Capítulo 103: Hungary Horntail
"One down, three to go!" Bagman yelled as the whistle blew again. "Miss Delacour, if you please!"
The Dragons keeper woke up a Welsh Green. Fleur Delacour entered the fence and the Beauxbatons girls cheered, many Hogwarts boys cheered loudly too.
As soon as the Dragon saw her, she pointed her wand towards the Dragon and did something. The Dragon fell asleep in few minutes. Fleur started to walk slowly towards the Dragon.
"Oh I'm not sure that was wise!" Bagman's voice echoed.
She was almost there when the Dragon snored and great jet of flame shot out, Fleur stumbled back but her skirt caught fire.
"Oh … nearly! Careful now … good lord, I thought she'd had it then!"
Fleur put the fire of with some water from her wand then after walking back and forth, almost for twenty minutes, she got the egg.
The crowd cheered.
The judges gave score,
Madame Maxime 9
Mr Crouch 7
Dumbledore 7
Bagman 8
Karkaroff 4
Total 35
As the Dragon keepers taking the Welsh Green out, it was trying to break free, even in her sleep. Which was sort of odd. Next came the Chinese Fireball.
"And here comes Mr. Krum!" cried Bagman.
Chris sighed, "So Harry got the Hungarian Horntail. Harry is officially the most unlucky person I've ever met."
Victor Krum emerged, ran towards the Dragon and casted a spell on the Dragon's eye.
"Very daring!" Bagman was yelling, as the Chinese Fireball emit a horrible, roaring shriek, while the crowd cheered, but Chris didn't.
"You freaking idiot." Chris yelled. "Who does that kind if thing."
Ginny grabbed Chris, as the Dragon started to get disballanced. Krum took the egg and ran as the Dragon went trampling around in agony and squashed half the real eggs.
"That's some nerve he's showing — and — yes, he's got the egg!" Bagman said.
"Nerve? I'll show him what is nerve. When I'll blow his nose and eyes off his face." Chris screamed angrily. "How dare he?"
"Calm down Chris. Calm down." Luna said to Chris. As she and Ginny hold Chris from getting up, the scores flashed.
Madame Maxime 7
Mr Crouch 6
Dumbledore 8
Bagman 9
Karkaroff 10
"Ten? He's giving him ten when Krum just squashed the actual eggs?" Chris said shocked.
The Chinese Fireball, tried to turn towards the stands in pain, but the Dragon keepers were quick they took out and brought the final one Hungarian Horntail.
The Hungarian Horntail looked more vicious for some reason. Maybe because Harry was going to face it but Chris suddenly felt a little nervous. Dumbledore had given her a task, she needs to complete it. Chris clutched her wand tightly in her hands, just in case anything goes wrong.
The crowd made a great deal of noise, as Harry entered.
Harry raised his wand and shouted something. Chris knew what he was doing but she waited and soon Harry's Firebolt came soaring through the woods and stopped just beside Harry.
"Bravo! Bravo! Everyone see that. Mr Potter just summoned his broom." Bagman roared. "No one thought... no one..."
Harry mounted his broom and kicked off from the ground. He soared upward, then looked down. Then he dived. The Horntail's head followed him; and he pulled out of the dive just in time; a jet of fire had been released exactly where he would have been had he not swerved away.
"Great Scott, he can fly!" yelled Bagman as the crowd shrieked and gasped. "Are you watching this, Mr. Krum?"
Harry soared higher in a circle; the Horntail was still following his progress; Harry plummeted just as the Horntail opened its mouth, but this time he was less lucky — he missed the flames, but the tail came whipping up to meet him instead, and as he swerved to the left, one of the long spikes grazed his shoulder, ripping his robes.
Ginny, Hermione and Luna screamed with the crowd. Chris stood up from her sit.
Harry began to fly again, first this way, then the other, not near enough to make her breathe fire to stave him off, but still posing a sufficient threat to ensure she kept her eyes on him. Her head swayed this way and that, watching him out of those vertical pupils, her fangs bared. …
He flew higher. The Horntail's head rose with him, her neck now stretched to its fullest extent, still swaying, like a snake before its charmer. …
Harry rose a few more feet, and she let out a roar of exasperation.
Chris clutched the wand more tightly.
The Dragon shot fire into the air, which he dodged. … Her jaws opened wide.
And then she reared, spreading her great, black, leathery wings at last, as wide as those of a small airplane — and Harry dived. Before the dragon knew what he had done, or where he had disappeared to, he was speeding toward the ground as fast as he could go, toward the eggs now unprotected by her clawed front legs — he had taken his hands off his Firebolt — he had seized the golden egg —
And with a huge spurt of speed, he was off, he was soaring out over the stands, the heavy egg safely under his uninjured arm.
The crowd roared the loudest. Ginny and Colin jumped out of their sits. Hermione ran out of the stands. Chris sighed and smiled.
"Look at that!" Bagman was yelling. "Will you look at that! Our youngest champion is quickest to get his egg! Well, this is going to shorten the odds on Mr. Potter!"
But suddenly something happened before the Dragon keepers can take care of the Horntail, she was breathing fire everywhere. Harry hurriedly flew to corner as the Horntail turned towards the stands, she flew leaving her eggs, just above the stands. All the judges took out their wands. But Chris realized the Hungarian Horntail was looking at her. She opened her mouth, and Chris pushed her friends aside. Ginny stumbled and the Horntail shot fire exactly towards them.
"Protego." Chris screamed holding her wand up and the a barrier in front of her and Ginny stopped the fire. The crowd screamed as the Horntail shot fire towards the keepers who were trying to get close. Just then the other three Dragons' screeching sounds came, they went out of control too. The Dragon keepers ran towards the other three. Mr Crouch and other judges threw some spells but the Horntail dodged. The teachers were trying to do something but Chris didn't know what and also she didn't have time for it; as the Horntail opened his mouth again, her face is just above her.
"Sorry friend." Chris took a deep breath and, "Stupefy."
She shot it just between her black eyes. The Dragon was stunt, Chris looked down and saw it was about fall on her eggs. She pointed her wand towards the enormous Dragon and tried to hold it in the air, just before she can hit the ground. Everyone was screaming thinking what was she trying to do. No one was helping, all were staring at her and it was getting difficult to hold the Horntail, let alone move her. Then suddenly Chris realized the wait decreased to half, someone was standing beside her holding out his wand just like her. Chris tried to look who it was but she couldn't loose concentration.
"Move her to a little right." Chris said to the person beside her.
The person obeyed and together they moved it to right and put her down slowly. As it touched the ground with a loud thud, there was shocked silence then the crowd applauded. All this happend in one or two minitues.
Chris turned around and found none other than Jason Fawley.
"You ok?" He asked looking worried.
"Why do you care?" Chris snapped. "Last time I checked you were yelling at me for being worried."
"You were wrong that time." Jason replied.
"Right. And what about you?" Chris asked raising an eyebrow.
"I just saved a dozen of beasts for you." He said.
"If you've so much problem with me then why did you come to help?" Chris said angrily. "I didn't need your help there."
"Sure." Jason replied rolling his eyes. "She just attacked you and you couldn't restrain yourself from saving her eggs. Great. What're you made of, Norton?"
"Just because she tried to burn me, doesn't mean I'll let her children die. It wasn't there fault and also we don't know why she attacked me." Chris said seriously. "So without knowing her side, I can't assume she's bad. That's how I see things. But I don't think you'll understand that Fawley."
Jason was about to say something but the teachers came hurrying through the crowd,
"Norton! Weasley! Creevey! You all okay?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Chris, Ginny and Colin nodded.
"Jason, You're alright?" Snape asked.
Jason curtly nodded and walked away with Snape, giving a side glance towards Chris.
"Miss Lovegood!" Professor Flitwik came.
"I'm fine Professor." Luna replied.
"Good but all of you to the first aid tent, Now." Professor McGonagall said.
All of them followed her. Chris saw people staring at her, she just shrugged and walked into the first aid tent.
As they entered Chris saw Hermione and Ron standing in front of Harry. Chris knew Hermione almost ran out of the stands when Harry caught the egg but Ron?
"No," said Ron, "I shouldn't've —"
"Forget it," Harry said.
Ron grinned nervously at him, and Harry grinned back.
Hermione burst into tears.
"There's nothing to cry about!" Harry told her, bewildered.
And she pulled the boys into a big hug. Madam Pomfrey came.
"Who's injured? Who's burned? Tell me right away." Madam Pomfrey asked.
"We're fine Madam Pomfrey." Ginny replied.
"I'll decide that sit here." She said as she checked them one by one.
Harry, Ron and Hermione went outside to see Harry's score.
"Alright, you're physically fine. Are you all sure you're mentally fine too?" She asked. "You were attacked by a Dragon."
All of them nodded.
Cedric came out from a cubicle. One side of his face was covered in a thick orange paste, which was presumably mending his burn. He grinned at Chris.
"I went out, when I heard different screams." He said. "Saw what you did there."
Chris rolled her eyes. "Me too."
"Yeah that was wicked Chris?" Ron said coming in.
"Thanks." Chris said, as she remembered Ron had no memory of what he said that night.
"And yes they're calling you Cedric, at the champions tent." Ron said.
Cedric nodded and left the tent.
"But I didn't understand what actually happened there?" Colin said. "One second I was standing there and next second as I moved, there was a Dragon breathing fire."
"We didn't understand either. If Chris haven't used her quick reflexes we would've been roasted." Luna said.
"True. I was almost dead." Ginny said.
"Ok ok. I got it. You all love me." Chris said chuckling. "The Dragon got a little annoyed of us that's all."
All of them smiled. The tension finally defused.
"Hey what are the scores? Did Harry won?" Colin asked to Ron.
"Yeah he's tied in first place, Harry and Krum!" Ron grinned. "Only because that biased scumbag, Karkaroff gave Harry four."
"Four are you serious? How could he?" Ginny asked angrily.
"He did that intentionally to make it a tie between his student Krum and Harry." Chris replied. "There is no surprise as he always favors his students."
Charlie Weasley hurriedly came into the tent.
"Ginny! Are you ok? Chris?" He said breathlessly.
"We're fine Charlie." Ginny said with a sigh. "How many times I've to say this."
"Is the Horntail ok Charlie?" Chris asked.
"Yeah... yes..." Charlie said slightly surprised. "She was acting all weird suddenly, don't know what gotten into her. But what you did there Chris.... it's was marvelous. Even years trained wizards have difficulties to do so."
"You owe me this one Charlie Weasley." Chris said rolling her eyes. "It was your job to fix it."
"I know..... I know.... and really thanks for that." Charlie grinned.
And that's when it hit her, Malgino also defeated two Dragons in her dream. 'Did I just completed a dream quest or something?'
