This was a world of crazy. The 'battle' if She can even call it that was so much easier than the wait to go. At least she could watch watch George's fight against the Ukrainian Iron belly. She headed out and into the stands. Arriving a few seconds after the six whistle. I looked down watching George as he walked into stadium.  The dragon looks scary. 

He has a sarcastic smile on his face but Julia knows better having seen how nervous he was earlier

He has a sarcastic smile on his face but Julia knows better having seen how nervous he was earlier. He pulls his wand out after hiding behind a large boulder and does what looks like a summoning spell. Then a brown backpack and a broom reach him. He looks pleased with himself as he climbs up the broom and rises high into the sky. 

He smiles genuinely and starts throwing down what looks like small pellets and soon the ground is covered in bright cool colours. The dark metallic grey dragon growled loudly and angrily as it stretched out its immense wings and its beady red eyes look up at him. He easily doges its fire attacks and looks pleased with himself. 

He starts throwing spell after spell at the dragon. They don't work and he looks frustrated. He then looks at his bag and then throws a few green potions down and the stench was awful. It fills the whole area. The dragon though looks almost 'pleased' if that is possible. George looked curious and then grabbed several more potions and threw them down, dodging fire blasts. 

A few moments later as the commentary of Bagman silenced as the Ukrainian Iron belly seemed to fall over, narrowly missing the eggs and falling asleep. George swopped down not missing a beat and grabbing the egg as the crowd went wild. Julia rushed back down and met him in the medical tent with the rest of the champions. 

Madame Pomfrey checked him over and seemed very pleased that he wasn't injured. "Stupid officials and their entertainment." She muttered under her breath as George struggled to contain a laugh. The group of champion students congregated together. Talking about their experiences as they waited to be told what was happening next. 

It was at this point a red haired man built similarly to the twins arrived. He had a broad, good-natured face, which was weather-beaten and so freckly that he looked almost tanned; his arms were muscly, and one of them had a large, shiny burn on it. He had a gorgeous small ponytail at the back of his head, obviously showing he is growing his hair out. 

"Charlie!" Fred said happily. "So good to see you." George says. "I'm guessing we," Fred starts. "Have you to thank," George continues. "For this dragon fiasco." Fred finishes. The twins say as they approach him. "So good to you too brothers. You both did awesome. You had great scores." The guy 'Charlie' replies to them. He then looks over at Harry and Julia, "You two both did very well as well. It's nice to meet you. I'm Charlie Weasley, these nuisances older brother." Charlie says with a kind smile before looking back at the twins. 

"We thank you," George starts. "We practiced very hard," Fred continued. "To do well in this." They say together with a smirk. "Listen, I've got to run. I have to go and send Mum an owl. She really wanted to come today but couldn't make it. I swore I'd tell her what happened - but those performances were unbelievable. Oh I almost forgot, Bagman said to meet him in the Champions tent." Charlie says with a smile before heading off quickly. 

The champions all look at each other before shrugging and heading over to the champions tent. They enter, chattering quiet while holding their eggs. No one had opened them yet. The tent felt different now; friendly and welcoming. "Well done, all of you!" said Ludo Bagman, bouncing into the tent and looking as pleased as though he personally had just got past a dragon. "Now just a quick few words. You've got a nice long break before the second task, which will take place at half past nine on the morning of February the twenty-fourth." Ludo Bagman continued. 

"In the mean time we are giving you something to think about. If you look down at those golden eggs you are all holding, you will see that you can actually open them ... see the hinges on the side? You need to solve the clue inside the egg - because it will tell you what the second task actually is, and enable you to prepare for it! Now of course Harry and Julia you will not need your eggs. You are welcome to keep them though but your head of houses will just tell you what the second task is tomorrow. All clear? Sure? Well, off you go then!" He finishes and dismisses them. 

The group left together after that and soon separated to go their own ways, Harry decided to go to the Slytherin common room with Julia after he hears that Gryffindor is having a party. 

(What do you think? should I time skip to just the final task or continue like this?)
