No strings attached. A Ron Weasley love story.

The First task.

A few months later.

Harry's POV.

Dragons. That was the first task. I sat down and reviewed my plan again. Get on the field. Accio my broom. Get the egg. Bingo. I stood up and started pacing around the tent,my arms shaking with panic. Cedric,Viktor,and Fluer were nervous too,by the looks of it. Cedric looked stoney and pale,Krum looked extremly menecing,and Fleur looked just plain terrified. I heard a noise,and turned around. Bean's head was poking inside the tent flap. "Bean! What are you doing here?" I hissed. "I just..are you okay,Harry?" She asked,coming in. Her eyes were full of concern and panic. "Um,sure." I said,suprised. She suddenly threw her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek. I then heard a loud noise,followed by a flash. We looked up. Rita Skeeter. That nasty newspaper reporter who prided herself on other people's personal buisness. "Oh! Young love!" She squealed,her ridiclously curly hair bobbing up and down. I felt myself turning pink and Bean let go of me,blushing. "What are you doing here,woman?" Krum growled,towering over the reporter. Skeeter shrank down a bit. But just a bit. "Leave them alone." Cedric said angrily. Skeeter looked very offended. She turned stiffly on her lime green heel,and,closely followed by a camera man,stalked off. Bean looked at me. "I should go,Harry. Good luck." She said. She looked at Cedric. "Uh,goodbye,Cedric." She said,waving a little bit. She then quickly turned and left. I met Cedric's eyes. He was also flushing pink. "She's real cute,isn't she?" He muttered. I smiled. So did he.

Bean's POV.

Harry walked onto the field. I was sitting up in the stands with Ron and Hermione,bouncing up and down with excitement and anxiety. "And finally,our last,and youngest contestant,Mr. Harry Potter!" Mr. Bagman rang out. We all cheered. "Go Harry!" I screamed. Ron was very shallow looking,and he was scowling. "What's wrong,mate?" I asked,putting my arm around his shoulder. He shrugged. "Suit yourself." I replied simply. Harry had just walked onto the field,his face pale. A dragon was tied to a pole,and a wizard cut it loose. The dragon crept up the rocks to it's eggs,and guarded them,looking around dangerously. Harry jumped behind a rock and pulled out his wand. "Accio Firebolt!" He shouted. We all waited anxiously. Harry doged more flames,despreatly waiting for his broom,when suddenly, it came soaring through the air at lightning speed. We all cheered and screamed excitedly. "Go Harry!" I cried. He lept onto his firebolt and flew high above the dragon. He did an amazing dive towards her,but swerved out of the way when she lashed her vicious claws. "Look at him fly!" Bagman shouted. "Are you watching this,Krum?" Harry dived down under the dragon,and was almost scorched by her flames. He scooped up the egg,flew up higher,and held the egg up for all to see. We all started yelling and shrieking. "Harry Potter is the fastest to retrive his egg!" Bagman cried over all the noise. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I screamed. "He did it!" Hermione exclaimed,her eyes watery. We both looked at Ron,who didn't look so stiff. "Come on,Ronald. Let's go find Harry." Hermione said. He nodded,and the three of us left the stands.

Ron's POV.

All the Gryffindors met in the common room. The twins had stolen a bunch of food from the kitchens,and we were all celebrating. "Congratulations,Potter." Seamus said,shaking Harry's hand. "Good job,Harry." Parvati Patil said flirtily. I rolled my eyes. Girls. "Anyone want a cookie?" Fred asked,holding out a tray of creame filled cookies. "Sure!" Bean exclaimed,grabbing one. "Uh,Bean,I wouldn't-" Hermione started. But it was to late. Bean had popped the entire cookie into her mouth,chewed,and swallowed. Her face screwed up and she turned into a bird! A little yellow canary. The twins were cracking up. She flew at them madly,flapping her yellow wings up and down,pecking at their heads. When she turned into a girl again,her face was slightly yellow. She looked mad,though you could tell she was trying not to laugh. Suddenly the Fat Lady's picture swung open,and Professer McGonagall came in. "I am very sorry to interupt your party," she said, "but I need to talk to miss Snape and Mr Potter,please." She told us. Bean and Harry looked at eachother. "Okay." Bean said uncertainly. "We'll see you later,everyone." Harry said. And with that,they left with Professer McGonagall.
