Chapter 8: Chosing Fate
POV: Ginny
I sit in the contestants tent. Harry is talking with Ron and Hermonie. I give her little glances but she doesn't seem to acknowledge them. Luna walks into the tent and over to me. She notices my longing stare at Hermonie.
"She misses you too, you know." I sigh. "She doesn't seem like she does." she puts a friendly hand on my shoulder. "Trust me she does. This is just as hard on you as it is on her."
"I guess." Dumbledore and Mr. Crouch from the Ministry Of Magic come into the tent. "All non-contestants please leave the tent. We are about to begin the first challenge." Mr. Crouch commands.
All our friends leave, Hermonie giving me a sad glance as she passes. I can feel tears well up in my eyes but I shake them out. I have to focus or I'm dead. Dragons are very fierce creatures. And very protective.
Mr. Crouch brings me back to reality. "In this bag," I now notice the bag he was holding. "I have small versions of three very real dragons. You will each reach into the bag and pull out the dragon you will face. Each dragon is guarding a golden egg which contains the clue to the next challenge. Without it, you will fail."
I have to get an egg from a dragon?! Oh yeah, this is going to to swimmingly. He turns to Fleur. "Miss De Lacor you first." She cautiously reaches her hand into the blue sack. Fleur winces slightly bringing her hand out of the bag. When she reveals the reddish creature in her hand, a stream of fire comes from its snout making the gold spikes shimmer. "The Chinese Fireball for you." He moves to Harry next. "Mr. Potter.
Unlike Fleur, Harry eagerly sticks his hand into the bag and pulls out his dragon. He opens his hand and reveals a tiny green dragon with smooth scales. He looks disappointed. "The Welsh Green." Mr. Crouch now moves to me.
I can feel my eyes get wider, and butterflies fill my stomach. "Miss Wesley." He holds the bag in my direction, and much like Fleur I cautiously reach in. I can feel spikes under my fingers, and heat from fire. It burns my fingers. The dragon runs a bit making it hard for me to catch him.
I finally catch him and pull my hand out of the sack as quickly as possibly. Slowly, I open my hand revealing a black creature with long bronze spikes along its tail. He snaps at my fingers. I know this dragon. "Oooo, the Hungarian Horntail." My insides fall to the floor. This dragon is very large and vicious. I don't think this will end well for me.
"Now that everyone has their dragon. Miss De Lacour, you're first." She nods and follows Mr. Crouch out of the tent.
-------
Fleur returns with minor burns and scrapes from the spikes, but she has gotten her egg. Harry returns with the same minor burns, but no scrapes. He also, got his egg in less time than Fleur. "Miss Wesley. Its your turn." Mr. Crouch says coming into the tent. I take a deep breathe and prepare for my death.
A/N: I know, I know. Im taking forever to get to the actual challenge, but I cant let all the good stuff happen all at once ;3 Since I am posting this on valentines day just want to say happy valentines day everyone! I hope it was great and I love you all! You're going to love the next chapter :3
