Chapter 13. Finding Out.
I end up meeting Harry right outside and together we left to Hagrids hut.
None of us had said anything yet. We didn't need to though.
It was pretty clear we were both really nervous and excited to find out what the first task will be.
Soon as we get closer we spot the huge form of Hagrid, who was currently waiting for us clutching a lantern.
I look at Harry. He looks at me. " You ready?"
I nod. " As ready as I'll ever be." I say.
He nods and we finally make it to Hagrid. He looks at us.
" Ah Harry, Draco. You made it." He says.
We both nod. He looks at Harry. " Harry, did you remember to bring yer cloak?" He asks.
" Yes I remembered it." Says Harry.
" Then Ye best bring it out. You two be needing it quite soon." Says Hagrid.
I look at Harry. " Cloak? What cloak?" I say.
" First Christmas here at Hogwarts I was given my fathers invisibility cloak. It's come in handy at times." Says Harry.
My eyes widen. " Ok, cool." I say.
He smirks and reaches into the side bag he brought, that I hadn't even noticed till he brought the cloak out of it.
" Keep this a secret though. Only a few people know about this. " says Harry.
I just nod. He's right to keep it secret. If some of the other Slytherin's knew about this, they would try to steal it from him.
" Thank you." Says Harry.
" Ok you lot, follow me." Says Hagrid.
We did. We walked into the forbidden forest.
We followed close behind Hagrid. " Where are we going?" I ask.
" You'll see soon enough." Says Hagrid.
" Wait a minute. Hagrid, you combed your beard." Says Harry.
Hagrid didn't answer. Instead he looked at us." " Hurry and put the cloak on." He says.
Harry nodded and out the cloak over the two of us.
" 'Agrid!" Called a voice with a accent.
" Over here!" Says Hagrid.
Then the person came into sight. My eyes widen and I look at Harry.
" Isn't that the Beauxbatons Academy Headmistress?" I whisper.
" Madam Maxime. Yes." He whispered back.
Hagrid started talking to her and they started walking again.
Harry and I followed close behind. Then we heard. " But where are we going 'Agrid?" Shes asks.
He just smiles. " You'll see. It's a surprise. " he says.
We continue walking until we hear it. Roars. Loud ones.
Madams Maxime gasps. My jaw drops when I see it.
People trying to keep these things calm. Then the walls around one of them fall down and we get a look at what we're gonna be up against.
" Their beautiful. Can we get closer?" Asks Madam Maxime.
She then walks forward. Harry takes the cloak off our heads and we look up at Hagrid.
" Dragons?" I ask.
" That's the first task?" Asks Harry.
Hagrid nods. " Their amazing creatures aren't they. " he says.
I can't believe this. We're going up against dragons for the first task.
I look at Harry. He must be thinking the same thing I am.
These people are crazy. How are we supposed to fight those things?!
After a while of looking at them we head back and Harry and I go straight to the Astronomy Tower.
The seconds were there I look at Harry. " Dragons!! We're facing Dragons for the first task!!" I almost yell.
" Shhh!! We can't afford to get caught. " says Harry.
I quiet down. " What are we supposed to do?" I say.
" I don't know. I guess just get ourselves prepared to face a dragon, find out what we're doing in the task when we do the first task and go from there." Says Harry.
I sigh. " Ok, I guess that could work. " I say.
He nods. " There's one other thing we need to worry about now though." Says Harry.
I look at him. " What?" I say.
" Us as mortal enemies. If we don't start a fight sometime people will suspect something." Says Harry.
" I was thinking about that a while back. " I say.
" So my, mortal enemy, what do you suppose we do?" He asked.
" I say tomorrow we stage a fight. " I say.
" Ok, what do you want the fight to be about?" Says Harry.
" Does it matter? We normally fight over anything. How's this. You'll walk in. Start reading or something. I'll be sitting in a tree with Pansy and Blaise below standing on the ground. When you go to walk into the corridor, I'll say something stupid and we'll go from there. Sound good?" I asked.
He nods. " Sounds fine to me." He says.
I sigh again. " This is going to be one crazy messed up year." I say.
Harry sits down. " You can say that again." He says.
I sit down as well. " Have you had anymore nightmares?" I ask.
" I have one every night. " he says.
" I know you don't want to tell me, but can you at least answer me this? When did the nightmares begin?" I ask.
" Just before we left for the Quidditch World Cup. " says Harry.
" Blimey. You've been having nightmares every night since then?" I ask.
He nods. " Every single night. "
" Wow." I say. That's all I can say. I don't know what else I could say to that.
We changed the subject and talked for a while before we both decided to head back to our houses.
We agreed to meet up again tomorrow night.
Cause to tomorrow were staging the fight.
I quickly get back into my house and make it to my room.
I quickly slip into my night time clothes, set my wand on the desk by my bed and lay down in bed.
It'll take me a while to get to sleep after everything I've learned tonight.
Dragons. I still can't believe the first task has something to do with dragons.
I shouldn't be surprised. This is the Triwizard Tournament. These tasks are supposed to be extremely dangerous.
Hopefully things will turn out for the best. After a while my eyes closed and I finally drifted off to sleep.
