- 4.7
[The crowds are cheering, people are taking bets. Harry is pacing nervously. Hermione is standing by the tent door whispering in.]
Hermione: [whispering, worried] Pssst! Harry? Is that you?
Harry: [whispers confused] Yeah.
Hermione: How are you feeling? OK? The key is to concentrate. After that you just have to...
Harry: [sarcastically calm] Battle a dragon.
[Hermione winces and then enters the tent and they hug. A bright camera flashes causing the two to push away from each other, Rita Skeeter the journalist approaches.]
"Of course she's there to ruin the moment." Avery mutters.
Rita: Young love! Ohh how.. stirring. If everything goes unfortunately today you might make the front page. [Hermione's face goes from shock to a cold glare, then Rita gasps and smirks] Is this the girl you're risking it all for, Potter?
Hermione: [grunts] You vile little— [Harry hurriedly covers her mouth with her on scarf.]
Viktor: (To Rita) You have no business here. This tent is for champions and friends.
Rita: [looks at the young boy with lust] No matter. We've got what we wanted.[As Rita leaves her quill caresses Krum's face and her lackey snaps a picture of the champions one more time as Dumbledore enters.]
"Cougar alert." Barty snorts.
Dumbledore: Good day champions. Gather round please. Now you've waited, you've wondered and at last the moment has arrived. The moment only four of you can fully appreciate.
[The champions gather around him in a circle as he wraps his arms around them, only to realize Hermione was there.]
Dumbledore: [baffled] What are you doing here Miss Granger?
Hermione: [winces awkwardly] Oh um.. Sorry I'll just go. [As she leaves, she gives one more comforting look to Harry.]
Dumbledore: Barty. The bag.
Barty: Champions, in a circle around me. Miss Delacour over here, Mr Krum, and Potter over here. Right. Miss Delacour, if you will...
[Barty holds up a bag. Fleur takes out a little green dragon.]
Barty: The welsh green. Mr Krum... [Viktor takes another out] The chinese fireball. Oooooh.[Cedric picks one.] The swedish short-snout. Which leaves...
Harry: [whispers] The horntail...
Barty: What's that boy?
Harry: Nothing.
[Harry puts his hand in the bag and pulls out the dragon. Dumbledore's eyes darken as they peer into Harry's palm. The miniature Horntail rears up angrily, lets out a roar and emits a tiny ball of fire.]
Lily looked at the screen in horror, "Dragons! Out of all things you kids had to battle dragons?!"
"They couldn't have gone a little easier. I mean it's only the first task!" James added.
"Oh it gets worse." Jasper beams.
"Why in the bloody hell are you smiling?!" Lily screamed.
"It's how I cope Auntie Lils. You'll understand by the next movie." Jasper waves her off.
Barty: The hungarian horntail. These represent very real dragons, each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple, collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg contains a clue without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions?
Dumbledore: Very well. Good luck champions. Mr Diggory at the sound of the cannon...
[The cannon fires immediately, scaring everyone in the tent. The cheers from the crowd can be heard as Cedric takes a deep breath before he leaves the tent.]
[Harry is sitting in the tent alone, when one of the flaps to the entrance of the tent opened but no one there. Harry looks confused until a gush of wind blows through the tent making him take a deep breath then smile.]
Harry: [beaming] Hello Love.
Avery: [takes off the invisibility cloak, confused] How did you know?
"Havery!" Theo clapped.
Harry: [smirking] The wind blew off your sweet smelling perfume.
Avery: [smirks, sitting next to him] How sweet?
Harry: A combination of lavender and honey. [smiling] So, amazingly sweet.
Avery: [giggles] Ok, Hilary. I came to check on how you are holding up.
Harry: [fake smiles, fake confidence] I'm doing great, Love. Prepared to [smile faults] battle a dragon.
Avery: [sits closer to Harry, grabs his hand] Harry, it's okay to be scared. Hell, I'm bloody scared for you!
Harry: You shouldn't be—
Avery: But I am! Harry you're fifteen. You should be worried about OWLs, passing potions, pulling pranks... [ looks down blushing] girls. Not dragons, dark evil wizards, and conspiracies.
Harry: I worry about all of that... except I don't worry about girls. [picks Avery's head up to maintain eye contact] I only worry about one girl. You. And you being worried makes me worried.
Avery: I'm worried about you.
Harry: You don't need to. As long as I have you, I'll never have to worry again. [leaning his forehead on hers. Both of them start to lean in to fill the gap between. Their noses touching, lips grazing...]
[Canon goes off, causing the couple to jump away.]
Many people booed, wanting the torture to end.
"So close! They were so close!" Marlene groaned.
Avery: [huffs] Memo to me, memo to me: maim Filch after the task.
Dumbledore: [over loudspeaker] Three of our champions have now faced their dragons and so each of them will proceed to the next task. And now our fourth and final contestant.
Avery: [slightly smiling] Good luck, Harry. [she brushes his messy curls away from his face, and kisses his forehead, on his scar. She goes under the invisibility cloak and disappears.]
"Havery!" Marlene yelled.
Theo pouted, "Hey that's my thing! Get your own!"
[Harry enters the rocky arena. The crowd cheering his name. As he glances around the arena, he makes eye contact with a certain Lupin girl shooting him an encouraging smile. He sees the golden egg sitting alone, he makes a run for it but the dragon appears. Harry is forced to retreat behind a rock as the dragon flames him. Harry stumbles and falls all around the arena.]
Jasper: [winces] Did he really think it would be that easy?
[He's sat with Theo and Blaise on his right and Avery, Hermione, and Ron on his left. The twins, Ginny, Luna and Neville in the row behind them. Peyton, Mateo, Cho, and Lavender in the row in front of them.]
Avery: [grunts] I swear he bloody thinks his invincible!
Peyton: [curious] Does he not know he can use his wand?
Avery: [huffs] He forgets he's a wizard. I guarantee you he forgot he could use his wand.
Harry was offended at first but then muttered, "Yeah, I kind of did forget sometimes... most of the— okay bloody hell a lot of times!"
Hermione: [leans over the rail, shouting] Your wand, Harry! Use your wand!
Harry: [takes out his wand] Accio Firebolt!
[Harry sees his broom flying towards the arena, so he jumps out from behind the rock onto his broom just as the Horntail emits a ball of fire at him. As he flies past the dragon, it tracks his every move declaring to go after the Chosen One. The shackles that were once keeping the dragon in the arena snapped.]
Avery/ Jasper: Oh shit!
[Harry races over the crowd of the arena as the dragon chases him. Going right through the crowd, everyone moves out of the way as the tail of the dragon destroys the benches.]
Twins: Well done, dragon!
Mateo: [turns to the twins confused] You're rooting for the dragon?
Fred: We root for anything that causes destruction.
George: Precisely, that's why we pull pranks with these two. [points to Jasper and Avery.]
Twins: [smirks] They cause destruction.
[Harry is flying at high speed around the Hogwarts Castle. The dragon cuts him off and whips him off his broom, he lands on the roof of the castle, hanging on for dear life.]
Harry: [groaning] I am not dying before I kiss Avery Moon Lupin!
Avery shook her head, " If you died that would have been your last words you do know that?"
"Noooo, my last words would've been 'AHHHH'. Obviously, Lupin use your head." Harry playfully scoffed.
"Oh trust me honey, I have been using it for the both of us." Avery stated.
[The dragon is clambering across the roof, strewing tiles as it goes. Harry reaches for his broom, but it's stuck.]
Harry: [grunts] Could this get any worse?!
[As he jerks his broom free, the dragon takes a swipe at him with its tail but he's back in the air. He falls a long way but regains control. He flies onto an area where there's a bridge, he flies through the gap in the bridge but the dragon claws at his broom causing the boy to lose control as he and the dragon fall down..]
[The scene shows the arena in dead silence. Hermione is clutching Avery's hand as they both look out for Harry. Then, we see a flying Harry heading back towards the arena.]
Hermione: [screams, cheering] YES! [clapping] He made it!
Avery: [beaming] Way to go, Harry!
Peyton: [dreamingly] He's amazing!
Theo: [noticing Peytons look, mutters to Blaise] Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Blaise: [mutters] Yes, I'm seeing what you're seeing.
"Ah, so you're the new Draco?" James smirked at Peyton.
Peyton nervously chuckles, "Unfortunately, I was not. Sadly, I was more of a new Parkinson."
"Oh you poor soul." Dorcas winced.
[As the crowd is cheering, we see Harry go straight towards the golden egg. As he lifts it up, the camera zooms into the egg then zooms out to the scene changing into the Gryffindor common room. Harry lifting the golden egg as his peers around him cheer him on. The Weasley twins lift the boy up on their shoulders.]
George: We knew you wouldn't die, Harry!
Fred: Lose a leg.
George: Or an arm.
Fred: Pack it in altogether.
Twins: Never!
Jasper: [tries to yell over the crowd] Liars!
Seamus: [yells to the crowd] Alright! [they get silent as he kisses the golden dragon egg, then hands it to Harry] Go on Harry, what's the clue?
Harry: [smirks, raises the egg] Who wants me to open it? [the crowd cheers yes] You want me to open it?
Avery: [smirks] Quit the dramatics Harold, and open the egg!
Harry: As you wish, darling.
[ He opens the egg and it lets out a terrible screeching noise, causing everyone to clutch their ears. The twins dropped poor Harry on the floor, causing him to fumble with the egg before successfully closing it. ]
Ron: [standing by the portrait, confused] The bloody hell was that?
[Harry looks. Hermione looks. Everyone looks. Ron standing by the portrait, suddenly in the spotlight. Tension high, awkward.]
"Awkwardddd." Peter muttered.
Fred: Alright everyone, go back to your knitting. This is going to be uncomfortable enough without all you nosy sods listening in.
[ And just like that the crowd dispersed, slightly eavesdropping. Ron and Harry awkwardly met each other halfway.]
Ron: I reckon you'd have to be barking mad to put your own name in the goblet of fire.
Harry: [sarcasm] Caught on have you. Took you long enough.
Ron: Wasn't just me who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back.
Harry: [he glances around the room, making eye contact with some as they hurriedly turn away, sarcastically says] Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better.
Ron: [shrugs] At least I warned you about the dragons.
Harry: [tilts his head confused] Hagrid warned me about the dragons.
Ron: [shakes his head, gets closer to Harry] Oh no, no I did. Don't you remember? [Harry slightly shakes his head] I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that told Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought you'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out.
"Ron clearly didn't have the brain cell the two of you share." Ariel snickered.
Harry: [narrows his eyes] W-who could possibly figure that out? That's completely mental.
"Harry finally used it." Amara laughed.
Ron: Yeah it is isn't it. Suppose I was a bit distraught.
[ The boys look at each other and start laughing and slightly high-five each other. The camera pans to the group of girls sitting on the couch behind them, looking at them confused.]
Hermione: [deadpan whisper] Boys.
Avery: [deadpan whisper] Idiotic boys. [sighs getting off the couch] Good luck to you, Mione and Jasper. Mara, Ari? We should go before curfew.
Harry: [pushes Ron out his way to get closer to Avery. grabs her hand to stop walking] Hey, Love? Thanks for the confidence boost in the tent earlier.
Avery: [smiles, rubbing her thumb his hand] No need to thank me, Harry. I meant everything I said. [kisses him on the cheek] Have a goodnight, Champ.
[As she and the girls leave out the common room, the rest of student body start to tease Harry. Making his cheeks match the red drapes in the room.]
"Too touchy." Remus groaned.
Jasmine chuckled, "We're exactly the same." She kisses his cheek close to his lips.
"But it's different cause we're us, and they're... kids!" Remus groaned.
"They're technically older than us right now, honey." Jasmine laughed.
[Next Morning. We follow a brown owl soaring through the Great Hall above the Gryffindor tables. The Golden Quartet eating breakfast, and three Ravenclaw girls walking in to join them.]
McGonagall: Morning ladies. May I have a word with you three?
Avery: Morning, Minnie? Are we in trouble?
McGonagall: [raises an eyebrow] Thankfully, no. Not this time. Just follow me, girls.
[As they follow her, Amara and Ariel whisper yell at each other pointing blame.
Amara: [whispering] She probably found out about all of your late night escapades with Jasper and now all of us are in trouble!
Ariel: [whispering] Or that you sneak out past curfew to read in the restricted section!
Amara: [whispering] At least I'm still a virgin!
Ariel: [gasps, whispers] I am too a virgin! And you will likely stay that way, the way your lips are always reading books and never snogging a boy!
"I'm actually happy to hear she was still a virgin at that time." Natalie let out a breath of relief.
Avery: [yells] Shut the bloody hell up! [huffs] Minnie said we aren't in trouble, now shut it!
McGonagall: Besides, I knew about all that already. [stops in front of her office door] Miss Lupin and I chat about it over tea once every two weeks. Now, inside.
Amara / Ariel: AVERY?!
Avery: [scoffs] Oh please, Minnie lives for the gossip.
"Nothing new." Jasmine, Destiny, and Lily shrugged. The three have tea with Minnie whenever they can to gossip.
[The girls sat on the couch in the office as McGonagall slightly tidied up as she told them the news.]
McGonagall: [placing books back on the shelves] As you already know, the Triwizard Tournament has a ball. I already know Mrs. Lupin told you about it. Which is why I want you three to help put on the ball plus other festivities for the tournament. [smiles and claps her hands]
Avery: [gasps] YAY! I would love to help put on the ball!
Amara / Ariel: [jumps out their seat] SO DO WE!
McGonagall: [chuckles] Of course girls. All three of you are helping. Not just me of course. [she glances to the door.]
Jasmine: [walking into the office, smirking] I need your help too of course.
"MILF— I mean smash! I mean... what game are we playing again?" Theo nervously chuckled.
Remus glared at the boy, "We're playing the don't get mauled by a werewolf game."
"Avery and Jasper are the experts of that game so I'll just sit this one out." Theo nodded, a little scared.
Avery: [gasps] Mum! [runs over to hug her mother] Whatever it is, yes! A million times yes!
McGonagall: Many parents of students have asked Mrs. Lupin to design and/or alter their children's dress robes and gowns for the ball. And she will need your help to keep all her orders and clients in order.
Jasmine: Seeming as half of the student body are scared of you lot.
McGonagall: And don't worry, your professors know already to excuse your tardiness and absences.
Jasmine: [smiling at the girls] So what do you say girls?
Aceys: [beaming] HELL YEAH!!
