Chapter 12: The First Task is Climbing!
A.N. My name is not J. so I don't own Harry Potter! And please, no BAD reviews!

James fell to the floor and a Slytherin boy came from behind a tree laughing, his hair was jet black like Ash's hair, and the boy had a bowl cut which James thought was absolutely hilarious! Getting back to what happened. Because of that boy James was hurt and Ash had broken her leg and was in the Hospital wing and then he was just laughing and laughing. James got up and then pointed his wand at the boy. 'What do you want with me you git?' Said James
'Nothing, I just want to make fun of you!' Replied the Boy while laughing.
'Go pick on someone you know'
'Okay I will, I'll go pick on your girlfriend in the Hospital Wing!'
As soon as the boy was about to run off, James grabbed his shirt and said 'DON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME OR MY FRIENDS! GOT IT?'
The boy nodded and simply ran off. This was not the end of it!
James was now worried, because Ash was in Hospital and he didn't know anything about what happened, all he knew was someone with jet black hair who was in Slytherin tripped her up and made fun of her and James. James quickly ran up to the Hospital Wing and knocked on the door, he was desperate to see Ash. Professor Madden had taken care of Ash and anyone was allowed to come in and see her. James walked in the door and saw a bed surrounded by people he knew, Albus, Rose, Hugo, Fi, Rhea, Rachel, Zee and Charlie. They were all talking and were all surrounded so James didn't know who they were crowding around, but ha gave a guess and obviously he was right. Everyone heard James cough and they turned around to look at him, James' nose was bleeding and he didn't even know it, no one said anything though… He smiled and then went up to Ash's bed where Ash was lying down with her left leg up, which was wrapped around in bandages and she was drinking something which Professor Madden called 'Bone Juice' Apparently, it helps bones to heal together faster! Ash smiled but then her smile went when she saw the blood on the face of James. 'James, you do know your nose is bleeding?' She asked.
James' smile went back to being straight and he started looking worried while trying to wipe the blood away.
'No James, don't use your sleeve. Come here!' Said Ash.
So James went to Ash and she told him to kneel down and then she got a wipe and then slowly Ash wiped the blood off his face and made it look like nothing had happened… Then Ash got shy and then looked down and then put the wipe into the hand of James again.
'Thanks' Said James while looking at Ash.
'Your welcome' Replied Ash while James stood back up. Then Sid ran into the Hospital Wing with a very serious face.
'JAMES! JAMES!' Shouted Sid.
'What's the matter?' Said James while running to Sid.
'The First Task! Its… Its…'
'Quickly Sid!'
'The First Task is a climbing task… But your climbing with no safety, plus Dragons are there as well!'
James froze and couldn't say anything because he had never done such and thing and he had never seen a dragon and he didn't know what dangers he faced in this first task.

Then Sid added 'Oh and the second task has ALWAYS been an underwater task!'
James was completely frozen now, he didn't know what to do. He didn't even know hoe to hold his breath under water for long and he didn't even know how to climb on rocks with a dragon trying to attack him and with no safety at all!
Everyone behind James was also listening and Ash was shocked as well. Rhea was shocked but her face didn't show it, she didn't look at Sid through all of it at all. Ash looked back to where she was lying and stared at the ceiling. Rhea was just looking outside the window because she didn't want to look at Sid or anyone around Sid. Everyone eventually got out of the room and the only people left in the room were Fi, Rhea, Ash, James and Sid. Sid was talking with James and Rhea and Fi were both talking to Ash. They didn't really say much, because there was nothing to say, this wasn't a happy occasion but this wasn't a sad one either.
Fi was just reading a book she got from Ash in year 2 for her birthday, while Rhea and Ash were talking about boy problems. Sid was asking for advice from James, because he wanted advice on how to get Rhea back, James had no clue. It became evening and Professor Madden said that Ash was fine to go back to the common room now. Rhea helped Ash get up and eventually everyone finally got back to the common room. Ash had to go to bed early, and James was allowed to stay with Ash so then he could look after her, and to make sure nothing happened between them Fi was here to watch out and she was also here to look after Ash as well. So the only people who were downstairs was Sid and Rhea. Rhea didn't do much she just sat on the sofa and stared at the fire (and yes she took up the whole sofa because she didn't want Sid to sit next to her!)
'What's the matter Rhea?' Asked Sid.
'Nothings the matter Sid!' Replied Rhea.
'There is something obviously wrong with you and I know it is because of me'
'Wow, so you listen to me when I don't tell you to listen to me and you don't listen to me when I tell you to listen to me(!)'
'I'm sorry Rhea, I promise you I am not going to die in this tournament, I promise you!'
Sid held Rheas hand tightly and as much as she wanted to stay in this way forever, she moved her hand and said 'Course you wont! Anyway I'm tired, been a long day, going to bed now, Night!'
Rhea walked up to the girls dorm and then James came down, he came down to see Sid's face really unhappy, Sid had never been unhappy, ever. And he really wanted to be with Rhea, but he couldn't now. James and Sid had a talk and they understood each other and yes James told Sid everything about his feelings for Ash, and for a moment, they forgot about the tournament and they had fun. It became 11pm and James and Sid decided to turn in. They were going up but then they both suddenly remembered the tournament and their faces weren't bright anymore, they slowed down and went to sleep not as easily as they did before, but they couldn't sleep at all. They were all going to get ready for the tournament the next day, but to be honest James was not ready at all, he was worried, about the person who made him bleed that same day and made Ash break her leg when she didn't even do anything. He was also worried about Ash, that she was somehow in danger as well, he didn't know how he was in danger he just felt like she was, and whenever James senses something, James means it. Sid wasn't thinking much about anything, the only things which were on his mind were Rhea and the tournament, he was pretty confident about the tournament because people HAVE survived the years before and everything but he just really, really wanted Rhea back, because she was the only one who knew about him, what he was and who he was. Now going on he other side, Ash was now thinking about James, and she was terribly worried about him, she didn't know how he was going to do everything in the tournament and she was worried about him getting hurt and even worse… Dying. What would the school say to his parents? Ash was awake for a long while and I mean quite a long while. Fi was still reading because she couldn't get her mind off Albus (yes I am going to be doing a Fi, Albus love story) maybe it was because she was reading a lot of Romantic books? Maybe it was because she likes sitting next to him? Who knows but he just couldn't get her mind off him!
Lastly, Rhea couldn't get her mind of Sid. The way he touched her, it was cold, yes, but she loved it, she could feel all the love for her in that one touch and she wanted him back but what if he had found someone else and he didn't want Rhea anymore, maybe many girls were after him because he was a champion. Ash was also afraid something might happen to James as well, he might meet another girl and fall in love with her. Yes all 3 girls now had to take action before the Yule Ball… Good Luck Fi, Rhea and Ash…
