck!" He said, both to Cian and Luna as he made his way to his cauldron.

His clouded eyes turned lighter again, as he sighed. Looking at Marvolo, he narrowed his eyes. Can't let the poison spread...Something to stop it...c'mon Padfoot, think! THINK! He thought, as his eyes widened. Lovegood had said something strange about Erumpent horns having some kind of exploding fluid in them. "Erumpent horn..." Sirius said, as a gigantic HORN appeared next to him. Sirius picked it up slowly, and threw it to the ground, breaking it in several pieces. He could feel something trembling, as the fluid inside the horn started to boil, ready to explode.

He couldn't let that happen. Sirius grabbed a piece of the horn, as big as the fang that stabbed Marvolo, and went to her. A white fluid fell from it, and fell through her wound. "This is gonna hurt...but you can make it..." He muttered, stepping back, as a smaller explosion opened Marvolo's arm, making several veins be cut. The explosion seems to only affect Marvolo's arm, down from her shoulder. It was a very nasty wound, and blood was falling all over. Sirius kissed her lips quickly, before whispering "Hang on, you'll make it through," at her ear.

Veins and arteries laid on the floor, filled with the poison. Marvolo's arm was literally a mess. Her flesh was wide open, and it even vanished from certain parts of her arm. Sirius could even see a bit of her humerus bone. It wasn't a pretty sight, but she was strong. She'd wait for Sirius to find something. Sirius knew so. He seemed to act fast enough for the poison to not spread through the rest of Marvolo's body. But still, he was forgetting something. Several other explosions were heard, as Sirius nearly fell to the floor. The rest of the horn exploded, as a loud zing went through Sirius's ear. Squatting near his cauldron, he held his hand on his ears, looking at the timer. One minute and a half in already. Considering Sirius had made the poison stop spreading at least thirty seconds earlier, he could be in luck and be able to move forwards.

The Hall was able to withstand the small explosion easily, as not even the ground shook. Sirius looked back at Marvolo, nodding, before letting his mind go through everything he could think off. What could he do to heal her. Such a big wound, Sirius would need an entire cauldron to help Marvolo. He was in luck because he had just that. Though the potion that could heal Marvolo still hadn't come to his head...

Cian's mucles all tightened as he heard Jocelyn's scream of pain and swthe fear in her eyes. As the others were given their poison of sorts, he felt Sirius' hand on his shoulder. He looked at him, brown eyes hard and dark, "Good luck to you, too."
As he approached Jocelyn, him mind was raising. He took her hand and with the other tipped her head to the side to get a better look at the damage. The bite marks were not red at all, but black as pitch and around them already there were small black track marks from the poision beginning it's move through her blood. Come on, Cian!........ Think!........ You CAN'T lose her! Suddenly, it hit him. Before anything can be donw about the bite itself, he needed to rid her of the posion. Quickly he kissed her forehead and whispered to her, "I'm here.... You're going to be alright. Be strong for me, Lassy." He managed a smile for her and winked, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He let her hand go and knelt in front of his cauldron.

Cian took a calming breath and the called for fire seed, graphorn horn, billywig stings and chizpurfle carapaces. All the ingredients appeared before him and he set to work, counting out seeds. "Morter, pestle, cutting knife...." he said quietly. When the items appeared, he prepared each ingredient. Cian heated the liquid in the cauldron and when it reached the desired teperature, he threw in the fire seed, ground graphorn horn, and the chopped billywig stings. Slowly he stirred the mix first clockwise and then counter-clockwise as the instructions he remembered played in his mind. The liquid went bright purple, as it should when the next step was reached.

Carefully, he added the needed amount of chizpurfle carapaces. Now he had to wait. Cian looked at the timer and already he was minutes in. Come on..... Come on...... he urged the potion to brew faster. With the first bubble of a boil, Cian removed the heat and stirred the now blue potion until it reached a vibrant green. "Perfect. VIAL!" he shouted. Quickly, he picked up the vial and filled it.

Getting to his feet he moved behind Jocelyn and cupped her chin with his hand, holding her head to the side and to his chest. Getting right next to her ear he whispered, "Lassy, this is going to hurt, and I'm so sorry." He kissed her cheek and watched as he carefully poured a steady stream of the green liquid into each bite mark. When the bites filled to overflowing, he threw the vial down and held her while she screamed and writhed in his hold as the antidote did its job.

Jocelyn awoke and she felt the bite marks burn, she widened her eyes and screamed in pain, she couldn't move, she stopped her screaming, but the tears of pain streamed down her cheeks, she closed her eyes as she didn't want to look at the audience who were silently watching the champions being busy. Jocelyn didn't want to die not in a full hall with thousands of students and teachers watching.

Sirius walked around the cauldron, trying to rip a potion out of his mind. She has a wound, and I need to heal it. There's no potion simply called Woun-... Sirius's eyes widened, as he looked at the cauldron. It was already boiling, and he now had something in mind. He thought it was indeed a potion that existed. Lucky for him he actually decided to take potions. If James was in this situation, Sirius knew his friend would have way much more trouble.

The wound healing potion... Sirius thought yet again. Saying it out loud would just sound wrong. He still had his doubts, but he might as well begin. "Alright, first I need water...hmm, was it just two cups?" He scratched his chin, but picked up his pace. Marvolo was hurt, and he was scratching his chin thinking of what to do. "Let's make it three anyway. Three Cups of Water!" He exclaimed, as the cups appeared. "There was something else," He mused.

It was something about a bile. C'mon  Siri- Right! He reached a sudden moment of enlightenment. "A dash of armadillo bile," he said, as the new item hovered above him. He poured the cups of water and the bile on the cauldron, stepping back. He let the ingredients blend, hoping for the best. The potion seemed to be coming out in an acceptable manner so far, so Sirius bent his head. Watching the fluid in the cauldron mix, as he his mind raced through everything else he needed to do.

Watching Cian lay the potion on Jocelyn only made him work his mind even faster, as he brought his palms together for a clap. "Four diced slugs, Six crushed lacewing flies and..." Sirius closed his fists, bringing a hand to his head. There was another ingredient needed for the next step. One more, yet, Sirius's mind was seemingly blank. Basilisk Venom...cure. There's no cure for fu-...wait, the Phoenix tears. The next one has something to do with a Phoenix, I'm sure of it. "...a phoenix feather!" he said, smiling upon finally being reminded of what the mix needed.

Sirius threw the diced slugs in, one at a time, slowly letting the lacewing flies fall into the mix afterwards. As they started to blend as well, Sirius dropped the single feather in, as it was brought inside the mixing fluid. It kept boiling, bringing bubbles up, as the entire hall heard them pop. "Stirring Spoon!" He exclaimed yet again. Picking up the spoon he dove it in the mix, and started to stir. Once, twice, thrice, everytime he stirred, it was clockwise. Reaching the ninth stir, he started to stir counter clockwise, also doing it nine times. He smiled, pulling the spoon out of the cauldron, as the mix attained an emerald blue color.

Sirius was actually happy the potion wasn't a fiasco just yet. But he didn't feel like it was over. He remembered Sanguini said it took ten minutes for the potion to get a new color, yet, it turned blue instantly. There was definitely something off. What is it... He kept asking himself, as he felt a strange new scent pass by his nostrils. It smelled like...Lavender. "That's right, lavender oil!" He said, with audacity. A flask of lavender oil appeared, as Sirius grabbed it as fast as he could. He took its cork off, and dropped two drops of the liquid on the mixture.

Now, he had to wait those ten minutes. They'd make it. Marvolo was tough. Tougher than before. She wouldn't die like this again. Sirius wouldn't let it happen either. Squatting next to her chair, he let her arm stay still, simply kissing a part of her wound, not bothering if the blood came to his lips. Taking a strand of her hair, and putting it behind her ear, he whispered, "Ten minutes. Ten minutes and I'll save you!" His heart started to beat faster, as he hoped the ten minutes would pass soon. They were already six minutes in. Just ten more minutes and Marvolo would be safe. Ten more minutes...

Cian clenched his jaw and closed his eyes as he listened to Jocelyn's pained screams as the poison was destroyed. As she quieted, he felt her tears wet the hand that held her head. He took a look at her bit marks. Each hole was now blood read and the small black track marks were gone. The skin around them was also back to normal. He sighed with relief, one step done. Looking at the timer, he was only 6 minutes in. Quickly he thought of what he needed to do next. Sure he had destroyed the poison from the bite, but he wanted to be sure that there was nothing left to kill her.

Cian kissed Jocelyn's cheek and whispered, "Good job, Lassy. Hang in there...." He moved back to his cauldron, thinking quickly. "Clean cauldron, spring water, fresh garlic cloves, cutting knife, muslin compress...." he called and all the items appeared before him. Living where he did, Cian had grown up on stories are dark creatures and this was an old antidote for such bites that his mother taught him, and was retaught during his Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Cian lit a flame under the clean cauldron and poured two cups of water in tp slowly come to a simmer. While waiting on the water, he broke one of the large cloves of garlic appart causing a strong aroma of garlic to reach his nose. He peeled four sections and placed them in the water. Then, peeled four more and set to work mincing them with his knife. He glanced up and noticed he was now 9 minites in....

He kept his eye on the water in the cauldron and Jocelyn. It was critical that the water not boil as the slow simmer brought out the essence of the fresh garlic. "Spoon," Cian called and it appeared. He used it to scoop out the four cloves from the now gently simmering water. Placing them on the musiln compress in a zig zag, he used the bowl of the spoon to crush the hot cloves. With a small pop as each one burst, the smell of garlic grew stronger. The juices spread on the compress and once each one was crushed, Cian removed those four cloves and grabbed the minced cloves. Gently, with a calming breath, Cian spread the garlic evenly over the freshly extracted juice. Glancing up at Jocelyn, he said, "Hang in there, Jocelyn. Hang in there...." Once he had an even distribution of garlic in a 3x3 square, he picked up the compress and flipped the bottom fold over, sealing the garlic inside.

Without thinking of himself, he dunked his hand and compress into the simmering water and allowed the garlic essence to soak through. He set his teeth and winced as the water burned his hand, but he didn't care. It had to be done for her.... Once the compress was soaked through, he carefully wrung out the extra essence, making sure to not disturb the garlic enclosed in the middle. Getting up, he stood in front of Jocelyn and gently placed the compress on her two bite marks. Pressing down on it firmly, the essence began to soak into the marks. He kissed her forehead and ran his fingers through her dark hair. "This will stop any remaining toxin, Lassy. You're going to be fine. Stay with me, alright?" he spoke gently to her.

While holding the compress in place, he spoke over his shoulder, "Clean cauldron...."

Jocelyn nodded at Cian wincing slightly as she could feel the poison was out of her body she was still really scared and the choker around her neck was getting tighter with every minute. As he kissed her fore head and stroked her hair, she really wanted to just hold him and get all of it over and done. Jocelyn spoke to Cian softly. "The....choker....C...Cian."

Watching Cian work to save Jocelyn made Sirius be even more anxious. He looked kindly at the younger boy, as he tried his hardest to get save Jocelyn. No matter how much Sirius had done to Jocelyn in the past, she was just a kid. If she died, the school would be struck down once again. The students had gone through enough when Marvolo perished.

As he heard Jocelyn speak about her choker, he looked at Marvolo. Her choker was even tighter than before. We're at least ten minutes in! He thought narrowing his eyes. Tracing his index finger down Marvolo's injured arm, Sirius intertwined his fingers with hers slowly. "You'll make it." He said. 6 More minutes and the potion would be ready. Just six.

A lot of things went through Sirius's mind as he waited. Marvolo. James. Remus. Peter. Lily. Morgan. Strangely, even Regulus. Sirius searched for Regulus's body in the forest, but found nothing. His brother wasn't dead after all. That little brink of hope actually brought emotions back to Sirius, as he could forgive himself for what he did. If only Regulus forgave him too...

Snapping back into reality, Marvolo's choker was even more tight, as Sirius's eyes widened yet again. 16 minutes into the task, Sirius had his potion ready. Looking down at the cauldron, the potion had thickened, and it turned purple. The wound was too big for only one vial. Sirius put his hands on each side of the cauldron, pulling it up. Walking to Marvolo with it, he sighed.

"This will sting. A lot. But it'll work. Promise!" Sirius said, turning the cauldron upside down on Marvolo's wound, bringing it up and down her arm, until the fluid was completely out of the cauldron and it filled her wound. Smoke was seen coming out of Marvolo's arm, as Sirius swatted it away. As the smoke dispersed, Marvolo's arm was normal. Completely healed, as if nothing had happened. Of course, Marvolo would probably still feel the sting, but it wouldn't be there for long. "DONE!!!" He shouted, glaring at Dellen.

Andromeda sat next to James and Peter an watched intently as the trio of champions worked on the victims. Her composure was kept during most of the actions, but a few of Sirius' caused her to squirm. "Oh, goodness," she whispered as Marvolo's veins were being splashed onto the floor. Andromeda clenched onto James' arms to help calm herself from the horrific acts of mutilation.

When Sirius shouted that he was done, Andromeda released James' arms and rose to her feet. She dropped the tissue she was holding in her hand to applaud for Sirius' achievement. "Yes!" she said as she clapped for the preserved life of Marvolo.

The....choker....C...Cian.... Cian looked at the choker around his girlfriend's neck. Damn.... he thought to himself as he noticed it was tightening rapidly. He glanced at the clock, 13 minutes in with 17 left to go. Quickly, he kissed her forehead and said, "I know, Lassy......Keep clam.....I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.....Trust me." His eyes, dark with focus, locked onto hers and softened slightly. Cian....Get moving!

He went to the clean cauldron and thought carefully about this next potion. He knew he could make it but it had to be done right. "Three cups spring water," he said and as soon as it appeared, he poured it in the cauldron and lit a fire under it. "Mortar, pestle, fresh sprig of Dittany, spoon....." he called. Cian plucked the leaves from the fresh Dittany and placed them in his mortar and ground them to a fine powder. Checking the water, he found it simmering, and dumped with powder in. Using the spoon he began to stir slowly. Being as this potion was a rarer one to come by, he had to get it right in the first shot. Every fifth sir he made, he would switch directions for another five stirs.

Looking up as Jocelyn, he noticed the choker getting tighter. He reached out, taking her hand and held it as the Dittany steeped in the pure spring water. "I'm here, Jocelyn...... I'm here..... Soon..... I promise soon it will be-" he stopped mid sentence as he noticed the liquid in the cauldron was now a deep brown color. Remembering his books, Cian let go of her hand and removed the flames as Essence of Dittany should be brown in color. "Dropper!" he all but yelled. When it appeared, he sucked up some of the potion and went behind Jocelyn. He didn't need much if he got it right, and being that it was fresh, it was likely there would be no scaring at all.

Cian grabbed the compress and tossed it to where the collection of items he had been working with was in front of him. Then, taking Jocelyn's head in his free hand, held it against his chest. "Lassy, this is it. It's going to sting a wee bit, but it's all over...." he whispered quickly, and kissed her cheek. He watched as he carefully dripped three drops of the potion onto each of the two bite marks. Each drop healed the wounds until there was nothing remaining, not even a small shadow of where the marks had been. He touched where each wound had been for good measure, and saw that they were, in fact, completed healed. "DONE!" Cian yelled looking quickly at the clock and then fixing a glare on the Deputy Headmistress. 20 minutes had passed....

Luna nods at Cian and Sirius. She rushes to the cauldron and breathes deeply. Her mind began to race for any way to save her love. She looks at Kronos and kisses his forehead looking at the bite marks. She got a towel and pulled out her wand. ''Ice cold water.'' It filled a bowl and she wraps the towel around his forehead to cool him down. ''You're gonna be alright, love. I promise you that...'' The time was ticking and she rushed to the cauldron. Uncommon poison...right? ''Mortal and Pester.'' She grabs her ingredients, heating the cauldron and dropping in the fire seed, graphorn horn, billywig stings and chizpurfle carapaces and followed the instructions she remembered her sister telling her. 

It turned into a green and she places it in a vial, hearing Cian had done the same. She frowns. What else was there for her to do? The vial was big enough for the massive amount of potion she brew. She rushes up to Kronos and looks at him whilst he cried out in pain. ''Shush love..shush....It's gonna be alright..'' She puts her free hand into his mouth so when she pours the potion into the wound, he'd bite onto it. She pours it into the gaping hole of the bite, the wound didn't look as bad after she was done.

She kisses his cheek and moves her throbbing hand that had small cuts on it from his teeth marks and went back to cauldron. Come on Luna. Think as Aurora...Come on....She taps on the table, hearing Kronos cry out as the choker gets tighter. She glares at Dellen for a split second. Am i that stupid!? Spider equals common! Antidote for Common Poison! ''Bezoar! Unicorn Horn! Two mistletoe berries!'' She shouts clearly and puts the bezoar in the mortar, crushing it finely. She put the exact amount in the cauldron and then the standard ingredient. She follows the instructions remembering Aurora reciting it to her over the holidays. She puts a pinch of unicorn horn in and then the two mistletoe berries watching as it changed into a teal colour. She then frowned. This was too simple...something else...what was it...Aco....Aco....Aconite! Something was mixed with it...She looked at her skin and then bite back a smile. ''Aconite and boomslang skin!'' She mixes it together and places it in the cauldron watching as it steamed a little. She places a lot in another vial and rushes over to Kronos. She pours it on the wound and watches as the poison leaks out of the wound and onto the towel she had under it. She throws the towel in the bin and gets a wet one, wiping it clean around the edges.

Morgan sat next to Remus and the others, holding onto his arm as she watched the task unfold. First the mirror showing horrible things and now this?!?! As the time ticked away her grip got tighter and tighter on Remus' arm. Come on.....Come on.... she thought, mentally trying to motivate her friends.

As Sirius finished she looked at the clock, there was still time for Luna and Cian. A few minutes later, Cian finished. Come on, Luna...... she thought. She had time. If she just kept calm and focused... Luna could do this....

Luna breathed deeply. She had to think....Heal the wound, Luna. Her mind told her. Essence of Dittany, Luna. Her mind said again, robotic movements as she began to panic. 10 minutes and her mind decided to think of something else. Her father, the death of Marvolo and her coming back, her two near death experiences. She shook her out and growled loudly until her mind went to her private incident. She began to think of how Kronos could've been...NO. Things happen for a reason. NOW FOCUS LUNA! Tick tock, tick tock. Time was ticking and her mind decided to torture her. Her hand went to her stomach and she snapped out of it. She got to work.

''Three cups of Spring water! Dittany!'' She called out. She made a fine powder with the plant and placed it in the water that was on a medium heat. She stirred it perfectly and her eyes looked over at her lover, looking back at the potion she see's its the desired colour; brown. She poured some in a vial and rushed over to Kronos kneeling beside him. ''Dropper..'' She calls out and uses it to place small droplets of the liquid on his wound. She watches as the skin heals over and she stares at it with wide eyes. She touched it softly to see her eyes were not messing with her. She looks at Dellen with fiery eyes. ''DONE!'' She shouts.

Marvolo cried out in pain as the fang was thrust into her arm, the poison coursed through her veins burning her entire body. "S...sirus" she whimpered it hurt so badly, usually pain did not phase her but this was worse then something hell itself could put her through and her mortal body was weaker then her soul. As her veins exploded from her arm she screamed in pain and though the pain conquered her the burning that came with being poisoned started to stop. She gagged slightly as she felt the red chocker close in on her, slowly her air passages were closing up and with all the bleeding she was begining to feel cold and light headed.

She listened to his soothing words and smiled weakly, closing her eyes she felt like darkness was hovering right behind her mind, in the distance she heard his warnings of oncomming pain and then heat seared into her flesh causing a chocked cry as her arm healed.


Dellen watched each champion take on the task with fever, they had the right motivation of course, young love was strong. She noted with a pleased expression that Sirius finished first, followed by Cian then Luna.

Stepping down the stone steps she clapped her hands, the sound ringing in the silence "Well done champions" she purred. "We have judged your perfomance here today, and together with the minister, Mr. Crouch and other ministry officals whom have witnessed you all today we shall discuss who the winner is"

With a wave of her hand the shackles released each victim and the chokers fell off "The announcement will be made tomorrow...sleep tight"

As Cian dripped the liquid on the bite marks, she tightened the grip on the chair. Then she heard Cian said done and later she felt the choker fall off. She opened her eyes and looked at her brother as the tears streamed down her cheeks. He was still alive thank Merlin she thought. She closed her eyes again, she could not move, she stayed on the chair feeling exhausted, she wants to go away from the hall, thinking about going to her brothers grave to have some rest. As she calmed down she stood up slowly feeling her neck with her hand, their headmistress probably enjoyed biting her as she killed her brother. She looked at Cian and then to Luna, she hugged Luna first whispering. "Thank you for not letting my brother get killed, I wish you could have saved them all." She pulled out of the hug and hugged Cian burying her head in his neck and all the fear came out, she could only cry in his arms.

Luna stood there, still as a statue. She felt Jocelyn's arms wrap around her and heard her whispers. Her heart sank. Does she mean...Reaper and Dante? I would've if i could've, my little Jocy...I may not have known Reaper but my sister...loves him still. Always will..Despite Regulus. She thought to herself as her mind forced herself to hug back. She watched as she cried in Cian's arms and her mind went back to before she changed. She used to cry in her arms. Luna shook her head and stroked Kronos' cheek. She takes off the towel that was on his forehead and kisses him softly. ''Love....please...talk to me..'' She whispers, tears forming in her bright blue eyes.

When Luna completed her task, and the Deputy Headmistress announced that all three of them had completed the task, he relaxed, resting his head on his arm that was across the back of the chair. He didn't care who won at that moment in time. Cian was just glad to be done. When Jocelyn stirred in the chair, he looked up and watched her go first to Luna and hug her.

When she turned to come back to him, he stepped out from behind the chair and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. He kissed the top of her head, then her cheek, and whispered, "It's alright, Lassy. I would never let anything happen to you..." It was all he could say before he was holding a sobbing Jocelyn to him as if he would never let her go and Merlin help anyone who tried to take her from him. He gently stroked her long dark hair, and let her cry. Resting his cheek against her head he began to hum a tune his mother used to sing to him and his brothers when they were little and upset, hoping it would bring her some comfort.

Jocelyn heard Cian hum but that was exactly what she couldn't handle right now, she pulled out of his hug and looked at him. "I'm sorry Cian......i'm so sorry...." She sniffed as she stroked his cheek, she didn't want to hurt him but she needed a moment on her own. "I need some time alone, i'll be back when they announce the winner, i'm sorry." Jocelyn let him go and she walked from the stage and ran out of the great hall away from all the eyes.

Cian's brown eyes filled with confusion as Jocelyn pulled away from him and spoke her apologies to him. She was troubled, he could see that plain as day on her face. When she said she needed some time alone and left, he went to go after her. Cian jumped off the stage and took a few steps, but then stopped. She had said she needed some time alone. As much as he didn't want her to be alone right now, he needed to respect her wishes. You're a fool, Cian Dawson.... he thought to himself and ran through the doors of the Great Halls. Once outside, he looked up and down the hallway, but he was too late. Jocelyn had vanished.....

Cian, fall back and leaned against the wall, crossing one arm across his body and pinching the bridge of his nose with his free hand. It's over.... This tournament is all over.... Now they could move on with their lives.....
