Harry was awoken by Otiz poking his cheek which didn't please him and so rolled over and away from the familiar only to come in contact with a bucket of freezing cold water that appeared to be charmed to soak him if he rolled over.

"You jerk Otiz!" screamed Harry bolting up straight coughing.

"Well I've spent thirty minutes trying to wake you Hadrian and you wouldn't so I resorted to this measure, you're welcome by the way you've miss breakfast and you need to be in that damn tournament tent in twenty minutes, I also bring breakfast" he smiled at Harry as he got up muttering about familiars and them being mean.

He went to get a shower a warm one this time as Otiz ate his breakfast after giving Draco his same with Coco who happily ate while waiting for Harry.

He soon came out in his uniform hair slightly damp still, he had soon finished his breakfast and soon the four were heading to the tent where the other's were waiting for him.

"Finally you're all here" said Fudge as he looked over Harry and Otiz who was in his animal form carrying Draco and Coco.

"Mr Snape you can't bring in your pets please leave them outside or with your friends they could get hurt" said Bagman.

"He's my familiar Otiz and my friend who got turned into a ferret by accident in potions as well as his familiar the Occamy" said Harry shyly and stepped closer to Otiz holding his fur tightly.

"I  don't want to do this now, I want my dad" in a second Severus was there and hugging him.

Fudge just sighed at it all and then went on about who dangerous it all was.

"Now then you will each pick out of this bag a miniature replica of the dragons that are waiting for you outside of this very tent, we have four dragons, very dangerous dragons I will admit but we have the Dragon Handlers of Romania to help us with them, the task is simple get hold of the golden egg that is in the nest" said Ludo to them making them pale slightly.

"You want us to go out there and get an egg from a nesting mother dragon?! are you insane" said Cedric to them but he was ignored by the adults as Crouch Sr got hold of the bag with the mini dragons in.

Otiz growled as he got close to Harry and the other teens for some reason he didn't trust the adults in the tent.

Fleur went first and put her hand into the bag and pulled out the Welsh Green, then it was Victor's turn pulling out the Chinese Fireball, the Cedric pulling out the Swedish Short Snout dragon lastly it was Harry's turn and he pulled out the Hungarian Horntail the most deadly out of the four, the replicas looked cute and everything but they knew that the real things were dangerous and they could easily lose their lives right at the beginning of the very tournament.

"Dad" he should Severus the dragon and even he paled at what one he had.

((Dragon names are as followed: Swedish Short Snout- Fonniot which means Lady of the Blue, Welsh Green- Daybursun which means Founder of the Daylight, Chinese Fireball- Flaencdra- Queen of the Flame and lastly Hungarian Horntail- Norberta ))

First it was Cedric's turn to face his dragon the Swedish Short Snout yes he was nervous and everything like they all were they were all scared that he was going to get badly hurt or even die which no one wanted.

Harry had curled up on Otiz scared but he had to go through this or he would lose his magic for good, he watched as Cedric leave the tent to cheers and a massive aggressive roar of the dragon that was protecting her eggs and was confused on how she had gotten here.

"I'm going to be ok, I'm going to be ok" said Cedric to himself over and over again he was nervous and he would be until he had gotten that damn golden egg to proceed to the second task.

Cedric looked around and saw a twenty two foot slivery blue mother dragon that was the Swedish Short Snout, it looked like she has about five eggs in her next not including the giant golden egg that he had to get.

"How in Merlin am I meant to get that damn thing without being roasted alive or ending up dad, why did I put my name in the fire? I didn't think I would be chosen and it was kind of a dare to be honest" mumbled Cedric to himself as he slowly got closer and closer to the howling dragon.

She heard him getting closer but she didn't really know what area he was coming from and so started to blast away at the rocks with her bright blue flame hoping to find him, Cedric dodged out of the way just in time.

"Damn that was close, now how to get the egg?" the thought as he hid a bit more trying not to make a sound and then it came to him.

"It needs something to chase but what should it chase for Merlin's sake" he sat for a moment and he soon transfigured a big rock into a dog; a great dane; so then it was big enough to be seen by the dragon.

It barked and ran around to get the dragons attention and it worked she started to chase after it  hoping to eat the stupid thing in her mind.

"Wow that worked better than I thought" and so he crept closer to the next hoping and praying that the dragon wouldn't turn and attack him but that was wishful thinking that went right down the pan as half way to the egg the dragon turned and saw him this sent her into a rage.

if he could understand her she would be saying to get away from her eggs but sadly he couldn't but in the tent Harry jumped at what he heard.

"Otiz I heard that the dragon wanted to be left alone and they don't want us to touch their eggs" said Harry making Otiz change form.

"I did as well but sadly it's the task you have to get the eggs or you forfeit and lose your magic it's simple but dangerous I know but I will protect you either way ok" he kissed Harry's head.

Back with the dragon she was angry as Cedric had gotten closer to her babies and so blasted him away not caring if he got hurt she just wanted him away that was all, she was protecting what was hers why were they letting people near her eggs why?

Cedric miss judged the flame and how powerful it would be and got burned badly, it started to blister but he carried on regardless.

He stumbled to the nest and picked up the egg and bolted as fast as he could back towards the tent the dragon hot on his heels trying to get the egg back not knowing it was fake, Charlie and the other dragon handlers come into action to subdue her and possibly saving Cedric's life at the same time.

He ran into the tent and Poppy came up to him and told him to sit in one of the beds so then she could sort his face out with some of Severus' burn cream he had made extra just for this task alone as he knew his normal amount wouldn't cut it he had made it stronger as well.

"Ow ow that burns Madam Pomfrey but at the same time it's cooling so thank you" said Cedric as she applied the paste to his face in the places it was burnt, it was over half of his face making it look very painful but they knew that with the paste it would be gone by tomorrow at the earliest two day maximum.

"Well Mr Diggory at least you are alive that's what count now you rest and let the paste do its work while the others do their tasks" said Poppy patting his leg and then moving the egg to the night stand there.

....................................................................

 I know it's late and everything but here is the first task or at least Cedric's part, I will be splitting each one up just for this one as it would be easier to focus on each one and how they deal with the dragons

What do you think of their names? nice right I tried to find names that would work for their colouring besides the Horntail as we all know who that is right?

Please look forward to Fleur's task.......
