"Harry, do you by any chance know how to summon your broomstick?" Elizabeth asked, lifting her head to look at Harry who was already looking at her, he shook his head.

"Well, since we technically can use our wands for the task they never said we can't use things to help us win the task..." she mentioned, getting Harry full attention "Just say accio firebolt and your broom will come to you" she said, crossing her legs, Elizabeth knew that she shouldn't help Harry out but she saw how nervous he was.

A whistle blew, that it was Harry's turn, he got up from his seat and took a deep breath in before walking to where all the champions went through "Good luck Harry!" Elizabeth called out, he turned around and gave her a nod with a soft smile before walking out.

Elizabeth was walking back and forth the room before she heard Harry yell the spell she told him earlier, she smiled 'good thing he used it' she thought as she waited for her turn, time went by that she layed on one of the beds and stared up at the ceiling.

She heard the whistle blow, she got up from the bed and walked towards the entrance of the arena, she took a breath in and tried to calm her nerves down and walked out onto the arena. The Horntail, crouched low over her egg, wings half-furled, yellow evil eyes upon her.

Elizabeth looked at the crowd, seeing her friends standing out their way with large supportive banners, that she saw both her moms also holding some. She chuckled before turning her attention back to the Horntail.

The whistle blew, she quickly held onto her wand, as she dashed to the side and it quickly alarmed the spiked tail dragon, its eyes following her pattern. Some people in the audience were dumbfounded by her stupid move or gasping.

"Oh god I can't see this" Sirius said, covering his eyes but Remus quickly removed his husband's hand out of his face "Sirius, if you do that, you'll miss Elizabeth capturing the egg" Remus said, before returning his attention back to the dragon and Elizabeth.

"One thing for sure, your daughter is going to get herself caught for the stupid move she made" James mentioned in a hush voice but got pinched by Lily "I don't think what she did was stupid, yes reckless but their has to be a reason why she did that move" Lily said, giving James a look and he just nodded.

Maybe Lily was right because Elizabeth was out of everyone's sight, that not even the spectators or Horntail couldn't spot her "Where did she go?" Dumbledore said, she couldn't have just vanished, was he perhaps distracted.

Elizabeth didn't make a stupid move but a move that would give her an advantage to get the egg, while the audience and the spectators watched her doing the same pattern, thinking she was out of options but in reality she was searching for a certain spot while she kept the dragon busy on her.

"Did she just vanish?!" Sirius asked, as he tried looking for Elizabeth in the arena "Not vanish but hiding to be exact" A voice spoke up a few seats away from Sirius, he turned the voice and saw it was one of Elizabeth's friends.

"What do you mean Ethan?" Blake asked, as the crowd murmured since they couldn't see where Elizabeth was hiding "She wasn't put on the quidditch team for nothing, she might be fast on her broom but Beth always had amazing ideas, why do you think Wood always asked her about the game plans he made" Ethan explained, that it made sense to the others, Wood wasn't romantically into Elizabeth but rather admire Elizabeth for the game plans she came up with.

"That explains why we sometimes can never spot her in the games but only see her making a point the next second" Reggie mentioned, Chloe and Sidney were surprised at what Ethan mentioned because it was true but they were barely noticing it.

"Plus she's very quick on her feet when she wants to be, why do you think she never gets caught doing pranks alone" Ethan mentioned, a smile on his face when he remembered Elizabeth ranting to him how she was able to outrun Snape and Flinch when she set fireworks in Snape classroom. She was happy that it brought a warm feeling to Ethan's chest.
