First Task
Harry was very nervous. He looked at his dragon. She was waiting for him to just try and steal her eggs. Her eyes promised pain and mutilation.
'The hell with it', Thought Harry and rouse his wand intending to summon his Firebolt. Then sudden thought struck him. 'Could it be?' He mused to himself.
"Accio golden egg!" He shouted while pointing his wand to the common direction of the dragon nest.
Large golden egg flew right into his outstretched arm. Harry was glad that the task appeared to be much easier than he anticipated. It was really strange although.
It was only after some moments of his musings when Harry felt something was wrong. The stadium was silent. No, the whole stadium was soundless. Harry glanced at the dragon. Hungarian Horntail looked pensive for an unknown reason. Then he glanced at the seats. Audience looked abashed. Jaws were hanging and eyes were goggled.
"What?" Asked Harry incredulously. "Did you really expect me to fight the dragon? Or may be divert its attention and try to grab the egg from the nest? You know, even if I'm only in my fourth year, I am not that stupid! It's just ridiculous!"
Cedric, Victor and Fleur suddenly felt very, very bad.
For the same unknown reason dragon looked smug. Who knows what dragons think…?
A/N: Have you ever felt stupid when after hours of thinking over some problem you've realized that solution had been right under your nose all the time and not only that, it had been very simple? The thought like that come to my mind every time I read fanfic based on fourth year actually. Even if egg was charmed to be unsusceptible to summoning charms it was really dull not to try. And do it four times.
