Chapter 14: Taka's Turn and First Task, Wizard King Part 15

Taking a deep breath the small brown cub said, "Chapter 15: The First Task

Harry was utterly nervous. In one weeks time he would be judged by his skills in mock combat in the First Task of the tournament. Nala wasn't even speaking to him after he had told her he wasn't going back."

"He's not going back? But why not?" One of the order members ask just appear after finish a mission reporting to Dumbledore.

"That's a story I don't think many want to think about," Albus tells the young order member who nods sitting down quickly curious to know.

Taka tilt his head scrambling his memories trying to think of what could happen before he died but comes up with a blank when Mufasa decides to say it so anymore order members comes in curious to know what they miss, "My death."

The said member just murmurs, "Oh."

"I'll start reading again," Taka replies tail twitching behind him. "Flashback...

"I'm not going back Nala." Harry said to his best friend.

"But we need you!" Nala protested.

"No one needs me." Harry retorted spitefully.

"Yes we do, your the King."

"Nala we've been through this I'm not the King, Uncle Scar is." Harry said as Hermione paced the room and Ron just gaped in shock as they had entered just as Nala spoke about him being King before their current argument.

"Harry." She started. "He let the Hyenas take over the Pride Lands."

"What?" Harry asked in a shocked tone. Uncle Scar knew that the Hyena's had been banned by grandpa before dad became King. (Mufasa's father died when Harry was five) What was he playing at?"

"Who is Mufasa's and Scar's father?"

"His name is Ahadi," Harry replies giving a nod to Taka telling him to continue.

""There's no food, no water." She went on. "Harry if you don't do something soon everyone will starve."

"I can't go back. You wouldn't understand." Harry said as he sat down on the other side of his bed with his back to the others in the room.

"What wouldn't I understand?" Nala asked.

"I-it doesn't matter." Harry said. "Look." He went on. "Sometimes bad things happen-"

"Harry-" She interrupted him before he went on.

"And you can't do anything about it, so why worry?"

"Because its your responsibility!" Nala said firmly glaring at her best friend.

Harry glared back. "Well what about you? You left!"

"I left to find help!" Nala said. "And I found you. Don't you understand? Your our only hope!"

Harry scoffed. "Seems like that's all I am to anyone." He said before storming out of his quarters.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Nala asked Harry's two human friends. Zazu raised an eye in curiosity as well. He had yet to hear the young master's story.

Ron and Hermione told the four animals (Timon and Pumbaa where in the room as well) in the room Harry's story as the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry hadn't even told Timon and Pumbaa about his birth parents deaths when he was told.

"Apparently, whoever brought Harry to your pride took him from his mother's arms when they where killed." Hermione finished.

Nala looked close to tears. She had no idea. Her mother was holding him when she died.

Flashback end…""

"So that's why he didn't want to come back since he still feels guilty," Sarabi murmurs nuzzling her two cubs who just stare at their paws.

Even Taka wince feeling more guilty about doing these things about the pridelands and everything else. Sure there are things are a blur at times though it comes back to him later. He bows his head glancing at Harry mouthing to him , 'Sorry.'

Harry gives a small smile knowing Taka isn't Uncle Scar as in Evil but a kind heart which he just nods while Taka reads again feeling a bit better. "He and Nala had another fight afterwards about him coming back to Pride Rock, but he insisted he was never coming back and they both stormed off. Ron, Hermione, Timon, Pumbaa AND Zazu had tried to get them to talk, but to no avail. They wouldn't budge.

"I'm not hungry." Harry said the morning of the First Task.

"Just a bit of toast mate." Ron insisted putting a piece on Harry's plate. "Go on."

"I'm not hungry." Harry said again with a slight growl.

"Ron's right Harry, your going to need your strength today." Hermione said."

"It must be something big then," Simba murmurs to himself curious of the task will be. Mufasa hums in agreement keeping an eye on his mate in case its something horrible

""If you died Young Master, I'd never be able to face your mother again." Zazu said as he fluttered down on his shoulders when he flew in with the owls. Hedwig nipped Harry's ear affectionately before owl glaring at Zazu.

"Err..." Harry said noticing this. "Is something going on between you two?" Harry asked Zazu as Hedwig ruffled her wings and took off for the Owlery.

"Oh she saw me talking with an eagle owl." Zazu sighed. "Women." He said with a huff before taking off for the Quidditch Pitch."

"So Zazu does know how to pick up women," Harry exclaims getting a confuse look from the humans as Sarabi and Mufasa laugh.

"I'm starting to think the same," Taka chips in laughing a bit.

"That's a big surprise that's for sure," Simba adds in until Sirius decids to interrupt the cubs joking around.

"What's so bad about Zazu and women?"

"He usually can't talk to them right or the superior air he gives off being Mufasa's majordomo other then being shy around females and adds comments at the wrong time," Sarabi supplies trying to keep a straight face.

""Will All Champions please make their way to the tent just outside of the Quidditch Pitch please." Dumbledore announced after Harry had conceded into having a egg/sausage toast sandwich. Harry got up from the Gryffindor table and left with Fleur, Krum, and Diggory.

It was a quiet walk down to the white tent. All of them where nervous beyond belief. But in his nervousness, Harry managed to come up with a gameplan for getting past his dragon. He would use his animagus form's speed and power. They walked into the flap and found Dumbledore, Maxime, Karkaroff and Mr. Crouch and Bagman waiting for them. Bagman pulled Harry aside.

"All right Harry?" He asked. "Got your plans all ready?" He asked.

"Yeah." Harry said. He peeked around the tent and Saw Nala in the Gryffindor stands with Hermione, Ron, Zazu and Timon and Pumbaa. She did come. His heart started doing back flips. Not minding that she was a lioness and he primarily human. He felt guilty about shouting at her in their recent argument and had wanted to apologize, but his damned pride wouldn't let him.

"Excellent." Bagman said, they walked back into the tent and he opened the sack he was carrying.
"All right everyone, your task, is to collect the golden egg!" He said excitedly. "You will reach in here and pick out the model dragon that represents the real dragon you will face and the order you will face them in." He opened the sack. "Ladies first Miss Delacour." He said."

"THE FIRST TASKS IS DEALING WITH DRAGONS?" James and Lily yells giving Albus a dark look which he just shrugs unsure how to appease the two Potters.
"Fleur reached in and winced as she heard roaring. "Common Welsh Green." He said eagerly. "Your number is 2." The greeen dragon model squeakily roared up at her.

"Mr. Krum." Bagman said handing the bag to the Bulgarian Quidditch player. Krum reached into the bag and pulled out a scarlet colored dragon that roared and breathed fire into the air.

"Chinese Fireball. Ooooo." Bagman teased. "Your number is 3." He handed the bag to Cedric who pulled out a silvery blue dragon which squeak roared up at him.

"Swedish Short Snout." Cedric sighed in relief.

"And so last but certainly not least is-" Bagman said.

"The Horntail." Harry said nervously. Of course he would get the most dangerous one.

"Excuse me?" Bagman asked.

"Nothing." Harry said reaching in and pulling out black dragon that roared much louder than the
other models and glared up at Harry.

"Your number is 4." Bagman said in a nervous tone."

"Horntails are nasty ones," Sirius murmurs remembering a bit of his past and lessons about dangerous creatures.

"My poor baby," Sarabi murmurs just as Harry leans against his mom giving her a reassuring smile.

"I'm sure my future self will be able to handle it," The cub replies which the others ance at him only to have Taka clear his throat signaling he's ready to read again.

"The challengers went by rather too quickly for Harry's liking. Soon he found himself being called out onto the field. He left the tent and walked onto the Pitch. He found himself staring up at the mighty beast.

Harry smirked as the dragon growled down at him and lashed its tail at him. He dodged it and sprang into his animagus form.

"Good god Potter's an animagus!" He heard Bagman's commentarty Harry in lion form smirked and ran at full spead dodging bursts of dragon fire. He ran around and around the dragon. It roared in frustration as he jumped over the tail that managed to strike the top of his front left leg. He roared in pain but ran onward. Determined to get the damned egg. He made a leap through the dragons legs and transformed into human form to grab the egg with his outstretched arms and rolled onto his feet. He then got the hell out and ran to the tent."

"Told you so," The lion cub chirps smirking proudly which Simba just smiles ruffling his fur.

"A smart tactic which some would never thought about using," Remus comments feeling every proud of Harry's choice of strategy of getting the egg.

""How about that?" Bagman shouted eagerly. "Our youngest Champion is the fastest to get his egg!
Please be patient while the judges tally up the scores."

Harry entered the tent to find Madame Pomfrey tending to the Champions wounds.

"Over here Mr. Potter." She said gesturing to a free bed. "Last year Dementors, this year dragons!" She said in an angry tone as she patched up Harry's deep wound. He winced as she spread healing ointment on it that stung like fire. "If I didn't know what would happen to you all without me, I'd resign in protest!" Harry smiled. The nurse truly cared about the students of Hogwarts. He saw shadows outside the tent of his friends."

"They had dementors at Hogwarts?" Minerva hisses eyes burning at the very thought of her future students dealing with those horrible creatures as the rest of the occupants in the room just shivers.

""Harry you where brilliant!" Hermione said. Wrapping her arms around his neck. "I didn't even think about your animagus form! I was going to suggest a Conjunctivitis Curse cause a Dragon's eyes are its weakest point!"

"That's what Krum did." Ron said. "Only the dragon panicked and squashed half of the real eggs. The real ones weren't supposed to be hurt."

"You where fantastic kid!" Timon said on his shoulder. "A real champ!" Harry rolled his eyes at Timon's lame joke and flicked him off onto the bed. "Hey! I'm just trying to be supportive."

"Yeah. Right." Harry smirked. He saw Nala walking into the tent.

"If you ever." She started. "Do something that stupid again, I will kill you myself." She said as she nuzzled him. Harry hugged her neck and nuzzled back.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you." Harry said. "I just don't think going back is a good idea for me."

"I want an explanation." Nala said. "Soon."

Reluctantly, Harry nodded in defeat"

"Sounds like Sirius trying to joke in a serious moment," Remus said rolling his eyes.

"Oi!"

"I'm starting to like Nala more and more as she interacts with Harry," Lily reply smiling at the possible future couple.

"They do seem a bit like Jams and Lily," Minerva murmurs to one of the female order members who just nods in agreement since she been in school with the marauders and Lily.

""Oi!" Diggory called into the tent. "Potter! Their announcing the scores!" Harry and the others exited the tent and stared up at the judges tent.

"Cedric Diggory used a rather unique method of transfiguration to distract his dragon." Bagman announced.

But not enough apparently. Harry thought, as half of Cedric's face was covered in this thick orange paste.

"However, though he did get his egg the dragon gave him a rather severe burn." Bagman admitted.
"Judges? How do you rate his performance?"

Maxime put up a seven in a ribbon like font above her wand.

Karkaroff put up a five in fire above his wand.

Dumbledore put up a seven as well. In a watery font above his own wand.

"Biased bastard." Ron scowled up at a smug looking Karkaroff."

"I agree Karkaroff seems to be a damn freaking biased Bastard," Sirius mutters under his breath curious to hear his godson's score.

"Harry didn't hear Fleur's scores nor Krum's and saw a rather panicky Zazu flying toward him. After reassuring Zazu he was ok as the bird checked him over for injuries, He looked up for his own scores.
"Harry Potter used his own Animagus form to avoid the dragon's bodily weapons." Bagman said proudly. "To have mastered the Animagus form at such a young age is a once in a lifetime chance. However, his shoulder was badly cut by the dragon's tail. Judges?"

Madame Maxime sent up a ribbony eight.

"Not bad." Ron said. "I guess she took off for your shoulder." Ron said.
Karkaroff sent up a fiery seven."

"You biased bastard." Ron said again. "You gave Krum ten!"

"It doesn't matter Ron." Harry said. "Honestly."

Professor Dumbledore sent up a watery number eight as well.

"Twenty three points. Not bad." Ron said.

"The second task will take place on the twenty fourth of February." Bagman announced. "Thank you."

The crowd cheered and left the Pitch. As did Harry, with Nala at his side."

"Ronald!" Molly mutters thinking of her adorable baby boy at home which Arthur just sighs.

"I'm in agreement about Karkaroff is damn biased," Remus reply getting Sirius to smile at him.

"So who will read now?" Taka ask gazing around the room with curiosity ready to hand the book over.

"I will," Harry chips in before someone else could.
