Phoenix Flames by Equinox Chick
Summary: A poem about the first task of the Triwizard Cup, held at Beauxbatons Academie in 2017.

This is connected to my fic 'Chasing the Scoop'. The journalist is Lavender Brown and the three champions are Jeunefleur - for Beauxbatons, Grindelwald - for Durmstrang, and Victoire Weasley - for Hogwarts.

I am not JK Rowling; I doubt that has shocked anyone here.

1. Phoenix Flames by Equinox Chick

Phoenix Flames by Equinox Chick
She sits in the stand,
A quill in her hand,
And watches the champions’ eyes.

The task is to claim,
A bird through the flame.
A phoenix to bring them their prize.

For Beauxbatons’ Jeunefleur
It all becomes a blur,
As fire scorches his hair.

And Grindelwald shouts,
As the phoenix breaks out,
Of the cage he had dropped on its lair.

Victoire enters the ring,
And begins to sing,
A song of astonishing charm.

The phoenix replies,
In kind as it flies,
Around her, and then the flames calm.

“She’s done it!” they yell.
Victoire has done well.
And Lavender has her story.

The first task is done.
The Weasley girl’s won,
But there’s two more until she gets glory.

She becomes the day's news,
And all have their views,
On this girl with courage and grace.

So clear the front page.
Give Victoire centre stage.
She is holding her own in the race.

If she should succeed,
Perhaps they’ll take heed,
Of something that’s never come up.

They have erred in this game,
So they should change the name,
And compete in the Triwitches Cup.
End Notes:
I rather like reviews and would be pleased if you could leave one *leaves cookies for reviewers*
