"Do not mind Gabrielle, she is just being nosy," Eve explained to him, bringing his attention to her.
"Um... okay," Lucifer said, Gabrielle sitting beside Eve, not knowing how to continue such after that....
Lucifer heard a loud roar and saw that Krum and his Dragon had been facing off.
Krum had used the Conjuctivitus Curse to take care of his, which happened to be a Romanian Longhorn; another Dragon that wasn't overly dangerous compared to others, but still posed a serious threat if not careful.
"Only Harry and Fleur left to compete... I just... I don't know... something is going to go wrong..."
Hermione looked at him, then down to his hand.
She grabbed it and squeeze, reassuring him that Harry and Fleur would do just fine, ignoring the tinge of red on her cheeks for her victory when Lucifer smiled.
"Fleur! Voir!" Gabrielle yelled and pointed suddenly out towards the arena.
Fleur had just walked out into the arena and Lucifer had to admit, she looked rather nice in her outfit.
He watched her carefully walk towards the Egg, and his fear for her just spiked.
The Dragon revealed itself to be a Peruvian Vipertooth.
"WHAT!?" He yelled out in anger, "A Peruvian Vipertooth!? They've lost their damn minds!" He tensed up as Fleur began to evade the Dragon.
"Why is it bad that it is a Peruvian Vipertooth?" Eve asked him, not aware of such dragon's..
"It's the most venomous Dragon to exist! One little prick from its teeth and the victim will die in minutes!" He explained to her.
Lucifer apologized for saying it a bit hostile, but he was just afraid for Fleur's safety, "Bad enough there is a Hungarian Horntail for Harry to face off against, regarded as one of the meanest Dragons to exist... fuck... Bagman, you son of a bitch..."
Hermione tensed up every time the Vipertooth got close to biting Fleur.
She might not have harbored any good will towards the French girl, but she wouldn't wish to see her dead, not from a Dragon at least.
Fleur finally got off the spell to put it to sleep, but it seemed unfazed by the spell.
Fleur went at it for a few minutes, and the Dragon finally fell over, sleeping soundly.
Lucifer let out a sigh, not realizing he had held his breath for that long.
Fleur had collected the Egg and began walking back, but something unexpected happened, and caused panic amongst not only the crowd, but the Dragon Containment Wizards.
The Peruvian Vipertooth woke up, and it was not happy to see Fleur walking off with an Egg.
It let out a piercing shriek and Fleur ran for her life back to the tent as the Wizards all tried to control the rampaging Dragon.
It was nimble, though, and maneuvered around the Stunner's sent it's way.
It broke off the chain that kept it inside a specific perimeter and charged straight for Fleur.
Hermione barely recognized what happened next as things seemed to move in slow-motion.
She had heard Gabrielle let out a cry of terror for Fleur as the Vipertooth had it's gaping maw mere feet away from Fleur.
In her peripheral vision, she saw Lucifer stand up, and heard him yell, "No!" And she saw him rear his right hand back before he thrust it forward.
The next thing Hermione knew, the Peruvian Vipertooth was forced to the ground; it was like invisible chains had come up from the ground and then were pulled back into the ground, trying to take the Dragon with it.
The Vipertooth shrieked in pain as it was basically rendered immobilized.
Hermione stood close to him and as she knew it to be, Lucifer's eyes were glowing red.
His hand was slowly closing into a fist, which she didn't understand, only before she could try to calm him down....
"Luce, it's okay... Fleur's safe," Eve said and looked around; everyone in the stands, plus the judges, were looking down at him, no one except her dared to try and stop him, because she knew that only she could stop him.
Hermione almost spat venom.
Lucifer eventually relaxed his hand and the Dragon Containment Wizards moved in to secure the Peruvian Vipertooth.
His breathing was heavier than usual, and he sat down, closing his eyes as he did.
"And that!" Bagman's voice rang out, "Was the most magnificent display of wandless and non-verbal magic I've ever seen! Truly living up to his Ancestor!"
Lucifer merely tsked.
Hermione felt a pang of sorrow in her chest, 'Maybe he really does love Eve after all... not that I blame him... I just really thought maybe he and I could've had a chance at something...'
She looked back at him from the arena to await Harry's arrival and saw a content look on his face.
'Who am I trying to fool? We never had a chance... he just never loved me the way I love him...'
Hermione looked away from him, for if she looked at his Lucifer's eyes any longer, she would've broken down into tears.
It wasn't long until Harry finally came out, looking unsure of himself.
'Can't really blame him,' Lucifer thought, 'The news of him being in the Tournament has affected his psyche. He's not been doing the greatest in classes either.'
Harry couldn't see the Dragon, obviously, but he didn't hesitate to go ahead and put his plan into action.
Harry raised his wand into the air and said, "Accio Firebolt!"
"So that's what he had planned... he's playing to his Strength, no doubt about that," Lucifer said and Hermione smiled.
"That's what he came up and asked me to help him with, the Summoning Charm, so that he could summon his Firebolt," Hermione was smiling, even though Harry looked ridiculous standing there, until the Broom finally showed up.
Harry swung his leg over it, mounting the Broomstick and he flew a little ways up, but not too high.
Lucifer watched him move to be over the Golden Egg, then the Horntail attacked.
It flew up, roaring viciously at Harry as it did, and he barely got out of it's range when the chain brought it back to the ground with a rumbling thud.
Harry had taken a risk and dove for the Golden Egg, but as the Horntail struggled to get back up, the massive tail was thrashing about, and Harry had been unable to get the Egg.
He quickly tried to get out of the range of the Dragon, but he wasn't fast enough and it soon breathed fire, which he barely outran; the end of his Firebolt almost got singed.
He flew circles around the Dragon as her head followed him without fail.
He was staying out of her range just enough so that she didn't breathe fire again, but he still posed a threat as far as she was concerned.
She was crouched low over her nest, but she suddenly jumped up again, and that seemed to be what Harry was waiting on.
He dove as she rose and he swooped in to get the Golden Egg before the Dragon had even come back down to the Rocky surface.
He sped off away from the Dragon to be safely out of her reach, and she was roaring savagely at him, breathing fire and thrashing about.
The crowd stood up in applause, marveling at the Flying that Harry had accomplished to show off.
Bagman could be heard shouting about how Harry had the fastest Egg retrieval time of all of them.
Then suddenly, like the Vipertooth, the Horntail broke free of the chain that held it to the spot.
Though, instead of the chain snapping, it pulled up a chunk of rock that the chain was connected to, and it flew through the air, right towards them.
He heard screams all around him, and Lucifer held up his hand before the boulder made contact and killed them.
He moved it back out to the Stadium and dropped it, safely impacting the ground.
The Horntail still raged freely as she chased Harry around in the sky, and actually managed to catch Harry's shoulder with its fiery breath, which he quickly put out.
The Dragon Containment Wizards had all mounted broomsticks and flew up after her.
They tried to subdue the dragon in midair, and it worked, but the Dragon had been hurtling down towards the ground, outside the arena.
They might have expected Lucifer to stop her descent and move her back into the arena, but he did nothing of the sort and watched with everyone else as she disappeared, and half a second later, a loud thud was heard.
Now that the final round had been ended, the crowd was skittering about, just as Harry's score had been announced by the judges.
