Chapter 5

" Rain Scarlett~ " The Weasley twins were two of the Gryffindors who were famous for their pranks and mayhem, though never meeting them she wished she had done it sooner. " We heard from a little bird that you require some guidance. " The first task was tomorrow and she had a thought as to what she would need, though she didn't know exactly what the task was as all she knew was that dragons were involved. " Depends, who are the two of you? "

" Well, we're huge fans of your work, the pranks. Fred and George Weasley, at your service. " She looked at Fred who reached into his pocket. " Whiz bangs. Something George and I have been working on is one of our products. We'd like for you to use it for your first task. " Rain stated at his hand. " What do they do? "

" They're fireworks, we learned from our brother Charlie that many dragons hate the sounds of fireworks. But these ones are special and are guaranteed to give you a show. " She wanted to take it but retracted her hand. " I don't have money. " The twins laughed in unison. " We don't want money, it's just a way for you to promote our products. "

" Take them, Scarlett. We don't have all day now. " Her lips lifted and she took the Whiz bangs. " Thank you, guys. "

" You're friends with the Weasley's now? Pathetic. " Rain scoffed, she sat at the edge of the black lake, sitting under a tree. Looking over her shoulder was the sight of Draco Malfoy who himself wandered the black lake. " That's my spot. " He stated. " Yeah well, I'm here now. So sit or leave. " The Slytherin rolled his eyes. " Scoot over then Scarlett. " Rain moved over, the blond sat down beside her and the two sat in silence. " The first task is tomorrow. "

The first task.

Harry glanced at Rain and Fleur, Rain sat on the chair and Fleur tugged braids in her hair but the two were aggressively speaking French to one another. They talked fast and seemed to be arguing, or that's what Cedric and Harry thought.

No, they were sure, they were arguing in French. Fleur tugged on Rain's hair and Rain cursed out and began swatting at her hands. The French got louder and more intense. Victor Krum stood to the side but occasionally glanced at the two arguing girls. Finally, after a few minutes of arguing Rain swatted Fleur's hand away from her head and stood up from her seat. She walked over to the two Gryffindor boys. " Your hair looks nice. " Cedric said with a smile, Rain sighed and ran a hand over her head that held tight Dutch braids. " Fleur almost pulled my hair out in the making. " Cedric found himself liking her French accent, it was unique. " It suits you. " Her cheeks flushed red, and the two smiled. Before she could respond a flash of light blinded them, pointed at the two. Rita Skeeter had walked in. " Young love, how striking. " The floating feather began writing on her notepad. The two older wizards grimaced at the sight of the writer. " No, we're not- "

" If everything goes unfortunately today, you two might even make the front page. "

" You have no business here, this tent is for friends and champions. " Viktor Krum had said, his thick Russian accent echoed in the tent. " No matter. We've got what we wanted. " Rita had left with the cameraman. " Thank you. " Rain had said to Victor Krum, he nodded his head and turned his back to the two.

" Good day champions, now gather around. Now you've waited and wondered and the moment has arrived. The moment the five of you can fully appreciate, Barty, the bag. "

" Champions, gather around me, Fleur, Rain over here. Mr. Krum. Potter, um, Potter. " Barty Crouch had ushered us around in a circle, holding a small sack in his hands. " Now, Ms. Delacord. " He held out the bag, Fleur reached her hand inside and pulled out a small decoy dragon. " The Welsh green. " The bag hissed as he held it in front of Rain. " Ms. Maxime. " As Rain pit her fingers in the back she felt a dragon nip at her fingers. She flinched before taking out a dragon. " The Spanish firetail. " Madam Maxime had looked between Fleur and Rain, the two girls looked at their headmaster and back at the dragons in their hands. " These represent five very real dragons each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple: collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg, contains a clue, without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions? " Harry had glanced at Rain, Rain glanced at Fleur who glanced back. " Very well, good luck, champions, Mr. Diggory, at the sound of the cannon you may- " The cannon shot in seconds, and everyone jumped back as the boom echoed in the sky and made the tent move.

Cedric hesitated before walking forward, breathing out nervously. " Diggory! Diggory! Diggory! " It echoed outside of the tent. The room was quiet as Cedric stepped forward. " Goodluck. " Rain had said, Cedric glanced back at her, and smiled, before exiting the tent. The roaring of a dragon shook the tent, Rain let out a shaking breath.

Rain had tried to hide her nervousness but she failed to do so when she picked at her nails and fixed her hair off her shoulders. The Whiz bangs in her pocket as she clutches them to her side. The moment she was selected to go next she sucked in her breath and stood up from her spot, sending a glance at Harry who sat with his knees to his chest on the same bed she had previously sat on.

" Three of our five contestants had faced their dragon and now will proceed to the next task, and now our fourth contestant, Ms. Rain Maxime. " The cannon blew and she pushed past the curtain to enter the stadium. The rocks surrounded her and her name was chanted loudly and repeatedly throughout the stadium. The dragon was nowhere to be seen and she took the opportunity to enter the rocky stadium, doing so the dragon flew down. Rocks crushed underneath the loud dragon. The dragon was yellow with a flaming fire tail, its teeth were razor sharp and snapped at her the moment its eyes fixated on her. She pulled out her wand. " Aqua eructo! " Water burst from the tip of her wand, steaming, it flew at the dragon that squealed and roared in pain. The fire on its tail diminished quickly and it turned to flick its now plain tail at her, she yelped as the rocks around her cracked and broke at the tail flick, hitting her.

As she was slammed into another rock wall from the tail her wand fell out of her hand, rolling down the stone and underneath the dragon. She groaned, hissing at the contact of the wall, and scrunched her nose at the pain evolving around her body. Her eyes fell to her fallen wand before she dug into her pocket, and took out the few Whiz bangs. She took off running, holding out the Whiz bangs. She muttered under her breath a small spell before blowing back her breath and lighting the Whiz bangs on fire without the use of her wand, wandless magic, an incredibly hard thing to know, Rain was always able to use magic without her wand. It was something she knew from a young age. The fireworks lit as she threw them at the angered dragon, they popped in the air and magically began to form animals and move into shapes. The dragon roared, whining and cowering away from the loud sound. The chain holding it to the rocks snapped and it began to flap its wings. The students watched in awe as the dragon cowered away leaving the golden egg wide open.

Rain's lips lifted the tiniest bit, the golden egg in her lap as she sat underneath the oak tree once more. Her legs were crossed and the sun just slowly lowering over the black lake. " That was one hell of a performance you did back there Maxime. " Draco Malfoy strode towards her, pushing his Slytherin robes aside to sit down on the dirt beneath them. She furrowed her eyebrows once the boy sat down comfortably. " Tch, I bet Potter is too terrified in his trousers to continue. " He sat back with his hands on the ground and his lips lifted into an amused smirk. " Harry seemed to handle himself well I think. " Rain shrugged, her lips lifted at the corner and her eyes drifted towards the egg.  " What do you see in Harry Potter of all people? " He sneered, she furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at Draco. " He's my friend, maybe you should ask the same question about yourself. " Rain muttered.

" What the bloody hell does that mean? " Draco's voice was soft but deeply angered. " It's just, you're a bit of a prat, no? You're very rude and nothing but a bully. " The blond scrunched his nose and was ready to stomp away, preparing to stand up. " Harry is just nice, maybe learn a thing or two and people would like you better. It takes too much energy being Daddy's puppet. " Draco turned his body, his lips parting. " H-how, what did you say? "

" People talk Malfoy. Just stop it, and make your own decisions once in a while. "
