Part 13

What if I failed? What if I died and never got the chance to tell Hermione how I feel? It's just a dragon, i will be fine. Right? I have fought Voldemort twice and 100 dementors. I can do this.

I was waiting in the champions tent and based on the looks on everyone's faces, I'm not the only one who is scared. Everyone was pacing and waiting for the judges and headmaster to come in. All of sudden I heard whispering coming from outside the tent.

"Harry"

"Harry is that you?" I heard Hermione whisper

"Yeah" I whisper back

"I'm scared for you. Are you okay?"

"No. I'm a bit nervous"

"All you have to do is concentrate. We went over the plan loads of times. You will do great" She tells me, Usually when she says things like that I feel instantly better, but not this time.

"Mione if I don't make it, i just want to say...." I started to say but soon got engulfed in her hugs as she climbs into the tent.

"I don't want you talking like that. You will be fine" She says pulling me tighter, she holds me for dear life.

As we are embracing i heard this flash go off besides us.

"Love is in the air it seems" Rita skeeter says joyfully

"Get out you're not supposed to be in here" Hermione says to her, letting me go

"I just wanted to get final statements. But don't worry if all goes wrong today you two might end up on the cover"

"Leave.... this tent is for champions and friends" Viktor says to her, She looks at him for a second before leaving the tent.

"You will do great Harry. I will be there rooting for you. Just concentrate on something good"

"I will concentrate on you" I tell her honestly, she slightly blushes

"I have to go but good luck" She gives me one last hug before heading out

Before she leaves I ran outside to stop her.

"Mione before you go....remember when I told you how whenever you watch me play quidditch I always seem to play better? You're my good luck charm and right now I need some of that good luck" I explained to her, she looks confused.

"What do you need from me Harry?" I can't believe I'm asking her to do this.

If I was going to die, I at least wanted a kiss from her.

"Kiss me"

I can tell she is surprised at first but then begins blushing profusely. I could tell she is going over it in her head. I just needed something to remember her by, something to get me though this.

"What?"

"Kiss me"

"Harry are you sure? We're friends....and what if things become awkward or worse. I don't know about this....I mean why a kiss?" Hermione is starting to get nervous and flustered, i might as well make the first move.

I put my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me. I leaned in to her barely grazing her lips, she lightly presses her lips onto mine capturing my lips fully. I pulled her closer as the kiss became for demanding and heated. I heard her slightly moan as our lips moved together. I knew we had to stop before i got too carried away. When we separated, i saw the smile appear on her face.

"Good luck" She whispers before leaving

"I can't believe i just did that" I thought to myself

I went back in the tent to wait for my name to be called. As time went by everyone took their turns one by one. I could hear the sounds of thunder and screaming from outside. Eventually it was my turn.

"Introducing the youngest champion this year....Harry Potter!" I heard Dumbledore yell

I walked out of the tent and towards the middle of the arena where a large dragon with a bunch of sharp horns is waiting for me. Why did i have to get the one dragon that looked the most deadly? I'm supposed to grab her golden egg but i don't know how i can, but then I remembered the plan Hermione and i came up with.

"Accio Firebolt!" I command, my broom quickly flies to me

Quickly i dodged the fire coming from the large beast. I raced towards the egg, but i felt his tail hit me flying me off my broom. I landed in some ditch with my broom landing beside me. I felt so much pain as i tried to brush off my injuries.

"Ow" I say quietly to myself before standing back up.

I got back on my broom and steering the dragon away from the eggs so that it is following me. I performed a few stunning spells but nothing seemed to work. I dodged its tail and avoided the fire as i flew around the castle towards the egg. I was so close, i quickly sped up knowing the dragon was chasing me. Just as i nearly made it to the egg, i got knocked off my broom once again. I could hear the crowd going silent, i stayed on the ground for a minute trying to figure out a different strategy, because clearly this wasn't working.

Then i remember Hermione is out there waiting for me. I just kissed the girl of my dreams, and I wanted to again. I wasn't going to lay here and give up.

Slowly i got up and back on my broom. I flew back into the air to hear the crowd screaming, but all i could focus on is Hermione. As the dragon flew towards me i raced towards the egg, being faster than the dragon I grabbed the egg successfully.

I held it up in the air as i heard the crowd chanting my name. I looked over to Hermione who has the biggest smile on her face. I flew back to the entrance of the tent where i was checked over.

After Madame Pomfrey made sure i was healed, i walked into the champions tent where i was swarmed with dozens of people lifting me up and chanting my name.

"Open the egg Harry!" Fred yells towards me

"Should I?" I asked the crowd

"Yeah!" Everyone starts screaming

I opened the egg to hear a loud screeching sound coming from it. I quickly shut it.

"What in the bloody hell was that?" Ron asks still holding his ears.

"I don't know" I told him closing it, as everyone put me down, i handed the egg off so everyone can see it.

I walked over to Ron to see a guilty look on his face.

"So you believe me now?" I asked as everyone is to busy focusing on the egg to hear our conversation

"Who would be that much of a bloke to do this to themselves? I'm sorry for everything i said to you and I'm sorry i didn't believe you" Ron apologizes sincerely

"It's okay. I forgive you"

"Thank goodness that's over. Now Ron I think it's time we take this party to the common room don't you think?" Hermione suggests coming up behind us

Next thing I knew there was a large party in the gryffindor common room. I looked around but i couldn't seem to find Hermione so I walked up to her room to find her sitting on her bed.

"Hey can we talk about what happened?" I asked her

"Please because I can't stop thinking about it" She says laughing slightly

"We kissed" She says

"Yep"
