"DRAGONS! The first task is dragons!!" Alora exclaimed. "Bloody hell I would kill to go against a dragon!" Alora got told by Harry what the first task was. Everyone even Ron was still mad at Harry except for Alora, she knew he didn't do anything wrong.
"I bet Harry did." Ron mumbled.
"Oh shut up Ron, Harry's your best friend, how are you still mad at him?" Alora asked "Oh please Alora, he put his name in the Goblet." Ron snapped. "How Ron? How did Harry put is name in the Goblet of Fire?" Alora asked moving closer to Ron. "Well......I don't know but-" "Then Harry couldn't have put his name in there Ron! There was an aging line! Not even Fred, George, or me could get through. Now quit throwing one of your great big tantrums and believe your best friend god dammit!" Alora yelled. Everyone that was in the common room looked at Alora mouths open.
Ron sat starstruck. "Bloody hell Alora." He began. "Bloody hell yourself you big git." Alora interrupted him. Fred and George looked at Alora and gave her a thumbs up and let out a laugh.
Harry came down from the dorms; everyone stared at him. Alora and Harry have been walking to their classes together, Harry felt safe with Alora, not as his bodyguard, as a friend. "You ready to go Harry?" Alora asked. "Yeah..." Harry said quietly. "Good you gotta be good and ready for this task!" Alora exclaimed. "We'll come with you guys, we wanna get a good seat." George said. Fred, George, Alora, and Harry went to the tent where the all champions met. "Good luck Harry!" Alora said. Harry gave her a smile with a thumbs up and the three went to find a seat.
Fred put out his hand to help her up the stairs to her seat. She didn't need the help, but it gave her an excuse to hold Fred's hand. They sat in the middle of the fifth row up. "I'm so excited! I wonder what kind of dragon Harry'll get." Alora said adrenaline rushing through her body.
"Hopefully Harry did his research, these dragons are pretty vicious." Fred said putting his feet up on the bench below us. The dragons that were going to be used for this task was: the Hungarian Horntail, the Chinese Fireball, the Swedish Short-Snout, and a Welsh Green. "Yeah and the only thing Harry knows what to do is how to unlock a door and make a feather fly." George said also putting his feet up.
Alora thought for a moment, "Well.....he could use is broom can't he? There's no rule against it." She said. "Of course he can, there's no rules in this Tournament!" Hermione said sitting behind the three with Ron sitting next to her quiet, but excited to see the dragons. "Sure theres rules Granger! Don't die!" Fred exclaimed. "It's alright Hermione, Harry will be fine, he's smart, he'll figure it out." Alora said seeing the nervousness on Hermione's face.
At the sound of a horn the first task had started. The four champions went out in turns, Cedric Diggory first, Fleur Delacour second, Viktor Krum third, and Harry last. When Cedric went everyone cheered. - the Hufflepuffs the loudest - Cedric chose the Swedish Short-Snout dragon. He did a clever spell to turn a rock into a golden retriever, the dragon chased after it and Cedric went after his egg. Fleur put a trance charm on her Welsh Green dragon, which Alora was very impressed by and she got her egg. Viktor Krum picked the Chinese Fireball and he used the Conjunctivitis Curse, the Slytherin table stood and cheered while Krum got his egg.
Then it was Harry's turn. As he came out from the tent everyone -except the Slytherins - cheered, Alora was pretty sure a lot of the cheers were hoping for Harry to get killed. "Go Harry!!" Alora and Hermione cheered in usion. Ron still sat silent looking down at his shoes. Harry had picked the Hungarian Horntail probably the most dangerous dragon he would ever face.
While Harry was figuring out what to do to get his egg Fred whispered in Alora's ear. "Hey, love what you say we get outta here?" Alora looked at him. "But, Fred what about—oh, yeah lets go."
"I'm gonna go get some food do you guys want anything?" Alora said standing up. They were all focused on the task and Harry they didn't notice Alora said anything. "Alright be right back, Fred."
Fred got up and the two went down to the empty castle. They ran up and down different corridors and put charms on different objects to make them come to life.
Fred heard the blow of a horn, that meant the first task was over. "C'mon Alora we gotta get back." He ran and picked Alora up and threw her over his shoulder. "Fred!" Alora squealed.
By the time they got back to the stadium Harry was walking out with Ron, Hermione, and George. "Where the bloody hell have you two been?" Fred and Alora looked at each other. "Umm......toilet, there was a long line for the toilets." Alora elbowed Fred in the ribs. "Ow!.....Oh yeah super long." George looked at the both of them and laughed.
"So Harry how'd you do?" Alora asked putting her arm around him. "Good look! I got the egg!" Harry held up his golden egg. "Woah! Seeing one up close! Never thought I'd see the day!" Alora exclaimed.
They all went back to the castle for dinner. Dumbledore congratulated the champions, but didn't say anything about what the next task would be.
In the common room all the Gryffindors were celebrating Harry's victory. Ron handed Harry his golden egg. "Open it Harry!" Ron said. "Who wants me to open it?" Harry yelled. Everyone chanted "Yeah!!" When Harry opened his egg a terrible screeching came from it. Everyone covered their ears, "Close it Harry!" Alora exclaimed. After Harry closed his egg everyone stared confused.
Harry was sitting on the couch after every one else went to bed staring at his egg. Alora was going up to bed when she noticed him. She went and sat next to him.
"Hey what's up?" Alora asked. "Just, I don't know how to figure out this egg, or what the next task is." Harry said continuing to look at the golden egg. Alora sat for and thought for a second. "Well, maybe it's a clue. Like it's in the egg, you just have to figure it out like a puzzle. You know Dumbledore likes riddles and puzzles and stuff." Alora said reassuring Harry. "Hmm, yeah that's true." He said with a yawn. "How about we go to bed it's getting late" Alora said letting out a giggle.
They walked up the stair case to the dorm rooms. "Hey thanks Alora I really appreciate what you've done for me. I can't say thank you enough." Alora smiled looking at Harry. "Of course Harry, that's why I'm here, if you need anything you come to me ok." Harry shook his head and smiled. Alora gave Harry a hug and he hugged her back. "Goodnight Harry." "Goodnight Alora."
