Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 17

It was finally time for the first task and, Adriane was nervous. She knew that she could do this. Adriane knew that she was strong enough to beat a dragon bear handedly. Adriane also knew that she had to hide her strength, so Dumbledore didn't figure out that she was free. Adriane had decided to summon her broom and try to outfly the dragon, grabbing the egg before it had a chance to react.

Adriane knew that it was a stupid plan, but she also knew that it was the exact kind of stupid plan that people were expecting "Harry Potter" to pull. While she could just summon the egg, she decided that she would put on a show for no reason other than she felt like it. Damn, if Clara was here she would do either one of two things. She would cheer her on like the adrenalin junkie She was or, she would yell at Adriane for putting herself at such risk.

Adriane shook her head as she watched Cedric walk out to face his dragon, they had each reached into the bag and drew their dragons already. First was Cedric who had faced the least dangerous dragon, the Swedish Short-Snout. He had transfigured a rock into a dog to distract the dragon. It wasn't a bad idea if Adriane was being honest but, sadly his face got burnt but luckily Madam Pomfrey was able to heal him within a minute.

Next was Fleur, she was facing the Common Welsh Green dragon. she tried using her Veela powers to lure the dragon to sleep. It worked slightly, but when Fleur was grabbing the egg the dragon snorted out a jet of fire and managed to set her skirt alight. Luckily she didn't get too hurt.

Third up was Victor Krum, he was facing the Chinese Fireball. He decided to use the conjunctivitis Curse to blind the dragon and retrieve his egg. Sadly, the dragon accentually crushed some of its real eggs when it was stumbling around in pain.

Now it was her turn, she silently walked out to the stadium and immediately dodged a jet of fire sent at her by a very angry, overprotective mother dragon. Adriane had drawn the most dangerous dragon of all, the Hungarian Horntail.

Adriane ducked behind a rock to hide from the fire while yelling out "Acco Firebolt!" and cast the spell to summon her broom. It took a couple of seconds for the broom to reach her from where the twins had been holding it for her. She didn't waste any time as she jumped on the broom and started flying around the dragon's head trying to make it dizzy.

Adriane's eyes widened when she heard a cracking noise and realized that the chains were cracking, they were breaking! She rolled out of the way of another jet of fire as she took off into the sky not a second too late because right when she flew off the chains finally broke for good, and the dragon shot after her!

Adriane had no clue what to do besides just trying her best to avoid the dragon, she accidentally got hit by its tail on her shoulder causing a pretty bad cut, She had no clue how it managed to hurt her but she decided that she needed to work on dodging more. Adriane led the dragon back to the castle and accidentally fell on the roof while dodging another blast, her eyes widened when she turned on her back and saw the dragon's head right there, just inches away from her body.

Adriane did the first thing that came to mind, she hit that mother fucking dragon right on the nose causing it to fly away with a pained dragon noise, Adriane used the time this bought her to fly down to where she had dropped her broom before using her broom to fly off with the dragon right behind her after it recovered from the pain.

She flew back to the stadium and after dodging a few more fire blasts from the dragon that Adriane was almost positive had a broken nose. Adriane managed to make the dragon hit the ground face-first while smirking, that would explain the broken nose. She used the chance and grabbed the golden egg and flew back to the tent before the dragon could regain its barrings.

Adriane could hear the dragon handlers taking the chance to recapture the dragon again, she could also hear the cheering of the crowd which made her roll her eyes. Those people were the same ones that turned on her time and time again, their thoughts didn't matter to her right now, or ever.
