~Time Skip brought to you by a Doctor kissing the girl in the fireplace~
(***Afternoon at Dinner***)
(Adi's POV)
As I shuffle into the hall with the other excited students, I glance around desperately for Fred, as Malfoy struts up to me.
"Hey," he says, trying to talk sexy but failing utterly.
"Um, can I help you," I turn around to face him, annoyed.
As he takes 3 big steps towards me, a bit too close, I feel myself become uncomfortable. As I slide back, I see two hands slam on the table, hard, the table cracking.
"What are you doing weasel," I hear the familiar voice of Freddy scarily sirius.
I scootch back, until I run into the figure that is Fred Weasley. Eventually, being as stupid as he is, Malfoy replies.
"What are you gonna do about it, it's not like she belongs to you or anything."
I interrupt before Fred could hit him, "well, in a way I do."
Malfoy looks momentarily confused before he leans in to (stupidly I might add) kiss me. Before his lips reach mine, (luckily) I hear the full extent of Frederick Weasley's anger.
He punches Malfoy arm and I hear a loud crack.
"I'M GONNA TELL MY DAD-" Malfoy begins but gets cut off by Fred.
"You go on and tell your Death Eater of a father, I dare you. But if you ever lay a single hand on her, so help me-" Fred begins and draws his wand.
"Wait, wait, wait." I say and Hermione trots over.
"FRED WEASLEY! WE DO NOT INJURE OTHER STUDENTS," she says.
"He deserves it," Fred says "for trying to kiss my new best friend!" he says, I cringe at the word, "friend."
"I'm sure he does, but when did that ever give you the right to harm other students?" she asks.
(Fred's POV)
Adi walks over to Hermione and whispers something to her. Hermione nods and then in my moment of confusion, Malfoy takes advantage of it by grabbing Adi's waist. I walk over to him and pull him off of her.
"WHAT PART OF 'DON'T TOUCH HER' DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!" I say and shake him violently.
Everyone around me shoots me looks of worry. As Malfoy goes to get up, I grab Adi and pull her into a hug. She melts into it almost immediately and as someone says we should "date already", Adi blushes bright crimson. Dumbledore comes in and tells us to all settle down. I place a lanky arm around Adi's small frame. People at every table were muttering about who would be chosen when Dumbledore spoke,
"Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision,"
he announced, " I believe it requires about one more minute."
He muttered something about going to some room when the hall hushed while the first name came out of the goblet,
"The champion for Durmstrang will be," he paused, "VICTOR KRUM!"
Soon all three of the champions had been announced and people continued to eat, however, the goblet was not done. A final piece of paper fell out of the goblet and into the hands of Dumbledore. The hall was silent as Dumbledore calmly announced,
"The fourth and fifth champions are, Harry Potter and Adéline Riddle-Evans."
(Adi's POV)
People gasped, Fred, who had his arm draped around my shoulders, glares at me and pushed me out of my chair, shooting me a glare I'd only seen him give to Malfoy, and Harry just rushes past me. I find myself ushered into the room as I black out.
..-..-.*.-..-..
When I awoke, in the hospital wing and found the calm eyes of Dumbledore. He began to speak.
"Do not be frightened (A/N She's just a Jedi, it's fine), Ms Riddle." he said.
"Please don't call me that." I told him.
"By your reaction, I assume you did not know." he says to me.
"No, I did not, thank you for telling me infront of everyone." I mutter.
"Well, you had to figure out eventually." he said. I stand up, and turn behind me as I begun to leave the room and said,
"Got to go to the… library, to study. You know, tests and stuff," calmly debating which bathroom to go cry in.
(TIME SKIP COURTESY OF THE FORCE AWAKENING)
(Harry's POV)
I walk into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom Hermione falling close behind. We wanted a place to practice the summoning charm, so we came here. As I hear sobs coming from a corner of the large bathroom, I see Hermione run towards the sound. It suddenly hits me it could be the Voldemort scum and I run to catch up with Hermione to protect her, Myrtle awakening in the process
"That isn't me." She tells us. We approach the crying ball of emotional mess in the corner, yep, it's her.
"Just leave me alone!" She yells at us.
"Gladly." I said and turn to leave.
"No," Hermione says and grabs my arm "What is the matter Adi?" she asks the emotional bag of rubbish.
"Like you guys actually care, I know Harry doesn't" she shoots me a glare with her puffy eyes.
"We both know he doesn't care, but I do, please just tell me what's wrong."
"Fine, I'll tell you. Everyone in the school thinks I'm a spy and hates me, but you know what?" she stands up. "I didn't know till he said!"
"I told you you bloody git!" Hermione said to me. I shrug.
"I didn't even know I was adopted!" She said to us.
"If you want some help with the tournament, we would be glad to help you." Hermione offered. She wipes her nose with her robe sleeve and nods.
"I'm so sorry Adi, I feel so bad…" I said to her. She looks away.
*TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY FOURTRIS*
(The Library)
(Hermione's POV)
We currently were in the library. Harry couldn't learn the summoning charm to save his life. Adi had reluctantly forgiven us and we had given her some food, after finding out she had been in the bathroom for 3 days. I was about to hit Harry on the head after summoning Crookshanks instead of the book when Fred entered and glared at Adi, who strunk in her seat. Fred was about to ask me something when I stood up and gave him my best death glare. That is when I began to yell.
