Chapter 4: The First Task

Start from the beginning
                                        

When we were safely out of earshot I demanded, "why would you tell Diggory!?" He looked a bit put out. "Because he's the real hogwarts champion! He deserves to know!" Harry shot back, now mad.

It was getting closer and closer to the task. Me and Harry spent the next two weeks stuck together like glue. Me, Harry and Hermione, were brain storming ideas of how to get past the dragon. "I know! I know!" I shrieked, "Harry, you can use your broom!" "That's a great idea!" Hermione agreed, "yeah, but I can't bring anything with me, except my wand" Harry groaned. Me and Hermione exchanged glances. "Accio Firebolt!" I said waving my wand, a few second later, Harry's Firebolt slammed into my hands. "Brilliant" He said smiling softly.

Every night for the next month me, Harry and sometimes Hermione, would practice the Accio charm. Harry was getting pretty good with that charm, he could summon his broom almost every time he cast the spell.

"That was good!" I said, on one Wednesday evening, he had just cast the spell almost perfectly. "Ok I think that's enough for one night" he suggested shrugging, "yeah, your probably right" I chuckled.

"Good night Harry!" I yelled smiling at him from the other end of the corridor. I turned around and skipped happily to my common room.

"Y/n! Wake up!" A grumpy looking Hannah Abbott said. Frowning I said "but isn't it a sat- THE FIRST TASK!" I screamed jumping up so quickly that Hannah jumped back, "y/n calm down it's in a hour!" She stammered. I didn't care, I was thinking of Harry and only Harry.

As I pulled up my robes I tripped and fell flat on my face. 'What is it with me and falling!?' I thought standing up, rubbing my painful nose. "Y/n!" Hannah started, "I have to go!" I shot back, running out of the room.

"HARRY!" I roared sprinting to the great hall, I was running so fast that I had almost slipped on the smooth stone floor several times.

Harry looked around wildly, "HARRY! HARRY! HARRY!" I continued to scream all the way to the Gryffindor table. "Y/n I-" Harry tried to speak, but I was too quick I had already slammed into him hugging him as hard as I possibly could, tears were forming tears in my eyes.

Harry said nothing and hugged me back tightly. "I don't want you too get hurt" I mumbled, a little more to myself then too him.

It was already time for all the champions to meet with Ludo Bagman and get ready for the first task. "Oi! Harry!" I caught up with him after me and Hermione said goodbye, "yeah?" He asked knowingly. "Be carful out there" I frowned at him, "aw, does y/n loveee me" he mocked. I gasped and shoved him playfully, then ruffled his hair saying "you know that's one thing your not wrong about, I care about you." He gasped dramatically and cupped a hand over his mouth.

He disappeared out to the grounds.

The first task was starting, Cedric Diggory was the first one up. He wasn't the best but in the end he did end up with a big golden egg in his arms. He barely dodged the dragon's fiery breath about four times.

Next came Victor Krum. He did well, he attacked the dragon head on which Cedric had not done. And eventually he too, captured the plump golden egg from the nest

Then came Fluer Delecore, she had a very good sense of what she was doing. And like the last two, she held a glittering gold egg when she walked out the stadium.

My heart started beating faster and faster every second, 'the last person to compete would be-' "Harry Potter!" Ludo Bagmans's voice drowned out my thoughts.

A terrified looking Harry stumbled into the stadium. I felt a few tears form in my eyes, but wiped them quickly away forcing myself not to cry, oh Merlin I was scared. He got the most dangerous dragon there was in the group. Harry looked pearlized from fear, then the dragon let out a breath of green flame, Harry dodged it just in time, he looked up at me and I smiled weakly back, I mouthed the words "your broom!" He nodded back and got up, pointing his wand in the air, "Accio Firebolt!" He yelled. He stood there Waiting for his broom to come, and then out of the blue it came racing toward him.

He caught it and jumped on, it was a pretty cool move if you ask me.

He flew around in the air, the dragon followed. They flew so high and so far that they rounded the towers of the castle, we all watched intently. Then they came twisting back around the castle, flying lower and lower.

Harry landed swiftly and snatched the egg with ease, then rushed out of the stadium, still clutching his broom.

Harry got full marks by all the judges because of the fact that his performance was creative, smart and daring.

I shoved past quite a few people to get to Harry.

"HARRY! HARRY OVER HERE!" I shouted, flailing my arms wildly. He looked over, I sprinted as fast as I possibly could and attacked him with a bear sized hug.

Everyone was a bit nicer to Harry since he had done so good in the first task.

It was a clear breezy day and I was walking down the grounds when I spotted a smirking Malfoy and turned around strait back to the castle. I wasn't fast enough.

"Oi! L/n over here!" He sneered at me. "Think agin ferret boy!" I jeered back. "I was wondering whether you had a date to the Yule Ball yet?" He sniggered. "And what the bloody hell is that? Actually never mind I don't need to hear it from you! See ya sucker!" I laughed and walked away.

"What is the Yule Ball?" I muttered to myself thinking.

Few! For some reason that was hard to write. Lmk what you thought about this chapter, I'm trying to update a lot but it's rather hard to find time to write so please be patient with me!
