Chapter 100: Interesting (1/2)

Chris, Ginny and Colin sat down to Gryffindor table with Harry and Hermione.

”Where's is Luna?” Chris asked.

”She just went to a walk with Shawn.” Ginny replied.

”Hmm..” Chris said absent-mindedly as he looked for Cedric at the Hufflepuff table.

”Chris who're you looking for?” Harry asked.

”Cedric. I've something to tell you both.” Chris said without looking at Harry. ”Oh! He's not at the Hufflepuff table.”

”Why?” Hermione asked surprised.

”Because it's right thing to do Hermione. Just because I'm Gryffindor I can't take side with Harry.” Chris replied looking at her.

”Taking sides? What're you talking about Chris? Is it something about the tournament?” Harry said looking tensed

”Yup.” Chris nodded and finished her breakfast hurriedly. ”Now I need to find Cedric.”

She looked around and saw Irena eating breakfast with her friends. Unlike the other Hufflepuffs Irena and Melvin were never taunting Harry and Chris; Melvin was kind of heartbroken after reading Rita Skeeter's article but Irena was talking normally with Chris in their ancient runes classes.

”Irena!” Chris called and Irene and her few friends looked at her. Irena looked surprised and few of her friends looked at her nastily. Chris ignored them, ”Irena do you know where Cedric is? I need to talk to him.”

Before Irena can answer, a Hufflepuff girl said, ”Why? What do you want from him?”

Chris wasn't really in the mood of an argue.

”I don't think I need to explain that to you, unless you're his Gurdian Angel.” Chris said rolling her eyes.

Few students laughed. The girl went pink.

”Hey, maybe she is asking for another interview of our Cedric.” A boy said from the Hufflepuff table. ”She really wrote nice about him in her last article. Haven't you seen the Quibbler or what?”

”Yeah but I've also seen the Daily Prophet article. Don't you know she's Harry Potter's girlfriend.” The girl snapped.

And the argument continued, few Gryffindors also joined the chaos.

”This is hopeless. I'll find Cedric on my own.” Chris said getting up. ”Harry, you're coming with me.”

Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Colin who were watching the argument, suddenly came back to life.

”... er.... yes.” Harry replied getting up as well.

”Ginny, Colin go to library with Hermione. We'll meet you there in a bit.” Chris said.

”Why library?” Colin asked.

”I'll tell you there.” Chris said and left the Great Hall with Harry, when Theodore passed them.

”Hey Chris! I saw Diggory some time ago. He was going towards the lake.” Theodore said grinning and walked away.

”What was that? Why did he helped us?” Harry said surprised.

”Because someone asked him to.” Chris said and looked around. 'Typical Fawley thing. Wants to help without hurting his own ego. If you're stubborn that much then I'm not going to leave my self-respect either. You shut me so you've to come back.. I'll not go after you.'

”Chris!” Harry shook Chris.

”Yeah?” Chris came back from her thoughts.

”Let's go.” Harry said.

”Yes let's go.” Chris said shaking those thoughts out her mind.

Cedric was practicing some spells near the lake alone, as he noticed Chris and Harry approaching he stopped.

”Hi,” said Cedric, as they came in front of him.

”Cedric I know what the first task is.” Chris said without waiting.

”What?” said Cedric and Harry at the same time, shocked.

”Yes. It's Dragons.” Chris said seriously.

”You're kidding.” Harry said and tried to smile but looking at Chris's serious face he stopped. ”You're kidding, right? You can't be serious.”

”What do you think Cedric? Am I kidding?” Chris turned to Cedric.

Cedric stared at her for few moments then a panic flickered in his gray eyes.

And noticing this Harry's mouth fell open.

The boys looked at each other and Harry almost lost his ballanced. Cedric catched him.

”Are you sure?” Cedric said in a hushed voice.

”I saw them. Four Dragons. One for each champion.” Chris said so seriously that Cedric and Harry looked more scared.

”But what we've to do with them? They're Dragons... they're going to kill us.” Harry said finally getting his strength back.
