Double digits! WOOHOO! *parties* lol.

So I've looked through some of my earlier chapters seeing first, a few spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, missing words and words I wrote instead of ones I was supposed to write. So I do apologise for this, I'll be much more careful when editing. And second, I've made Sirius too slushy of a dad with Lydia I think. So pumpkin shall not be used again (shudder – what was I thinking?) I toe the line at princess occasionally :) anyway I'll stop blabbing on and start actually writing the chapter for you all.

Also I know I said I'd like 3 reviews but I felt bad for making you wait so long for the last chapter so I'm proving my niceness :L Also thank you to everyone who added my story to alerts/favourites

DISCLAIMER: I'm too lazy to try and think of something creative for this so JKR owns all except Lydia, her mother and I dunno possibly her owl ;)

Chapter 10

"Lydia? Wake up!" Hermione hissed quietly, making Lydia look at her alarm clock and groan.

"Mione have you any idea what time it is?" Lydia yawned.

"Yeah I know it's early but I wanted to ask you a few things before breakfast so go get ready?" Hermione said kindly. Lydia merely rolled her eyes and dragged herself out of her nice warm bed and into the shower. After half an hour she and Hermione were all ready for the day and sitting in the empty common room. "Right so where were you last night? Ron and I do notice these things you know" Hermione smirked.

"With Harry, in the astronomy tower," Lydia replied stifling yet another yawn.

"And what happened?" Hermione asked.

"We were just talking...and he asked me out!" Lydia exclaimed.

"Wow! Really?" Hermione smiled brightly, happy for her best friend.

"Yeah" Lydia smiled even wider than Hermione.

October 30th 1994
(If my years are right for their fourth year, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

"Now I want you all on your best behaviour, you are representing our school and we do not want our reputation tarnished." Professor McGonagall told the students of Hogwarts for what seemed like the millionth time that day, as they all crowded the grounds, awaiting their guests. The students of Beaubaxtons came first, in a ginormas horse drawn carriage. Durmstrang arrived not ten minutes later in a huge boat. Everyone made their way to the Great Hall, the ladies of Beaubaxtons and gentlemen of Durmstrang settled themselves most at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables, their Headmistress/Headmaster sitting with the teachers at their table. Ron began to sulk a little as he saw Malfoy sat across from and talking to none other than Viktor Krum. The Hall silenced quickly as Professor Dumbledore stood and began to speak, "A warm welcome to the students of the Beaubaxtons Academy of Magic and their Headmistress, Madame Maxime and the students of Durmstrang and their Headmaster, Igor Karkaroff! Now, we are all gathered here now for the Triwizard Tournament. There are three champions, one from each house, who compete with each other for eternal glory for themselves, their school and for the Triwizard cup!" The students cheered loudly at this, until Dumbledore raised a hand for silence. "Now for your safety we have had to change the rules slightly. The main rule you all need to know now is that you may only enter the tournament if you are of age." Gesturing to the huge goblet that had been placed behind him he continued, "This is the goblet of fire. To enter the tournament, you merely have to write your name and school on a piece of parchment and throw it in the goblet. You have until before dinner tomorrow night to enter your name and we will pick our champions after the Halloween feast. I must warn you however; this competition is not for the faint hearted. Now off to bed!" All the students in the hall were muttering and whispering about the tournament. "So the twins are obviously going in for it, any of you?" Lydia joked as they ascended the many stairs up to the 7th floor.

"I wouldn't mind, if they find a way to do it." Ron said seriously. "What bout you Harry?"

"Nah, I'd like a drama free year thanks. Not to mention I'd be murdered by my mum..." Harry replied, making Hermione and Lydia laugh and agree. They finally got to the Gryffindor common room and went also straight to their dormitories after several goodbyes.

The next day they found out that a lot of their school had already entered, including Cedric Diggory and Angelina Johnson, as well as several underage students who came out with magnificent beards, including Fred and George which had everyone amused for the next ten minutes.

By the time the feast began the quartet was majorly bored. It had been a very cold Saturday and with the common room so noisy and crowded they had aimlessly wandered around the school for hours. Everyone in the hall seemed to be eating rather quickly, eager to find out who the champions were. Eventually Dumbledore stood up and told them that the Goblet should be ready to tell them the first champion in a moment or two and just a minute later a piece of parchment was spat out and floated carefully into the Headmasters hand. "The Durmstrang champion is...Viktor Krum!" Nearly everyone in the room cheered as he went into the room behind the staff table as instructed, and a second piece of parchment was released from the Goblet. "The champion from Beaubaxtons is...Fleur Delacour!" Again the schools cheered loudly as Fleur followed Viktor out of the Great Hall. The final piece of parchment flew out of the Goblet and the last champion was revealed, "The Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory!" Cedric got the loudest reaction from the hall as he walked out of the room. "Now we have our three..." Dumbledore started but was distracted as another piece of parchment landed in his grasp. "Harry Potter..." He muttered then clearing his throat he repeated, louder, "Harry Potter!" Harry, Lydia and Hermione mirrored looks of shock, as the girls pulled their friend to his feet where he slowly walked up to the Headmaster and to the room where the rest of the champions were. Lily seemed to look both upset, shocked and annoyed all at the same time, which Dumbledore's face seemed emotionless. "To bed everyone, please." Dumbledore said, going over to the rest of the staff who immediately let him lead the way to the room behind them.

(A/N – Since we know what happens with Harry I'm writing Hermione and Lydia's thoughts)

Lydia, Hermione and Ron walked to the common room in silence and quickly decided to sit in Ron's dormitory, to avoid the twin's party for Harry. "I wonder how Harry's name got in there... Could it of been some cruel joke?" Lydia asked, clearly worried.

"No I don't think so...his name must've been put into a fourth category...but there wasn't one...someone's tampered with the Goblet" Hermione replied, lost in thought.

"Look don't you think that's a bit farfetched?" Ron snapped moodily.

"Well what do you suggest?" Lydia retorted.

"Nothing...it doesn't matter. Anyway I'm going to bed, so if you don't mind..." Ron mumbled. Hermione and Lydia waved their goodbyes, and went to their own dormitory.

"Something's up with Ron" Lydia stated, and Hermione just nodded, very tired herself. As Lydia shoved her hair up quickly she noticed Hermione had already started to nod off. Smiling at her friend she just turned the light off and got into her own bed, falling asleep just as quickly.

A/N – Well I know its short but I think that was a good a place as any to stop so it'll be longer next time.

So at least 2 reviews please or I'll not post the next chapter next week :) love you all!

Love Abi
