Chapter 36: The first task

"Can you please tell us what your plan is?" asked Hermione. "Also, shouldn't you be looking for some more offensive spells?"

"Nope. That'll ruin the fun." said Harry. "Also, I don't need to know more offensive spell. At least not now. I honestly don't think they'll have us defeat the dragon. I mean, dragons are tough creatures and it takes at least dozen highly skilled wizards to kill a dragon. I'm pretty sure it's something like going past the dragon."

"Besides, there's not much time left till the task Hermione. There's like less than a week left. I think it's bit late for Harry to change his strategy." said Bobby.

"Also, if you make a plan, stick to it. Changing muddles things up." said Logan as he inhaled his cigar.

It's been about a week since the entire Xavier institute arrived to Hogwarts. All Muggleborns and Halfbloods were super excited to have the one of the greatest superhero teams near them. They were well liked by many others but of course, there were those who disliked him.

Majority of the Slytherins were enraged at the idea that mudbloods were allowed to stay. Snape was his usual self and loathed the X Men. Dumbledore was definitely not happy with them because they could potentially mess up his plan to have Harry Potter killed.

But there was one person who hated the X Men more than anyone in Hogwarts: Aiden Potter. Ever since the X Men arrived, he had to watch and hear how great those weird creatures were. He also had to see that his worthless twin was getting more attention then him. How dare he! He was the Boy-Who-Lived! He should be getting all the attention!

Finally, Aiden had enough. "YOU!" yelled Aiden at Harry.

Everyone saw Aiden standing behind Harry and glaring at him and all the X Men with anger and hatred.

"What do you want." said Harry.

"You are a worthless nobody of a loser. How dare you bring those… those things and take away my attention and fans?" shouted Aiden. Aiden didn't realize his little rant was about to lose him lots of admirers.

"I told you and everyone in this place. I'm making it fair so every school has equal chance with one champion each instead of two champions." said Harry.

"SHUT UP! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO BRING THOSE CREATURES AND STEAL MY GLORY!" screamed AIden.

"Hey, I didn't put a gun up people's throat and beg them to go see the X Men. It's completely their own doing. So if you have problem with that, go tell that to them and stop wasting my time." said Harry. "Although I don't think you even have the right to tell them what to do."

"SHUT UP! You took them away and I have every right because I am the Boy-Who-Lived!" shouted Aiden.

Logan, who was sitting next to Harry looked up and he was not pleased. "Let me see… Red hair, spoiled, bigger ego than Tony Stark and Johnny Storm combined… You're that idiot Aiden Potter."

"How dare you call me-" shouted Aiden but Logan cut him off.

"Shut the fuck up." growled Logan as grabbed Aiden by the hem of his robe and pulled him up to his face . "I dare because Harry isn't the first person to tell me that you are nothing but an arrogant spoiled lazy stuck up piece of shit. You are so full of yourself that I bet my balls that if I cut you open, it'll be filled with mini-you. Tell me something that's noteworthy about you and don't give me your little name that you got from kicking Voldemort's ass when you weren't even toilet trained. Because it means Jack shit to me."

Aiden was getting angrier with every word Logan was saying. "Diffindo!" yelled Aiden and the spell hit Logan's chest. But instead of screaming or groaning like Aiden expected, Logan smirked.

"Is that the best you can do? That almost tickled." said Logan as the gashes on his chest were filled with new skin.

Aiden was flabbergasted. But before he could do anything else, his mother's voice called out. "AIDEN FLEAMONT POTTER!"

His mother, Professor McGonagall and Professor Xavier were coming towards him and they were not looking happy about this.

"Mr Aiden Potter this is truly disgraceful! I have never been more embarrassed, ashamed and disappointed at any member of my own house in all my teaching career! That's 50 points from Gryffindor for being rude to our guests, another 50 for insulting your fellow student and another 50 for cursing our guest. Also, a detention with Professor Potter!" shouted Professor McGonagall.

"That's not fair!" said Aiden in shocked voice.

Lily graped her son by his ear. "Be quiet, she's being more than fair. Only reason she didn't put you in detention everyday is because you are a Triwizard tournament and need time to prepare." snapped Lily. "I am so sorry about this Professor Xavier. I'll make sure I discipline him properly."

"Apology accepted Professor Potter." said Professor Xavier. "I do hope something like this never happens again."

Lily nodded and turned to her son. "You and I are going to have a long discussion in my office tonight." she said angrily.

Professor McGonagall and Lily left the hall together and was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Now Minerva, don't you think that was an unnecessary punishment?" said Dumbledore.

"What?" said McGonagall in disbelief.

"I mean, Aiden does have the right to be angry. His glory was being taken awa-"

"ALBUS DUMBLEDORE!" shouted Lily. "I can't believe what you are spouting. And to think I once defended you from people who claimed you were senile! He had absolutely no excuse for his behavior."

"Well, then his punishm-"

"Was more than fair. As I said before, Minerva had all rights to put him in detention everyday till the end of the year but she was generous enough to give him time to prepare for the tournament." said Lily. "Aiden will be punished and that's final."

McGonagall and Lily left while Dumbledore fumed. Why couldn't they realize that they shouldn't punish Aiden? He had an important duty after all.

"I'll have to have Hagrid take Aiden to see the dragons soon." muttered Dumbledore. "And I should go and see the dragons as well."

It was finally the day of the task. The atmosphere in the school was one of great tension and excitement. The champions themselves were all nervou, including Harry. Even with plan, Harry couldn't help but feel bit nervous. How could he not? He witnessed the power of dragons before, even though it was probably a different dragon than one he was about to face.

The four champions were inside a tent that was leading to the arena. For some reason, Fleur and Viktor didn't look as nervous as him.

"I guess it's true when Professor Potter said it's an unofficial tradition to cheat. Maxime and Karkaroff must have told them about the dragon." thought Harry.

Then, Ginny, Peter and Kurt came inside the tent. "Hey guys." said Harry. "Where are the other's?"

"Hey yourself." said Peter. "They are out there getting seats. The stadiums packed."

"Oh, Harry. Please be careful." said Ginny. "I've seen Charlie's scar and trust me, even looking at it is painful."

"I will." said Harry. "I'll make sure I come out unscratched."

"Be careful. I don't vant to haffe to rub ice all over you." said Kurt.

"Don't worry, I much rather have a pretty girl rub ice on me." smirked Harry. Then, Harry lowered his voice. "Did you put that thing I asked you near the arena?"

Kurt nodded. "I coffered it vith grass zo no one will zee it." said Kurt.

"Good." said Harry.

"Alright, everyone who's not a champion, please leave!" said a familiar voice. Harry turned and saw that Percy Weasley was coming in.

"Percy?" said Ginny.

"Ginny? What are you doing here? Champion only, so please get out." said Percy.

"Alright, we're leaving," said Ginny. "Good luck." said Ginny as she gave Harry a hug.

Peter and Kurt left with Ginny to go to the seat Bobby and Hermione kept for them.

"So, what are you doing here again Percy?" asked Harry.

"I'm one of the judge." said Percy. "I've been assigned to take over ever since… you know. Mr Crouch got arrested."

"Alright, champions gather around." called Percy. "I'm going to be offering you all bags and you will randomly pick the order you will be going…. Where is that bag?"

Mr Bagman entered the tent with the bag. "Sorry I'm late. The bag was missing for a moment and I had look for it." Bagman handed Percy the bag.

"Anyway, in this bag, you will be picking the model of thing you are about to face. And your task is to collect the golden egg." said Percy.

"Alright then. Shall we start picking? I believe the audiences are ready." said Mr Bagman.

"Miss Delacour first." said Percy as he opened the bag. Fleur reached into the bag and pulled out a model of dragon that had the number two around its neck.

"The Welsh green. Going second." said Mr Bagman.

Viktor pulled out a red dragon from the bag with number one. "The Chinese fireball. Going first."

Aiden pulled out a greyish dragon with number three. "The Swedish short snout. Going third."

Harry put his hand in the bag and pulled out a black dragon with number three. "The Hungarian Horntail. Going last." Harry inwardly groaned. Out of all the dragons, he had to pick the most dangerous.

"There you have it. These are the dragons you will be facing. Now, Mr Krum? Your task will start in 10 minute. Please be ready and remember, you may only bring your wand." said Mr Bagman. "Good luck to you all!"

Harry sat on the bench waiting. After Viktor entered the arena, growls and crowd's creams could be heard. More growling, crowd cheering and gasping. About twenty minutes later, Viktor came back to the tent with scorched hair and a large golden egg.

Then Fleur entered. This time, it was relatively more quiet but the crowd still gasped and cheered at the end. Fleur emerged with slightly burnt robe and a golden egg.

Then, it was Aiden's turn. Aiden entered the arena shakily.

"Our third champion, from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mr Aiden Potter!" announced Bagman.

Aiden entered the arena and faced the blueish silvery Swedish short snout. The dragon looked at Aiden and protectively covered its egg nest with its tail. At a closer look, one could see that there were gashes on the dragon's leg.

The dragon let out a jet of blue flame. Aiden managed to dodge it but his arm still got slightly burnt.

"What was the spell again?" thought Aiden. Few days ago, after Hagrid took him to see the dragons, someone sent him a letter that said summon your broom to get past the dragon. He didn't know who it was from but that didn't matter. What mattered was to remember that spell.

"I remember. Accio broom!" said Aiden. Aiden's Nimbus broom came flying towards him and Aiden jumped on it and flew to the sky.

"Aiden Potter has got a broom! The Boy-Who-Lived sure is a great flyer!" said Bagman.

Aiden begin to circle around the dragon to see the opportunity to swipe the golden egg from the dragon. But what he failed to realize was that his action was irritating the dragon. The dragon was already in a bad mood due to its injury and a small human circling around its head was not improving her mood.

The dragon released several blue flames at the Aiden. Aiden narrowly dodged most of them, but his broom caught on fire.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore was watching the task anxiously. He had sent Aiden the message and went to the dragon's cage last night and attacked the dragon from outside, making sure to injure it, in hopes that it will make Aiden's task easier. What he didn't think through was that injured animals were usually far more aggressive than normal animals.

He had to do something quickly. Dumbledore secretly pulled out his wand and from under the judge table, muttered a fire cooling charm.

The spell hit the flame that was approaching Aiden and the went by Aiden without burning him.

Aiden finally saw his chance and swooped down to take the golden egg and took it. Then he raced out of the arena through his broom.

When Aiden returned with his golden egg, Harry stood up and cracked his knuckles. "Remember the plan." He reminded himself.

"Last but not least, representing Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, Harry Potter!" announced Bagman.

Harry entered the arena and could see hundreds of people. Harry saw his friends and everyone at the Xavier institute sitting on one side of the arena, all cheering. And in the middle of the arena, stood the enormous black Hungarian Horntail.

The horntail looked at Harry with its yellow eyes and let out a ferocious growl. Then, it let out a searing flame towards Harry. Harry managed to hide behind a boulder just in time.

"Accio projector!" yelled Harry. Out of the arena, a small circular disk came flying towards him. The crowd looked confused at why Harry summoned something that seemed useless, with the exception of Dr McCoy and few people.

Harry quickly put the projector on the ground and set it up. "Just like practice." muttered Harry and he pressed the button.

A large holographic T Rex came out and let out its trademark roar. The crowd gasped at a sudden appearance of a large dinosaur.

"That's incredible! Did Mr Potter summon that?" yelled Bagman.

The Horntail looked surprised at first but then roared back at the T Rex. The T Rex and the dragon stared off at each other until the Horntail once again let out its flame.

Using that as the chace, Harry quietly begin to sneak towards the dragon's eggs. The Horntail finished breathing fire and looked at where the T Rex was standing. To the dragon's and the crowd's shock, once the smoke cleared, the T Rex was still standing there, without any trace of damage. The Horntail swished its spiky tail at the T Rex and the tail went right through the T Rex.

"I see ladies and gentlemen. That was an image! It was a distraction for the dragon!" yelled Bagman.

Harry had arrived on the dragon's nest and picked up the golden egg that was between real dragon eggs. Harry had to move quickly, the dragon would soon realize that the T Rex was just an image.

"Accio projector!" yelled Harry and the projector came flying to him. Harry quickly switched it off and turned on the next file.

The crowd gasped while the muggle borns and some half bloods begin to laugh and cheer. Huge white humanoid figure appeared in front of the dragon. It was wearing a sailor cap.

It was the Stay Puft marshmallow man.

The dragon once again looked surprised at the sudden appearance at a strange thing. Not missing the chance, Harry ran to the entrance he came in through. Before he returned to the tent, he said "Accio projector." and caught the projector that came to him.

Harry wiped off the sweat on his forehead. "Thank goodness that didn't malfunction." thought Harry. "I chose the right movies."

Soon, Harry's friends and everyone from Xavier institute except Professor X came in.

"That was brilliant Harry!" said Hermione.

"You managed to come out unhurt!" smiled Ginny.

"What was that thing you summoned?" said Neville.

"A hologram projector. It shows images." said Harry.

"Was that why you asked me for my Ghostbusters DVD?" asked Kitty.

"And what you meant by download Jurassic Park?" asked Bobby.

"Yep. King Kong and Jaws was also a consideration but I thought a T Rex and a giant marshmallow man would look better." said Harry.

"That was very wise Harry." said Jean. "Very nice thinking."

"Misdirection. Classic but useful." said Logan.

"Everyone, I believe the judges will be announcing the scores soon. We should go and see." said Scott.

Everyone left the tent together to see the judges give the score.

"The judges had made their decision. Each judge will give a score out of 10 so the total point will be 60." said Bagman. "First, Mr Viktor Krum!"

Karkaroff shot up 10, Maxime shot 6, Professor Xavier wrote 7, Dumbledore gave 5 and Percy and Bagman gave him 6.

"What's up with his score?" asked Harry.

"Krum used some sort of eye curse on the dragon, it was able to subdue the dragon but the dragon thrashed and destroyed half the eggs." said Ginny.

"Apparently one of the rule was there should be no damage done to the eggs." said Neville.

"And Karkaroff is obviously being biased for his own school." said Bobby.

"That's total of 40 out of 60. Well done Mr Krum." said Bagman. "Next, Ms Fleur Delacour."

Karkaroff shot up 4, Maxime shot 8, Professor Xavier wrote 9, Dumbledore gave 6, Percy gave an 8 and Bagman gave 9.

"What did Fleur do?" asked Harry.

"She put the dragon to sleep but the dragon snored and fire came out and burnt part of her robe." explained Luna.

"44 out of 60. Brilliant Ms Delacour!" said Bagman. "Now, Mr Aiden Potter."

Karkaroff shot up 4, Maxime shot 7, Professor Xavier wrote 7, Dumbledore gave 10, Percy gave an 7 and Bagman gave a 8.

"43 out of 60. Good job Mr Aiden Potter. Now, last but not least, Mr Harry Potter." said Bagman.

Karkaroff shot up 4, Maxime shot 9, Professor Xavier wrote 9, Dumbledore gave 0, Percy gave an 9 and Bagman gave 10.

The crowd booed when they saw Dumbledore's low score.

"That's odd. Professor Dumbledore, may I ask what is your reason for such low score? I don't think anyone today actually deserved a zero." said Bagman.

"This is a magical tournament. Mr Harry Potter has used a muggle technology. Therefore, I believe he deserves a zero." said Dumbledore.

"While that's true, but in what section in the rule says that the so called Muggle technology are banned?" asked Professor Xavier.

"I believe there are no such rule." said Percy.

"Also, didn't Mr Potter use magic to summon 'is leetle device?" pointed out Madame Maxime.

"Besides, I believe this is a competition that tests out the student's wit and strength." said Bagman. "Sure, it was out of box, but you can't deny that that was pretty clever."

"Regardless of what you say, my thought will not change. I believe my score is fair." said Dumbledore said stubbornly.

"Really? You believe on being fair?" said Professor X. "Because I don't think your action during the task was hardly fair."

Other judges looked at Professor X and Dumbledore and confusion. "I-I don't know what you are saying…"

"I'm sure you do. Didn't you wonder how Aiden Potter got hit by one of the fire and yet came out without any damage?" asked Professor X.

Dumbledore paled when he heard that. "What are you trying to sai Professor Xavier?" asked Madame Maxime.

"I sensed one of the judges thinking about using a magic. When I looked at the judges, I saw Professor Dumbledore waving a wand under the table."

Other judges turned to Dumbledore. "Eez zis true Dumbly-dorr?" demanded Madame Maxime.

"I err…" said Dumbledore.

"I can sense if you are lying. I can also ask one of my staff to get a lie detector. Are you sure you want to drag the situation to that?" asked Professor X.

Dumbledore mentally cursed. "Yes, I admit it. I used a fire cooling charm on the fire."

When other judges protested Dumbledore continued. "I had a valid reason. If that flame hit Aiden, he would have more than likely died. The competition must be safe after all, since there were casualties in the past tournaments. Also, Mr Potter is younger contestant than other two contestant. Can you really blame me for trying to save him?"

"Still, it was an unfair advantage." said Bagman. "I propose that next time, all judges must leave their wands behind during the tasks. All those in favor?"

Everyone except Dumbledore said nodded. "Also Professor Dumbledore, the rule of the competition is that no judge or the teacher may give help to the champion. The judge must be impartial. If you do something like this again, you might lose your judging right."said Percy. "Now, are you going to change your score?"

Dumbledore grudgingly gave Harry a 4.

"Anyway, my apologies for the hold up ladies and gentlemen. Mr Harry Potter's score is 45 out 60. This means that we have Mr Harry Potter on first place with 45 points, Ms Delacour on second place with 44 points, Mr Aiden Potter on third place with 43 point and Mr Krum on fourth place with 40 point. Well done champions! Now listen carefully, Your golden egg contains a clue that can help you prepare for your next task, which will be held on February 24th." said Mr Bagman. "Champions, you make return to Hogwarts and take a good rest."

"Who's up for a victory party!" yelled Kurt and the students of Xavier institute and Harry's friends cheered.

Dumbledore was pacing around his office and he was not happy. Firstly, Harry Potter was still alive and didn't die in the first task against the Hungarian Horntail. He had hope that his low score would make the brat be on last place but in the end, he had to give a four.

"No matter." thought Dumbledore. "There's still two more tasks.'

Second reason Dumbledore was angry was Charles Xavier. "Bloody mutant." swore Dumbledore. "How dare he try to mess up my plan."

His plan to kick those mutants by labeling them as dark creatures failed since other two school threatened to pull out of the tournament.

Why couldn't people realize it was all for the greater good? What he was doing was right. Harry Potter must die.

He would have to kill that damn brat soon. Very soon.

A/N: Hope it was satisfying. I've been planning on Harry using a hologram projector in his first task for very long time. Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcomed!

Hat's off to Red Dragon and all those who suggested great ideas!

The Aberrant One: I suppose the line shows how delusional he is. He doesn't even believe what he already did was bad.

Greer123: Wade and I are fine. In fact, somebody called Randa1 gave Wade a weekend VIP pass of Chimichangatopia. He was very happy.

PikaMew1288: The difference is that the Horcrux was actually inside Harry all the time and thus Harry was exposed to it for far longer time than Ginny was. Size of the soul didn't matter

Gui Hawk: Yeah… About that. I know Bobby is gay in the comics but I was introduced to him by the film, where he's not gay. So, sorry. But Bobby won't be gay in this story.
