Chapter 10: The First Task
Harry's POV
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" I chanted as I headed down to the tent for the first task.
"You're not going to die," Severus assured me.
"Yeah, you say it," I said, "You're not the one facing a dragon."
"I'll be in the stands with your parents," he said and he left me alone.
I took a deep breath and entered the tent.
The other three champions were already there and they looked as though they knew what they were going to do. Even though Hecate had given me training I was still worried that it hadn't been enough. It took everything in me to pay attention to what Crouch was talking about. I watched as, one by one, the champions took a model of their dragon. I got the Horntail!

Severus POV
"How is Alister doing?" I asked Minerva when I joined her in the stands.
The Aurors searched for him and found him locked in a trunk in his house.
"Better," she answered, "But he's worried that Potter is going to be put in danger as the tournament goes on."
"Yeah, like he's really worried about Potter," I said.
My voice was drowned out by the first task beginning.
If I ever see another dragon it will be too soon. One by one I watched as the champions faced their dragon. Of course the Ravenclaw's were supporting Fleur and the Slytherin's were supporting Krum. The Hufflepuffs were supporting their own champion and no one was supporting Harry. I saw Hera and Zeus shoot daggers at them and then Athena and Hermes sat down next to me.
"Is Harry next?" Athena asked.
"He's the last one," I told her.
Harry appeared and Hera acted like a dignified goddess and clapped. Hermes went nuts when Harry appeared. I had to pretend not to care while Minerva cheered him on. We all watched as he used some of Hecate's magic, making Minerva frown. Thankfully he didn't blast the mother dragon to the Underworld and got his egg the fastest. Of course the Karkaroff had to act like a total idiot when it was time for points to be awarded.
"He's only doing it to make Krum look good," Lovegood seethed, snorting and glaring at the Death Eater turned Headmaster.
"At least it's over until after the ball," I reasoned.
"I don't like how he did it," Minerva said, "That's dark magic!"
"Minerva, at least the boy isn't dead," I said, "Isn't that what you want?"
She glared at me.
When the task was over I saw that Rita Skeeter was hanging around. I crossed my arms but then Lovegood appeared and said, "What the heck do you want?"
So much for her being airy and cute!
"None of your business," she said.
"You wrote that horrible article about Harry," she said, "Saying that he's crying for his dead parents. And last time I checked it's not about him."
"Professor Snape," she said, ignoring Lovegood, "So what did you think about the task?"
"Oh I liked it. Too bad the dragon didn't eat you," I snarled and I pushed past her to get to the tent.
"Well, I never," she huffed but I ignored her.
Harry came out, glared at Skeeter, and then joined Lovegood and the other gods.
"Do you have a statement?" she asked him.
"Dear gods," I muttered.
"Yeah, I do," he said, "Goodbye!"
And we headed back to the castle.
If I thought that the Gryffindor's would treat Harry better, now that they knew that only a total nut would take part in a tournament with dragons, I was wrong. Now they really believed that he had put his name in. So he spent time in the Slytherin common room and talked to Krum. That really made Weasley mad.
"I swear that brother of ours acts like a total idiot," Fred Weasley said.
"Yeah, and he's going to continue to act like a total idiot," I remarked.
"So, are you going to the ball?" he asked me.
I looked at him and said, "Yes, I'm a teacher."
"Got a date?"
I glared at him and said, "Yes, I do. Not that this is any of your business."
"Oh dear cousin, it's most certainly our business."
"Oh, please kill me," I groaned and he laughed.

Harry's POV
"So are you going ask someone out?" Ginny asked me three days after the first task was over.
"I don't know why I have to go to some dumb ball," I told her.
"It's tradition," she said.
"And so is taking a groundhog out of the ground on the second of February," I remarked, "Not that it's a good idea."
"Well I think that Luna should be asked. I heard that the Ravens bully her."
"I don't know."
"And she gave good advice," she added.
"Okay, I'll ask Luna to the ball," I told her. "Who are you going with?"
"Neville," she answered.
"Good luck with that," I told her.
She smiled and said, "Thanks."
