Chapter 10: The First Task

Harry's POV

The first task was in a couple days. I'm so nervous, I have absolutely no idea what the task is. I haven't even thought of it. So many thoughts were rushing through my mind while I was walking down the corridor when I ran into Neville.

"Hi Harry! I'm just coming back from the Great Hall and Hagrid is looking for you."

"Umm… ok, I'll head that way, thanks Neville." I said. I jogged down to the Great Hall and ran into Hagrid.

"Oh! Harry! I've been looking for ye!" Hagrid said deeply.

"Yeah I came down to see you, Neville told me."

"Ah, yes. Well, I wanted to tell ye Harry to meet me tonight at my place. Alright?"

"Yeah, okay! Umm… what for?" I asked swallowing.

"Oh, ye'll see," Hagrid grumbled as he turned around and walked down the hall. Just as I was about to turn around, he stopped me.

"Oh, and Harry… bring yer cloak." I nodded and hurried back to the tower.

Later…

"Ye got that cloak, Harry?" Hagrid asked me, shutting the door to his house and made his way to the Forbidden Forest.

"Yeah, I got it right here, Hagrid what is this about?" I asked him trailing his giant footsteps.

"Ah, ye will see Harry, keep up."

I would, but one of your footsteps equals like 5 of mine I thought. We walked for a bit in silence when Hagrid stopped and I ran into him.

"Harry, put the cloak on," he ordered and I drew it around my shoulders.

We walked further up when I heard the footsteps of someone else.

"Hagreed?" That can't be…

"Bon soir, madame!" Ugh… it is.

"Hagreed, are you sure eet is safe out 'ere?" Madame Maxime asked stepping closer to him.

"Oh, yes m'lady! Right this way!" he stuck his arm out for her and she grinned and took it. Hagrid glanced back at me and made a notion with his head to go forward. He led us to a clearing with giant cages and tons of people around. I heard snaps and growls and stopped dead in my tracks. Madame Maxime gasped as one spewed fire.

"O' my! Can we get a closer look?" she let go of Hagrid's arm and stepped into the clearing. When she was out of earshot I ripped of my cloak and stepped forward.

"Dragons! That's the first task? You've got to be joking? How in the world are we supposed to fight off a dragon?" I whisper yelled.

"I think that ye just s'posed to get past 'em." Hagrid muttered. I gaped and started to back up.

"Hey I think I'm gonna go back, but I'll talk to you later? Thanks for warning me, Hagrid."

"Yer welcome, Harry. Take care o' yerself now."

I put my cloak back on and ran to the castle. What time was it now? We were out there for a while it had to be past hours. Just then I heard the striking of the clock. Eleven. If I was caught, I was dead. I slipped into the castle and made my way up to the tower, gasped the password and stumbled into the common room. No one was in there. Good. I pulled off my cloak and leaned against the wall and took in deep breaths.

"Harry?" I looked up to see Ginny sitting up from the couch, rubbing her eyes. "Where were you?"

"Gin…" I went over to her and enveloped her in my arms, just holding her with my face buried in her hair.

"Harry, are you okay?" she asked me, snaking her arms around my neck. I sighed. She pulled away and stared at me hard with those deep brown eyes. "Harry, where were you?"

I sighed and told her about Hagrid and the dragons and that they were the first task and we were supposed to fight one. Her eyes widened and she buried her face in my neck and started to cry.

"A dragon? Are they mad?" she mumbled into my neck. "Harry, y-you can't f-fight a dragon!"

"Hey," I said pulling back. "It will be okay, Gin." I gently wiped the tears from her face and kissed her forehead. "We should get some sleep."

"I can't sleep now! This is too much, Harry."

"I know, c'mon." I said pulling her to the stairs. "Goodnight, Gin. I love you."

She sighed and kissed me softly. "I love you, too, Harry." She went up the stairs and smiled when she got to the top before going down the hall. I smiled back and went to my room. Luckily, Cedric and Ron were asleep so I didn't get hounded with questions. I slipped under the covers and looked out at the moon, I fell asleep trying to figure out a plan for this task.

Kristin's POV

"Oh yeah? Okay then, what's that one?" I asked Seamus pointing at a constellation.

"That one is Pavo." He said laying back on the grass.

"Ugh, I can't stump you can I?" I grumbled flopping down next to him.

"What can I say, I love Astronomy," Seamus chuckled. "My dad taught me all about the stars when I was little. I loved it so much, I studied all of the constellations."

"Huh, that's cool. So what is Pavo?"

"Pavo is a peacock."

"Nice. Okay, how about that one?" I say picking some random jumble of stars wondering if it even was a constellation.

"Pisces." Seamus says reaching for my hand and propping his elbow up, looking at me.

"And Pisces is…?"

"Two fish, the most romantic constellation in the sky."

I looked over at him. "Oh, really?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"Really." He whispers leaning in as I close my eyes…

The sun was shining bright in the room. Hmm, Hermione must've opened the drapes. I looked up to see Ginny looking at me.

"Oh my, god, Ginny! What?"

"You were drooling."

"What? I was not! I…I don't drool…at least I didn't think I did," I muttered when I felt my wet pillow.

"Mhmm, yeah. What was your dream about?"

"What?"

"You were dreaming, Kris, no one drools that much if there isn't something going on up there."

"Oh, haha. Well if you must know, the dream was about Seamus," I replied getting out of bed.

"I knew it! So, what happened?"

"We were looking at the stars and he leaned in to kiss me and then I woke up. Right before the best part," I pouted.

"Well, all you have to do is make that dream a reality," Ginny winked and hopped off her bed. "I'm gonna head down to the common room, see ya in a bit."

I smeared the drool off my pillow and threw some clothes on. I ran a brush through my hair and pulled it back into a messy bun. I grabbed my toothbrush and headed downstairs to the bathroom. On my way, I ran into someone.

"Whoa, there. Hey." Seamus smiled at me.

"Oh, hey Seamus." I said smiling back. He began to lean in and I put my hand over his lips. "I need to uh… brush my teeth first." I blushed looking down.

He smirked, "Yeah, no problem." He let go of me and I smiled going into the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and went out to the common room and sat next to him on the floor in front of the fireplace. He put his arm around me and kissed my cheek.

"Can I kiss you now?" Seamus batted his eyelashes.

"Yes, you have my permission," I smiled and he leaned in and gave me a soft kiss. Just as he pulled away, Cedric walked in, breaking the moment.

"Hey, Kristin, want to play some wizard chess before we head down to the task?" Cedric said already getting the board out.

"Sure! Yeah, everyone else is already down there, so we probably have time for a game or two," I said going to sit on the floor in front of the table. I glanced over at Seamus to see him glaring at Cedric. "Seamus?"

"Yeah, sorry," he mumbled taking a seat next to me. Cedric rolled his eyes. I decided to ignore this. We sat down and started to play. Seamus snaked his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek. I blushed and made my first move…

Later…

Harry's POV

I bent over, picking up my sweaty wand. My hands were shaking uncontrollably. Beads of sweat rolled down my hairline and I whipped them away with my sleeve.

"Harry…psst..." someone hissed. I walked to the edge of the tent and leaned into it. "Harry?"

"Yeah?" I answered, recognizing Ginny's voice.

"How are you feeling?"

"Well, a little nervous, because I well… have to battle a dragon." Ginny whimpered and pushed through the tent and threw her arms around me, kissing me. I kissed her back

"Gather around champions it is about time to start the first task!" Dumbledore exclaimed. We all walked over to him as he held out a bag.

"Now, in this bag is a smaller replica of the creature you will have to face in the arena. Miss Delacour if you please." He said gesturing to the bag. She reached her hand and pulled out a little dragon.

"The Welsh Green." Dumbledore handed the bag to Greyson next.

"The Swedish Short Snout." He then handed the bag to Viktor.

"The Chinese Fire Ball." And then it was my turn.

"And that leaves the…" I put my hand in the bag and pulled out my dragon.

"Hungarian Horn Tail!" my heart dropped what was I supposed to do.

"Now at the sound of the cannon Greyson will go followed by Fleur then Viktor and lastly Harry." Dumbledore said.

"What ever happened to ladies first?" Greyson said smirking at Fleur.

"What is it Greyson scared to face a little Welsh Green." I sneered glaring at Grayson. Just then the cannon sounded and Grayson stepped out into the arena. I watched all the other champions go out one by one and face their dragon. Then it was my turn. I walked out of the tent and saw a golden egg in the middle on the arena. I was making my way towards it when the horn tail came out of nowhere. I ran and hid behind a rock as I felt the heat from the fire burn my skin. Think Harry think! Then it hit me.

"Accio Firebolt!" I screamed.

Ginny's POV

My heart pounded as Harry jumped onto his broom. He flew around the arena with the dragon tailing behind, the chain holding it back. After a while the chain easily snaps and it flew after Harry. My heart stopped.

Cedric's POV

The dragon flew towards us as it came crashing through the stands I grabbed Kristin and pulled her to the ground shielding her. After the dragon and Harry flew away I looked down into her hazel eyes.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm... I'm… okay." She said. We stayed like that for a few seconds before I stood up and offered her my hand. We stood up just in time to see Harry sweeping in and grabbing the golden egg.
