Harry was looking forward to this.
{s}
"What happened to you?" Hermione asked.
When Ginny finally finished coughing. "The potion you gave me removed my teeth and prevented me from…"
"Yes, that is what you wanted. The ability to take Harry with no problem. I also got him to drink a potion to increase his output." Hermione said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Yes, that worked for the first time."
"What do you mean, first time?" Hermione asked, despite already knowing what happened due to Millie.
"The first time was okay; I was able to put a lot inside me. But Harry was not satisfied. He shagged my throat. It hurt. My jaw is still on fire. Then there was the gagging. The lack of air. Being stuck to the wall with my mouth right at the hole. Then when Harry left, some other boys came in. They used my mouth!" Ginny said.
"Did you ever say stop or no? How about hitting the wall three times like I told you to." Hermione asked.
"No," Ginny said.
"Why not? Did you forget? Did you want it?" Hermione asked. Ginny just grumbled. It was obvious she did not try to stop it.
"Well, let's give you a whore's bath then take you to see Madam Pomfrey. You need a few potions. Plus you need to see if the bun is in the oven." Hermione said.
{s}
"Hermione, you must run down to my brother, Charlie. Tell him, Harry must survive!" Ginny exclaimed as Madam Pomfrey shook her head.
"It's too late. You can see from the window, that Harry is up. It looks like a Horntail." Hermione said. She was worried about Harry. She also had no sympathy for Ginny. She admitted to Madam Pomfrey that she did not safe word. She wanted to get back at Harry by taking the other boys. She also admitted to enjoying how harsh Harry had been. What a slag.
{s}
Harry was amused. Even if this was not a redo, he knew he would have drawn the horntail. At least now, he had a better plan than trying to outfly the dragon on a flammable wooden broom.
As he approached the door to the arena he got ready and hit himself with the sonorous charm. He just hoped the dragon was reasonable. Once the door to the arena opened, Harry thought of a snake. Time to speak parseltongue.
"Hello, great mother. I am not here to bother you or disturb your nest." Harry said.
"Then why am I here, two-leg? Why are you here?" the dragon asked with suspicion.
"Because other two-legged with the magical sticks want a show. They want me to give them a show and take one of your eggs. The egg is enchanted to look like your real eggs but is not. It is made of gold. If you use your nose, you will smell it." Harry said, hoping the dragon would be curious enough. He heard an intake of breath then the opening to the arena was bathed in flames.
"You speak the truth, two-leg. Now what? I do not want to entertain two legs." The dragon said, her anger evident.
"Do you see one of the two legs with fur the color of blood?" Harry asked.
"Yes. He uses the stick on me, a lot. Even before I was put in this open area, he hit me with a painful light."
"Would you like to permanently end that pain?" Harry asked.
"Yes, what do you have planned, two-leg?" The dragon asked, now there was a menace in her voice.
"If you give me or allow me to take the fake egg, the other two legs will harm you and your young. So, here is what I propose. You let me walk from this entryway to the exit. When I am at the exit you can hurl the fake egg at the blood-fur-covered two-leg. If you can, do it hard enough to damage both the golden egg and the two-leg." Harry said. He was hoping the dragon could do this. He didn't hear the dragon for a few minutes.
"I can do that, two-leg. You promise no harm to my children?" The dragon asked.
"I will walk up to your maw and let you do anything you want to me if I am wrong," Harry said.
"Then go to the exit." Harry entered the arena and walked towards the exit. When he got there, he started to turn when he saw the massive tale hit something golden. He ducked the tail and exited the arena. Outside he was greeted by a gory sight. The golden egg was embedded in Charlie Weasley's chest. The egg had a dent in it visible. Charlie was dead. He walked up to the egg and with a lot of force, and a few cutting curses, removed it from the corpse. It was dented where it went through Charlie and pinned him to the ground. He was just glad he would not have to figure out the riddle. He then used an agumenti to clean the egg off. People were now reacting.
Now came the harder part, braving Madam Pomfrey.
{s}
"Harry, what were you talking with the dragon?" Albus demanded.
"I did not want to fight her. So I asked her politely for the egg. She told me that the blood-fur-colored one had brought another speaker to talk with her before she was forced out of her cave. She was told, that if she did not kill me, she and her eggs would be destroyed. So, headmaster, I used a special, notice me not to run toward the exit. You could see me, but the dragon could not, as long as I didn't get close. Then I guess the dragon thought her flame of the entry killed me so she got rid of the fake egg. Just luckily for me, she batted it at Charlie. No loss there. Now should we discuss why Charlie told the dragon to kill me? I would bet that none of the other dragons were told to kill the other competitors. Or how about, how Charlie knew I would be facing the horntail, and not one of the other dragons? Or why did Charlie bring over four dragons before the competition had even chosen any champions?" Harry said this all, noticing a small water beetle on Ludo's robes. "Moody was right, people want to use the tournament to kill me. Since you were an organizer as well as a judge, looks like that includes you. Oh, before I forget, it is Mister Potter to you. We are not friends or family."
"Harry, you are speaking lies. No one wants to harm you…" Albus tried to intimidate the boy with his stern grandfather's visage.
"Stop right there Albus. One, as I just said, is Mister Potter. Two, if no one wanted to harm me, how did my name get into the goblet? Why did you not disqualify me?" Harry said walking out of the medical tent to wait with the other champions. It took over half an hour for the judges to leave the medical tent and go to the podium. Harry was surprised, he got thirteen points. Ten from Ludo and one each from the rest of the judges. Since he did not care about his score, he just walked away.

Lies and Cheating at the Tri-Wizard Tournament
There are so many issues with the Tri-Wizard Tournament. To start, we know the boy who lived is in the tournament. There are allegations that Harry Potter cheated to get into the tournament.
Mister Potter cleared that up. He swore an oath on his life and magic that he did not enter his name. Nor did he ask anyone else to enter him. His lumos afterward was blinding.
That starts the list of problems with the tournament. But that did not start the skullduggery around the tournament. The headmaster had requested four dragons before the tournament even started. The fourth dragon was special. A member of the dragon handlers made it clear to the dragon, that she had to kill Harry, not just prevent a golden egg in her clutch, stolen by the champion.
This begs another question, how could that dragon handler know that in a supposed random draw, Harry would get that dragon?
It is known that one of the tournament judges is running a gambling book on this tournament. Is that fair to any participants?
The final first task issue was the scoring. Let's start with Ludo Bagman. Ludo scored Fleur, Victor, and Cedric lower than what seemed correct. He then gave Harry ten out of ten. Since Ludo is the judge who is running the book. Is his scoring fair?
Then the other questionable scoring involves Harry Potter. The other three judges each gave him only one point out of ten.
{s}
"Albus, you need to make sure the next task does not have any of the issues the first did," Cornelius demanded.
"Cornelius, I am sorry, Harry needed to be in the tournament. It is a perfect way for both of us to get rid of the boy." Albus said. He did not want to answer the real reason why.
"Normally I wouldn't care. However, because of all these attacks, the situation is critical. I am holding onto my office by my fingertips. If we get any more bad press, there is a likelihood you will lose your ICW power. Your power is already slipping. People are pushing for Marchbanks to be the chief witch now. If you lose a lot, you could get kicked out of Hogwarts." Cornelius stated.
"That will never happen. Soon, the people will again restore their faith in me." Albus said.
"They better."
{s}
He had more fun at dinner that night. He refused to kiss Ginny now. He acted as if he was going to break up with her. On the way to the great hall, he came upon her and told her, before the next task, either he got to shag her, or they were through. And she would be his date for the upcoming ball.
Once he got to the hall, more than one person said he was a liar and a cheat. He was through with it. So he jumped onto his table and hit himself with a sonorous.
"I am through with this bullshit. I, Harry James Potter, swear on my life and magic that I did not enter myself into this tournament nor did I ask anyone else to do so for me. The tournament organizers including Dumbledore requested four dragons for three champions. So mote it be!" Harry screamed. "Lumos."
Harry was pleased at how bright his wand lit up. The look of shock at the head table was another benefit. This was the second time he had sworn this oath. As magic teachers, didn't they realize what it meant? As he jumped down from the table and walked out of the hall, he heard McGonagall issue detention. Well, that was a fight for another day.
{s}
"Ginny is such a bitch." Hermione whined while Harry and her were studying in the library.
"Depending on who she is talking to. You either are a chukhold, orally raped her, let other boys use her, or nothing happened the night before the first task." Hermione said.
"Whatever to make me the worst of the bad guys no matter what," Harry replied.
"Yes, I cannot believe her. Does she say stop, no, or hit the separator three times?" Hermione asked.
"Of course not. Just like I would bet that it was okay because the Durmstrang boys are all purebloods, but not okay because my cock is a half-blood." Harry countered.
"That sums it up. If you were not her betrothed, she would have you arrested for rape. She is that girl the rest of us hate. She cries wolf too much." Hermione stated. "Did you know she wanted the first task postponed because she wasn't pregnant with your child?"
"No, but that is good to know. It also means a research project for you. Can you find a way to make a false positive to Madam Pomfrey's pregnancy scan?" Harry asked.
"You want her going in the lake, thinking she is pregnant." Hermione countered.
"No, I want Pomfrey and Dumbledore thinking she is before they put her down there." Harry countered. "Now, the next thing, Millie will slip you a mint at the Yule Ball. Take it. It will send you to the infirmary within 3 minutes. Oh, I forgot, Victor Krum will take you to the dance. Afterward, he would take you to their ship where everyone will enjoy your female charms. That mint will prevent that."
"WHAT?" Hermione screeched.
"Silencio. Yeah, every Friday, one of the Durmstrang students brings a muggle, muggleborn, or half-blood aboard their boat. That girl is the entertainment. Now before you ask too many questions, yes the headmaster and deputy headmistress know about it. They are not stopping it or even warning girls. They are preventing the DMLE from getting involved since, rightly or wrongly, the ship is a sovereign territory. Plus Albus, as the Supreme Mugwump, has stopped the ICW from getting involved. The only thing he has said is, if the girl is a muggle, don't forget to obliviate her." He finally removed the silence spell on Hermione.
"I cannot believe…" Hermione started.
"Why can you not? You were willing to help kill me because you were afraid of what the purebloods might do to you. Because of all the attacks; things will get much, much, worse." Harry said.
{s}
Harry went to the Yule Ball with Ginevra. It was lame. He had to borrow other people's drinks and ate nothing. When McGonagall asked him why he was not eating, he performed the potion detection spell on his food in front of Minerva. She accepted his reasoning when the food in front of him glowed. That was all she did. He also pissed off the Weasley by not kissing her. His reasoning was, who knows how much cock she had swallowed. This got her to storm off. He noticed while she was storming off that Madam Pomfrey was escorting a brown-haired girl in a periwinkle dress to the infirmary.
Harry had to admit to himself, he would like to know how many people at this ball, were affected in one way or another by a potion. Despite culling so many of the purebloods from the school, he felt it would be a high number.
{s}
Harry had to admit time was going too slowly. Millie and Hermione were killing him with teasing. He only saw Ginny one night a week, in the library, Watched over by a couple of other Gryffindor girls. The only stress relief was on Saturdays. He would slip out of the castle and attack some target. His third weekend was a meeting of the order. He killed all that showed up before Dumbledore. He apparated out when the Hogwarts group arrived. The fifth was the last nine death-eaters. Now Tom was down to Pettigrew and Crouch. For other magicals, he would wait for the Aurors and hit-wizards to show up. He would drop some of them and then separate them. The last weekend before the second task had the Aurors not showing up at all. He then used his international portkey to go to Egypt.

"You are running out of time, Ginny. The new judge from the minister has added sharks to the next task. I give the odds of Harry surviving at less than a coin toss," Hermione said.
"Are you sure, Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"Harry can't swim. How hard do you think it will be for the sharks to bite him?" Hermione asked. "At least no sharks can get into the mer- village."
"When can I…" Ginny asked.
"Tomorrow night. That way you can go right to the infirmary the next morning.. If you have a bun in the oven, Pomfrey will keep you there all day. Then the next morning, you would be put in the lake. So everyone will know you are the person that Harry would miss the most."
"Okay."
"I can locate this butt plug with a spell. That way I will find you. I spelled it so you cannot remove it without me being notified."
"See you in two days, love."
