《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 4-7 | The First Task
Advertisement
The loud bang of the cannon roared across the air. On the field stood the Swedish Short-snout as all the students waited for Cedric to come out.
"CEDRIC! CEDRIC! CEDRIC!" They all chanted. The crowed roared into cheers and claps as Cedric came out. In the middle of the field was a golden egg, the champions would have to retrieve the golden egg from the dragon to proceed to the second task. The golden egg contained a clue for the next task, the champions would have to figure it out. My heart started to beat faster as the dragon roared at Cedric. He panicked a little before taking out his wand and turned a few rocks into dogs using transfiguration. The dragon chased after the dogs getting distracted by them as the crowd roared out.
Cedric slowly approached the golden egg while the dragon was distracted but was unable to when the dragon breathed out fire at him. I covered my mouth watching him dive away from the dragon and quickly retrieved the golden egg. The crowd went absolutely wild jumping up and down making noises cheering for Cedric who held up the golden egg for everyone to see. A sigh of relief escaped the crack of my mouth as I smiled cheering for him.
"Cedric Diggory retrieved the golden egg and will now be able to proceed to the second task!" Dumbledore yelled out as Cedric walked out of the field holding the golden egg. "Next we have Fleur Clermont!"
My body tensed up real fast again and my heart started to quicken once more. Hermione held on to my hand tight reassuringly as Fleur walked onto the field after the loud bang of a cannon. She was faced against the Common Welsh Green. She didn't seem to panic but I know deep inside she was terrified, who wouldn't be?
The dragon swung it's tail making Fleur go flying backwards hitting the floor. The crowd filled with gasps once again as Fleur quickly got up to her feet pointing her wand at the dragon. With a quick flick the dragon that was charging at her stopped and collapsed on the ground falling into deep sleep. She used the bewitching curse on it putting it into bewitching sleep. She walked around the dragon laying on the ground fast but cautiously as the crowd watched in dead silence. Suddenly the dragon snorted in it's sleep breathing out a short burst of fire that caught on to Fleur's skirt.
"Bloody hell" Ron watched star shocked as she extinguished the fire out and grabbed the golden egg. "Your sister is incredible Evelyn" He said with his eyes glued on Fleur while the crowd roared in cheers. I rolled my eyes smiling and cheered watching my sister walk off the field proudly with the golden egg in her hand. Ginny and Hermione on the other hand just looked at each other instead of cheering.

"Fleur Clermont successfully retrieved the golden egg and will now be proceeding to the next task. Next up we have Viktor Krum!"
Another loud bang echoed through the air and I turned to look at Hermione who shifted her position looking more intrigued.
"You and Viktor?" I giggled nudging Hermione.
"He just stares at me while I'm reading" She whispered back as Viktor walked into the field. Viktor was against the Chinese fireball. He didn't panic at all and walked up to the dragon confidently pointing his wand at it making the eyes swell up like it had pink eyes. The dragon shrieked moving it's head left and right trying to be able to see. He had used to conjunctivitis curse making the dragon blind. He stomped up behind the dragon not even frightened when the Dragon went wild clawing and smashing it's tail everywhere roaring, one of it's sharp claws slashing Viktor's arm. Hermione gasped as Viktor yelled out while reaching for the golden egg and retrieving it. The crowd went wild once again chanting his name and he walked off the field carrying the golden egg.
"Three of our champions have now faced their dragons so each one of them will proceed to the next task. And now our fourth and final contestant" Another loud bang of the cannon echoed through the air.
"HARRY! HARRY! HARRY!" The crowd of students chanted as Harry slowly stepped up to the field. Crazy how they were the exact people wearing those stupid badges just hours ago. Harry started to rush over to the golden egg when the horntail's spiky tail smashed into the wall right beside him. The crowd all jumped and watched in fear as the horntail roared.
It flung Harry to the ground and started to breath fire at it, Hermione's grip on my hand getting tighter as she let out a gasp. He quickly ran out of the range of the fire but didn't use any spells against it, he was scared. The dragon flew above Harry and continued to smash it's sharp tail on the ground over and over barely missing Harry each time. The crowd continued to jump letting out gasps each time it's tail smashed in the ground. Hermione quickly turned away and buried her face in my shoulders unable to watch.
"YOUR WAND HARRY USE YOUR WAND!" I yelled out in desperation.
"Accio Firebolt!" He flicked his wand as nothing happened. The crowed was silent and the only thing that could be heard was the roars of the dragon. From the air came down his broom and it hovered over the ground. Harry tried to reach for it but failed when the Dragon started to breath out fire. He quickly hid behind a rock dodging it and waited until it stopped to jump on to his broom.
"YES! YES!!" Hermione looked back up from my shoulder cheering for Harry, even Ron. He flew around the field and the Dragon got up to chase after it breaking the chain around it's neck effortlessly. Harry flew above the stand with all the teachers as the dragon followed out of the field destroying the roof of the stand. The students all cheered for Harry as the dragon and him disappeared into the air.

"Now do you believe that Harry didnt put his name in the goblet?" I said turning to face Ron.
"He's got to be absolutely nuts to want to go through this" He said furrowing his eyebrows. Hermione let out a laugh before all three of our faces stiffened quickly waiting anxiously for something to happen.
It had been about 5 minutes and Hermione Ron and I didn't take our eyes off the sky. I was extremely anxious and my heart was beating fast, if Harry dies here I will simply use all three of the forbidden curses on Dumbledore and go to Azkaban. From the sky shot up a broom with Harry on it and the three of us immediately sighed in relief before cheering.
"YES!! YES!!!!" Hermione let out the loudest scream ever. The crowd all went crazy clapping and cheering as Harry flew back down to the field retrieving the golden egg.
***
Everyone was gathered around Harry in the Gryffindor common rooms as Harry showed off the golden egg in the middle. We all clapped for him, even the paintings. The weasley twins picked him up and placed him on their shoulders.
"Knew you wouldn't die Harry!"
"Lose a leg-"
"Or an arm"
"pack of all together, NEVER!"
"SHUT UP!" Seamus yelled making the crowd go silent, "Go on Harry, what's the clue!"
"who wants me to open it?" Harry asked showing off the golden egg once again as we all screamed and cheered, "you want me to open it?"
"YES!!"
He unscrewed the top part of the golden egg around and it shined a very bright yellow light and let out a terrifying screech. We all hurdled up covering our ears, even the paintings, the shrikes it let out were terribly loud. Harry quickly closed the egg making the sound go away.
"Bloody hell was that" Ron said walking up towards Harry and drawing everyone's attention toward him.
"Alright everyone, let's give them some space" George said as everyone walked away doing their own thing. Hermione and I watched as the two mumble among each other. We looked at each other and shook our heads rolling our eyes.
"boys" Hermione muttered pulling me up to the girl's dormitories.
"Do you already have someone in mind?" Hermione asked taking off her coat.
"Sorry?"
"Someone to take to the Yule Ball of course"
The yule ball, of course. It was a tradition to hold a ball following the Tri-Wizard championship. Well of course in that case, I wanted to go with Harry.
"No," I lied, "But you would want to go with Ron yeah?"
She rolled her eyes turning away laughing. She wasn't denying it, she clearly fancied him.
"All the boys probably wants to go with you or your sister fleur, taking a veela to the ball sounds like an achievement"
"Viktor Krum couldn't take his eyes off of you Hermione, if I must say so myself I think Ron's got competition" I chuckled changing into my pajamas.
***
Hermione and I sat across from Harry and Ron. Hermione was too busy reading the Daily Prophet and I had my nose in my book.
"Hi harry" The Patil twin sisters walked by Harry giving him a smile. Since when did they talk to Harry? I peeked over from my book to see Harry staring at someone. At the other end of his gaze was Cho Chang giving him such a fake smile giggling. Harry returned the smile forgetting he had pumpkin juice in his mouth and spitting it out. He quickly looked away embarrassed as Cho giggled. Her expressions quickly turned into a frown when her eyes met mine looking at me up and down before turning away.
"Look at this!" Hermione exclaimed flapping her newspaper. "Can't believe she's done it again. Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl seems to have a taste only in famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report, is none other then the Bulgarian quidditch star, Viktor Krum. No word yet on Harry Potter's latest emotional blow" I choked on my pumpkin juice hearing that.
"Got a mail for you Mr. Weasley" Nigel walked over to our table handing Ron a box. He stood anxiously staring at Harry with his bright eyes. He reminded me of Colin from our second year.
"Yeah Nigel, later" Ron nudged the little boy who looked like he was in his first year as he walked away. Hermione signed and gave Ron 'the look'. "I told Nigel I'd get him his autograph.. Oh look, mom sent me something" He said opening the box.
From the box he pulled out some sort of dress robe, it was extremely.. vintage.
"..Mom sent me a dress!" Ron said getting up and putting the dress robe up against him.
"Well it does match your eyes, is there a bow on it? Aha!" Harry pulled out a shirt with a bow tie on it and held it against Ron. It was really fancy and... extremely vintage. Extremely.
"Ginny this was made for you" He walked over showing Ginny the dress robe.
"I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly" Ginny told Ron. Hermione and I looked at each other and bursted into laughter.
"What are you two on about?" Ron walked back towards Hermione and I.
"They're not for Ginny-" The Weasley twins laughed as Hermione started.
"They're for you, dress robes! For the Yule hall" I said finishing her sentence.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
