Chapter 15: The First Task

Harry was feeling nervous for the first task. After Ginny attempted to calm him a little bit, he was feeling a little less nervous. Harry still had a lot of anger that Ron and to some extent Hermione only joined the guard to learn and not do anything else. Ron was also acting like a git ever since his name came out of the goblet and Hermione was supporting him. So one night Harry erased the memories of the training. He also removed everything they earned including their stronger magical strength. Harry then burnt their uniforms after taking them back.

Now Harry was in the Champion's tent outside the stadium that was even bigger than the quidditch pitch. He was talking to Ginny about the war which he loved. He loved the war because he could take his anger out on other people and because it could distract him. Unknown to the two Rita Skeeter was outside listening into the conversation.

When Bagman called all the champions over, Harry stood up with Ginny and quickly kissed her. When their lips touched a blinding flash of white light and a click was heard. When they pulled apart they saw Rita Skeeter with her photographer. When Harry saw her he knew this was going to be bad as his last interaction with her was also bad.

Flashback

Harry was walking into an unused classroom with Colin Creevey who told him he was going to do the wand weighing ceremony. All the judges, champions and a reporter would be there for the ceremony. When Harry entered, Bagman greeted him.

"Welcome Harry! This is Rita Skeeter, she will be doing a small piece about the tournament on the Daily Prophet." Bagman said as Rita scoffed.

"More like a big piece." She said, Harry immediately knew she was a bad person just by looking at her.

"Yes, let's begin. The order will be Miss Aquarina, Miss Delacour, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Krum and finally Mr. Potter." Ollivander said as Madisson walked up to him.

"Hmm, Dragon Heartstring, Holly, this is a good wand. Next." Ollivander said as Fleur walked up to him."9 ½, Rosewood and Veela hair." Ollivander said as he handed her wand back to her then Ron walked up.

"Ah, yes I remember this one. Willow, fourteen inches, Unicorn hair. Exceptional quality." The old wand maker said as Krum walked up."10 ¼ inches, Dragon Heartstring, Hornbeam. Great quality."

"Mr. Potter?" Ollivander said as Harry stood and walked to him with his Holly wand."I remember this one like it was yesterday. Phoenix feather, Holly, 11 inches long. Wait, it says it likes the other wands." Garick said as Harry sighed with wide eyes.

"Pull out your wands." Moody commanded as he pointed his wand at Harry.

Harry pulled out both of his wands as everyone in the room gasped at the one in his left hand. The Elder Wand."Dear Merlin, this can't be. It's the Elder Wand. Elder wood, Thestral hair, 15 inches. And this one is, dear Merlin. How did you get this wand?" Ollivander said with evident shock as Rita got an extremely eager look.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked as he recovered first but he was a bit angry Harry took his wand. Then was shocked when a voice said in his head 'you stole this wand from my ancestry Antioch Peverell and you somehow had my cloak of Ignotus Peverell.'

"This is a very unique wand. Yew wood and Elder wood. How is this possible? I didn't know you could have multiple cores. This wand is Phoenix feather, Thunderbird feather and Griffon feather. This is more powerful than the Elder wand and it only works for the head of house Peverell and Potter." Ollivander said with a look of pure shock. The rest in the room had wide eyes and jaws dropped while Skeeter was writing furiously on her notepad.

"Is that all?" Harry asked with an annoyed tone.

"Yes you may go." Moody said

Present

After that day the news was all over the world because of Skeeter and now she takes a picture of him simply kissing his girlfriend.

"Young love!" Rita said with a smile as Harry flicked his wand destroying the camera into dust and shooting Rita and her photographer out of the tent.

"That just happened." Madisson said with a snort as she reached Bagman.

"Vot did you need?" Krum asked Bagman

"Gather around, gather around." Bagman said as Harry walked to him and Ginny left to the stands.

"What's happening?" Ron asked in a voice that clearly yelled arrogance.

"In this hat there are different varieties of what you will do. To make it harder on you we added the best Aurors the Ministry has. They can use any spells other than the unforgivables. Alastor Moody will also be there challenging you. On the neck of each variety there will be a number that indicates the order from 1 to 5." Bagman said as he pulled a pointy hat.

Fleur pulled out a Common Welsh green as Madisson pulled out a Swedish Short-snout. Krum reached in and pulled out a Chinese Fireball as Ron pulled out a Ukrainian Ironbelly. Because he pulled out the Ironbelly it only meant one thing. Harry got the Hungarian Horntail. Harry's nerves skyrocketed as he pulled out a figure of the Horntail with a number 5 meaning all the champions would watch through the recorder glass in the medical tent.

"Oh fuck, just my luck can't get better." Harry muttered with a sigh as he walked over to a stool, not noticing a large beetle.

"First the war with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Then there was the whole Sirius thing and now there is a bloody dragon that wants to kill me. At this point it's worse then the bloody Basilisk and the stupid stone." Harry muttered darkly then the beetle flew away as Harry took his anger out on it by missing a spell.

After what felt like hours that was really about two it was Harry's turn. One hour before Bagman told him that he could also use any spell he wanted except the unforgivables like the Aurors. He also told him that the more Aurors he took out the more points he would get so Harry wanted to take out all the Aurors.

Harry stood up then left the tents and entered the stadium. In the crowd he saw Perla and Sirius as well as Mrs. Weasley, Billy and Mr. Weasley as well as Charlie. Mrs. Weasley was very mad about the fact that Ron entered the tournament and became too arrogant to form a plan and had to forfeit at zero points due to injury. When Harry stepped onto the platform the task began. Harry began running to a tunnel where he saw a recorder orb following him and he also saw an Auror.

"Hello there." Harry greeted as the Auror turned around and shot a spell at Harry.

"Reducto!"

"Protego" Harry roared

"Diffindo."

"DEPULSO!" Harry yelled. When the spell hit the Auror he flew backwards and hit his head on the cold stone causing him to fall unconscious and to have blood pouring out of his nose.

Harry walked through the tunnel and hid behind rocks as he tried to locate people around with homenum revelio. Harry saw five aurors left. It took Harry ten minutes to take them all out except Moody. Harry turned around a corner and shot a shield spell as a red spell whizzed past his ear and he saw Moody.

"Stupefy." Moody barked

"Impeio contra." Harry said as he shot the spell and hit Moody's spell that shot back at Moody.

Moody shot an extremely deadly spell that Harry immediately recognized. When he saw that spell he slashed his wand which absorbed the magic in the spell making it disappear. Harry narrowed his eyes then continued with jet black eyes making Moody flinch.

"Diffindo." Harry said as Moody dodged that spell but accidentally let his tongue flick out like a snake.

"Protego." Moody said as Harry growled then Harry snapped.

"PROTEGO DIABOLICA! MIMBLE WIMBLE! REDUCTO! LOCOMOTOR MORTIS! LOCOMOTOR WIBBLY! MUCUS AD NAUSEAM! CONFRINGO! SECTUMSEMPRA!" Harry yelled as Fiendfire erupted out of his hands as many people gasped at Harry's knowledge of the dark arts. Some spells hit Moody and others didn't. The Confringo gave him a few scratches and burns while he froze and fell on his jelly legs. He also got an extremely runny nose making it almost impossible to breathe while Sectumsempra caused many giant cuts and gashes to appear on Moody. After all those spells from the extremely powerful wand that was extremely good at the dark arts caused Moody to fall unconscious.

Harry ran forward to where he saw the dragon earlier and he found it still there in a defensive position. When the dragon saw Harry, it shot a large flame. Harry used the front part of the flame and turned it into a shield that was strengthened by the extra fire. The dragon opened its mouth to shoot more fire when Harry shot a beam of water in its mouth making it screech in pain as Harry became a lynx. Lynx Harry became a white cloud that flew under the dragon and picked up the golden egg. When Harry picked it up there was a golden spot in the cloud where the egg was.

Harry flew over to the judges as the dragon keepers ran to calm the dragon as it just saw that one of the eggs was a fake. When Harry landed he saw Snape there with a smile because Dumbledore had a horrified expression of worry and rage. The other judges were also a little bit scared but gave him his scores anyways.

Madame Maxine gave him a ten as did Dumbledore, Crouch, Bagman and the Headmaster of Ilvermorny Eric Ericson. Karkaroff had a rare smile and gave him a nine then he said that he got this score because of the use of the dark arts. Then Harry said some wisdom.

"There isn't any dark magic in the world. There is also no Light or dark side, it's just gray. Magic matters purely on intention. For example you could use a levitation charm to kill someone by levitating a sword. Or expelliarmus because you can knock someone off a cliff, killing them." Harry said then he walked away to the medical tent where Moody was awake and so were the other champions but Ron spoke first.

"You're turning dark." Ron complained and Hermione just nodded.

"That's a bit racist." Harry said then he turned back to his bed where he saw Ginny then began snogging her but Ron wasn't done.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SISTER!" Ron roared as he threw a punch to Harry's head that he quickly blocked then he blasted them away.
