Chapter 173: Harry's Triumph and the Dragon's Fall
The dragon roared and chased after him, Harry went higher and higher into the air. When the nimbus looked like it was struggling to go higher, he looked down and saw the dragon was still chasing after him. Harry took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes.
"Oh please let this work." Harry said before he jumped off the broom, his jump was as good as it could be considering that he was only using one leg. If Harry could hear them then he would know that the crowd were all gasping and screaming as he fell towards the dragon. The dragon opened its mouth, clearly intending to catch him and eat him. Harry fired an explosive spell that hit the dragon in the face, causing it to move its face to the side.
Harry flew past it and continued falling, the dragon changed directions and chased after him. Harry span so he was facing the dragon, he aimed his wand and a barrage of spells shot toward the dragon. If it wasn't for its magically resistant hide then the dragon would have most certainly been dead by now. The dragon roared as it got closer to Harry, it opened its mouth and Harry could start to see the fire building. Harry quickly jabbed his wand in the dragons direction, a bright blue beam shot out and went directly into the dragons mouth.
The dragons eyes widened as it felt the explosion in its mouth, Harry allowed himself a small grin before he turned over, he waited until he was closer to the ground and waved his wand over his shirt. The sides of his shirt expanded, the bottom corners of the shirt attached itself to his ankles, Harry had managed to create a glider. Harry kept his legs together and spread his arms out, he reached closer to the ground before he pulled up, thankfully the glider was working. Harry looked back and saw that the dragon was struggling but it was still flying, it hadn't crashed into the ground like Harry had hoped. He had either misjudged how good dragons were at flying and had been able to pull up in time or he had messed up his timing.
Harry used his glider to fly back to the stadium, once Harry got closer he landed near the key. As he landed he fell on the floor thanks to a lack of support from his right foot. Harry saw the dragon - while still slower than before - was flying towards him. Harry took in a deep breath as he forced himself to a kneeling position. The tip of his wand started glowing, lightning began dancing along his wand and down his arm. Harry pulled his arm back, he waited till the dragon had flew past the crowd.
Harry took in one more deep breath before he thrust his wand in the direction of the dragon, a large blast of lightning erupted from the tip of his wand. The lightning struck the dragon directly in the chest, it screeched as it fell out of the sky and crash landed on the rocky floors below, it rolled several times before it stopped in front of Harry, only a meter or so away from hitting him. Despite that Harry kept pouring out lightning for at least another thirty seconds.
Once Harry stopped he looked down at the dragon, it twitched slightly but it didn't look like it was going to keep moving. Harry flicked his wand at the direction of the key, a rope shot out of it and grabbed the key before pulling it to Harry.
"Flipsy, broom." Harry tiredly called. A second later, Flipsy arrived and handed Harry his broom. "Thanks. Harry smiled at the elf before he got on the broom and flew towards the exit, the crowd cheering loudly for him as he left.
"Miss Delacour will not be able to compete, she has broken her leg." Madam Pomfrey told Percy when he came over. "Same for Mr Krum, his whole left arm has been burnt, fortunately he hasn't lost his wand like Mr Diggory."
"And what of Mr Potter?" Percy asked.
"He cannot..."
"I'll do it." Harry interrupted, as he stood up from the bed, his right foot covered in a bandage as he leaned on the bed post. The other champions stared at him with disbelief, they seemed to be doing a lot of that.
"Mr Potter, you can't, I haven't finished healing you!" Madam Pomfrey burst out. "That's not to mention the fact that you're exhausted. If you go out in your condition then you could be hurt much worse!"
"Then worse it is. As for the exhaustion I'll take one more of those potions if I can." Harry said as he walked forwards, taking great care to use his right foot as little as possible. He reached into the bag and pulled out his next opponent. "Well, I hope I don't have to kill this one." Harry sighed.
