Chapter 6
November 24th
Today was the day the first task started, Harry looked around the tent and saw everyone nervous, and Harry had already informed Cedric about the task. Harry heard his name being called and he walked over to the voice
"Harry, Harry, Harry?"
"Hermione?"
"Harry, is that you?"
"Yeah"
"Ok, just remain calm and use spells and curses to get through the first task"
"Hermione, relax" Hermione squealed and opened the tent and hugged Harry, just then Rita Skeeter appeared and took a picture. Harry and Hermione looked at Rita
"Aww Harry Potter has found love, how sweet" Hermione growled at Rita, she walked over to the other champions, when Dumbledore appeared. Harry and Hermione walked over to where Professor Dumbledore and Ludo Bagman were.
"Alright champions, ah uh Ms. Granger shouldn't you be somewhere else?" Hermione smiled and squeezed Harry's hand in affection before she left "Okay continuing, the first task is to retrieve a golden egg, but you have to get passed the dragon to get the egg, in this pouch here I have here, holds four dragons" Bagman took the pouch and held it in front of Fleur
"Ladies first" Fleur put her hand in the bag and pulled out a welsh green dragon, then it was Viktor's turn, he pulled out a Chinese fireball, he put the bag over to Cedric and he pulled out the Swedish short-snout, and then it was Harry's turn, Harry pulled out the Hungarian horntail.
"Harry, let me talk to you for a minute" Harry walked over to Ludo Bagman "Are you feeling alright? Do you need anything?"
"I'm fine"
"Ok, just making sure, don't want you feel nervous or anything"
"Okay" Ludo Bagman looked at his watch and jumped
"So okay, I have to go right now, but good luck with the task" Bagman walked out of the tent, Harry sighed and sat down some where
"Cedric, you're up first" Harry watched Cedric stand up and walked to the entrance of the first task, he took a deep breath and took a step forward. Everyone heard the crowd cheer and scream for Cedric. They all heard groans and screaming, Cedric came back with the egg in his hand and relief written all over his face, then it was Fleur's turn, Fleur was shaking all over, she took a deep breath and walked out of the tent. They heard the exact same thing for Fleur; she came back in the tent with the egg in her hand. She immediately walked over to one of the beds and laid down with the egg in her hand.
"Krum, you're up" Viktor stood up and left the task, everyone started cheering. Everyone heard Viktor's name being chanted as he did the task, they all heard people gasp and cheer. Viktor came back into the tent with the egg in his hand, Harry stood up and walked out of the tent, he entered the arena and everyone started cheering, but he heard a few boos coming from the Slytherin people. Harry walked closer to the where the egg was and then the dragon appeared out of no where, Harry took a few steps back and started to run behind a rock, he pulled out his wand and yelled
"ACCIO FIREBOLT" Harry started running again, the horntail was following him, his firebolt finally came, he got on his broom and flew off. The horntail started to fly, but he was pulled back by the chains, he broke free of the chains and went after Harry. Harry pushed all of his weight on his firebolt and went fast, but the Horntail was still behind him. Harry jerked to the right and he was now near the castle, the Horntail was still on his tail. Harry tried to remember what he did the first time, Harry looked back and Horntail was right behind him. Harry made a sharp turn to the right and the Horntail's tail attacked Harry, scratching up his back. Harry groaned and gripped his firebolt tighter, Harry stopped and went straight down into the ground, and Harry pulled up and flew to the arena. The Horntail looked to where Harry was going and flew after him; Harry pushed all of his weight on the firebolt to get away from the Horntail, Harry finally made it back to the arena with the Horntail right on him. Harry flew down and reached out for the egg. Harry got the egg, jumped off his firebolt, and sprinted to the tent. Harry made back to the tent, he was out-of-breath, and he went to the nearest bed and fell on top of it. He groaned once his back touched the bed, he flipped over to be on his stomach.
Madam Pomfrey came in again,
"Alright Mr. Potter, what do you want me to heal, ah never mind I see it" Madam Pomfrey saw his jacket that said POTTER with scratches through the fabric. She pulled out her kit, and pulled out her wand. She opened Harry's jacket and began healing his scratches, she wrapped bandages around Harry's shoulder and left the room. Harry flipped over to his back and gritted his teeth in pain, just then Hermione came into the tent, and Harry sat up and got off of the bed. Hermione smiled when she saw Harry
"Harry, you're okay" Harry smiled and hugged her back, they pulled away and Hermione swatted his arm
"Ouch what was that for?"
"For scaring me" Harry scratched the back of his head
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too" Hermione smiled at Harry
"I forgive you, grab your stuff, Ron is waiting outside he wants to talk to you" Harry grabbed the jacket and wrapped it around himself and the golden egg, Hermione and Hermione linked hands as they walked out of the tent. Ron was looking down at his shoes
"Ahem" Ron looked up and saw Harry and Hermione in front of him, Harry and Hermione started walking forward and Ron started walking too.
"Harry, I want to say I'm sorry for not believing you. I mean after seeing them risk their lives to get a egg"
"It's alright, Ron, friends?"
"Friends" Harry and Ron shook hands and smiled at one another
"I'm so happy that you guys made up, it was about time too" Harry smiled at Hermione and gave her a kiss on the cheek
"Aye Harry can I see the egg?"
"Yeah, here" Harry handed it over to Ron and watched Ron examine it and be amazed; Harry and Hermione rolled their eyes and smiled.
"I love you; I haven't said that in a long time"
"I love you too, Harry" Harry smiled at Hermione and gave her a kiss, they continued walking back to the castle.
Time Lapse
"YEAH HARRY, HARRY POTTER HAS GOTTEN THE GOLDEN EGG" All of the Gryffindors were cheering for Harry, Harry was on Fred and George's shoulder,
"COME ON HARRY, OPEN THE EGG"
"Are you sure about that?"
"YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH" Everyone started chanting "yeah", Harry smiled and opened the egg. A loud screeching sound came out of the egg; everyone groaned and covered their ears. Harry closed back the egg and the screeching went away.
"I warned you"
"BLIMEY HELL, WHAT WAS THAT?"
"I don't know, but whatever it is, its loud" The party continued, Fred and George put down Harry and let him wander around the common room, Harry walked over to Ron and Hermione, they we're eating some of the food.
"What was that?"
"Oh it was the egg, didn't you hear people asking me to open it?"
"Yeah, but ow that was loud"
"I'm gonna put the egg upstairs in my trunk"
"Oh can I come with you?"
"Yeah" Hermione put down her food and followed Harry upstairs. Harry entered the boy's dorm and put down the egg on his bed. Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione
"God, I've been holding this in for quite awhile now" Hermione started crying into Harry's chest
"Hey, hey, why are you crying?"
"Because…you had me so scared and worried"
"I'm sorry" Hermione was still crying, Harry walked over to his bed, he put the egg on his nightstand, Harry pulled away from Hermione, and sat down on his bed, he grabbed her hands and looked up at her
"Hermione, I SWEAR to you that I wont die in this tournament, I love you too much" Hermione smiled at Harry and leaned in to kiss Harry
"I love you too" Harry smiled and looked at his watch
"Do you want to go to sleep? It's eight"
"Um, yeah I'm a bit tired, can I sleep with you?"
"Yeah, you can"
"Ok, just let me change" Hermione left the boys' dorm and walked over to the girls and changed into her pajamas. She came back from the girls' dorm and entered the boys; Harry was already changed. Hermione walked over to the bed and laid down on it, Harry slipped in next to her and got comfortable. He wrapped his arms around Hermione and closed his eyes; Hermione closed her eyes and fell asleep.
