Aurora Lupin-Black

Chapter 5: The First Task ✔✔

Well, here it is, the day I had been dreading.

The first task.

I was standing with Hermione, in the Quidditch Stand where the first task was to take place.

"BETS, PLACE YOUR BETS!" I heard some one shout for somewhere above us.

"Is that...?" I asked but was immediately cut of by a second voice.

"BETS TAKEN! BETS TAKEN HERE!"

In a fit a rage I stomped to the red haired twin and glared at them.

When the noticed me they stopped.

"Oh Aura, my young friend, care to make a bet on young Harry?" Fred grinned, stepping forward and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"You listen to me and listen good. I'm sure by now Ron has told you what happened, who may dad is and what I can do."

"You mean how your dad is Sirius Black?" George spoke up.

"And how you can turn into a dog?" Fred finished.

"Exactly. So, by now, you should know, I'm not someone you want to piss off. So I suggest you take your betting crap away from me before I do something you'll regret." I growled. Both boys nodded and gave me a sad smile.

"Nervous about Harry?" Fred asked and I let out a sigh.

"How'd you guess?" I chuckled softly.

"The murder threat." He shrugged, making me smile a little.

"Don't worry Ro, your boyfriend is one tough kid. He faced Voldemort, twice and a mass murder." George spoke.

"Falsely accused Mass Murder." I corrected.

"The point is, if Harry can do that, he can sure as hell do this." Fred smiled, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"The difference being, when he defeated Voldemort, he had Ron, Hermione and I to help him, both times and there was never actually any danger when it came to facing my dad."

"Yeah, just the Werewolf, Dementors and Snape." George spoke.

"Shush up." I huffed, pushing ghim alittle making the boys laugh.

"Just, have faith in him Aura, he's a great wizard, everybody knows it, why do you think Hufflepuff have taken his entering into the cup so hard. They know he's got this in the bag."

With that they both left and I wondered back to Hermione.

"I'm going to the champions tent to see Harry, you coming?" I asked her and she nodded.

At the tent we found a gap in the wall, so I peaked though, searching for Harry's head of messy hair.

"Psst" I called out when I saw he was close enough to us.

"Harry, is that you?" Hermione whispered as he pressed up to the gap.

"Yeah."

"How are you feeling, you OK?" Hermione asked making me roll my eyes. It was quite before she spoke again.

"The key is to concentrate, after that, you just have too..."

"Battle A Dragon." Harry and I both spoke.

I saw a hand reach around the wall and I grabbed it only to be immediately pulled into a tight hug.

I let a few tears fall before I pulled away and wiped them clear, looming up at my boyfriend who looked nervous as hell.
