The Stadium of the First Task, Hogwarts

I looked out, and saw the Dragon's nest with the golden egg sitting on top of it. There was no Mexican Mauler in sight, so I decided to run towards the egg. Guess I don't have to use my wings at all then.

Crash!

A massive tail smashed down next to me, sending me flying off my feet. There was an "Ohh" from the crowd. I rolled down and got behind a rock as the brown dragon breathed heavy fire.

'Max!' Angel read my mind. 'Do you want me to control its mind?'

'No,' I replied back. 'I think that would be classified as cheating'.

'Well you'd better think of something fast!' she panicked. 'It's getting angry.'

What and it wasn't angry in the first place?

Use your wings, Max. Oh great, the voice was here as well. Very well, if that's what the voice and The Doctor wanted, I'd grant them that wish.

As the Dragon stopped breathing fire I whipped out my wings, and took to the skies. The Crowd looked stunned. Suddenly, a loud voice boomed over the Stadium, and I recognised it as The Doctor's. "Good Morning Witches and Wizards! I'm The Doctor, your fourth champion. Now, about fourteen years ago, Max was human, but not anymore, thanks to involvement from Itex. Now might be a good time to point out that she's 98% human, 2% bird!"

Chapter Six: How to shock wizards and witches – Twice!

As the Mexican Mauler prepared to breath fire at me, I took off, into the skies, and with the 'Ooohs' and 'ahhs' of the wizards and witches, I gained altitude. However, the dragon snapped off its chains.

Bugger. Still, I kept going higher, wondering how far a dragon could go. It still kept coming as I reached the clouds, were even I had trouble breathing. However, I decided to do something drastic. I turned around, and sped as fast as I could; now flying at the speed of light, thanks to my ability which I discovered when I went to Virginia. The Dragon was looking perplexed, as it soared down towards me a lot slower when I was going. I lunged for the egg, but it unleashed a torrent of fire causing me to tumble out of the way, and crash into the rocky grounds. Everyone grimaced. A few, Nudge, Angel and Amy among them, screamed. I looked up to see the dragon coming closer and closer, and just as it readied to unleash another burst of flames, I leapt up into the air, soaring towards the dragon.

Yes, I did say towards the dragon.

At the last minute I pulled up and soared over the top of it. However, I did not count on its tail, which I collided with and was thrown against the wall of the stadium.

Ouch. I mean, I'd been tortured by Whitecoats but Ouch; Ouch! Never mind, I had a egg to catch, and as the dragon turned towards me, thinking like the witches and wizards that I was down, I climbed to my feet, soaring again above the dragon, this time avoiding the tail and coming down to collect the egg.

(The Champion's Tent)

The Doctor smiled, hearing the cheers, evidently, Max had succeeded in collecting the egg. "Five of our six champions have now faced the dragons. Only one remains," boomed his old friend Albus. Instantly, The Doctor got up, and began looking around him, and saw an abandoned Cutlass lying on the floor.

"Ah, ha!" he shouted, picking up the cutlass and stuffing it his pocket, remembering that his pockets were bigger on the inside than on the outside. He dashed out the door, and soon was standing at the foot of the arena.

"The Doctor will now face the Salamander," announced Dumbledore, as The Doctor entered the arena, to cheers from Amy, Rory, the flock and River.

"Now then," The Doctor smiled, as he caught eye contact with the dragon. "Wow. You are a beauty, yes you are! Just look at those big wings and those... fearsome spikes and those, snarling teeth... and that fire!" he yelled the last word, leaping to cover as the Salamander unleashed a torrent of fire towards the Eleventh Doctor.

"I need to attract its attention," The Doctor whispered aloud, and climbed out, spread his arms out wide, and shouted, "Look at me, I'm a target!"

The Dragon snarled and let loose a ball of flame, but The Doctor was ready. He dived to the side, and drew his cutlass. "You don't wanna mess with me now! I've got a Cutlass! Never fight a man with a cutlass unless you have a cutlass in which case it's perfectly acceptable to fight another man with a cutlass. Then again, you may prefer a gun to a cutlass but me, never! Cutlasses are the best! Now, where was I?"

The Dragon roared in response and The Doctor hurled out of the way. "GERONIMO!" he cried, crashing into the floor and rolling down a rubble-strewn hill. "Ow, ow, ow!" he exclaimed, climbing to his feet, as the dragon breathed fire at him again.

"Look, a pigeon!" he cried, pointing behind the dragon. The Dragon turned, and The Doctor ran. Unfortunately, the Time Lord didn't get far before The Salamander unleashed a torrent of fire towards him. Diving out of the way, he dropped his cutlass. "Well, Plan A didn't work. Let's try Plan B."

He held out his Sonic Screwdriver and announced, "Hey, Dragon. Ever seen a Sonic Screwdriver before?"

There was no response, apart from a burst of flames. The Doctor ducked, and climbed to his feet. "Well, I'll take that as a no. Now then; the Sonic Screwdriver, if pressed at a certain capacity, can produce a shockwave which will cause even Dragons to shriek in pain. I've never tried it before, so let's see what it does!"

He pressed the button, and a loud buzzing noise echoed out of the Sonic, causing the whole stadium to put their hands over their ears. The Dragon let out a roar of agony and The Doctor sprinted past, one hand over one ear and one hand over the Sonic. He let go of the Sonic, and the noise was silenced as The Doctor leapt for the egg, grabbing it.

The Doctor punched the air, holding the Dragon Egg, brushing dust off his clothes and smiled, "And that is the most undignified way of getting past a dragon in the history of getting past dragons."
