Forgive me if the details are wrong: my GOF book has mysteriously disappeared. Plus, it's an AU. The spell means make you bleed, but it's a GOOGLE translate, I don't know Latin. Plus, I made up Neville's middle name.
The next morning, Shadow was walking around the lake when she was pulled up. "Evans," said Longbottom. Like last time, a wand pressed into her neck. "You're going to pay. My Grandmother made me, the boy-who-lived clean like a common house-elf!" He was angry now. "And I learnt an interesting curse the other day. I was in class with Moody when he showed it to us. It was this one," he said, voice softening, "Esto sanguinare." Blood began trickling out of Shadow's nose, slowly at first, then stronger and faster. A drop ran down from her mouth. Longbottom began walking away, so Shadow ran to the hospital wing, and screamed, "Madame Pomphrey!" She hurried over; paling when she saw Shadow, now bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears and bloody tears fell from her eyes down her pale face. "Help me," she whispered, before passing out from blood-loss.
Pomphrey hurried to her potion cabinet, and then waved her wand over the student. A blood-loss curse? She thought, shocked. Minerva won't be pleased. First, she removed the drying blood from the girl's face, and stopped the curse from continuing. Secondly, she poured as many blood-replenishing potions as she had down the girl's throat, but she needed more! She hurried to floo the Potions Master, because if she didn't hurry, her patient might die!
"Severus, Miss Evans has been hit with a blood-loss curse, and I need some more blood-replenishing potions, immediately! Miss Evans might die!" He began to work. Luckily, the potion was made in only half an hour by a skilled master of the art, so he had several batches up to the nurse as soon as he could. He then set about the task of fire-calling Lily.
A very annoyed and scared red-head ran up to the hospital wing moments after he had delivered the news. Shadow was stable, so Snape set about the task of informing Draco, Ginny, Hermione, Colin, and Luna. Penelope had left school the year before, going into Journalism for Witch Weekly.
A few days later, Shadow was out of danger and had awoken groggily. As soon as she was fit to talk, Headmistress McGonagall began to question her about whom had done the terrible deed.
"Neville Longbottom," she replied. "He told me Moody had performed it in class." Nobody missed Minerva's eyes narrowing. "It was for making his grandmother make him clean." She coughed.
Soon after that, Shadow was up and about when a red howler was delivered to one shocked Neville Franklin Longbottom.
"Neville Franklin Longbottom! Never have I before been ashamed to be your grandmother, even with your lousy scores last year, but NOW? How DARE you use the Blood-Loss curse on Shadow Lily Rosa Evans? I had heard that you had threatened her, and I punished you appropriately, but THIS goes beyond threats! I am coming to the castle tonight and I am NOT afraid to spank you in front of Miss Evans and the rest of the castle!
BEHAVE!"
With that, the howler burst into flame. The whole hall stared in horror at the red-faced, quivering boy. "I didn't do it," he said, but he was a lousy liar.
A few weeks later, when Neville's punishment had been decided (he would clean the whole castle, top to bottom, and then sort out all the papers in Filch's office), Minerva McGonagall announced The Tri-Wizard tournament was coming to Hogwarts. Everyone went wild. The Weasley twins tried to plan how to get in, along with half of the castle, while Snape took more points than ever, and everyone in Hufflepuff convinced Cedric Diggory to enter. Longbottom boasted around the castle about 'how he would enter and win'.
A few days later, the two other schools involved arrived: Durmstrang, which had the surly Viktor Krum, and Baxubeatons, which had the beautiful part veela Fleur Delacour. Miss Delacour was the younger sister of Callie Delacour, elder sister of Gabrielle. The Goblet of Fire was lit that night, followed by a spectacular feast. Shadow's new classes had also begun: she had followed Hermione's course and taken every class. Muggle Studies was a joke, along with Divination, but Care Of Magical Creatures, Runes and Arithmacy were very good classes. She was piled up with homework, but with her time turner, she managed it.
It was Halloween, Shadow's birthday and the night that the Champions would be revealed. The headmistress stood up and the Goblet turned red, a piece of paper floated out: it read Fleur Delacour. The second read Viktor Krum. The third was Cedric Diggory. And then the astonishing happened. A fourth name came out of the Goblet. It was Neville Longbottom's.
As far as the school knew, Longbottom had put his name in himself, even though he denied it. This continued on for a month, until the first task. The first task: Dragons.
