Ariana's POV

Inside the tent, it was a pre-dragon showdown reunion. Hermione gave me and Harry a tight hug, and then the teachers sauntered in, dropping the bomb: 

"Remove a dragon from the pouch." Poor Harry lucked out with the Horntail, and I pulled out Malinda, a flashy green dragon which was the smallest.

"What the hell is she doing? Not only did she trap herself, but she also threw her wand away. Is she suicidal?" Ron blurted out. 

Hermione, ever the voice of reason, retorted, "Why are you worried about her now after ignoring her for weeks?" Ron wisely chose to zip it.
