Severus entered the room after Minerva. With Longbottom as a champion, he had his worries now. He entered to see the students in a variety of different emotions. Some were cocky and others were nervous and then there was Neville who looked almost ill. As much as Severus did not like the boy, he did not want any of the students dying this time around. He could only too well picture Longbottom plunging from a cliff on the mountains...
He sighed now. "Alright," he said in a low tone. "You all know that what lies before you could very well be glory but lets not forget what happened a few short years ago. Your first task will be the first of next month." He looked at Minerva silently for a moment. He had an idea that she worried about the same things he did. "Your first task will take place on the mountains." He paused to let this sink in and then glanced at Neville when he spoke again.
"You will not be permitted to bring your wand to the task. You will find a away to get up the mountain on your own. On the first peak, there will be one four person tent and a large canister of water. You will need to work together as a team to find food and cook it and survive on the mountain till the next dawn without magic."
He waited again and then finished. "You will be judged by your ability and by the first champion down in the morning." There would be a staff member on the cliff with them though they would not be aware of the presence. "Now off to bed." Severus turned now and with a nod to Minerva, he left.
