Some days went by, since Y/N's talk with Lupin, and before he knew it, the 24th November arrived.

Y/N wasn't anxious anymore.
Now, if possible, it was even worse.

He was really scared.

Y/N: What if something goes wrong? THAT THING CAN TURN ME TO ASHES IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE!
he thought, as he walked towards the Great Hall for breakfast.

But it was pointless, anyway.
He didn't feel like eating at the moment.

Just before he could sit down, McGonagall approached him.

McGonagall: Come with me, Potter.
She said.

She led him to a tent, inside the forest, where the other champions were.

Fleur was sitting there, shaking lightly.
As for Cedric and Krum, they were both pacing back and forth.

Y/N was sitting near a wall of the tent, when he heard someone whisper his name.

Hermione: Y/N.
She whispered.

Y/N blinked a few times.
Y/N: Hermione?
He whispered back.

Hermione: How are you feeling?
She asked.
Y/N: Great.
He lied.

Hermione: Oh, Y/N!
She said, opening the tent, and hugging him.

A flash of light suddenly blinded them.
Rita: Look at this beautiful couple!
She said.

Y/N glared daggers at her.
He was fighting with all his might the urge to strangle her.

Krum: You cannot stay here. This is place for champions... And friends.
He said.

Y/N smiled thankfully at him.

Rita: Of course.
She said, as she left, followed by the usual man with the camera.

Y/N let out a sigh.
Y/N: Great. I couldn't risk to have a Magical Outburst right before the task...
He thought.

In that exact moment, Dumbledore got in, followed by Madame Maxime, Karkaroff and Crouch.

Dumbledore: Good Day, champions! Gather round, please.
He said, as they all, together with Hermione, gathered around him.

Dumbledore: Now, you've waited, you've wondered, and at last, the moment has arrived, a moment that only the four of you can fully appreciate-
He said, as his eyes landed on Hermione.

Dumbledore: What are you doing here, Miss Granger?
He asked.

Hermione chuckled awkwardly.
Hermione: Um... Sorry. I'll just... Go.
She said, leaving.

Crouch: Champions, around me, please.
He said, as he held a silk pouch.

Crouch: Now, you will pull one each from the bag.
He said with his usual stern tone.

Crouch: Ladies first.
He said.

Fleur put her hand inside the pouch, and took out a small, perfect model of a Dragon.

A green one.
It had the number two around its neck.

Krum was next.
He pulled out a small red Dragon.
It had the number three around its neck.

Cedric took out a small blue-greyish Dragon.
It had the number one around its neck.

Lastly, Y/N took out a small black Dragon full of spikes and horns.

It had the number four around its neck.

Y/N gulped, as he stared at it.
Y/N: Great, not only is a dragon, but it's even the deadliest among the four! Just my lucky day!
He thought.

Crouch: You'll face them following the order. Good luck.
