Once classes finished up for today, Severus and Harry went to their new room, which was Severus' old living quarters when he was teaching. The room looked pretty much the same as he left it, the only difference being an extra separate bedroom for Harry.
"We all get separate bedrooms!" Harry smiled with joy. "This is awesome!"
"Just to be perfectly clear, my bedroom is 100% off limits," Severus said as he glanced at Harry.
"Alright," Harry said, as Severus made his way to his old chamber, which looked the same as he left it. The room was dark and small, nothing at all fancy, but Severus didn't care for fancy or flashly. Severus sunk into his bed and did some reading for a couple hours. Then, there came a knock at Severus' door. He huffed, made his way over, and slightly opened the door.
"What?" Severus asked.
"I think its time to head out to Hagrid's. Ginny said he wanted to show us something."
"Alright," Severus said.
Harry grabbed his invisibility cloack and shortly after nine PM, he and Severus made their way over to Hagrid's hut. Once they arrived, Harry knocked on the door. Severus and Harry both glanced in shock at seeing a very well groomed and neatly dressed Hagrid holding flowers.
"Okay you're both here," Hagrid said. "I have something to show you both in the Forbidden Forest."
"Hagrid? You combed you're hair?" Harry asked with total shock. "What's with the flower?" Hagrid pretended to hide the flower in his jacket's pocket, as he picked up a lamp and began heading to the forest. "Well, hurry up!" Hagrid waved at them.
"Hagrid?" A voice called out.
Hagrid turned back at Severus and Harry, "Quickly put your cloak on," Hagrid instructed. Immediately after the two were hidden under the cloak, Olympe Maxime arrived and smiled at Hagrid.
"Hello, Olympe," Hagrid said shyly with a big grin, as he walked over to her and gave her the flowers.
"Hagrid, I thought you left? I thought you might have forgotten me?" Olympe said with worry.
"I can never forgot you Olympe," Hagrid responsed. Severus saw Harry making gaging sounds, as he looked like he was going to be sick. Severus rolled his eyes at the boy's immaturity.
"What is that you wish you show me? When we spoke earlier you sounded so exhilarated," Olympe said with smile.
"Something truly amazing, you'll be glad you came. Trust me," Hagrid grinned, as he led Olympe to the Forbidden Forest, while Severus and Harry followed them.
"How much further?" Olympe asked after they had been walking through the forest for about five minutes.
"Just a little bit more; it will be worth the wait," Hagrid said, as he led them further into the forest and into a large clearing where five very large dragons were being held in cages by a group of people. It took only a second for Severus to clue in that dragons are part of the first task.
"They're beautiful," Olympe gasped as she moved closer to the dragons. Once she was out of sight, Harry pulled the cloak off.
"DRAGONS! That's the first task? Your joking?" Harry starred at the dragons with shock.
"What part of three extremely dangerous tasks did you not understand?" Severus stated. "Dumbledore warned everyone not to just halfheartedly put your name in. Part of it is that they forced a age restriction on this tourment. Many people died in this tourment and it was so dangerous it was cancelled for two hundred years."
"Well..." Harry was cut off by Olympe making her way back over to them, and immediately he threw his cloak back over Severus and himself.
"They're so majestic," Olympe said looking back at the dragons, as Hagrid tried to take a hold of her hand.
"They are," Hagrid said.
"What's it like to be Game Keeper, Hagrid?"
"It's wonderful. Having to look and care for all these beautiful majestic creatures, I love every part of it. And I'm grateful to Dumbledore everyday for offering me the job." Hagrid smiled as he looked down, then back up at Olympe. "So... anyway... enough about me. What about you? Which side you got it on?" Hagrid asked.
"It is chilly. I think I will go in now." Olympe said, as if she wanted to change the subject.
"Eh? No, don't go! I've... I've never met another one before," Hagrid said quietly.
"Another what, precisely?" Olympe asked, eyeing Hagrid like a hawk. Something inside Severus was saying that Hagrid should drop whatever he was going to say.
"Another half-giant, of course," Hagrid answered.
"'How dare you!" Olympe howled at him.
"No, no, no... I didn't mean it like that. You don't have to be ashamed, I'm a half-giant too," Hagrid said as he tried to take a hold of her hand, but she smacked it away.
"Don't touch me! I... I... I have never been more insulted in my life! Half-giant? Me? I have... I have big bones!" Olympe glared angrily at Hagrid before storming off and threw his flowers to the ground.
"I don't know who Olympe thinks she's kidding. If Hagrid's half-giant, she definitely is, too. She is about a foot taller then Hagrid. Big boned... the only thing that's got bigger bones than her is a actual giant," Severus said to himself. He felt sympathetic for Hagrid as Severus lost someone he cared about because of a word.
"Hagrid..." Harry throw off the cloak. "Are you okay?"
"Just... Just..." Hagrid wiped tears from his face. "Just get back to the castle and go to bed."
