BOOM!

The sound of a cannon ball rang through the tent. Harry took a deep breath and calmed himself. He looked up and nodded to Percy, "I'll see you soon."

Percy held out his hand which Harry shook, "good luck Harry." Gryffindor turned and walked out of the tent into the stadium, fearful like a lead ball in the pit of his stomach, but he pushed it down and walked forward.

Percy sat down next to Fleur, who had her eyes closed, focused on gathering her thoughts.

Just then Bagman started announcing, Percy couldn't see Harry completing, but he could hear Bagman narrate it for all.

"Potter steps into the ring, look at that confidence! He's drawn his wand out and uses the...is that the summoning charm? Look at that! Potter just summoned a box and...is that a Firebolt?! Is he planning on doing what I think he's doing?!"

"The dragon is growing restless folks, it's glaring at Potter like it's next meal. Potter on the mean time is...is that a potion? Potter appears to be drinking several potions and...did he just pour something over himself and his broom?"

"Oh look now he's ready, Potters taken off and flying across the air! The dragon lunges-and misses him by an inche! And Potter is...h-he's smiling! Amazing ladies and gentlemen!"

"Harry Potter weaves up, down, around the dragon, and-OH NO! The dragon's flames are- and he's alive! He dove through the flames and came out the other side unharmed! Amazing! Oh, looks like the edges of his robes are a little signed there."

"What's this? Potter's baiting the dragon? It shoots forward and-it misses! Oh no! Looks like Potter's stunt made it angry! It jumped forward to grab him and-it tripped! It's falling down!"

"Oh Merlin! Potter swoops over the dragons fallen form and reaches down and-grabs the egg! He's done it! The youngest champion has got the golden egg! His time is 12 minutes, 10 seconds! Amazing! And now we wait for the judges scoring!"

Percy gave a sigh of relief as he sat back and calmed himself. Fleur stood up as she checked her gear, it was her turn next.

"I know you hate me, but that box will save your life," Percy spoke up no louder than a whisper. But the way Fleur froze up for a second told him he heard it.

She didn't say a thing, instead she just walked out the tent leaving Percy and Krum alone.

"Vhat is it with you and Veelas?" Krum asked in a grunt.

Percy blinked, "what do you mean?"

Krum looked at him from the corner of his eyes, "you know what I mean. The cheerleaders from the finals, that small doll you carry around and now the french champion. Is that your fetish?"

Percy chuckled, "did you just ask me if I wantedly got after women who can turn into giant birds and throw fireballs at me?"

Krum blinked, "...so it's a coincidence?"

Percy shrugged, "who knows. And besides, there's nothing happening between me and her. Not anymore."

Krum grunted, "vhy? Because of a little fight?"

"She's being unreasonable."

"She's a voman. They're all unreasonable. If you truly care for her you vill find a vay."

They waited and sure enough Bagman started speaking again.

Percy was a lot more nervous, he knew Harry would use his potions, but Fleur still hated him.

He hoped his warning made her realise her life mattered more than a fight, and so the moment Bagman announced Fleur also poured a potion over herself he let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed Fleur had a different game plan than Harry's, she wasn't going to move past the dragon, she was going to put it to sleep.

Even from the champion's tent Percy could hear her singing as she tried to bewitch the dragon into a deep slumber.

Percy had to admit it was a good plan, something he would have never come up with. Charms wasn't his forte, but Fleur was something of a master at it.

It seemed that the dragon eventually did fall asleep, but it then snorted out flames that got caught on Fleur's dress.

Luckily it didn't burn thanks to Percy's fire resistance potion, Fleur ran past the sleeping dragon, got the egg and ran away.

Then came Krum's turn, Percy wished him luck, but the seeker didn't seem to need it. He simply nodded his head and walked out the tent.

Percy wanted to listen to Bagman once more, but he was too nervous to pay attention to what was being said.

That feeling of dread took over him once more, he couldn't even think about what he should do, of what could go wrong, of what will go wrong.

He sat there focusing, he had never felt so nervous before, hell he had faced things worse than a dragon before and he never felt scared then!

He literally fought the Titan of evil at one point! Maybe it was the waiting that scared him, the fact that he had to wait for the inevitable battle scared him more than the battle ever did.

Boom!

'It's time,' the demigod knew, 'Poseidon help me.' He turned to the entrance and walked towards the exit.

At the end of the tunnel were two judges, the waved their wands over Percy, checking for any hidden magical item or alterations down to his robes.

"Excuse me sir, but you can't take that thing in with you," one of the officials said pointing at Kelly with his wand.

"No!" Kelly huffed as she tried to hold onto Percy.

"Let go Kelly," Percy said, "I promise I'll come back for you."

Kelly huffed but grumbled and nodded. Percy took her off and gave her to the official. The man nodded and stepped aside letting Percy through. Percy walked past the man and into the arena.

The entire bottom of the quidditch pitch had been turned into a stone platform with large steep slopes going down the sides.

The audience were on the high stands above and Percy could see a big metal ring just below the stands with runes for protection.
