The day of the first task arrived, Alexis just finishing putting on her hoodie, she was allowed to dress normal, she were tight pants, and a brown shirt, and the hoodie had the symbol of the Halliwell family on it,
"your attention, please. This is a great day for all of us," Dumbledore's voice announced, one of the dragons roared cutting off Dumbledore speech, "Each of the three tasks involves very considerable danger. Please keep your seats at all times. This will minimize any risks you may be exposed to."
"Great day, my size eight shoes." Alexis muttered. She walked over to the flap of the tent the five of them were in, standing next to Harry,
"Harry? Lexi? Is that you?" Hermione's voice whispered.
"Yeah," both whispered back
"How are you feeling? Okay?" Hermione asked. "The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to-"
"Battle a dragon." Harry interrupted.
Alexis step away as Hermione just burst though the opened flap and hugged Harry, a flashbulb when off as Harry and Hermione parted,
"Young love. How stirring." Rita Skeeter stated as she walked in. "If everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page."
"She got another one of those quills!" Alexis exclaimed as Cedric had to hold her back from bashing Skeeter's face in.
"You have no business here. This tent is for champions and friends." Viktor Krum spoke up for the first time since arriving at Hogwarts.
"No matter. We're got what we wanted." Rita Skeeter replied as the wizard who was with her snaps a picture of Krum. She left then Dumbledore, Carmela, Karkaroff, Madame Maxime, Barty Crouch entered, Alexis glanced back as Carmela rested her hands on the witch hybrid's shoulders. Dumbledore stood in the middle of the champions,
"Good day, champions. Gather round, please. Now, you've waited, you've wondered, and at last the moment has arrived. A moment only five of you can fully appreciate." Dumbledore stated then looked at Hermione, "What are you doing here, Miss Granger?"
"Sorry, I'll just go." Hermione apologized, then with a look at Harry and Alexis, she left.
"Barty, the bag." Dumbledore stated.
Crouch step up with a bag, "Champions, in circle around me. Miss Delacour, over here. Mr. Krum, Miss Halliwell stand next to Mr. Diggory. And, Potter, Mr. Potter, over here. That's right. Now." he turned to Fleur, "Miss. Delacour, if you will."
Fleur reached into the bag, pulled out a miniature green colored dragon,
"The Welsh Green." Barty stated. "Mr. Krum."
Krum reached into the bag and pulled out scarlet colored dragon,
"The Chinese Fireball... Oooh!" Barty informed.
It was Cedric's turn and he got the Swedish Short-Snout,
Next it was Alexis' turn, she reached into the bag, 'Please not the Horntail, please not the Horntail,' she thought as pulled out a dragon with dark scales, and bright purple eyes.
"The Hebridean Black, good luck with that one." Barty stated.
'Good luck? What does that mean!' Alexis thought worried.
"Which leaves..." Barty stated
"The Horntail," Harry muttered.
"What's that, boy?" Barty asks
"Nothing," Harry replies and takes his dragon.
"These represent five very real dragons, each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple: collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg contains a clue without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions?" Crouch explained.
No one said anything,
"Very well. Good luck, champions, Mr. Diggory, at the sound of the cannon, you may-" Dumbledore and filch fired the cannon.
Alexis walked up next Cedric and kissed his cheek, "Good luck,"
"You better give me a real kiss after this," Cedric murmured
"Count on it," Alexis agreed her ice blue eyes shining with love.
Cedric, Fleur, Krum, and Harry won their eggs, Alexis was waiting last. Dumbledore's voice sounded, "Four of our champions have now faced their dragons and so each one of them will proceed to the next task and now our fifth and final contestant,"
Alexis closed her eyes breathing in, 'I have to do this to prove to myself, I'm strong as Prue was, I can do this.' she walked out of the tent, her spirits lifted some when she heard the crowd of Gryffindors shouting her name.
"Lexi, Lexi, Lexi." but five faces in the crowd caught her eyes, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, and Leo were cheering her on as well. Next she caught of sight of the Hebridean Black, It has dark rough scales, ridges along its back, and its tail is tipped with an arrow-shaped spike, and was at least thirty feet tall.
"I'm so dead," Alexis muttered, she saw the dragon guarding the egg she was suppose to win, she saw how the dragon was guarding the egg standing over it as proud and regal, this was a part of nature, so beautiful and graceful. She started to sing as the dragon watched her
Each day when the sun rises, I hurry from my sleep,
I can't wait to greet you with my song,
You are every kind of flower, every animal I meet,
You are nature full of grace and majesty.
The dragon started to sway it's head as it listened to Alexis' beautiful voice, the crowd was amazed that the dragon wasn't attacking, that Alexis could distract it by singing,
From your skies the snow gently falls to the earth,
From your trees the birds nest and play,
From your oceans the fish school and travel the world,
Nature please don't ever go away.
Alexis walked closer to the dragon as it regard her, the wind picked up as it sang along with her.
Each day when the sun rises, I hurry from my sleep,
I can't wait to greet you with my soul,
You are every kind of flower, every animal I meet,
You are nature full of grace and majesty.
The dragon laid it head down touching Alexis' out stretched hand with it's tongue.
"Please dragon, I don't want to hurt you, but could I have the egg?" Alexis asks
The dragon rumbled in her chest, and moved aside to let Alexis though, the witch hybrid skipped past and grabbed the egg,
"Thank you, dragon. Remember my song, I shall sing it every morning even if you can't hear it, I will be thinking of you." Alexis stated.
She turned and left the arena, and was caught and swung around by Cedric,
"That was amazing, but why didn't you use magic?" Cedric asks as he set his girlfriend down on the ground again.
"Ced, you know I'm wiccan, I can't hurt a living creature who isn't evil. She was protective but not evil, and everyone keeps telling me my singing is magical" Alexis replied then reached up and kissed Cedric on the lips, and then the Gryffindors descended taking her and Harry back to the common room. Fred and George hoisted Harry up on their shoulders,
"Yes, Harry, Lexi!" they cheered
"Knew you wouldn't die, or lose a leg or an arm or pack it in all together." Fred and George stated. "Never!"
"Shush!" someone shouted. Seamus kissed Harry's egg and handed back to him,
Alexis held onto hers, she was looking at the marking, it almost look like fins on the top.
"Go on, Harry. What's the clue?" Seamus asks
"Who wants me to open it?" Harry asks
"Yes!" everyone in the room answers back,
Harry opened egg and a loud screeching sound came from the egg.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asks coming into the room,
Harry and Alexis looked up,
"All right, everyone! Go back to your knitting," George orders. "This is gonna be uncomfortable enough without all you nosy sods listening in."
they stood in the middle of the room, just staring at each other.
"I reckon you both have to be barking mad to put your names into the Goblet of Fire." Ron stated.
"Caught on, have you? Took you long enough," Harry replied.
"I wasn't the only one who thought you both done it. Everyone was saying behind your backs." Ron explained.
"Brilliant, that makes us feel loads better," Alexis stated, "I don't care about what the others think, it hurts worse when your own best friend doesn't believe you,"
"Least I warned you two about the dragons." Ron replied
"Hagrid warned us about the dragons." Harry stated.
"No, no, no, I did." Ron replied. "No, don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you both. Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me along. I though we'd be all right, you know after you'd figured that out."
"Who-? Who could possibly figure that out?" Harry asks
"That's completely mental." Alexis adds
"Yeah, isn't it?" Ron asks with a laugh. "I suppose I was bit distraught."
a few days later, the Daily Prophet came out, Hermione was reading at lunch,
"Loot at this!" she exclaimed. "I can't believe it! She's done it again."
Alexis looked at the paper, and read outloud, "Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report is none other then the Bulgarian bonbon, Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow. I think they got it backwards, Viktor is the one who has a crush on Hermione."
"Shut up." Hermione stated.
Nigel as first year came down the aisle with package in his arms, "Parcel for you, Mr. Weasley."
"Thank you, Nigel." Ron replied, Nigel stood there with an autograph book. Hermione cleared her throat and nodded "Not now, Nigel, later."
Hermione gave him a look,
"I told him I'd get him, I would get him Harry and Lexi's autograph." Ron explained. He opened the parcel, "Oh, look, Mum's sent me something."
Alexis pressed her lips hard to keep from laughing, the robes were Maroon with lace at the collar and cuffs
"Mum sent me a dress," Ron stated.
"Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet?" Harry asks he picked up the tie, and placed it with the dress.
"Nose down, Harry." Ron replied. He walked over to where Ginny was sitting. "Ginny, these must be for you."
"I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly." Ginny replied
Alexis and Hermione giggled
"What are you on about?" Ron asks
"They're not for Ginny. They're for you." Hermione answers the whole table started laughing.
"Dress robes." Alexis stated.
Dress robes? For what?" Ron asks
