I must be back in my flow of things, at least for this story since i'm getting updates up every few days. Though right now i might get more then that because i have another chapter finished. Plus i've started the chapter after that. Plus the dramatic things start in the next few chapters. I've skipped a bit, so this chapters goes to the first task, then the next chapter finishes that and then we learn about the dance, and then the chapter after that (13 i think) goes to the ball. So by Chapter 13 we will be at Christmas Eve (since that's the day the ball is on) so many things will be happening. So please review and i'll keep working on updating quickly, plus next week is my Spring Break so maybe i'll get many updates up.

A couple weeks later, Harry and Cedric were heading into the woods with Hagrid. Harry had his in father's invisibility cloak on his arm and Cedric's hand was laced in his. Hagrid had just said Harry but he didn't mind.
"Hagrid where are we going?" Harry asked him as they walked.
"You'll both see soon enough. So pay attention, this is very important." Hagrid told them as they kept walking.
"Where do you think we're going?" Cedric asked Harry as they walked.
"I don't know." Harry said as he looked back at Hagrid and then he noticed something. "What's with the flower?" Harry asked, also then noticing that his hair was combed. "Hagrid you combed your hair."
"Yes, yes I did." Hagrid said. "You might want to try it once and a while."
"Nah, I like his messy hair." Cedric said smiling as he ruffled Harry's hair, purposely messing it up more then normal.
"Cedric!" Harry chuckled as he pushed his hand away.

They walk a bit more and they hear animal noises and Harry squeezes Cedric's hand a bit more.
"Hagrid!" A voice calls out to them.
"Quick, put the cloak over both of you." Hagrid told them, and then watched them as they covered their heads with it. "Hello Olympe."
"I thought you weren't going to come. That you had...forgotten me." Madame Maxime said.
"I couldn't forget you Olympe." Hagrid said as he handed her the flower. Harry lightly gagged and Cedric lightly slapped his arm, giving him a look that said to be quiet.
"What is it you wanted to show me? When you talked to me you sounded so...exhilarated." She told him.
"Well you'll be glad that you came, trust me." Hagrid said as he led the way, Cedric and Harry silently following behind him.

When they got closer to a clearing a Dragon's roar is heard.
"Ahh, c'est magifique." Madame Maxime as they went closer, dragons were roaring and others were breathing fire. "Are we able to get closer?" She asked as she walked away a bit.
"Dragons?" Cedric and Harry both said together as they lowered the cloak from their head.
"This is the first task?" Harry asked. "You're joking."
"Harry, their're seriously misunderstood creatures." Harry backed up into Cedric's chest as a huge flame fired up into the sky. "Though I will admit, that horntail is a right nasty piece of work. Poor Ron nearly fainted." Hagrid said.
"Scared out of his mind I'm guessing." Harry murmured.
"More then likely, his brother Charlie helped bring them over from Romania." Hagrid said. "He didn't tell you about this?"
"No, he just said you wanted to meet with me." Harry told him.

The following day, Harry was walking through the hallways of Hogwarts, he was on his way to from class. He was out looking for Cedric when he saw badges that people were wearing, or slytherins to be more exact.
"Cedric rules." A boy said as he ran by, everyone knew that Cedric was with Harry but that didn't stop Slytherins from acting like this. Harry just rolled his eyes as he went to a door.
"Like the badge?" A Slytherin asked.
"Excuse me." Harry said as he pushed his way through and over to where Cedric was standing with his friends. He was instantly pulled to the older boys side.
"You ok?" Cedric asked, he could see people still wearing the badges.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Slytherins just being stupid like normal." Harry told him, smiling a bit when Cedric kissed him.
"I think they should say Harry Potter rules." Cedric told him.
"Hmm, I think it'd be better if it said Harry and Cedric rule."
"That to...love you." Cedric told him as he smiled at him before he bid his friends a good bye and him and Harry started to walk away.
"Do Fleur and Krum know about the first task?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I told them." Cedric said.

As the pair walked they didn't see Draco sitting in a tree with his friends standing near by.
"Why so tense Potter?" Draco asked as he watched them walk.
"Back off Malfoy." Harry told him.
"My father doesn't think you'll last five minutes in this tournament." Draco told him as he hopped down from the tree. Harry pulled away from Cedric and went toward Draco.
"I don't a give damn what your father thinks Malfoy. He's vile and cruel, and you're just pathetic." Harry said, not knowing how close to home he hit it with his definition of Lucius. He then turned and stalked away from Draco back to Cedric, not seeing as Draco reached for his wand. Cedric was going for his but Mad-Eye Mood was faster and all but instantly appeared and flicked his wand at Draco turning him into a ferret.
"I'll teach you to curse at someone when his back is turned." Mad-Eye said as he started to bounce Draco up and down. Harry turned and started laughing along with everyone else.
"Professor Moody! What are you doing?" McGonagall asked as she rushed over and looked the Moody and the ferret.
"I'm teaching." He answered as he continued to keep Draco hovering around.
"Is...is that a student?" McGonagall asked as she looked at the ferret.
"Technically it's a ferret." Mad-eye said as he he caused the ferret to go down the pants of one of Draco's friends.

Harry was still laughing as the ferret got free from the trousers. McGonagall flicked her wand to bring Draco back to his originally self. He looked flustered and he rose from the ground and eyed Moody.
"My father will hear about this!" He said in a threatening tone.
"Is that a that!?" Moody asked as he went after Draco who ran off with his friends. "I could tell you things about your father that would curl your greasy hair boy! It doesn't end here!" Moody yelled after him as McGonagall came up to him.
"Alastor we never use Transfiguration as a punishment, didn't Dumbledore explain that to you?" She asked him.
"I think he might have said something about it." He said.
"Then make sure you remember it." She told him before walking away. "Everyone, go on nothing more to see here."
"Come with me Potter." Moody said to Harry. "Just Potter." He said when Cedric was about to go wit him.
"Go on Cedric, I'll see you later." He assured him as he pressed a quick kiss to Cedric's cheek and then walked off with Moody.

Moody led the way to his office and sat down as he looked at Harry and took off his prosthetic leg and Harry looked at things that was in the office.
"That helps me keep an eye on my enemies. When I can see the whites in their eyes, it means they are right behind me." Moody explained to him and when something inside a trunk made a noise and shook, Harry spun around to face it.
"What's..." Harry started.
"Wouldn't even bother telling you. You won't believe me if I did." Moody told him. "But now, what are you going to do about your dragon?"
"Well...I just thought I'd...." Harry said, that's when he realized he didn't know what he was going to do.
"Sit down Potter." Moody told him as he looked at him. "Your little boyfriend Diggory, when this tournament comes he won't be your boyfriend anymore, he's going to be another person part of this and wanting to win." Moody told him.
"You don't know that." Harry said, he didn't see Cedric suddenly turning on him.
"Maybe not, but Miss Delacour, she's not fairy princess, she's as much as one as me." He told him. "And Krum? He may not have much up there but Karkaroff does, and that will play to Krum's strengths. What are you strengths Potter?" Moody asked him.
Harry just sort of stood there, thinking about his strengths.
"Well?" Moody asked.
"Well, I;'m a fair flyer." Harry said, though he didn't see how that was able to be of help.
"I've heard you are better then fair." Moody told him. "One of the best flyers of your year."
"But I'm not allowed a broom." Harry told him. "So that doesn't help me a lot." Harry said as he looked at Moody. "And I don't think I have any other strengths."
"Wait, wait, wait. You are allowed a wand." Moody told him.
"What..." Harry said.
"Summoning spell, bring the broom to you." Moody told him.

When the day of the tournament came, the four champions were in the tent waiting. Harry was pacing nervously, this was it. Cedric finally got up and grabbed his hand and pulled him over to a bed next to him.
"Harry, calm down. You can do this." Cedric told him.
"Cedric, I'm 14, you guys are 17." Harry told him.
"Age is just a number love; you are just as capable of any spells as I am." Cedric told him softly. "I know you can do this." Cedric told him, though he was a bit afraid for the younger boy. This wasn't a game, and this could be dangerous and Cedric didn't know what he would do if he lost the older boy.
"I don't know if I can." Harry admitted.
"You can." Cedric told him as he pressed a quick kiss to the boy's forehead. "And you know if there was any way I could help you, that I would, just…we know this one isn't going to be one of those times, but know I am routing for you."
"Thanks." Harry said as he wrapped his arms around the older boy's neck.
"Harry?" A duo of voices said as the flap of the tent opened and Ron and Hermione came in.
"Hey guys." Harry said as he pulled away from Cedric.
"How are you feeling?"
"Nervous." Harry told them.
"That might be an understatement." Cedric murmured softly. "I think we have marks on the floor from his pacing."

Ron chuckled lightly and Harry shook his head a bit.
"Shut it Cedric." Harry told him. "I'm nervous; you need to stop teasing me."
"Ignore him Harry." Hermione told him. "Remember the key to this is to concentrate, after that…" Hermione said.
"I just have to battle a dragon, not so hard right?" Harry asked, the rest coming out a bit sarcastic.
"Harry, I know you can do this." Hermione said as she hugs him, only to pull away when a camera flashed.
"Oh look at this, young love." Rita said, not evening making notice that Cedric was in there and that Harry was with Cedric.
"Excuse me you need to leave." Cedric said, not even listening to the comment, he knew that the 'young love' she had said would never happen.
"If anything is to go unexpectedly today, you two may make the front page." Rita said, looking at Viktor as he came forward.
"You have no business here." He told her. "This tent is for the champions and their friends." Viktor said as he looked at Ron and Hermione.
"No matter, we got what we needed." Rita said as she took one last look at the champions and then turned to leave.
"I don't know if I like her." Ron stated.

Harry just nodded his head a bit as he moved back over toward Cedric.
"Harry certainly doesn't like her." Cedric said as his arm went around the younger boy's waist.
"No, no I do not." Harry said with a nod.
"Does it have to do with your interview?" Fleur asked, the first time she had actually spoken to any of them on her own.
"Yeah, that's exactly why." Harry told her. "And that whole…'young love' thing is totally stupid. No offense Hermione but she has seen the interaction between me and Cedric and anyone with half a brain could figure out exactly how close the two of us are." Harry told her.
"No offense taken, I know what you meant." Hermione told him. "She's just looking for something she can make into a front page story, even if it's not true."
"That's what it sounded like." Viktor added.

A few minutes later, Dumbledore entered the tent with Barty Crouch, causing Harry and Cedric to stand up from the bed.
"Good day Champions, today is a day only you four will greatly appreciate." Dumbledore said as the four champions gathered around him, Ron and Hermione standing a bit to the side of Harry. "What are you doing here, Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley?" Dumbledore asked.
"Oh, we were uhhh…just going." Ron said.
"Yeah, we were just going." Hermione agreed. "Bye Harry."
"Good luck mate." Ron said before the ducked out of the tent, and then Dumbledore turned back to the champions.
"Barty, bring forth the bag." Dumbledore told him.
"Champions if you would please make a circle around here." Barty said to them. Harry moved forward but stayed near by to Cedric as Viktor and Fleur continued the circle next to Cedric and around Barty. "Good, good." Barty told them after they had circled around him. He then went over to Fleur and held the bag out to her so she could reach in. She gave a small gasp and pulled out a miniature version of a dragon. "The welshgreen." Barty said to her as he moved over to Viktor. "Mr. Krum." Barty told him as he held the bag fro him to reach in and pull out his own small dragon. "The Chinese fireball ooh." He said being a bit more dramatic then needed.

Barty then moved on over to Cedric and held the bag out to him for him to pick his own small dragon.
"Mr. Diggory." Barty told them. Harry squeezed Cedric's hand lightly as he reached in and pulled out a small dragon. "The Swedish short-snout…which will leave…" Barty said as he turned to Harry.
"The horntail." Harry murmured softly.
"What's that boy?" Barty asked him.
"Oh…nothing." Harry said as he reached into the bag and brought out the final dragon.
"The Hungarian horntail." Barty said, even though Harry knew what the final dragon had been already. "Now, these represent four very real dragons, each one which has been given a golden egg to protect. Each golden contains a clue that without you can't proceed to the next task. Any questions?" Barty asked them. The champions shook their heads softly; the task at him was easily explained, though probably not as easily completed.
"Very good, and Mr. Diggory at the sound of the cannon you will start us off." Dumbledore told him and almost as soon as he said that the cannon fired.
"Good luck." Harry told him as he quickly hugged him again.
"I'll be fine." Cedric assured him as he hugged the boy back; before he pulled away from him and then went to the entrance to the arena the challenge would take place and then started out to begin his tournament.
