  SCARLET'S POV

The next day I was walking around the castle, there were no classes today and I was dying of boredom. I heard footsteps and turned around; I saw Harry running up and trying to catch up to me. I stopped and waited until he stopped in front of me,
"Dragons" Harry gasped out, I looked at him,
"What? " I asked,
"Dragons, that's the first task " he replied, I gasped.
"What?! are they crazy? why would they make dragons the first task? " I asked, he shrugged his shoulders,
"Who knows, all I know is that I need to figure out a way to get the egg that the dragon is guarding " he replied,
"What do you mean? what egg? " I asked,
"That's what we have to get in order to win and move on to the second task, we have to get passed the dragon in order to get the golden egg "
he replied, I nodded,
"Okay, but how are you going to do that? " I asked,
"I'm not sure, all I know is that I cant use any spells on the dragon for this task" he replied, I nodded my head.
"What about your broom? " I asked, he looked at me,
"What about my broom? " he asked,
"Well, why don't you just use your broom for the first task, I mean you're not using any spells to harm the beast, you're just trying
to get the egg by flying" I replied, he slowly nodded his head,
"It could work " he replied,
"Wait, but we have to tell Cedric " he continued,
"Why? " I asked,
"Because enemy's or not, I think he has the right to know " he replied, I nodded and ran off with him towards the courtyard.
Once we arrived we looked around, and it wasn't long before we spotted him and his friends in the corner, we both ran over
to him,
"Cedric " Harry exclaimed, Cedric and his friends all looked over, his friends then started to laugh,
"You stink Potter! " one of them said,
"Yeah Potter stinks! " another one continued,
"Can we talk to you in private for a moment? please? " I asked, Cedric nodded as we all walked off, his friends whistling at me in the background. I turned around and quickly flipped them off before we were out of sight.
"So what's this about? " Cedric asked,
"Dragons " I replied, he looked at us,
"Come again? " he asked,
"That's the first task " Harry replied,
"Wait, are you serious? " Cedric asked,
"Do you really think we would be joking about this? " I asked,
"Well, no but I didn't think it would be this dangerous " he replied,
"Well it is " I replied, he nodded,
"Well I guess I should head back now, oh and Harry, I told my friends to keep those pins off, but they didn't listen- " Harry cut him off,
"It's fine " Harry replied coldly, Cedric nodded before looking at me; winked and walked away. Weird.
"Well, what are we going to do now Harry? " I asked, shaking what I had just seen from my mind. Harry turned and looked at me,
"Let's go find Hermione, I bet she knows more about dragons than any of us " he replied, I nodded as we walked towards the hall doors,
suddenly Ron and Seamus blocked our path, oh god here we go.
"You're a foul git you know that right? " Harry said,
"You think so? " Ron asked, Harry nodded,
"I know so! " Harry replied, I sighed,
"Guys cant we just let this go? its been what? a week? this fighting has to stop! " I exclaimed, Ron looked at me,
"Oh well I'm sorry things aren't going as well as you hoped, but things aren't always as happy as you want them to be! so back off
Scarlet! honestly you're getting into business that isn't yours! You're so annoying sometimes!" Ron yelled,
I gasped as tears formed in my eyes, Ron then realized what he said as he looked at me,
"S-Scar, I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean- " I looked at him,
"Oh save it Ronald Weasley! you're nothing but a git! " I replied as I ran passed him and down the hall, tears were streaming down my cheeks
as I ran off to the common room.

HARRY'S POV

I watched as Scarlet ran off, tears running down her face, I looked at Ron and glared at him,
"Nice going Ron, you really know a thing or two with the ladies don't you?" I yelled, Ron looked at me,
" Oh shut up. Besides, its her fault for not staying out of our business! " he replied,
"No, its your fault for not keeping your BIG FUCKING MOUTH SHUT! " Seamus said, we all looked at him wide eyed, he never swore,
"What? " Ron said,
"Yeah that's right, its your fault, first you don't believe that Harry didn't put his name in the cup, now because of
your jealously you took all your anger out on one of your best friends and made her cry. I hope you feel good about yourself"
Seamus replied, then he turned around and walked away, Ron then turned and looked at me,
