There was a strange feeling in the air on Sunday morning. With the first task being so close, all Celeste wanted to do was calm her nerves. Harry and Celeste waited until Hermione had swallowed her last spoonful of porridge, then dragged her out onto the grounds. There, they told her all about the dragons, and about everything Sirius had said, while they took another long walk around the lake.
Alarmed as she was by Sirius's warnings about Karkaroff, Hermione still thought that the dragons were the more pressing problem.
"Let's just try and keep you alive until Tuesday evening," she said desperately, "and then we can worry about Karkaroff."
They walked three times around the lake, trying all the way to think of a simple spell that would subdue a dragon. Nothing whatsoever occurred to them, so they retired to the library instead. Harry, Celeste, and Hemione pulled down every book they could find on dragons, and the three of them set to work searching through the large pile.
"Talon-clipping by charms...treating scale-rot...' This is no good, this is for nutters like Hagrid who want to keep them healthy..."
"Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful spells can penetrate...' But Dad said a simple one would do it..."
"Let's try some simple spellbooks, then," Harry said, throwing aside Men Who Love Dragons Too Much.
Harry returned to the table with a pile of spellbooks, set them down, gave one to Celeste, and began to flick through each in turn, Hermione whispering nonstop at his elbow.
"Well, there are Switching Spells...but what's the point of Switching it? Unless you swapped its fangs for wine-gums or something that would make it less dangerous...The trouble is, like that book said, not much is going to get through a dragon's hide...I'd say Transfigure it, but something that big, you haven't got a hope, I doubt even Professor McGonagall...unless you're supposed to put the spell on yourself? Maybe to give yourself extra powers? But they're not simple spells, I mean, we haven't done any of those in class, I only know about them because I've been doing O.W.L. practice papers..."
"Hermione," Harry said, through gritted teeth, "will you shut up for a bit, please? I'm trying to concentrate."
"Just try to read in your head," Celeste said politely unlike Harry.
As the three worked in silence, time seemed to pass terribly. Celeste found herself humming tunes in her head to help keep herself from falling asleep due to boredom. Suddenly, Hermione's voice brought Celeste back to the present.
