Chapter 9

Leo ran over to one of the four piles. A sign in front of it read "Chinese Fireball."

"These are really weird names," Calypso said. Leo turned around to see Calypso looking at another sign that read "Swedish Short-Snout." Leo walked over to another pile to read its sign. It read "Hungarian Horntail." The last one read "Common Welsh Green."

"I suggest we start with the Common Welsh there." Charlie walked up to Leo, followed by about ten other wizards and witches. "It's the calmest one. Do you have the blueprints?" Calypso waved the blueprints she was holding. "Excellent. So," he turned to the others, "Leo will be the head of this project because he knows so much about mechanics. We're here to help with their behavior and crap. So, Leo, do you have instructions?"

Leo began to explain what the first thing they needed to do was and what parts they needed first. Charlie's buddies used magic to get down the first parts without taking the entire pile down, and Leo began working. Calypso helped him put pieces together, and directed what parts they needed. By lunch, they had the entire head of the Common Welsh put together. Just as they were about to head inside to the Great Hall, their lunches appeared out of thin air. A note attached to the plates read Dobby insisted that he send you lunch. –Dumbledore. Calypso smiled.

"Dobby's so sweet!"

"Yeah, and a good chef, too," Leo said as he dug into his food.

Charlie joined them with his sandwich. "So," he said inbetween bites. "How's Harry holding up? I promised mum I would see how he was doing. She actually believes what Rita Skeeter wrote!" He rolled his eyes.

"Harry's fine," Calypso said. "Um—what did Rita Skeeter write?"

Charlie sighed. "She was supposed to be writing about all of the champions, but she only wrote about Harry, and mentioned the others at the end. She said a bunch of stuff about how Harry still cried about his parents and crap like that. Personally, I don't believe a bit of it. Rita Skeeter's always been a load of crap, but mum thinks she's tellin' the truth this time. Poor Harry's probably bein' torn to bits up at the castle." They finished their lunch and got back to work. By that evening, Leo had built up to half of the dragon's neck. He was planning on putting an on and off switch somewhere, but he didn't want the champions to see it. Dumbledore had told them to make sure people thought it was real so they felt there was real danger. The group decided to go inside for dinner.

"So, how's my little Ronny doin'?" Charlie asked as they walked inside. Calypso and Leo looked at each other, and before Leo knew what he was doing, he was telling Charlie the entire story.

"We haven't talked to him in a few weeks," Leo said. He didn't even know why he was telling Charlie all this. He barely knew the guy. Something about him just seemed so comfortable. Charlie shook his head.

"Ron's always had a hard time with being the smallest. He's the youngest brother and mum's always paying so much attention to Ginny, he just always gets skipped over." He looked at the two of them. "Just make sure to stick with Harry. He's gonna need it. Trust me, you just leave 'lil Ronny alone for a bit, and he'll come back around." Leo shrugged.

"I hope so. I don't know how much more Harry can take." They reached the Great Hall to be suffocated by Harry and Hermione. "Oh, gosh, Hermione!" Leo laughed. "I can't breathe!" Hermione laughed.

"We didn't think you would be gone all day!" She let the two go. "We're coming with you at lunch tomorrow, right, Harry?" Harry, who had just given Leo and Calypso a quick hug, nodded.

"This girl's a complete lune, you know that?" He laughed. "She couldn't think of anything else all day than whether you two were okay." Hermione blushed. "You didn't come for lunch, and I got worried."

Calypso smiled. "Dumbledore—well, Dobby really—sent us lunch. How do you know Dobby, Harry?" She laughed. "He was all excited because we're your friends." Harry rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Dobby is . . . well, he—uh—attempted to save my life once," Hermione frowned.

"You know he was only trying to help." Harry shook his head.

"Let's just say that he trying to save my life by sending a rogue ball after me." He laughed again at Leo and Calypso's faces. "Let's just go eat." They walked together into the hall, laughing to notice Charlie talking to Ron, frowning. They couldn't hear the conversation, but Charlie looked like he was scolding Ron. Leo and Calypso smiled at each other, knowing what he was talking to Ron about. Charlie looked up, saw them, and winked. He then quickly turned back around, frowning again.

"So, how was Festus today?" Hermione asked while they ate.

"Uh—good! He's just peachy!" Leo quickly took a sip of his drink. Calypso smiled.

"He's still unconscious, or course, but I'm sure he's just peachy!" They all laughed. Calypso noticed Harry wasn't talking much. "Harry, are you okay?" she asked. He nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He avoided their eyes. Hermione frowned.

"Have you guys read the article Rita Skeeter put in the paper?" Hermione looked at Harry, concerned. Leo and Calypso shook their heads.

"We heard from Charlie, though," Leo said. "Ron's mom is really worried about you." Harry shook his head hard.

"None of it's true!" He sighed, frustrated. "People have been giving me crap about it all day. With the first task coming up, everyone's looking for anything to make fun of me with. They've started making bloody badges that say 'Potter Stinks.'"

Calypso patted his hand. "Don't worry about them. As long as you have us, you'll be fine!" Harry smiled. "And you know," she lowered her voice. "Dumbledore read the article last night. He threw Rita Skeeter out." Harry's grin widened and he looked up toward Dumbledore at his seat in the front of the hall. As if Dumbledore knew what they were talking about, he smiled at them, eyes twinkling, and winked.

"You know, I think tomorrow I might want to go to Snivilous's class," Leo said, grinning. "I'm sure Festus wouldn't mind if I followed Harry for a day or so, and you know if some fire accidentally comes out of my hands—well—oops!" Calypso rolled her eyes, but still grinned.

"And if I suddenly turn into—oh I don't know—a giant, terrifying monster—well—like Leo said, oops!" They all laughed.

The next day, Leo and Calypso stayed by Harry and Hermione completely, never leaving their side. The first class they had with the Slytherin's, they stepped up their game. They headed out to Hagrid's class, Care of Magical Creatures, and made sure to stand right by their sides.

"Hey, look! It's Cry-baby Potter!" Draco Malfoy shouted as soon as he saw the four coming. "Well, well, well! Haven't seen these mutants in a while!" Leo clenched his fists.

"Lay-off, blondie!" Draco looked around, feigning surprise.

"Are you talking to me? Y—You're really talking to me? The grungy, messy janitor is talking to me?" Leo lost it. His hands caught fire. Draco leaped back. "Freak!" he yelled. Leo yelled out in anger and frustration. He threw a fireball into the air. He followed it with his eyes, saw it coming straight back, and somehow made it change direction and head toward Malfoy. Malfoy yelped and ran. The fireball chased him. Calypso sighed.

"Leo, please don't make him catch fire," she said, but only half-heartedly. She was actually kind of enjoying watching Draco run around, screaming like a little girl. The fireball was getting closer to Malfoy, but Leo wasn't budging. "Okay, Leo, that's enough." He ignored her. His expression was full of hatred and bitterness. "Leo? Leo!" Leo continued to ignore her. He squished his nose up in concentration. "Leo, stop it!" Calypso was starting to panic. "Leo Valdez!" When he still didn't move, she pushed him. He broke his concentration just before Draco caught fire. "What are you thinking?!" He shook his head.

"I'm sorry." He looked at Draco. He was facing them again, an expression that could either be pure terror or pure hatred. He saw Leo and Calypso looking at them and quickly turned, trying to get away as soon as possible. Calypso sighed.

"I suppose we can't let him get away, can we?" Leo shook his head. Calypso sighed again, and put out her hand. She held it out in Draco's direction. As Leo and the already shocked Harry and Hermione watched, strands of cloth gathered around Draco's ankles, making him fall. The strands moved up and tied his hands together, then wrapped around his middle. Calypso flipped her hand so that her palm was facing the sky, and slowly made a fist. Draco came zipping toward them, being pulled by the cloth. He struggled against it, but in vain. He stopped a few inched from Calypso's face. She smirked.

"Now, are you going to mess with us, with Harry and Hermione again?" she demanded, staring Malfoy down. He quickly shook his head. "Good. And," she added, raising an eyebrow, "we won't be mentioning this to anyone." She looked around at everyone around them. "Right?" Everyone nodded, too frightened to speak. Calypso nodded and waved her hand, sending Malfoy flying backwards. The strands of cloth came undone, disappearing into his clothes. He muttered something under his breath has he dusted himself off, slowly backing away. "What was that?!" Calypso demanded.

"I called you a freak!" He yelled. He winced as soon as he'd said it. Calypso clenched her fists, and lifted her head toward the sky. Leo watched as Calypso suddenly grew. Before he knew it, Calypso was towering over him. She was at least 9 feet tall. Draco cowered, looking up at Calypso a few yards away.

"What was that, you puny, little mortal?" She said surprisingly calm. Draco quickly shook his head, speechless, and Calypso shrunk back to her human size. "That's what I thought." When Draco didn't move, she added, "Go," in a very calm voice. She turned back to Harry, Hermione, and Leo. Harry and Hermione's mouths were hanging open, but Leo looked the most shocked. Not only was his mouth hanging wide open, but his eyes were bulging.

"I have the best, most bad-butt girlfriend in the entire world," he said, still gawking at Calypso, who had started blushing. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"And I have the wittiest, most pathetic boyfriend in the entire world," she said playfully. Then, as if on cue, they both leaned in and kissed each other. Harry and Hermione smiled and awkwardly turned the other way. It was a good minute before Leo and Calypso let go of each other. Suddenly there was a burst of applause. They looked around to see Hagrid clapping, tears in his eyes. They smiled and laughed, and then Harry and Hermione joined in. Soon all of the Gryffindors were applauding them. Even a few of the Slytherins dared to join in. Most, however, stayed silent, hating them for humiliating Malfoy. The rest of the day went on almost normally, though Leo and Calypso got a few terrified stares from people. Even Snape must have heard what happened because he left them completely alone. That night at dinner, Dumbledore and the Transfiguration teacher, McGonagall, seemed especially cheery that night. Leo had noticed that McGonagall was usually uptight and strict, but he had been told that she was very much involved in school spirit. She got very riled up at Quidditch matches, or so he'd been told. Leo looked up at Dumbledore and McGonagall, who both beamed when they saw him.

The next few weeks were a blur for Leo and Calypso. They spent just about every day out in the forest with Charlie and his buds. They successfully completed the first dragon after messing up and having to start over. After that, the other dragons were built fairly quickly. The only snag they hit was after they built the last dragon, the Hungarian Horntail. Leo turned it on to test it, and it caught him on fire. Charlie and the others freaked out while Calypso laughed to the side, but, seeing their faces, she quickly calmed them down, telling them that he was inflammable. They quickly dowsed Leo, who quickly explained everything in private to Charlie. He didn't really want everyone to know about his powers. After he had explained this, he noticed that the other wizards were having a very hard time keeping the Horntail under control. He quickly ran under the dragon, pressing a small button on its stomach. He had attached that button, programming it to only work with the fingerprints of him, Calypso, Charlie, and the other workers. The dragon began to sink to the ground, shutting down. Leo quickly ran out from under the dragon before it flattened him.

"I guess we should keep this one off," he said, out of breath. Charlie laughed.

"Guess so. I feel bad for the one that gets that bad boy."

They kept the dragons under control for the next week, when the first task was set to happen. Two nights before the task, Hermione was freaking out at dinner about the task.

"Harry, you need to be prepared! Anything could happen!" Harry shook his head and shrugged.

"If they wanted to tell us or want us to know, they would have. I'm sure it will be just fine, Hermione. Right guys?" He turned toward Leo and Calypso. Calypso pursed her lips, and looked at Leo. Knowing what she was thinking, he nodded.

"Um—we need to tell you guys something," she said, slowly. She looked around. "Not here. Let's go outside." They all quickly got up and headed outside.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Well—um—it's kind of complicated," Leo explained. He sighed. "Look, Dumbledore asked us to help with the first task, and that's why you guys couldn't come out to the forest with us. We've been helping them—um—set up the past month or so." Harry and Hermione's eyes widened.

"Technically, we aren't supposed to tell or show you anything, but—oh—Harry I'm just so worried about you!" Calypso said. She bit her lip. "We'll talk to Hagrid. I'm sure he will be okay with it." Hermione shook her head.

"Harry, you go. I won't. It's already cheating for you to go. Besides, I have a lot of homework. I—uh—gotta go." Hermione quickly turned and walked off. Leo raised an eyebrow.

"What's up with her?" he laughed. Harry shook his head, smiling.

"We're slowly pulling her into it, but she's all about following the rules. She hated us our first year until we saved her from a troll . . . while breaking the rules." They laughed and went upstairs to bed.

The next morning, Leo and Calypso ate quickly and headed down to Hagrid's hut. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They searched around the hut, but couldn't find him anywhere. They were just about to go see Charlie, when they heard a big rumble of laughter behind them. They turned to see Hagrid walking with Madam Maxine off in the distance, coming toward them. They giggled and waited for Hagrid to get to them. He walked Madam Maxine to the door of her giant carrige, and they seemed to get very serious. Hagrid mumbled something, looking around, and Madam Maxine nodded. Then, she broke into a smile and closed the door. Hagrid then came smiling toward them. He saw them, and his smile widened.

"What're you kids doin' down 'ere?" he asked.

"Hagrid, we were wondering if you could do something for us," Calypso started. Leo nodded.

"See, we're really worried about Harry and—"

"Yeh want me to show 'im them dragons, don't yeh?" Hagrid laughed. "I already told Charlie to tell Ron to tell 'Arry to meet me 'ere tonight."

"I'm not so sure Harry will get the memo if Ron is supposed to tell him," Calypso said. Hagrid frowned. "They aren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment . . ."

"What happened?" Hagrid asked. "Them two are just about inseparable!"

"Well—um—when Harry's name got drawn, Ron got all up in his face, and Harry kinda yelled back," Leo explained. "And when Harry told him that he didn't enter his name—well—Ron got just a bit upset . . ." Hagrid shook his head.

"S'pose Ron might not tell 'im then. Could you two do it?" They nodded, but decided to wait until lunch to find Harry.

"Harry!" Calypso called as they walked through the forest toward the castle. "Hermione! What are you guys doing out here?" Harry and Hermione, facing the river, turned toward them.

"Hey, man!" Leo shouted. Harry waved, but then frowned. He dropped his hand.

"Why'd you bring him?" he said coldly. Leo and Calypso turned. There stood Ron, not looking happy to be there.

"Look, I'll make this quick," he said. "Hagrid's looking for you. Tonight." He turned, and began to walk off.

"What, that's it?" Harry called. Ron ignored him.

The four went back up to the castle together. "How did Ron know about you guys and Hagrid?" Hermione asked Leo and Calypso once back upstairs.

"Oh, well, Hagrid had the same thought as us. He's going to show you the—" she stopped. "You know, I'll just let Hagrid show you." Leo nodded.

That night, Leo, Calypso, and Hermione made sure Harry got out to Hagrid on time. While they waited for him to come back, Hermione asked them about it.

"Do you think you could tell me?" Leo shrugged.

"Yeah sure. It's dragons." Hermione's jaw dropped.

"Oh, no," she whispered. "Poor Harry!"

Leo patted her shoulder. "It's okay. It's totally safe. Calypso, me, Charlie, and some other wizards built them. They're robotic, so I can turn them off if something bad happens." He paused. "But you can't tell a soul. Not even Harry." Hermione nodded.

The next few days were a blur for the four. Soon the day of the first task had arrived. Leo and Calypso followed Hermione and Harry that morning to encourage him. Soon the time came for him to go the champion's tent. Leo, Calypso, and Hermione quickly took seats in the stands and waited. After just a few minutes, the tournament began, and Cedric Diggory was called into the arena.
