Your POV
I was wearing a long sleeve team Gryffindor shirt that had my last name printed on the back, I wore black leggings so I would be able to move around better for my first task today. I hadn't seen Neville since we kissed last night, it worried me that he might have decided that with the situation with my parents I wasn't worth the trouble. I felt a pang in my chest at the thought, but honestly I'm not worth it why would I be.
"Ptsss" I heard a noise from behind the material of the tent.
"Y/n?" I heard the voice again.
"Neville? What are you doing here?" I whispered back.
"I needed to see you, how are you feeling?" He asked.
"A bit nervous if I'm being honest" I replied touching the tent wanting to see him.
Neville pushed the material out of the way and hugged me quickly. We both noticed a bright flash before looking in the direction it came from and saw Rita Skeeter.
"Young love, how...convenient" She thought before finishing her sentence.
What does she mean convenient
Krum came over and told her off for being in the champions tent.
"No mind, I got what I needed" She winked at me before leaving.
I turned back to Neville.
"I just wanted to wish you luck and to be careful" He said softly.
"Aww you're so sweet" I kissed his cheek giggling lightly at the pink that powdered his cheeks. Soon it was time to choose our dragons.
Krum went first.
"Chinese Fireball". Next was Cedric.
"Swedish Short-snout". Then Fleur
"Common Welsh Green". Then Harry
"Hungarian Horntail". Then left me.
"Ukrainian Ironbelly the largest of the dragon species" I stare at the dragons multiple large sharp talons as we were told about the first task.
Dumbledore looked at me.
"Y/n since you have your powers it sets the others at a disadvantage, so we have a spell to block you from using them until the end of the task" He said and I nod.
"Fair enough" I replied.
"Hold out you hands" He instructed. I did as I was told. Dumbledore pointed his wand at my hands.
"Auferat tela potentia" Dumbledore chanted three time. Suddenly my veins were pulsing with a silver glow. I tried to use all my powers but the only reaction I had was a blip of the silver in my veins, it felt like there was a piece of me missing.
Krum was the first person to do the task. I watched Harry, Cedric and Fleur preparing for their task. I stared at my hands thinking about everything.
Harry came over and crouched in front of me.
"Hey how are you feeling?" He asked.
"It's weird not having my powers. I feel different in myself like part of me is missing" I told him. He held my hands.
"It's okay you'll have them back after the task" I nod. Fleur walked back in with the Golden egg and her skirt smoking where the dragon set it on fire. Harry was up now. I hugged him.
"Good luck" I said before letting him go.
I pulled out a book of defensive spells Hermione gave me. Soon Harry came back with his egg and a fair few cuts and scrapes.
"Good luck Y/n and use your wand" He hugged me.
I took a deep breath and stepped out from the caved entry, I saw the massive dragon on my left facing away from me. I saw the egg and took my chance to try and sneak over, I managed to get a few meters but that didn't last long when my foot slipped on the rocks making a loud noise. I grimace at the mistake turning around to see the dragon looking at me only feet away. I see orange in the back of its throat realising it's about to blow fire at me I ran to the side ducking behind a large rock as I feel the heat from the flames. I hear everyone watching gasp and scream. When it stopped I peaked out but didn't see the dragon I decided to run for the egg again this time the dragon whacked me with its tail. I hit a rock with a scream a gash across my stomach from the talons started bleeding. I forced myself to stand dispite my painful injuries, I hear Hermione and Neville yelling for me to use my wand. I aim my wand at it.
"CONFUNDUS" I yelled at the approaching danger. The dragon looked around as if it didn't know what was happening. I quickly spin around looking for the egg, when I spotted it I ran for it doing multiple parkour tricks to get there quicker. I was just a meter away when I was knocked out of the way by the dragons huge leg then flung vertically 40 feet in the air hearing a crack along with burning pain from the impact to my ribs, this caused me to drop my wand. I panicked trying to grab it in the air as I started falling. I heard screaming and got a glimpse of teachers standing with their wands out. I only just managed to get hold of my wand. I pointed it at myself.
"ARESTO MOMENTUM" I yelled hoping it would work. I was suddenly falling much slower but I still hit the ground pretty hard. I saw Neville hiding his face not wanting to see me hurt. The dragon blew more flames at me.
"PROTEGO" I yell again knowing full well most people even in the ministry can't cast a shield charm but it was the closest thing to my forcefields that I could think of. The spell to my and everyone in the crowds amazement worked. I took the chance to dive grabbing the egg finally, the dragon backed off and my friends along with Dumbledore and a few other teachers made their way down to heal me. I fall to my knees holding my injuries. Dumbledore asked Neville and Harry to help me to the hospital wing.
"Can I get my powers back, I can heal myself" I informed him and he point the wand at me reversing the spell.
I put my hand on my stomach and ribs healing my major injuries. I stand up feeling much better.
I was allowed to go back to the Gryffindor common room with everyone, Neville just held me close the whole time. Soon everyone encouraged Harry to open the egg to which he complied. Soon as it was opened everyone covered their ears and Harry finally got it closed. I looked at everyone confused by their reaction to the singing voices.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked.
"Mermaids" I replied and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
"Loud screeching doesn't automatically mean mermaids" Hermione stated.
"Well then we were hearing different things because it was mermaids singing what the clue is" I informed.
