Always (Draco x Reader)

4 (chapter 4)

"Champions, in a circle around me. Miss Delacour, over here. Mr. Krum. And, Miss Potter, Mr. Potter, over here. That's right. Now. Miss Delacour, if will. The Welsh Green. Mr. Krum. The Chinese Fireball. The Swedish Short-Snout" He says. I put my hand in the bag as he hands it out to me. I feel something small and pull my tiny dragon out. It is blue and green. My heart is going crazy but I try to calm myself like Draco told me to. Miss Potter, Peruvian Vipertooth and Finally Mr Potter...The Hungarian Horntail. These represent four very real dragons each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple: Collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg contains a clue without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions? Very well. Good luck, champions" Crouch steps back and Dumbledore walks over to Cedric.

"Mr. Diggory, at the sound of the cannon, you may..." He says.

"Good Luck Cedric" I tell him as the cannon goes and he smiles at me.

"You too" He says and walks out. Harry walks over to me.

"Y/N..." He tries. I hold my hand up.

"Not now" I say and go to sit down. The other two go and it's just Harry and I left.

"Three of our champions have now faced their dragons...and so each one of them will proceed to the next task. And now our fourth contestant" Dumbledore announces. I get up and the cannon goes. I walk out of the tent slowly and climb up onto a rock.

"Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!" The cheering says as I come into sight. I notice the egg straight away but I don't see the dragon. I edge around the rock and the dragon comes out of nowhere, it swipes its tail. It hits my stomach and I go flying.

"Shit!" I say in pain and get up. I look up and meet Malfoy's eyes.

"Come on Y/N! Use your wand!" Malfoy shouts down to me. I pull it out and run forward.

"Locomotor mortis!" I shout at its legs and stop moving. It freezes in its place but then realises it can still move its top half. Shit. I didn't think that through.

"Yes!" I hear the crowd scream. The dragon goes to breath fire, it opens its mouth and I roll behind a bolder quickly. When it stops I jump out and I point my wand higher.

"Stupefy!" I shout and the dragon falls down. I stop in shock. I did it.

"Run Y/N! Run!" I hear. I run forward and dive for the egg. I smile as my hands grasp it. I smile as I get up with it in my hands.

"Yesss! Y/N! Y/N!" The crowd cheers immensely. I sigh in relief as I'm escorted out of the court. Hermione comes running down and hugs me. I wince slightly and she pulls away.

"You did it! Are you okay?" She asks.

"Yeah I'm fine Hermione" I say smiling at her. She shakes her head in disbelief.

"When did you learn that spell?" She says. I shrug and laugh.

"Just now" I tell her. She rolls her eyes at me for not being prepared. I'm honestly surprised I'm not a bit of burnt toast.

"You're crazy!" She tells me shaking her head.

"I know" I say. Ron walks up behind her and nods.

"Well done" He says and I smile at him. I understand how he feels to be in Harry's shadow because I've grown up the same.

"Thank you" I say. He shuffles away with Hermione uncomfortably. I look back up to see Malfoy standing there with a smirk.

"Told you so, Potterette," He says. I nod and shake my head looking down at the egg. Still shocked that I actually got it.
