Soon it was time for the first task. Hermione sat in the stands, holding up a sign saying support all three of the real champions. The tasks turned out amazing. Cedric Diggory distracted the dragon, a Swedish Short Snout, with a transfigured dog. Unfortunately, he was burnt as he ran back with the golden egg that the champions were supposed to take. Fleur lulled the dragon to sleep with her Veela charm since she was half veela, but her skirt got burnt by the dragon's snore. Viktor shot a conjunctivitis curse at the dragon and snatched the egg, but the dragon trampled a lot of the real eggs. Hermione thought it was cruel, since there were actual babies in those. Potter just flew around the dragon, but still got the highest marks.
