"Didn't know you was into gingers, Malfoy?"
"Shut up Weasley"

Gemma Weasley shared many similarities with her siblings, the ginger hair, pale skin, freckles and a super sense of humour, yet she was the one that stood out from them all. Even her tw...

"Do I get a betting discount?" I ask Fred and George as we make our way down past the quidditch pitch towards the new arena for the first task for the Tri-Wizard tournament. They both turned back to me smiling.
"We may love you" George chimes
"-but not that much" Fred says finishing off the conversation as they make their way into the crowd with their briefcase of bettings shouting to attract customers.
"They didn't give you it either" Ginny asks as she comes beside me looping her arm in mine.
"No they damn well didn't." I reply, amused.
The arena was huge to say the least, rocks taking much of the space and the stands going high past the normal quidditch pitch. I made my way with Ginny to Seamus and Dean, who in spirit, were in their Gryffindor scarfs.
"Who's going first?" I shout to Dean, the crowd cheering not making it easy to hear one another.
"Cedric" He shouts back right as he enters the arena. Diggory was against a Swedish Short-Snout. He used a Transfiguration spell to change a rock into a dog to distract the dragon and in doing so was partially successful; the dragon took the bait, and Cedric went for the Golden egg. Yet halfway through, the dragon turned its attention back to Cedric, and burned his face. The crowd grimaced, It looked nasty, but he had gotten the egg and made it into the next task.
Second was Fleur Delacour, who my brother still fancied, he couldn't keep his eyes off her, she faced a Common Welsh Green. She enchanted the dragon to sleep, but while retrieving the golden egg, the dragon snored and let out a jet of flame that set her skirt alight, sending Ronald into overdrive. Unfortunately for him she extinguished the flames, and retrieved her egg.
Viktor Krum was third, facing a Chinese Fireball. He used the Conjunctivitis Curse to blind the dragon and retrieve his egg. However, he was docked points when the dragon stumbled around and smashed half of the real eggs.
Harry drew the fiercest of them all, the Hungarian Horntail. Entering the arena I could sense how nervous he was, the crowd quiet in anticipation for what he had to face.
"Why is he just walking in like it's nothing, the dragon is going to -" Before I could even finish my sentence the Horntail smashed its tail near Harry sending the rest of us to duck from the rock residue. I put my arm around Ginny to protect her whilst Fred and George grabbed a pair of binoculars from my pocket, wanting to see the action closer.
"He's just getting chucked around ain't he going to do something." Seamus asks, confused on why Harry hasn't thought of an idea to beat the dragon.
"Your wand Harry, use your wand." Hermione shouts, obviously fearing the same thing as me and Seamus.
Taking Hermione's advice Harry summons his broom, possibly the best idea she's ever given him. Yet before we could cheer for long, the Horntail snaps his chain, causing it to fly after Harry towards the direction of the castle.
