Contrariorum [TOMARRY]

I'm feeling pretty directly hurt

I'm back!!

Ludo Bagman was the one assigned to both inform them of the first task and make sure everyone chose a dragon. This meant that the man quickly told them they'd be stealing an egg from dragons forgetting to inform that these dragons had actually been missing their children for days now, then he grabbed a bag and told them to grab a random dragon.

Cedric got the first one, a Swedish-short-snout; Fleur got number two, a common Welsh Green; then of course Viktor got number three, the Chinese Fireball.

Leaving Harrison with the aggressive Hungarian Horntail, he wasn't exactly worried, but it did mean that it might be a bit harder to calm the dragon down somewhat, as he wanted to do.

He was at least glad that Cedric got the Swedish-short-snout, the dragon he had calmed down somewhat already.

Harrison could feel the nerves in the Champions tent, as he walked around wondering how he was going to make a Hungarian Horntail listen to him.

It was a challenge at least.

"You've got a tough one." Cedric said as he sat down next to Harrison.

Harrison shrugged, "It's fine, dragon's a dragon." He smiled at the Hufflepuff, "You doing okay with the nerves?"

"I'm just glad it'll be over for me before I can see how bad it could be with others." Cedric admitted, "I have no idea what to expect and while usually I wouldn't say that's positive, perse, I think it will help me with the nerves in this case."

"I'm sure you'll be fine." Harrison answered, "Remember the back-up spell?"

"Yeah, yeah." Cedric nodded, "I'm going to try to not just forcefully knock-out a dragon like that, though."

"I was hoping you'd say that." He watched Cedric nervously tapping his fingers on his legs and knew that it would only get worse in the next five minutes of preparation time. "You know Godric used to try to get me to ride different animals, like Hippogriffs."

"What?" Cedric asked.

"Yeah, it was absolutely insane he'd just put me on top of them and let them soar through the sky. None of the others approved, of course, although I'm pretty damn sure Rowena used me in some sort of animal study without telling."

Cedric snorted softly, "Let me guess Salazar cursed the hell out of him?"

"Actually I think that is when he came up with some of his very creative poison recipes." Harrison answered and Cedric laughed.

"Of course he did." He said, voice filled with amusement, he didn't even notice he stopped tapping his fingers.

"I don't think the founders were meant to raise one child on a personal level together, they all have such different opinions on everything, it's what made them so great at teaching and magic, but raising a child? That's a whole different league."

"You turned out fine though," Cedric said.

"Now I would almost call that a compliment." Harrison replied and Cedric just shook his head with a smile, when suddenly someone started talking to the crowds just outside the tent.

"I guess that's my cue." Cedric sighed.

"Goodluck," Harrison said, "You'll be fine."

Harrison followed just slightly behind Cedric, so that he could stand at the exit of the tent watching Cedric's first task.

At first he didn't fully understand what Cedric was doing, seeing as the dragon spotted him immediately, but Cedric stayed still behind a rock.

But then Harrison slowly saw Cedric moving his wand in a certain motion, a spell hitting one of the rocks on the other side of the arena just a few seconds later, turning the rock into an animal. The dragons head snapped around to look at the dog now lunging for the dragons eggs, the real ones.
