As Cold Hearted As He Is~ D.M

Chapter 9. Task One

Oakley Potter

Were all in the champions tent. All gathered round waiting for some kind of sign or someone to tell us to start the first task. Along with Viktor and Fleur, and Cedric and Harry who followed along so I can have courage, thats all thats here right now. Im standing by the entrance of the tent, waiting just waiting.

"Psst Potter" I heard from behind me, I looked over my shoulder to seen Malfoy peeking his head through the tent.

He leaned his head towards my ear to whisper too me. "Don't be nervous, I'll be watching from somewhere in the third row. You got this. Jus gotta stay focused Potter"  and with that he disappeared probably heading to the crowd stands.

In came Dumbledore and other adults.

"Champions, in a circle around me." He said with a bag in his hand.

"Miss Delacour over here, Mr Krum," He moved them over.
"And Potter, Miss Potter over here." He stated as he moved me next to the other contestants.

"Now Miss Delacour if you will" As he lifted the bag she reached in and pulled out a small green dragon, a welsh green.

And then Mr Krum pulled one out, something called the Chinese Fireball. I better get the least dangerous of them all. I could feel my nerves racking up on the inside. Then went Cedirc, who pulled out a yellow one.

"Which leaves... The Horntail."
"The Hungarian Horntail." He said as I slip the dragon out onto my hand.

He starts to explain the dragons and all I heard was that they were protecting the golden egg and that we needed to collect it.

I listen and silently waited. Im nervous. To all Merlins name I'm nervous. My skin is crawling and the sweat is pouring down my back.

I hear my name being called. Which means its my turn now. My heart beat intensified.

I start walking. Towards the arena. The rocks around are cold and grey. I see the egg at this moment. I started slowly pacing my way towards it.

The dragon growled from above me. And down whipped it's enormous tail. It slung me off my feet. I can hear the crowd gasp slightly. It didn't hurt much, jus a huge startle.

I run up and away from what was the tail. Watching step after step. I could hear the fire roar from behind me. I assume that means its breathing towards me. Isn't that jus fantastic.

As it shot another wave of fire towards me. I point my wand towards the fire that was now spreading towards me. "Augamenti" I screamed. Jus enough water to put out all the flames surrounding me.

It chases me through many crevices of rocks. Roar after roar it screams. My head is thudding at this point. Attempting to think of any way possible to get the egg and get this over with.

"Accio Firebolt!" I screeched as I watched the broom I called for fly through the air towards me. I didn't look at the dragon for one second, as it stomped closer and closer towards me.

I leaped towards the broom as it shot the winds of fire towards me. I was attempting to trick it and make it confused.

I made circles around and around the arena. Attempting to shoot any spell I could think of in the process. It spun round with me. Watching every move I made.

As I flew around tower to tower, it kept up with me. Following with me every turn and switch in ways I went.

After five minutes of continuous flying I swept towards the arena. As soon as I made sight with it i flew in a diagonal up and down pattern which made the dragon a tad confused. Just enough milliseconds for me to grab the Golden Egg.

As I lifted up the egg the whole crowd roared. I didn't know what I was too do. So I ran back to the champions tent just to get away from the dragon that I lost along the way.

I can hear the crowd cheering and I was met with Fred, George and Harry and a few other people in the tent. They were all congratulating all of the contestants, including me.

My nerves have finally calm down and I can take as many breaths of relief that I need. The whole world is calm for me right now. Im actually relaxed and the cheers of the people around me brings a ton of serotonin almost like a nice cold beer.
