Chapter Four Krum in the third task

'Stupid spider. Why did I sign up for this stupid thing? I might be first, but it isn't worth losing my place on the Bulgarian Quidditch team for this. Is that a Sphinx?'

Krum cautiously approached the Sphinx and it said, "Well hello there sexy!"

This had totally shocked Krum and he could only reply, "What!?"

The Sphinx said, "I said hello you sexy man. Now, to go forward you will have to answer a question. Answer it correctly and you can pass, refuse to answer and I will let you leave the way you came, and answer it wrong and I will attack."

Krum thought about it for a moment and said, "What is the question?"

Oh, goody!" the question ,sexy is… How many fingers am I holding up?" said the Sphinx, looking Krum up and down hungrily.

"What!?" said Krum.

"I asked, how many fingers am I holding up?" replied the Sphinx.

Krum was silent for a long time, he couldn't decide what to do. Should he turn around and try another path? No, he was so close that he could feel it. He decided to answer. "Three?"

The Sphinx gave a lecherous smile and said, "I don't have fingers. I do have a tongue though. Come here you hunk of man meat." The Sphinx then lunged at Krum who gave a girly shriek and ran. A few moments later, red sparks could be seen and the professors arrived to the shocking sight of a Sphinx with its tongue down Krum's throat. As Krum was being led off, the Sphinx said, "Call me!"
