Ewwww, that's so gross."

"Hahaha, he's so scared that he wet himself! This tournament is awesome!"

Mockery and laughter filled the stadium from students and others alike. He had gone from being on top of the world to being its joke in an instant...

"ROAAAAAAAR!" The nundu entered the arena with a deafening roar, and Luis felt its eyes on him. He was standing on the highest hill with no cover, and the beast was glaring right at him.

"Roar!" The nundu roared again, this time directly at Luis, who made the most impactful decision of his young life.

With his pants wet and his face streaked with tears and snot, Luis turned and ran out of the arena as fast as he could. "I DON'T WANT TO COMPETE ANYMORE! I'M GOING HOME!"

He screamed as he headed for the emergency exit that was spelled to only allow wizards and not magical creatures to pass.

The ferocious nundu who was ready to devour its prey was saddened that it ran away…

The spectators watched in shock as the French boy who had looked so confident just moments ago fled in terror.

"Wait, I thought competitors couldn't quit. Did he just give up his magic?" A spectator asked aloud. The arena erupted in questions as everyone wondered what had just happened.

"I paid good money to be here and get these seats. That was really disappointing!"

"I want a refund for my ticket!"

Dumbledore sensed the tension in the spectators growing from being denied a bloody show. He cast the sonorous charm on himself and his voice washed over the entire arena.

"ATTENTION, EVERYONE," DUMBLEDORE SAID. "FORTUNATELY, THE CHAMPION LUIS WAS A BONUS CHAMPION ASSIGNED FROM HIS SCHOOL TO MAKE THE COMPETITORS EVENLY NUMBERED.

THEREFORE HE IS IN NO DANGER OF LOSING HIS MAGIC DUE TO QUITTING. FURTHERMORE, THERE ARE FOUR COMPETITORS WHO MUST COMPETE NO MATTER WHAT.

SO EVEN IF THE OTHER BONUS CHAMPION ALSO QUITS, I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL SEE ALL FOUR OF THEM COMPETE!"

Dumbledore explained to the disgruntled audience who finally calmed down and just let out some grumbles about paying to see six competitors and not four…

Sergei POV

"Boooooooooo!" From his waiting spot in the champions tent, Sergei could hear a constant stream of booing coming from the arena. Sergei figured that the puffed up sparkling frenchy had utterly failed.

Unlike the Frenchy, Sergei had never known failure. Sergei was always the best at everything he tried. Whether it came to Athletics, dueling, or magic in general he was always the top of the class.

He was durbstrang's top student! The only thing he was mediocre at was flying. Sergei had a small fear of heights... But that didn't matter because flying wasn't part of the triwizard tournament, at least he hoped it was not.

So why then did no one at Durmstrang ever talk about him? It was always Victor this and Victor that!

Just because Krum played professional Quidditch everybody always focused on everything he did! And Sergei's reputation was always left in the dust. Well not today and not this time!

Sergei was going to prove to everyone right now that he was the superior wizard and it should have been him who was chosen as the champion, and not just some student who happens to fly really well on a broom!

"WILL THE NEXT COMPETITOR PLEASE COME TO THE ARENA." the announcer's voice called for Sergei. Strangely the announcer's voice sounded somewhat defeated or depressed? Whatever, that wasn't Sergei's problem anyway.

He was facing a legendary chimera! A beast that was a certified wizard killer. He needed to get his head into the game.

Sergei entered the arena to the cheers of all the people in attendance. This is what he was waiting for, and now he shall prove himself the best.

"AND OUR SECOND CHAMPION FROM DURMSTRANG IS ABOUT TO FACE OFF AGAINST THE LEGENDARY CHIMERA. LET'S HOPE HE SURVIVES!" The announcer shouted out for all to hear.

"Roar-hiss-baaah!" And there it was, the chimera had entered the arena as Sergei stared it down. Its lion head looked ferocious, its snake tail looked deadly and the goat on its back well, that always looked a little silly but still, it could be dangerous.

Knowing he couldn't give the beast any advantage, Sergei immediately cast his first spell.

"Bombarda maxima!" Sergei fired a maximum powered blasting curse right at the lion's head. Unfortunately, the chimera dodged out of the way as the curse missed and slammed into the wall right behind it with a bang!

"Damn it!" Sergei cursed. The bugger is fast.

Pissed off at this human who would dare try and attack it, the chimera lunged forward at Sergei. "Protego maxima!" Sergei called out as his strongest magical shield formed in front of him just in time for the chimera's fierce claws to slam into it.

Suddenly, it became a battle of his magical power versus the beast's sheer muscles and Sergei's shield was holding strong surprisingly. The spectators who were holding their breaths the whole time cheered at his display of magical prowess.

Sergei himself had never felt more alive. This is what he lived for!Sergei threw a large amount of magic at his shield that was currently holding off the chimera and it was flung backwards.

Not giving it a second to catch its breath, Sergei started unleashing all of the darkest magic he'd learned at Durmstrang as curse after curse was silently fired from his wand and impacting the beast. One of Sergei's dark curses hit the lion head right in the eye, immediately melting it!

"Roar!" The lion head howled in outrage and pain as Sergei smiled triumphantly. He had it on the ropes now. It was time to finish it! Sergei fired his strongest, darkest severing curse right at the chimera's tail,

completely severing the snake from the rest of the Abominations body!Roar - Baaaaah!" The Lion and the Goat were outraged that their Snake part was slain by this human.

But they've been pelted by dark curses from Sergei the entire time and the lion was already half blind. Making one last desperate charge the Chimera rushed Sergei for a final time.

Limping it's whole way towards him much slower than it did and its initial charge at the start of the battle.
