Harry returned to the champions' tent slightly disheveled but with a victorious smirk on his face. He'd gotten his bets placed in time. "Oh hey Harry, welcome back!" Jake waved at him.
"You missed the monster drawing, so you got whatever was left over. I wasn't really listening to whatever everyone else was facing."
Harry's smirk faded temporarily as he remembered that he, too, was going to have to compete in this deadly tournament, not just Jake. But that didn't matter because he was going to be rich... well, richer.
Actually, a lot richer! "So, what are you facing then, Jake?" Harry asked.
Jake took on a victorious grin. "Hahaha, you're looking at the next dragon slayer!" Jake declared, pointing at himself.
Fleur and Victor, who were nearby, just shook their heads in denial. "He is going to be roasted alive," Fleur said, while Victor nodded. When they first met him, they had believed he seemed very capable.
When they found out he didn't even use a wand, however, they figured he actually was an idiot who was going to die…
Harry looked at them curiously. "Aww, just ignore those killjoys, Harry," Jake said. "They'll see soon enough when I instantly curb stomp that dragon into the dirt."
Harry didn't know what 'curb stomping' was (since it was 1994...), but he just nodded along to Jake's boasting. He had seen him cast spells, and if Jake had learned a few more by now like he claimed, then he was sure to succeed.
Harry and Jake continued to have small talk until a loudspeaker voice roared through the entire area around the stadium.
"IT IS TIME FOR THE FIRST TASK TO COMMENCE! WILL OUR FIRST COMPETITOR, LUIS FROM BEAUXBATONS, PLEASE COME TO THE ARENA!"
Luis, still dressed in a super sparkly French robe, stood up and smiled. "Wii, it is time to show the entire wizarding world how fabulous I am!" He then glared at Fleur.
"Then everyone will know who the true most beautiful student at Beauxbatons is." Luis stormed out of the room after his declaration.
All the remaining competitors glanced at Fleur in curiosity as she just glared right back at Luis, who left the champions' tent.
"I sense some pent-up aggression that has a long history between the two of them," Harry whispered to Jake, who agreed with him.
Luis's POV
"IT IS TIME FOR THE FIRST TASK TO COMMENCE! WILL OUR FIRST COMPETITOR, LUIS FROM BEAUXBATONS, PLEASE COME TO THE ARENA!"
Luis stood up from his spot and, after taunting that trumpet Fleur, he headed to the arena so he could finally shine. All his life, Luis knew that he was destined to be a star.
He had luscious long hair, a slender body, and that kind of androgynous face that models would kill to have. In his own words, he was absolutely perfect!
He was destined to be the most popular student at his school the entire seven years he was there! But then, that all came crashing down once he made it to school in his first year and found out that a student was a quarter-Veela.
No one even bothered paying attention to him for almost the entire seven years he'd been there! It had always been about Fleur this and Fleur that.
When the Triwizard Tournament was announced, he saw his chance to prove himself. He was confident that Fleur's Veela charm would not affect an ancient device like the Goblet of Fire.
He expected to be chosen over her, but he was wrong. She was selected instead. Clearly, the Goblet was faulty.
But that did not matter in the end, because Harry Potter had somehow tampered with the Goblet and entered the Tournament as an extra champion from his school.
Luis seized the opportunity and volunteered to take the spot. Surprisingly, none of the other Beauxbatons students tried to stop him or take his place. Maybe they knew how much he despised Fleur and how far he would go to defeat her.
Luis had to stop his reminiscing as he entered the arena. It looked like a rocky stage that provided some cover...for the weaker competitors. Luis stood on the highest rock so he could be in the spotlight.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT TO YOU OUR FIRST COMPETITOR, LUIS!"
Luis basked in the cheers he received from the hundreds of spectators who were clapping for him and him alone.
"THE RULES ARE QUITE SIMPLE. SINCE WE HAVE SIX CHAMPIONS INSTEAD OF THREE, ALL LUIS HAS TO DO IS DEFEAT HIS MAGICAL CREATURE OPPONENT OR OPPONENTS.
LUIS WAS INFORMED OF WHAT HE WOULD BE FACING EARLIER, BUT HE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE SPECIFIC COUNTERMEASURES."
In the end, it didn't matter what he was facing. Luis felt a bit embarrassed at himself, but he was too distracted by Fleur's presence in the champions tent to pay attention when it was his turn to draw his monster.
He vaguely remembered reaching into the disgusting bag, but for the life of him he had no recollection of what monster he pulled out and selected. It was all Fleur's fault anyway for distracting him and making him angry.
Whatever he was facing it didn't matter, he was too beautiful not to succeed! And once he won the whole tournament, this incident would be a small funny anecdote for his memoirs.
Luis stood on his tall rock, radiating confidence and pride, and waited for his opposition to appear.LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT TO YOU LUIS'S OPPONENT. ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING CREATURES IN THE WIZARDING WORLD…A NUNDU!"
"..." There were gasps of shock from the spectators. Nundu's were some of the most dangerous magical creatures in the entire wizarding world!? A few audience members started praying for Luis's soul because he was going to die…
'A...a nundu?' Luis thought to himself in fear. He felt a wet sensation running down his leg. He glanced at his sparkly pants and saw that they were soaked...right where his crotch was. 'That's weird,' he thought, still in shock.
"Oh my god, did he just pee himself?" A spectator yelled out.
