Shadows (a BTS fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Two

Today was the day of the first task.

I was sitting next to Jee who just downed her first Americano. Sadly she had another; hopefully she won't drink it.

Namjoon's also next to me and was scribbling theories down furiously in his small notebook.

I finally give up trying to stay put and follow Hermione into the champions tent. I see her hug Harry. Immediately a flash goes off.

The annoying lady in charge of the Daily Prophet gushed not so quietly, "Young love!"

Are you kidding me, Hermione already has a crush on someone else!

I turn to Yoongi. "Stay safe and focus on your wand. Also, don't forget any of the spells I taught you last night."

He nods but I see he's sweating profusely. 

"It's going to be okay," I take a deep breath and give him a quick hug before dragging Hermione out of there.

Hermione takes Namjoon's spot next to me and we cross our fingers. At this rate I felt like jinxing  who ever put their names into the goblet.

After Frilla, Cedric, and Viktor's turn, it was finally Yoongi's and Harry. Professor Dumbledore decided to place them together so it was a less chance of them dying.

It was pretty smart since the others were way older and experienced than them.

I see Yoongi and Harry walk out slowly, and the dragon starts to wake up.

All of a sudden Jee stands up and cups her hands to her cup and shouts very loudly, "YOONGERZ GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE BEFORE I DRINK ANOTHER AMERICANO. I ALREADY DRANK ONE!"

I cover my mouth and try not to laugh loudly while the other people near us stare at her with a dumbfounded look.

But that also did it; the dragon woke up and started blowing fire already.

I felt most of me sink back down to the chair when I saw Yoongi got his broom. Harry did too.

But instead of trying to grab the egg they were supposed to, Yoongi started flying towards my direction.

He goes low and then grabs Jee's Americano right out of her hands, spilling some on a girl behind me.

I immediately take off my scarf and give it to her.

"Thanks," she tries to say calmly; I know she's pissed.

"Wait, aren't you that girl from the world cup?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah..." she squints her eyes at me. "You were the incompetent nerd who kept staring instead of running.

"Excuse me?! How can a nerd be incompetent?" I reply, a little offended.

"I call everyone nerds," she shrugs. "I'm Courtney."

"Harper," I say shortly and then take my attention back to the arena, forgetting all about my scarf.

The dragon had chased Harry off and Yoongi got the egg.

Now the only way for them to move on is if Harry gets back. We all wait while Yoongi is allowed back into the champions tent.

Luckily a minute later Harry comes back without the dragon.

We all cheer and then exit the stands.

"What house are you in?"

I turn around to see Courtney handing me back my scarf.

I take it with a limp hand and answers "Ravenclaw."
