The whole quidditch stadium was packed with students and other visitors from across the continent to watch the first task of the Tri-Wizard tournament. The quidditch pitch has been changed and in its place large rocks were littered across the surface. Draco, Blaise, Daphne and Tracy were sitting with the rest of Slytherins.
"What kind of magical creature would the champions have to fight." Tracy asked excitedly
"Maybe a Manticore or a Chimera." Draco said
"We will see. " Blaise said
Just then a roar was heard and we saw a dragon being brought into the stadium. It was a Ukranian Ironbelly. Bagman began speaking in sonorus charm.
"Witches and Wizards the first task of the Tri-Wizard tournament is starting now. The champions must retrieve the golden egg which is guarded by the dragons. Now our first contestant will be Viktor Krum. He will be facing the Ukranian Ironbelly." Bagman announced
Krum slowly entered the arena admist the applause of the people. The dragon roared in challenge which quelled the cheers of the crowd. Krum used blasting curses around the dragon to distract it as he cautiously moved forward. But the dragon decided to spout up flames on him. Lukily he hid behond a boulder. As the flames died he casted a conjunctivitis curse on the dragon's eye. Loosing the eye sight made the dragon to be filled with rage. It began to thrash around the floor destroying many of it's eggs. Krum managed to take the golden egg during this time. The whole crowed clapped in support of him. He scored 41 points in total. The dragon handlers came and removed the dragon from the arena.
After some time the dragon handlers came back with Chineese fireball dragon. Fleyr Delecour entered the arena. The moment the dragon saw her it blasted her with a strong jet of flame. She hid behind a boulder to escape it. She casted many spells and charms but it never affected the dragon. Finally she unleashed her full allure. The dragon became more docile after that. Then she casted a sleeping charm on the dragon. It slowly began to fall assleep. After the dragon fell assleep she walked towards its nest and took the golden egg. As she walked back the dragon let out a sore and a jet of flames hit on Fleur's skirt and caught fire. She ran back embarrassed. The judges gave her 43 points. The dragon handlers then removed the Chineese Fireball after stunning it.
They returned with a Sweedish short snout. Cedric Diggory entered the arena. He transfigured several boulders into wolves and dogs to distract the dragon. It worked at first but the dragon burned him on one side of hhis face for his efforts. But he was able to retrieve the golden egg. He was awarded 38 points. The dragon handlers stunned the dragon and removed it from the arena.
They brought the Hungarian Horntail next. It was the largest dragon of the four. Harry Potter walked in slowly. He hid behind a boulder as the dragon tried to burn him with its flames. Harry casted a summoning charm and waited behind the rock. A Firebolt broom flew towards him. He quickly mounted tue broom and flew up in the air. He flew circles around the dragon but it kept a close guard around the eggs. Harry was able to goad the dragon away from it's nest and tried to take the egg by performing a Wronsky feint. But he was stopped by the spiked tail of the dragon. He flew up quickly, but the Potter luck worked against him as the dragon broke the chains that held it in place. The dragon began chasing Harry as they both flew away from the stadium. After some time passed Harry flew down and took the golden egg thus finishing the first task. He was awarded 46 points and became the leading champion.
Slytherin Common Room
"How can this be. The last month we saw Potter getting totally becoming an outcast in his own house but now he suddenly became everyones hero." Blaise asked
"They woud rather have a Gryffindor winner than a Hufflepuff loser. Draco said
"But still , to change so quickly like this. I don't understand." Tracy wondered
"They are sheep. They follow the shepherd. Nothing less nothing more." Daphne said
"Exactly. Lets get some sleep rather than talking about the morons in our school." Draco said
They retired to their respective dorms.
The next day's Daily Prophet was strictly neutral towards Harry Potter. They never mentioned Cedric Diggory in the paper infuriating the Hufflepuffs totally as well. Fortunately there was no incident as the next news took Hogwarts by storm. A week from now Hogwarts will host a Yule Ball. This news distracted everyone from other problems as they were busy trying to pick a date.
That night Draco snuck out of his room carefully. He approached the section of dorms for girls. It has a ward that set off an alarm if any bouys get inside the dorms. Slytherin common room wards can be easily controlled by Parseltongue so he was able to cancel the ward using Parseltongue. After that he used the map to locate Daphne. She was in a room with Tracy, so I walked towards her room. He performed certain detection spells.on the door and then casted 'Alahomora' unlocking the door. He then casted a silencing charm around Daphne's bed and locked the door. He walked towards Tracy's bed and applied a sleeping charm on her so that she won't disturb them.
He walked towards Daphne's bed and pulled off her curtains. She was shrouded by her white sheets. He slowly slipped into her bed and bit on her cheek. She woke up and panicked and was about to scream but Draco quickly covered her mouth preventing her from making any noice.
"Calm down Daphne. I am Draco." He whispered
"What are you doing here." She whispered back
"I wanted to ask you something." He said
"What do you want to ask." She urged
"Would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me?" he asked
Daphne looked a little flustered.
"Yes. I will go with you. Is that why you came." she asked
"Among other things." he said as he slid under her sheets and put an arm around her and was pleasently surprised to feel her warm skin.
Daphne lay still in shock and embarrassment . Draco smirked and kissed her on her lips breaking her out of her shock. She slowly kissed back forgetting her embarrassment. He deepened the kiss and inserted his tongue and began to explore her. She moaned into his mouth as he massaged her left breast. He broke the kiss and began to kiss and nip at her neck, she moaned as he twisted her nipple.
Draco drew the sheets down her body exposing her perky breasts. She tried to cover them when with her hands but he immediately stopped her. He then attacked her breasts with his mouth. He began to leave a trail of kisses along her breasts while he played with her nipples. She covered her mouth with her hands trying desperately to stem the sounds she made which ultimately failed as she began to moan his name.
He began to travel lower and kissed her thighs. She desperately locked her legs but he spread her legs slowly and latched on to her wet core. She moaned lowly and put her hands on his head . He began to lick her and began to hiss in Parseltongue.
"Draco.." she moaned in pleasure as he inserted his tounge and began to expertly explore her. She quickly came with a cry as she could no longer hold it in and began to pant and heave. He climbed upto her and kiseed her on her cheek lightly.
"Thank you for agreeing to go with me Daphs" he whispered into her ear
She looked to meet his eyes but immediately kissed him catching him in surprise. She broke the kiss and embraced him and layed her head on his chest and drifted off to sleep. Looks like she is firmly under his thrall, he thought with a smirk. After she fell asleep he cancelled all his spells and returned to his room and let sleep claim him.
The next day Daphne was very jumpy as he teased her by lightly pinching her whenever others weren't looking. Some Slytherins and Ravenclaw witches asked Draco to the Yule ball but he informed them he was going with Daphne. Up until then ononly very few knew they were a couple but the rumors travelled fast and the whole Hogwarts knew we were together.
That day Harry managed to smuggle in a note during the transfiguration class to Draco. It was a simple thank you note but nonetheless it secretly made Draco happy as his plans were working well.
