Chapter 15: The First Task.
A.N. I don't own anything from Harry Potter because my initials aren't J.K.R. And please no BAD reviews. Oh and my sister helped me with this Chapter.

It was a cold morning and James woke up feeling unusual, he didn't want to do the task today because it was cold, but at least there would be a good side to this; Getting warmed up by the dragon's fire. James and all the champions had to meet up in a tent outside the rocks to choose their dragons and their type of climbing area, but you see they had to pull it out of a bag. Inside the bag, there were 4 pieces of parchment with a dragon name and a name of a climbing area on it, well that's what Sid had told James anyway. When they were ready, James and Sid set off together to the climbing area. James was looking everywhere for Ash, he wanted to thank her, for the cups of Ammwelling and the information but she was no where to be found.
James and Sid went to the tent and they were just in time, the only person who was there was Aleksandar and they were waiting for the last champion to arrive, but it was already really early. Once everyone was there, all the champions had to do waiting. James was walking about and around the tent when he heard a 'Pssttt….' From outside the tent, so he got closer and then he listened 'Is that you James?' Ash whispered.
'Yeah…' Replied James
'Did you get the Ammwelling?'
'Yeah I got a few bottles last night why?'
'Oh just making sure… I guess I was worried…So… How are you?'
'I'm scared really, never done something like this in my life really'
'Yeah… So drink the Ammwelling when your about to go out… It lasts for a maximum of 2 hours'
'Thanks…'
'Okay… I think someone's coming… I think I'll go'
'Yeah sure, ill see you…'
'Oh and James… Good Luck'
Ash walked away, her face… very worried. Professor McGonagall came and then she bought a bag. 'Champions gather around me in age order please. Mr Potter being last' She said. All the champions gathered around her and then she explained 'you are going to pick out a piece of parchment which will say the name of your climbing wall and the name of your dragon, I wish you all good luck'
Aleksandar first picked out his parchment, his piece said 'Red-hill Mountain Climb: Japanese Tumbler' Next it was Noémi, she picked out the parchment saying 'Pink Valley Climb: Swiss Long- Snout' Then Sid pulled out the parchment saying 'Snowy Fire Climb: Green Log Fireball' and finally it was James, he picked out the Parchment saying 'Red- Hot Cross Climb: Red Bull Fire-Mouth' Professor McGonagall was suddenly extremely worried, she hadn't looked so worried since the Battle of Hogwarts years ago! 'Aleksandar, at the sound of the trumpet you may go and face your dragon and your wall. And remember, you must get your prize, which is the silver pendant' The trumpet played and then Aleksandar went out to face his wall and dragon. After all the champions had their turn James' name was called out and it was time for him to go. He had the 3 cups of the Ammwelling and then went out. At first it was quiet… And he didn't know what to do. Everyone was watching. He moved and then the dragon whipped its tail and then rock and stone went everywhere. Ash, Fi, Rhea, Rachel and Zee all screamed and all the teachers did. Everyone was shaking. James then started to climb as he got attacked by the dragon and he saw the Ammwelling was working! He was being protected by the shield that Ammwelling had and he was also getting higher. Ash then shouted 'JAMES. USE YOUR WAND!' Then James looked at Ash and then he knew what she was trying to say, she was trying to say that the protection that the Ammwelling gave wouldn't last forever. 'CRUCIO!' He used but then the dragon moved and his spell missed. He still climbed higher and higher and he felt as if it was never going to end. Yes he was a long while away from the end of the wall but the main thing he was trying to do was to kill the dragon so then he would have no difficulty getting higher. Then James saw the first platform and then he jumped to the platform and continued to attack the dragon. He didn't know what to do because all he had was his wand and some rocks and stones beside him and the only thing he could do was throw rocks or use spells! 'USE AVADA KEDAVRA JAMES. AVADA KEDAVRA!' Shouted Zee. 'Avada Kedavra!' Shouted James and a green spike came out from the end of wand and it hit the dragon and then the dragon fell. The last fires came out of its mouth and they burned a bit of James' body suit. Then once the dragon was dead he climbed up as fast as he could and he could really feel the Ammwelling wearing off. It had only been 1 hour. What was happening? He managed to reach to the top and then he collected the pendant and then shouted so then he could tell everyone he had got it and everyone cheered and cheered! Then James jumped down where a soft, large cushion! When he got back into the Gryffindor Common Room everyone was cheering and shouting. Then some random triplets who were older than James picked up James and everyone started shouting and praising him even more! James saw everyone but he didn't see Ash or Zee. James passed around the pendant and then shouted: 'DO YOU WANT ME TO OPEN IT?' Everyone screamed 'YES'
'ARE YOU SURE YOU REALLY WANT ME TO OPEN IT?' Everyone screamed even louder and then James opened the pendant but nothing came out. Just a horrible stink and a little buzz. Everyone then ducked down because the smell was HORRIBLÉ (How Noémi would describe it) The triplets even dropped James because the stink was that horrible. James got up and he was now facing Ash. James at the moment was scarred and hurt and had dirt all over his body and face.
'So… I guess you survived?' Asked Ash
'Yeah… I did, that's why I'm here now!' Said James
Ash then smiled and then gave James a hug. No one noticed, the only people who knew were James, Ash, Rhea and Zee.
'Oh and thanks for all your help' Said James as he moved his fringe away from his face
'Your welcome, and please go and see the nurse… You don't know what Ammwelling can do!' Said Ash
'WAIT WHAT? What can happen?'
'Nothing will happen. Just kidding! But just go to the nurse, in case you have any injuries' Smiled Ash
Ash walked away with Zee, Rhea and Charlie and James watched them go past and then Hugo behind him said 'Someone's in love! Ooooooooo….' James smiled and then went back to what he was doing. The main thing was now finding out the clue in the pendant and of course… The Yule Ball…
