Anne Marie's POV
All too fast, we reached seats and Ludo Bagman positioned himself to commentate on the Champions performance. Ally had come and sat beside of me. We were both keeping our eyes on the entrance to the tent where Cedric, Fleur, Viktor, and Harry were, for none of us knew what order the Champions would face the dragons in.
Suddenly, a large Dragon, a Swedish Short Snout, was brought out into the Arena with its eggs and one Golden one. I looked at the fierce eyes of the Dragon, hoping that they weren't all this mean looking. Then, a whistle blew and the tent flap flipped back to reveal Cedric.
I gasped and Ally grabbed my hand, I had known this moment was coming, but I wasn't ready…I couldn't do this…but now, I couldn't take my eyes off him, I had promised to never leave him, and I wasn't going to break it now.
Cedric stopped right when the Dragon noticed him; he raised his wand and did an amazing transfiguration of a large rock on the ground to a black Labrador. The dog ran in the opposite direction of Cedric, and to my relief, the Dragon followed it. Cedric made a run for the eggs and I cheered and screamed with the rest of the crowd in happiness.
Then, when Cedric had made it halfway to the eggs, the Dragon turned back for him, remembering its children. I looked on in horror and ally squeezed my hand as Cedric sprinted faster, desperate to reach the egg.
Suddenly, the Dragon breathed a strip of hot flame straight at Cedric. I let out a yelp and jumped to my feet, watching as the flame hit Cedric right in the face. He turned and dived for the egg, and I sighed in relief, and as the rest of the crowd cheered, I craned my neck, trying to get a better look at Ced's face. He was led into the hospital tent out of sight.
"He's done, Anne Marie." Ally said. "He's alright…he's alright…"
Ally's POV
I was trembling more than ever now as Harry emerged from the opening. I squeezed Anne Marie's hand in fear.
"I can't watch!" I said and buried my head in Anne Marie's shoulder. "How can they make him go through with this?!"
"He'll be all right, Ally." Anne Marie said.
"Accio Firebolt!" I heard Harry shout.
About two minutes later, a large roar from the dragon came up and gasps from the crowd. I couldn't stand it! I had to look!
The dragon's head followed Harry's every move. A jet of fire came up and Harry dodged it, but the Horntail caught Harry in the arm with its tail. Another gasp from the crowd.
"No!" I whispered.
"He's OK!" Hermione said.
I buried my head in Anne Marie's shoulder again. Another roar from the dragon, then cheers from the crowd, and Mr. Bagman saying "Look at that! Will you look at that! Our youngest champion is quickest to get his egg! Well, this is going to shorten the odds on Mr. Potter!"
I looked again and saw that Harry did have the egg and I started to cheer along with the rest of the crowd. Anne Marie looked like she wanted to go find Cedric and see if he was all right, I wanted to see Harry too, so we, along with Hermione and Ron, fought our way through the crowd to the hospital tent.
