"Are you sure this is going to work Hermione?" Harry asked his wife as they made their way to the champion's tent where the other champions waited.

"Relax darling, we'll be fine, just remember to focus" she said, squeezing his hand. Harry, though still somewhat unsure, squared his shoulders and walked into the tent where Fleur, Ginnete, Igor, Viktor, Cedric and Cho were waiting. Fleur, and Ginnete smiled at the couple as did Cedric and Cho, although her gaze lingered on Harry a little longer than was necessary while Igor and Viktor both glowered at Harry, although there was no mistaking the lustful look in Krum's eyes when he looked at Hermione.

Harry glared at Krum, who just smirked; Harry was going to say something but Bagman and Crouch came in so he held his tongue.

"Alright, let's get this started shall we?" Bagman said, looking around at the champions like a child on Christmas. Mr. Crouch opened the bag and turned it to Fleur who pulled out a Welsh-green dragon with a 2 on it, and then he continued to do the same to the other champions. Krum pulled out a model of a Chinese Firebolt with a number 3 on it while Cho pulled out a Swedish short-snout with a number 4 on it. Bagman offered the bag to Hermione who pulled out a Hungarian Horntail with a 1 on it, noticing that none of the champions looked surprised at having to fight a dragon. Harry suddenly felt nervous, he didn't want him or his wife to face that monster. As if she could sense his nervousness, Hermione squeezed his hand and smiled at him. Harry was shocked to find that even when he was about to fight for his life, Hermione's smile could still take his breath away.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Granger please exit the tent and go into the arena. Your challenge shall begin shortly" Mr. Crouch said and with a last nod to the other champions, the couple made their way out of the tent and into the arena where they found themselves face-to-face with a twelve-foot long Hungarian Horntail, with spikes on both the front and back of its body.

Bagman's voice echoed through the arena as he announced Harry and Hermione, somehow making Harry feel more nervous than he already was.

"You ready?" Harry asked and Hermione nodded. The two teenagers pulled out their wands and summoned their brooms. They quickly mounted them and went soaring into the sky, circling the dragon. The dragon shot a burst of fire at the two teens, which they dodged, before circling the dragon again.

"Hermione luv, remember how we caught the key in our first year?" he asked and Hermione nodded, smirking as she caught onto her husband's plan Harry flew around until he was level with the dragon and Hermione dove down towards the dragon. In the instant that the dragon's attention was taken off of him and was instead focused on Hermione, Harry urged his broom forward and seized the golden egg, landing behind the dragon. As the Ministry dragonkeepers raced forward to stun the dragon Hermione landed next to Harry, who dismounted his broom before walking over to his wife and kissing her passionately. The dragon, the arena, the screaming students, they all disappeared for a few moments , but all too soon the couple was ripped apart by Madam Pomphrey, who insisted upon checking both teens over to be sure they weren't injured. She insisted on doing this separately which greatly amused the couple as they shared the same bed. They were waiting for the judges to announce their scores when Ron Weasley burst into the medical tent.

"What do you want Weasley?" Hermione snarled; Ron looked shocked but began to speak.

"I… I wanted to apologize"

"Not accepted, now get out before I hex you to pieces" Harry said, voice full of loathing and hatred.

"Fine, see If I care" he said and then he walked out of the tent.

A few minutes later they were released from the tent where they found out they had been awarded the lead in the tournament followed by Krum and Polycov, Ginnete and Fleur and finally Cedric and Cho.

At the Great Hall that night, Dumbledore addressed the school.

"The next task will be on February the twenty-first and once again, the champions shall be allowed only their wands. They will have to duel in pairs, but the identities of their opponents shall remain a secret. That is all, and I wish you a pleasant evening"

Harry and Hermione went to bed that night wondering who their opponents would be.
