The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Five

Today is the day of the first task. Harry has been by my side all day, he won't leave me alone at all. Right now I am pleading with him to leave my side for a little so I can use the bathroom.

"Harry. I really have to go. I'll be back in a second, now let go." Harry just shakes his head, holding onto me even tighter. I try to push him off but he has such a grip on me.

"Fine. We can both go." I tell him, as I start walking towards the bathroom. Harry right on me, once we reach the bathroom I look around. To make sure no one is around to see me taking Harry in the bathroom with me. Once I make sure no one is there I shove him in with me.

I push Harry into the furthest corner. And walk to the stall, before I can walk into the stall I turn to look at Harry.

"Harry."

"Yes?"

"Cover your ears. Will you."

He nods covering his ears as I walk into the stall. I try to go as quickly so Harry doesn't have to wait long. As soon as I walk out of the stall. Harry jumps back by my side. I sigh and go to wash my hands. As I wash them Harry asks me. "How did you and Cedric's playdate go?"

"It went fine. It was going good, but then he said something, and the entire mood was ruined."

Harry nods at me as we leave the bathroom together, we walk hand in hand in the hallway. Until we are pulled away by Professor Moody.

"Harry must have three hours alone. Before he goes into the tournament, so if you must leave please."

I just nod, letting go of Harry's hand. And saying bye and kissing him on the cheek. But as I do Harry is soon on the ground. Professor Moody pushed him down. I stare in shock, while he stares back at me.

"No touching like that, I mean it, Mr. Potter."

"But she's the one who did it."

"Quiet. Do as I say and follow me."

Harry gets up and follows Moody away. I can't even wave to Harry as Moody already pushed him away from me. I sigh and walk off.

'I hope Harry will be okay.'

--------------------

Harry right now is in the tents with the other champions. Hermione is leading me to the tents, so we can talk to Harry before he leaves off to do this dangerous task. We finally make it to the tent. I walk to the tent first, I peek in and see Harry pacing around.

"Harry," I whisper, only loud enough for Harry to hear. He turns around and comes closer to the edge of the tent.

"Athena?"

"Yes, it's me. Hermione is here too. How are you feeling?"

"I feel amazing. I just have to go battle a dragon." Harry tells me sarcastically, I roll my eyes and let Hermione take over talking.

"The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to..."

"Battle a dragon."

My heart drops at how sad Harry sounded. I get in front of Hermione and run into the tent. Jumping onto Harry giving him the biggest hug ever, as I run my hands through his hair.

As I'm doing that. I hear a camera click, I turn my head to where the sound came from. It's Rita Skeeter, she has the biggest smile turning to us and saying.

"Young love! Oh, how.. stirring. If everything goes, unfortunately, today you might make the front page." She tells us, I just stare in shock. Who does this lady think she is, she is just a terrible person who lies to get a better story.

"You have no business here. This tent is for champions and friends." Krum says to her. "No matter. We've got what we wanted." That nasty Rita Skeeter replies to Krum. As she walks out Dumbledore walks in, I try to then sneak out of the tent but someone pulls me back. It's Cedric.

"Bloody hell. What are you doing? Get off of me!"

He doesn't listen and pulls me closer. While also trying to block the exit.

"Listen, Athena, I'm sorry."

"And listen, I don't care."

And with that, I walk out of the tent. Hermione still inside, I walked out without telling Harry good luck. That git Cedric ruins everything. I just hope Harry's alright.

-------------------------

All the other champions have gone and completed the task. There is only one person left and it is Harry. I feel so scared for him. I hope he does okay.

"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 calls out, I stand on my tippy toes. Squeezing Hermione's hand extra hard.

Harry then enters the rocky arena, I started screaming his name louder than anyone else. Harry sees the golden egg sitting there. He tries to make a run for it, but a big dragon appears blocking him. Harry runs away as the dragon blows flames his way.

The dragon keeps attacking him, everywhere he runs the dragon is already there. Blowing red hot flames at him. I start to get worried it doesn't look good. I turn to Hermione and ask her.

"His wand, he can use his wand right?" She nods and we both scream out.

"Your wand Harry! Use your Wand!"

Harry then points his wand out. Yelling out a spell.

"Accio Firebolt!"

Harry runs behind a big rock. As he waits for his broom. And then I see it, his broom was soring in the air towards him. He did it, Harry did it!

He jumps on the broom as it flies by, we all scream cheers of joy! Harry tries to grab the golden egg, but he fails to do so missing it by an inch. As he flies off higher into the sky, the dragon breaks out of his chains. Following behind Harry so closely. Everyone cheers for the dragon breaking loose.

"Yeah! well done, dragon!" George yells out. I quickly turn towards him and rip his hat off, dropping it below us.

"Why? Mum just sewed that!" He yells trying to grab my hat. I just duck to avoid his arm. "My mum just sewed this too, so stop it!" I scream back to him. He huffs giving up while I look back in the sky waiting for Harry to come back down.

It's been a while and nothing. He hasn't come back yet, everyone is deadly silent just staring at the distance. Where Harry just flew off too. I'm starting to anxiously bounce my leg up and down. He still isn't back, did the dragon kill him?

But before I can think anything else. I see a figure coming into the distance, it's Harry. Everyone starts cheering including me.

Harry has all his focus on the golden egg. Trying to grab it, he flies right by it like last time. But this time he grabs it! He has the egg! I start jumping and cheering even louder.

"Yes! He did it! Yes!"

A/N

The first task is done! The Yule ball is coming up, who do you think Athena is going with? I'm so excited to write the Yule ball part. Lately for some reason I've been real confused about my chapters for some reason and I keep going back to read them to make sure they make sense I don't know why, and that's what chapters have been coming a couple days late it's because I keep re reading everything. But it's okay because now I release my chapters in three every time I update it will be three chapters! I hope you enjoyed this tell me if there is any errors. I love you all bye!
