Aurora Lupin-Black

Chapter 4: Dragons ✔✔

It was getting closer to the first task and Harry still hadn't a clue what it was. Ron still wasn't talking to us, well, more Harry but, I was with Harry so apparently that made me guilty by association.

So Harry and I was hanging with Neville by the lake.

He was in the lake, collecting samples of different plants, occasionally calling out "amazing".

Harry and I were sat under a tree, looking down at the book Neville had been working from.

"Amazing!" Neville gushed, looking at something in his hand.

"Neville, honey, you're going it again." I called over, looking up at him, with a kind smile.

"Oh, right, Sorry Rory." He blushed.

"Magical Water plants of the Highland lochs?" Harry read the title of the book out loud.

"Yeah, Moody gave it to me, that day we had tea." Neville explained but his attention quickly turned to something behind us and waved.

We turned around to see Hermione, Ginny and Ron walking our way.

"Little Weasley!" I squealed as I stood up and rushed over, wanting nothing more than to avoid Ron and Harry's fight.

"Ron, this is your problem, not mine." I heard Hermione huff as I walked past her.

"Hey Aura." Ginny smiled as I met her.

I nudged her to walk a little further away.

"What's up this time?" I asked Ginny, as we glanced back at my three best friends, Hermione running between the boys.

"Hagrid wants to see Harry and Ron has to pass along the message."

"Ahh, yes, the task we all dread. Passing along a message." I joked, looking back only to turn back as Hermione yelled at the two

"I'M NOT A BLOODY OWL!" She snapped as she walked over to Ginny and I.

"You want some girl time 'Mionie?" I asked, looking at her apologetically.

"Yes please." She nodded.

"Hold on then." I smiled.

I ran over to harry and told him I was heading of with the girl so he could go find Hagrid.

"I'll be with the girls most of the night, so if I don't see you, I'll meet you for breakfast tomorrow." I smiled as I lent up and kissed is cheek.

"I love you." He muttered.

"Love you too, idiot."

With that I left, shoot a quick goodbye to Neville who had already gone back to his plants.

*The Next Day.*

"It's bloody dragons." Harry huffed, looking down at me, grasping my hand in his.

"Wow, that's... scary... but kind of awesome actually." I spoke, as we walked through the halls of the school, passing students who kept waving badges in his face.

Ridiculous badges that had Cedric Diggory's face on them, but would twist and turn until Harry's face appeared with the words Harry Stinks around him.

Harry didn't seem fazed in the slightest.

Me however, I let out a loud growl when a group of hufflepuff stopped us, holding the badges up in our face.

"I suggest you move." I glared out of the boy and the two girls stood beside him, laughing at Harry who just rolled his eyes trying to push through.
