377 There Won't Be Anything But... Krums Left...

Madam Pomfrey "Apply this salve to your burn every night for three days and it'll heal completely.." She quickly says, "Dragons? And dragonfire, a healers bane!" she grumbles to herself as she walks away.

Fleur sits down to rest her still slightly shaking legs and wait for the others to compete, looking to her side she can see the youngest champion Harry Potter with his friend Hermione Granger sitting on his legs. Fleur smiles slightly at seeing this as she herself can feel the tension between the two and she knew it was only a matter of time before it broke.

Krum was wearing his bright red Durmstrang robe over a simple t-s.h.i.+rt and some tracksuit bottoms. The cannon blasts into the air signalling it was time for him to enter the arena, walking inside he immediately drops low and starts scanning the vicinity.

Reima watches as Krum wanders around the arena slowly for a ten minutes before finally spotting the large spiky red beast on the far end of the stadium, he vaguely remembered that Krum would survive this but he wouldn't care much if the guy got eaten either, he didn't strike Reima as the most morally just person ever. Especially with that Death Eater headmaster of his personally tutoring him.

When Krum spots the dragon he immediately ducks behind some rocks and looks to be hyperventilating before slowly composing himself.

Ludo "Looks like Krum's seen the dragon! What'll he do next!" he shouts, causing the red dragon to shoot fire into the air.

Krum closes his eyes and mutters a few things before leaping out of cover and shooting a curse at it's eye. The first one misses and hit's the dragon's cheek but the other managed to score a hit directly in it's eye, causing the great beast to thrash around and destroy many of it's own clutch in the process. Krum sprints past and ducks under a tile swipe before picking up the golden egg and trying to make his way back, only to be knocked over by the dragons tail as it swipes his legs. As he's completed the task and recovered the egg the Dragon Handlers burst onto the scene to subdue the beast before it tries to fly off or something due to it's clutch being destroyed.

Ludo "Krums done it! He's got the eg-OH! THE DRAGON'S BACK FOR REVENGE!" He shouts when he sees Krum get toppled over.

Krum drags himself into Pomfrey's tent and is quickly levitated onto a bed to be checked over.

Pomfrey "My word! Did you try and fight it with your bare hands Mr Krum!" she shouts when she sees his lacerated hands that'd been raked across the floor when he got hit, however these weren't the worst of his injuries.

Krum "M-my leg!" he gets out through his pained grunts.

Pomfrey tears his trousers off and see's a large scale protruding from his thigh, it seems to have broken off of the dragon tail when it hit him... After getting a closer look at it she glances at her patient and says, "You're lucky this didn't hit your knee or you would never walk again."

The other champions watch as Krum limps out from behin the curtains and plops himself down onto a comfortable chair, slowly sighing to himself that he'd not done well enough for his headmaster.

Hermione "Are you okay?" she asks when she sees his pained look.

Krum looks at her and nods, "I vink so, but I did not do vell I vink..." he says, his accent becoming heavier due to his exhaustion.

Harry "If you need anything just let me know, we're all in this together you know?" he says with a smile and receives a nod from Krum.

Krum "It's Victor... Call me Victor."

Harry nods, "You better call me Harry then." he says, making Victor chuckle.

Fleur stands and gives a quick bow, "Az my fellow championz, you may call me Fleur."

Hermione doesn't add anything as she's only here for Harry, though she can see Victor's imploring eyes at her.

Harry "So, Ciri's last right?"

Victor nods, he had kept a close eye on how Ciri would do and he held out hopes she wouldn't get horribly disfigured or injured in the task. "I think she vill do vell."

Fleur nods along but Harry cuts in, "I hope she does... But she's not like you guys, despite how old she is she's still in the fourth year like me and Hermione, I only managed to finish the task so easily because I had an old artifact at my disposal..."

Fleur "Non, I think she is very strong... I can feel it, it is like she is keeping it all hidden."

Hermione nods at this, "Why do you feel like that?" she asks curious.

Fleur "We Veela can sense strong aura's, thiz is because we like to find strong males to mate... Zou we do not practise this tradition any longer."

Harry "Aura? What's my aura like?"

Fleur looks at him for a couple seconds before replying, "Like a young Dumblydore's."

Harry nods slowly, happy that he's being compared to the greatest wizard currently alive but also conflicted at having any similarities with him.

Hermione "And Ciri's?"

...

Fleur licks her lips, "Like the world iz compressed in on itself, more powerful than Dumblydore's but less controlled." she says with a strange expression.
