A/N... Yay update lol well not that it has been that long since my last update. Well anyways this is a really nice long chapter and I personally like this one as one of my favourites apart from the one that I am planning for the Yule Ball... I can't wait to write that. This chapter finally gets into the action.

I hope you all enjoy it and please remember to review I get more motivation to write and update then. Without the reviews I don't feel like posting the next chapters and I have already started to work on the next one. It might not be up for a couple of days because I work practically all weekend but we shall see.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognise.

The next morning Mina woke up early and snuck off to go and talk to Setsuna, she needed to know who Sirius was. After quickly getting dressed she wrote a quick note to Ami saying she had something to do and would see her later. Mina left the note on the desk and snuck out and to Setsuna's office.

Mina knocked lightly on the door and walked in before an answer was heard. She was surprised to see Sailor Pluto standing there.

"Sorry Setsuna I should have waited until you answered before I just walked in here, though I have to ask why you are in your Senshi form."

Setsuna de-transformed and smiled at Mina. "It is okay Mina, I am just glad it was you and not somebody else, that would have been hard to explain. I was just checking the time-gates for any big changes because the first task is soon, though nothing seems to be changed."

Mina let out the breath that she was holding and smiled widely at Setsuna. "That is great!"

"Yes it is, now was there something you wanted Mina? You didn't come here for no reason did you?"

Mina giggled slightly. "Our plan worked and Hagrid showed Harry what the first task was. He had no idea I was following him and when we came back to the common room a face appeared in the fire. Harry seemed to know the man, he said his name was Sirius. I was just curious about it all and why he didn't tell me about the meeting. Is Harry in danger from Sirius?"

Setsuna indicated for Mina to sit down and placed herself in the chair beside Mina. "The man is known as Sirius Black and he is Harry's godfather. Black used to be Harry's father, James' best friend. Harry had no idea who he was until last year when Black escaped from Azkaban, a wizard prison.

Don't be alarmed Mina Sirius isn't a threat to Harry on anyone that is good. He was sent to jail because it was believed that he was the one that betrayed Harry's parents. This isn't the case though, it was a different friend of the Potter's, Peter Pettigrew that betrayed them and faked his own death making it appear that Black had killed him.

Black went after Pettigrew knowing that he was still alive, he wanted to protect Harry and get to know him. He helped Harry last year and Harry loves him dearly. He wanted to leave with him but Black said Harry couldn't because everybody else still believes that Black is a murderer."

Mina stared at Setsuna before looking down at her hands. "Are you sure that he won't hurt Harry and how come Harry didn't tell me this?"

Setsuna sighed and placed a soothing hand on Mina's arm. "Sirius Black is a good man Mina, he loves Harry very much. There is no way he would hurt Harry in anyway, he just wants to be there for him. As for why Harry didn't tell you, I am not sure. I would only guess that it was because the majority of the public still want Black behind bars and he doesn't want to take the chance that you will take the only family member he likes away from him. He doesn't know whether you would believe that Black is innocent. So do not worry, I think he will tell you when he is ready."

Mina smiled up at Setsuna and gave her a quick hug before turning towards the door. "I will not tell him I know about Sirius and thank you for your help Sets."

Setsuna nodded and smiled as Mina left to go down for breakfast.

Mina took her time walking down to the Great Hall for breakfast. She went to walk through the doors as Harry jumped out of his chair and greeted her with a plate full of food and a sheepish smile.

"Hey Mina, where were you? I asked Ami but she didn't know."

"Oh, it was nothing I just had something to do... So what's with the plate of food? Are you saving the rest for later?"

"It is for you, I was hoping we could go outside and find a nice place to sit and talk. I have a few things I need to talk to you about."

Mina smiled and grabbed the plate from Harry. "Sure Harry, let's go."

The two walked outside and found a nice secluded area near the lake. There were flat rocks to sit on and enough bushes and trees to keep them out of sight.

Mina sat herself down on a rock and turned to Harry. "So what's up?"

Harry paced around for a few minutes and Mina began to eat as she waited for him to talk. Finally he rubbed his face and sat down on a rock next to her.

"The first task is dragons, DRAGONS! Charlie, Ron's brother said something about trying to get passed them. I have no idea of what to do or what will be useful. How am I supposed to beat a dragon?"

Mina who had already finished her food laid the plate down beside her as she stood up to sit next to Harry. Harry moved over slightly and she sat right next to him, their thighs touching. Both were too occupied with thoughts of dragons to realise how close they were to each other.

Mina put her hand on his arm and gave it a little squeeze. "Don't worry Harry, we will figure out something. So you know we need to find a strategy or a spell that will allow you to get around the dragon with minimum damage to yourself or preferably no damage to yourself. What about the stunning spell?"

Harry groaned slightly, "I saw that being used on the dragons it would take an extremely powerful wizard or more than just me. Do you have any other ideas?"

Mina shook her head and the two sat in silence trying to come up with different ways .After about half an hour of thinking Mina spoke up.

"Okay maybe we need to think differently, we need to either figure out the weak spots of a dragon and attack that part or we need to think of your strengths."

"Well most parts of the dragons are pretty hard except for it's like eyes and mouth but it would be hard to hit that and as for what I am good at, well I don't think I am that great at anything."

Mina sighed and looked him in the eye giving him a small smile. "Harry I am sure there is something that you are good at and there are probably other spots on a dragon that are weakened. I suggest we go to the library and try and find out some more information on dragons. We can try and come up with your strengths later."

Harry nodded reluctantly and the two headed up to the library. Once they were there they collected a few spell-books and books about dragons, they saw Hermione sitting at a table working on homework and Harry gave her a quick wave before he followed Mina to a little table against one of the walls.

They went through all the books on dragons but found nothing useful most just stated that dragons were extremely hard to slay and most spells can't penetrate their hides. They then moved on to the spell books to try and find a useful spell but still they were coming up with nothing. The whole library was silent for a few hours until the pair heard very loud giggling.

They looked up to see Viktor Krum walk into the library followed by a bunch of girls. Mina rolled her eyes slightly and waved at Krum who nodded at her, though at their first meeting they seemed to bond after finding out about Harry being in the tournament he was colder towards her just like Fleur was.

She watched as Krum sat down at a small table across from Hermione and watched curiously as he snuck glances at Hermione he was studying hard and trying to ignore the giggling girls.

Harry looked up to see Mina staring at Krum and sighed as he clicked his fingers in front of her face to snap her out of her daze.

"Mina, I know girls seem to like him but can you please help me! It is hard enough to concentrate with all these stupid girls acting like children but could you at least not be one of them."

Mina blinked a couple of times before she let out a small laugh. "Oh Harry I am not interested in him at all. True he is famous and has that sort of dark brooding thing going for him but he is not really my type. He is way too quiet and well broody for my liking. Though I will agree with you that these girls are being incredibly annoying why don't we stop the researching for today okay? It is almost dinner time and we have been doing this for hours."

Harry didn't want to but he nodded his head. "We have been here for a while and I doubt we will be able to concentrate with those stupid girls. Let's go."

Mina smiled and jumped up carrying a heap of books and placing them on the returns desk. Harry followed her actions and the two left the library and headed to the common room.

Dinner was soon served and the two enjoyed a light dinner and then went their separate ways for the day. Harry spent the time before bed looking for more information on dragons and spells while Minako talked Ami about what she heard the night before and where she was in the morning.

The next day Harry and Mina met up in the common room before they headed downstairs for breakfast. Mina grabbed a big plate full of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast while Harry only had a bit of bacon which he took his time eating. After Mina had finished her breakfast and saw Harry was still on his first piece of bacon she turned to him.

"Harry you need to eat more than that. I know you are worried but we will figure it out, I promise."

Harry nodded and finished eating his bacon but was still worried. When he glanced up again he saw Cedric Diggory get up from the Hufflepuff table and a thought hit him. He turned to Mina and whispered to her.

"Cedric doesn't know about the dragons! He will be the only one that doesn't know! Madame Maxime was there so she will tell Fleur and Karkaroff was eavesdropping and will tell Krum. It won't be fair for him not to know I have to tell him."

Mina watched as Harry jumped up and went to follow Cedric out the doors. She jumped up and followed him stopping him just before he got to Cedric.

"Look Harry I think it is great that you are going to tell him to make the whole thing fair but he won't believe you. He hates you and I am pretty sure he knows that you don't like him very much, he was there when you were talking with Ron about him entering tournament.

I didn't know him at first so I couldn't warn you about talking bad about someone when they are there but I remember he gave you a death look. Then add that he doesn't believe you didn't put your name in the goblet and that he feels like his glory has been stolen from him, it would not be the best idea."

Harry crossed his arms and huffed slightly. "I understand that Mina, but I can't not tell him. It wouldn't be fair. I thought you would be one of the people that believes in equality."

Mina glared at Harry slightly. "I do believe in equality and fairness and I am not saying he shouldn't know, I am just saying that maybe it shouldn't be you that tells him. I will go after him and try to tell him about the dragons. It would be better this way because if you are late to class people will care more and think you are getting more special treatment because of being a champion. It would also be easier for me to talk to him and get him alone. He also doesn't have anything against me yet and unlike you I can flirt with him if I need to. I don't think your flirting would do anything for him."

Harry didn't like the idea of her flirting with Cedric but knew that she was right, Mina would have a far easier time talking to Cedric. Harry could hardly be near him without wanting to hit him for him beating Gryffindor in Quidditch the year before and the mutual distrust between the two. Reluctantly he nodded at her.

"It does make more sense but hurry up and don't be late for class. I hope you are able to find him since we lost him during this conversation."

Mina smiled and winked at Harry. "No problem, I will see you during Herbology!"

She then turned and ran after Cedric and found him standing out the front of a classroom with a few other Hufflepuff boys. She stood around a corner trying to figure out how to talk to him alone.

She finally decided that flirting would be the best way to go about this situation. She walked up to the boys and smiled her smile that made most boys go weak at the knees.

"Hi, how are you all?"

The guys stared at her as in disbelief and she looked down at the ground before looking back up at them. Her head was slightly bent and she was looking up through her lashes and pouted slightly, giving the demure innocent school girl look.

"I was wondering if I could talk to Cedric alone."

The boys looked at Cedric before looking back at Mina who smiled shyly at them. They nodded and Mina and Cedric walked off around a corner to talk.

"Well this is certainly unexpected you are Minako Aino right? The one mentioned in the paper as Harry's girlfriend. Why are you trying to talk to me, I am like one of Harry's enemies so to speak. Well not enemy but competition. Aren't you on his side?"

Mina giggled slightly and waved her arm around the air. "That paper is all lies, Harry and I are just friends. As for the whole enemies and taking sides thing I am not on anybody's side and don't think there really should be an issue. Besides haven't you heard the rumour about my friendship with Draco Malfoy? He is more of Harry's enemy than you are plus he is in Slytherin but still I am his friend. That isn't what I came here to talk to you about though. "

Cedric laughed slightly at her and nodded. "That is true, I don't really think people at Hogwarts should take sides we both need support. You do seem like nice person so I guess can give you some of my time. What did you need?"

"Well I don't need anything from you I am just here on behalf of Harry to tell you what he knows about the first task. The task is dragons; there will be one for each of you. You may not believe me but Harry told me what he was told and he thought that you should know to even the playing field as he is pretty sure that both Krum and Fleur know about the dragons too. "

Cedric stared at her before he whispered. "Are you sure, I mean is he sure? How does he know?"

"Harry saw them, I can't tell you how he knows I don't want to get anyone in trouble but I am sure. As much as you and Harry have your rivalry Harry thought you deserved to know. "

Cedric nodded and smiled at her. "Tell Harry thanks. I have to go to charms now or I am going to be late and you might be for your class too. It was nice to meet you Minako and I hope to see you around."

"Call me Mina and I will be sure to tell Harry. Bye Cedric."

Mina waved and sprinted down to the greenhouses. Lucky she was so fit, she was able to make it down just in time hardly sweating or gasping for breath. She smiled at Ami and sat down at a table and looked around for Harry but he wasn't there. She leaned over and whispered to Ami.

"Where is Harry? I told him I would meet him in class."

Ami shrugged her shoulders, "I think he is with Professor Moody. I saw you run off and him starting to walk down to here but was pulled aside by Professor Moody. So I assume he is still with him."

Mina smiled in thanks and spent the rest of the lesson wondering why Moody would pull Harry out of a class. She ended up covered in dirt because the plant she was trying to re-pot kept on wriggling around and as she was too distracted to notice, it escaped a fair bit.

Walking out of class Mina groaned as she tried to get the dirt out of her hair and off her clothes. She then saw Harry walking over to her with a big smile on his face.

"Mina, I know what... what happened to you? Why are you covered in dirt?"

Mina grimaced and shook her head like a dog getting all the dirt out of it. "Don't ask, where were you?"

"Ah, okay. Well I was with Professor Moody and he gave me a little bit of advice. You know the other day how we were talking about what I was good at, well he helped me come up with something I am great at, Quidditch. At first I didn't see how that helped but then he explained that flying could help me in this task."

"That is fantastic Harry! Though how do you plan on getting your broomstick there? You can't take anything but your wand."

Harry gave her a look that stated that he wanted something. "I need you to help teach me the summoning charm. If I am able to master it, I should be able to call my wand to me."

Mina's eyes widened, "No Harry, I tried remember. I am just not a very good teacher and how do you know that it will work for such a big distance?"

"Please Mina I am begging you. It is the best chance I have if I use the spell and get to the level you are at I should be able to summon my firebolt. I have seen you bring things to you from pretty far away. Please Mina I need your help."

Mina sighed and nodded at him. "Fine we will work on it during lunch, after classes and dinner."

Harry smiled and gave Mina a tight hug. "Thank you so much. We can use an empty class room. I will be able to find one easy! Thank you Mina."

Mina smiled and returned the hug. They then both left to go to class. During lunch they practised but Harry wasn't having any success. Then after classed and dinner they continued to practise but still Harry wasn't having any luck and was getting seriously frustrated. At about midnight he had a small tantrum.

"I can't do this Mina, we have been practising for hours and still no results. I don't know what I am doing wrong! All I know is that tomorrow I am going to fail and make an idiot of myself in front of the whole school. Everyone else will be proven right that I can't compete in this stupid tournament! I am so useless!"

He then flopped down into a chair with his head in his hands. Mina looked at him with pity and walked over to him and kneeled in front of him between his legs. She gently grabbed his hands and pulled them away from his face enabling them to look each other in the eyes.

"Harry you will not make an idiot of yourself and you are not useless. You are Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the boy that has stopped Voldemort numerous times. You are so talented and a wonderful person and I will not let yourself think anything bad about yourself.

Let's try this spell again Harry. Close your eyes, focus, imagine what you want to come to you, have a clear image of it in your head. Then visualise it with you, in your hands and remember focus. Then summon it."

Harry nodded and the two stood back up. Harry closed his eyes and visualised the book that was on the other side of the room. He then imagined it in his hands and took a deep breath and called out. "Accio spell book."

He heard something flying through the air and land in his hands. His eyes popped open to see the spell book. Mina clapped and laughed happily. "I told you, you could do it! Oh Harry I am so proud of you! I told you, you could do it."

Harry just stared at the book. "I... I did it. I did it! It was all thanks to you Mina! Thank you!"

He dropped the book and ran over to her and hugged her tightly whispering thank you over and over again.

Harry continued to summon things to him for another two hours until he saw Mina was about to fall to sleep. He then decided to call it a night and she agreed. The two hid under his invisibility cloak and returned to the Gryffindor common room.

As the two were about to part ways Harry stopped her. "What if the spell won't work from such a distance we only practised with things inside the room? I just wished I was a little more powerful"

Mina yawned and smiled sleepily at him. "Just remember what I told you, focus and believe that you can do it. Having confidence will help you and if that doesn't give you enough confidence remember that I believe in you. I know you can do it. Good night Harry."

She gave him a hug and walked up to his room where he entered. She then went into her room with a plan in her head. She waited around about an hour because she needed to make sure Harry was asleep. She didn't want him to wake up.

She then snuck into the bathroom and stuck her wand in the air and whispered. "Venus Crystal Power!"

The usual transformation happened and when the light died down she was clad in her Sailor fuku.

She then snuck down to Harry's room as Sailor Venus. She snuck in the door and made sure she didn't wake up any of the other boys. As she placed herself in front of his bed she called on her crystal. It appeared in front of her and she grabbed and whispered "Venus Crystal Power" The crystal started to glow even brighter and she held the crystal above his heart.

The light fell over his heart and soon engulfed Harry's body. After a few seconds Venus covered the crystal and held it to her heart and it vanished. She only held it over him for a few seconds because she only wanted a small amount of her power to be transferred to Harry.

She did this because it would make him more powerful and more effective at charms, which was needed for this task.

She watched as the light that was engulfing Harry began to fade starting from the outside and going in until all that was left was a golden light over his heart in the shape of the Venus symbol. Just before the symbol fully disappeared she saw Harry's eyes open slightly.

Venus panicked and was about to run when he smiled and closed his eyes and fell back to sleep. She let out the breath she was holding and left the room. When she was back in her own room she let her transformation fall and Mina felt how tired she was from the night. She yawned before hopping into bed and hoped that the extra power she had given Harry was enough to succeed at the task.

The next morning seemed to pass as a blur. They only had classes until lunch time because of the first task. Mina spent the morning classes watching Harry to make sure that he wasn't going to freak out before the task.

After lunch was finished Professor McGonagall walked up to where Harry and Mina were sitting and gave Harry a strained smile.

"Potter, the champions have to come down into the grounds now... You have to get ready for the first task."

Harry nodded slightly and stood up to walk away. Mina grabbed his arm before she threw her arms around him, engulfing him in a tight hug.

"Remember Harry all you have to do is focus and believe in yourself."

Harry gave Mina small smile and gladly returned the hug. "You will be there right? Somewhere I can see you? I need to know you are there cheering me on."

Mina pulled back from the hug and gave him a soft smile. "Of course I will be Harry. I will make sure I am clearly visible. You better go now Harry, good luck."

Harry smiled and walked away as Mina watched him walk away. She really hoped she had done enough to keep Harry safe in this task.

After Harry had fully disappeared from sight Mina walked up to Ron and Ami and bent down to whisper in Ami's ear.

"Ami I think we should go and see Setsuna."

Ami nodded and turned to Ron, "Sorry Ron I have something to do I will see you later."

Ron nodded and the two girls hurried up to Setsuna's office. When they reached the office they walked in to see Setsuna talking to Professor Sprout.

"Professor Meioh, Mina and I didn't realise you had company."

"Sorry Professor but we thought you told us that we had to come and see you. It was about the whole senshi business of the Silver Millennium myth,"

Mina said trying to put emphasis on the senshi part so that Setsuna would understand which of course she did. She smiled at the Professor Sprout.

"I am sorry but I did need to see the two girls, I will finish the discussion with you later."

Professor Sprout nodded and said goodbye to the three girls before leaving. The three then walked further into the office and took their usual seats.

"Setsuna I thought we should discuss the security of this task. Harry is going to be put in a lot of danger and I just want to make sure that if something does go wrong he will be safe."

Setsuna listened to Mina's words and nodded at the end. "That is a very good point Mina. The security consists of wizards on standby. This means that they will act if Harry gets burnt or is in the middle of an act."

"That isn't good enough Setsuna. What if they don't react quick enough or if they underestimate the strength of the dragon."

Ami nodded and thought up an idea. "Well you have a good point there Mina, especially about their reaction times and power. We have two times the normal wizards powers when we are in our civilian form and five times when we are transformed. Plus if we are using out specialist magic, for example water or ice for me, it becomes ten times more powerful. I believe we should all be transformed ready to act. With our extra power there will be no problems and plus our reflexes are a great deal quicker."

This plan was a good idea but unfortunately Mina and Setsuna didn't agree with it and both spoke up their concerns.

"I can't be transformed and waiting. As a teacher I am expected to sit in the teachers box and I told Professor Sprout that I will be sitting there with her. I may get away with getting away for the second and third tasks but for this one I won't be able to."

"I can't either Ami. I told Harry I would be sitting up in the stands. He will be looking for me, I told him I would sit somewhere he could clearly see me. Maybe we could sort of use your plan but with only one of us transformed and ready to go.

We could get you, Ami to transform and watch from a hidden point that clearly sees the arena but is unable to be seen by others. If something terrible is happening you can freeze the fire headed for him and create a mist to both distract the dragon and hinder everyone else's sight. Then in the confusion and mist Setsuna and I will be able to quickly find a spot to transform to assist you. When we are transformed I would be able to hold the dragon with my chain. Once it is contained we all send stunning spells at it and Harry will be saved and out of danger."

The other two nodded and smiled at Mina's quick planning. The three then said their goodbyes and headed in different directions. Ami found a secluded spot to transform and hid up on the roof of the school out of sight with her visor over her eyes so she would be able to see clearly, Setsuna headed to the teachers box taking a seat next to Professor Sprout and Mina made her way down to where the first task was being held.

On her walk down Ron ran up to her and smiled warmly.

"Hey Mina, how are you?"

Mina smiled at him as they started walking together. "Oh I am mostly fine, just a little worried about Harry though. How are you?"

"Yeah good, uh I was just wondering if you know where Ami is. I thought she would come and watch this with me but I haven't seen her since you came and got her before."

Mina blinked in response and tried to think as quickly as she could but no excuses were popping into her head. She could use the old homework excuse but Ron already knew that Ami was finished all her homework.

"Um, we parted back up in the castle. I didn't hear where she said she was going, sorry Ron. I have to go now I promised Harry that I would be in the stands cheering him on. Bye!"

She then hurried away before Ron could ask any other questions. Mina pushed her way through the crowds and made her way to the front of the stands so she would be clearly seen by Harry. She sat down by herself and she felt her hands shaking slightly from the nerves. She took a few breaths to calm herself down.

Mina almost jumped when Ludo Bagmans voice was heard throughout the arena.

"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the first task of this year's Triwizard Tournament. All the champions are waiting anxiously to show you what they are made of.

This task entails courage, cunning and skill. Your four champions must get past a dragon and retrieve the golden egg.

After each of the champions have competed the judges will award them a mark out of 10.

Now without further ado, the first Hogwarts champion – Cedric Diggory."

Mina watched as Cedric stepped out into the arena. He smiled slightly at the crowd and waved his hand. It was at that moment a loud roar was heard. Cedric's head snapped up and his face drained of all colour.

Mina watched enthralled as he grabbed out his wand and pointed it at a rock and said something that Mina didn't quite catch. The rock then started to grow legs and fur started to appear. She giggled along with the rest of the crowd when she saw a gorgeous Labrador. Mina felt a little sorry for the creature knowing it would soon be facing off against a dragon.

"It seems to me like Mr Diggory will be going for the diversion tactic. A smart move by the first Hogwarts champion.

Cedric started to run forward with the Labrador hot on his heels. She almost jumped up from her seat when she saw the fire headed towards both Cedric and the dog.

"Oooh, narrow miss there, very narrow. He's taking risks this one!" Bagman's voice yelled out.

Cedric then found something to throw to the other side of the arena so the dog would chase that taking the attention away from him. The dog took the bait and took off after the object and barking excitedly. Mina couldn't help but shake her head at the dog, didn't it realise it was about to be barbequed!

"Clever move..." Said Bagman.

The dragon watched the dog and started to slowly walk towards it and breathing out fire at the dog. The dog noticed this and was barking like mad and baring its teeth trying to intimidate the dragon. Cedric was sneaking behind the dragon while the dog was distracting it.

Just as Cedric was making it fairly close to the eggs the dragon seemed to change his mind and headed back towards Cedric.

Bagman's voice again rang out, "Pity it didn't work."

Cedric seemed to ignore the dragon and kept going towards the eggs. Mina was watching on the edge of her seat. The dragon breathed out fire and hit Cedric on his crowd all cried out in shock as did Cedric.

Though Cedric managed to keep his cool, he whipped out his wand and yelled "Aguamenti!"

A stream of water came out of his wand and put out the fire, it still was slightly burned but he kept on going. He made a dash for the golden egg. He grabbed the egg and the dragon keepers rushed down to subdue the dragons. Cedric smiled in relief and waved to the crowd. The Hogwarts students jumped up from the seats and cheered wildly.

Mina smiled in relief and clapped along with the other students. She thought Cedric was a nice guy and was glad he didn't get hurt too badly.

Cedric was then taken out of the arena to be treated as Bagman started to talk again.

"Very good indeed and now the marks from the judges!"

Mina turned to faced the judges who were sitting right at the end of the arena above everyone and sitting on golden chairs and waited for the judges show their marks. They weren't read out like she expected but instead each of the judges made a number out of what seemed to be a silver ribbon that shot out of their wands.

She watched as each of the judges raised their wands and showed a number. Madame Maxime, Mr Crouch and Dumbledore all made number eights and Karkaroff and Bagman created number sevens.

The cheers were again heard throughout the stadium until Bagman quietened everyone down.

"The next champion to compete is our only female champion from Beauxbatons, Miss Fleur Delacour."

Mina clapped politely for Fleur as she stepped out into the arena, she had lost her confident walk and was looking rather pale. Fleur closed her eyes before opening them and flicking her hair over her shoulder and smiling at the crowd. The boys in the crowd seemed to all sigh at the same time and groans from the women were heard.

Mina laughed at the reaction that the crowd had to Fleur before focusing back on to the situation. Fleur had instantly caught the attention of the dragon and pointed her wand directly at the dragon and muttered something that wasn't loud enough for Mina to hear.

Mina didn't know what the spell was doing until she saw the dragon's eyes start to drop. It was then she figured out that Fleur was putting some sort of a charm on the dragon, this hypothesis was soon supported by Bagman.

"Miss Delacour has started by placing the sleeping charm onto the dragon. I am not sure that was wise. The dragon is starting to stumble around a bit dangerously."

Fleur started to make her way towards the eggs as the dragon was falling asleep and Bagman was commentating as usual.

"Oh... nearly! Careful now... good Lord, I thought she'd had it then!"

Mina had to agree with Bagman but also yelp out in surprise.

Fleur had managed to make it most of the way to the eggs without too much incident. She had to make sure the dragon didn't fall on her but apart from that she was golden. Though, when she reached closer to the eggs the dragon had fallen completely to sleep and unfortunately for Fleur still had fantastic aim, even while asleep. The dragon snored letting out a jet of fire that hit her right in the skirt, setting the thing alight.

She screamed loudly and jumped around for a bit before pulling out her wand and yelling "Aguamenti!"

Water then shot out of her wand and onto her skirt, putting out the fire. Fleur seemed shaken up about the fire and stood still for a few minutes before finally moving again and reaching the golden egg.

The crowd broke out into cheers and applause when she reached the egg. Fleur had seemed to recover and was smiling widely and flicking her hair around her shoulders. Mina rolled her eyes as Fleur was escorted out of the arena and the dragon handlers again appeared to take care of the dragons.

"Miss Delacour's points if you please judges."

Fleur received a seven from Dumbledore, Crouch and Bagman, a six from Karkaroff and finally in what Mina thought was a blatant display of favouritism Fleur received a nine from Madame Maxime.

Bagman broke through the crowd again. "Our third Champion to compete is the famous Bulgarian from Durmstrang – Viktor Krum!"

The cheers were the loudest for Krum, not only were those from Durmstrang supporting him but many of those that followed Quidditch were cheering along.

Mina watched as Krum stepped out, he didn't look up to the crowd and seemed to ignore that they were even there. He then pointed his wand at the dragon and again Mina could not understand the spell but luckily Bagman explained.

"Krum has cast the Conjunctivitis curse on the dragon, very daring."

Mina watched enthralled and slightly horrified as the dragon roared loudly as if in pain and started stomping around. She winced as the eggs were stomped on as the dragon was staggering around. Krum used the chance to try and get the egg weaving around the stomping dragon as Bagman commentated on everything.

"He may lose points for that... That's some nerve he is showing – and – yes, he's got the egg!"

Mina couldn't believe that Krum had got to the egg without being injured. The dragon was stumbling around so much she saw Krum having to retrace his steps and stop so suddenly. She was relieved to see that Krum had not been injured and clapped along with those around her. She thought he had done the best job so far.

"Fantastic job there by Krum! Your scores please!"

The judges gave their scores and she thought they were quite fair. There was a seven from Madame Maxim and Bagman and an eight from Dumbledore and Crouch. The only mark she didn't think was fair was the mark from Karkaroff, who gave a ten. It was another show of favouritism as Mina believed that he should have marks taken off from the damage of the eggs, which were not meant to be harmed.

She couldn't dwell on this thought though because it was then that Bagman broke through her thoughts with what she had been dreading.

"Last but not least, our youngest champion also from Hogwarts – Mr Harry Potter!"

There was clapping from around the arena but a lot less cheering than there was for the other three competitors. Mina ignored this and stood up starting to cheer loudly for Harry.

She saw Harry step out and look around at the sea of faces until she caught his eye. She smiled at him and gave him her signature Sailor V wink and V for victory sign. She laughed lightly as she saw him smile at her and mouth thank you.

He then took out his wand and yelled. "Accio Firebolt."

Mina tried to wait patiently and was hoping for the best. She stared up into the sky and saw Sailor Mercury on the roof of the school. That was when she heard the firebolt flying towards Harry. She let a huge grin break out over her face and laughed loudly and cheered wildly, she knew he could do it.

She watched as Harry smiled in relief and hopped onto his broomstick. It was at that moment she found herself breathless. Watching Harry fly around was just incredible. He zoomed up high in the sky and stayed there for a few moments before flying down in a dive straight towards the egg. The dragon followed him and Mina was ready to jump down there to protect him as a jet of flames was heading towards him.

Harry pulled out of the dive in time to avoid the fire and Mina let out a breath of relief. As Bagman started his commentary.

"Great Scott, he can fly! Are you watching this Mr Krum?"

Mina giggled softly and focused her attention back on Harry. He again flew up high and soared in a circle as the dragon followed his progress, it's head revolving on its long neck. Mina thought that Harry was doing great and getting the dragon nice and dizzy.

Harry then plummeted down just as the dragon opened his mouth and Mina felt herself rise from her seat as the fire came towards Harry, he just missed the flames but was hit by one of the long spikes. It had hit his shoulders ripping his robes.

Mina cried out before she could stop herself and was still on her feet. "HARRY!"

She saw Harry briefly glance at her and give her a reassuring smile, she tried to smile back but found herself unable to. She was still worried for him, she was so close to getting Ami to end this right now but she knew she had to keep her faith in him.

Harry began to fly all over the place after realising that the dragon wasn't moving far enough from the eggs. He then flew high up in the sky and the dragon's head followed rising higher and higher and Harry kept flying higher until the dragon spread it's big leathery wings and took off.

Mina knew Harry had done it at that point. He dived as fast as he could go and quickly reached the ground and grabbed the golden egg. The whole crowd broke out into loud cheers and loud applause.

Mina was cheering as he flew around over the stands and sent her a smile from where he was. She laughed loudly feeling the relief wash over her. Bagman put the icing on the cake.

"Look at that! Will you look at that! Our youngest champion is the quickest to get his egg! Well this is going to shorten the odds on Mr Potter!"

Mina saw Harry fly down to the entrance of the enclosure and the dragon handlers rush back in. At that moment she took off sprinting out of the stands to the tent she knew Harry was taken to.

She waited as she saw Harry being congratulated and dragged into the tent by Professor McGonagall, Professor Moody and Hagrid. She heard her name being called out and turned around to see Ron and Hermione running towards her. She smiled at them and returned the hug that Ron gave her.

"Can you believe that Mina? He was absolutely brilliant!"

Mina smiled and led them into the tent. "Of course I can, I never doubted him for a moment."

Harry must have heard her because his head rose and their eyes locked. She let out a giggle before running towards him. Harry got up too and caught her as she jumped into his arms. Madame Pomfrey was scalding them from the sides but neither paid attention.

Harry held onto her tightly and was swinging her around in a circle as Mina's beautiful laughter rang out. "Oh Harry, I knew you could do it! I am so proud of you that was just astounding! Well done Harry."

Harry smiled and placed her down on the ground and before he could say anything Hermione jumped on him, he smiled at her and gave her a quick squeeze before placing her back on the ground.

"That was really brilliant Harry. You were amazing! You really were!"

Mina smiled at the trio before walking outside of the tent to let them have a moment. She saw Ron standing off to the side and the look of shock and happiness on Harry's face as he saw Ron there. She had left the three to talk because she knew Harry wanted Ron back into his life.

She leaned up against a tree and stared up at the Hogwarts castle smiling to herself as she waited for Harry's scores. A few minutes passed before she felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to see Harry standing there. A wide grin spread across both their faces and she again launched herself into his arms making them tumble onto the floor. She landed on top of him and they both let out laughter and turned slightly red.

Mina climbed off of him and sat down on the floor as Harry took a place beside her.

"So how did you go? Sorry I didn't wait for the scores, I knew you three needed some time to talk."

Harry turned to her and grinned. "I got an eight from Madame Maxime, two nines from Dumbledore and Crouch, a ten from Bagman. Yeah I thought that was strange too but it was nice and finally a four from Karkaroff. Ron was saying that was stupid and biased but right now I am so happy to have lived through that and to be tied in first place with Krum that I don't care!"

Mina smiled softly, it was a sad smile that made Harry look at her with a questioning look.

"I am glad you and Ron are friends again Harry. It is always hard to fight with friends, especially best friends that know everything about you. I understand if you want to spend more time with him and less time with me. I won't mind at all."

Harry's mouth dropped open and he grabbed her hands. "No way will I spend any less time with you Mina. It was all thanks to you that I survived this task. You spent all that time practising with me and you gave me the courage to believe in myself. I may not be the smartest guy in the school but I will not let a friend like that go.

I know that I am friends with Ron again but things will never go back to the way things were before. He wasn't there for me when I needed him. He let petty jealousies get in the way of our friendship and didn't believe me. You need trust between friends and reliability. He showed me none of that but you did.

I barely knew you but I knew you were different than the others. You ignored the others around you and cheered for me when my name was pulled out of the goblet, dragging attention from me to you. You were the first person to believe me and offer me any support I needed. You dealt with the drama from Rita Skeeter with no problems. You stayed up late with me to teach me the spell I needed and most importantly you believed in me.

You are the best friend any person could have. So even though I have Ron and Hermione back in my life I know that you have been a better friend to me in these few short months than they have ever been. Without you Mina, I would have been lost or worse dead. Thank you I couldn't have done this without you."

A tear rolled down her face and Harry instantly pulled her into a hug and Mina placed her head on his chest as she held on tightly letting a few more tears fall.

"It was my pleasure Harry. You are one of my best friends too. You were the nicest person to me at this school. So I should say thanks to you as well."

"You know Hermione always said there was something strange about you and Ami, like you were hiding something. I know we all hide our little secrets but there is nothing strange about you, you are just different in the most fantastic way possible."

Mina again felt the tears come back to her eyes and she had never wanted to tell a person so badly about her secret of being a Sailor Senshi. She almost blurted it out but then the image of her friends and how they would handle it popped into her head. They would be in danger if she told Harry so she quickly shut her mouth and changed the subject.

"So were you nervous?"

Harry laughed softly and lent back against the tree behind him. "I was a little bit but I had a dream last night. I saw this beautiful girl, I think she might have been an angel. I couldn't see her clearly but she had long golden hair and was wearing orange and white. When I saw her I felt this warmth wash over me and I felt stronger. I sort of thought I would be fine after that like she was watching over me or something. I sound stupid don't I?"

Mina smiled at Harry as he rubbed his fingers through his hair with a sheepish look on his face. "Not at all Harry, sometimes you need that little extra to believe in."

Ludo then walked up to the pair. "Harry I have been looking for you everywhere! You are needed back in the tent. I hate to pull you away from such a beautiful girlfriend but what we have to tell you is important."

Harry and Mina both blushed red. "We aren't together Mr Bagman."

Mina nodded along with this and Mr Bagman gave them a sheepish grin. "Well I should stop believing everything I read then huh? Well come on then Harry."

Harry turned to face Mina and smiled apologetically at her. "It is fine Harry, I need to go talk to somebody anyway. Plus I think Ron is waiting for you over there."

Harry looked up to see that she was right. He gave her another quick hug. "Thanks again for being such a great friend. I will see you later?"

She nodded and headed off for the castle as Harry let out a sigh. He walked into the champions tent and was told that the next task would be held on the 24th of February and the clue for the next task would be found inside the egg. After Bagman finished talking Harry walked out of the tent to see Ron waiting for him still.

The two made their way up to the castle. "So Harry, you and Mina are together now aren't you?"

Harry blushed and shook his head. "No we are just really good friends. I may have a small crush on her but I really don't want to mess up the friendship. I would rather have her in my life as a friend that not have her in my life at all."

Ron nodded as the two were making their way up to the Gryffindor Tower. "I understand that mate, believe me I do. "

The two boys sighed at exactly the same time before bursting into laughter. Harry smiled as he thought about how good his life was becoming. True his life was in danger at the moment but he had things he needed and that was all that mattered.

There you go! I hope you liked this chapter. I certainly did with the action and the Harry/Mina moments and Ron finally stop being a douche bag. As you can see I changed a few things like Harry and Ron are friends but Mina is still his bestfriend and Hermione isn't the one to be seen as Harry's girlfriend. I hope you liked the way I told this chapter as it followed Mina's POV rather than Harry's but I thought it was an interesting change because we see it from Harry's POV in the book and I am not sure if they showed it in the movie since I don't rememeber if I saw the movie but I liked showing it from the spectators POV rather than Harry's.

That is also the same with the points they received, I made it up what each of the judges gave them by the score they said each of them had at the beginning of the second task and then did maths do decide how many points from each judge. Except for Fleur since it never said how many points she scored and Cedric but I used maths for that two when in the third task he was equal with Harry and he got a certain amount of points for the second task so it was easy to figure it out for him. Again the points may have been said in the movie but I don't remember seeing the movie lol.

Anyways please review to let me know what you think! (no flames)
