Harry Potter Update

Look you guys, I can't post a summery for EVERY chapter!  Go read the books yourselves, I ain't SparkNotes!  But I just finished Chapter 20 and wanted to put a quick summery down:

So it's the night that Harry is going to talk to Sirius and Hagrid is all like "Bluh, Harry, you should come down to my hut at midnight tonight I've got something to show you!" And Harry's like "God, fine Hagrid, I will!" Even though he's supposed to talk to Sirius at 1 am he goes down to Hagrid's hut.  There he meets Hagrid, he's wearing the invisibility cloak by the way, and the two go off to the forrest.  Hagrid brings Madame Maxime and Harry is still invisible.  Hagrid then shows the two the four dragons that they have brought for the first task!  Ahh!  Dragons!  Harry has to fight a DRAGON!

So Harry goes back to the castle and talks to Sirius, via the fireplace, and tells him everything that's happening and how freaked out he is and Sirius is all "Harry, there is a simple spell you can use to defeat the dragon!" But then Ron comes bustin' in and Sirius has to leave.  Harry and Ron get into a fight and both of them go to bed angry.

The next day Harry realizes that Cedric is the only person who won't know about the dragons (because when Harry went back to the school he saw Karkaroff sneaking toward the forrest) so he devises a plan to tell him.  He makes Cedric's bag rip in the hall before class and he tells him.  But suddenly Moody comes out of nowhere and tells Harry they need to talk!

Back in Moody's office, he tells Harry that he needs to play up his strengths to fight the dragon.  Harry figures out that flying is a talent that he has and Moody hints that he can summon the broom into the stands.  So Harry is off to find Hermione so that he can master the summoning spell accio!


The two practice and practice, and finally it's time for the first task.  As Harry suspected, all the champions knew about the dragon and were ready and prepared.  The order was Cedric, Fluer, Krum, and then Harry.  All of them go and finally it's Harry's turn!

Harry is off to fight the dragon!  His task is to get the golden egg from underneath the mother dragon.  Harry's dragon is the most dangerous of all, the Hungarian Horntail!  So he summons his broom and treats the task like a particularly dangerous quidditch game and gets the golden egg!  Hooray for Harry!

After he leaves the stadium, he is met by Hermione and....RON!  And Ron apologizes and they are friends again, like nothing ever happened!  All is well right now for the H-Pizzles.  Harry finds out that the clue for the next class is the egg he just obtained.  But what could that mean?

That's all for today!
