The next few days Fred, Harry and Alex sat together discussing what they think the first task might be, but none of them were struck with inspiration.

"Where's George today?" Asked Alex,

"He said something about going to see Hagrid" Fred replied.

~~~~~At Hagrids~~~~~~

"Well I er shunt be tellin' ya this but seen as its 'ur your brother I guess I can help ya" Said Hagrid, George smiled and followed Hagrid into the woods.

"Charlie!" George gasped surprised to see his older brother. Charlie turned away from the other men in the woods and walked up to George.

"George?" He said surprised "What're you doing here? And where's Fred?" George bit his bottom lip that's when Charlie assumed he knew what was going on. "Fred's entered himself in the tournament hasn't he?" The twin hung his head and Charlie sighed and ran his hands through his ginger hair.

"What're you doing here?" Asked George, still not too sure as to why his brother decided to show up on such short notice.

"Well I'm delivering the dragons" He replied as if it was obvious,

"Erm Mr. Weasley we need your help!" Called out a man from behind, Charlie rushed over and George and Hagrid followed quickly behind. One of the dragons were going crazy, fire flying out dangerously from its huge mouth. The spear like teeth turned black as the fire floated high into the air.

"Arg! That blasted dragon!" Exclaimed Charlie as he putting a stunning spell on the menace.

"What dragon was that?" Exclaimed George.

"Hungarian Horntail" Charlie replied, "Nasty creature!"

"Why are you delivering them?" George asked, then something in his head clicked "Wait... Dragons! That's the first task!" Charlie nodded. "I've got to worn the others!"

~~~~~~~Gryffindor common room~~~~~~~~~

George ran into the common room to see Fred, Harry and Alex but also three other Gryffindors' were in the room.

"Alright apart from Fred, Harry and Alex. SLING YOUR HOOKS!" Screamed George, the extra three Gryffindors' got up and dashed out of the room quickly.

"Good god what's wrong with you?" Asked a rather surprised Harry.

"Dragons! That's the first task!" He exclaimed breathlessly. The three in the room jumped out of their seats and rushed over to George. Clearly he ran all long way so they escorted him over to the couch and sat him down. Fred sat on the armrest, Alex sat beside George and Harry stood next to Fred. "Hagrid he just showed me, Charlie brought the dragons over from Romania!" Fred took a big breath which also sounded like a strained sigh.

"Thanks George" Smiled Alex.

"Now what do we do?" Asked Harry.

"I don't know we don't have a plan!" Exclaimed a frustrated Fred.

"I've got it!" Said George suddenly. "Guys you can use your brooms!"

"We can't we're not allowed brooms!"

"You're allowed a wand!" George replied. Fred smiled and patted his brother on the back.

"Wait! What about Alex?" Asked Harry.

"What about me? I can ride a broom I steal my brothers all the time and I just so happen to have brought it with me!" She said rushing upstairs. The three boys high fived each other and went upstairs to plan out their ideas.

############ The day of the first task ##################

Harry, Fred, Alex and Jessica entered the champions' tent, Fred and Harry wore the same Gryffindor uniform: A long battle uniform with a red torso and Gryffindor crest on the front and their last names written in capital letters on their backs. They had silver gloves and huge silver boots. Freds' long hair however had to be tied back so his long ginger hair would not fly into his eyes while he was fighting. Alex was jokily mocking Fred saying that he looked like a girl with his hair tied back. Both boys – and only the boys- wore red silk capes, small thin laces were tied around their necks in order to keep the cape there, these capes also had the Gryffindor crest on them as well as their surname.

Alex and Jessica wore slightly different uniforms: a long silver battle suite with a light blue torso, their last names also written on their backs in capital letters, their boots and gloves were the same as the boys. Their hair was tied back. Suddenly Rita Skeeter burst into the tent and walked right in on Alex and Fred sharing a comforting hug.

A blinding white light flash and the friends instantly tore apart from each other to realise that a floating camera had taken their picture. Rita smiled wickedly and entered the tent and walked up to the pair with her quill floating behind her.

"Well how simply... Stirring" She smiled as the quill began to write her lies. Alex sighed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" Alex snapped at her, Rita frowned and Fred leaned in and said.

"That's Rita Skeeter" Rita smiled smugly at the mention of her own name, then Alex burst out laughing and Rita frowned.

"Oh then you're right she is ugly!" She laughed, Jessica, Harry and Fred snorted with laughter as Rita raised an eyebrow at her annoyed. Just then when the laughter had ceased Rita spoke.

"Interesting... Well anyway if things go slightly, unfortunate you two might make the front page!"

"Oi!" Boomed a familiar voice from behind, Rita spun around to see George enter the tent wearing a gray hooded jacket and his woolly hat in his right hand. "Clear out now... Gwon get lost!" Rita looked back to her floating quill and nodded.

"Very well, we've err... Got what we came for" She replied, the feather of the quill brushed Georges' chin, enraged he pulled away and Rita walked of biting her lip, her quill followed closely behind.

"Stupid old bat!" George exclaimed walking up to his brother and Alex. Everyone was quietly chuckling at what the Weasley twin had just referred to Rita as.

"Alright champions gather around please!" Said Dumbledore after walking into the tent. The champions stood around Albus and just before Dumbledore could explain the rules he caught sight of George. "Mr. Weasley what are you doing here?" He asked puzzled.

"Oh sorry professor, I was just wishing everyone luck, later guys!" He said with a wave of his hand and left the tent.

"Now then in this bag are four dragons which match up with life size ones from Romania, each dragon has been given a special egg to protect an egg which you shall need in order to progress to the next task. It is crucial you retrieve this egg. Understand? Good, alright Miss McGuire you first." He said to Jessica, she put her hand in the purple satin bag and winced as something bit her forefinger.

"The Swedish short snout" Said Dumbledore as the small hideous creature squirmed in her hands. Dumbledore moved to Alex.

"The Chinese firebolt" Alex smiled and started petting the creatures head then started giggling when the creature failed to bite her. Next it was Harry,

"Hungarian Horntail" Harry sighed.

"Oh why me?" He complained. Fred chuckled.

"You're full of bad luck mate"

"Thanks Fred you're so funny!" Fred ignored the sarcasm as Dumbledore offered him the bag. He tried to not put his hand in, putting his hand in that bag and revealing the dragon he would try to out whit scared him the most. Never the less he felt he had a reputation to keep in condition, he took a deep breath and put his hand in.

"The Norwegian Ridgeback" Fred gulped at the small moving creature. Alex moved next to him,

"You ok?" She asked, Fred breathed in heavily and nodded.

"First Miss McGuire shall enter followed by Mr. Potter then Miss. Russo and then we finish with Mr. Weasley. Ready? Now Miss McGuire when the cannon sounds you will—" Dumbledore was interrupted by.

BANG!

The cannon blew and the tent shook slightly, Jessica walked forward, took a deep breath then excited. Harry chose to sit on his own meanwhile, Fred and Alex sat together on Freds' bed. They both heard an ear piercing scream and they both instantly jumped in shock at hearing Jessica's voice.

"Yikes that girl can wail!" Came Alex's sarcastic voice. Fred did not smile nor did he even chuckle, something was wrong. "Fred?" At the mention of his name the Weasleys' head snapped up.

"I'm... I'm fine" He replied.

BANG!

Harry jumped from his seat as did Alex and Fred. "...Harry" Alex started in hopes to somehow sooth him before he left.

"Good luck guys" Harry smiled nervously at them both.

"Good luck Harry" Replied Fred. Harry walked to the tents entrance and took a deep breath in. After Harry left the roaring audience got louder. Fred fell back down onto the bed and Alex dropped beside him.

"This is it" Said Alex, Fred nodded. "Fred are you scared?" She asked softly.

"Ha m- me scared yeah right, good one Alex" He tried to hide his fear but she could see right through him almost as much as George could "It's ok to be afraid you know, 'cause I am too" She said sadly lowering her head as she felt Freds' gaze on her.

"You are?" He whispered. Alex nodded, "Well then you're right I am scared and stupid because I only did this because of the thrill but now I see that I might have made the biggest mistake of my life!" It felt good for him to vent his feelings.

"Same here" A single tear fell from Alex's eyes and with that Fred put a friendly arm around her shoulders and hugged her close almost as though chasing away all fear and sadness.

BANG!

Alex pulled away from Fred quickly as it was now her turn to face what could be the last challenge she would ever face. Fred jumped up to and for a single second their eyes connected and fear flashed in both their eyes. Alex rushed out of the tent quickly leaving Fred alone in the dark, cold, desolate tent.

The mood in there was so dark and depressing that Fred was even scared for a second that it was the cause of a Dementor attack! Silence engulfed him as he waited.

Alex's Task.

Nervously Alex walked out and saw the stadium open in front of her, the cheering crowd growing louder with ever second, her eyes scanned over the rocks in search of her target. A glint of gold, the egg sat in the centre awaiting her hands to reach out and grab it. The crowd was silenced as a large dragon jumped up directly in front of her. Before she could think the dragon lashed out and its razor claws cut the front of her battle suit. Gasping for breath Alex sat up and clutched her stomach, pain washed over her like a wave from the ocean. Agony clearly showing all of her and she feared for Harry, Jessica and Fred. As reality hit her she glanced around the corner of the boulder in search of her now worst nightmare.

The dragon was gone, Alex peeked around the corner to see where it had gone when suddenly a familiar voice called out.

"ALEX LOOK OUT!" Alex jumped and cast a strange spell at the dragon, knocking it back it was George that had shouted from his seat up in the audience. Alex quickly got an idea, she slipped away from the dragon and continued to cast spells over her shoulder. The dragon leapt forward and grabbed her leg in its teeth. She yelped out in pain but then lifted her wand.

"Accio egg!" The moment the egg touched her fingers the dragon froze and disappeared. Alex held the egg high and Madam Pomfrey arrived on the field she grabbed her own wand from her pocket and touched Alex's shoulder and disappeared to the hospital wing.

BANG!

Nervously Fred swallowed up his fear and left the tent.

Freds' Task.

The crowd roared even louder as Fred entered, he glanced around looking for the egg. The quicker I find the egg the quicker I can get out of here! He thought to himself. He spotted the egg in the centre and the whole audience fell deathly silent. He trotted over the rocks when suddenly he was soaring through the air, apparently the dragons' tail had hit Fred in his stomach hardly and painfully. He landed behind a boulder, the air torn from his lungs, he lay there for a few moments trying desperately to get his breath back.

He sat up when oxygen returned to his lungs, he looked around the stadium and noticed that during his moment in the air he had dropped his wand and it was now resting on a rock on the other side of the arena. Fred cursed under his breath until he noticed something odd. Where was the dragon? His answer came all too quickly when he was lifted into the air by the back of his cape. The dragons' dark teeth clutched his cape tightly. The fabric of the laces cut deep into his skin, he struggled in the air kicking in hopes that the dragon may drop him. Because the dragon did nothing Fred reached up and pulled hard on the laces. With a hard jolt from the dragon as the creature crossed the stadium the laces broke and thankfully Fred fell to the ground next to his wand.

"Accio broom!" Instantly his broom came soaring over the heads of the crowd and into Freds' hand. He flew past the dragon and grasped the golden egg. The dragon froze and just like before disappeared in a puff of white smoke. Feeling like he could rest he clutched the egg close and let himself fall to the ground. Madam Pomfrey, like before ran up to him. That was the last person he saw before everything blacked out...
