"Good luck Harry." Luna smiled at him but it seemed forced. She sounded genuinely worried for the first time Harry could remember. She was dressed in her school robes with her Lion Hat. She was walking down with Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione.

Harry took her hand. "I'll be fine Luna. I know what I'm doing promise."

"Yeah we've practiced like hell." Hermione nudged him.

"You'll do better than anyone else here."

"No problem." Draco agreed.

"Yeah. Just a little dragon. Faced them like twice before." The group made a week sort of laugh.

"Seriously Harry." Luna looked at him; they were outside the tent now.

"Oh umm we should find the twins." Ron suggested.

"Good idea Ret." Hermione caught on quicker than Draco. "They might cause a scene of some sort. Come on Dray."

"Subtle." Harry smiled.

"Here." She held out a bracelet made of metal wire and green ribbon. "For luck."

"Thank you Luna." Harry held it and tried to get it on.

"Let me help." Luna reached forward and fastened it around his left wrist.

"I love it thank you." Harry leaned forward he thought for a moment about kissing her. Instead he placed his arms around her in a hug. "Thank you. Luna."

"Good Luck Harry Potter."

Harry walked into the tent and waited. He held his modal dragon in his hand. He wondered if Hagrid would like it.

He watched as Cedric went out to face his dragon. All three of them wished him the best of luck.

Cedric had listened closely to Harry's advice. He used the most powerful Lumos he could conger. Partly blinding most of the crowd as well as the Swedish Short Snout.

He held it above his head the whole time and was only seen again at the edge of the stadium with the egg in his hand.

Next was Fleur who didn't have such an easy time. She summoned a black sheep to feed the dragon. Unknown to her she had stolen it from a nearby farm. The Dragon ran after it and ate it quickly.

Once it had finished it turned angrily back to the girl raiding its nest. Only quick moves had Fleur out of the way in time. She escaped with only a small burn on her shoulder.

Viktor faced the Chinese fireball by trapping it in a lake of water. Momentarily forgetting it could fly. He got out with a few mild burns but the egg in his arms.

Then it was Harrys turn.

He made sure his hair was tied away from his face and walked out. He stood still and cast his summoning charm into the sky.

With a simple notice me not charm he walked towards the nest. It would only protect him for so long. He glanced people looking at him confused. They had been watching before the charm was cast so they couldn't really be swayed from him.

They all wondered why just walking to the nest was actually working. It was when he actually touched the eggs that the mothering instinct broke through the charm.

That was when the Firebolt came to Harry rescue.

Nearly three decades of practice let Harry jump and land on the broom whilst it was still mid-air. The crowd was naturally impressed.

He flew round the dragon confusing it as he grabbed the egg on the return. The Dragon became furious. Luckily Harry new exactly what to do. Dodging and moving away from the fire and the tail. Not a clip or a burn from the dragon. Harry easily escaped with the golden egg in his hands.

"God Harry and I thought I could vly." Viktor seemed very impressed.

"Thanks Viktor. That means a lot coming from you." Harry smiled politely.

"You'll have to teach me vat jump some time. I'vve never seen anything like it."

"Mr Krum let me look at him." Madam Pomphrey came up to Harry. "Gosh Abigale is going to have a fit. She told you to keep your stress down."

"I'm not stressed Ma'am. I'm perfectly calm." She didn't look impressed but Harry felt as if that was the truth. He felt great.

"Well you're not injured. I am surprised that you're mostly all unharmed. Of course I'm glad about it."

Harry smiled when a small blond Head peaked through the tent. Harry moved to go outside. Cedric followed him.

Hermione hugged him first but Luna got into the other side of him. He grabbed both girls. They were both crying. Ginny and Genevieve looked worried also; Fray was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey come on he's fine." Draco nudged Hermione.

"That's so dangerous."

"Don't worry." Harry encouraged them. "That's as dangerous as the tasks get."

"Promise?" Hermione demanded.

"I promise Kin. It's just a swim and a maze. I'll breeze through them." Harry noticed Ron was holding Luna's lion hat. He smiled and ran his fingers over the top of her hair.

Luna stayed attached to Harry's side as he was scored. Harry didn't mind; he held her close. Luna's existence made him Happy. She was so pure and wonderful.

Cedric was given a nine from Maxime, Dumbledore and Crouch; Ludo gave a ten and Karkaoff gave a six. This was to many people's outrage; he deserved much higher. This resulted in a total of 43 for Hogwarts.

Viktor was given an eight from Maxime and Dumbledore, Crouch gave a seven because of his burns. Ludo gave a nine and unsurprisingly Karkaoff gave a ten. This left Viktor with a 42.

Fleur got a nine from Maxine and Ludo. Eights from Dumbledore and Karkaoff. Crouch gave a seven for the stolen sheep. She resulted in 41 for her school.

Harry had a nine from, Maxime and Crouch. Dumbledore and Ludo gave him a ten. Karkaoff gave Hogwarts another six leaving Harry with the highest score of 44.

When Harry turned Ginny and Genevieve were gone. It was getting cold out.

Harry persuaded Viktor and Fleur to come to lunch with Himself and Cedric. Ron said the twins were bringing food from the kitchens to the room of requirement; which provided food as well.

Luna had calmed down a little and was skipping beside Harry now. The held hands with her making Fleur smile. She loved love.

"Ah the Champions." Harry smile dropped at the voice of Rita Skeeter. "How do you feel about a word or so about the first task?"

Viktor looked at her and coughed to hold back a threatening laugh.

"Oh Mademoiselle we are ever so tired. We don't have the energy to deal with you today." Fleur smiled ever so sweetly.

"What about you miss?" Rita asked Luna.

"I'm hungry." Luna told her. "I think I want soup."

"Yes but we're you worried about your boyfriend. Being the youngest champion."

"My boyfriend." Luna smiled. "Do you want soup Harry? It's going to get cold. I think it might rain."

"Oh yes. I love the Pumpkin soup they have." Harry moved to continue walking. "How does that sound for you guys?"

"I'm having chicken." Ron stated. "But soup does sound good pretty good about now."

"Please just one comment."

"Okay." Viktor had composed himself now. Rita smiled up at him. "I don't like pu'kin soup. I'll have tomato."

The whole group smiled at him as they walked up to the castle.

"SURPRISE." The whole room of requirement celebrated. There were banners everywhere. Each of the champions beating their dragon. Harry was most fond of the picture of Viktor drowning a dragon.

"Congratulations."

"Voah." Viktor looked around at the large group. The training things had been pushed to the sides of the room. Some tables had arrived and music was playing.

"For us?" Viktor could see his name beside the others.

"Of course." Hermione smiled. "We didn't fight a dragon did we."

"Come on Sparks." Ron grabbed Harrys arm. "Look what the twins have brought."

"Wow where'd you get all this?"

"Kitchens; some from our visits to Hogsmead."

"Just don't let the kids near the firewhiskey."

"Sir yes Sir." They twins' ran after Lee Jordan to relay their orders. Harry couldn't hold back his grin; despite almost being killed by a dragon life was good.
