Tuesday morning the twins and I go down for breakfast, the twins with betting gear in hand, and myself along for the ride.

"How are you feeling Harry?" I ask sitting next to him at breakfast, as the twins go and sit by their brother and mother.

"Not too good Evey.." He says glancing at me before staring back at his untouched food.

"You'll do fine Harry. As long as you stick to what you know, it'll be okay."

"I hope you're right."

"Don't worry. I have faith in you." I say with a smile and he slightly smiles back.

"Morning Mrs. Weasley." I say with a smile sitting next to Fred.

"Good morning Evelyn dear. How are you?"

"I'm doing good. Worried for Harry though." And she nods in agreement and soon we're off to the stands.

Soon enough, the three older champions have all gone and beaten their dragons to the golden egg one way or another. We all become tense knowing Harry is next, and knowing he's got the hardest dragon yet.

The Hungarian Horntail.

"Three of our champions have now faced their dragons, and so each will proceed to the next task. Now our fourth and final contestant." Dumbledore announces and we see Harry walk into the rocky arena.

Harry quickly sets eyes on the golden egg, and with his dragon seemingly missing, he makes a run for it. Suddenly the dragon appears breathing fire at Harry, causing him to take cover behind a rock.

Slightly panicking Harry stumbles around, taking cover from the hot flames, until Hermione shouts at him to remember his wand.

With that, Harry gets a little boost of confidence and uses the summoning charm to bring his Firebolt to him. Once it gets close enough, he jumps on and flys around the dragon.

The dragon getting pissed at Harry just flying around, and somehow manages to break free of the chains placed on it and begins to fly after him.

"Oh no!" I whisper to myself, grabbing tighter onto Fred's hand in worry. He squeezes it back placing a kiss on my head as we keep our eyes to the sky.

Suddenly Harry and the dragon come back into view, the stadium seems to hold their breath as we watch what might happen next. The dragon seems to loose it's gain on Harry, and he goes into a dive towards the egg.

Harry grabs the golden egg and with a deafening cheer, he's won the first task! Quickly after, he's swarmed by the ecstatic Gryffindors, cheering for the once rejected champion.

"Celebratory party in the tower tonight!" The twins shout making everyone cheer and laugh.

"Well done Harry!" I say bringing him into a hug, which he returns tightly.

"Thanks! I still can't believe I did it, without being burnt to a crisp!" He says with a laugh, the grin never leaving his face.

He's suddenly whisked into more conversations and congratulations with his classmates, making me glad they no longer are angry with him.

"Are you coming to the party tonight Love?" I hear Fred ask from behind.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss this!" I say with a grin. "Harry did it!" I exclaim.
