The Mudblood and The Slytherin Prince

Chapter 11: Horntail

It was finally Harry's turn to compete. The horntail dragon was bigger than when you first saw it. If Harry was able to get his broom in there, you weren't sure how he would be able to avoid it to grab that egg.

You could feel Hermonie shaking beside you. You grab ahold of her hand for support and she calms down a little.

'Harry will be okay, got it?' You say to her, trying to keep your voice calm.

Everyone else managed to get their eggs. Cedric had some more difficulty than the others, but he came through.

Dumbledore announces that it's Harry's turn and he comes into view. He immediately makes eye contact with you and you give him a smile and a thumbs up. He starts looking around and noticed the egg. He begins walking towards it, but then the horntail whips his tail in front of Harry.

You jump and tighten the grip on Hermonie's hand. She did the same and your hand starts to hurt, but you hardly notice. The entire time you don't take your eyes off Harry. The dragon shoots fire at him and he barely makes his way behind a rock. Hermonie can't take anymore and jumps up and yells at him.

'Your wand, Harry! Use your wand!'

He hears her and yells something. He looks around, but doesn't see the dragon and tries to go back after the egg, but has to run behind another rock. The back of his hair get singed a little and you can hear Malfoy laughing. Over our heads his firebolt comes into view and he jumps on, his broom barely making it away from the dragons fire. He tries to dive down to get the egg, but it doesn't work, the dragon nips at him. When he flies back up to get away, the dragon comes off its chain and flies after Harry.

Now everyone is silent as Harry and the dragon are gone.

'Bloody hell that was close.' Ron says.

'Blimey, Ron! We can't see Harry! There's no telling what could happen to him!' You yell at him.

You reach down for your bag but notice it isn't there, you start to panic.

'Her- Hermonie... have you seen my bag?'

'No. I think you did take it with you when you went to talk to Malfoy' Panic begins to fill you and you run out of the bleachers to go get your bag.

But when you go under the bleachers it isn't there.

'Looking for something?' You turn around to see Malfoy leaning up against a post, holding your bag.

You run up to him to grab it but he pulls it away from you.

'Nope. You gotta give me something first.' He says smirking.

You ignore him and jump to grab your bag. You didn't realize how much shorter you were compared to him until now.

'Malfoy, please! I need my bag!' You yell as you continue jumping up and down.

'What could be in here that's so important? How about... your diary?' Your eyes go wide when he says that. 'Well, it's not in there so you can have your bag I guess.'

'Where is it?!' You yell after him as he walks away, but he ignores you.

You start digging through your bag to see if he was lying, but he was telling the truth. You hear people cheering above you and notice Harry coming back through the bleachers. The dragon no longer following him. He manages to get the egg and makes his way back to the tent for Madame Pomfrey to check on him.

You're still looking around for your diary even after everyone has left. But it's no where to be seen. Harry notices you under the bleachers and walks over to you.

'Hey, are you okay?'

'Mal- Ma- Malfoy took- took-' you can't even get the words out before you start crying.

You're life could be ruined if anyone else beside him found out what was in there. Your mind immediately goes to Pansy. If she reads it, you might as well leave Hogwarts.

'What about Malfoy?' Harry asks.

You take in a deep breath and try not to panic. It's okay. It's not a big deal. It's just a book that you write about everything in and will only send you into a huge panic if everyone in the school finds out what's in there. No problem. Not a problem at all.

'Nothing,' you finally get out, 'let's head back. I bet everyone is worried.

--------------------

Harry was able to get you into the Gryffindor common room to celebrate with everyone. Fred and George are holding him up cheering him on.

'Open it, Harry!' Fred says.

'Yeah, let's hear the clue!' George continues.

Everyone starts agreeing and Harry opens the egg. A loud screech comes out and Fred and George drop Harry onto the ground.

'Bloody hell, what was that?' Ron says, just now entering the room.

Harry walks over to him and they start talking. You guess everything is forgiven because they give each other a hug and Hermonie starts crying from the corner.

'Oh, yeah (y/n), there's some Hufflepuff outside the common room looking for you.' Ron says. You give him a weird look, but decide to go anyway.

'Harry, come with me?' You ask him. He nods and follows you out the door.

And right in front of you is Pansy Parkinson and a few other Slytherins.
