A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

14| The First Task

"Natalie are you ok?" Harry called.

"N-no! I think I just broke my left arm." I called back hiding behind a rock.

I felt the rock heating up and I realized that the dragon was melting it with fire.

"Shit!" I got up holding my arm and hid behind a different rock. Harry snuck up in front of me and used his wand to fix my arm.

"Better?" He asked.

"Yes. Let's get this fucker." I smirked and we both got up.

"Harry! Natalie! Use your wands!" Hermione called.

"She's right! Call our brooms. I'm going to distract this thing." I snuck up behind the dragon and saw the golden egg sitting in a nest.

I tired going for it but the Horntail turned around and growled at me. I stood still and looked it dead in the eye.

It inched towards me and I moved my eyes to look at Harry who was hurriedly running over.

I saw the brooms swooping in so as it was going by me, I jumped on and flew above the dragon. It was attached to a chain but it didn't take much effort for the chain to be removed.

I could feel the fire the dragon was breathing right behind me. I didn't dare look back.

"Harry go!" We sped off on our brooms back towards the castle and the dragon followed in tow.

"We have to get rid of it over here!" Harry yelled over the wind.

"How?" I asked speeding up.

"Don't know yet." He led us under the bridge and up to the top of the castle.

I turned around to see the dragon gaining on us. I was slightly behind Harry and I could feel the dragon's breath.

It landed on the roof also we stopped and turned around to face it. It let out a loud roar and got ready to take off again.

"Harry go around the tower!" I led the way as the Horntail took off. I didn't realize it was going the opposite way as us and it used its tail to knock us off the brooms.

We began sliding down the roof but I caught myself on a window and grabbed Harry's hand as he fell by. He pulled himself up next to me and we hung there scared for a moment.

The dragon landed on the roof again and it scratched the bricks away leaving the roof in array.

One of the brooms was below us so Harry shifted on the roof and was about to come up with a plan when the part he was holding onto gave out and he fell.

My heart stopped for a minute but I calmed down slightly when I saw he caught himself on the next window.

"Harry are you ok?" I asked nervously.

"All good Natalie." He confirmed.

"Do you have a plan?" I asked.

"Working on it." He grunted and tried pulling himself up.

The dragon was nearing closer to us every second so my anxiety picked back up.

Harry grabbed ahold of the broom as the dragon got closer to me.

"Natalie! Let go I'll catch you!" I did what he told me to and released the brick from my grip.

I looked down to see Harry on the broom and I landed perfectly on it behind him.

"Hold on tight." He sped off as I wrapped my arms around him securely. I kept turning around to see how close the dragon really was to us.

We went back through the bridge as the dragon spit more fire.
