I know, this tournament will spread out over quite a few pages.
Sarah shook her head.
'No, not Jasmine, not Teddy...' she whispered. 'What's Remus gonna say?' Fred came over and wrapped his arms round her. McGonagall called out the names and the two children went into the little room, Sarah and McGonagall following.
'Did you two enter your names into the goblet?' asked McGonagall. Sarah looked at her.
'How could they? They're only 12!' Sarah asked.
'What's Dad gonna say Sarah?' asked Teddy in a whisper. Sarah couched down.
'I don't know, but I will protect you with my life. And you Jasmine.' she said. Jasmine and Teddy hugged her, and she hugged them. 'Let's go tell Remus. Better now then later.' Sarah said and the two followed. 'Can we use your fire Minerva?' asked Sarah. McGonagall nodded and they went to her office. Sarah sat down, Jasmine and Teddy either side. Sarah threw some powder in the fire. 'Remus! I need a word!' she called. Remus came out the fire.
'Sarah, whats up?' he asked, as McGonagall came in.
'Teddy and Jasmine's name's have come out the goblet.' Sarah said. Remus looked at McGonagall as if to confirm. She nodded. Remus turned to Teddy.
'Teddy Lupin...' he started.
'Remus, I do not believe they would, or could, have put their names in the goblet.' Sarah said. Freya came in.
'Is it a party?' asked Sarah in amusement.
'Teddy!' said Freya and she hugged her step-brother. Jasmine hugged her mum. Sarah hugged her back. Teddy let go of Freya and walked over to his dad. Remus looked at his son, and to everyone's great surprise, pulled him into a hug, no yelling or anything. Sarah breathed out.
'What am I to do Mum?' asked Jasmine.
'You are gonna compete, because the rules say you have to, and you are gonna get through this alive, because I'm gonna help you both.' said Sarah.
'But how? We're only 12!' cried Teddy.
'Listen. I trust Sarah, I would trust her with my life. And I know, she is gonna get you through this.' said Remus. Sarah smiled.
'Right. I know the tasks. They made them the same as before. Now, we need to think. What talents have you got?' asked Sarah. Jasmine smiled.
'I can transfigure pretty well.' she said.
'I can fly!' piped up Teddy. Sarah nodded. Teddy was known for being a good flyer.
'Right this is what you're gonna do...' said Sarah The First Task:
Sarah sat in her seat as Teddy walked out. He raised his wand.
'Accio Broom!' he called. His broom flew towards him and he flew round the Dragon. He flew round his head in circles and it got dizzy. He flew between the legs and grabbed the egg. He flew up to the cheers. Jasmine came out. She stood her ground. She waved her wand and a rock transfigured into a dog. The dragon let out a roar and went after it, leaving Jasmine time to get the egg. She grabbed it and another cheer went up. Sarah collapsed back in her seat, relived.
