Harry and Y/N Potter and the Goblet of Fire

CHAPTER 9: A NEW EYE

Y/N came out of the tent and looked around for a dragon, but what he saw was a monster that had the head of a bull and the body of a man. In it's hand was a large two-handed sword with the skull of a man in the middle of the handguard

Y/N had never seen anything like it before, but he did welcome the challenge. He drew his wand and, to everyone's surprise, said, "protego diabolica."

Black fire surrounded the two of them and kept everyone else at bay. "There, now you can't hurt anyone else. It's just you and me, freak show." Y/N said. He then drew the sword Charlie gave him.

The creature jumped at him, only for Y/N to side step the strike and land one on the creature's arm. This irritated it and it made a swing at his midsection. Y/N jumped back and swung the sword from above his head to the creature's face.

The creature blocked the sword and kicked him with it's hoof, knocking him onto the ground. It then tried to stab him, but he rolled backwards and cut it's snout.

Many of the audience was frightened by what they saw, it was nothing they ever seen before.

Hagrid didn't know anything about that thing, it was nothing he seen. He was starting to wonder what the ministry had brought.

Professor Dumbledore had seen the spell Y/N used, but he didn't suspect he would see it again. The creature, he knew, but he didn't expect to see one.
The creature was called a Minotaur.

They are concerned to be dangerous. Some have been killed after encounters with them. The sword he didn't know about either.

Y/N's prosthetic eye then began to ache. It felt as though the magic core in it was burning it from the inside out. Eventually the aching stopped and a new eye was formed.

This one was grey in color and it felt real, but it also had the same abilities as the artifact one.

Y/N's sword clashed with the Minotaur's sword a final time, only for him to disarm it of the weapon, and behead it in one swing.

He then went to the body and pulled out the egg. After this he put out the protective fire ring he created and held up the egg.

Harry and Y/N were in the Gryffindor common room with the rest of the Gryffindors. Fred and George hoisted the two of them on their shoulders.

"We knew you two wouldn't die, guys." Fred said. "Lose a leg." George said. "Or an arm." "Pack it all together." "NEVER!" The twins said the last part together.

Dean and Seamus returned the eggs to the twins. "Go on fellas, what the clue?"

The brothers looked at each other. "Who wants us to open them?" Harry asked. A cheer erupted from the crowd. "You want us to open them?" Y/N said. A louder cheer was made.

The two opened the eggs at the same time, only for a god awful screeching noise to fill the room. Y/N closed his egg before the two were dropped and Harry followed suit afterwards.

"What the bloody hell was that?" A voice said. Everyone turned their attention to Ron.

"Alright everyone, go back to your knitting. This is going to be uncomfortable enough without you nosey sods listening in." Ron approached Harry and Y/N decided to go to the training room.

"I reckon you would have to be barking mad to put your name in the goblet of fire." Ron said. "Caught on have you, took you long enough." Harry said. "Wasn't just me who thought you done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back except for Y/N, Hermione, and Ginny." "Thanks, that makes me feel loads better."

"At least I warned you about the dragons." "Hagrid warned me about the dragons." "No, I did, don't you remember. I told Ginny that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along, I thought you would be alright once you found out." Ron said

"Who could possibly figure that out? That's completely mental." Harry said.

"Yeah, I guess I was pretty distraught." Ron said. Ginny went over to the two of them and smacked them both in the back of the head. Then hugged them both at the same time. "It's about time you two started acting like friends again." She said.

The next morning, the daily prophet arrived:

Y/N POTTER HAS REVEALED HE IS CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF DARK MAGIC DURING THE FIRST TASK. HIS USE OF GRINDELWARD'S FAVORITE SPELL HAS LEFT MANY TO QUESTION THE POTENTIAL OF A NEW DARK LORD IN THE MAKING. SHOULD THE STUDENTS FEAR THE SWORDSMAN OF HOGWARTS? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

Y/N took the prophet and crumbled it up. He then proceeded to throw it in the fire. "I can't believe it, I refuse an interview with Rita Skeeter because my parents were insulted and now this."

"You got to admit you didn't exactly deny knowing it." Ron said. "Why did you learn that spell Y/N?" Hermione asked, infuriated with him.

"It was supposed to be a last resort to keep me and an enemy in and everyone else out. The first task was in fact the first time I ever used it, I certainly didn't expect it to change my eye." Y/N said.

"But why use it during the first task?" Harry asked. "Had they sent a dragon on me, I would have used my dragon's breath, but they actually sent a Minotaur on me, and I didn't want it to attack anyone else."

"But why protego diabolica of all spells?" "Because if he did find a way out, I could finish it off before it could hurt anyone. Guys magic is a tool, and a tool can be good or evil depending on how you use it. I know I learned a spell that is considered dark magic, but that doesn't make me a dark lord in the making. One day, you will be thankful I learned it." Y/N said.

He then finished his food and left, giving his friends something to think about.
