AN: 3 REVIEW=1 CHAPTER
I looked at the obstacle course in front of me. I felt Bella's presence beside me.
"You'll do well, brother. Besides I did train you." She smirked while I chuckled.
"You barely made it across." She scoffed.
"Ha, I could have been through the course faster but she told us to do the course like it was difficult. I have no idea why but she had us do it. I do trust her, she is a genius." Bella told me. I chuckled again.
"Of course, did you know that you have many admirers?" I asked. She laughed.
Her green eyes twinkled. "Of course, but only one catches my eye but I am not going to play easy to get." I looked at her.
"Who is that?"
"The one with brown hair and gray eyes." Brown hair and gray eyes? Cedric.
"I don't like him." She stared at me.
"Why?"
"He is dating Cho-" She started to giggle.
"Jealous, are we, Harry?" She smiled. I looked at her with my eyes opened wide.
"I am not!"
"You are too!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"YES!" She finally yelled at me. Everyone looked at us. Then they turned away when they see her giggling.
"I am not." I huffed.
"Must you always have the last word?" She commented then she turned around. "They are starting to go in. You should better start get going."
I nodded and walked to the entrance of the course. The first part was easy but the further you got into the course, the harder it came.
I climbed the rope with no difficultly. Then I ran. The 3rd course was the rose bushes. I ran through them. I felt each thorn scratch at me. They pulled at my short hair.
The fourth was the logs. I remembered to the past lessons that Bella has taught me during the summer.
"The key to log-rolling is to use acceleration and push yourself back to the top!" Bella screamed at me as I ran on the log that was in the water.
I jumped to the log. It started to spin on.
"To slow down, spin the log the other direction."
It slowed to where I could jump to the next one. I did the same with the others. Soon I was across.
The fifth course was fire. The balls of fire were flying through the room.
I ran through the course. I slowed because a fire-ball went right in front of me. I ran again, barely dodging a ball. Once I was through that one, I was in the next course.
The water course.
I jumped straight into the water. I started swimming against the current that threatened to pull me in. I looked at the others that were around me. I see three others, Cedric and two others whom I did not know. The current got stronger, but all of us were stronger. Once we were out of that one. We stopped and breathed.
"Harry." Cedric nodded to me.
"Cedric." I walked to the next course. "Let's get this over." I looked at the last course. The lava.
I ran and jumped, barely landed on the first column. There were more lines of columns. But they were place exactly the same. Cedric jumped at the column too and landed. I jumped for the next column and grabbed the edge with my hands and pulled myself up. I didn't look at the others. I looked at the path in front of me. I had four more columns.
I felt myself sweat. The heat from the lava was almost like an oven. I dried my sweaty palms on my pants and then jumped to the third. I landed almost at the edge to where if I lost my balance, I would fall over into the lava. I jumped and landed on the fourth perfectly.
I looked at the others. The two boys were on the third column while Cedric was on the fifth column. I ran and jumped to the fifth column. I landed perfectly again. I was starting to get use to jumping on these. I jumped for the sixth. I barely caught the edge. I strained to pull myself back up. Once I was back up, I jumped for the ground. I landed but not perfectly.
Once I landed, I lost my footing and fell over to the ground. Exhausted, I walked to the end of the course. There beyond the gate was everyone else. They must have been hit by something or they sunk in by the water. Cedric was in there but he finished first. I came in second.
Bella came running over to me.
"You did great brother." She laughed. "You look like you need some water." I nodded eagerly. "Okay, sit down. I'll got grab you some water." I sat down on the ground. Ron and the others walked toward me.
"Wow, you completed the course Harry." Ron told me.
"How many finished?" I asked.
"Only four of you finished: Cedric, you, Jasper and Emmett. All are sixth years, but you are the only fourth year." I laughed. Then Bella came walking back with my water.
"Here brother, drink this." She handed me the water. I grabbed the water and drank it eagerly. Once I got my fill, I poured the rest over my head. Bella laughed, I looked at the guys while they looked momentarily dazzled. I cleared my throat and they snapped out of it.
"Ron Weasley." Ron held out his hand.
"Bella Potter." Bella did not shake his hand but nodded.
"So you're his sister?" Seamus started.
"I am." She replied. I could tell that they were starting to get on her nerves. Bella didn't like being questioned; she is usually the one that does the questioning. She looked at me closely. "You have a cut on your forehead brother."
"What?" I felt my forehead and looked at my hand and seen blood. "Oh, that was the rose bushes." She laughed.
"You didn't notice."
"Notice what?" I asked.
"Everything had an advantage."
"What?"
"The last courses were obvious. You had the fire, the water, the lava. They were obvious. The rope was slippery making it harder to climb. The rose thorns have poison. The water that the logs spun in was to make you weaker. They all had something." She looked at my cut. "Everyone with a major cut will need an antidote. So come along brother before the poison kicks in."
She grabbed my hand and led me to where everyone was getting shots. "The poison goes into the bloodstream so we have use vaccines." She told me while she filled up a needle with the antidote. "Hold still and loosen up." She told me right before she put the needle into my arm. She was finish before I could breathe again.
I started to stand. "Whoa, don't ahead of yourself. The vaccine will make you woozy. So sit for a minute." She held me down to the chair. "Go ahead and go now. I have to help the others." She told me before she walked away.
She walked to the line kids waiting to get the vaccine. "Hey, Potter!" I heard a voice yell at me. I turned and seen Cedric running over.
"Cedric." I greeted him, trying to be polite.
"I hear that is your sister." He nodded toward Bella. I looked at Bella she was putting a needle into some girls arm.
"Yeah."
"Do you think that you could introduce me?" He asked. I looked at him.
"Aren't you courting Cho?" I asked. Cedric thought about it for a moment.
"Not really. She is more of a decoration on the arm." He told me. I turned toward.
"Will my sister become anything more if I introduce you?" I snapped at him and walked away. That asshole! He is just with Cho because of her beauty! Now he wants my sister who is the most beautiful girl in the entire school!
"Oui! Potter! Your sister seems nothing like you!" Malfoy yelled at me. Some Slytherin were in this class. Unfortunately he was. "Your sister seems more pure blood." He commented.
"Stop talking about my sister." I told him firmly.
"Or what-" His voice cuts off by some girls screaming. We both stopped our ranting and looked what was going on.
Tanya and Bella were arguing. Malfoy and I looked at each other, then back at the girls. What was going on?
"Ladies! Stop your ranting!" The Mistress ordered. They both silently obeyed. "This is not professional. If you want to fight, you must duel." She told them firmly. The surroundings around us changed.
We were now longer in the field. We were in a weapon room, it looked Egyptian. (Video on profile) Bella and Tanya glared at each other. In both hands was Sai swords. They both stepped in the middle of the room, where a clearing was at. They both greeted each other. Then they started fighting.
They swung their swords at each other. Bella came behind Tanya. Tanya used her leg and hit Bella in the face. Bella backed up. Then Tanya ran toward her. Bella then tripped her by catching her foot around Tanya's. Tanya fell to the floor.
She glared at Bella and jumped back up. They did some fancy work with their swords. Then they started fighting each other again. Bella got Tanya into a position to where she easily disarmed Tanya off her swords. Bella was going to grab Tanya but Tanya started flipping away to the wall where axes were held at. She grabbed a large ax. Bella threw both of her swords at the statue and landed right at the area where the men kept most safe. Bella flipped back and grabbed a spear.
They started walking toward each other spinning their weapon. Once they met, Tanya tried to hit Bella but she easily blocked it. Bella started to swing it. She swung her spear at Tanya's feet but she easily jumped and dodged it. Tanya started to chase Bella which her ax. Bella ran up a vase and flipped over Tanya and landed doing a split, she did not look hurt by it.
She held up her spear blocking herself from Tanya's blow. Then she kicked away the spear and rolled away to where she could get up. Once she was up Tanya ran at her and swung her ax. Bella blocked. Then Tanya ran at her swung her ax high, Bella kneel, dodging the blow. Then she stood and caught Tanya's hit with her spear which that she disarmed Tanya of the ax. Bella started spinning the spear. Tanya then caught the spear. Bella then flipped her over and held the spear to her throat.
I heard her whisper, "I win. Again." She said and got up as soon as the Mistress started clapping.
"Very good, Bella. You have become a better warrior." She praised Bella. Tanya did nothing but stand. "Tanya you need to learn not to fight with anger. That is your downfall." She told her. Tanya did nothing but nod.
All of the men looked kind of scared of Bella. Some actually looked more intrigued. "Now, I believe is the time for your next class." She told us.
