Chapter 3
"Ah, Harrison, just in time." Count Dracula said. "Of course, Father. You know I would never be late for you." Dracula smiled and said "Yes, I know. Now, report on the situation." Harrison explained what he had accomplished so far, leaving nothing out. Dracula leaned back in his chair thoughtfully at the end of it, pondering what he had been told. "You say that Dumbledore was protective of his precious Chosen One? That could be useful. That room with the enchanted objects was a good find. Come, it is time to make sure you have kept up with your training." Hasrrison nodded and followed his Father out of the room.
Harrison dodged away from the fire ball that came blasting his way. He fired back a burst of blood-red lightning in retaliation. "Good, you have definately kept up with your Elemental Magic training. That was a quite efficient use of your element." Dracula commented while leaning away from the burst of lightning only enough for it to miss. He kept up the offense by firing 4 fire balls, 2 from each hand. Harrison weaved his way through them, conjuring and throwing a knife at the same time.
Dracula caught the knife by the handle and transfigured it into a mass of needles. He then banished them in Harrison's direction, which Harrison avoided. Harrison fired off another burst of lightning while using his other hand to throw another knife, hoping it would be unnoticed from behind the lightning. Dracula dodged the lightning and caught this knife too. He transfigured it into a lion and sent it after Harrison. Harrison destroyed it with a bolt of lightning fired at its head.
It exploded, leaving the lion bleeding from the neck on the ground. Dracula used the distraction to fire off two spells, both of which Harrison dodged. He counter attacked by firing a dark bone breaker curse. Dracula dodged it and it exploded, destroying the area of the wall it hit. Dracula sent back a confringo, a dark flame curse that explodes on impact. Harrison countered with a shield. The confringo hit the shield and exploded, eliminating both spells. Harrison fired back a intestine rotting curse that Dracula evaded while sending back a dark cutting curse. All of this happened within the span of 30 seconds.
The fight lasted another 5 minutes before Dracula decided that Harrison had been practicing enough. It was a conclusion made to a Harrison on the ground with two broken bones, 6 gashes in various places, and an flesh melting acid lingering on his calve. Dracula didn't have a single scratch. Dracula had ended the fight by blasting Harrison off his feet with a well placed 'reducto' that knocked Harrison back 8 feet. Harrison scowled as he vanished the acid. His other wounds were already healing from his Vampire Regenerative Healing powers. "Very well done Harrison. You should be able to handle any challenge from this Tournament." Dracula said. Harrison inclined his head gratefully and said "Thank you Father. I should get back to Hogwarts now." Dracula nodded and replied "Very well. Keep practicing." Harrison nodded and said "You know I will."
Harrison walked back to the traveling room and shadow traveled back to an empty room in Hogwarts. Since it was lunchtime, he headed for the Great Hall to eat with his friends. He sat down next to Yana and started putting food on his plate. "How was it?" She asked while Ivan listened for the answer. "It was good. I made my report, and Father evaluated my progress." Ivan and Yana winced in sympathy. They knew well how bad a duel with Dracula hurt, having tested themselves against him before.
Needless to say, both had lost miserably. And with great pain. They couldn't beat Harrison either, but at least against him it didn't hurt so much. Harrison always held back when dueling with them, not wanting to hurt his friends to much. Or kill them. Probably kill them. They were no match for him. Nowadays, he only lost to elite or old Vampires. Or old elite Vampires. Or Dracula, but that was obvious. Harrison and his friends ate with a companianable silence, not needing to talk to feel at ease with each other. That is, until Ivan ruined it. "Soooo...How's life going for you?" Harrison and Yana face-palmed while Ivan waited for an answer obliviously. So much for silence.
POV change. (Neville)
Neville scowled as people continued to mock him for earlier. How dare they mock him! He was the Chosen One! They're not allowed to mock him! This was all that punk's fault! Embarrassing him in front of all his fans! He should do something about it. But, what...? Neville suddenly had an epiphany. If he embarrased the punk back, wouldn't that make them even? And if he embarrassed him even worse, that would make Neville the winner! But, how to do it...? He should get the Twins help. They would have plenty of good ideas.
"What do you mean no! You better help me prank back! I'm the Chosen One!" Fred and George Weasley glared at him furiously. "We mean-" "Exacly what-" "We said-" "Little boy!" They growled alternatively. "We will not-" "Help you prank-" "Someone like him!" They continued. Neville scowled and whined 'Why not?" Fred and George glanced at each other and then said in unison "Cause he's awesome!" Neville scowled and stalked away. If they wouldn't help him, he'd just have to do it himself.
POV change. (Fleur Delecour)
Fleur had never seen something so uncouth in her life. Seriously, why would you hang someone from the ceiling in their under wear? Let alone someone as unattractive as that little boy! Now, if it had been the other way around, with that tough guy hanging from the ceiling in his under wear, Fleur could totally understand. After all, who wouldn't want to see that? She hoped that he was chosen as a champion with her, so that she could try to seduce him. That would be very nice.
POV change. (Ivan)
Ivan couldn't believe that she had rejected him again! Seriously, what more could she possibly want from him! 'Maybe...she wants a gesture of my endless love!' He thought. Maybe she wants a bouquet of flowers and a public declaration of his undying love for her! Yes, that was it! He'd make sure to do it at dinner the next day. That should make her see that his love for her was real and eternal. Then she'd stop checking out his best friend! Oh, it will be perfect!
POV change. (Yana)
'
Yana was sick and tired of Ivan trying to ask her out. Seriously, why couldn't he take no for an answer! 'Maybe...he just needs proof that I like someone else!' She thought. Maybe he needed to see her making out with that hunk of goodness Harrison to realize she didn't like him! Yes, that was it! She would do it at dinner the next day. That should make him see that she didn't like him. Then he'd stop asking her out! Oh, it will be perfect!
POV change. (Dracula)
Dracula was getting really horny for some reason. He had no idea why, but he really needed to go out and have sex with a random muggle chick. 'Maybe I'll find one in Las Vegas this time!' He thought. Maybe he just needed a good prostitute to fix him up. Maybe they could play Nurse and Patient. Then, he'd stop being so horny! Oh, it will be perfect!
