Author's note: Hi again! Don't worry I'm still working on my other supergirl fic ;) But I got this idea in my head of Kara being the hogwarts champion and it all kind of ran away from me! At the moment this is just a one shot, but I do have more notes around expanding it, just depends on how much time I can spare at the moment. Anyway, enjoy! x
"And the champion for Hogwarts is…" Dumbledore drew a deep breath, "KARA DANVERS!"
An enormous cheer erupted from the yellow and black table as proud Hufflepuffs jumped to their feet and screamed their approval of their star quidditch player, chanting "Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff!"
Polite clapping sounded from the other tables around the room, hiding the disappointment of the other wannabe champions of the British school. The exception was a green clad Slytherin girl who started whooping and hollering from her seat amidst the emerald and silver colours, ignoring the indifferent looks from her fellow housemates.
"I didn't know your sister had entered?" Lena spoke over the cheering as she reached for her morning pumpkin juice around the exuberant Alex Danvers sitting next to her.
"Yea we entered at the same time late last night. If it couldn't be me, I'm glad it's her. Danvers sisters represent!" Alex shouted the last part and pumped her fist into the air, smiling as her eyes met those of her sister currently being hoisted into the air by a number of burly Hufflepuffs.
"What's that?" Lena's sharp eyes noticed the anomaly before Alex and the majority of the other students, too distracted by the announcement of the Hogwart's champion to see the strange goings on at the teacher's top table.
"Hmm?" A distracted Alex answered.
"The goblet is only supposed to announce the champions isn't it?"
"Yea, why?"
"Well Dumbledore's announced them all now… Fleur, Victor and Kara…"
"So…" Alex had no idea what Lena was trying to get at, and was busy claiming the last pancake from the stack in front of her.
"So… Why did it just spit out another piece of parchment..?"
Alex turned her gaze to the front, and Dumbledore, who was looking oddly confused at a fourth piece of paper in his hands.
"Can I please have everyone's attention!" His magically enhanced voice rose over the clamour and celebration until all the noise eventually died out.
"Harry Potter… Harry Potter? Harry Potter!"
Silence swept over the great hall as Harry Potter stood up and made his way over to Dumbledore. He silently took the scorched parchment from the headmaster's hand and walked towards the door Albus had indicated. As soon as it swung shut the hall began to buzz.
"He must have cheated… He's not even 17 yet!" Alex exclaimed to Lena.
"I don't see how… The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object, only an exceptionally powerful Confundus charm could have hoodwinked it. Magic way beyond the talents of a 4th year…" Lena contemplated, her brows frowning quizzically.
"What are you saying? Boy wonder was set up?" Alex asked in disbelief.
Lena shrugged "He has a history of clashing with dark wizards… Maybe it was one of those who followed my brother before he was imprisoned?" She spoke the last part quietly, still ashamed of being associated with the Luthor name, even though there were those among her house who were proud of the fact that they were at school with someone of such illustrious dark heritage.
Lena leaned forwards to grab a slice of toast and as she did so spotted Kara making her way towards the same door behind the teacher's table. The newly appointed champion turned round to pump her fist in the air once more towards her fellow Hufflepuffs, she then turned towards the Slytherin table and waved. Lena looked around quickly but Alex wasn't paying attention, was Kara waving at her? She smiled shyly and waved back, her stomach flipped strangely when Kara beamed at her.
One week after the announcement, Lena was walking through the corridors of the school, books on rare spells and ancient runes stacked high in her arms as the 7th yr made her way back to the Slytherin dorm for an intense study session with Alex. As she turned a corner, a blonde blur crashed straight into her. Books and parchment went flying and Lena herself nearly hit the floor but found herself suddenly wrapped safely in a pair of strong and very toned arms.
"I'm so sorry! I'm late to the wand weighing and I didn't see you, but I shouldn't have been running, and I hit you and knocked all your books! Let me help you with those…" the girl babbled.
"That's OK…" Lena started but as her gaze reached the eyes of the other student she lost her train of thought. All that she could think of was just how close she was to Kara Danvers… She had never really noticed how beautiful the other girl was before… She had just thought of her as Alex's kid sister (even though she was only in the year below)…
"Oh I'm sorry…" Kara suddenly realised she was still holding tight to the Luthor heiress "Let me help you" And swiftly stood her back up, reluctantly removing her hands from around the other woman's waist in order to start picking up the scattered books, "I'm such a klutz!" She blushed as she dropped a book from the top of the now teetering pile in her hands. She grabbed the last couple and held them out to Lena.
"Thank you…" Lena spoke and smiled, taking the book pile, unsure of what else to say around the adorable blonde.
"OK then! Well I have to go… See you around Lena!" And with that Kara sprinted off, attempting to hide her furious blushing, not realising that the Slytherin was blushing twice as hard...
