Default The FINAL CHAPTER! =o

ok, I give up waiting. Here's the final chapter of Fallen!
I guess all I can say is enjoy the final task and what comes after...
Poor Draco... -tear tear-

Chapter 36
Draco’s Final Task

The next two months slid by fast and it seemed to come too quickly to the end of the year. The Triwizard Champions were reminded of the Final Task approaching a week before May 29th, the day of the task. The reminder of the final task reminded Draco and Hermione of the fact it was almost the end of the year. What would they do after Hogwarts? How would they live with the fact they’re from two separate sections of the magical world? What would happen to them?
The days crept up to the 29th, and before they knew it, it was the Final Task. Hermione followed the crowd to the stadium on the day of the task. She was just about to enter when someone grabbed a hold of her and pulled her off to the side. Instinctively, she pulled out her wand and had it up defensively. She looked into the pale grey eyes of her supposed attacker and dropped her wand hand, putting her wand back into her pocket.
“Uh... good luck,” was all Hermione could get out.
“Thanks for getting my adrenalin rush of the day,” Draco responded. For a moment he thought Hermione was going to actually attack him.
“No problem, you’ll need to be running through that maze when...”
Draco stopped her rambling with a kiss. After a few moments, he unwillingly pulled away, knowing he’d have to run back to where he left soon.
“I’ll see you after this little task is over,” he told Hermione as he pushed away a few stray curly hairs from her face. He then left, running to where he should’ve been beforehand.
The quick encounter took Hermione back slightly, but she followed the remaining groups of students into the stadium. She found seats with Ginny and Ron, waiting for the Final Task to start.
“Hey you three.”
Ron quickly looked up to his left and was shocked.
“How’d you get in, Harry?” Ron asked in amazement.
“Well you see there’re these two openings called doors that lead into the stadium...”
Hermione chuckled; she missed Harry’s sarcasm. Harry sat down next to Ginny silently.
The champions then finally entered the stadium. Cheers and chants of the name of the champions they supported echoed throughout the stadium and the rest of the school grounds.
Professor McGonagall quickly turned and talked to the champions. She then turned around and faced the crowd.
“The first champion to find the Triwizard Cup shall become the next Triwizard Champion. This task may appear simplistic, but these three champions must find the location of the cup within the maze; only Mr. Lagerstorm knows the exact location of the Cup. At the sound of the...”
The cannon fired and the stadium shook with the impact
“Mr. Olivarez may enter first,” the Headmistress finished. Nate did as he was told and entered the maze. A few moments later, McGonagall continued. “Following the Durmstrang champion shall be Mr. Malfoy...”
Draco looked into the dark abyss of a maze. He stepped inside.
This isn’t too bad...
Crack! Crack! Crack....!
Draco ran; the maze was closing him in! He kept running through the hedges, not wanting to get stuck in the hedges of the maze forever. He then thought of an idea. Instead of going around the maze, he could go through it, not by getting caught...
Incendio.
A hole burned through the hedges. Draco smirked at what he had done. His smirked faded when the hole in the maze suddenly grew back; the hedge was hole-free again. Draco growled and tried again. He watched the hole get covered up again. He burned another hole and jumped through it quickly, just before it grew back again. He did this until he got to a path that he checked was heading north. He rounded a corner, went west, and then another turn going back north.
There it was. Gleaming in all of its blue beauty was the translucent Triwizard Cup. Draco’s eyes glimmered greedily for a moment, the thousand galleons, the eternal glory, all his. He started walking towards it when he heard the cracking of the maze; it was closing him in again, but front the end that led him to the cup!
Draco swore loudly and ran back the way he came. He walked around in a circle until he found another opening that led to the cup. He ran down the path again and got to the centre. He slowly walked up to the cup, ready to grab it. He kept walking forwards, closer and closer...

Music and screaming students’ voices blared in Draco’s ears. He took in his surroundings and realized where he was; back where he started. How had he gotten here? What happened?
Draco looked in his right hand and was shocked; he now held the Triwizard Cup.

The next few days passed in peacefulness. The Hogwarts students finally seemed to respect Draco; they finally accepted he was there and that he had changed. They also accepted his choices, which benefited Hermione. They openly walked through the halls together, commonly greeted by students.
Of course, not all the students favoured Draco because he had become the Triwizard Champion. Out of the few students that sought revenge, one specific student took it to the next extreme, waiting until the right moment to do so.
So on the 2nd-to-last day of school, Draco found a letter sitting on his perfectly-made bed. He picked it up and ripped it open, curious as to who it was from (it was anonymous on the envelope). His blissfulness was swept away the moment set eyes upon it.
Draco,
It has come to my attention you have been involved with a mudblood for the past year. How dare you do such a thing! Sullying your name and especially your family! Associating with mudbloods is one matter, but dating one behind my back is just disgraceful and disgusting!
You aren’t dead... yet. Get rid of her or I get rid of you and her. When you get home, there shall be serious consequences for this. Just because you won some stupid cup and champion title it doesn’t give you the right to neglect your duties.
Lucius


Yep, that is the end of Fallen.
What do you think will happen? Will Draco do as he wants? Will he follow orders? Will he get killed? Will Hermione get killed by Lucius? Will they escape together?
All will be revealed in Far Away, sequel to Fallen (I'm currently working on Chapter 2).
Post if you want to be on the PM list! (if this thread is in the Finished F.F section when you get to this, just PM me saying you wanna be on the list, but until then please don't PM me about it cause I'm starting to run out of room in my inbox and I don't have lots of time to empty it and there's still a box to post 'PM me when you put up Far Away!' or sumthin along those lines ) ~ Sarah
