Millicent and Tabitha roamed the halls, Millicent not as pale as she had been before, she was betting on her father. He wouldn't give her useless information. The book had to have something helpful in it, she just wasn't sure what that might be.

"You look better" Tabitha said with a weak smile. Millicent frowned deeply "yeah, well, just hope Marcus' ridiculous old house elf pulls through" Millicent mumbled.

Harry, who was passing through the halls in their direction, had on nearly the very same troubled face that Viktor had. "I don't even have the wherewithal to even pluck at his feathers today" Millicent thought as they got closer.

Harry eyed her expectantly and when the two Slytherin girls passed him without so much of a remark, he stopped dead in his tracks.

"I should tell her..." Harry pondered as he recalled the night before and what he saw out in the forbidden forest. Six dragons, and more importantly her dragon. He couldn't see it well, but with what he had saw he didn't need too.

"She's a prick..." Harry reasoned with himself, all the while listening to the sound of her feet getting farther away. He closed his eyes and sighed, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

"But she doesn't deserve to die facing that thing...what was Bill thinking..." Harry thought turning on his heel he ran to catch up with Millicent and Tabitha.

"Millie!" Millicent could hear a familiar voice calling out to her as she and Tabitha crossed the outside courtyard. She ignored him and Tabitha followed suit.

"Millie! Come off it and wait!" Harry called. Millicent stopped with a stomp and turned to face him, hands on her hips. "Honestly, what do you want Potter! I've more important things to worry about right now!" She barked.

Harry stopped his jog and caught his breath. All the while trying to remind himself that she still deserved to know. "Not here" he said before ushering the two girls to a corner behind some foliage. "What is it? Say it quickly before a spider lands on me" Millicent said looking around and brushing off her clothes. Meanwhile Tabitha used her arms to flatten out her brushy nest like hair.

"Its about the first task, have you figured it out yet that its" Harry gulped before the word came out of his mouth "Dragons" he said. Millicent looked at him flatly "yes, Daddy told me, so your information is just wasting my time" she muttered going to turn away. "No, its not, I know about your dragon, I saw it...last night" Harry spoke hurriedly and Tabitha grabbed Millicent's wrist, pulling her back.

"R-really? What sort was it?" Tabitha asked quickly as she and Millicent shared a worried glance.

Harry shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't see much of it, but I didn't have too. Its got...several....heads...four, actually and I don't think I saw wings" Harry said.

Millicent held her breath "f-four?" She asked. Harry nodded "how do you know it was her dragon? Isn't something like that more suited towards the famous mr.Potter?" Tabitha asked coldly. Millicent sneered.

"You're right Tabitha...is this some trick Potter? To have me completely out of sorts?" Millicent ask. Harry shook his head. "I wouldn't wish death by dragon on anyone but Voldimort...so no. You can believe me or not. But that's what I saw and what I heard." Harry said. With those last words he turned to step out of the corner and pushed apart the bushed. "Good luck Millicent" he muttered before vanishing.
