Chapter 100
The First Task
November 24th 1994
The Judges sat in their seats after all yesterday had been a very very scary day that would go down in history as the single Witch raid of Hogwarts.
(FLASHBACK)
The doors of the Great hall exploding open revealing a very angry Lily Potter here eyes locked on the staff table, for a brief moment Albus was baffled on how Lily had got into the castle without setting of the wards, he got his answer when he saw a smirking Kassandra leaning against the door.
"ALBUS YOU DARE ALLOW MY SON TO BE ENTERD INTO THIS TOURNAMENT THEN YOU BRING THOES THINGS FOR THE FIRST TASK!". Her wand was aimed right at Albus hey eyes gleaming with pure rage.
(FLASHBACK OVER)
Albus for the first time in decades now had a very short beard, if you looked closely you could see the burnt ends, Barty Crouch had a Black Eye, Bagman had a broken Nose and was terrified of sitting anywhere near the Lady Potter.
Hell, the only reason Lily had not faced charges was simply because Kassandra told them to take the punches like a true wizard, Lily was holding her Husbands hands tightly she had seen the Durmstrang Champion go against the Ukrainian IronBelly the Hogwarts Champion Cedric against the Swedish Short-Snout, they had just witnessed Miss Delacour win complete her task against the Welsh Green.
It will now be her sons turn and she was absolutely terrified however that terror soon turned into Anger when she saw the Hungarian Horntail, Albus Felt a wand stick into his side as Lily hissed into his ear. "If my son his hurt or Hera forgive me killed, you will wish your burnt beard is the only thing I would do to you".
Nick walked out into the arena only to take cover as the Horntail attacked him drawing his wand jumping from his cover the Dragon seeing her target, she unleashed a blast of flame, Nick however was faster yelling in Greek to the shock of many guests. "Ispida Pagou Khiones". (Khiones Ice Shield)
The dragons flames met the Shield of Divine Ice and was redirected back at her knocking her back away from the nest, seeing his chance Nick ran to the nest grabbing the egg he made a quick retreat to the entrance to the cheers of his school mates his parents were cheering as was his little sister and grandmother, but what made him really happy was seeing his Big sister smiling at him he didn't notice the chain holding the Dragon get unlocked by an unknown person wand.
The crown screamed as the dragon struck with her tail hitting the rocks near Nick sending him flying towards the entrance to his horror and sadness his wand was snapped leaving him unarmed the dragon handlers tried to subdue the Horntail, she however was having none of it unleashing her flames at them.
When she turned back to the small human with her egg ready to eat him, she froze at the new sight the boy had made it to the hole he had come from but in front of him was an older human for the first time in its life the Horntail felt fear.
Kassandra was not letting this overgrown Lizard get away with hurting her brother shielding him in her Divine form it gave Nick time to drag himself to the tent. "You made a big mistake Dragon you should have stayed down, Wrath of Zeus!". Kassandra yelled in great as the arena watched her left her spear into the air calling bolts of lightning to strike the Dragon from the sky knocking it out.
A very quiet Arena watched as the Queen walked out after her display, she wasn't bothered in truth she could have dealt with the Dragon in a more secretive manner but decided she wanted to show those against her Empire a small example of her power should they go against her.
Nick had broken not only his wand but his leg and arm were broken as well the remaining Potters gathered around him Lily had tears in seeing her son so hurt as Kassandra joined them.
"Kassandra something felt weird with my wand as if my spell struggled to come out when I cast it what does it mean". To his shock Kassandra had a smile on her face. "it means your magic has developed your wand was no longer suitable for you that were not recovered you speak to the headmaster about getting you a new one until then rest you did well today, I am proud of you".
Later when Kassandra met Nick in the Great Hall just as he finished his food seeing his sister, he got up confusing many people as Nick liked to have dessert before leaving.
"Albus I will be taking Nick here to get a new wand after the loss of his old one". The Queen informed the Headmaster as the entire GreatHall listened in wondering why the Queen was taking Nick Potter to Ollivanders and not his Parents or one of the teachers.
"My Lady surly we can have Mr Ollivander come to the Castle with some wands?". Only to see Kassandra smile as she waved off his concern. "Oh, forgive me Albus, while I am sure your Wand maker is a good one, I am taking Nick to Greece to have a Wand Forged for him"
With That said Kassandra and Nick vanished from Hogwarts to the City of Sparta where she would lead him to fine Manor just off the Market district where she told him the wand maker was the last living descendent of a powerful Mage called Imhotep and that he would make his new wand.
And what a wand it was its was a combination of Holm Oak from the lower levels of Mount Olympus and Elder wood dipped in the Blood of a Nemean Lion, its Core however was a Hair from Kassandra's head and its final touch was a Rune Lock keyed to Nicks Magic making him the only person who could use it.
The Moment he took the wand in his hand it had the desired effect of gold and silver sparks flying from its tip as the wand bound itself to its Master however when nick heard the prince of 600 Drachmae, he nearly fainted at Kassandra dropping a bag of 1000 Drachmae on the table before she left the shop.
When he asked her why spend so much, she merely laughed and spoke. "consider this and early holiday Present dear Brother, now hurry up your mother will no doubt be going crazy considering I told her we would only be 3 hours and yet we have been her for 6".
Later that Night Nicks wand was all the talk in the Common room they were shocked to hear the Queen had placed a Rune Lock on it as they were very Expensive in Britain due to the Lack of Rune Masters.
Up in the dormitory's however Hermione Granger had made her choice and had chosen poorly she was going home for the Holidays and while that was fine what she planned to do would put the entire Magical world at risk she would display her magic before the British Government during there last meeting before the Holidays and tell the world about the truth of the Spartan Empire, she didn't notice the Eyes of her Roommate Parvati Patil change from a very Familiar shade of Green back to her Normal colour.
