Hitsugaya POV (Day of the tournament in the tent)

"Now we're all here, time to fill you in!" Bagman exclaims over excitedly. "When the audience assembles I'm going to offer each of you this bag, from which you shall take out a ... err... small model of what you are about to face. There are different varieties you see. And I have to tell you something else too! Your task is to collect the golden egg".

In no time at all hundreds upon hundreds of feet can be heard outside the tent, their owners talking excitedly, laughing, joking. Bagman holds up the bag. "Ladies first" he chirrups. Fleur puts her hand into the bag and pulls out a perfect model of a welsh green. It had the number '2' around its neck. Krum pulled out a Chinese Fireball with '3' round its neck. Cedric gets a Swedish short-snout numbered '1'. Harry gets a Hungarian horntail whose number is '4'. I reach into the bag and pull out a Norwegian ridge back with a '5' hanging from it's neck.

"Well there you are, you have each picked the dragon you will face. The numbers round their necks are the order in which you will face them. Now I'm going to have to leave you in a minute because I'm commentating. Mr Diggory you're first just head out into the enclosure when you hear the whistle all right?" A whistle goes off and Cedric exits the tent looking green. I block out the sounds of the commentator and watch the other contestants. Harry is growing pale just from waiting. Fleur is looking slightly panicked and Krum is scowling.

Another whistle goes off a while later "Miss Delacour, if you please" Bagman yells. Fleur exits the tent shaking all over. Bagman's annoyingly loud voice continues to commentate, the crowd roar, whoops and cheers -worse than graduation parties at the academy- =atleast these ones have a limit= -and thank God for that- ten minutes later a whistle goes and Krum exits the tent. The process repeats until I am alone in the tent. Finally the last whistle blows and I exit the tent.

The crowd goes silent for a minute as I enter the enclosure. -Hyourinmaru can you have a word with that dragon for me? I'll speak casually so as to hide what's actually going on- =of course master=. I look at the dragon "those lot out there sure can be loud can't they? It's kinda weird how their silent now just watching, isn't it?" I chatter, hiding the fact Hyourinmaru is talking to the dragon. I walk up to it and pat it on the nose, startling many members of the audience

"It's almost as if they're expecting me to do something spectacular, other than just walk over and pick up the egg. I mean, it's not like you even want to stop me. Quite frankly this golden egg is nothing but an annoyance to you so if I remove it I'm just doing you a favour" I say, the crowd stares at me in shock. I continue towards the egg and the dragon sit's down looking at me but not making any moves to stop me. I pick up the egg and she still doesn't move in to prevent me from taking the egg. As I exit the enclosure I thank Hyourinmaru for talking to her for me -thank you Hyourinmaru- =it was nothing, she's called Norberta and she was actually born here, used to belong to Hagrid would you believe?= -knowing Hagrid that doesn't surprise me-. The crowd is gaping at me like I'm an alien, the other transfers are smirking at me and each other.

"Well that's certainly a first!" Bagman exclaims bringing the crowd out of their shock. And now, for the scores. The judges give a unanimous 10 each. I go back into the tent to find the other four champions looking at me in disbelief. "You had a casual conversation, with a Dragon" Harry states "really I hadn't noticed" I say sarcastically "that's impossible" he tells me "you say that a lot but it's not getting any more true" I comment before leaving the tent. I head up to the castle and into my dormitory. I hear the common room fill up wit people and figure that now's as good a time as any to open the egg. I twist the top and the egg opens, a melodic set of voices leave the egg:

"Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while your searching, -"

"ARGH NOT HERE TOO!" someone screeches, I look up to see Harry and Ron holding their ears, Harry with his egg in his hands. "what's wrong with me listening to the clue?" I ask. "What do you mean clue, it's just a horrible screeching noise?" Harry asks, looking incredulous. "What do you mean screeching sound, it's a chorus of voices singing" I tell him =maybe it's not to them= -well no duh Hyourinmaru- =I mean freeze his egg= -oh- "why don't you open yours again and I'll see if I can stop it screeching to you" I request. Harry opens the egg looking very unsure the voices spill out to me but they cover their ears, I direct my reishi at the egg and freeze it. A horrible screeching fills my ears but they drop their hands from their ears seeming not to hear the screeching I hear. "MAKE IT STOP!" I yell, they look at me in confusion. "I think I just heard your screeching noise" I tell them weakly, "you need to submerge your egg in water Harry, I'm going to go somewhere private to open mine" I say.

Harry POV

"There's something up with that guy, him and his friends. It's like they aint natural or something, like they aren't human" Ron says. "I dunno about all of them" I disagree "but definitely most of them, some of them do seem more human than the rest of them" Ron agrees. "We should tell Hermione see what she thinks" Ron tells me. We walk down to the common room and see Hermione working at a table. "Hey, Hermione, we think there's something up with the transfers" Ron tells her. "I've been thinking that too but it doesn't mean we're right. I'm pretty sure that it's not all of them." "That's what we thought' it's as if most of them aren't human but the ones that are human are hiding it." "Well what do we do about it?" I ask "isn't it obvious? We find out what they are and if they are dangerous. and then we confront them to make sure we aren't wrong" Hermione exclaims.

"How do we find out what they are?" Ron asks "The library of course!" "Oh great".


Okay so I know this is super short for the amount of time it took but alot of stuff has come up and I was busy. (I had a birthday and spent too much time playing with face paints, powders and different fake bloods to prepare for halloween).

Also does anyone else whose birthday ever have a problem where despite having made a birthday wishlist they made throughout the year when they see things and note them down and then just ignore it and ask for Halloween costume parts? My friend and I both do it but were both obsessed with Halloween so I'm not sure if it's an October thing.
