"This sucks." Harry stared down at the field from his perch on the window. The sun had been hidden by the clouds since 8, leaving the place cold and depressing.

"Wish we were back home, eating Boss's food." Kuriboh hummed in agreement, even as he munched on his fourth apple.

"What are you two still doing here? Didn't the tournament start already?" "...That was today?" "You're hopeless."

"Dragons. They're making children fight dragons." "Technically they're wyvern but who really cares?" "Uh I do, I'm a dragon duelist." "Sucks to be you." Harry scowled at Kuriboh.

"Just for that I'm cutting your meals in half. No more third or fourth servings." Kuriboh fell to the ground. "Please no! Anything but that!"

Dean sweat dropped at their antics. "Would the two of you shut up already? You've got a match on in ten." Harry looked away from the crying monster. "I'm gonna wreck this tournament to bad, they'll feel it for generations." "I hope so."

Harry stepped out from the curtains to the main field, duel disk out and running. He could feel his cards reacting to his energy, excitement coursing through them.

'I'm gonna show this so called dragon what a real one looks like.' He readied his hand.

The large Hungarian Horntail roared in anger as it smelled him.

'Get ready.' He reached over, finger on the card.

The horntail flapped it's wings and launched toward him.

'Now!' Harry drew a card and slammed it down on his disk.

"I summon Blue eyes white dragon in defence mood." The wyvern breathed fire just as he spoke those words.

The crowd screamed as he was engulfed by flames, believing him to be dead. Up in the stands Dean snorted. "Damn show off." As the judges were about to call for help, the smoke cleared.

Gasps and screams were heard as a large, white dragon stood before the horntail. It gave a loud roar, nearly sending everyone back.

Harry chuckled from his place behind the beast. "And since I summoned a blue eyes, I'm able to bring out his friend. Arise Red eyes Black dragon!" Another dragon burst from the ground, this one a black colour with red eyes.

Kuriboh whistled. "He'd never be able to do this in a real duel." "Good thing it's not a duel then." The two mighty beast gave ear rattling roars, causing people to cower under their power.

"I'm sorry I have to do this, but I've never been a fan of wyverns. Go Blue eyes and Red eyes, teach this dragon wannabe what a true dragon is." The dragons followed their master's command and sent two beams of fire down on the beast.

The wyvern gave a screech as it was engulfed in flames. "Looks like we're eating roasted lizard tonight." Harry looked to the scorched corpse as he walked to get the egg.

Holding the golden egg close, he sent his dragons away and headed to where the other champions were.

"Now that was a performance," Harry rubbed his face as he settled on the chair.

They were in the great hall, early in the morning the day after the first challenge.

"Really?" "Yeah, though that one judge didn't like how you killed the wyvern." He shrugged. "It's in a better place."

"Yeah, Kuriboh's stomach."

"Did he actually eat some?"

"Yup, now the bugger is running in and out of the bathroom."

"Looks like it went right through him."

The two shared a chuckle. "Ah, I've found you at last Mister Duelist." "Hey Luna, find your shoes?" "Yes, they were hiding behind one of the statues on the second floor. Wonder how they got there."

'Oh I could name a few ways.'

"You ready to see my friends?" "Oh yes, I would love to." "Hey Harry." "What Dean? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Yeah I can, aren't you gonna introduce me?"

"Why should I? You've been flirting with that vixen from the apposing school and you didn't introduce us."

"You'd just cramp my style with your awkwardness."

"I wouldn't have!"

Luna looked amused as the two argued. "While your lovers quarrel is fun to watch, I was hoping Harry would show me his friends." Harry glared at Dean before smiling at her. "Alright, do you know any place quiet?"

"There's the room of requirement, we can use that. "Great! Lead the way." The two wandered off, leaving a chuckling Dean behind them.
