The Finals
As Harry carried Blackcat down into the dark room away from the manticore, they could hear the announcer speaking. He was calling out the next person. They sat in the dark room and waited. They could hear oohs and aahs coming from the crowd. They also heard the screams of the contestants as the manticore killed them one by one.
The door opened and a druid stepped into the room quickly and shut the door. His face was hidden by the hood of his torn cloak. As the event ended, they heard the announcer say that only two contestants and a second remained in the contest. Blackcat smiled and shivered. Harry held her up. The other druid walked to the corner of the room to sit. Harry's scar started to burn again as he looked at the druid.
"Harry. This is it. One more task and we are done." Blackcat weakly said.
"Are you sure you can make it Blackcat?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, and I feel really drained. I just hope so."
While in the other room, the group stood talking.
"Did Blackcat and Harry get past the manticore?" Asked Lei.
"Yes, but I don't know what is next for them. Blackcat looked very tired. That last spell she used took a lot out of her." Said Professor Lupin.
"Harry is there to help her. He has a good head on his shoulders." Replied Professor Pistor.
"That he does." Replied Ken.
Up in the stands the guards were watching Professor Snape closely.
"Do you know where your group went?" asked the one guard.
"I do not nor do I care to find them. Now if you will leave me alone, I would like to see the events unfold." Professor Snape said with a voice cold enough to send shivers down the spine of any Hogwarts student. The guards shrugged and turned away.
"Ignorant twits." Professor Snape snarled under his breath.
The announcer's voice rang out thru the stadium. Blackcat's friends looked out of the doorway to the battlefield.
" The last and final event for the two remaining contestants is the one on one battle for the honor of being a dragon druid."
Two guards opened the doorway to the dark room holding Blackcat, Harry and the other druid. Each person was dragged out onto the battlefield. Blackcat was tossed to the ground with Harry following. The other druid was taken to the other side of the ring. Harry noticed a liquid in the ring. Blackcat sat up slowly and groggily looked at Harry.
"Harry move away from that."
Harry moved as a blast rang out. The circle around them containing the liquid lit up with flames. They were encircled in a ring of fire. The other druid got to his feet. Harry helped Blackcat to hers.
"Let the final battle commence." the announcer said.
The other Druid advanced on Blackcat and Harry. He rose his hand and Blackcat was thrown away from Harry. The druid turned to Harry and rose the sleeve of his cloak a bit to revel a silver hand. Harry recognized this hand and backed away.
"No, get away from me!" Harry yelled.
Blackcat looked over and could see Harry was very frightened. She raised her hand and with a flash of light knocked the druid back. The druid's hood lowered and Harry's stood in shock. Before him stood none other than Peter Pettigrew otherwise known as wormtail.
"You." Harry sputtered out.
This event caught Professor Snape's attention. He could also see who was under the cloak. He didn't' want to admit it. He was seeing a dead man standing in front of him. The very man Sirrus Black was said to have killed. The dark mark on his arm burned more then ever.
"Yes young Harry, it is me. And your no match for me know. My lord has given me permission to kill you and I shall do as he wishes and continue to be his most loyal death eater." Wormtail said.
"You killed Cedric." Harry said as he raised his wand. Wormtail waved his silver hand and Harry wand flew away from him.
Wormtail began to advance on Harry. Harry backed up as far as he could, but the fire blocked him.
Seeing their friends in danger the group exited the dark room and headed out to the circle. The guards saw this and started shooting energy bolts at them so the group would not interfere. Professor Lupin was the first to arrive and saw Wormtail. His face went from that of worry to that of disgust.
Wormtail just laughed. He was inside the circle with Harry and a very hurt Blackcat while the others were on the outside. They were unable to enter. Snape got up from his seat and was watching. He took out his own wand and readied himself for the worst.
"Are you ready to meet your parents Harry." Wormtail said evilly.
"No, you can't." Harry said.
Blackcat was nearly unconscious on the other side of the ring. Harry could see she was in trouble.
"Before I kill you Harry I will take out your friend. Just like we did with the spare we had after the tri-wizard tournament." growled Wormtail. He turned and raised his hand to Blackcat.
She in turn doubled up in pain. Harry could see this and wanted to help her.
"What is this?" asked Wormtail as he tried to preform the killer curse, "she should be dead by now."
Harry ran to Blackcat's side.
"Blackcat!" he yelled.
Feeling and adrenaline rush and caring for his friends he picked up his wand and yelled at the top of his lungs "Petrificus Totalus!"
The spell from Harry's wand hit Wormtail squarely in the chest. Wormtail dropped to the ground like a pile of bricks. Harry sat down next to Blackcat. The fires around the ring vanished and Blackcat's friends were able to enter and help her. She was weak, but alive. The announcer chimed in.
"As the laws of our clan dictate the last surviving druid becomes that of the Dragon. Please second raise Blackcat to her feet."
Harry complied and picked Blackcat up with the help of the others.
Professor Lupin walked over to make sure Wormtail stayed down. Professor Snape was brought over to the group to join them.
"Glad you can join us Severus." Replied Professor Pistor.
"By force only Professor." Professor Snape said thru clenched teeth. He saw Wormtail and his face went a bit white.
"Its ok Severus, Harry's spell is working perfectly." Professor Lupin said.
Three Druids appeared in front of Harry and Blackcat. Each was dressed in long dark red cloaks. Their faces hidden by their hoods. Each also had a gold sash around their necks with the emblem of a white dragon on it.
The first one started to speak, " Blackcat, daughter of Morgana. You have proven yourself to truly be that of Dragon druid. Not only have you shown us true power, but you have also showed the ability to rely on others when needed. As such we declare you to be Dragon Druid."
A loud round of applause erupted thru the audience.
The second druid looked at Harry as the first druid placed a necklace around Blackcat's neck. The necklace had a charm on it of a gold dragon that looked ready to fight.
"Now for you second. What is your name?" The second druid asked.
"Harry, Harry Potter."
"Well Harry Potter, for helping out a druid in her time of need without care for your own wizard safety we give you this."
The druid held out another necklace. This one had a small coin that had the same emblem the book had in it.
"This emblem will show that you are friend to all druids. Should you need us for any reason just hold onto the charm and wish it to be so. One of the Dragon Druids will appear at your side to help you in your time of need."
"Thank you sir." Harry said in shock as he took the necklace.
Lei and Lil walked over and took Blackcat from Harry. Harry put on the necklace and looked around.
"Where is my book?" He asked.
"I have it Harry," Flare said, "you left it in the room and since it is a school book I thought it was important."
"Um, thanks Flare. I can call you my friend now right?"
"Sure, I would like that Harry." Flare said with a smile.
Harry smiled too, he now had two friends from Slytherin house and he liked that idea.
"Shall we get going now. I'm betting that the school is wondering where we are all at." Professor Pistor replied.
"Of corse." Said the final druid. He raised his hand and some druids came out with the portkeys that the group had used to get there. The temple was filing out as they grabbed their respective portkeys. Lei and Lil held onto Blackcat as they diapered. Each of the group disappeared and only Harry was left. He picked up his portkey and wondered about it. He was then teleported back to the Quidditch pitch.
