Rhiannon's POV:
Dragons? Okay. Today was the 24th of November and I was standing inside a tent with Harry and the other champions. Hermione came in at the last minute and gave Harry a hug and wished him good luck. However Rita had captured their picture and Im sure she is going to say that they are together. I felt the wind as the flap was opened to reveal Severus. I smiled inwardly.
"Professor." I nodded.
"You remember everything I taught you?" he asked. I nodded and noticed Barty Crouch Sr standing in front of us with a small bag. Severus stood behind me while Dumbledore stood behind Harry and Cedric.
"Alright so I am sure by now all of you have heard of the first task. Yes?" Barty asked. We all nodded. "I want all of you to reach in and pick a dragon. No peeking." Harry had to face a Hungarian Horntail to retrieve the golden egg in that task, which he completed successfully. The other three Champions, Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum, faced a Swedish Short-Snout, a Common Welsh Green, and a Chinese Fireball, respectfully. I on the other hand had to face a Romanian Longhorn(Pic off to the side). I was the last one to try and get the golden egg. Severus had left before everyone went.
"You have seen four out of the five champions successfully retrieve their golden eggs. Our last champion, Miss. Black of Slytherin," Dumbledore explained. I heard cheers for me. I smiled weakly. "Has to go against a Dragon, who is a nasty one. The Romanian Longhorn. Miss. Black if you would please." I walked through the flaps into the pit of the Quidditch field. Everyone was on their feet cheering. I say everyone. However I noticed George gripping the side of the seat and Severus looking paler than normal. I heard the Romanian Longhorn roar as I was in its peripheral vision. I took my wand out of my sleeve of my robes and hide behind a boulder. I thought back about what I read on the creature in Hogwarts A History. The Romanian Longhorn has dark green scales, and two long, glittering golden horns. The Longhorn prefers to gore its prey with its horns before roasting it. The horns of the Longhorn, when powdered, are highly prized as a potion ingredient, and is a Class B Tradeable Material. The Longhorn is seen as being very bulky and large despite being a fairly medium sized species of dragon they appear to have larger muscles. It is also the only dragon that has horns that go straight out like a bull. These long horns and the small one just above its nose in the official artwork make somewhat resemble the triceratops, a dinosaur known and named for its three horns. The native territory of the Longhorn has become home to the world's largest and most important dragon reservation. In recent years, the Longhorn has undergone an intensive breeding programme after its numbers plummeted due to the demand for its horn.
"Come on Rhiannon! You've got this!" I urged myself. I stood confidently and walked out from behind the boulder. I quickly thought about a spell and decided on the Antonin Dolohov's curse, which it is presumed to be a nearly lethal spell used to cause severe internal injury. The incantation is unknown.
"Dolohov." I whispered, thinking about the curse. The dragon instantly shot out fire in my direction and fell to the ground. I ran jumping from boulder to boulder. I quickly made my way over to the egg. However the dragon hit me with its horns. I screamed out in pain. Grabbing my side.
"Avada Kedavra" I shouted, without thinking. The dragon was dead on the spot. I grabbed the egg and lifted it up in the air. Everyone cheered, I released the breath that I hadn't even known I was holding.
Back in the Slytherin common room Draco and Blaise lifted me on their shoulders. I haven't gotten to the infirmary for Madam Pomfrey to look me over and make sure I didnt have anything broken. I had wanted to go, but was rather forced into the common room by a very demanding Pansy and Jasmine.
A/N: Okay so this is just a filler chapter. Next chapter maybe better:)
