Amelia watched Cedric step in the maze with a tight knot in her heart. What he said to her was something she couldnt believe till now. She got a feeling that something wrong was going to happen.

A cool breeze hit her and she shivered down bringing herself out of a trance she was left in.

"Amelia what are you doing there, come" Draco called her towards the stands. She slowly approached him having a heavy feeling in her heart.

"What were you doin-" Draco began frowning but she cut him off.

"I-I have to talk to Dumbledore! T-There is something wrong going to happen! I should talk to Dumbledore–" She started hypervantilating.

"Woah woah what happened? Are you alright?" Draco asked concerned.

"Draco I have to talk to him right now!" She said hastily and ran away.

She knew the headmaster must be with the minister and many others. She knew what she was going to tell him surely wouldnt make any sense. But the voice of her mother in her head interrupting her once in a while was telling thus was right.

She ran and looked around, and saw him standing on the higher stands. She didnt care what people thought today she had to tell him this. She climbed the stairs as fast as she could, he breathing was heavy, beads of sweat forming on her face.

"Ms. Black where are you going?" Mcgonnacal exclaimed stopping her from going further.

"Its- Its important professor– please call headmaster– its really important" She panted heavily. Mcgonnacal gave her a worried look before nodding and going to call Dumbledore.

She panicked how was she suppossed to tell him this? Would he even believe her? What would happen if he doesnt believe her and something wrong happens?

"Professor!" She breathed out and ran towards him as he came into sight.

"Yes Ms. Black?" He asked calmly. While Mcgonnacal was weary seeing the state of the girl in front of her.

"Professor– just stop this task!" Amelia said dismissively. Both the professor stared at her.

"What–"

"Just stop this task! Something wrong is going to happen– stop it right away!" She exclaimed frustrated.

"Ms. Black why would you say such a thing?" The calmness in his voice made her wanting to punch the shit out of him.

"Please Professor– I cannot explain this right now– but I am sure something wrong is going to happen and you will have to stop this task right now!" She said fiercely.

Both the professors exchanged glances and then turned to her. Her mind was already spinning and they were making it more frustrated.

"Dont you get it? Stop this task right now!–" She exclaimed angrily but was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Ms. Black you certainly should remember to not raise your voice at the headmaster" Her uncle stepped beside the professors swiftly.

"Wait Severus Ms. Black wants to say something" Dumbledore said calmly.

"I have already said! Just stop with this task right away!" She almost yelled before Sev angrily pulled her in the corner away from them.

"Arent you crossing your limits–" He hissed.

"For god's sake Sev this is not the time for teaching me manners! Something wrong is going to happen!" She exclaimed very frustrated.

"How do you know?" He asked in a low tone squinting his eyes at her.

Shit

She found herself at the loss of words. Now what to do? He will probably kill her already dead mother again and than her. If she told him about this, it will surely not be good. She had been hiding this since more than whole one year.

"I-I just know" She tried to reason.

"You just know" He repeated slowly examining her face.

She froze not knowing whether he was trying to read her mind. Because if he read her mind then it will all be finished.

"What are you doi-" She began stepping back.

"Who taught you occumelency?" He asked in a bitter tone. She stared at him. What was he even saying?

"I–who – no one taught me occumelency. How would I know!?–"

"Stop lying to me! Who. Taught. You. Occumelency?" He repeated again harshly.

"Sev what are you even saying!? No one taught me occumelency– I dont know how to block my mind–"

"Then why cant I see through your brain?" He asked sharply. She just stared at him. What?

"I swear I dont know anything. What the point right now is that this task should be stopped right away!" She said irritated.

"Why?" He asked monotone.

"I might tell you after it is stopped" she said glaring at him.

"Right now" He said dismissively.

"Piss off" She hissed wide eyed in anger and ran back to the headmaster.

"Are you going to stop this task or not!?" She demanded.

"On what grounds are you saying such a thing Ms. Black?" Mcgonnacal asked.

"I dont know how to explain this to you! Just stop it PLEASE!" She urged desperately.

"Sorry Ms. Black the task has been started and now it will only stop when we get a winner. Till then we expect you to enjoy with your friends" Dumbledore said with a smile.

I swear I will kill this old hag right now–

KILL HIM

Amelia froze when her mother's voice replied in her head. She just told her own daughter to kill someone. Really? Amelia stood frozen. Was she really going insane?

"I am telling you Dumble–" she began harshly but her dear uncle intervened again.

"This is the last and final warning. Go to your stands and stand there. Or you will be send inside the castle." Sev said bitterly, clearly irritated by her behavior towards the headmaster.

"Severus calm down. Let me talk to Ms. Black alone for a while" Dumbledore said. Amelia thanked heavens for this. The both professors beside the headmaster nodded and left.

"Yes Ms. Black–'

"You should stop the task tight now because something bad is going to happen for sure. Dont ask me how do I know this. I will find a better way to tell you this once the task is called off" She said hastily.

"We would be delighted to hear what you have to say Ms. Black. But I am afraid the task cannot be stopped" the headmaster said with a small smile.

"Why are you not understanding!? Will you be ever able to forgive yourself if something happens inside and you knew it was going to happen but you did nothing to stop it!" She exclaimed, her eyes brimming because of frustration.

"Ms. Black we are not allowed to play with the future. Whats supposed to happen shall happen no matter what" He said, his calm voice burning every cell in Amelia's body.

"You are selfish, insane, and manipulative. You'll be the only one to be blamed if anything happens inside because you could have stopped it but you didnt" She hissed, rage filling her body.

Dumbledore froze and saw her eyes turning slightly red, not because of fury, because of something magical. Before he could say anything she stormed off.

She sat beside her cousin, her heart speeding up wildly because of frustration, tension and fury. Only one face running in her mind continuously. She couldnt keep her breathing uniform as she was getting slight shocks again and again. The voice of her mother yelling something or the other again and again, making her head spin wildly, she wanted to throw up.

"Calm down. He'll be fine" Draco said quitely resting a hand on her knee to stop her leg from tapping continuously.

"I can't." She croaked her eyes fixed on the maze in front of them.

"You will probably think I am insane but–" She began but was interrupted by horrible screams coming from the maze. These were of Fleur. She heart trembled. It was happening. Something was happening.

The crowd gasped as the screams continued, suddenly a red spark was shot in the sky. Meaning Fleur gave up. Slowly Fleur's body could be seen coming out. Her friends rushed to help her up. She looked shook and injured. Amelia's heart lurched at the sight.

She got up quickly going towards the beauxbatons groups despite Draco trying to stop her.

"You silly girl, you should be ashamed, you are the first one to come out" Madame Maxime hissed to Fleur.

"You should be ashamed for being so heartless. She just escaped god knows what and all you care about is your big pride" Amelia hissed from behind her.

"I dont know when my school started having such shameless children" Madam Maxine hissed glancing between both Fleur and Amelia and left.

"Fleur! Are you alright?" Amelia quickly enveloped in a hug.

"I am alright" Fleur nodded wiping a few tears away.

"Stop crying, Fleur you did great!" Amelia daid pulling away.

"Yes Maxine's just a bitch, ignore her" Sophie said from behind.

"But what happened inside? Was everyone alright?" Amelia asked worried.

"I dont know. I saw Victor and he was acting wierd and then i dont remember anything" Fleur said shuddering. Amelia frowned worried. There was surely something going on inside. Amelia smiled at her and left to sit with her cousin.

"Shame she got out first–" Draco said snickering but cut himself off when Amelia passed him a harsh glare.

"Just keep quite until everything is over, or I might murder you" She muttered bitterly. Draco shrank back in his seat folding his arms.

As time passed, her anxiety grew more and more. The searing ache in her head not letting her breath. Her  chest heavily up and down with tension.

You should have stopped them Amelia

The voice in her head started again. She froze. Why was her mother
saying such things?

Amelia stood up as her eyes again fell on Dumbledore. But her mothers voice again stopped her from going forward.

Its too late now.

She let out a shuddered breath falling back on her seat. Everything was dead silent in the maze, no sound coming. Many people sat bored as nothing happened. But soon everyone jerked up as another figure stepped out of the maze. Victor Krum.

Amelia gasped seeing how dull and horrified he looked. His friends rushed towards him. Igor Karakroff, left mad at his student. Now it was more chaotic, only Harry and Cedric were left inside. Why were they taking so long? Amelia's pounding heart was not letting her rest.

Amelia winced as loud shrieks came again from the maze, her heart lurched as she recognised those screams were of Harry. She just hoped he was fine. But the bigger anxiety she had was about Cedric. Just on the thought of anything happening to him, made her throat go dry. She desperately prayed that he was fine no matter what.

"Why is it taking so long?" Amelia whispered to Draco worriedly.

"Maybe potter's dead" Draco muttered and Amelia passed him a deadly harsh glare.

"If anything good cannot come out of your mouth then you should stay quite" She said bitterly.

But soon her attention was drifted in front along with many others. The band of hogwarts started loudly. She exhaled in relief as two figures could be seen on the ground. Both Harry and Cedric.

They were back.

The crowd roared loudly. Amelia ran towards them at her full speed happily but froze on hearing Harry's yells.

"HE'S BACK! HE'S BACK! VOLDERMORT IS BACK.. CEDRIC.. HE ASKED ME TO BRING HIS BODY BACK"
