Chapter 11: Fire Breathers

MOKUBA KAIBA/SIRUS POTTER

"So what is this thing?" I asked my older brother as we walked down to Hagrid's hut.

He had given me a old cloak to carry while he carried down a large box. Hagrid had asked us to bring them with us, not sure why though...

He replied, "That Siri is the invisibility cloak... the one that our real father left me... and you... It's just as much yours as it is mine."

I wrapped it over my hands and sure enough, my hands vanished underneath the cloak.

I gather it up and held it up and asked, "So why did Hagrid tell you to bring it and me?"

Harry sighed and said, "It's something to do with the first challenge, maybe he thinks you can be of help."

We walked up to Hagrid's hut and knocked on the door.

Hagrid came out and said, "Good you're both here. Set the box down and follow me boys."

Harry set the box down and we followed him into the forest, in the dead of night.

He looked at us and asked, "Did you bring your father's cloak like I asked you?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah we brought the cloak. Hagrid where are we going and why am I here?"

He replied, "You'll see soon enough. Pay attention this is important."

Harry looked at him and asked, "What's with the flower? Hagrid have you combed your hair?"

He was looking more dapper than usual and was carrying a big red flower.

He looked at us and said, "As a matter of fact I have. You might like to try the same thing now and again."

Then the growls and howls of animals became more apparent and then I heard a woman's voice call out in a french accent, "Hagrid?"

Harry looked at him with a brow raised and said, "Madame Maxime... Now I see why you're dressed up."

I snickered a the thought of him having a crush on the Headmistress.

He looked at us and said, "Oh, the cloak. Put the cloak on."

We quickly ducked under the thick cloak revealing that we can see through it.

Hagrid stepped up to Maxime and said, "Bonsoir Olympe."

She smiled and said, "Oh Hagrid. I thought you weren't coming, I thought perhaps... you had... forgotten me."

He replied, "Couldn't forget you Olympe."

He kissed her hand and both of us gagged.

Nevermind, it just weird now...

Maxime looked at him and asked, "What is it you want to show me? When we spoke earlier you sounded so exhilarated."

He turned and said, "You'll be glad you came. Trust me."

As we walked closer to behind them we heard a loud roar unlike any animal I have ever heard.

But it did sound like some duel monsters...

We all looked over the bushes and saw them...

Dragons...

Fire breathing beast of legend that happened to be my brother favorite cards.

She squealed with glee and said, "Ahh, c'est magnifique! Can we get closer?"

Hagrid nodded and Maxime walked off.

We popped out of the cloak and Harry yelled, "Dragons?! That's the first task?! You're joking!"

He replied, "Come on Harry. They're seriously misunderstood creatures."

A big blast of blue flames and lighting came out of one of the cages.

Hagrid sighed and said, "Although, I have to admit that Aizu is a right nasty piece of work."

Harry looked at the cage and said, "Aizu? What kind of dragon is that?"

Hagrid nodded and said, "Yeah, we got her straight from Japan, a beautiful dragon she is... Of course all Bura Aizu dragons are... but they are one of the most potent dragons on earth... only one with electric breath weapon..."

The box broke open revealing the dragon that Hargid was talking about.

I could barely believe what I was seeing...

It was large with grand wingspread with white metallic looking scales and shining blue irises.

I whispered out, "Harry... it looks just like..."

"Blue eyes... I know..."

My brother's favorite card... is real...

I don't know if I should be exited or scared, because there's a good chance my brother is fighting it...


"Hey Harry! Wait up!" I yelled as I ran through the halls.

My brother was getting harassment from everyone.

All of them either wearing the yellow 'Cedric Rules' or the green 'Harry Potter Stinks!'

He looked at me and said, "Oh, hello Siri."

He looked out into the grassy area to see Cedric talking with his friends.

I follow him as he approached Cedric.

Cedric's friends began to hurl off more insults at my brother...

I wish they would stop, Seto didn't ask to be apart of this...

I said Seto... Again...

Get it in my head, my brother's name is Harry here, at home he's Seto.

Harry looked at Cedric and asked, "Can we have a word with you?"

He nodded and said, "Alright."

We walked off in a fair distance to where no one could hear us.

Harry looked at Cedric dead on and said, "Dragons. That's the first task. They've got one for each of us."

He gawked and said, "Are you serious?"

I nodded and said, "I saw them as well, four dragons..."

He looked at Harry and asked, "And Fleur and Krum, do they...?"

Harry nodded and said, "Yes."

Cedric shook my brother's hand and said, "Right. Hey listen, about the badges... I've asked them not to wear them."

Harry smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."

Cedric walked off and I looked up at my brother. "You know you never would have told him that back home... It's strange seeing this whole other side of you..."

He petted my head and said, "Come on Siri, let go to the commons and..."

"Why so tense Potter?"

I looked up and saw Malfoy sitting up in a tree.

He jumped down and said with a smirk, "My father and I have a bet you see. I don't think you're gonna last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you won't last FIVE."

Harry hissed at him, "I don't give a damn what you or your father thinks Malfoy. He's vile and cruel, and you're just pathetic."

He looked at me and said, "Come on Siri, let's go."

We turned around to walk away when I saw Professor Moody cast a spell behind us.

I turned around to see Malfoy was gone and a white ferret is in his place.

Moody yelled, "I'll teach you to cast when someone's back is turned."

He began levitating the ferret up and down causing me and Harry to laugh.

McGonagall stepped up and asked, "Professor Moody what are you doing?"

With out looking away he replied, "Teaching."

McGonagall looked at the ferret and asked, "Is that a student?"

He replied with a smirk, "Technically it's a ferret."

Mad-Eye made the ferret hover around. He sent it up the trouser leg of one of Malfoy's friends.

He squirmed and looked uncomfortable.

Everyone else was laughing and we were laughing the hardest.

Mad-Eye winked at us and he laughed along too.

Eventually the ferret comes back out and McGonagall turns Malfoy back to normal.

Malfoy yelled out, "My father will hear about this!"

Moody looked at him and yelled, "Is that a threat?!"

Malfoy runs away with Mad-Eye shouting after him.

He yelled, "I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair boy! It doesn't end here!"

McGonagall looked at Moody and said, "We never use transfiguration as a punishment, surely Dumbledore told you that."

Moody shrugged and said, "He might've mentioned it."

McGonagall glared at him and said, "Well, you will do well to remember it."

Moody looked at Harry and said, "Come with me."

I watched as my brother walked off with the Professor.

"Hey Siri!"

I turned around to see Ari, standing behind me with a great big smile on her face.

"I heard from my brother, that he's going to tell father about an indecent with a ferret... Any clue what he's talking about?"

I giggled and said, "It's a bit of a story really."

She looked at me and said, "Um Siri..."

I nodded and said, "Yeah Ari?"

She blushed and said, "I wanted to thank you..."

I tilted my head and asked, "For what?"

She smiled and said, "For being my friend. Not many people befriend me because of my family... and those who do aren't that nice... You and your friends showed me, that names really don't matter..."

She kissed me on the cheek and said, "Thank you Sirius."

She walked away with a skip, while I just stood there.

My face flustered with red...

She kissed me... it was just on the cheek but still...

I smiled and began walking down the hall, hoping no one noticed the layer of pink on my cheeks.


"Dragons?!" Joey said as we sat down at Ravenclaw table.

Harry nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I have to go against one... and from what we saw... they were viscous..."

Yugi looked at him and said, "So, do you have a pl-plan?"

He nodded and said, "Moody actually taught me a spell just for it."

Tristen snickered and said, "Did you hear about Moody turning Malfoy into a ferret?"

I replied with a laugh, "Heard about it? Harry and I were there! It was hilarious!"

Everyone started cracking up, even Ariana had a light laugh going.

Duke smirked and said, "Knowing Victor, probably going try to muscle down the dragon."

Serenity giggled and said, "As for Fleur, she is most likely to use illusionary magic, has always been her strong point."

Tristen nodded and said, "And what I've heard about Cedric is he's a transfiguration prodigy, one of the best."

Harry sighed and said, "That all grand and all, but I'm more concerned about the dragons."

"Just relax Harry..."

I turned to see that Kissara Lovegood had take the seat next to Yugi.

She looked at him and said, "You know your opponent now... Study up on the their weaknesses and you'll do fine."

He nodded and said, "Thanks Kissara..."

She nodded and said, "Now I best be off to bed. Tomorrow is a big day."
