AN; So, this is the first task, I hope you enjoy it.
Ch 13 First Task
It was the day of the trial and Harry wasn't to be found anywhere, the champions have gathered in the tents for interviews and the wand weighing ceremony before the start by Ollivander. Dumbledore placed around the tent waiting for Harry to arrive when Rita Skeeter arrived with Bozo behind her. "I am Rita Skeeter and I'm here to interviewing the champions, aren't there supposed to be four champions?" she asked looking around the tent and noticing three champions and their school's headmasters.
They look around not seeing the boy. "You think he coward out?" Karloff said making Krum chuckles at the thought. "I think he did." He laughs as Fluer and Cedric shook their heads disapproving the Durmstrang student's attitude for his fellow champion. "In any case we must continue the task as scheduled." Bagman said to everyone and everyone agrees as Rita about to interview Victor Krum when the tent opened by Ritsuka in the Chaldean combat suit making his toned body show, with him is Gawain, an old man with red eyes and grey hair with a woman with a red military uniform, black skirt, and white boots and pinkish grey hair. Everyone sees the man's red eyes and one thing is in their minds "VAMPIRE!" Fleur cried out as each wizard pulled their wands out at him.
"Well this is expected." He jokes around making Ritsuka eye twitch as he said that. Gawain and Nightingale went to their defensive positions. He held his hand in motion to stand down, "Introduce yourself old man." He huffed; he steps forward to introduce himself. "Good afternoon, I am Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg Ritsuka Fujimaru's mentor and as a judge for the Chaldea Security Organization." He bows to them. "But you're a vampire why would a dark creature like you represent a wizard?" Fudge asked still pointing his wand at the dead apostle, Zelretch just smiled "Because Cornelius, I have high hopes for my former apprentice and want to see what he is made of since the last time I saw him, and for the term wizard; its magus Ritsuka or Harry is a magus trained by me in magecraft." He said looking at them all who has all a distrust of him. "Anywho, shall we continue the interviews," Rita said as she took in Victor in a private room. After she interviews Victor, she then interviews both Cedric and Fleur then once she's down with them it is Ritsuka's turn. He was led into the same room as the other champions and she sat him down across from her. "So, Mr. Potter-" Fujimaru, the name is Ritsuka Fujimaru." he corrected her, she wrote down the name on her notepad "So Mr. Fujimaru' let's start on your name, what made you want to change your name from Harry Potter to this new name you've chosen? Is it an alias or a persona?" he smiled before answering her "I change my name because of what my family and Dumbledore did to me. The reason I have chosen this name because it fits in where I used to live in Japan." She wrote what he said before questioning him more.
"So, what's that talk about that vampire being your mentor in magecraft? And to add to this question what is magecraft?" she asked him. "Magecraft is the ability that combines science with supernatural means to achieve your goals; though I can't say any more than that, I can say that Master is my mentor in that study and taught me how to use gem magecraft." She writes it down and was now interested in more "So you are saying that magecraft is a combination of magic and muggle sciences?" he nodded as she writes "You said before in Hogwarts that you're the director of the Chaldea something, you look young to be a director of something big like that." He smiled remembering the good old days in Chaldea and how it was easier back then. "Chaldea Security Organization, I inherited that passion when the pervious director can't handle the position and gave it to me seeing I did a good job in taking command in situations and other things, though I should give the credit to my assistant, staff and the servants." He said compassionately when mentioning them, she took note of his tone of voice as she writes it down.
"You mention servants, what are they? From rumors, they can neglect magic is this true?" she asked the master. "Indeed, they are, my servants are familiars who have taken human to interact with the staff and help out in any way possible." She stopped writing leaving a pen scratch on her notepad. "So, they're not human?!" she asked clearly surprised at his words, he just smiles in response to her question. "I believe that is enough for right now," she stood up when he did. She held her hand out and he shook it. "Thank you for the interview and I wish you luck in the task." He smiled and walked out where the champions are getting their wands evaluated by Ollivander, "Ah Mr. Pot-Fujimaru glad to join us. Come, come let's start the wand weighing." He soon joins them as they lined up, Fluer Delacour, Ollivander took her wand "Hmm 9 and a half inches…inflexible, rose wood and the core is a strand of a veela hair." "Zee air from my grandmuzzer." She responded as she was given back her wand, next was Victor Krum "A 10-inch hornbeam wood Gregorovitch wand, quite a rare wand to obtain." He smiled proudly as he inspects it further "And the core is made out of dragon's heartstring, I'm quite impressed." He moves on to Cedric's "Ah, a creation of mine," he said looking closer "I remember 12 ¼ inches made from ash wood and the core containing a single hair from a tail of a fine unicorn male." He said looking proud at his work before giving it back to him. Now it's Ritsuka's turn "Ah Mr. P-Fujimaru, your wand please." He shook his head "I do not own a wand."
This was a surprise to everyone even Dumbledore. "Then how you'll compete?" Cedric asked the master. He lifts up his arms and glowing circuits appear on it, "I'll be using magecraft." Karloff scoffed. "You think that we believe that you can use wandless magic!?" he said unbelievingly that he can perform such feat. "it's not an impossible task, I've seen his craft and it's quite real," Zelretch said supporting Ritsuka's claim. "Surely that will be difficult to perform, wandless magic takes a lot of time to master, Mr. Pott-Fujimaru we'll get you a wand for this task and-" then a red beam of light almost hitting the headmaster's head as it leaves a creator in the wooden pillar. Everyone saw the feat before them and saw Ritsuka's hand in a gun shape smoking from his tip finger. "I…Uh…" he was unable to speak "Impossible you say? I am quite experienced in this than you, practically an expert." Ritsuka smirks at them as he lowers his hand.
"Well zis will vi interesting indeed," Maxime said impressed of Ritsuka's magic, Karloff stood there in silence unable to speak when Barty Crouch Sr called the champions in a circle. He then took out a bag and ask the champions to reach inside. Fluer took out a miniature Common Welsh Green as her dragon, next was Cedric who got the Swedish Short-Snout, Victor who has the Chinese Fireball, and finally Ritsuka who got the Hungarian Horntail. The small dragon seems to snuggle into Ritsuka's hand which to everyone's surprised when it does that. "Heh, I think he can smell Lancer or Sieg on me." He said to Gawain and Nightingale as he chuckles. "Indeed master, you do have that effect on some people." She said not changing her serious face. Zelretch and the others left to the stand where they are awaiting the champions, first was Fluer who lure the dragon into a sleeping trance; but without having burns on her legs, Cedric transfigures a rock into a dog but decided to go after Cedric he mange to get the egg but received a burn on his cheek. Victor just cast a binding spell on the dragon but lost points when the dragon stumbles on her nest crushing her eggs.
(Insert Prover) It was Ritsuka's turn as walks out of the gate everyone laughs at what he is wearing. He saw in the stand where Mashu and the Knights of Round, Reines and the four, Da Vinci with her tablet recording the event, Elizabeth, Kiyohime and Tammao cheering for him. Billy and Beowulf were there shouting for him to show off, Napoleon and Achilles also during the same thing. Next to them is Hermione and Ginny looking worried for him. "AND OUR FINAL CHAMPION IS HAR-RITSUKA FUJIMARU!" the announcer said. The horntail growls at the final master as it began to run at him still chained. He moved swiftly to the right and raised his hand and shot a barrage of colored gems at him. The crowd gasps at what happened,
The dragon reacted and breathed fire at him he held a blue gem and throws it on the ground creating a blue shield. They gasp at the shield after the fire is gone it shatters and Ritsuka swiftly ran avoiding the rocks that the horntail is throwing with its tail. The last rock he raised his hand and shot another barrage of gems causing it to explode. "FUJIMARU IS SHOWING EAN IMPRESSIVE FEAT OF MAGIC…WAIT I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS GEM MAGECRAFT EVERYONE!" soon the crowd is cheering for him to succeed. Then the horntail broke free of its shackles and flew in the air making everyone scream in fear. Ritsuka stood straight and held his fist. "Heed my call, come to me, Lancer!"
A red summoning circle appears as a pillar of light emerges from it; the light was bright that everyone shields their eyes. The slowly opens them and shock to see a young woman with blonde hair tied in pigtails wearing a black crown and cape standing next to Ritsuka. She smiles and opens her crimson eyes "You've called me, master?' she said. Dumbledore stood from his seat not believing what he just saw "FUJIMARU HAS SUMMONED A…A DEMON TO HIS SIDE!" the crowd went ballistic in fear of the Lancer. Hermione and Ginny were in a panic and turn their heads to the Chaldeans. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? RUN A DEMON IS THERE ON THE FIELD!" Sherlock looks at her smiling "Now Ms. Granger, Ms. Weasley it's just Lancer on the field with our master," he explains to them. "Lancer? You mean she's one of you!?" everyone heard Hermione and was more shocked to find out that she was one of Ritsuka's servants. Everyone calmed down as they heard her say that she's not a demon.
Then the horntail flew from behind Ritsuka breathing fire. Ereshkigal saw this and moves to action "Master!" she push him aside and summons her lance twirling it making a shield from the scorching heat. All of them are impressed by her quick thinking and some started to cheer. "Lancer can you control it?" Ritsuka asked the goddess, she shook her head "It's seemed she's drugged and can't think straight." She said as they move away from the tail. He landed on his knees and sniped a part of her wings. "We need to bring her down, Lancer!" she flew up making all gasps. She stops and summoned more lances spiraling around before shooting them like a projectile at the wings clipping them in the process.
She falls on the ground but still has some strength left. She started to breathe fire everywhere even the stands. The wizards cast shield spells, but some cannot so Ritsuka shot gems to them creating a shield for them. (Song ends) Ereshkigal flew down next to him "She's in pain and she can't handle it anymore, what have they done to her." She said making everyone hear her. "Lancer lets put an end to her suffering." She looks at him as he clenched his fist, she understands what he meant and knows what to do. she steps forward taking her stance "Leave this to me, give me magical energy master!" she cried out to him "I'll use a command spell!" he lifts his hand to her
"I trust you…Ereshkigal!" a red glow on his hand glowed and travels to her making a blue aura around her. She summons her lance again and cried
" A vast sea in the heavens...and a prison upon the land..."
She spun her lance in her hands above her head as it glowed creating lighting from it
"My heel is the wrath of Kur itself!"
She thrust her lance on the ground as blue flames made its way to the horntail making the sky grow dark.
"Appear, O scorching shrine!"
Rocks grew larger from the field making it look like a barren wasteland
"Reflect upon your behavior... Kur Ki Gal Irkalla! "as she finished red lighting erupts from the earth causing the horntail to cry out in pain. Then a beam of light arose beneath her engulfing her in the light. Once the light they all see the horntail dead on the ground and Ritsuka held the egg in his arms and that girl still next to him. She leans down and pets the dragon "May your soul rest in Kur." She said as tears poured from her face kissing her. They cheered for him for the impressive feat they witness, but Ritsuka's face nor Ereshkigal's weren't happy nor is his servants.
