The second task

Harry stared into the ground at the Headmaster. Even if he had to put his head back to do it. How did the guy manage to get Severus to go along with this nonsense? Did he even ask him? No certainly not. Severus would have laughed at him.
The rest of the champions looked just as angry at the old man.
"A cheek," grumbled Victor.
Fleur and Michael cursed in French. especially the cute half veela was about to switch to her fury mode.
Madame Maxime wanted to reassure the teenagers.
"It's not that bad, nothing happens to any of your friends or family members."
"It's not about that," Cedric cursed. The young man wasn't nice anymore since he found out his girlfriend was being held captive at the bottom of the lake.
“You sent my mother down there. she certainly did not agree. After all, she's afraid of water. ”Melina cursed. She glared at Karkaroff. But he didn't seem to care.
"Severus would never have participated voluntarily. What have you done? him knocked out beaten? ”Harry growled. He had to hold on to Beast otherwise the book would have attacked the old man.
"No, it was all voluntary," the director tried to appease the champions.
"Yeah, about as voluntarily as Harry goes along with all the bullshit here," Victor shot back.
Dumbledore clapped his hands.
“Now that's over. You heard the rules. Each of you has an hour to get the most important person in your life out of the water. ”He looked at Harry for a long time. It had surprised everyone here that Severus Snape meant so much to the boy. the man was even more important to him than his own godfather. Sirius himself didn't seem to mind.
The six stared at the man a little longer. Then they set off.

Harry could clearly feel the looks of Sirius and his friends on his back. Neither of them had believed for a second that Severus had volunteered as bait.
lucius Malfoy was also in the audience. And he also agreed with the young people. He said the old man would be angry about some newspaper articles that appeared after the ball. in one, the headmaster didn't fare well for having passed Harry's idea of ​​the additional champions as his. In another, it was rumored that he was very committed to the hunt for magical beings. something that all champions fought against. The journalist had even expressed concerns about whether it would be dangerous for some of the French students to be at Hogwarts?
And in the Klitterer, among other things, the parents of the Weasleys were denounced. their behavior at the ball hadn't exactly caused a storm of enthusiasm. Mainly because they were publicly drawn over a 14 year old. All because it was a former Malfoy. and finally passed Harry Potter off as their daughter's fiancé.
For all of these reasons, Lucius Malfoy suspected that the old man wanted revenge. but how exactly he did it would probably not be found out until after the end of this task.

Harry went to the edge of the lake and turned a stone into a comfortable chair. He put Beast on his lap. then he took the little Hungarian Horntail figure he had been given on the first assignment and his Quidditch goggles from his pocket.
He cast a magnifying spell on the figure. in the background the boy could hear the audience screaming. No wonder, the figure was now the size of the original. Then he bandaged the dragon's eyes with protective goggles. So he would be able to see what the figure was seeing. then he put another spell on the dragon's mouth. That had given him the most trouble while practicing. At least one should still be able to understand what Harry was saying. And that wasn't that easy with a dragon's mouth.
when he had finished all preparations, he turned to his enchanted dragon.
"Let's go. Get into the water with you. Let's find my dad. And if possible before he destroys the houses of the water people in his anger. I trust him to do that even when he sleeps. "
The dragon bowed its head and went swimming.
Harry put on the goggles and watched the figure walk.
The first thing he noticed was the octopus that was targeting Melina. no wonder, the good woman looked like an octopus herself. Somehow she reminded him of a certain character from the cartoon with the mermaid. The girl from Durmstrang, however, was much prettier.
Harry ordered the dragon to save his companion from the sea monster's advances.
Melina grinned at the dragon.
"When I heard of the dangers lurking in this lake, I never thought that I should worry about my virtue."
Harry and his dragon started laughing.
"I would be curious about the boys of you two.he said.
“Hey, I'm 17. I don't think about getting married or having children. At least not yet. "
The Harry dragon nodded.
“Swim ahead. I have a problem here right now. "
Melina gave her new friend a startled look.
"Do you need help?"
"No thanks. I'll cope with that. See you later."
"Well, well, if you say so." With that, the young woman swam on.
