Harry Potter and the Force within.

Chapter 4 Part 3

Harry got up on Sunday morning and dressed so inattentively that it was a while before he realized he was trying to pull his hat onto his foot instead of his sock. When he'd finally got all his clothes on the right parts of his body, he hurried off to find Hermione, locating her at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, where she was eating breakfast with Ginny. 

"Hey Ginny Hey Hermione where are the others" asked Harry and sat down to eat some Sausages, Bacon, Egg, and toast 

"they should be down here any moment" answered Ginny and soon after Neville and Ron came to sit with them Neville sitting next to Hermione and Ron next to Ginny and also to his left was Adrienne and Harry quickly leaned over to her and whispered "Dragons for the first task" Adrienne nodded and went back to her Granola and yoghurt 

"So" Ron said "How has your training gone with Ginny you better not be doing other activities with her" Harry just blushed at the thought of Ron thinking he and Ginny were kissing 

"I doubt Harry likes me that way" Ginny said with a hint of sadness " I do like you as a best friend" Harry replied which Ginny gave a smile at those words "Hey Hermione could you help me with my potions essay I have to do a 20 inch essay on the shrinking and strength potion and their differences and the ingredients including the method and I have Herbology club at 8:00pm I know your really good at all subjects" Hermione Blushed at the compliment most people thought she was an insufferable know-it-all but not Neville he was cute and he was really nice and polite and was only a bit shy but not scared " Sure Neville why not and I need help on my Herbology essay I know your the best at it" Hermione replied and Neville blushed he had started having a crush on Hermione she was pretty her teeth had been put straight after the incident with Malfoy and the non accurate spells that were sent from each others wands and she was quite fit but kind and smart "Ok thanks Hermione" he said  

The atmosphere in the school was one of great tension and excitement. Lessons were to stop at midday, giving all the students time to get down to the dragons' enclosure - though of course, they didn't yet know what they would find there.

Harry felt oddly separate from everyone around him, whether they were wishing him good luck or hissing "We'll have a box of tissues ready, Potter" as he passed. It was a state of nervousness so advanced that he wondered whether he mightn't just lose his head when they tried to lead him out to his dragon, and start trying to curse everyone in sight. Time was behaving in a more peculiar fashion than ever, rushing past in great dollops, so that one moment he seemed to be sitting down in his first lesson, History of Magic, and the next, walking into lunch. . . and then (where had the morning gone? the last of the dragon-free hours?), Professor McGonagall was hurrying over to him in the Great Hall. Lots of people were watching.

"Potter, the champions have to come down onto the grounds now. . . . You have to get ready for your first task. "

"Okay," said Harry, standing up, his fork falling onto his plate with a clatter. 

"Good luck Harry"said before giving him a kiss on the cheek and Hermione did the same and Ron and Neville Hugged Harry before Harry walked out of the Great Hall with Adrienne.

"So Harry gotta plan" asked Adrienne

"Yeah you"

"Oui" this was the first time Harry had ever heard her speak French it seemed though that she didn't like speaking French. 

Professor McGonagall asked to speak with Harry privately

"Now, don't panic," she said, "just keep a cool head. . . . We've got wizards standing by to control the situation if it gets out of hand. . . . The main thing is just to do your best, and nobody will think any the worse of you. . . . Are you all right?"

"Yes," Harry heard himself say. "Yes, I'm fine. "

She was leading him toward the place where the dragons were, around the edge of the forest, but when they approached the clump of trees behind which the enclosure would be clearly visible, Harry saw that a tent had been erected, its entrance facing them, screening the dragons from view.

"You're to go in here with the other champions," said Professor McGonagall, in a rather shaky sort of voice, "and wait for your turn, Potter. Mr. Bagman is in there. . . he'll be telling you the - the procedure. . . . Good luck. "

"Thanks," said Harry, in a flat, distant voice. She left him at the entrance of the tent. Harry went inside. 

"Harry! Good-o!" said Bagman happily, looking around at him. "Come in, come in, make yourself at home!"

Bagman looked somehow like a slightly overblown cartoon figure, standing amid all the pale-faced champions. He was wearing his old Wasp robes again.

"Well, now we're all here - time to fill you in!" said Bagman brightly. "When the audience has assembled, I'm going to be offering each of you this bag" - he held up a small sack of purple silk and shook it at them - "from which you will each select a small model of the thing you are about to face! There are different - err - varieties, you see. And I have to tell you something else too. . . ah, yes. . . your task is to collect the golden egg!" 

"Now in this bag are 4 dragons each different they will have number around their necks that will symbolise which person will go first Madame Convain if you please" Crouch handed her the sack and she took a Swedish Short snout, Cedric a common welsh green, Krum a Chinese Fireball and himself a Hungarian Horntail " ah the Horntail the most vicious of them all on the sound of the cannon Mr. Diggory you will walk out of this tent and face the dragon" 

one by one the Champions left until it was just Harry he walked out of the tent and came face with the dragon itself 

Harry hesitated before shouting "STUPEFIOUS" and suddenly he was shooting tons of stunning spells at the dragon and the Horntail fell and without a doubt Harry raced to the egg and grabbed it

"MY OH MY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MR. POTTER IS THE QUICKEST TO GET THE EGG IN * SECONDS THATS A WORLD RECORD AND HE USED A VERY ADVANCED SPELL" Shouted Bagman

"The scores I myself give a ten Albus 10 Madame Maxime 10 Crouch 10 and Karkaroff That's biased a 0 well as Karkaroff has now lost his position as a judge Cornelius Fudge who just so happens to have joined us gives a 10 as well so in 4th place with 38 points Mr. Krum 3rd with 46 points Mr. Diggory and 2nd place with a total of 48 points Madame Convain.

"YOU DID IT HARRY" Said Ginny before she full on crushed him in a hug that would rival her mothers.

"You were the best, you know, no competition. Cedric did this weird thing where he Transfigured a rock on the ground. . . turned it into a dog. . . he was trying to make the dragon go for the dog instead of him. Well, it was a pretty cool bit of Transfiguration, and it sort of worked, because he did get the egg, but he got burned as well - the dragon changed its mind halfway through and decided it would rather have him than the Labrador; he only just got away. And Adrienne tried this sort of charm, I think she was trying to put it into a trance - well, that kind of worked too, it went all sleepy, but then it snored, and this great jet of flame shot out, and her skirt caught fire - she put it out with a bit of water out of her wand. And Krum - you won't believe this, but he didn't even think of flying! I mean he is a seeker the best sorry Harry He was probably the best after you, though. Hit it with some sort of spell right in the eye. Only thing is, it went trampling around in agony and squashed half the real eggs - they took marks off for that, he wasn't supposed to do any damage to them. "

Harry walked off with his friends knowing there would be a massive party in the common room awaiting him.

Meanwhile in a dark room a cyborg known as Grievous was developing a plan for Voldemort.
