Excitement fills the frigid winter air as the start of the Third Task looms near.
Did you bring a heavy winter coat or cloak? Did you remember to wear your thick House scarf, a pair of mittens and even a hat to keep your head warm? Did you remember to bring loud noise-making devices and banners to hoist in the air?
Cheering on the champions might keep you warm, but once they've entered the strange circular maze, there isn't much else to do than wait and hope that whatever the champions are facing isn't as bad as what you're imagining.
The snow-topped hedges are impenetrable, both to sight and to sound. A black wall just beyond the few flickering torches that fill the starting area with uncertain light, they are moving slightly in the wintry breeze and rustling faintly. As there is nothing to see, there is nothing to hear.
NOTHING.
And which is worse? Complete silence that leaves the champions to an uncertain fate – or loud noises of a struggle? But there is one lingering doubt hidden in the back of your mind that you and no one else dares to speak - will this be the task where red wand sparks will light up the sky because a champion is in serious distress and will they make it out . . . alive?
While waiting for the first champion to emerge from the maze, there is not much else to do than sit tight, stay warm, say a few cheers, do the wave, and catch up on the latest gossip.
"Merci, Brielle." He muttered back as he hugged her close, feeling quite defeated. Third? It was better than nothing he supposed.
Brielle had been expecting the look, that only for a moment flashed across Noel's face. He had done so well, but still it was hard to be happy when you had lost.
Slipping her hand into Noel's, Brielle squeezed his, just to let him know she was there for him, then withdrew it quickly. Cosette was there after all, and she didn't want to spoil what those two had going on......infact Brielle more than approved, she was planning on whispering in Noel's ear later. "You better take Cozette Mon ami!"

"Merci…" he murmured, lowering his hand listening to the talk about the costume ball. He had no idea what he’d be. Or if he was even going. Perhaps sleep through it? But, that would be exceptionally rude, and…well bugger. He had to go then.
Then again, that meant dancing lessons with Cosette? The last times they have hung out, they were distracted one way or another. But, would she dance with a third place champion? Hmmm...

It was true. Monique looked great in everything. It was so hard deciding what one thing to wear.
"That is a very good question." she said thoughtfully. "Perhaps it would be considered rude if we were to dance with just one person..." she thought out loud. Yes, that was a very fitting excuse for she had no idea who would ask her.
If there was someone Brielle could talk for hours to about outfits, it was Monique!
"I only wizh zey 'ad given uz more information!" Brielle nodded, "Coztume Ball yes, but is it Animal inzpired, under ze zea? Native Drezz? WHAT?!" Brielle was covered for all eventualities, but still some further guidance would allow her to be the best she could be!
"I 'ave no idea who I zhall allow to take moi" Brielle eyed the crowd, she wanted to be on the arm of the best looking boy at the Ball, but He was going with Cosette, so the next best would have to do........now where was GlitterPuff?

"Good. Because it is true." she said. "Plus, who else gets to walk back to the castle with beautiful French girls?" she asked tossing her hair. Oh yeah. She and Brielle were perfect for boosting male egos.

What was this? "Beautiful French girlz?" he asked, raising his brows in surprise. He was joking, obviously, but the combination of nerves, relief, and disappointment just made him feel weird. He needed some humor!! "Where are zey?"
Hehehehe...run away! "Juzt kidding! I will be honored to walk back to ze castle with you." All of them. All three of them. Oui?
"'EY!" Brielle cried, as Noels words drew her from her thoughts, "Well Perhapz ze three Beautiful French Girls, will 'ave to ezcourt someone else back to ze castle!" She played, prodding Noel gently on the arm, whilst winking at Cosette, "Come on Girlz!"
Jokes!

Pursing her lips, she broke into a smile. "Oui, I would love to join you at ze caztle." Standing up on her toes, she cupped her hand against his ear and whispered, "We ztill need to 'ave zo danzing lezzonz, oui?" Smiling, she removed her hand and linked it with his.
A look in Cosette's eye spoke volumes to Brielle, this two needed to get together and work out a plan to get Noel, to ask the Former Beauxbaton girl, one would think that would be commonsense! But Brielle had found Noel to be a tad shy, when it came to girls he really liked!
Brielle, match-maker extraordinaire! Now all she had to do, was find her own match!
Yo Brielle, Fletcher will take ALL ze foreign lady champions to ze ball, oui oui. ;)

Duncan Fletcher.
Duncan Fletcher.... his buddy, GlitterPuff Extraordinare Duncan Fletcher?
How many other DuncanDonut Fletcher does he know?
The whoop from the crowd was deafening, but to Salander it was like a distant echo. Finally it hits him He won.....
HE WON!!!
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! Salander hooted belatedly, clapping and giving the celebratory whistle like its nobody's business. Congratulations Fletcher! TriWizard Champion HOOO-AHHH!!!
First he had been choked and now he was going deaf?! Fletcher's ear drums were nearly blown out by Salander's a-hooting and a-hollering but ya know what? He had nothing negative to say about it all. Because Sal was right -- he HAD won!
"THANKS MATE!" he tried to shout back. "I GUESS I OWE YOU A FIREWHISKEY???!"
Fair's fair!

She wanted to jump up and hug her best friend again. However he needed to talk with the Headmaster. So he went and bear hugged his other best guy friend. "HE DID IT!!!!!!!" Rae screamed whilst totally bear hugging Sal. "I sure hope you found out how to get that firewhiskey by now... We are going to celebrate!" No really, Sal better have found out how to get that Firewhiskey. Rae didn't want to get it.
Fletcher turned from his position near the Headmaster to grin at Rae pouncing on Salander. Haha. Bout time he got bear hugged too.

All she knew was Fletcher had won the Triwizard tournament. "YESSS!" she yelled, and ran as fast as she could down out of the stands which turned out to be a big mistake. Her foot slipped on the last step, and she fell on the ground. "Oooff" she would have been concerned, if this didn't happen all of the time. Quickly, she examined herself for injuries. Her ankle was a little sore, and her hands hurt from the impact with the ground, but that was all.
She stood back up, and headed over the Fletcher, THE Hufflepuff Champion. Forgetting the fact that she didn't even know him, she ran hobbled up to him, and wrapped her arms around his waist, and gave him the hug that only a little girl can give. She let him go, and looked up at him. "You did it!" she said grinning. "Your alive and you WON!"
Fletch was just turning to glance up at the stands for any other girlfriends of his that might have been watching when lo and behold, he was tackled at the waist. It was an adorable firstie, nonetheless. Aww haha.
"I did do it!" He agreed with an equal grin and a little hug back. "Thank you! I know!!!" CRAZY, wasn't it?! He lowered his voice a little in case the girl was hurt from that little fall there. "Are you okay, by the way, after tripping down those stairs?" Just asking, cuz she was a fellow Puff and Puffs took care of Puffs!

If she was a man she'd puff her chest out, and do one of those man nods.
But she wasn't, and she DID have glitter. Hehe!
And then Headmaster Tate was speaking, and people were silent for a moment, and then.... JAWS WERE DROPPING! And people were squealingand attacking a certain puff.
"Immature people'" Couldnt they atleast have waited for HER?! She did have a badge, thank you very much.
Within moments of the announcement, she'd left her seat and was BOUNDING through people with several 'Excuse ME's and a few 'Move it's. Soon enough she was near enough to Fletcher!Puff, and she just GRINNED.
Then might have broke into a bit of a run and jumped at him. Whoopsie? Hehe. Never mind the other people who were clinging to him. SHE, was Lori Bristol. And she was a PUFF! And she totes had claimage over this WINNER!
"Darnit. Forgot the glitter. Oh. Nevermind. YAY FLETCER!" Not like it was in anybody's ear or nothing.
WHOA another tackling. Fletcher had to manuever the firstie!Puff out of the way to catch (harhar pun intended) the greeting of their Prefect. He hugged her back cuz she was hawwwwt, duh and nodded happily.
"Er..... thank you, Lor....i?" That was her name, right? Not Lauraliliac? He sure hoped so. "Darn, no glittering." WHEW THAT WAS OKAY, actually. Maybe she'd just forget all about the glitter... junk. Grossssss.

Fletcher could tell that Professor Lafay did not look pleased. Maybe it was the scowl and slitted eyes that clued him in?
Nonetheless.... "Thank you, madam," he nodded respectfully toward the potioneer.
SPOILER!!: MELANIE!!!!!!!

Exhilarated by the amount of noise in the stands and the feeling of knowing, for sure, that all three students had emerged alive, Melanie rose eagerly to her feet and clapped herself blue in the face, grinning like an idiot and a happy idiot at that.
Then her eyes turned to Headmaster Tate, listening, quite attentively, as he announced the results of the task, after a few sentimental words for the champions. The anticipation was nearly killing her...
And then he said it.
Melanie's jaw might have dropped a little, but she still wore a toothy grin on her face. "Fletcher WON!" State the obvious. Check. Melanie spotted Fletcher in the stands and didn't waste any time walking down to where he was standing, a bit of a skip in her step. And for a good reason too!
Aww.
He looked so happy... waving and blowing kisses and whatnot. Melanie stood a few feet from him, idly at first, watching as a (few?) Hufflepuff girls came up and hugged him. Now that she was down there, she wasn't exactly sure what to do...
...But that was silly. Rather than standing there like a dummy, Melanie stepped forward to speak to the champion. "Congrats, Fletcher! You did awesome, from what I saw and I was... I was hoping you would win." She smiled softly, continuing. "And you're okay too." Yaaaaay, no deaths!
Yaaaaaaay Melanie!!!! After the crazy treehouse incident and plotting to mess with Myrtle and the whole broken-face healing thing, Melanie was clearly one of Fletcher's favorite people. He was very, very glad to see her standing there looking awkward.
"Thank you!!! I'm... I'm glad you were supported me. Means a lot." He paused to nod seriously and then opened his free arm for a hug. PWEEZ. "Now don't be a stranger!" SHOW ME SOME LUVVV. Er. "You're one of my best friends!"
*BEAM*
Was it odd that most of Fletcher's 'best friends' were girls? Nawww... he had Sal and LiL Lockhart for bros. He was good.
SPOILER!!: #1 FANBOY

Either way, no one was telling him who'd won, he was just seeing the Champions there and totally resisting the urge to go an congratulate Fletcher for not dying on his House. And him.
He was going to complain about the time it was taking the judges to announce Fletcher as the winner but then...
Oh my Gilderoy! Headmaster was speaking! Speaking he was! The boy rolled his eyes, why did he have to talk about the 12 people who entered, that was no important!
Treyen tried to listen to the unimportant part of the story speech, until...
...blink, blink, blink.
The boy literally stopped breathing.
Sir Fletcher?
Perhaps a very small part of him believed him not to win, and that's why he wasn't reacting to the news just yet, perhaps he half-expected someone else to win, instead of Sir Awesome. Yes, he supported Fletcher, but that didn't necessarily mean that he expected him to win...confusing much?
A few minutes, which seemed like hours to the boy, passed by and he was still seating in the exact same position he was when the Headmaster announced the most amazing news ever! Why was he still seating...and possibly having the most confused expression ever instead of at least yell some congratulations back to their Champion? YES! Their Champion, because Fletcher was a Hufflepuff.
...blink, blink.
A smile was slowly making an appearance in the boy's face as he finally took in the news. Fletcher was now a Tri-Wizard Champion. That's as awesome as he could get.
At least this year.
Without even telling Arya that he'll be back, the boy ran away from where he stood and up to wherever Fletcher was.
A beaming Lockhart made his way to Sir Awesome and stood right in front of him. Who cared if Headmaster Tate was somewhere near the Champion? He was NO Champion, therefore, Treyen had no interest in speaking to him. Right now.
But...he was speechless. Treyen couldn't speak. Like, literally. He was only smiling, and he could only think that this is probably how he'll look when placed in front of his all-time hero, Gilderoy Lockhart. Except, this was no Gilderoy Lockhart, it was only Fletcher, but close enough.
"Champion" was all he could muster, while holding a wide smile on his face.
Hogwarts Hufflepuff had won. And all thanks to Fletcher. The boy who was no Diggory. Ha.
Oh, lookit! There was Melanie! But he had no eyes for the girl, yet, he wanted to see THE trophy. Because there was a trophy, no?
"Treyen," Fletcher grinned from admist his hug!pile of girls and man-nodded toward his fanboy. "Sup. Didja hear the news?"
Duh he had to have. Just look at him. He was awestruck by Fletcher's Glitterpuff Hufflejock Triwizard Champion Glory.

Di's eyes lit up. No, not for Fletcher. For Hogwarts. All three champions had done a magnificent job, she had to give them that, but the fact that Hogwarts had won, made her feel fantastic.
"Congratulations once again," she called out, softly. "All three of you."
They had all done marvellously.
"Thanks again!" Fletcher responded for his part toward the Runes professor. Ah, runes. Who knew the things that rhymed with prunes could have been so useful??
__________________
yeah, there's one thing about me that you should know________________________________ __________________________________________that I can't help from speaking my mind
But yea, she couldn't agree with Di more one one account; the tournament was over at last! And they had a costume ball to look forward to . . . which wasn't all that exciting, considering she didn't dress up . . . much.
Hug? What? "Oh Di!" Fina sighed, wrapping one arm around her friend. "Anyway, I'm going to head back to the castle now... Maybe be a little social. I'll see you later!" She winked at the Runes Professor and then disappeared off from the stands and after the Potions mistress and Librarian.

Half hug? Surprise, surprise. Di returned it [bigger surprise!] before giving Fina a little nod. "I'll be there in a moment, too," she said. "There's something I think I should..."
Oh, but Fina had gone. Di frooowned.
Well, she might as well follow now.
Giving the Hogwarts Champion a final nod, Di picked up her handbag, rose to her feet and left the stands and all the cheering.
Fletch was just turning to glance up at the stands for any other girlfriends of his that might have been watching when lo and behold, he was tackled at the waist. It was an adorable firstie, nonetheless. Aww haha.
"I did do it!" He agreed with an equal grin and a little hug back. "Thank you! I know!!!" CRAZY, wasn't it?! He lowered his voice a little in case the girl was hurt from that little fall there. "Are you okay, by the way, after tripping down those stairs?" Just asking, cuz she was a fellow Puff and Puffs took care of Puffs!
"yay," Emmaleigh thought as Fletcher returned her hug. apparently, He wasn't totally freaked about being hugged by a stranger. "This is just so cool!" she said happily. When he mentioned her falling down the stairs, Em's cheeks turned the same fiery red as her hair. "Yeah, I'm fine, my ankle is just a little sore." she said before admitting, " but, It um, happens alot." She gave a small smile. In her eyes, Fletcher was more than THE Champion, he was a hero. After the first task, she watched him carry all the injured champions to the healer, and now, he was concerned about her.
Cosette had been standing next to Noel, a smile on her face and her arm intwined with his. She smiled, seeing Brielle and Monique flock to his side. When she looked up, she heard the headmaster dishing out the results! With her fingers pressing into her palms, she looked at Noel. No matter what he was still a champion to her. And... it was Fletcher! Her mouth only slightly agape, she clapped loud for her friend. Even though Noel hadn't one, at least Fletcher had. She would have to buy him a gift when she went back to Hogsmeade.
"Noel," she smiled, pressing a kiss to his hands, which she placed in hers. "You are ztill my champion." Her smile never faltered as she looked at him with those gray eyes. She was so proud of him regardless of his rank. Her ears did peak up though. A ball? "Ze ball? We are 'aving one after all?" She clapped her hands together with delight. "Well, I need to find a drezz and a zuitor, pronto." She laughed, giving Brielle a wink. Maybe she could help with getting Noel to ask her, possibly? Wait.. didn't she and him have an arrangement if there was a ball? Pursing her lips, she broke into a smile. "Oui, I would love to join you at ze caztle." Standing up on her toes, she cupped her hand against his ear and whispered, "We ztill need to 'ave zo danzing lezzonz, oui?" Smiling, she removed her hand and linked it with his.
Feeling her lips against his hands, Noel looked down to her, the smile reappearing on his lips. It made him feel better of course; though there was still that doubt nudging him in the back of his mind that he was just being…pitied? Ridiculous thought, there was no doubt about that. Thoughts that came with a life of wanting perfection.
"Merci…mon cher." He murmured, holding her hand and bending down a little to place a small kiss to the top of her hand. Quick and sweet though as he had to straighten up at the mention of the ball again. She needed…she needed to find a suitor?
Well, that wasn’t quite the reaction he was hoping for. Keeping up the smile, Noel cleared his throat, glancing over to Brielle for a moment. Out of instinct, he bent down a little for Cosette to reach his ears. Hehe, of course. "Oui, we do. Whenever you want. I suppoze, we were diztracted ze last time?" he whispered back, a hint of a smirk evident on his lips before looking back to the others, it flashing back to a normal charming smile.

Jokes!
Having felt a hand in his free one for only a split moment, Noel smiled and just managed to squeeze the hand back before it disappeared. Brielle’s of course.
"I am joking, mon ami!" Laughing, he gestured for her to stay. "I would only be a royal fool if I did not accept." Grinning, he shook his head before glancing up to the castle. It would be nice to go back up there though. Looking back to the others, his friends and the other champions, Noel waited for a moment before gesturing his head towards the castle.
"Zo, would you like to go up? Or, congratulate ze ozers firzt." Of course, the question was asked to all three of them. Ladies choice of course.
"Treyen," Fletcher grinned from admist his hug!pile of girls and man-nodded toward his fanboy. "Sup. Didja hear the news?"
Duh he had to have. Just look at him. He was awestruck by Fletcher's Glitterpuff Hufflejock Triwizard Champion Glory.
Beaming, he was. And also, speechless still.
The boy nodded and nodded even more. Of course he's heard the news! Everyone had! If there was someone who didn't hear the news about the most awesome Champion Hufflepuff ever had (yeah, he was leaving Cedric out of this) then it means that they weren't even in the Stands or didn't care about the Tournament.
Even Melanie heard the news. Odd Silent Lockhart. Really. Though, it looked like he was the Silent one now.
"It was BRILLIANT!" aha, that was all he said, and of course he was referring to how Sir Fletcher did in the task (from what the Stands people could see). No wonder he'd won.

Haha look the firstie was turning red now! Color change color change! Fletcher was so amused by the lilness of the Puff... and her opinion. 'So cool!' He was considered 'cool' by children! WHEEE.
"You should maybe get that checked out," he mentioned, glancing down at her ankle. "Or try being more careful." Though you know, he was a big strong Triwizard Champion and he could always easily carry the girl to the Nurse if need be.

Well well wasn't Treyen the articulate one tonight. Fletcher was still laughing inwardly at his number one fanboy's face.
"That's only 'cauze I'M brilliant," Fletcher agreed egotistically. "Just sayin. Really though, wasn't that task crazy?! Did you guys get to see the giant cockatrice? It was real, Treyen, it was REAL and it was HUUUUGE and yet we managed to kill it off!"

Was it odd that most of Fletcher's 'best friends' were girls? Nawww... he had Sal and LiL Lockhart for bros. He was good.
"Nahh, don't think anything of it." She waved her hand to dismiss his thanks, a big grin playing on her lips. Her face flushed a little, when Fletcher told her not to be a stranger and then, turned an even rosier color as he said she was one of his best friends. "Awww! Really?" Of course she hugged him, after that, possibly with a little too much exuberance.
"You're one of my best friends too, Fletcher." she informed him matter-oh-factually, clinging to him for a moment or two. It wasn't like Melanie to say it bluntly like that, but it was true. Fletcher and her had been through quite a bit. And by the sounds of it he had been through quite a bit in the tournament! She listened in as he told Treyen (ZOMG, Treyen! She hadn't talked to him in ages!) about it, eyes widening considerably. She must have missed the cockatrice... You had to have admiration for a dude, facing a creature like that. Yikes.
What was this? "Beautiful French girlz?" he asked, raising his brows in surprise. He was joking, obviously, but the combination of nerves, relief, and disappointment just made him feel weird. He needed some humor!! "Where are zey?"
Hehehehe...run away! "Juzt kidding! I will be honored to walk back to ze castle with you." All of them. All three of them. Oui?
Monique laughed. Oh silly Noel. The triwizard tournament must have knocked him silly. Just Monique forgave him for his awful joke. It was lucky they were such good friends.

Monique nodded. She agreed. It was hard enough to prepare for a ball on one's own, but she had to find a date and then coordinate outfits.
And yes, coordinating outfits was VERY important, despite what those who are single may say.
"I am very interested in who you allow the honor of escorting you." she said happily to Brielle. She half expected Noel and Brielle to go together, but they had both made new friends, so maybe they wouldn't go with each other.

Monique didn't want to deal with a handsome frozen man. Yes, they must get him back inside.
