The first task had been decided and was described as muggle duelling by Ludo Bagman which basically amounted to a muggle street fight where there would be wards keyed to the battle arena blocking all magical cores and it would stay that way until all of the other two teams where incapacitated to fight.

Ryan and Harry of course had the advantage in this having years of training in all forms of combat and also both having a vast knowledge of muggle weaponry that would be used in the fight e.g. Singapore canes, pipes and baseball bats even though all would not kill an opponent with one attack like a wand would they where all relatively deadly and would be able to cause a lot of damage to an individual.

The Hogwarts team had a plan in place to try and scare Bex they would corner her whilst she was alone and try and get information out of her about her two teammates.

"Hey Reaper," Ron said walking up to her with Malfoy and McMillan either side of him

"What?" she said folding her arms and hoping that someone would notice the whole Hogwarts team circling one Durmstrang student.

"We just wanted to wish you good luck," Draco said "and to tell you to stay out of our way we would hate for you to get hurt,"

"Is that right?" a voice said and they turned around to see Ryan standing there with Hermione "I think you should step back about 5 feet from my sister."

"Or what?" Ron said arrogantly and then Ryan began to change.

His body shape quickly thicker with thick black fur covering his skin and his body growing to around 7 feet tall and then he dropped down onto all fours.

"Shadow bear," Ron screamed like a little girl with the other Hogwarts students running also as Ryan roared.

"Down Chewie," Bex said with a grin and Hermione who had been staring at the bear in awe then began laughing.

"Chewie?" she said between laughs trying to regain her breath "who picked Chewie?"

"Harry and Sirius," Bex said as Ryan began changing back to his human form.

"Are you ok,?" Ryan asked his little sister

"Yeah," she said nodding "thanks for helping me,"

"No problem little sister," he said "now go and tell Harry we have an hour and a half before the task so he needs to stop messing around with Sue because we need him at full energy not falling asleep on the way to the arena,"

Bex wrinkled her nose and walked off and Ryan pulled Hermione into his arms and kissed her forcefully

"You have to go and get ready," she said "I don't want you not being focused on the task because an hour earlier you had been having sex with me in a hallway,"

Ryan pouted at this and Hermione used this time to move out of his arms

"You're no fun," he said playfully "what if I take you back to our room can I ravish you there?"

"No," she said "you need to be ready and focused however if you win I will let you ravish me until the sun comes up."

"Really?" Ryan said with a smirk "what if I lose?"

"Then I guess I will have to ravish you to make you feel better," Hermione said with a grin. As Ryan walked off leaving his grinning girlfriend he wasn't sure whether he wanted to win or lose the task.

An hour later

The three teams where all on separate sides of the room with weapons scattered around the room, Harry and Ryan where standing together with Bex the other side of the table as they had not allowed her to be excused from the task however Natalie promised this was the only task that all of the members of the team had to take an active participation in.

As soon as the gong went off Delacour came at Harry with a Singapore cane which Ryan blocked mid swing and grabbed the stick and then hitting him in the gut with the cane causing the French student to double over then he threw the cane to Harry who swept the legs of Delacour with the cane. Whilst Ryan and Harry had removed Delacour from the task the three Hogwarts students had beaten down the two Beauxbatons' students with three beater bats and the whole French team was removed from the task.

Then McMillan ran at Harry and Ryan and swung the bat at them and they both moved out of the way then as he turned around Ryan caught him on the jaw with a thrust kick which stunned him and caused him to drop the bat, then Harry took a step back and hit McMillan in between the eyes with the Singapore cane.

"Two on two boys," Ryan said with a predatory grin and then began to change and became the shadow bear and then Harry became the shadow wolf. Ryan disappeared into the shadows and Harry went after Draco trying to bite them and at the same time Ron went after Bex with bat in hand however when he pulled back to hit her with the bat a meaty bear hand grabbed bat and span Ron around and as he did so he was knocked out by the punch.

Then another gong went off

"Team Durmstrang wins," a voice boomed and Ryan turned to see Harry standing over a knocked out Draco and a grin appeared on his face. Then as they left the arena Susan ran at Harry and pulled him into a deep kiss as Hermione did with Ryan.

"In ten minutes," Hermione said when they broke apart "I want you naked and on my bed,"

"Yes ma'am," he said with a grin.
