Chapter 7 – The First Task

'Where did you go?' Harry asked Larissa as she caught up to everyone

'I was meeting, and making friends with my cousin.'

'Your cousin?' Amelia asked

'Draco, his mother is my mothers sister.'

'You want to make friends with Malfoy?'

'Well, you know what they say. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.'

'That doesn't make sense.' Matthew said

'Its a muggle expression.'


'So, how did you do it?' Harry asked Larissa later in the common room when they were alone

'Well, I had to say 'Mudblood', and the fact that we're cousins helps, but other than that I don't know.'

'Okay.'

'... Oh my God!'

'What?' Harry asked

'You know this means that you and Draco are related. Not by blood, but by law. You're my god brother, and he's my cousin!'

'Thanks, I didn't need to know that.'

'Sorry.' She said, not sounding sorry at all.


As Harry, Hermione, Larissa, Matthew, Will, Emily, Amelia, and Catherine, were walking through the grounds the next day, Professor Moody took Harry to talk with him.

Harry came back, and dragged Hermione and Larissa to Harry's dorm.

'I need to somehow get my broom, in the task, but I'm only allowed a wand.'

'You could try a summoning charm?' Larissa said

'That's accio isn't it?' Hermione asked

'Yes, we did it in Charms the other day.'

They went into a long session, of teaching and practicing so that by the end of the day, Harry could summon things that we're very close, but the distance that his broom would be; he would need a lot more practice.


The day of the first task had arrived, Larissa was terrified for Harry. They walked down to the stadium,

'Good luck Harry.' Larissa said, giving him a hug, 'Please be careful, please.'

'I'll try,' he replied before, vanishing into the champions tent. Hermione followed him, and Larissa saved them seats. She looked around for Ron,

'Ron!' She called 'Come over here!' Ron, seemingly reluctantly came over and sat by her as Hermione returned.


The three other champions had successfully gotten the golden egg, and it was now Harry's turn.

He stepped out, onto the rocks and his eyes fell on the egg. Harry made his way towards it. Suddenly the dragon, out of nowhere, landed in front of Harry blocking his path, he turned and fled to behind a rock, the ends of his trousers were frayed and singed.

Harry held his wand up

'Accio!' he yelled and moments later his Firebolt was zooming through the air to him. Harry leapt on to it and flew across the rocks, high above the dragon, who was steadily getting angrier.

The dragon broke free, and chased Harry through the air and out of sight.

All was silent.

You could almost hear every heart beating, as they waited for Harry to return.

Harry was being followed by a huge dragon, a huge fire breathing dragon, his chances were slim.

Every one was worried,

Every one was looking around nervously for him.

The crowds erupted in cheering as Harry flew over the rocks, and grabbed up the egg.
