04; does eternal glory
come with a side
of barbeque?

Chastity, who somehow got snagged by Crabbe and Goyle, sits practically on top of Draco, after they dumped her "beside" him. Like his lap is beside him.

The stands at the quidditch field are packed and Draco's arms are around her waist, holding her there. Which elicits that mysterious burn again. So she pouts angrily with four different glares stuck to the side of her head.

Pansy Parkinson, because she's sitting on her fantasy boyfriend.

Astoria Greengrass because she has a massive crush on him.

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger because they can't believe she can even tolerate Malfoy, let alone sit on him.

Needless to say, Chastity does not appreciate the glaring.

It's in that moment that her phone, which is in her jeans pocket, rings against Draco's thigh. She pushes herself up slightly to grab it and is quickly yanked back down once she has it.

"Hello?"

"Why aren't you answering my texts?" Its her uncle, Thor.

"Mostly because I can't figure out what you're trying to say. What do you need?" Theres a pause on the other end. A common occurence with them.

"Can you tell me where your healing balm is? I burnt my hand on the toaster making poptarts again."

Chastity rolls her eyes, "my bathroom, bottom left cupboard behind all my... suplies. Why didn't you ask my Dad? Or my Mom? They know where it is."

"I had an excuse to call you. Is that a crime?" Draco who can only hear her side of the conversation, and as a result is thoroughly confused.

"Goodbye, Uncle. Love you, miss you tell everyone I miss them too." Thor returns the goodbye and hangs up.

"Muggle technology?" She looks behind her at Draco's fakely disinterested face.

"Yes." She smirks down at him for a moment; "so I heard you were turned into a ferret?"

Draco groans.

Harry looks out as Cedric returns from his bout against a swedish short snout. He didn't even get singed. He starts to feel sick as his cannon sounds, signalling his turn.

He exits the tent as the crowds cheer half-heartedly. They're excited to see someone fight a dragon. Not so excited that it's Potter.

Suddenly he sees it, the golden egg he needs to retrieve. Releuctantly, he steps out of the cave entrance that provides his sanctuary. Just as he steps out, a barbed tail slams down behind him.

The dragon roars angrily at him as the crowd gasps. Harry could do without the background commentary.

It spews fire at him, twice. He just barely escapes the second blast, scrambling to the semi safety of rock outcroppings.

The horntail, who is attached to a chain, flys up a few dozen metres before slamming it's tail right next to Harry again. He scurries away, narrowly avoiding another stream of screaming hot fire.
