The Hogwarts Games

Chapter 2, The First Challenge

"As you all know you are going to be seperated into teams according to your house. So for example, Ariana and Johnny you will be paired together and Mason so will you and Angelina. The first challenge is next week so get alot of sleep and study in your classes hard" The headmaster said.

We all got up and walked to our common rooms. Me and Angelina went down to the dungeons and came across a large oak door.

"Salazar"I said.

The door swung open and I ran through the common room and up to the boy's dormitory. I got dressed and immediately went to bed. The week passed by preety quick and before the competitors knew it it was the day of the First Challenge. We got into special waterproof suits with stripes that were different based on the house the competitor was in. We were placed in the great hall. There were four potions lab tables. Each had a house banner on it. I walked with Angelina over to the Slytherin table.

"The First Task is a Potion's Challenge, the easiest of them all. One person in each group will brew a fairly strong potion and the other will brew an antidote. Begin" Headmaster Donaldson said.

Me and Angelina decided that she would brew the antidote and I would brew the poison. I went and got the ingredients and began brewing. There were many complicated tasks in doing this. There was an ingredient called Honey of Helebor which was very tricky to find and one of my cauldron's exploded. Angelina seemed to be having no problem's though. Once everybody was done, Donaldson called:

"Stop. Now the person that brewed the poison will drink it and immediately the antidote brewer must force feed the antidot to the poison drinker".

I took the flask that contained my poison and drank it. I dropped to the floor writhing in pain and immediately Angelina knelt down beside me and poured the antidote into my mouth. Unfortunately Ariana's antidote didn't work and Johnny Decker died.

"The next challenge is in two weeks, everyone so be prepared for whatever it may be. Good luck to you all" Donaldson said to all of us.
