Champions VS Dragons
Estelle's POV
So Rita's article was practically all about Harry. She wrote nothing but lies. Saying he was twelve instead of fourteen. Saying he still cries at night over his parents deaths. Also said he's dating Hermione. There was a small part about the other champions and she used one of the photos I was in for the article. My friends wouldn't leave me alone about it.
Anyway I've had a lot of homework since then. There have been two quidditch friendlies. Hufflepuff vs Gryffindor. Then Ravenclaw went against the winner from that match. Anyway one night I decided to go for a walk in the forest as Raven and saw four mother dragons in cages. Surrounded by dragon tamers. I would of alerted the athorities, if I didn't see Charlie Weasley and realized they were here for the first task of the tournament.
It's now time for the first task. I researched all four dragons since I saw them in the forest. There was a Welsh Green, Swedish short-snout, Chinese Fireball and Hungarian Horntail. That being the most dangerous. I pray Cedric don't have to face her, nor Harry. I noticed Hermione is helping Harry train as Ron is still ignoring him. What an idiot.
I sit with Angelina and our friends in the stands. As Ludo Bagman appears. "Welcome to the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. I shall be your commentator" he states. "For today's task, the champions must face mother dragons, guarding their eggs. Among the eggs, is one golden egg. They must retrieve the egg with minimum damage to themselves, the dragon and the real eggs. Each judge will then give them a score out of ten" he explains.
"Sounds simple, but we all know it won't be" I state. Alicia and Patricia nod their heads in agreement. An attractive silvery-blue dragon is brought into the stadium with her eggs. "That's a Swedish Shor-snout" I tell my friends.
"The first champion is Cedric Diggory and he shall be facing the Swedish Short-Snout. The Swedish Short-Snout is a species of dragon native to the uninhabited mountains of Sweden. It is a silvery blue dragon that breathes a brilliant blue flame" Ludo explains to us.
"The Short-Snout has less deaths to its name than most dragons. However, the Short-Snout is a dangerous species due to its agile flying ability and extremely hot fire" I state.
"You read up on each dragon, didn't you?" Angelina asks me.
"Of course I did, I was bored" I tell her with a smile. Cedric enters the ring wand at the ready. The dragon hasn't notice him and he turns a rock into a Labrador. It gets the mother dragon's attention as Cedric hides behind a rock.
The Labrador takes her attention away from the nest. Cedric dashes over and grabs the golden egg. But the dragon notices him. She shots a stream of blue fire at him and he ducks. But I notice he gets burned. But the dragon tamers appear and take her away with her eggs. Before she can do anything else. Cedric is lead to the medical tent.
The next dragon was the Common Welsh Green and Fleur faced it. She managed to get it to fall asleep. But as she retrieved the egg, the dragon snored. Letting out a stream of fire, which set her skirt on fire. It was actually quiet amusing.
The third dragon is the Chinese Fireball and Viktor faced it. It made me feel nervous for Harry, who'd have to face the Hungarian Horntail. But I focused on Viktor's fight with his dragon. He used the Conjunctivitis Curse to blind the dragon and retrieve his egg. However, he got docked points when the dragon stumbled around and smashed half of the real eggs.
Now it's Harry's turn to face the Hungarian Horntail. He summoned his firebolt and remained hidden until it arrived. He then managed to lure her away from the eggs, by trying to get her to fly. He got injured doing so. But he finally got her away from the eggs and he dived.
Before the dragon knew what he had done, or where he had disappeared to. He was speeding toward the ground as fast as he could go, toward the eggs now unprotected by her clawed front legs. Harry had taken his hands off his Firebolt and had seized the golden egg. Then with a huge spurt of speed, he was off, he was soaring out over the stands. The heavy egg safely under his uninjured arm.
"Will you look at that! Our youngest champion is quickest to get his egg! Well, this is going to shorten the odds on Mr. Potter!" Bagman yells. The dragon keepers rushing forward to subdue the Horntail. Professor McGonagall, Professor Moody, and Hagrid hurrying to meet Harry.
"That was excellent, Potter!" we hear McGonagall shout.
"Yeh did it, Harry!" Hagrid yells. Harry smiles and goes to the first aid tent. Madame Maxine gives Harry an eight, Crouch a nine, Dumbledore nine, Bagman a ten and lastly he received a four from Karkaroff.
"Four? You lousy, biased scum-bag, you gave Krum ten!" Angelina bellows.
"It could of been worse" I tell her.
"She has a point" Patricia states.
"You gonna go see Cedric?" Alicia asks me.
"No, why would I?" I ask her. Though I was planning on sneaking off and going to see him as Raven. "Anyway, I have homework and left my bag in the dorm. See you guys later" I say and left.
Third persons POV
"She's so going to go see Cedric" Patricia says.
"Totally" Alicia agrees.
"Won't be long now until the ball is announced, remember the plan" Angelina tells them. They nod their heads and left. Meanwhile Estelle had turned into Raven and snuck into the medical tent, to check on Cedric and Harry.
Estelle's POV
I jump up onto Cedric's bed. "Hey Raven, enjoy the show?" he asks me. I meow.
"Mr Diggory, no animals in the medical tent!" Madame Pomfrey snaps.
"Sorry Madame Pomfrey" he says sheepishly.
"Raven!" Fleur cries coming over. "Did you see me girl?" she asks and I meow. Harry and Viktor join us. Smiling down at me.
"Oh very well" Madame Pomfrey mutters and left.
"What score did you get Harry?" Cedric asks. Harry tells them. "Means you and Viktor are tied for first place. Followed by me, then Fleur" he states. Ludo appears and tells them all that the golden eggs they retrieved hold the clue to the next task. Which will be on February 24th.
