Triwizard Story (First Task): Before my eyes, I see the Common Welsh Green Dragon that I have to subdue in order to get the golden egg placed upon her other eggs so I can pass the task. This is still the first task but it seems like it's the hardest of all. I'm nervous to know what the other tasks are 'gonna be.
My first plan was just to simply summon my broomstick - a Firebolt 2012.
But it was also what the legendary Harry Potter did. I didn't want to be labeled as inoriginal, so naturally, I had my own plan.
I go to school in Durmstrang and am currently in my fourth year. Being the only champion led me to be the most popular student in the entire school. I hated it. But at least I had my father helping me cope with everything. He is the Defence Against The Dark Arts - DADA - teacher, and he taught me everything I needed to know - including the Dark Arts.
I also did my research and I came across a theory which stated that the native tongue of the snakes - Parseltongue - can also be used amongst any type of reptiles. I was fascinated. I wanted to try it. I may not have inherited the ability of my ancetors to speak Parseltongue naturally, but I know enough to speak to my dragon. I just wish I would also have the guts for it.
"Now, let us all welcome Ms. Gustavió from Durmstrang Institute and her opponent, a Common Welsh Green!"
Their cheers flooded my eardrums, but I didn't pay much attention to them once I saw my ferocious green-scaled dragon. It didn't see me yet.
I whistled. It looked at me. We had eye contact. I bowed. But I hadn't taken off my eyes from it. From hers. Smoke billowed from her nose, but she didn't harm me. Yet.
Parseltongue: "Oh great legendary beast from the east! I bow before you with a tale to tell." I didn't know if this dragon really came from East Wales, but it rhymed, so...
She opened her big mouth with sharp razor teeth showing off. For a second, I was scared it didn't work. 'Or maybe I said it wrong?', I added in my mind as an afterthought. I still didn't move a muscle in real life, though. But I did break a sweat.
She moved her large scaly legs towards me. I gulped. She bowed. My mouth hung lose. But I closed it again. It won't be any useful unless I could also breathe out fire.
"Young one, there was a prophecy about you."
"About me?"
"Didn't you hear me? Yes, about you," she roared.
It bowed no more. I slowly stood up straight - eyeing her.
"I'm sorry legendary Welsh from Wales, but I'm actually here to get a fake egg they hid between your eggs."
"They didn't dare."
I snorted, "you very well know that humans can be stupid - no matter how high they think of themselves, right?"
The dragon regarded me closely, then moved towards her nest of eggs. She sniffed them one by one until she reached the golden egg, then roared.
The ground shook a little while she charged forward towards me.
I wanted to move, but my muscles didn't work. Although, my sweat came pouring down at maximum speed.
When she reached me, she sniffed me. And then licked me. I tried not to look disgusted - at least she didn't eat me. Yet.
She lowered herself down as if wanting me to touch her. I moved my arms back and forth her scaly nose. But surprisingly, I didn't get wounded and I found out I enjoyed it until I gave a joyous laugh. I must look crazy in the eyes of the audience by now, but I didn't care.
She gave me the golden egg and I ran towards the exit - waving at her while she reminded me about a prophecy I didn't even know a single thing about, besides the knowledge it involved me. I'm in for a tough year - probably even tougher than this Triwizard Tournament.
I am Quaine Gustavió, and I have passed the First Task of the 2012 Triwizard Tournament.
A/N: Thanks for reading.
