Silent Love (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 43

Harry, Hagrid and I are walking through a dark forest
 
“Did you bring your father’s cloak like I asked you?” asked Hagrid
 
“Yeah, I brough the cloak,” said Harry
 
“Hagrid where are we going?” I asked
 
“You’ll see soon enough. Pay attention this is important,” said Hagrid
 
“What’s with the flower?” I pointed at flower in Hagrid’s coat
 
“Hagrid have you combed your hair?” asked Harry
 
Hagrid is looking more dapper than usual and he’s carrying a big red flower
 
“As a matter of fact I have. You might like to try the same thing now and again,” said Hagrid
 
We hear animal noises. Someone calls out Hagrid
 
“Is that Madam Maxime?” I asked
 
“Hagrid,” said Madam Maxime
 
“Oh, the cloak. Put the cloak on,” said Hagrid
 
We do as he’s told
 
“Bonjour Olympe,” said Hagrid
 
“Oh Hagrid. I though you weren’t coming, I thought perhaps.. you had.. forgotten me,” said Madam Maxime
 
 
“Couldn’t forget you Olympe,” said Hagrid
 
“What is it you want to show me? When we spoke earlier you sounded so exhilirated,” said Madam Maxime
 
“You’ll be glad you came. Trust me,” said Hagrid
 
They walk first, we follow behind them
 
“So, we’re on their date now?” I asked
 
“Yeah,” Harry said. “It’s kinda disgust me.”
 
“I think it’s kinda cute that Hagrid is dating someone. I mean not every woman has interested in Hagrid for thing long time,” I said
 
Harry looks at me weirdly
 
“What?” I asked
 
Suddenly a dragon nearby gives a loud roar
 
“Ahh, c’est magnifique!” said Madam Maxime. “Can we get closer?”
 
Harry and I open the cloak
 
“Dragons? That’s the first task? You’re joking.” Said Harry
 
“Come on Harry. They’re seriously misunderstood creatures,” said Hagrid
 
“Misunderstood? Hagrid, they breath fire,” I said
 
A huge flame fires up
 
“Altough I have to admit that horntail is a right nasty piece of work. Poor Ron nearly fainted just seeing him you know,” said Hagrid
 
“Ron was here?” I asked
 
“Oh sure. His brother Charlie helped bring him over from Romania. Didn’t Ron tell you that?” asked Hagrid
 
“No he didn’t. He didn’t tell me a thing,” said Harry

Now, we try to find Cedric. Despite the fact that he’s Harry’s competition. He has the right to know what the first task gonna be. Madam Maxime will tell Fleur. We saw Karkaroff yesterday, so I assume that he’ll tell Krum.  And on our way there, we see people wearing badges and I see the words Potter Stinks.
 
“Don’t worry about it,” said Harry when he realizes my concerned look
 
“Cedric rules!” said one of the boy I think he’s from Slytherin
 
“Thanks,” said Harry
 
“Like the badge?” asked Pansy
 
“Excuse us...” I said
 
“Did Potter and his little girlfriend want to pass through?” said Pancy
 
“She’s not my girl..” said Harry. Harry looks at me
 
“Don’t worry about it,” I said the same thing as he said before. “Technically I’m your friend and I’m a girl.” Harry laughed
 
Then we approaches Cedric who is standing around with his friends. Cedric’s friends hurl off more insults
 
“Can I have a word?” asked Harry
 
“Alright,” said Cedric
 
We walk away to more quite place
 
“Dragons. That’s the first task. They’ve got one for each of us,” said Harry
 
“Are you serious? And Fleur and Krum, do they...?” asked Cedric
 
“Yes,” I said
 
“Right. Hey listen, about the badges, I’ve asked them to not to wear them,” said Cedric
 
“Don’t worry about it,” said Harry
 
Then we’re walking along. We see Ron and Seamus. Harry approaches them
 
“You’re a right foul git you know that?” said Harry
 
“You think so?” asked Ron
 
“I know so,” said Harry
 
“Anything else?” asked Ron
 
“Yeah, stay away from me,” said Harry
 
“Fine,” said Ron and walked away
 
“Do you really want this fight going to go on forever?”  I asked. “You’ve been bestfriend from 3 years and now it just goes away.” Harry just rolls his eyes
 
Draco calls out, he’s sitting up a tree
 
“Why so tense Potter? My father and I have a bet you see. I don’t think you’re gonna last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagress. He thinks you won’t last five,” said Draco
 
“I don’t give damn what you or your father thinks Malfoy. He’s vile and cruel, and you’re just pathetic,” said Harry
 
“I agree with him,” I said
 
We walk away and and Malfoy suddenly turns into a ferret
 
“I’ll teach you to cast when someone’s back is turned, and just want to hurt a girl,” said Moody
 
Then McGonagall comes
 
“Professor Moody, what are you doing?” she asked
 
“Teaching,” said Moody
 
“Is that a student?” asked McGonagall
 
“Technically it’s a ferret,” said Moody
 
Moody is making the ferret hover around. He sends it up the trouser leg of one of Draco’s friend. He squirms and looks uncomfortable. Everyone else is laughting. Moody winks to Harry and he laughs. Eventually it comes back out and McGonagall turns Draco back to normal
 
“My father will hear about this!” said Draco
 
“Is it the only thing he can do?” I asked
 
“Is that a threat,” said Moody
 
Draco runs away. Mad eye shouts after him
 
“I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair boy! It doesn’t end here!” said Moody
 
“We never use transfiguration as a punishment, surely Dumbledore told you that,” said McGonagall
 
“He might’ve mentioned it,” said Moody
 
“Well you will do well to remember it,” said McGonagall
 
McGonagall orders the crowd to go away
 
“Come with me,” said Moody to Harry and me
We enter Moody’s office
 
Moody takes off his prosthetic leg and takes a seat. I see some glass in his room and it just very interesting to me
 
“That’s a foal glass. Let’s me keep an eye on my enemies. If I can see the whites of their eyes they’re standing right behind me,” said Moody
 
A noise emerges from a trunk on the floor and it shakes
 
“What is that?” I asked
 
“Wouldn’t even bother telling you what’s in there. You wouldn’t believe it if I did. Now... what are you going to do about your dragon?” asked Moody. How did he know? I think
 
“Oh.. um.. You know I just thought I’d..” said Moody
 
“Sit. Listen to me Potter. Your pal Diggory, by your age he could take a whistle into a watch and have it sing you the time. Miss Delacour, she’s as much as fairy princess as I am. As for Krum, his head may be filled with sawdust but Karkaroff is not. They’ll have a strategy, and you can bet that it’ll play to Krum’s strenghths. Hm? Come one Potter. What are you strengths?” asked Moody
 
“Um. I don’t know,” said Harry
 
“You’re good at flying,” I said
 
“Yeah, I mean I’m a fair flyer,” said Harry
 
“Better than fair the way I heard it,” said Moody
 
“But I’m not allowed a broom,” said Harry
 
“You’re allowed a wand,” said Moody
 
Harry looks at then strangely
 

“An accio spell,” I whispered. Moody smiles to me.
