(Ophelia's POV)
Today is the day of the first task. Dumbledore and the Professors made a compromise, since Potter and I are so young, they told us if one is in trouble or injured the other can step in for them. So for this occasion, I changed into my green robes that display 'MENDOZA' on the back
All five of us pacing nervously around the tent
"Psst! Psst!" Someone whispers
"Move Granger!" Someone else sneers
Suddenly the tent opens, Draco and Granger looking around for us
"What are you doing here?" I grin
"Um...I just came to tell you...uh..be careful" Draco stutters
"No need to worry blondie, I'm probably not even going to participate this task" I assure him, I know he could sense my nervousness
"I just..." he starts but I suddenly hug him, then a bright flash
"Young Love!" Rita Skeeter sighs, I realize Potter and Granger were hugging too
"How...stirring" she smirks
"If everything goes...unfortunately today, you four may make the front page" she says hugging Draco and Potter, them scowling at each other
"You have no business here! This tent for champions...and friends!" Krum glares at her
"No matter" Rita stutters
"We've got what we wanted" she mumbles as she leaves the tent, her camera man taking a quick picture of Krum and Cedric
"Good day champions! Gather round please" Dumbledore grins as him, Crouch and the other headmasters enter the tent
"Now you've waited, you've wondered, and at last the moment has arrived. The moment only five of you can fully appreciate—" he continues
"What are you doing here Mr.Malfoy? And Ms.Granger?" he asks noticing them standing behind him, keeping distance from each other of course
"Oh um...I'll just go..." Granger mumbles as she leaves
Draco silently waved at me as he also leaves the tent and going to the stands
"Barty, the bag" Dumbledore beckons Crouch to the middle
"Champions, in a circle around me" Barty says
I was hesitant to join since I'd most likely not even compete
"Don't be shy Ms.Mendoza" Dumbledore grins slightly pulling me forward so I'm right next to Potter
"Ms.Delacour, if you will" Crouch opens his bag, Fleur hesitantly puts her hand in burning herself in the midst
She pulls a little green dragon, it kinda reminded me of the dragon Hagrid hatched in first year
"The Welsh Green!" Crouch exclaims
"Now, Mr.Krum" he mumbles as Krum puts his hand in, reaching for a tiny dragon
"The Chinese Fireball, ooooo!" Crouch exclaims then moves on to Cedric
"The Swedish Short-snout" he grins
"Which leaves—"
"The Horntail" Potter mumbles
"What was that boy?" Crouch asks
"Nothing..." Potter quickly answers as he puts his hand in the bag, pulling out a very spiky dragon. Most likely the most dangerous out of the four.
"The Hungarian Horntail"
"These represent four very real dragons, each of which have been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple: Collect the egg" Crouch explains
