Harry Potter The Serpent

After a lot of protesting from Madam Pomfrey, Harry entered the stadium for a fourth time, the crowd once again cheered for him as he entered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, coming back is Harry Potter, the only champion to make it to the fourth round of this task!" Ludo said from the commentary box, his excitement was a little forced since he was really hoping that Harry had just stayed in the tent so to reduce the chances of him getting killed which would result in Ludo getting killed. "And now he faces his final opponent, the thunderbird!"

Harry limped forwards and saw the thunderbird resting on a nest along with three eggs, it was a massive bird, easily bigger than Harry. Its head looked like that of an eagles, it had three pairs of powerful wings, and feathers that shimmer with cloud-like patterns. The feathers were a mix of gold and white. Harry also couldn't help but notice the key that was sitting next to its talons. Much like the dragon it was chained up, but that didn't really comfort Harry much seeing as the dragon was also supposed to be secure. Harry stopped when its eyes locked onto him.

"I really don't want to fight you." Harry sighed as he pulled his wand out. "But I need that key."

The thunderbird looked at him, it tilted its head to the side and looked at Harry like he was the oddest thing it had ever seen. It reached its head down and picked up the key right before it tossed it towards Harry. Harry was more than surprised but he managed to catch it. The whole crowd was stunned, nobody made a noise as they did not want to miss whatever this was. Harry looked back and forth between the key and the thunderbird, the thunderbird looked at him and Harry couldn't help but feel like it was waiting for something.

"Um...thank you." Harry eventually said, the thunderbird's expression shifted and if Harry had to guess he would say that it was pleased. It reached down once again, but this time it didn't pick up a key. It moved as close to Harry as it could before lowering its head towards him. Harry gulped slightly but moved forward and placed his hands near the thunderbirds head, a second later the thunderbird had dropped an egg the size of a football into Harry's hands. "A...are you sure? This...this is yours." Harry said as he looked at the thunderbird with disbelief. The thunderbird squawked at him, it gently rubbed its head against his before it flapped its wings and moved back to its nest. "I guess she is sure." Harry whispered to himself as he looked at the egg, he frowned when he noticed a crack in the egg. A second later another crack appeared.

"It's hatching!" One person in the audience hissed, only to be shushed by several people nearby.

That person wasn't wrong though, more cracks formed, Harry didn't dare move. A few seconds later a small birds head poked out of one of the cracks. Several audience members quietly cooed at the sight while others began whispering to each other. Eventually the rest of the bird managed to escape the egg, it was the same colour as its mother, it looked up at Harry with its golden eyes, it stared at him for several seconds before it leaped up and tried to fly up by flapping its wings, it had overestimated its capabilities and began falling down, fortunately Harry was able to quickly catch it.

"Easy, big guy, easy." Harry whispered to it before he turned to the bigger thunderbird. "T...thank you." Harry said in a shaky voice, he wasn't entirely sure what had just happened, but he knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was something special. The thunderbird bowed its head before it gestured him to leave. "Thank you." Harry said once again before he turned and slowly limped out, being very careful to not hurt the bird that was trying to make itself comortable in his hands.

The whole crowd had once again fell into silence, silence that would be broken about ten seconds later.

"Did he just get another one?!" Jet hissed loudly.
