Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Eventually it was time for the first task, Adrian had found out what it was thanks to Hagrid. He told Harry and Cedric about it as he thought that they were the only ones who didn't know. He was currently sitting in the tent with the other champions.

Adrian knew that this task would be watched with following mirrors, mirrors that Padfoot, Prongs and Lily were working on before Voldemort had attacked. They worked just like two way mirrors, except these small mirrors were designed to fly and become invisible while also being indestructible. It was a great way to make sure that everyone could properly watch the task, in fact Remus was in charge of running the business that sold them. The werewolf was glad to have work and the family made some money from it.

Cedric looked pale, Fleur looked nervous, so did Krum even though he did a good job at hiding it. Adrian was pacing, he looked at Harry who was sitting calmly with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

"Aren't you nervous?" Adrian asked Harry

"Just take a big breath brother" Harry replied

"What are you? A hippy?"

"No, but I hear that they get discounts on weed so I'm considering becoming one. Now shut your mouth, stop your walking and take a big breath." Adrian glared at Harry for a second before doing what he was told.

Soon they each went out for their task, when it was Adrian's turn he slowly walked out when he hid behind a rock. He looked, his dragon appeared to have fallen sleep. He slowly aimed his wand at the golden egg

"Accio golden egg" He said and the egg flew to his wand. Adrian was amazed! It turns out that Harry was right, they wouldn't think of something as simple as that. The judges looked a bit embarrassed that they forgot something as simple as that, nobody in the crowd cheered, apart from the Potters and co who had decided to come and watch.

Next it was Harry's turn, he walked out of there, he was going to go for the same strategy as his brother. He hid behind a rock and looked over at his dragon, a Hungarian horntail, it was looking around wildly.

He quickly scanned the crowd when he found Daphne and Rose sitting next to his family, he also noticed a few large mirrors randomly placed, probably for the flying mirrors.

The crowd watched in horror and shock as the chains that held the dragon in place broke and the horntail flew into the air, it fired a hot blast of fire at Harry who ran to get clear of it. Harry stopped, he waved his wand over himself then held it up in the air. The horntail fired again, this time it's flames engulfed Harry, causing widespread panic.

"Harry!" Lily screamed

"Sweet Merlin!" Ludo shouted into the magical microphone

"Lily duck!" James shouted as he pulled his wife down, just in time to avoid a broomstick that flew straight into the flames. A second later, Harry Potter flew out of the flames on his broomstick, not looking like he had just been hit by dragon fire.

"I'm guessing I can't convince you to hand over the egg" Harry said just before dodging another flame blast, Harry flew up, up and away. The horntail gave chase and followed right after him. The flying mirrors also followed, allowing the crowd to continue watching.

The horntail snapped at his heels so Harry speeded up to create some distance between himself and the flying reptile behind him. The horntail had decided that, since he was no longer within biting distance, to blast him. It fired off a fire blast, Harry ascended up and the blast flew underneath him.

Harry constantly dodged blasts of fame from the highly aggressive dragon as he flew towards the castle, Harry had just narrowly avoided getting his broomstick burnt when he stopped right in front of a window that belonged to Dumbledore's office.

With a grin, Harry stopped right in front of the window. He aimed his wand at the dragon and fired some flares at its face, the dragon charged and tried to snap it's jaws with Harry in-between. Harry dodged at the last minute and the dragon crashed headfirst into Dumbledore's office.

"You know" Harry said from his position on the broomstick "I honestly don't know what would upset the old man worse, ruining his office or the fact that his precious muggle sweets are currently crushed under your chin" This pulled some laughter out of the crowd and some internal cursing from Dumbledore.

"Oh shit" Harry said as the horntail pulled its head out, Harry flew up into the sky with the horntail following him. It was a dark day, with lots of clouds. The dragon and the mirrors followed up, but couldn't find Harry as he disappeared into the clouds.
