"Ron, let's go," Beth shouted up the stairs to the boys dormitory. "We need to leave now if we want to get good seats!"
Beth was standing at the bottom of the stairs with Fred, George, Heather, Hermione, Marissa, and Lee, waiting for Ron. Harry had already left.
"Alright," replied Ron coming down the stairs. "I'm ready."
The group headed out towards the ground with Justin coming up by the front doors and grabbing Beth's hand. They were able to find good seats in the very front of the grounds with a good view of what would be going on during the first competition.
"Up first is Cedric Diggory," Ludos Bagman announced. "Cedric is one of the Hogwarts champions. He is in his 7th year and in Hufflepuff. A little background on Cedric. He is the son of Amos and Hannah Diggory. He has a sister, Beth Diggory. He is, well was the Seeker for the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team for the past 6 years. Today Cedric will be facing the Swedish Short-Snout. Please welcome Cedric Diggory.!"
Cedric came out waving to the crowd and flashing his famous smile. He walked right into the pen as some caretakers brought out the dragon. In fifteen minutes Cedric got past the dragon and grabbed the golden egg.
"Up next is Fleur Delacour," Ludos spoke. "Fleur is a 7th year student at Beauxbatons. Her parents died last year and she takes care of her younger sister. Today Fleur will be facing the Welsh Green. Please welcome Fleur Delacour!"
Fleur came out from the same tent that Cedric did with a straight face. She waited to enter the pen until the caretakers brought the Welsh into the pen. Ten minutes later the crowd erupted into applause after Fleur grabbed the golden egg.
"Third is Viktor Krum," Announced Ludos. "Krum is a 7th year student at Durmstrang. He lives with his parents in Bulgaria. He plays on the National Bulgarian Quidditch Team. Krum will be facing the Chinese Fireball. Welcome Viktor Krum!"
Krum walked out of the tent leaving only Harry in it. He climbed over the wall of the pen 5 minutes before they brought out the Fireball. Krum finished in 10 minutes.
"Last but of course not least is Harry Potter," Ludos announced. Harry Potter is the other Hogwarts champion. He is in his 4th year here at Hogwarts and is in Gryffindor. As you all know Harry is an orphan and he lives with his uncle, aunt, and cousin. He is on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and has been the only student in a hundred years to make a school Quidditch team in his first year. Harry will be facing the Hungarian Horntail, the most vicious dragon. Please welcome Harry Potter."
Harry walked out of the tent and straight into the pen where the Horntail was waiting. As soon as the buzzer went off Harry used the Summoning Charm to bring his Firebolt to him. He got on the broom at once and was able to get the dragon away from the egg long enough for Harry to grab it. Harry ended up in a tie for first with Viktor Krum.
"Great job Harry," spoke Cedric. "That was a great idea."
"Yeah, great performance," added Beth. "But Cedric should've gotten more points, but of course he had to go and get himself torched by the dragon."
"Come on," Fred said. "Let's go get something to eat. I'm starving."
