Notes: sometimes life doesn't play fair, we all know Harry's is about to throw the mother of curveballs. If you think I have this all planed out then you are wrong, I am making it all up as I go so bear with me. (I do know some stuff like where I want to go with it but the getting there is unknown.)

Chapter 6: First task

It was a long night with Ron pouting. All the other roommates had started to cheer Harry on. It didn't take long for Ron to reap what hew Sowed; Astral had entered his dreams for some crazed Nightmare. It involved a spider woman and a place Ron doesn't want something stuck. Astral was sadistic when it came down to pay back. But the succubus was the least of his worries because Spazz had set up traps for all of Ron's bags and drawers.

The next morning started off with a bang. Ron had opened the top drawer to get a shirt only to have it blow up in his face. Spazz snickered as Ron went to open his pant Drawer next. Yet another loud BANG had gone off and Ron yelling "THAT'S IT, IM WEARING YESTERDAYS CLOATHES." Then Ron stomped out of the room. Neville started giggling the second Ron walked out "did you see the look on his face? Priceless." Harry said with a grin "I wish you had done it sooner" Dean said busting up laughing.

The day had gone without much fuss; Ron had been acting like a Prat. Harry had gotten word that Hagrid wanted to see him so he had asked Hermione and Fleur to come with. Hagrid had invited them in and sat them down "well I know what those two are doing here" Hagrid pointed at Harry and Hermione "but what is she doing here?" Hagrid pointed to fleur. Harry piped up "she is my fiancée so if you have something that could help me then I want her to know as well." Hagrid put on a stern look "very well, tomorrow I want you to meet me at my hut but bring your invisibility cloak." And with that the three students left.

The next day had nothing special, Harry had waited in anticipation for what Hagrid wanted to show him. Harry found Fleur and Hermione waiting for him down stairs "you ladies reedy to go?" he asked "let's get this over with" Hermione said. The three of them snuck out of the castle and down to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid was waiting outside but he was dressed funny. "Sorry Fleur but I hope you don't think me wrong for hitting on your headmaster" he muttered to himself.

"You know I can hear you?" Fleur said from under the invisibility cloak "ohm! So you three made it? Well keep it down and fallow me" Hagrid said blushing. It wasn't soon after that that Madame Maxime had come walking up "oh there you are Rubeus, what it is you wanted to show me?" "Maxime my sweet, it's this way" Hagrid said in a calm tone. Hagrid walked into the forest with Maxime's hand in his "I've got something to show you that I think is interesting"

Hagrid led the group to a place where a group of people where trying to restrain 6 dragons. Harry thought to himself 'I should have known' Fleur gasped but Hermione sighed, she knew one of the tasks would involve a dragon sooner or later. Harry stared at the dragons and the one that caught his eyes was none other than the Hungarian horned tail. The dragon was massive, spikes almost every inch of its body. You could say that it was a bad tempered porcupine but that would be putting it nicely.

Harry moved to leave when he laid eyes on the most horrific dragon of them all. It was as if made from bone with glowing red eyes, from its mouth came smoke that seemed to melt the trees around it. Harry noticed that Hagrid let Maxime go up close to the other dragons. "Hagrid what is that?" Harry pointed to the boned dragon "well Harry, that's a Death walker Dragon, native to America. Real nasty things they are, born into the existence when a major disaster happens and there are lots of deaths." Hagrid said in disgust. Harry got the sinking feeling that he knew this dragon but he couldn't but his finger on it.

Harry hurried back to the castle with Fleur and Hermione, all of them made it to Gryffindor tower without being noticed. "We better get some sleep and to start practicing on spells tomorrow" Hermione said "If the worst comes to past then we will need to know how to take on the Death walker" fleur said with exhaustion. "Let's go to bed for now, library in the morning" Harry said with boredom. That night was not special and passed like all the others.

Ginny was depressed; so many men had used her because of Harry. She was nothing but a slave now. She sat in her room thinking who would be next. She felt as if she had been stretched to limit, one time she was made to take on 4 Slytherin students at once. Renewal Spells where the only thing keeping her pussy from becoming distorted and useless. "What had gone wrong? How did Harry know about my spell?" she said out loud. "There are answers you seek child" a quiet voice had responded "who said that?" Ginny said as she sprung to her feet.

"Do not fear me child for I am here to give you power" the voice said with a southing tone "I didn't what you are here for I asked who you are!" Ginny said with a rude tone in her voice "I will answer all your questions if you answer mine first. Will you give yourself to me as a wife?" the voice said with glee. Ginny paused for a few moments pondering the worst "I would if it was in my power to do so" Ginny said sitting back down. "But you do, all you have to do is renounce your magic and I will give you a shard of my power" the voice said without hesitation.

Dumbledore sat in his office thinking of all the events, from Harry owning people to the goblet of fire. He sat there thinking of all the things Harry could do for the first task, some Stopping his own plan from coming to pass, others twisting Harry into a new dark lord. To top the cake of thought was an icing of pure dread. Dumbledore come to one final conclusion, he was no longer in control of Harry or Potter family line.

Dumbledore didn't want to accept this; he sat there pondering all the applications of what he could do. Dumbledore thought and thought some more yet nothing were coming to mind. He finally gave up; he knew he would have to let this fold out. If he tried anything now his whole gig would be up and Harry would see him as the master tactician behind everything. If he could gain control of Harry then there would be no reason for anyone to find out the truth.

Several days had passed; Harry and Fleur had trained to fight dragons. You could go as far as to say that Fleur was flawless at her charming spells that even a woman would bend to her words. Harry on the other hand had not learned any new spells to fight a dragon but learned to talk to them. The only practice he had was with Spazz, his pet pseudo dragon. Spazz didn't like talking to any one and tried hiding for most of these lessons.

There were only a few days left until the first task and Harry had realized that Cedric didn't know what was coming. Andrew was a druid and most likely told by the earth spirits and Junpei most likely knew by sneaking around. Viktor Krum was on the water and that would give him a clear view of the dragons. Harry decided it would only be fair the tell Cedric of the dragons.

Harry ran across Cedric in the halls, he was talking to one of his friends. "Hay Cedric can I talk to you for a moment" Harry said boldly "whatever you need Potter" Cedric responded. "Walk with me" Harry said as he started to stroll away. Cedric fallowed "what's on your mind Potter?" Harry rubbed his head "its dragons, the first task are dragons." Cedric froze "and how do you know?" Harry turned around and looked Cedric in the eyes "Ron's brother was here and he is a dragon keeper. You do the math" Harry said in a smooth tone.

After Harry's little chat with Cedric, he decided to go to the dorms for a little rest. After trying all day to talk to dragons, only to end up telling Cedric what he would be up against. Harry considered Cedric a friend, even if they were in different Houses. Harry could trust him and he hoped that Cedric felt the same way. As Harry entered his room he came to realize that no one was in here. He then realized it was still class time and walked over to his bead. "Where have you been?" a female voice had said in his ear. "Just helping a friend who didn't stand a chance if he did not knowing. And where have you been my love?" Harry said leaning back and finding two soft pillows to lean on "I was practicing my dragon magic" Fleur said with pride.

Harry grinned "we have several hours alone" Fleur dawned a similar grin "I know what you are thinking Harry, no" Harry's frown vanished "and why not?" he said in disappointment "Harry, I want to save that for our wedding night, I am still a virgin and want to keep it that way." Harry looked away and then looked at Fleur with another grin "well your grandmother isn't here, how about a quick job?" At first Fleur looked confused but then got the drift when she recalled summer break. "I guess I could do that, after all I don't want you to get ashier balls" Harry looked confused what are ashier balls?"

Fleur rolled her eyes "ashier balls are what state your balls get in if I or you don't whack your stick off. It's like blue balls but much worse because your balls become importable." After fleur finished Harry's face lit with fear "you don't have to worry my darling for you fiancé is here to keep you from such things" Fleur said stepping off the bed. She stepped in front of Harry and got on her knees "you should be happy that we even have time for this" Harry got up and dropped his pants "I am happy but not for this, I am happy because you are willing to marry me because I'm me."

Ginny was sitting on her bed pondering whether or not to accept this deal that was from a stranger. The offer of not being ruled by Harry Potter was amazing, and then the additional magic was a plus. She didn't know if she could trust this stranger and what the motive behind all of this was. Ginny's only idea was one of Harry's enemies. There was no real drawback from all this, If the stranger didn't hold his part of the bargain she would just be a muggle. If the stranger did hold up his part of the bargain then she would be in the right position to smash Harry's life to pieces and she would enjoy doing so.

It was time, the first task was tomorrow and Harry was stressing. The only thing keeping him going at this point was his fiancé, Fleur. She had finished studding for the first exam 3 days before so she decided to help Harry calm down. The help given on the other hand was more of a hand job or two, and the stress only left for a couple of minutes. Harry had decided on a backup plan, he was great at flying and wondered if he could out fly a dragon. He had Hermione hold onto his broom so he could summon it if it got that bad.

Harry was unable to sleep that night, every time he closed his eyes he saw the Death walker staring him in the face, mostly made of bone, some mussel here and there. Then there was that aura which froze the air around it. Harry would go so far as to say it was an abomination to the magical world and to dragons. Every time in his dreams Harry would speak to the dragon only for it to slice him open.

The next day came with excitement to everyone, everyone except Harry, Fleur, and Hermione who knew what was going to happen. Breakfast was quick; everyone was in a hurry to get to the stands for what was going to happen. Harry and Fleur headed to a smaller tent right outside the stands; there they found Viktor Krum, Junpei Yokoi, Andrew Driver, and Cedric Diggory waiting on them. It didn't take long for Fudge to show up with all the headmasters fallowing.

"Now listen up, you are only to bring your magical wands with you. No other magical items may be brought with you into this tournament" Fudge said. At that moment Nymphadora Tonks walked in with a crude smile on her face. "I'm here on behalf of Harry Potter as a Guard" she said staring at Fudge. "What do the rules have to say about this?" Dumbledore said to Fudge "the rules clearly state no other magical help. So unless you turn in your wand…" Fudge was saying "it's fine, I have a gift from Harry's parents anyway" Tonks said. "Then let the picking begin" Fudge finished.

Fudge pulled out a silk bag and opened it slowly "now what you find in here is a miniature of what you will be facing out there. It's only fair for the ladies to go first, Fleur" Fudge said as he held the bag out to her. Fleur reached in and pulled out a Welsh Green mini. "You're next Yokoi" Fudge said holding the bag out. Yokoi reached in and pulled out a pharaoh mongrel mini, next was Krum who pulled out a Chinese Fireball mini, then Cedric was up pulling out the Swedish Short – Snout. Fudge pointed the bag in Harry's direction "your turn Potter" Harry hesitated but then plunged his hand in. he had pulled out the Hungarian Horntail mini. Fudge then turned the bag at Andrew "your last" fudge said with a hallow tone. Andrew had pulled out the only dragon left, the Death Walker mini.

Fudge then told them the order in which they would be fighting, Fleur was up first, after Fleur was Cedric, after Cedric was Krum, after Krum was Harry, after Harry was Yokoi, and the last one up was Andrew. After Fleur left Tonks sat down next to Harry "hay, I have this dragon scale armor and Dragon fighting lance" she said "what's our strategy?" Harry sat up "we talk to it first; if that doesn't work I was going to out run it on my broom" Tonk's jaw dropped "that's it? What made you think you could out fly a dragon?"

"It was the last chance kind of think and I'm really good at flying so I just thought I could" Harry said at this point fleur came back into the tent. She was burnt from head to toe. Cedric headed for the arena, he looked shaken but walked with pride. It was hours before Cedric came back in, next however was Krum. You could never tell with that man, no emotion. Walking out to the arena wearing the same face he wore all the time.

More time passed as Harry sat there contemplating what to do. Krum returned with massive burns yet unlike Fleur he just walked in like it was nothing. Now was Harry's time to shine and all he could think of was Fleur going to be ok. Harry picked up his wand and started walking out "it's now or never Harry" Tonks said over his shoulder. As Harry walked out the crowd went silent. The faint roar in the distance grabbed his attention. There the dragon was, circled around a golden egg as if it was its own. Harry walked at the dragon "can I talk with you?" Harry said in Parseltong hoping the Dragon would hear him.

"I am willing to here you out young wizard but stay where you are" the Dragon responded Harry stopped "do you know why you are here?" Harry asked "I don't know, for the amusement of seeing me suffer" the dragons responded "no, well yes and no. that egg you are guarding isn't a real egg, it's something they are forcing me to get from you hoping I put on a show" Harry's words seamed to piss the dragon off. "And do you plan on giving them a show? Even try and kill me boy? Because I will eat you a thousand times before you get that chance" the Dragon stood up, looking Harry in the eyes.

"I do not plan any such thing; I know you are more powerful than me, which is why I come to make a deal with you. From stories of none magic folk, dragons love treasure. Do you love treasure?" Harry asked not moving "Oh! Treasure is a love to all dragons; I am willing to trade this egg for a treasure. What do you offer young wizard?" the dragon asked. Harry turned to Tonks "we can get the egg but I need a treasure to trade for it" Tonks looked down for a second "how about this armor?" she asked. Harry turned back to the dragon "would you be willing to trade the egg for my partner's armor, it holds much worth with my family" Harry waited a couple of minutes before the dragon answered "I would be willing to make that deal. But you must bring it to me without your wand" the dragons said.

Harry told Tonks to take it off and to hold his wand. He showed the handing of the wand over to his partner so the dragon could see. He then took the armor and walked over the dragon. The dragon moved its tail so Harry could come in closer "set the armor down by the egg, then walk out slowly with the egg. Only then will you leave unharmed." The dragon said. Harry did exactly what the dragon told him to, after leaving with the egg he heard the crowd gasp with aw. Harry walked over to Tonks handing her the egg and taking his wand. Before fully leaving the arena he casted one spell "accio armor" in which the armor that was traded to the dragon appeared in Harry's hands.

The dragon roared with anger "that filthy young wizard tricked me!" harry turned and screamed "you never said I couldn't summon it back after out trade" and with that said Harry ran into the tent. "Now was that really necessary? I could have gone without it" Tonks said "I would never take a gift that was given from my parents" Harry said. Next was Yokoi, but Harry was off to see Madam Pomfrey. "Well looks like you got it without a scratch" Pomfrey said with confusion. "Then I can go to the stage and watch the others?" Harry asked "that is for fudge to answer" she said.

After a little bit of convincing Harry finally got Fudge to say yes, at which point Harry rushed out and into the stadium seats. Yokoi's task was over already and it left one person, Andrew Driver and the Death Walker. When they brought the dragon out Harry shuddered, it had plagued his dreams. Even in the day this dragon looked as if Death had chewed it up and spit it back out because he didn't like the taste. All bone with some muscle here and there, and then the aura that froze the air around it. The crowd was chanting the word "Purdue" hoping that Andrew would rush out any second now. And to please the crowd Andrew came rushing out wand in hand but not for long as he chanted the wand grew to be a staff.

Andrew stood there looking at the dragon, a disgusting sin against nature. One is only born into the world because of the mass killing, in other words its birth is the death of thousands. Little did the crowd know that Andrew had more than a staff right now? He had summoned the great spirit of the forbidden forest which promised to help if he was to fight this sin. The spirit was massive and took the shape of many creatures, ever moving between forms "you have called and I have answered young druid. Let us be rid of this sin so I might rest easy" the spirit said. At that moment Andrew ran in at the dragon but it did not move. Instead the dragon looked him in the eye and asked "are you here for me? Or the egg I protect" Andrew stopped "my task is the egg, but you are a sin I cannot afford to ignore. Your birth was destruction and your death will be no more pleasant" Andrew said with pride.

"You think I am sin? You are the one binding others will to balance fate. Do you fare any better than I? And my birth was the death of only two but those two had an emotional but catastrophic destruction on those still living." The dragon said staring into Andrew's eyes. "What are you talking about? You could only be born from destruction" the dragon turned his head to face the crowd "yes but the kind of destruction was never specified. We death walkers are the outcome of those who greave for that which is dead. And those who created me where Lily and James Potter, I am there after image in tainted form"

Andrew stood there as the dragon picked up the egg and handed it to him "I have no need to fight nor do I wish death. I will even leave this realm and move on but you must promise me one thing little druid. Promise me that you will look after Harry and Hermione potter as their parents would have." the dragon finished "I promise" Andrew said in a whisper "then I am done" the dragon said as it began to fall apart. The crowd had created wildly for him but he did not feel like he won. There was more to that battle than what everyone saw. Andrew walked back into the tent only to have fudge great him "well done my boy, you tied Harry for first place" Fudge said.
