BACK TO JASMINE :)
"Jasmine did you find your show yet?" Hermione asked from somewhere on the other side of the room.
"Nope not yet." I said popping up from under my bed. I couldn't find any shoes to wear and my date was in 3 minutes. lovely.
"FORGET THIS! I'm Taking Emilys!" I said walking down the steps with my hand up when a pair of converse flew in.
"Are you sure she won't mind?" Hermione said from behind.
"I don't even know where she is so hopefully she won't see me or find out. Now I'll meet you in the great hall afterwards alright?" I said before we split ways. i was rushing down the steps and stopped before i went any father. I still had my uniform on because it was still during the day so i didn't have to worry about my outfit for the date. Vary nice for me. I was about to get to the doors when i saw Shane standing there. I slowly walked over and he looked up at my foot steps and broke into a smile.
"Hey there stranger." He said with a smile.
"Hi." I said with a smile back. He lead the way to the lake where a little picnic was set up. On our walk he asked me about my classes and told me about his.
"Wow Shane its so nice!" i said sitting down.
"It was nothing. Just wanted to do something special for us." He said before handing me a butter bear.
"So tell me hows Professor Lupin doing these days?" He said casually handing me a sandwich.
"Hes pretty good, I believe hes looking for a new job right now." I said quietly.
"Oh is it hard?" He said surprised.
"Well not when the world knows your a wearwolf its not. The discrimination he faces is un real sometimes. Its not like he doesn't have control." I said more.
"Oh ya i forgot about that. What was it like living with him then on a full moon?" Shane said before finishing his butter bear.
"Not to bad, but then again we aren't ever home for it. We always go somewhere else at his request." I said a little uncomfortable I'm really not use to sharing this information to people. Its strange. It was really quite when Shane pulled out this small little plate of red velvet cupcakes.
"Oh i love those who told you about this?" I said taking one and biting into it letting the memories of another time fill me.
"Umm a elf made a suggestion in the kitchen." Shane said a little sheepishly.
"These use to be my mums favorite. It was s ecret recipe." I said with a smile. Shane looked over and got a sympathetic look on his face. yuck.
"Oh i'm sorry. didn't know." Shane said sitting next to me closer. Which reminded me that ya he does. I told him that forever ago. WE sat there and did some more little chit chat Till i started to look over the sky now. "Well I think i should be getting inside soon for some homework." I said getting up while Shane put everything away.
"You watching the champions later?" He said walking in with me.
"Maybe, Depends on where Hermione wants to do homework." I said walking in. We stopped at the main stair case and stood awkardly for a moment.
"It was a nice time Shane, Thank you vary much." i said looking up.
"I did too. See you later?" He said a little hopeful.
"See you later." I said with a smile that was elated when he kissed my cheek. I started walking towards the hall towards the bench and sat down. I didn't even notice when someone else sat next to me.
"Well theres the stranger i miss seeing." I heard Cedric say next to me.
"Hey there." I said spacing a bit.
"So whats with the giant smile? i know you missed me and all But Jasmine i got my eyes on someone else sorry." He said with a chuckle.
"I just got back from a wonderful date." I said with a smile looking at him now.
"Oh well i didn't know you two got together so fast. Good job." Cedric said with a smile.
"You knew about Shane?" i said giving him a funny look.
"Shane? Shane Jackson?" He said a little embarrassingly.
"Well ya. Who did you think i was talking about?" I said with a small laugh. Lucky for Cedric Hermione and Ron came in.
"I got to get going, Watching the selection tonight?" He said as he walked away.
"Of course, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you." I said holding up my hands with fingers crossed. Cedric laughed and walked out towards some friends of his.
"So how was it?" Hermione said sitting next to me.
"Oh Hermione, It was great." I started with we sat there talking and then i got us our homework to finish up, which gave Ron a mini freak out attack but relaxed to finish transfiguration.
"Wheres Harry at by the way?" I said after a little bit of looking up.
"Last i saw Wood was talking to him about something i think." Ron said throwing aside his work. "Can we take a break?" He said pleading with Hermione.
"I second that." I said looking at Hermione who was glaring a bit.
"FIne, So how are classes going?" Hermoine was stating before someone sat next to me.
"Hello again." Shane said with a smile. I looked at him then at Hermione who raised an eye brow.
"Oh sorry Shane this is Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, two of my best friends. Guys this is Shane Jackson a fifth year Ravelclaw." I said introducing them. Every nodded or said hi as loud voices came in. Cedric was pushed to the front of a crowd and put his name into the Goblet. All of the students from Hogwarts cheered with him. He looked over at me with a shy smile which i held up my fingers crossed for him. As Cedric left he waved by.
"Friend of yours?" Shane asked. "Ya, i met him this summer at the Cup, pretty cool friend." I said trying to state friends in there. It got really quite when Harry Walked in because behind him, Victor Krum walked in and threw his name into the Goblet. He bowed to me as he walked by but kept his eyes on Hermione a while with a slight smile.
"OH oh oh, Hermione Victor Krum was checking you out." I said pushing her. Shane and me were laughing at her burning cheeks while Ron went off to Harry. I sat there spacing off as more students put their names into the goblet.
"Hey I'm gonna go study for a bit in the library see you later." Shane sad getting up.
"See ya." I said as he left. I was about to get up and follow him opposite till the weasley twins barged in.
"Oh Jasmine,"
"Are you-"
"-sure that you don't wanna-"
"-help us enter the contest?" Fred finished for them on my sides.
"I'm pretty sure i'm good with my position." I said with a smile. Both boys jumped up and took their age potions.
"Be careful guys. The age line was drawn by Dumbledore." I said. Both boys shrugged and walked in anyways. When nothing happened they put thier names into the goblet which threw them out of the circle.
Everyone circled around the boys fighting with growing beards. I sat back laughing because the beards were my idea. I saw Dumbledore walk by the doors and double back with a smile on his face so i jumped up to see him.
"I told you The twins would still try." To him when i got over.
"You were correct ." He said with a smile. Eventually one student saw us talking and stopped till eventually the others moved away for us to see the twins rolling on the ground.
"Well boys you do seem to have nice beards coming in." Dumbeldore said with a smile while the boys stopped rolling and got up immediateness.
"I'm sure if you went to Madame Pomfery she can take care of them but then again. I do like them." He said with a chuckle. The boys started walking out laughing their butts now.
Dumbledore looked around cheerfully and started to walk out.
" would you help me with something." He said to me before walking away.
"umm sure." I said coming with him.
"I just wanted to let you know that Emily will be gone till tonight before you go looking for her. So is Sargy." He said looking ahead.
"Oh is there something i need to know?" I said a little suspiciously.
"Not that i know of, but you can always ask her when she gets back." He said silently as a few students walked by. I don't know why but i kept walking with him for a bit till he asked what i was worried about.
"Is there something else you'd like to tell me?" Dumbledore said looking down at me.
"Sir, I've been having a dream." I started. I just realized we were close to his office again when he made me jump a bit at his voice.
"What kind of dream Jasmine? Lemon drops." We walked into his office The door wasn't even closed when i started at him.
"I keep seeing 4 in the stars. and i keep hearing a snake hiss and someone say my name." I said with a frown. Dumbeldore kept a straight face but thought things through.
'Sir, I need to get going to find them." I said standing up.
"Yes go ahead, I'll let you know if i need you." Dumbledore said as i walked out. I kept walking till i was about to step into the hall when Sargy appeared next to me.
"Oh hey i was about to look for you." I said turning towards him.
"Just rub your bracelet silly. Its not just a fashion statement." He said with a laugh. "How was your date?" He asked a little to happily.
"Umm how- never mind! Really good actually" I said with a smile as we kept on walking.
"Sargy?" I said as we sat on some stairs.
"Hum?"
"You'd tell me if you were hiding something wouldn't you?" I said watching his face for a Flickr of deception.
"Sure, thats silly to ask that." He said with a relaxed smile. Which tipped me off right away. Something happened and it wasn't a little thing either. Sargy was smart but i was smarter sometimes than him and i was determined to find out what it was. I didn't know how big or significant this could be. He could truly be trying to mess with me as a small joke for himself i mean we really have to bore him by this point. He has no life outside of me and Emily and i feel bad for it a lot of the time. But then again i knew he was trying to side track me with out me knowing what he was doing. I knew one thing for sure though was i couldn''t let him know i was on to them.
DINNER~
"It is time to announce the champions!" Dumbledore said as i stood up with Emily and walked behind the teachers.
"Do you want to escort and ill listen?" Emily said as i waited.
"I guess but i have a bad feeling right now." I said voice my mind in over drive right now. Emily frowned ed as i Heard Krums name shouted with lots of cheering and chanting of his name. Krum looked confused as he came around till i waved him over and he smile a shade.
"Come on this way Krum and congrats." I said with a smile as we walked to a sitting area.
"Vank you vary much." He said as he stood in front of the fire. I turned to walk out again and waited for the next. AS soon as i was out there the cheering started again as Fleur Delacor came towards me. The second she saw me she bowed before me then stood up.
"This way Fleur, Krum is already back here. Someone will be here shortly to talk to you guys." I said as i opened the door. Krum didn't look away from fire as Fleur joined him looking into it. I walked back over to the other door where the loudest shouting was. I'm assuming out Champion was picked. What i didn't expect was Cedric Diggory to be walking towards me.
"Cedric? You were picked?" I asked as we started walking.
"Umm ya i guess." He said with a nervous smile. He walked into the room and didn't bother to look at anyone. I was about to say Something to Emily when i felt my heart plummet to my stomach.
"HARRY POTTER." Dumbledore said loudly. I looked at Emily with panic in my eyes as she rushed to Snape to get details I waited for Harry and walked him back and gave him a hug.
"Harry he wasn't calling your name from the goblet was he?" I asked. Harry was too nervous and choked to say anything but nodded.
We walked silently back to the room where the three champions now four stood. The three looked at us silently.
"Harry i need you to tell me the truth did you do it?" I asked a little scared of what i would hear.
"I swear i didn't do it Jasmine i mean, i don't even know how it got in there." I looked at his face for any sign of deception but couldn't find any. It wasn't even a moment longer before the door banged open and there were shouts. I pushed
Harry back and behind me hoping to hide him from sight of some of them.
"how can tis be? E' es Just a boy." Madame Maxiume said coming in. Fudge walked in a second later quite for once. Emily slipped in behind him and was at my side in an instant. I was looking between everyone fighting when Dumbeldore came up to us. I moved aside from Harry for them to talk. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
"Harry i need you to to be honest. Did you put your name into the goblet or ask an older student.?" Dumbledore said calmly.
"No i didn't put my name in or ask someone."
"He es lying. why vould he tell the truv?" Madmade Manie said loudly.
"Minister there must be something we can do. The boy can't compete." Mcgonnel said walking in.
"I'm afraid he has to. Its a magical binding contract once his name comes out of there." Fudge said gravely.
"Then the only fair thing is to let our schools have one more champion." Karkaroff said stepping forward but shrinking back when Sargy was next to us.
"I'm afraid the cup won't relight till its called upon for the next competion. Which can't happen till this is over with." I said to him with a small frown.
"Then one of them had to have put his name in there!" He said pointing at us.
Sargy looked furious. " Karkaroff i'm positive they know not to abuse their position they have here." Moony said to him loudly. I looked over at Harry who looked worried but i smiled while the adults were yelling more.
"You okay Harry?" I said looking at a little worried.
"I'm doing fine i guess but i'm worried about you two." He said gesturing to me and Emily.
"Harry we didn't do anything so there isn't anything for you two worry about." Emily said with a smile.
" Harry i know you better than that. You can tell me the truth." I said with a smile.
"I'm just surprised for now. When that feeling wears off i'll be scared more than likely." Harry said looking down.
"Harry." I said looking him in the eyes. "I know this is really a scary thing thats happening but you don't have to worry. I'lll be here for you through this and i'm sure Hermione and Ron will too. You're not alone in this at all. I can help you out as much as i can." I said with a smile looking at Harry. It seemed like for a moment it was just us and the adults weren't around us fighting. Emily and Sargy weren't even there. It was just Harry and I standing there. We both looked at each other and my eyes probably matched his with fear and hopefulness. Dumbledores words brought us both out of our trance.
"Its settled Hogwarts has two champions as of tonight. will be competing. I think we should let them all go to bed now." Dumbledore said with a straight face. Everyone started to leave the room but i stayed behind in the door way for a bit.
"I'll meet you guys at the towers if its bad for Harry Tonight then let me know some how." I said as Sargy nodded and walked away. I stood there for 10 more minutes before Karkaroff and Madame Maxime left finally. I walked in behind them To see Barty, Snape, Mcgonnel, Fudge and Dumbledore left.
"Ahh Jasmine, Do you know what happened?" Dumbeldore said as i sat next to Snape.
"Sir i don't really know i think i.." I said letting my sentace trail off before i realized four. What i was seeing all week long. The start to it all. four.
"Jasmine?" Barty said trying to bring me as Snape tried to nudge me with a look of worry on his face.
"sir, Four its four." I said with fright on my face. Suddenly Dumbledore figured it out and i saw a hint of fear in his face.
"Well i need to get going, See you tomorrow Minister, Good evening All and Princess." he said with a small bow and walked out of the room.
"What are you two going on about four?" Fudge said sitting on a chair.
"I have been seeing that four will start it all Minister. Four is how Voldemort is coming back." I said with a brave face. It was silent for a moment before he spoke again.
"I mean no disrespect your highness, But Voldemort isn't coming back. He is gone and will not return." Minister said with his nose in the air.
"I'm sorry Minister i will take Disrespect to that. Voldemort is coming back unless you do something to stop it now." I said standing up looking at him. Fudge started at me and was about to open his mouth but someone else beat him to it.
"Maybe you should be getting to bed ." Dumbledore said with a small smile. I smiled and waved and walked back to the common room. I wish i could hope it was all okay in there but i could feel the ice from outside the door. The fat lady looked at me a second before asking.
"Is it True?" I just nodded as she went on about Harry being a young boy what i walked in to see was even worse than i could imagine. Harry and Ron glaring at each other. Sargy was on the side wall and Emily was on the stairs with Ginny. I walked in slowly before Ron could see me too.
"There you are. Jasmine why couldn't you help me get in? I know you like Harry and everything but i thought we were friends." Ron said with a glare.
"Excuse me? Who said i helped him get in or and of course i like Harry as a friend but i thought you were my friend too. Harry didn't put him name into there and neither did i Ron." I said with a frown walking towards Harry. Ron took a step towards me but Sargy was in front of me already Fred was right behind Ron ready to get him if necessary.
"Ronald, you need to go and cool off." I said while walking over to the couch and throwing my head into the air. I heard Ron go up the stairs and Harry walk over to me and sit next to me on the couch.
"Are you okay Harry?" i said with my eyes closed.
"Been better, You?
"Been better." I said smiling to myself. I just sat there with Harry listening to people all around me. We both had so much on our minds and yet they were completely different and the same at the same time. On Harry's mind probably had the tournament. Who put him in it and what will happen now. Will him and Ron be friends again?
On my mind i had the tournament too. Who would want Harry in this tournament and what will they get out of this? Now that i knew that this was four, how would this affect Voldemort Coming back? When would this war happen again? There was just so much on my mind. I only woke up when Sargy came over.
"Jasmine, Shane is at the portrait for you." Sargy said walking up stairs. I got up and went out to see him leaning against the wall. "Hey." i said standing in front of him.
"Hey i just wanted to ask you something. Please don't be mad but did you put Harry's name into the cup?" he asked with a small frown. I instantly got mad.
"No Shane, Why would I want to put my best friend into a game that could kill him?" i asked him with a little acid in my voice.
" I didn't think you would but i just had to check you know." He said as i drifted to a window and looked out at the forest.
"I get it Shane, Its alright. Is that all you needed?" I asked turning to him.
"No there was another one." He said with a smile which i looked confused at. He pulled out a dozen roses from his back.
"Humm I do love Magic." I said with a laugh taking them as he put his wand away.
"I was wondering if you'd like to be my Girlfriend?" he asked nervously. I just smiled and smelled the roses making him wait for what i hoped was an easy answer.
"I'd love to." I said as i stood on my tippy toes and kissed him on the lips. For my first real kiss i guess i could say there was some sparks like it says in the movies. I pulled away and both of our faces had matching Big smiles on them.
"Night Jasmine, Meet you here tomorrow for breakfast?" Shane said as he pulled away.
"Of course. Night." i said turning into the common room. Harry was gone already and no one was around. I sat down on the couch smiling but couldn't help the little voice in my head that was whispering no. I sat there looking into the fire more and decided i needed answers. So I brought paper down stairs.
Dear Remus,
And i wrote down everything i was feeling now and that had happened. I didn't bother sending dad a duplicate because i knew Harry would send him one eventually. I put the letter in my bag upstairs figuring i'll send it off in the morning.
