It happened after dinner.
Ron Weasley had dark circles under his eyes, shaky hands, and a wand stained with scorch marks.Weeks of reading cursed books and failing spells had destroyed his mind.
He stormed into the courtyard where Roy was reading under a tree.
The girls were nearby, chatting.
Ron's voice cracked with rage:
Ron:"YOU THINK YOU'RE SO GREAT, DON'T YOU?!"
Everyone turned.
Hermione stepped forward."Ron, stop, you're acting weird—"
Ron:"SHUT UP! He stole everything!The fame! The attention! Even the bloody tournament!Harry got stronger because of him!Fleur is always around him!And everyone keeps talking about Roy! Roy! Roy!"**
His eyes were bloodshot.
He pointed his wand at Roy with shaking hands.
Ron:"DUEL ME! RIGHT NOW! I'll show everyone I'm not weak!"
The entire courtyard fell silent.
The girls moved in front of Roy, instantly protective.
Daphne:"Pathetic."
Fleur:"You are not even in the same universe as him."
Hermione:"Ron, please—he'll kill you by accident—"
But Roy stood up slowly.
Calm.
Expression unreadable.
Roy:"I accept."
Gasps filled the courtyard.
⚡ The Duel (If You Can Call It That)
Ron fired immediately—
"INCENDIO MAXIMA!"
A huge wave of fire rushed at Roy.
Students screamed.
Teachers in nearby corridors ran.
But Roy didn't even raise his wand.
He simply whispered:
"Flame… vanish."
And the fire dissolved like smoke.
Ron fired again—
"STUPEFY!""BOMBARD!""CRUC—"
His wand exploded in his hand before he could finish the last curse.
Ron screamed, falling backward.
He looked up in terror.
Roy hadn't moved a single inch.
Not one.
Roy walked toward him, aura heavy and cold—like a god descending.
Ron trembled uncontrollably.
Roy:"Listen carefully, Ron.Your problem isn't me.It's your jealousy.That is why you're weak."*
Ron tried crawling away.
Roy leaned down and whispered:
"If you ever aim dark magic at my friends again…you won't get a second warning."
Ron fainted on the spot.
The courtyard erupted:
"HE DIDN'T EVEN CAST A SINGLE SPELL!""RON GOT DESTROYED!""Roy is a monster—in a good way!"
McGonagall dragged Ron away for interrogation.The girls scolded Roy for accepting the duel…
…but also hugged him out of relief.
🌑 Third Task — The Maze Feels Roy's Aura
The day arrived.
Night sky.Torches lit.A massive hedge maze towering like a living monster.
Champions lined up:
• Fleur (calm, confident, thanks to Roy)• Camille• Krum• Ivan• Harry• Ron (shaky, magically monitored, wand replaced)
Roy stood in the stands with the girls, but—
Something strange happened.
The moment Roy's aura stirred, the Maze…
shivered.
Hedges rustled violently.Roots moved.Branches trembled.
The maze recognized a predator.
Students whispered:
"Why is the Maze reacting…?""It's like it's scared…"
Dumbledore side-eyed Roy, both amused and wary.
🌬 When Harry entered the Maze… Roy's Training Activated
Harry's movement was fast, precise, nothing like the old him.
He dodged traps.Countered creatures.Disarmed hexes.
Every professor watching:
"Impossible… that's advanced-level combat."
Fleur moved with burning elegance, slicing vines with fire-imbued blades Roy taught her.
Even Krum stared at her in shock.
🌿 The Maze Starts Avoiding Roy's Favorites
The Maze moved its walls to avoid Fleur.It shifted obstacles away from Harry.It threw everything at Ron and Ivan, as if trying to kill them.
Dumbledore whispered to McGonagall:
"…The Maze can sense the Dark Phoenix bloodline.It's terrified."
McGonagall responded:
"For the first time, I pity a hedge."
🌩 Final Moment Before the Portkey Trap
Harry and Fleur were both nearing the center—
The cup was glowing.
Roy frowned.
He felt Voldemort's magic.
His expression darkened.
Roy:"…The resurrection ritual starts tonight."
Hermione:"Roy…?"
Roy stood up.
Power flaring.
Roy:"I'm going to the center. Harry isn't going alone this time."
And Hogwarts held its breath.
