Draco entered the train to Hogwarts after looking back a final time towards his parents. He walked to the back cabin where he's friends were already in.
"Draco darling I've missed you so much!" Pansy cried out seeing him and hugged him with her full strength.
"Alright Pansy, that's enough" Draco said patting her head then took a seat by the window in front of Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle next to him. He nodded at the part Italian boy who raised an eyebrow in greeting.
"So Malfoy when the World Cup happened?" Theodore asked smirking.
"Is this before or AFTER the whole Death Mark in the sky thing" Millicent asked sarcastically.
"Either. Both. I honestly didn't see you anywhere Draco." Nott said with a small sneer.
Draco rolled his eyes. "We were in the ministry box with the minister, we are Malfoys after all. Afterwards I portkeyed back home the moment things turn mad. Did you really think my father would let me stay there in the middle of all that mess?" He sneered.
"Me too. Both me and mum went home the moment the sky turned snakes and skulls" Blaise said nodding. "No point in being there when the aurors show up."
"I for one saw the whole thing" Nott said crossing his arms.
Pansy blinked at him "did you really? Was it as gory as people described?" She asked curious cause she too wasn't there when it happened. She's not all that into Quidditch.
"I don't know what people has been saying. But those muggles got what was coming to them" Nott said smiling maliciously.
Pansy hummed and changed the topic, Greg and Vincent nodded in agreement while the rest just stayed quiet. Draco avoided Blaise's gaze and looked out the window.
Flashback
"Mother what's happened?" Draco asked worried as he's been rushed by his parents into a dark corner.
"No questions Draco. Take this portkey and go home." Lucius said strictly a smile on his lips.
"But-?" Draco started but was cut off by his mother smiling, but more anxiously, at him.
"Don't worry Draco, you'll know about it soon enough." She said hugging him.
Draco wanted to protest but knew better and took the locket his mother gave him and the last thing he saw was a snake coming out of a skull in the sky. And his exact thoughts were "shit"
End of Flashback
They arrived at Hogwarts and went to the dining hall. Draco was talking to his friends after the sorting is done and then he heard the Dumbledore say
"-there will not be any quidditch this year"
Draco snapped his head to the headmaster "what?" He asked sharply. There was shouts from all over the hall. 'No Quidditch?!'
Dumbledore raised his hand "you see Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, the Triwizard tournament. Foe those of you who do not know-"
And Draco tuned him out. He looked at the others to see everyone surprised. 'Glad to know I'm not the only one.' He thought.
"Please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies ofthe beauxbatons academy of magic and their headmistress Madame Maxime." And in come a group of beautiful girls with butterflies and white sparks everywhere.
"Oh great. Veelas" Draco muttered.
Then came in the Durmstrangs with fire and sparks and other attractions. What drew Draco in was the boy standing in front of the hwadmaster, Igor.
"Draco, that's Victor Krum!" Vincent said loudly.
Draco would have rolled his eyes if he too wasn't stunned still. "Well bloody hell." He said "at least this year we won't have to see Potter everywhere."
"True that!" Pansy said giggling as she glanced at the Durmstrang students.
After all the commotion they head to their dorm rooms. Everything was the same as last year. Draco pulled out things from his trunk to organize on his desk while the others went directly to bed.
While putting arranging his books he thought of the new arrivals to the school. He sighed at the thought of having to rearrange the whole warding system he has arround the school. Not to mention whatever challenges that will be used for the tournament will surely need to be investigated.
'I have to make someone look into the past tournaments... and the veelas. Shit I have to adjust the wards so they can't sense it. Although they're probably only half veelas still-' Draco blinked.
TAP TAP TAP
Draco looked out the window that face the bottom of the lake to see a mermaid. the mermaid was holding a scroll in her hand. Draco raised an eyebrow and used a spell to transport the scroll to his hand. He smiled at the mermaid in thanks as she swam away.
the scroll was wet in his hands but as he unscrolled it everyword was clear as if on dry paper.
'Dear Draco
She has awoken and soon so will he. The time is getting nearer. Prepare yourself and be cautious. You are in command should anything happen.
It's unknown when we will be able to contact each other again. Do not use the mirror and do not sought me out. He needs me and that's my first priority.
With best regards
M'
Draco stared wide eyed at the words 'She has awoken'. He sat down weakly on his bed and put his head in his hands. 'She's awake, no Quidditch, Triwizard tournaments'
"Fuck my life."
