I fluttered my eyes open as the rays of the sun sipped through the curtains of my room. And the moment I finally became of my surroundings, I became extremely nervous for Fleur.
The first task was about dragons. That was what I had been hearing from others here. I wondered to myself on how would Fleur ever tackle a dragon.
I couldn't find Gabrielle nor Pansy. So I headed by myself to the Great Hall. On the way there, I bumped into someone's shoulder, causing her to drop her wand.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled, bent down and picked up her wand. She wore faded blue jeans and a peach bonnet. It was very moldu.
"Uh..what did you just say?" She blinked at me.
"I said I'm sorry. It was my fault that I wasn't looking where I was going." I said as I offered an apologetic smile at her. In which she also smiled back at me.
"It's alright. I'm Hermione. Hermione Granger." She says, extending her hand out to me. I extended my hand and shook hers. I took a mental note to myself that Hermione had big brown curls and she looked really smart to me.
"I'm Clarity. And it's a pleasure to meet you, Hermione. Excuse me." I said as I slipped past her and entered the Great Hall, going over to where Pansy and her other friends are.
"Why were you talking to mudblood?" She sneered at me as soon as I take a seat.
"She dropped her wand and had to pick it up. It was partly my fault anyway." I said. Doing a little pout on my lips, she extended her hand out and patted the top of my head.
"You should stay away from them. From mudblood Granger and her friends. They aren't like you. You're one of us, Clarity. Don't stoop down for them." Pansy had warned me. I picked up the spoon and began to eat the bowl of cereal in front of me. I could only nod my head to assure her.
But I don't know what was wrong being friends with someone who's muggle born.
Sometime later today that lunch ended, I was heading down with Gabriel and the others to watch the first task. I was wearing a knitted sweater, black jeans and a pair of low cut boots. I had wanted to go with Pansy and Blaise but I couldn't find them.
The sound of canons blew off and first champion to face their dragon was Cedric Diggory. His dragon was a Swedish Short-Snout. The scales of his dragon were silvery blue and its flames would erupt blue in color. He eventually tackled his dragon by transfiguring a rock into a dog to be able to distract the dragon and claim his egg.
"Clarity, you are freezing!" Gabriel remarked, removing her scarf and wrapping it around my neck.
"Fleur is coming up right?" The question came into a mumble. My cheeks were already turning pink in color as the cold wind kissed through my skin.
"She'll do good." Gabriel spoke and smiled at me. And out from the tent came Fleur wearing blue. The dragon she would be tackling was a Common Welsh Green. It was earthly brown and a little bit of green in color.
I watched intently as Fleur flicked her wand and tried to cast a sleeping charm on the dragon. She was deemed successful, but the moment she walked over to claim the egg. The dragon erupted flames through its nostril, having caught her skirt on fire. She eventually out the fire out and claimed her egg.
"See! I told you." Gabriel smiled as she held on my hand. Her hands were freezing as well and I held her hand to share the warmth to her.
After Fleur, Viktor was next. His dragon was a Chinese Fireball and he used a conjuctivitis curse to blind his dragon and claim his egg. And last but not the least, Harry came last. And he had the fiercest dragon - the Hungarian Horntail.
After all four champions successfully claimed their eggs, Harry and Viktor tied for first place. Second place was Cedric and Fleur came at third. Their eggs holds a clue to the second task.
On the way out of the stadium, I caught up with Pansy and Blaise.
"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." Pansy cried out as she swung her arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry I was with the other delegates." I mumbled. Soon later it was Draco, Goyle and Crabbe who joined us.
"Oh it reminds me. Do you have a formal dress with you?" Pansy asked as she locked arms with me.
"A formal dress? For what?" I asked.
"I heard there's going to be a Yule ball! And if you didn't have a dress with you, let's go to Hogsmeade! It'll be your first time going there, right?" She smiled at me as she chirped happily.
I smiled back at her and nodded my head. "Alright. Let's go to Hogsmeade together. You should definitely give me a tour around there!" We bought chuckled as we made our way back to the castle.
I wonder who would be asking me out but a small part of me definitely wished for it to be Draco. And I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
