I know that the first chapter is a little light and it will be that way for a little while the real story should pick up around chapter four or five, as I am still working on it. That being said, Reviews help the muse work, so please review, follow or favorite to your hearts content. I ask for no flames but I do love constructive criticism. Also updates should be about once or twice a month, November being an exception because not one but two amazing movies are coming out and at least for Fantastic Beasts, I have a whole group going.

Oh and special thanks to my sister for being my beta.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, simply playing with characters created by a genius.

Chapter Two

The days leading up to the first task were torture for Harry as everywhere around him the looks of either sympathy or hatred followed. It didn't matter how many times he and Cedric snuck off to one of the many empty classrooms during the days between Halloween and the first task, which were few and far between, but the looks seemed to intensify with every passing moment. Harry's so called best friend, Ron was not even talking to him, set on the idea that somehow Harry had managed to put his name into the Goblet of Fire of his own accord.

After one such argument Harry was outside wrapped in his cloak kicking around a random stone he had found on the ground. Naturally with his head down he ran right into the tall and imposing form of none other than Professor Severus Snape. The tangled mess the two became after the collision would have been laughable had it been anyone other than Snape as he was sure to cut Harry into pieces for potions ingredients. The thought had Harry scampering up within seconds with many stuttered apologies.

"Watch where you're going Potter." Severus said coolly, while he regained his composure.

"Yes sir," Harry mumbled as he rushed off. A quick look at his cousin Dudley's old watch on his wrist reminding him that it was time for him to meet with Cedric on a strategy plan. Though, what they could actually plan was minimal considering neither of them actually knew what was going to happen for the first task.

Cedric was standing outside the abandoned classroom that they often inhabited when Harry came rushing at him from where the steps had just started to move, making Harry jump for his targeted floor and he just so happened to have so much momentum left following the jump that he had to skid in order not to run into Cedric.

"Hi," Harry said with probably the lightest hearted smile he had had on his face since his name had been pulled from the Goblet.

"Hi," Cedric said back, pulling Harry into the unused classroom without preamble.

Cedric's lips were on Harry's before the door was even shut behind them. He caressed and devoured every crevice of the younger man's mouth and Harry couldn't help but enjoy the feeling, that was until he felt the table push into the curve of his back and that was when he started to act in tandem to his boyfriend. His arms wrapped around the taller man's figure, pulling him closer until it was nearly impossible to tell where one ended and the other began.

Cedric's lips were moving downward, leaving tiny red love bites with every minute step he made, while Harry was holding on for dear life as an ache in his lower stomach stemmed lower making him stiff. Ever since they had begun their relationship, Harry had somehow always been the submissive partner.

In the beginning, the two had agreed to sort of trade off whenever they made love, but not even weeks after the first time, Harry had very securely placed himself as the bottom of the relationship, he preferred the reverence and care his lover took as he brought Harry to his peak, and Harry loved the look of adoration that Cedric would take on after he did the same.

Right now though, Cedric was beyond reverence as the nips were starting to get rougher and he was struggling to rid both Harry and himself of their robes, which was made much easier when Cedric boosted Harry up to sit on top the desk that had just moments ago been digging into his back. The robes fell fast and shirts followed closely behind so that both teens were left in just trousers and shoes and rather quickly Cedric was down on his knees working the offending coverage off of his lover slowly but surely.

He left a soft sweets kiss with just a whisper of his tongue just above Harry's waistline where he popped the button and dragged the zipper down from Harry's trousers so achingly slow that it had him groaning in frustration. "Not fair," he struggled as the tight trousers were loosed from his painfully hard erection. "Ced," Harry moaned softly, when Cedric's lips followed the downward path of Harry's trousers.

Right as Harry's weeping red head came into sight of Cedric's gaze, the older teen just stared and spoke softly, "whose are you Harry?"

"Yours," Harry whined and then Harry was engulfed in an incredible heat and the two could not have been more distracted if they tried.

Several minutes passed with the two men so immersed in each other that nothing would have mattered. As the pair were dressing and preparing to go back to their respective common rooms, Cedric picked up a small piece of paper that had to have fallen out of one of their pockets. "Harry, is this yours?" Cedric asked showing Harry the tiny note written on muggle notebook paper.

"I don't think so," Harry said taking the note and looking at it, "but I think it may be a good idea if we both read it." He said quickly showing the actual words on the note to his lover and they both looked at one another, terror written on their faces.

"They cannot be serious," Cedric said taking the note from Harry's hand, and turning it backwards and forwards and this and that as he paced along the classroom. This is, Merlin Harry this is suicide!" He shouted, his eyes as big as saucers as he takes in the words.

"Maybe it's a joke," Harry said weakly with a shaky little laugh trying to calm down his irate boyfriend.

"If this is a joke, then whoever wrote it has a sick sense of humor, this is beyond dangerous." Cedric raged on, throwing the piece of paper away from him. As he and Harry left the room, the tiny piece of paper showed the words, 'Your first task is to retrieve an egg, from a nesting dragon.'
