CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 7 -

"Do we have to do this?" Red asked as he and the rest of the group currently stood in the forbidden forest at night along with the body of the dragon that Harry killed.

"Yep." Harry nodded. "I get the feeling something bad is about to happen and I'd like to be as prepared for it as possible. The tournament alone is fishy enough."

"Fine...if we must." Red sighed.

"Alright, I'll do the ritual." Harry said. "Red, Violet, you two will work on restraining me long enough for Rose to grab me and calm me down. Ryan, you're on lookout duty, get ready to call us if you see any person coming and be ready to get Rose out of here in case something goes wrong."

"Got it." Ryan said just as the ring on his finger transformed into a bow.

"Great, let's do this then." Harry said.

Several minutes later a large roar was heard, fortunately nobody had heard it apart from the forest animals that ran away in fright.

The next day, Harry noticed that a lot of people were avoiding him or jumping out of his way. Because, believe it or not, killing a dragon and using a killing curse could make people think you're dangerous. Didn't stop Adrian, Daphne or his friends from hanging out with him.

Soon he and Adrian found themselves in Dumbledore's repaired office. Adrian sat down after Harry, who was not really happy about being summoned.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Adrian asked

"The diva is probably planning to make a bit of an entrance" Harry sighed "but as of the moment, he's currently up the stairs, under a charm to make himself invisible, and I would really appreciate it if you would stop wasting our time sir." Adrian looked up and was surprised to find Dumbledore standing on the stairs.

"How did you know I was there?" Dumbledore asked

"I think the fact that you just basically admitted that you were there is enough to give me a headache" Harry replied, ignoring Dumbledore's question "now, why are we here? This had better be important, I'm taking a break from some crucial level snogging for this."

"Well Mr Potter," Dumbledore walked down and sat at his desk "I wanted to talk to you both about the events of yesterday. Firstly, I'd like to start with congratulating you both on your victory. I must admit Adrian, I was very impressed by the simplicity and brilliance of your strategy." Dumbledore said, giving Adrian a kind smile.

"Wasn't mine sir," Adrian admitted "it was Harry's strategy and we had a backup strategy in case it didn't work, which was to summon our brooms and get out of there. Luckily, I never needed the second plan, as for Harry I think he either forgot about it or just decided to not use it." Adrian said as he gave a questioning glance at Harry.

"It tried to attack my friends." Harry shrugged.

"Ah yes," Dumbledore turned to the Slytherin Potter "I must admit Potter, you were simply marvelous yesterday. I understand that you used a flame freezing spell to survive the dragon fire, not many would have the power to use the spell in a way to defend against dragon fire, simply genius if I do say so myself." Harry remained silent, choosing not to tell Dumbledore that he did not use a flame freezing spell. "However, we still need to discuss your actions.

"Must we?" Harry raised an eyebrow. "I can think of much more interesting things to discuss, perhaps how that dragon was able to get out of those chain and why there were not more safety precautions to prevent it from happening."
