The next morning, after Y/N had been involved in a heavy argument for the whole night with Dumbledore relating to his means of gaining information, an argument Y/N eventually won.



Daphne arrived at the champions tent, she was surrounded by the other contestants all preparing as she walked over to Harry to check he had a plan.

"Do you know your plan?" Daphne asked as Harry nodded.

"Yes, don't worry. What about you?"

"I'm making this up as I go." Daphne said sarcastically with a smirk making Harry chuckle.

"Daphne, I'm sorry, about me and Ron, and how Ron's been treating you, when we finish this challenge, I'll try and make up with him. I promise." Harry said as Daphne nodded, they were interrupted by Cedric who tapped Daphne and Harry on the shoulder, they both turned around and Cedric pointed to Y/N and Hermione poking their heads through the wall of the tent.

Harry walked over to Hermione who burst through the wall and hugged Potter kissing him on the cheek, claiming the kiss was 'for luck'. They were smiling for a moment but stopped when a camera flash went off almost blinding them, Y/N, who was talking to Daphne and going over a plan with her, turned his head to the Camera man and the ever irritating Skeeter, she was scowling at him.

"Young love. Oh, how...mmm...stirring. If everything goes...unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page." Skeeter said as Y/N was about to stand up for Potter and Granger with a remark but Cedric stepped in.

"You have no business here. This tent is for champions...and friends." Cedric said, glancing to Harry and Hermione who gave grateful nods.

"No matter, we've um, got what we wanted." Skeeter said as the Camera man went to take another photo but Y/N stopped him with a simple threat.

"You want to get out of her with no broken bones then don't take another photo, or else I'll start by shoving that camera up your arse so far that you'll have a photo of your tonsels." Y/N growled, causing the camera man to flee with skeeter.

Dumbledore and the other judges entered the tent.

"Good day, champions. Gather round please. Now you've waited, you've wondered, and at last, the moment has arrived. A moment only five of you can fully appreciate. What are you doing here Miss Granger, Mr Wolf?"

"I was wishing Harry luck." Hermione said awkwardly. "I'll just go."

"Just checking everything is in order in here." Y/N said as he glanced at Daphne, Harry and Cedric. Y/N lit a cigarette and nodded before leaving without a word.


"Barty, the bag." Dumbledore said calmly as Crouch stepped forward with a bag.

Barty arranged the champions into an order he liked and then offered the bag to Fleur.

"Miss Delacour, if you will."

Fleur dipped her hand into the bag and pulled out a tiny green dragon.

"The Welsh Green." Crouch said as he moved onto Krum. "Mr Krum."

Krum dipped his hand in and pulled out a tiny red dragon.

"The Chinese fireball, oooh." Crouch said before turning to Cedric and shaking the bag. Cedric dipped his hand in and pulled out a autumn yellowish coloured dragon. "The Swedish Short-Snout."

Barty turned to Harry and handed the bag to him, Harry dipped his hand in and pulled out a tiny Hungarian Horntail.

"Which leaves." Crouch said as Daphne dipped her hand in and mentally cursed her own luck. She pulled out a tiny dragon. "Peruvian Vipertooth."

"Bollocks." Daphne muttered under her breath.

"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?" Crouch explained.

Daphne stuck his hand up.

"Yes Miss Greengrass."

"Yeah, do you want me to dig my grave now and save some gardener the trouble or is it already paid for?" Daphne asked sarcastically causing Harry chuckle along with Fleur and Cedric, while Dumbledore smirked and nudged her.

"Very well." Crouch said before leaving.

"Good luck champions, Mr Diggory, at the sound of the cannon you may--" Dumbledore was cut off by the cannon shot firing and rocking the tent, everyone but Daphne flinched slightly.

With that Diggory headed out into the arena to the sound of people chanting his name.


As Cedric went out into the arena Y/N sat down in the crowd between Draco and Hermione, with Hermione making certain she was between Y/N and Ron, making sure that Y/N didn't murder Weasley.


Harry was called out. Daphne listened to the carnage outside, the noise allowing her to get a good idea of what was happening. When the crowd went silent, she poked her head out of the tent and saw Harry emerging from the clouds on a slightly damaged broom as the crowd went wild. After a minute of celebrations the crowd went quiet, as Dumbledore stood up.

"And now everyone, please welcome our fifth and final contestant, Daphne Greengrass!" Dumbledore called out. The crowd was silent with shock as Daphne stepped out of the tent and into the arena with her wand in her hand, she looked up at the crowds, she looked into Y/N's eyes as she heard most of the crowd begin booing and calling her a snake. Daphne and Y/N's friends looked disgusted by how people were treating her. She stepped out and approached the egg, as he approached the egg, the Dragon landed in front of him.

The dragon roared at her and they both began circling one another. Daphne looked at the Dragon and knew she was in for a fight, she could feel the ground quake with the beasts every step. The Dragon lunged forward and tried to bite Daphne who rolled out of the way of it's poisonous bite and tried to make a dash for the egg but was sent flying into a rock by the Dragon's tail. As she looked up after hitting the rock, she was seeing double, two dragons charging her, she didn't know which was real, but she knew that she needed to move, she used her instincts and all the energy in her legs to push herself into a roll out of the dragons path. As she stood up, the dragon breathed fire right at her, she used Protego to save herself, keeping it up as long as she could, the bubble she used was surrounded by fire, obscuring it from the crowds who all went silent assuming that Daphne was burned to death, Y/N was about to stand up when the Dragon stopped breathing fire it looked confused as it looked down at Daphne rising from her knees, the smoke surrounding her, the crowd all looked amazed at the display.

Y/N smiled with relief before speaking.

"Atta girl." Y/N muttered to himself with a proud smile.

The Dragon pulled at it's chains and broke free, it went to attack the crowd Daphne cast Protego in front of everyone, saving everyone who was about to be burned to a crisp. She ran at the dragon, it turned to see her springboard off of a rock and into the air, as the creature began to breath fire, Daphne used her wand to send herself to the ground while keeping her forward momentum, sending her sliding under the dragon, avoiding its venomous fangs, and straight to the egg, Daphne picked up the egg, Daphne stood up and made a quick exit, managing to avoid the dragon rapidly chasing her while the dragon handlers got it under control, she couldn't wait to be back with Y/N and not nearly being burned to a crisp, or poisoned, or just eaten, or dying in anyway...
