Chapter 3: The First Task And First Bit Of Heartbreak

Chapter 4

(Destiny's POV)

The next morning I woke up about quarter to 6 and panic hit me. It took me about 5 minutes to get out of bed, and then I was straight to work on getting ready. The task didn't start until half 11 so we had a lesson first but still, I get very organized when I get scared. I picked out a fresh pair of skinnies, my Nirvana 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' tee, my brand new lime-green Converses and a pale pink beanie, after straightening my hair. I shoved on some makeup, and set to work on my bag. I shoved in my Potions book, a quill, some ink, my wand and some parchment. The essentials for a lesson. Then I grabbed a bottle of PowerAde and a bag of Maoam Pinballs from my drawer. There's a knock on the dorm door, and as I turn to get it I see Hermione walk over to it ,still half-asleep. She opens it and mumbles 'What d'you want?' I catch a glimpse of a black head and 3 red heads of hair. 'Mione, let them in and go back to sleep for a bit hun.' She turned to me, her eyes narrowed. 'Okay mum! Oh, and thanks for waking me up nearly an hour ago!' The boys sniggered as they walked in and I walked over to her and hugged her. 'Oh, I'm sorry Hermione. I'm genuinely sorry! You know what I get like when I'm scared!' She sighed and walked over to the bathroom. 'I guess I better get dressed now then.' I nodded and gestured for Harry to sit on my bed. 'Are you scared, Haz?' I asked seriously. He just shrugged and said 'I guess I'm not as scared as I thought I'd be so,.... No. Not really.' I sighed and pulled him into a hug. 'Just be careful ,okay? I can't afford to lose you. And you'll probably end up more popular than ever, so when it comes to girls please remember we're only 14? And no girl will ever be approved by your sister, minus 2 or 3.' At this point Hermione came out and Ron ran over to the door saying 'Now lets go eat, I'm absolutely-' 'Hank Marvin?' I put in politely. The twins turned to me, Fred grabbing my hand 'Who's Hank?' Hermione laughed and a smile broke out on my face. 'Muggle thing!' Mione giggled and we walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

After Potions, me, the twins, Ginny, Hermione and Ron made our way down to the arena for the first task. I'm clutching onto Fred, shaking as we take our seats. Hermione suddenly jumps up and says 'I'm gonna go see if Harry's okay! Destiny, Ginny, coming?' I shake my head and mouth the word 'Cedric' and Ginny, stroking my arms, says 'I'm gonna stay here and keep an eye on Destiny.' Hermione nods and walks down the stairs to the tent.

After a while, Hermione walks back and sits in front of me. 'Harry said you need to calm down a bit, Destiny.' Fred just scoffed. 'And he actually expects Destiny to be able to do that when-' But the rest of his speech was cut off as Viktor Krum came out to fight his dragon. Cedric was next, and my heart leaped when I saw him. I did miss Cedric, but I love Fred, don't I? Fleur did amazing, being the only girl and all, and then Harry walked out. I felt someone ram a hat on my head, so I know my hair's gone white. For about 5 minutes I'm huddled into Ginny's shoulder before there's a huge gasp and I turn around. I really shouldn't of because I see Harry fly away on his Firebolt, and the dragon take off after him! Before I even think about what I'm doing, I stand up and shout 'Go on Harry! I believe in you, bro!' I sit back down, and he dives and grabs the egg. Me, Hermione and Ginny all scream and hugs each other excitedly. I run down to the medical tent just as Harry walks out, and knock him over in a hug. 'Alright! I need to live to the second task, you know!' He laughs, but I'm too happy to care. We walk back up to the castle, with no doubt there'll be a party waiting.

When we get back up to the common room, music blasts out and the twins run over to us. Fred gives me a weird, strained sort of smile as him and George put Harry on their shoulders and walk to the middle of the room. Everything goes quiet as Harry opens the egg, but all we hear is a high-pitched squeal that sounds like me when I see Son of Dork on the TV. Harry closes it quickly and everyone starts talking again. I sit with Mione and Ginny for about half an hour until Harry and they decide to call it a night. I can't find Fred, so I go and chat to Lee Jordan instead. We all hear a very Angelina Johnson-like giggle, but Lee and George are standing in a position where I can't see what she's giggling at. Just as I push through, Fred and Angelina lock lips in a way to romantic to be her fault.

Tears immedietly form in my eyes and I push through the crowd towards the door and leave. I run down the stairs and as I reach the Enterance Hall, I run into someone. I t was Blaise Zambini. I just stare at him, trying to think of what to say but then he pulls me into a hug. I know that seems weird to the untrained eyes, but me and Blaise have always been chummy. I've known Blaise since we were 6 and I convinsed Aunt Petunia to let me go to dance class. When I walked into street dance for the first time, the teacher paired me with a sweet looking boy with a funny name. After that we were friends. 'So, um, are you gonna tell me what wrong, or do you wanna stand here forever?' Blaise smiled, breaking away.

I sat down on the bottom of the stairs. 'Blaise you know you give good hugs but I kinda need you to do me a favour?' I sniffled. He nodded. 'You're Slytherin, right?' He nodded again. 'Can you go and find Draco for me? Draco Malfoy?' He looked a little stuned at this, but still agreed. 'Uh, yeah, sure. Just wait there a sec!' And he began to run down to the dungeons. I pulled a mirror out of my bag and began trying to sort my makeup out. 'What a douche,' I whispered to the empty Enterance Hall. 'And I was stupid enough to believe he loved me.'
