"Sure thing," Jake whispered out, his face as red as a tomato. "I'll just stand right here... go ahead and do whatever you want," he said, almost slurring his words.

Meanwhile, back in the spectator stands, a certain Satan, who had been spectating the whole event from the upper stand so far, was grinding her teeth in absolute anger at the fact that Jake's first kiss had just been stolen by that annoying Veela, and that she had dared to use her allure against him!

Serafall knew Jake was a teenage boy, so of course, seduction was going to work against him!

Meanwhile, back at the end of the maze, Jake was standing there, his mind still addled, as he watched Fleur saunter on over towards the cup to claim victory.

"She's absolutely incredible and beautiful and she deserves it," he thought to himself.

As the magic from Fleur's allure was coursing through Jake, something that he hadn't experienced since his time in the forest with Serafall was occurring in his body.

His innate ability, his bloodline inherited from Solomon, was judging this allure to be a bloodline ability and a magical attack that was targeting his whole being. It started to break down the magic and absorb its properties into Jake's body.

Slowly, Jake's daze faded away as his bloodline ability broke down the allure's magic, absorbing it into his being, granting him innate resistance to it and the ability to use it himself! When his head finally cleared, Jake realized all of this.

"Woah," he said to himself out loud. "I'd heard about a female Veela's allure being extremely effective, but I didn't think it would be that strong. It seems like once again, I've been saved due to my bloodline.

And oh crap, she's almost at the cup!" Jake shouted to himself, realizing in that small span where he was borderline mind-controlled by love, she was about to win the tournament right in front of him, probably making him look like a fool to everyone watching.

Knowing that he wasn't going to catch her on foot as she was mere feet away from the cup, Jake deployed his devil wings and rocketed himself forward, flying as fast as possible to try and reach the cup at the same time as her.

"You're not winning that easily," he yelled out, causing Fleur to turn around and gape at him in shock, as within the span of a few seconds, he was already right on top of her.

Neither of them wanted to lose, and both of them reached for the cup as fast as possible! Each of their hands grabbing onto one side of it.

"Damn it, did we just tie?" Jake yelled out loud.

Suddenly, the world around Fleur and Jake spun rapidly as they clung to the cup desperately, being flung through space itself!

Jake found himself disoriented from his first experience with a portkey. The world spinning every which way around him for like a minute straight wasn't pleasant. He looked over at Fleur, and she looked the same.

"Where are we?" she asked, looking around the spooky graveyard they'd found themselves flung to. Jake just shrugged at her. He had no idea either. Maybe this was a continuation of the third task, he thought to himself.

"No, this is one creepy-ass graveyard," Jake commented out loud, to which she just nodded along.

"Indeed," she replied. "Maybe the cup at the end wasn't the end of the task itself. Maybe this graveyard is the true final challenge that we have to navigate, or something like that?

" She questioned out loud, a fair assessment for their situation. Neither of them knew that the cup had been tampered with to send them here on purpose…

Meanwhile, back in the spectator stands, everybody was cheering in excitement when they saw that Jake and Fleur had actually tied in a photo finish!

The scrying spell had shown everyone that they had been whisked away by the cup that had been a portkey, so everyone was waiting in anticipation for them to appear at the winners' stand right in front of them.

However, something wasn't right. Even after a full minute, Jake and Fleur never showed up!

"Something isn't right," McGonagall said to Dumbledore. "That portkey should have taken them right here once they touched it, so that the task would end."

"I don't know what's going on, Minerva. That cup was supposed to be enchanted by the best. Professor Moody himself was the one who did it. He wanted to make sure there was no tampering this time."

McGonagall looked around. "And where is Moody, anyway? I haven't seen him in the stands during this whole task, now that I think about it."

Albus wondered that himself, feeling a strange sense of foreboding.

Up in the spectator stands, Serafall let out a sad sigh. That was truly it, she thought to herself. The last time she'd see Jake for a while… She heard footsteps to her right and spotted Jake's newest peerage member, Luna, giving her a sad smile.

"It'll be alright, Luna said. "This is the way it was always meant to be. Jake is a hero, you know, and this was just the start of his journey." Serafall just gave her a sad nod in response.

She'd been in contact with Luna for a while now, ever since she had found out that Luna was a seer.

The two devil girls embraced in a gentle hug, both of them had slight tears in their eyes at the fact that they wouldn't be seeing Jake again for a while….

"So, do you know what's going to happen to Jake in the future?" Serafall asked Luna. Luna just shook her head.

"As I've told you before, every time I use my gift to try to see Jake's future, the next time I use it, it becomes slightly more difficult. It's as if his magic somehow knows that I've been spying on him, and it's been adapting and making it harder for me to see.

This was one of the last events that I could truly see clearly," Luna said with a sigh. She figured it was better this way, anyway. After all, nobody likes spoilers.
