After Hermione left Harry was smiling at me as was Fleur whereas Victor had a more "I challenge you" look on his face face not sure why but I can guess.

"Good day, champions. Gather round, please. Now, you've waited, you've wondered, and at last, the moment has arrived. A moment only four of you can fully appreciate, Barty, the bag," Dumbledore said as he came in.

Champions, in a circle around me. Miss Delacour, over here. Mr. Krum. And, Potter, Mr. Potter, over here. That's right," Barty said.

"Here we go," I whispered to Harry who nodded.

Now, Miss Delacour, if you will. The Welsh Green. Mr. Krum. The Chinese Fireball. Mr L/N The Swedish Short-Snout. Which leaves," Barty said as he moved to Harry.

"The Horntail," I heard Harry say.

"What's that, boy?" Barty said.

"Nothing," Harry said.

"These represent four 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?" Barty said as I looked at the small dragon in my hand.

"Are we allowed to use any means necessary," I asked?

"I yes do what you can," Barty said.

"Then I would like to request to go first," I said.

"Very well Mr L/N at the sound of the cannon, you may--" Dumbledore said just as the cannon went off.

I walked out and saw the dragon and it saw me and breathes fire instantly I was able to jump and roll behind a rock. I moved to the side only to be hit by its tail and landed hard before rolling to my feet and hiding in some rocks. I had to do something but I didn't know what I was hit again and I felt my arm break. The fire stopped and I moved from the rock starting down the dragon it was confused at first before breathing fire again. This time I was ready and countered with the Aguamenti charm and the whole area was covered in a smoke screen. I had to move quickly so I moved around the perimeter of the arena as I fired at the dragon with Stunning spell after Stunning spell. I soon saw the smoke was fading and in an act of madness ran at the dragon and cast Incarcerous to hold it in place before I went for the egg.

I decided to make a show of this so as the smoke cleared stood in the centre of the area egg in my good hand proudly. Once the smoke was thin enough that people could see what had happened the whole place erupted into cheers and applause as some began to chant my name. It wasn't long before it was Harry's turn and just like me he too got the egg and there was undoubtedly a celebration back in the common room.

"Yes, Harry! Y/N!" Said the twins as we were lifted onto their shoulders.

"Knew you wouldn't die," Fred said.

"Lose a leg," Geroge said.

"Or an arm," Fred said.

"Pack it in altogether? Never!" They both said.

"Shush! Go on, what's the clue?" Samues said handding Harrys egg back to him.

"Who wants us to open em?" Harry said.

"Yes!" They all yelled.

"Do you want us to open em?" I said.

"Yes!" They all yelled again.

We both opened our eggs a painful ear-piercing screech came out and they all covered their ears as the twins dropped us and we closed the eggs.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron said at the stairs.

"All right, everyone! Go back to your knitting. This is gonna be uncomfortable enough. without all you nosy sods listening in," Fred said as the others dispersed.

"l reckon you have to be barking mad to put your own name in the Goblet of Fire," Ron said.

"Caught on, have you?" Harry said.

"Took you long enough," I said.

"l wasn't the only one who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back, both of you," Ron said

"Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better," Harry said.

"Least l warned you about the dragons," Ron said.

"Hagrid warned us about the dragons," Harry said.

"No, no, no, l did. No, don't you remember? l told Hermione to tell you 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. l thought we'd be all right, you know after you'd figured that out," Ron said.

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

"Yeah. isn't it? l suppose l was a bit distraught," Ron said.

"Boys," Hermione said.

It was a few days later and Harry's arm was in a sling as mine was in a cast not to mention the scratches we both had from fighting the dragons.

"Look at this! l can't believe it! She's done it again," Hermione said as we sat in the great hall for lunch.

"Done what?" I said.

''Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report is none other than the. Bulgarian bonbon, Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Y/N is taking this latest emotional blow,'' Hermione said reading the paper.

"I take it he is not the kind of guy a girl who is far more into books would go for," I said.

"I think you know the kinds of guys I go for," Hermione said as we shared a smile.

"Oh yeah does the one sitting beside you make the cut," I said.

"He has always been at the top," Hermione said as she laid her head on my shoulder as I wrapped my good arm around hers.
