Chapter 1

Fourth year. Here I thought it would be another quiet year; however, that didn't work out very well. See they decided to spice things up a bit this year. Hogwarts is hosting a 'legendary' event this year. The Tri-Wizard tournament. Now there's double the amount of people here at least my spot is somewhat empty… The Black Lake was a calming place especially during the Autumn season "Excuse me?" A voice said bringing me out of my little rant.

"Yes?" I asked with annoyance,

"You're Norah Lee?" A shaggy haired figure stood over me with his robe held tightly to his robe, shifting his body

"You can sit down Harry. I'm assuming your books are weighing you down." I said scooting over on the ground and opened my book

"So… This is the first time we talked in our four years here at Hogwarts." Harry said smiling at me and I gave him a nod not looking a way at my book. "Honestly, you keep to yourself and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just I've never seen you talk to anyone." Harry wasn't wrong I usually keep to myself. I preferred to stay away from most people and my reward is high marks in all my classes.

"Harry, why aren't you with your friends Hermione and Ron? Well I know Ron is mad at you for entering the tournament."

Harry was silent for a moment playing with some of the dead leaves, "A lot of people think I'm a cheat and I didn't put my name in that goblet." He let out a frustrated sigh and threw some rocks into the lake. "Sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Lashing out usually helps relieve the tension." I said and turned my head as a few footsteps came down the slope, "Incoming." The three Gryffindor students and Harry's friends were whispering amongst themselves well… Only Ron and Hermione were another Weasley was just following along I'm assuming that she was bored.

Hermione walked ahead of both Ginny and Ron with an annoyed look. She took a quick glance at me, "Norah."

"Hermione." I said and turned back to my book "Don't mind me I'm not listening."

"Ronald would like me to tell you, that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid is looking for you." I looked at her confused and Harry had that same facial expression,

"I know I said I wasn't listening, but that was bloody confusing." I said shrugging and she gave me a look that would kill a Dementor, I rose my hands "Sorry. Not listening again."

"Hagrid is looking for you." Hermione simplified, and I was muttered that was much simpler, and flipped the page in my book and wrote something down. Harry grabbed a piece of parchment and unfolded it.

"Well you can tell Ron th-"

"I'm not an owl!" She quipped and left with the two Weasley's. Harry's fist went a pale white with anger I figured it was time for me to head back to the castle and finish my homework. Harry turned to me with sadness in his eyes to him everyone has abandoned him, and it was hurting him deeply inside.

"Are you going to leave too?"

I turned my body completely to him, "I was going to, but if you want me to stay I will." He gave me a stiff nod and I sat back down in front of the tree. "Did you do the assignment for Professor McGonagall?" I asked. "Alright turn to page 74." Hours later it was beginning to get dark. I was able to get my work done 3 months in advance while Harry was trying to finish the theory on using Spongify on an actual liquidated surface.

"What are you going to be doing later?" Harry asked as I gave him a raised eyebrow

"Just relaxing and going to sleep." I responded as we ascended the stairs to reach our common room.

"Would you like to meet up with me and Hagrid? It's going to be at 11 though. Wouldn't know if that would be past your bed time."

"Oh, so that's how you're going to be? I will meet you at the front gate at 11, I am going to eat right now. I'll see you then."

3rd Person View

The Great Hall was bustling as all the hungry students filed in the seats. Norah found a small empty area on the Gryffindor table and sat there pulling out a copy of the daily prophet and saw the interview that Rita Skeeter did on the four champions.

Hermione Granger looked past Ron and saw Norah sitting alone, for as long as she could remember she kept to herself she would occasionally give Norah a smile when they were in class together or if she was in the library. Norah Lee is beautiful, Hermione thought to herself. Her dark skin with alluring hazel eyes Her curly black hair reached her shoulders and her lips always had a shine to it. Hermione wondered what kind of lip gloss she used. But, for some reason she just didn't socialize with anyone after the first day. She would have been one of the most popular students in Hogwarts. Her black hair was in a loose ponytail and would occasionally stroke a lock behind her ear. There was a little information about Norah that most people knew about. She has two brothers that found some Vaults in Hogwarts one opened them up and cursed the school. The other brother saved the school. "I don't know I might try out for Quidditch next year since it's cancelled by this bloody tournament. What do you think 'Mione?" She didn't give him an answer and walked to where Norah was sitting.

"Do you mind if I sit with you?" Norah looked up and gave her a shrug meaning she really didn't care. Hermione sat across from him not sure what to say next as he continued to read the Prophet. "I wanted to thank you. "

Norah looked slightly confused as she closed her copy of the Daily Prophet, "You were there for Harry."

"He looked like a wounded murtlap. Which is painful to watch also kind of ugly too." She joked and took a sip of her drink. "Why are you siding by Weasley? Ginny is tolerable, but Ron is kind of an idiot." Hermione gave a short fit of laughter,

"He has his moments." Hermione said with only a grunt of whatever from the other Gryffindor. "It's just I don't want to be on the side with most attention."

Norah smiled, "You know you three are called the Golden Trio. You can go to Spain and they probably know who you are. Trust me I don't want to have any attention, but people saw me with Potter earlier now I have all sorts attention."

"You have two older brothers?"

Norah shifted the bench uncomfortably with the question, "Jacob and Joseph. Jacob is the oldest."

"I remember seeing your brother Joseph on our first year. He was famous for finding some vaults that your other brother Jacob unlocked." She said

"I rather not talk about this." Before Hermione could get a word in Norah walked out of the Great Hall quickly.

Norah spent a few hours reading more about magical creatures she was focusing more on the Horned Serpent one of the deadliest creatures in existence. Norah's tabby cat jumped on her bed and began to step on her book and began purring "Iris!" She hissed picking up the cat and got a meow in response, "I love you, but you get on my nerves." With a quick look at the time Norah cursed realizing she was already five minutes late at meeting Harry in the front gate. She grabbed her pullover and rushed over.

The following morning Norah walked her way to the courtyard in search of the Beauxbaton's champion Fleur Delacour. Luckily, she was extremely popular and was surrounded by her school mates and fans. Norah brushed past the crowd and saw the beautiful French witch in her element. Other students looked at Norah with anger and disgust. "Do you have a moment?" Norah asked while Fleur smiled at her fellow students and continued on with their conversation, "It's about your first task." Norah said, and Fleur changed her attitude fast and pulled Norah into a archway

"Go on…" Fleur folded her arms and saw people staring at the two awkwardly.

Norah fixed her robes as she began to talk, "Dragons is your first task. Each champion has one prepared for you." Fleur cursed as she paced around, "I don't know what it will entail, but you can be sure you have to fight it. Good luck." Norah bowed her head and turned to head to her potions class. Last thing she wanted to do was be late for Professor Snape's class and lose Gryffindor house points.

Norah enter the potion classroom as she usually does not attract attention and sitting in the middle of the classroom, that was until she felt something soft hit the back of her head. She looked down on to the floor and saw a ball of paper and looked behind her and saw Hermione gesturing her to read it. With a sigh Norah opened it up and eyed the room to make sure no one saw her, I want to apologize. Meet me in the library before dinner? Norah wrote a quick reply on there and pretended she was stretching and threw the paper back at Hermione.

Hermione grabbed the paper and unraveled it and saw the message I'll consider it. Hermione scowled at the raven headed girl. She didn't think Norah would get offended by asking a few questions she's a complete mystery. Hermione couldn't focus on todays' lecture as she planned on figuring out why she hid so much about her. Best people to ask would be Fred and George and possibly some teachers. Snape wouldn't give her anything, so it would be best to ask her Head of House, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid, and Professor Sprout.

It's been a few weeks since Harry Potter won the golden egg from his first task. Norah slowly got more comfortable with the attention from the student body from all three schools. Harry didn't socialize to her as much as he did since Ron came to his senses. She still wouldn't talk about herself until the mail came in that day. Norah was eating her lunch as a owl pecked at her hand to get her attention, "Blimey!" She hissed as she took the letter and shooed the bird away. Hermione looked at Norah and saw her read the letter and saw tears streaming down her face. Professor McGonagall was behind Norah and squeezed her shoulder, but Norah brushed her off and ran somewhere. "Professor what happened?"

"Her brother Jacob was killed."
