Harry's Broom.

¯°•º¤◆¤º°¯

Nobodies POV

Arena - Tournament stage 1.

The crowds are cheering, people are taking bets.

Descending into the clearing itself, where Fred and George conduct a few last minute transaction.

"Step up, mates! Who fancies a flutter on tonight's bloodbath?" Fred ask "Smart money's on Krum to survive!" George exclaims "One'll get you ten if Potter dies. Ow!" Fred says

Hermione pops Fred hard in the arm, glowering disapprovingly as...

Ezra chuckles, shaking his head at Fred and George, despite them betting against his cousin.

"We'd cut Harry in, of course..." George says

Fred's eyes meet Ezra's and he smiles, gaining a small smile in return.

"Wait isn't that Charlie?" Hermione ask

Ezra and Fred turn to see the dragon tamer, making Fred's stomach drop when he notices the glow on Ezra's face as he spots his boyfriend.

Charlie's eyes meet Ezra's and he sends his small boyfriend a wink. "I'm guessing you already saw him?" Xander ask with a smirk.

"Yup and I did something stupid, which I'll pay for later, but it's going to be worth it." Ezra says with a smirk

"Gross." Hermione says

Ezra chuckles.

....

Waiting tent.

Harry is pacing nervously. Hermione is standing by the tent door whispering in.

"Pssst! Harry? Is that you?" Hermione ask "Yeah." Harry says

"How are you feeling? OK? The key is to concentrate. After that you just have to..." Hermione says

"Battle a dragon." Harry says

Hermione enters the tent and they hug. A bright camera flashes, Rita Skeeter the journalist approaches.

"Young love! Ohh how.. stirring. If everything goes unfortunately today you might make the front page." Rita says

To Rita. "You have no business here. This tent is for champions and friends." Victor says

"No matter. We've got what we wanted." Rita says

Rita leaves and Dumbledore enters.

"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." Dumbledore says

The champions gather around him in a circle. "What are you doing here Miss Granger?" Dumbledore ask

"Oh um.. Sorry I'll just go." Hermione says

"Barty. The bag." Dumbledore says

"Champions, in a circle around me. Miss Delacour over here, Mr Krum, and Potter over here. Right. Miss Delacour, if you will..." Barty says

Barty holds up a bag. Fleur takes out a little green dragon. "The welsh green. Mr Krum..." Barty says

Viktor takes another out. "The chinese fireball. Oooooh." Barty says

Cedric picks one.

"The swedish short-snout. Which leaves..." Barty says "The horntail..." Harry says

"What's that boy?" Barty ask

"Nothing." Harry says

Harry puts his hand in the bag and pulls out the dragon.

"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?" Barty ask

"Very well. Good luck champions. Mr Diggory the sound of the cannon..." Dumbledore says

The cannon fires immediately.

....

Harry is sitting alone nervously.

Loudspeaker. "Three of our champions have now faced their dragons and so each one of them will proceed to the next task. And now our fourth and final contestant." Dumbledore says

Harry enters the rocky arena. The crowd are cheering his name. He sees the golden egg sitting alone, he makes a run for it but the dragon appears. Harry's forced to retreat behind a rock as the dragon flames him. Harry stumbles and falls around the arena.

"Your wand harry! Your wand!" Hermione and Ezra yell, they were at the edge of their seats, gripping tightly at each other, both holding back the other.

Harry summons a broom. He jumps on and flies off, the dragon gives chase. The dragon bursts through the crowd and they look stunned.

....

Hogwarts sky.

Harry is flying at high speed around the Hogwarts buildings. The dragon cuts him off and whips him off his broom, he lands on the roof of Hogwarts, hanging on for dear life.

The dragon is clambering across the roof, strewing tiles as it goes. Harry reaches his broom but it's stuck. He jerks it loose and lets go of the roof just in time before the dragon swipes at him.

He falls a long way but regains control. He flies on to an area with a bridge, he flies through a gap in the bridge but the dragon crashes into it and falls into the water.

....

Arena.

The crowds are mostly silent. Ezra's eyes were wide. We see Harry flying towards us and the crowd erupts, Ezra screaming at the top of his lungs. Harry goes straight for the golden egg.
