November 24st - The First Task

All four champions had known for a week that the first task was Dragons, in what form or reason we didn't not know. Hagrid had shown Harry, under an invisible cloak, Madam Maxime went with Hagrid as Karkaroff hid in the back ground. The chapions had chosen to stick together after I found Rita Skeeter was pushing Harry into a broom closent. She had written some nasty stories about me but I shrugged them off. Harry had told Cedric about the dragons and Cedric taught Harry and Hermione a shield spell for fire, exsoda. Harry and Hermione praticed as Ron grew angrier, he believe that Harry had put his name in the goblet and he was just a fame seeker.

Harry had pushed that to the back of his problems and began to focus on the first task, with Hermione and I. Vicktor had taken the oppertunity to see Harry on the broom, they race and laughed. Viktor hoped that if Harry every joined Quidditch full time that he would be on Viktor's team. I laughed as I told Harry about the Yale Ball and he panicked, after some level headedness, he asked Hermione is she would go with him, she said yes, she hugged and kissed him. Harry grew red in the face but kissed her back.

I stepped out of the Carriage remembering the moment that I had not realized that Lord Malfoy, his wife and Draco were standing there. I began to walk to the arena but Draco grabbed me again. I growled as I snapped his arm, twirled him around and wrenched his arm up behind him, "I warned you once, Draco."

"Let me go." Draco gasped, I pushed him away. "Father wants to speak to you."

"I don't care." I turned around as a walked stick stopped me.

"I am Lord Malfoy." Lucius stated.

I looked at him and laughed, "No you are not, A Lord bows to no man. Especially a half blood fool named Tom Marvolo Riddle." I pushed his walking stick out of my way, "My Lord is strong and amazing. He got there by realizing he was wrong and Muggle bloods bleed just as we do." I walked on leaving them behind, I made in to the tent as Rita was leaving and Hermione sneaked out the back.

"The first task is to retrieve the clue, you each pick out a dragon then go in the order that your name was called out from the goblet. Miss Malfoy you are first." I stepped to Barty Crouch, put my hand in the bag and prayed. I felt my finger bitten and grabbed the dragon out of the bag and sighed. "That is the Hungarian Horntail. Now Viktor." Viktor pulled out a Chinese Fireball, Cedric got the Swedish Short-Smout which left the Common Welsh Green to Harry. "Luci, you first."

I luaghed silently as I walked out of the tent into the arena, I moved behind a rock and waited. Where are we? What do you want? You will not hurt my babies. A voice shouted out.

I sighed, knowing that my talent was still in me, "I am not here to hurt you, You are Hogwarts, you are a task for a turnanment. We must get past you to reach a clue that was hidden amoung your eggs. That is all we want, we do not wish to hurt you or your eggs." I spoke, everyone gasped as I held my hands up and stepped out for her to see me, she growled. "Please Dear Mother, I mean no harm to you, I will show you. If I am lying to you, you may kill me."

The Horntail stepped back, Very well speaker. Show me. I walked to her nest slowly, I reached over her eggs pulled up the clue and showed it to her, she roared up into the air. How dare they! I will tell the other mothers, the others will be safe.

I walked away, "Thank you Mother dear." I stepped into another tent to wait for the others. I heard cheering and whistles before Viktor walked in with a smile on his face. "Viktor."

"You had something to do with that, didn't you?" Viktor asked, I smirked.

Cedric came in, laughing as he set his clue down, "The Dragon just slept."

We all went to the entrance of the tent as Harry walked out, he stood there as the dragon looked at him. He walked closer, reached out and petted the dragon, who sighed. I laughed as Cedric shook his head. Harry then got on the back of the dragon, it flew up and in circles as Harry laughed. Viktor gasped, "Wow, I have never seen such a thing."

I shook my head, "Only Harry." They landed, Harry grabbed the clue and walked over to us. Once Harry was inside, "How fun was it Harry."

Harry looked at me, "I can mark that off my list, it was amazing."

Cedric shook his head, "Only you ride a dragon and not know the importance of that."

Harry looked confused, "Somewhere in your family must have been a dragon whisperer, the dragons trust you." I told him, he gasped. "Yep, so that is one thing for you."

"Like I need anymore." Harry chuckled. We walked out of the Tent to see everyone watching us.

"It would seem that the first task wasn't very dangerous as we once thought." Albus stated, "There for we judge on who got their clue fastest. First place is Cedric, Viktor is second, Harry if thrid and Luci is fourth."

Harry and I looked at each other and High fived each other. I laughed, "Sounds good to me. Let's go eat!"

Cedric laughed, "Sounds good to me, Viktor?"

"I'm in." Viktor chuckled.

"Excuse us, We wish to eat." I smiled as we walked past them, Lucius stopped me. Everyone watched. "Yes?"

"I am glad that you are unharmed." Lucius stated, I sighed. "You as well Mister Potter, maybe I was wrong about you. It will seem that I need to rethink alot of things. I will see you again, Luci." Lucius and Narcissa left as Draco stared after them.

"Wow." I whispered.

Harry chuckled, "Did hell just freeze over?"

"I have no idea but it was awesome." I smiled, "Come on." I gripped his hand and we continued our way to the castle. We all carried our clues back to the castle, "You know, these markings like mermish, maybe it is from the mermaids?"

"If that is true, we better open them under water to understand the clue." Viktor stated, Cedric nodded.

"Ced, your girl is glaring at me again." I whispered.

Cedric sighed, "See you guys later." He walked over to Cho and she smiled.

We sat down, food appeared and we began to eat. Hermione joined us later. "Harry that was dangerous but it was good to see you smiling."

Harry smirked, "I smile when I look at you, love."

Hermione blushed, "Prat."

"You love me." He smirked.

"Yes I do." She whispered, "Ron still thinks that you put your name in." She gesture over to Ron, who now sat by his self because no one believe Harry put his name in the goblet anymore, not even Draco. "I can't believe he is such a prat."

"Don't worry about it, he is just jealous because he isn't in the lime light with you Harry." I smiled.

Harry shrugged, "I'm over it. If he can't trust me now, what will he be like later. I don't need to be friends with someon who doesn't believe me." Harry took another bite as we chuckled. Luna came to join us.

"Harry, that question you asked. I told my father and he sent this." She handed him a contract, Harry pushed it to Hermione.

"Read it for me?" He asked, she smiled and began to read it. "I figured if I am going to be reported on, that I actually want a say in what is written. No more lies, so this is a contract between me and Quibbler for the right's to my life past, present and future."

"That is brillent Harry." I laughed, "I think that I would like that as well, Luna."

"My father would be delighted, I contact him once Harry has signed that." Luna smiled brightly, Neville laughed and played with her ear rings. She turned to Neville, "Thank you for keeping the Nergules away."

"I'll always help you." Neville smiled, she leaned back into him.

"Cute, Neville you have to ask her to be your date to the Yale ball that is coming up." I smiled.

Neville smirked, "Luna, would you be my date for the Yale Ball?"

"Gladly." Luna sighed and Neville smirked.

I left the four lovebirds alone as I walked outside, I walked to the lake and felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I looked around and saw Moody watching me. I sighed, I knew that he needed to place the goblet but I hated that he was so close to us. I smiled and waved, he nodded at me. I walked to the Carriage, stepped inside into my room and knew that once the Ball happened that Hermione was going under the water, Harry would compete. I went over the plan in my head as I gave in to exhuastion.
