-Full on witch-
19:23, 19 June 2024"So, any clue about what the first task is?" Draco ask sitting next to me.
"Um no. I haven't really thought about it. Is that bad?"
"Yes. Jade people die-"
"Can people stop reminding me, Im well aware thank you." I slam my book close and go to leave, "Now since you're so worried about my lack of preparation. Im going to go see what I can find out. Happy?" Draco nods slightly.
I walk past the Great Hall, when I bump into the Weasley Twins. "Hello boys."
"Hello Jade. Triwizard Champion."
"How did you do it?"
"I didn't put my name in the Goblet."
"That's what Harry said."
"Speaking of my brother, do you know where he is? Im trying to figure what the first task is."
"No we don't."
"But our brother, Charlie is here at the moment, apparently he helped bring over some dragons from Romania."
"Dragons?" I look at them shocked.
"Yeah he works with them."
"That probably what the first task."
"Yeah no shit, well thanks for the help, im going to chuck myself off the astronomy tower now."
They laugh, "I don't think that will be much help."
I sigh, leaving them still laughing as I head decide to head to the library.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
I tiredly walk towards the courtyard, my late-night library session, was some what useful. Do I know what im going to do if I have to fight a dragon? no. But at least im now more educated. I notice that students are wearing badges that read Potter Stinks. Thankfully, my face was not on them, so I didn't really care. I spot my brother heading over to Cedric as I make my way to Draco.
"Why are you in a tree?" I look up.
"Why not?" He smirks down.
"Because you look like an idiot. Anyway was it your idea, these badges?"
"There's Potter. Cheat." Crabbe tells Draco before he can answer.
"Why so tense, Potter?" Draco calls out.
"Really Draco?" I groan, leaning against the tree
"My father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you're gonna last 10 minutes in this tournament" He jumps down from the tree. "He disagrees. He think you won't last five."
"I don't give a damn what your father thinks, Malfoy." He pushes him slightly ."Did you make bets on Jade too? Honestly you're pathetic." He walks away and Draco pull out his wand "Pathetic?"
But before he can do anything Moody walks over, "oh, no, you don't sonny!" He yells turning Draco into a ferret. "That'll teach you to curse someone when their back is turned!"
I stare in disbelief as everyone else laughs.
"You stinking, cowardly, scummy..." He lifts ferret Draco into the air.
"Professor! Stop!" I yell.
"Professor Moody!" McGonagall walks over. "What are you doing?"
"Teaching."
"Is that a? Is that a student?"
"Technically, It's a ferret."
"It's Draco. Now turn him back." I protest as Moody moves him to go in Crabbe's trousers. Everyone laughs, I glare at him as he winks at Harry. Thankfully McGonagall turns him back.
Draco stands up in shock, "My father will hear about this!" He tells Moody before running off.
"Is that a threat?" Moody runs after him.
"Professor Moody!"
"Is that a threat?" He chases Draco around the tree. "I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair!"
"Alastor! Alastor." McGonagall yells.
"It doesn't end here!"
I scoff, rolling my eyes before going to find Draco. Harry stops me, "Hey the first task-"
"I know, it's Dragons. Now excuse me." I push him away.
...
"Where is Draco?" I ask Crabbe and Goyle as I enter the common room, they point to his room.
I knock gently. "Go away!"
I sigh, opening the door anyway. "I said go away!" He turns spotting me. "Jade? come to laugh at me, huh?"
"Uh no." I shut the door behind me. "I was coming to see if you're okay. Honestly, I don't like Moody. There is something about him, that just doesn't sit right with me."
I sit down next to him, "You've mentioned. Why is he giving Potter special treatment anyway?"
"I don't know. You okay though?" I ask fixing a strand of his hair.
"I suppose so. Potter will pay for this though."
"Im sure he will. But hey, I know one thing is for sure?" I smile as he look at me. "You're cute as a ferret."
He rolls his eyes, "Will you stop calling me cute?"
"Never. Anyway, I know what the first task is about."
"What?"
"Dragons."
"Dragons?"
"Yes, that's what I said. I was in the library last night trying to figure out what to do, but I've got nothing." I huff.
"Well we got to think of something soon. "
I turn to him "We?"
"Yeah, I bet Moody is helping Potter and the others are older than you, they know more advance spells. Do you really have nothing?"
"Uh, i was just thinking of turning invisible or something."
"They'd be able to smell you. Now what are you good at?"
"Uh I don't know Draco!"
"What about that smoke thing or whatever you did in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, with the spider?"
"You saw that too?"
"I saw how you moved the Spider without touching it, and I saw the shocked look on Moody's face."
"Oh. Well I don't know how I did that and I can't control the smoke so we're back to nothing." I lay back on the bed.
"Do you at least know spells to protect yourself, like a forcefield one or something?"
"Uh yeah. Kinda." I cringe as Draco exhales.
"Right, come one. We've got work to do." He stands up holding his hand out. "Im not letting you die in the first minute."
I laugh, "Why not? Do you have a bet with your father?"
"No. I just don't want you to die, at least not before your brother "
I smirk as he pulls me off the bed, "Im going to ignore that last bit."
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
I pace the tent waiting for the first round to start. Harry walks up to me, "You okay Jade?"
"Yeah, Yeah im fine." I walk off to the corner of the tent, watching as Rita Skeeter gets a photo of Hermione and Harry hugging. I try to keep out of her sight, the last thing i need right now is to listen to her make up lies.
"You have no business here. This tent is for champions and friends." Krum tells Rita, when I feel a tap on my shoulder, before I can turn around Im dragged out the tent.
"Merlin Draco." I gasp seeing him. "You can't sneak up on me like that, not when im this nervous."
"Sorry, I just wanted to check on you before- you know-" I cut him off, pulling him into a hug."You're going to do amazing. Just trust your gut." He tells me as I hold him tightly. "Right you better get back in there."
"Yeah okay. I'll see you later." I gulp.
"Of course. Good luck. You'll be fine." He smiles before kissing my forehead and walking back to the stands, I head back in the tent as everyone gathers in a circle.
"Miss Delacour, over here. Mr Krum" Barty crouch directs them. "Potter, Mr Potter, over here. Now where's the other one. Ah Miss Potter, right there." He nods to the spot next to my brother, and Cedric. "Now Miss Delacour if you will" He holds out the bag and she pulls out a miniature version of a dragon. "The Welsh Green"
"Mr Krum. The Chinese Fireball. Ooh... The Swedish short-snout, Mr Diggory." He now turns to me, I shove my hand in the bag and pull out "The Peruvian Vipertooth, great." I sigh, looking over as Harry gets the Hungarian Horntail. Well at least I don't have that one.
"These represent five very real dragons each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple: collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg contains a clue without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions?"
"Very well. Good luck, Champions. Mr Diggory, at the sound of the cannon you may-" Dumbledore starts but the cannon goes off.
"Good luck" I smile at him.
It was just me and Harry left. I jump when the cannon goes off. It was my turn.
"Just don't die" Harry tells me.
"Great advice thank you!" I grin, I step out of the tent into the arena.
"Please welcome Jade Potter" the crowd cheers, as I spot the egg and then my dragon. It looks directly at me and I freeze.
"Move Jade. Move!" Someone in the crowd yells as the Vipertooth runs straight towards me.
There is no way I can out run this thing, they're the fastest breed of dragon. I take a deep breath, right focus Jade, come on. The first thing I do is cast a Shield Charm, Draco and I had been practicing it all of yesterday. I start to walk towards the egg as a stream of fire heads towards me, I don't get burnt , thanks to the charm but I am thrown across the arena by the Vipertooths tails.
I groan as I land on a rock, rubbing the back of my head, I feel blood. Great. The sound of the crowd screaming makes me look back up, the Vipertooth is making it's way over to me. I look around for my wand but It's too far away. Shit.
The dragon opens it mouth and I close my eyes and hold my hands in front of my face bracing myself, when I hear a the crowd gasp. I slowly open my eyes, the Vipertooth practically hovering over me but then I notice my hands, black smoke and sparks were coming out of them. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion but I don't have time to think as I hear a screech. Right this better work. I point my hands at the beast and a lightening bolt flies out hitting in the right eye.
I take the opportunity to get up and run behind a rock. I feel myself getting dizzy from the loss of blood but I remain focused. Peaking around the rock I spot the dragon looking around. Okay, I look down at my hands and focus. I start spin my hands together, as if I was moulding a bowl and smoke forms again. Brilliant.
I shoot my hands towards the Dragon and smoke wrap around it, messing with it's senses. I keep my hands directed at it, as I slowly walk towards the egg. The Vipertooth remains still as I reach the nest, picking up the egg. I drop my hands and make a beeline back to safety as the crowd erupts into cheers. "Jade! Jade! Jade!" They chant.
I walk through the exit and spot the other champions, "Jade? how did it go." Cedric asks, but I feel myself start to spin. I lift the egg slightly before collapsing to the ground. "Jade" I hear faintly as everything goes black.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
My eyes open slowly and Im met with several concerned-looking faces.
"How are you feeling Jade?" Dumbledore asks me.
"My head hurts" I groan.
"Well you took quite a hit but nevertheless you were successful."
"I did it?"
"Yes, Miss Potter you are joint first and through to the next round" Crouch informs me. I smile.
"Oh good. I was convinced I was going to be killed by that dragon."
"No, you did it. I do want to speak to you about what happened though. But for now there is someone here for you. And I assume you will want to celebrate your victory too." Dumbledore states, as he and the other adults leave the room.
"Hey, what is it with you and passing out?" I hear Draco joke as he appears from behind some of the professors.
"Draco." I smile as he sits on the bed.
"Honestly, you really know how to keep people on their toes."
I laugh, "Go big or go home, you know what they say. Got to get the attention off my brother some how."
"Hmm well you got the egg! You did it just like I said you would" He says smugly.
"I did. Honestly that was extremely stressful, when I hit my head, i was ready to give up."
"Instead you went full witch, your hands? Was that what happened last year too"
"Sort of... I was just bracing myself when they started to produce smoke and sparks. Some how i manage to control it this time, but im so confused."
"Why don't you try do it now?" Draco ushers.
"Um okay." I look at my hands, sticking my tongue out as I try to focus, a little spark appears but no smoke. "That's it." I exhale.
"How did you manage to do so much during the task then?"
"I don't know, I was under pressure. It was a do or die situation. Anyway Dumbledore says he wants to speak to me, and I should probably updates Remus."
"Yeah maybe but he also said to celebrate, so let's go show off that egg" He stands up pointing at the golden egg on the bedside table.
"Okay, wait who else got first place?" I ask slowly standing up.
"Krum, Harry was joint second with Cedric and the Fleur's last." He explains grabbing my hand."Now come on Miss first place, people are waiting for you" I stand up and he pulls me into a quick hug before we heads back to the common room
...
We walk through the entrance everyone cheers. I laugh, slightly overwhelmed.
"You were brilliant out there."
"How did you do it?"
"Let's go Team Slytherin!"
Draco protectively wraps his arm around me as everyone surrounds us.
"Go on Jade, What's the clue?" Pansy yells.
"Yeah open it !"
"Okay, okay, I'll open it." I laugh twisting the top, a loud screech comes out of the egg and everyone goes to cover their ears as I slam it shut. "Well that was helpful." I joke.
"How are you going to figure that one out?" Draco asks.
"No clue."
