Harry P.O.V.

I was obviously nervous. Walking down to the tent where the rest of the champions were, my stomach was in knots, I felt sick. I, of course, was first! I heard a sound outside the tent so I walked closer to the curtain, "psstts..." It sounded like Hermione. "Harry? Is that you?" 

"Yeah, 'Mione?" I responded stepping closer.

"Yes, it's me, oh Harry, I'm so scared! What if something happens to you out there!" She sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

"I'll be okay, have some faith in me." I tried sounding as confident as possible but I bet she saw right through it.

"I want to hug you."

"Me too." Hermione flung open the curtain and rushed into my arms, it felt nice to be reassured in that moment. I was terrified and her caring embrace calmed me a little bit, until I focused on how she hugged me like it was the last time. *Flash* *Click* *Boom* Breaking apart from 'Mione, I saw skeeter smiling at us with her camera man behind her, "Aww. Young love, how sweet." I gritted my teeth, she just had to put more stress on me!

Draco P.O.V.

Why? I wanted to see him...but why? Maybe to stress him more, but it's not like I want him so distracted he'll end up dead. I hope he didn't get the strongest dragon, it would kill him, he's to unfocused. Why am I even wondering about Potter? I turn to Pansy to find her devouring Blaise's face, I pressed my lips together in a flat line and turned back to the Arena. The Dragon spawning there, and of course, it's the toughest one they have. My backed straightened in anticipation. Potter ran out, immediately being shot at, running to duck behind a bolder and casting a spell I couldn't see. Poking his head around the corner and running behind another bolder to jump over it behind a smaller rock. Next time his head pops up he's on a broom, flying in and out of the Dragon's range, getting stuck on a roof tower and then almost falling off his broom plenty of times. Until he made eye contact with me and swooped down to pick up the egg. He had it. No way, Potter just beat their biggest dragon, at least he didn't die. I didn't understand why he had me so worried. Maybe it's the thought of losing your competition? Losing someone who means more than others. Hell no, not in that way.

Harry P.O.V.

I can't believe I got the egg! Everyone had made a crowd around me in the tent, Fred and George lifted me on their shoulders while others chanted my name, "Want to see what's inside it?" I shouted, a row of "woos" shot through the crowd. "Let me hear you!" I said and everyone got louder. Smiling, I reached down and twisted the pin at the top of the golden egg, the sides unhinged from each other and a screeching sound filled the tent. Without hesitation, the boys dropped me to the floor, landing face first I lost my glasses for a second. Searching around for them to quickly close the egg. Everyone calmed down and steadied their breathing again after the scare, My nose felt flat and my glasses were pressing into my skin. 

Once we got back into our common room I was sitting on the couch, playing with the egg in my hands, how is screaming supposed to give me a hint for the next task? Hermione walked through passing to go to the library, "Hey, 'Mione?" She turned to me, "Yeah?"

"Do you know anything that this might be trying to tell me?" I said lifting up the egg.

She shook her head, "Sorry Harry, but I haven't gotten a clue." I sighed and looked back down at the object, like I needed anymore stress in my life, just great! I have to get ready for class soon, no way in Merlin's name am I going to be able to focus.

Malfoy P.O.V.

Not wanting to walk in on Potter and that girl, I decided I would think in the perfects bath again, nobody goes in there in the middle of the day anyways. I walk in to see Moaning Myrtle leaning up against a very tense looking Potter. Walking over to the two and squatting down next to the bath, "Myrtle, he's got himself a girly." I said raising my eyebrow while looking down to fix my sleeve. "whaaaaaaaee." She hollered before flying away. "Wow, Mental, that one is." I said, still not looking up.

"Malfoy? Why are you in the perfect's bathroom? You're not a perfect." 

"I could ask the same thing of you." I said locking him into eye contact almost immediately, after a while of staring at each other, he broke away, which caused me to unknowingly frown at first. I sighed, "I come in here often, get away from you annoying prats." I said making sure to raise my chin up high.

"Oh," He looked down into the water, the bubbles slowly dissolving, he quickly piled what was left over himself, "Malfoy, I'm naked right now, I would rather not be here talking with you at the moment." 

"Err, right," I said turning my head away from him, "Kind of awkward for me to talking to you while you're naked I guess." I stood up and went to the window, It's Harry, isn't it? Granger's words randomly appeared in my head, hell no. I stood there, back to Potter, awkwardly looking through the tinted glass window into the empty abyss. After a little bit of silence I heard the water move, then wet footsteps farther down the room. Guessing Potter was grabbing a towel. "Y'know there's a drying spell right." Pause. 

"Are you serious?" His voice was louder then I had expected it to be, "No way! You mean to tell me I've been drying off the muggle way when one flick could do the job?" I laughed, hanging my head down and shaking it back and forth. I never really laugh...

I cleared my throat, "Are you covered?"

"Ergh, yeah." I turned around to see a wet, muscular body with a towel wrapped around his waist and hair somehow messier then when it was dry. I will not be ashamed to admit that I was so unfocused for a few seconds, who ever expected that to be under Potter's old raggedy clothes. I cleared my throat once again and grabbed my wand from my pocket, "Okay so this is how you move your hand, assuming you don't want your enemy pointing a wand at you, I'll just show you instead." I made a circular motion with my wrist before drawing a big z. "Got it?" I asked looking over to see Potter with his tongue out the side of his mouth and his brows furrowed in concentration. "Yeah, that's it, and then you say lempherito voda." 

"Lempherito voda! Oh, wow!" He said practically jumping like a child filled with joy, "That's amazing, it actually works! Thanks Malfoy!" I smiled at him, realizing I did so he tilted his head sideways at me, I turned away and recovered my mask with a serious face on, I shrugged. Looking down by the bath I noticed the golden egg, "Do you know what the hint is?" I asked nodding my head in the egg's direction. 

"Yeah, well sort of, it just means that the next task is under water." 

"Oh, well maybe learn how to swim." I said smirking. Potter let out an involuntary chuckle, clearing his throat and looking at his clothes, "I'm gonna get dressed..." I stood there for a second, once again staring at him, until I realized what he had said. Nodding my head, I turned and walked out.
