On the farthest side of maze a large black dog peered around carefully until he was certain that nobody was watching. Assured, the canine wriggled under the canopy of the hedge. He emerged panting on the other side. He looked both ways down the dark path, sniffed the air, and picked a direction.
~o0o~
“Oh, good, Parvati, Luna, you made it,” Hermione whispered as she whirled around to hug the other two cat-witches, tugging off the invisibility cloak and stashing it in her sweatshirt. Hermione's dilated pupils, like those of the other two cat-witches, glowed in the wandlight.
“And zere are Viktor and Cedric,” Fleur breathed a sigh of relief. Once the team was assembled, they slipped into the next ring of the maze.
“Right,” said Harry, taking the lead as his wand spun in the palm of his hand and shimmied to a stop, “The Goblet is supposed to be in the centre, and according to my wand, we should head this direction.”
Everyone murmured their assent and warily, the seven young wizards stole deeper into the maze.
The hedge came alive with a rush of wind as they passed into the third ring and the entrance closed behind them. Fleur uttered a small scream as tendrils and branches seized her and lashed out at Cedric, whipping around his ankles. Viktor dodged just in time.
“Relashio,” Harry shouted to little effect as his heart thudded.
“Lumos Solem,” Hermione squealed. Her wand light flared and pierced the darkness. The bushes trembled, releasing Fleur and Cedric.
“Devil’s Snare...” Hermione gasped, “Or rather, a hybrid form of it. Thank goodness it still reacted to the...”
Hermione was cut off by a skittering sound, and the group of wizards immediately took position in formation, backs to each other and wands out, as they had planned ahead of time. The sound was coming from several directions. Luna’s cat-eyes were the first to spot one of the skrewts scuttling towards them while it was still in shadow.
“Aim for the underbellies...” Harry yelled as several more emerged from the darkness.
Cedric and Viktor panicked and fired stunners at the one hurtling towards them, but the red bolts of lightning glanced off its shell. Harry waited until the one approaching him reared and he slashed his wand at its underside. The sectumsempra opened a long gash and the skrewt’s entrails spilled out as it shrieked and expired.
Fleur shot a firebolt from her hands at the one approaching from her side. The skrewt shrugged it off and kept coming. It reared its tail to sting and briefly exposed its undercarriage as it lifted its front pincers, she shot another burst of plasma, hotter than before. It hit the belly and the skrewt exploded.
Viktor got himself back under control and slashed his wand, as Harry had taught him, at the Skrewt lunging at Cedric. He gasped in relief when sectumsempra worked and severed one of the Skrewt's legs. He whipped his wand several more times; the limbless Skrewt screeched, shooting a burst of flame as Cedric rolled backwards and slashed at its underside with the cutting curse. The Hufflepuff staggered to his feet in satisfaction as the crablike monster shuddered and died.
“Lookout...” Parvati shouted as a mist settled over the Hufflepuff.
Cedric screamed in agony as his skin blistered and burned, erupting in boils. Parvati and Luna lunged for Cedric’s feet as he collapsed and dragged him away from the mist. Hermione twirled her wand.
“Ventus Maximus,” she cried.
A vortex of air burst from Hermione's wand and swept the mist away. Harry fell beside Cedric and pulled a bezoar out of his pouch; shoving it into the Hufflepuff’s foaming mouth. Cedric’s shaking gradually eased, and his rolling eyes cleared. The bezoar had stopped the Poison Mist from killing Cedric, but it was clear that he was too badly injured to continue. A stinking pus oozed from his blisters and boils.
Harry grabbed Cedric’s wand and fired the Golden Sparks into the night sky which gave a professor permission to apparate through the wards to retrieve the fallen student. Hermione and the cat-witches darted into the shadows as Professor Sprout apparated to Cedric’s side.
“Thank you three for staying with him... You truly embody the spirit of Champions,” the Professor gasped as she held her pupil and disapparated.
“We’d better get a move-on,” Harry groaned.
After several wrong turns, the young wizards finally discovered the entrance of the fourth ring. The six of them jogged down the paths until they spied the entrance to the fifth ring ahead. Hermione discerned the dark shadowy figures of numerous enormous spiders in the blackness before they emerged into the wandlight.
Harry knew this was bad; dozens of Acromantulas surrounded them. Stunners worked, but there were too many. He fired a bombarda maxima killing seven of them and scattering many others. Fleur’s fireballs took out eight. Viktor slashed his wand angrily and six acromantulas collapsed, screaming.
Hermione, Luna, and Parvati took out countless more with reductos and bombardas. The rest finally scattered.
“Keep your eyes peeled. They’ll probably regroup,” Harry gasped, his heart pounding, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The entrance of the fifth ring closed behind them, trapping the champions and their companions with the Chimaera. The creature pounced, opening it’s lion-like maw and a burst of flame poured forth. The wizards all dispersed and Viktor went down when the beast’s dragon tail slammed into the side of his skull, knocking him to the ground.
Luna was closest to him, her fluffy white tail quivering in fright. Thankfully Viktor was still breathing. Luna dragged Viktor into the bushes and fired his wand. Karkaroff appeared seconds later, grabbing Viktor and Luna both when he saw the others fighting the Chimaera.
“Thank you for protecting Viktor. You are very brave, but you cannot stay,” the Durmstrang headmaster stated firmly. “It is too dangerous.” Luna struggled to get back to her other friends, but Karkaroff vanished with both students in his clutches.
Hermione and Parvati drew the Chimaera’s attention while Harry and Fleur circled behind the monster. As it lunged towards the two cat-witches, The two remaining champions whipped their wands. The Chimaera roared in agony as it fell apart at the seams, blood and viscera spilling onto the ground.
The four of them had barely stumbled into the sixth ring, out of breath and shaking, when the Gorgon attacked, hissing and slithering. Its massive tail whipped against Fleur’s legs and she fell screaming as they broke. The Gorgon was shocked that the humans had survived its gaze and it lunged at Hermione.
Hermione shot a reducto, but the spell had no effect on the creature and every serpent on its head opened its mouth in laughter as it cackled.
Tears streamed down Parvati’s cheeks. Her satiny black tail curled around Fleur protectively and she wailed as she shot Fleur’s wand into the night sky. Parvati didn’t resist when Madam Maxime swept her and Fleur both into her arms and disapparated.
As the Gorgon bore down again on Hermione, Harry’s head throbbed, and his stomach tightened painfully in rage. He steadied himself and utilised the spell which had thus far been one of the most effective.
With one clean swipe of his wand, the Gorgon’s head parted from its body and flew, tumbling, its mouth agape in a silent shriek, serpents flailing. The torso and tail of the Gorgon thrashed and writhed violently for nearly a full minute, spraying blood everywhere from its gaping neck, before it gave one final twitch and stilled forever.
Trembling in fear and anger, Harry ran over and embraced his wife who was shaking and crying, covered in the Gorgon’s blood. They held each other silently, kneeling in the slick stained grass, and both slowly began to calm. But Hermione’s breath quickened again as she sensed Acromantulas approaching once more.
“We’ve got to go Harry,” she gasped, pulling him to his feet. Hermione’s bushy tail, sticky with blood, whisked in agitation.
Together, they ran down the paths breathing heavily until they found the aisle which led to the centre of the maze. They groaned to see another skrewt in their path and twenty Acromantulas swarming behind them. Hermione fired a bombarda maxima at the arachnids while Harry slashed his wand at the Skrewt.
The Skrewt’s limbs separated from its body. Harry fired a reducto at its belly when it flipped on its back. Harry whirled around and joined his wife in firing bombardas until every enormous spider had been blown to smithereens. Without waiting to see if more would be coming they ran towards the centre of the maze which was bathed in the pale blue light of the goblet’s flames.
As the gap in the hedge closed behind them, Harry sighed wearily in recognition of the Manticore guarding the goblet. The enormous human-like head grinned as its lion body paced and scorpion tail unfurled. Harry slashed his wand but the creature was too fast.
“Foolish boy, you didn’t think the Minister would save the least for last did you?” the beast laughed, as it circled the two young wizards. Furiously, Harry whipped his wand several more times while Hermione fired reductos. The Manticore dodged every spell.
Harry’s blood turned to ice in his veins when the creature laughed again.
“Hahahahahahaha... I am the King in this Realm. My power is no longer bound by magical oath. The Dark Witch freed me to do as I will. All she asked for in return was your death. A simple...”
The Manticore's taunts were interrupted by a ferocious outburst of barking as a large black dog lunged at the monster.
“Sirius... NO!” Hermione screamed, furry ears flattening in terror as the beast’s fangs sank into Sirius’s neck.
But the distraction was all that Harry needed. In a blaze of fury, Harry whipped and slashed his wand until the manticore was a bloody pile of flesh. Padfoot choked on his own blood as the two young wizards fell at his side.
“SIRIUS! Please... don’t die,” Harry broke, hot tears streaking the dirt and blood on his cheeks. Harry bent ever Sirius and sobbed.
Slowly, with careful deliberation, Padfoot morphed back into human form, the punctures in his neck shrinking.
“What? Sirius...” Harry gasped.
“It’s alright,” Sirius coughed and spat out some more blood as Harry tearfully looked on in disbelief. “I’ll be fine. It’s very difficult, but for animagi, it is possible to heal an injury from one form when transforming into the other...”
Harry sighed happily as relief flooded through him. Sirius was going to live. But something still wasn’t quite right. The first thing that Harry noticed was Sirius’s breath clouding, then he felt the bitter chill in the air and the grass whitened as ice crystals crept along the blades.
“Dementors!” Harry whispered as the tears on his cheeks froze. He should have known that the Minister would have a fallback plan.
The three of them looked up at the dark cloudy sky and their faces dropped. There had to be more than 200 wraiths drifting towards them, silhouetted against the quarter-moon.
Harry looked at his wife and took her hand, a flood of emotion filling him, the memories of the last playful encounter with their lovers vivid in their minds and hearts. Harry grinned, knowing that it wasn’t over, that the Minister wasn’t going to win this way. Hermione smiled back, furry ears twitching happily, cracking the frozen blood on her face.
Together they raised their wands and shouted the incantation.
“EXPECTO PATRONUM!”
The White Etheric Lion and Lioness sprang forth and flew into the midst of the Dementors as pulses of Blinding Magic lit up the Night Sky.
The first pulse of light stunned the Dementors; the second pulse trapped them, frozen in its matrix. The Dementors quavered and vibrated when the third pulse enveloped him. The fourth pulse hit them and all of the Dementors shattered; the shards falling like black hail on the wizards in the clearing at the centre of the maze.
Sirius was shocked beyond measure as the pieces of black ice struck the ground around them and melted.
~o0o~
Wards be damned! He would destroy them all to get to his students before the Dementors did, even if he had to kill Bagman and the Triwizard Commission Members to do it. Dumbledore hauled Bagman sputtering to his feet and pressed the point of his wand to the whimpering wizard’s temple while Percy Weasley cowered in his seat.
“Release the wards now...” the Headmaster uttered softly, dangerously.
“Look...” shouted one of the onlookers. The Headmaster’s jaw dropped as he peered out over the maze.
“Something’s happening...”
“What is it?”
The crowd began to murmur in astonishment and a thrill swept through them when the sky lit up explosively four times in succession as a pair of ghostly white creatures spiraled up through the swarm of Dementors. When it was finished, all that remained was a precipitation glittering in the sliver of moonlight peeking from behind the clouds.
The Headmaster let Bagman collapse at his feet as warmth filled him. Albus realised that he had just witnessed not only the most powerful patronus charms in modern history, but quite likely the source of the magical power surges in Hogwarts.
Quite simply, it was unheard of for a normal patronus to actually destroy Dementors.
