Chapter 103: Hungary Horntail (2/2)
Chris turned around and found none other than Jason Fawley.
”You ok?” He asked looking worried.
”Why do you care?” Chris snapped. ”Last time I checked you were yelling at me for being worried.”
”You were wrong that time.” Jason replied.
”Right. And what about you?” Chris asked raising an eyebrow.
”I just saved a dozen of beasts for you.” He said.
”If you've so much problem with me then why did you come to help?” Chris said angrily. ”I didn't need your help there.”
”Sure.” Jason replied rolling his eyes. ”She just attacked you and you couldn't restrain yourself from saving her eggs. Great. What're you made of, Norton?”
”Just because she tried to burn me, doesn't mean I'll let her children die. It wasn't there fault and also we don't know why she attacked me.” Chris said seriously. ”So without knowing her side, I can't assume she's bad. That's how I see things. But I don't think you'll understand that Fawley.”
Jason was about to say something but the teachers came hurrying through the crowd,
”Norton! Weasley! Creevey! You all okay?” Professor McGonagall asked.
Chris, Ginny and Colin nodded.
”Jason, You're alright?” Snape asked.
Jason curtly nodded and walked away with Snape, giving a side glance towards Chris.
”Miss Lovegood!” Professor Flitwik came.
”I'm fine Professor.” Luna replied.
”Good but all of you to the first aid tent, Now.” Professor McGonagall said.
All of them followed her. Chris saw people staring at her, she just shrugged and walked into the first aid tent.
As they entered Chris saw Hermione and Ron standing in front of Harry. Chris knew Hermione almost ran out of the stands when Harry caught the egg but Ron?
”No,” said Ron, ”I shouldn't've —”
”Forget it,” Harry said.
Ron grinned nervously at him, and Harry grinned back.
Hermione burst into tears.
”There's nothing to cry about!” Harry told her, bewildered.
And she pulled the boys into a big hug. Madam Pomfrey came.
”Who's injured? Who's burned? Tell me right away.” Madam Pomfrey asked.
”We're fine Madam Pomfrey.” Ginny replied.
”I'll decide that sit here.” She said as she checked them one by one.
Harry, Ron and Hermione went outside to see Harry's score.
”Alright, you're physically fine. Are you all sure you're mentally fine too?” She asked. ”You were attacked by a Dragon.”
All of them nodded.
Cedric came out from a cubicle. One side of his face was covered in a thick orange paste, which was presumably mending his burn. He grinned at Chris.
”I went out, when I heard different screams.” He said. ”Saw what you did there.”
Chris rolled her eyes. ”Me too.”
”Yeah that was wicked Chris?” Ron said coming in.
”Thanks.” Chris said, as she remembered Ron had no memory of what he said that night.
”And yes they're calling you Cedric, at the champions tent.” Ron said.
Cedric nodded and left the tent.
”But I didn't understand what actually happened there?” Colin said. ”One second I was standing there and next second as I moved, there was a Dragon breathing fire.”
”We didn't understand either. If Chris haven't used her quick reflexes we would've been roasted.” Luna said.
”True. I was almost dead.” Ginny said.
”Ok ok. I got it. You all love me.” Chris said chuckling. ”The Dragon got a little annoyed of us that's all.”
All of them smiled. The tension finally defused.
”Hey what are the scores? Did Harry won?” Colin asked to Ron.
”Yeah he's tied in first place, Harry and Krum!” Ron grinned. ”Only because that biased scumbag, Karkaroff gave Harry four.”
”Four are you serious? How could he?” Ginny asked angrily.
”He did that intentionally to make it a tie between his student Krum and Harry.” Chris replied. ”There is no surprise as he always favors his students.”
Charlie Weasley hurriedly came into the tent.
”Ginny! Are you ok? Chris?” He said breathlessly.
”We're fine Charlie.” Ginny said with a sigh. ”How many times I've to say this.”
”Is the Horntail ok Charlie?” Chris asked.
”Yeah... yes...” Charlie said slightly surprised. ”She was acting all weird suddenly, don't know what gotten into her. But what you did there Chris.... it's was marvelous. Even years trained wizards have difficulties to do so.”
”You owe me this one Charlie Weasley.” Chris said rolling her eyes. ”It was your job to fix it.”
”I know..... I know.... and really thanks for that.” Charlie grinned.
And that's when it hit her, Malgino also defeated two Dragons in her dream. 'Did I just completed a dream quest or something?'
