Prince's POV

The train to Hogwarts Prince spent half and half. He spent the first half of the journey with Hannah and Susan, the second half with Blaise, Pansy and Theo. He always enjoyed their company and the three were becoming quick friends.

"So, Prince, you know what's coming?" Nott asked, breaking the silence as they read. Prince nodded.

"Yes, I think it's good - They are bringing back the oldest tournament around. I have respect for anyone doing it," He explained. Theo raised his eyebrows.

"Would you not want eternal glory?"

Prince scoffed.

"Not a chance. Knowing my luck, I'll probably be forced into it some how." It had been on his mind all summer. Every year there was always something. And nearly always it involved him. He didn't express his concerns with his family, he didn't want to worry them.

"What makes you say that?" Pansy asked, Prince sighed.

"Second year - Chamber of Secrets, killed a basilisk. Voldemort planned the whole thing. Last year, Peter Petigrew. There's always something to do with HIM and this year, it's going to be bad." He explained quickly. By the looks on their faces, they didn't know half of what he was on about.

"You killed a basilisk when you were twelve?!" Blaise exclaimed, Prince just nodded.

"What did the Basilisk ever do to you?" Theo asked amusedly, Prince raised his eyebrows and grinned.

"Oh you know, just was trying to kill me at the time. I think her name was Anthea, or Sally. I didn't stop to ask," Blaise just looked at him wide eyes. Pansy chuckled out of shock.

"Prince, you never fail to surprise me"

Lucy's POV

"Is it just me, or has Will gotten so much hotter this year?" Meg whispered, excited. Lucy was tempted to roll her eyes, how she put up with her she never knew. The door opened and she saw Malfoy, on his own, looking worse for the wear. She raised an eyebrow.

"Can I have a word? Private?" He asked, his voice hoarse. Lucy nodded and turned to Meg,

"Sorry Meg, see you at the sorting?" Meg looked like she didn't want to go and leave her with a Malfoy, but after a death glare and an impatient kicking out of the compartment, Meg left to find Cedric and Will.

Lucy sighed as Malfoy came and sat next to her. She cast silencing spells and a privacy charm and finally let the teenager speak. He sighed, he got his wand out and she gasped as he removed a glamour. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks and there were strange marks on across his face, looking like...

"What happened, Draco?" She whispered, touching the marks softly.

"Voldemort came to the mansion, during the summer. He's just like he was as student, looks wise. He was angry, very angry with Lucius. The raids, the Chamber of secrets - somehow he found out about the Diary. He decided to punish him the only way he knew how. Destroy the perfect pureblood line," He croaked out, tears falling down his face.

"Lucius chucked me out after that. Blocked me from going back. Will disown me, most likely. I've been on the streets of London since. Luce, I'm sorry for being a prick all these years but I, I need help. And you're the only one I trust (for some reason, my wolf is telling me to talk to you)." He explained and she was speechless. She was right about her suspicions on Voldemort, looks like she would have to start planning earlier than she thought.

But right now, her first priority was Draco.

"First of, how are you hiding this from Dumbledork?" Draco's mouth twitched upward as he replied.

"You call him Dumbledork too? And Strong glamours all year round, I was thinking of using the room of requirements every full moon, but I need to think of excuses. I don't know how many Slytherin's have heard of my kicking out, I want to avoid them knowing for as long as possible. People will find out eventually."

She nodded, her brain working fast.

"I invented the nickname. But I see what you mean. This will be difficult, I'm prepared to help. This is what we should do -"

For the rest of the journey they started planning and she was glad that Draco had come to her. She made an oath not to reveal his secret to anyone and he made one to not reveal any of Lucy's secrets, she had to tell him about certain information, she revealed a little too much and this was the only thing she could do to make sure he wouldn't blab.

Draco would behave more withdrawn this year, without Crabbe and Goyle in his tow, still be the best in the lessons, just out of the way. With the Triwizard tournament everyone will be focused on, nobody would really pay attention to him.

They hugged as they parted and Lucy made her way to the carriages. She just missed one with Will, Meg, Cedric and another girl. Meg looked extremely happy and Luce saw with jealousy that so did Will. She'd have to get over her crush.

As she waited for the next carriage, she was joined by a Ravenclaw called Luna and Neville Longbottom along with Hermione Granger, accompanied by Ron Weasley. She sighed deeply.

"Don't worry Lucy King, help is always near," Luna said dreamily. Lucy blinked. A seer?

"Thank you Luna,"

"Lucy, why aren't you with Prince?" Hermione asked curiously. She fought the urge to roll her eyes as she replied.

"I'm not my brother's keeper. I'm not with him all the time," She said, Hermione nodded, understanding she wanted to be left alone. Unfortunately, Ron didn't seem to get that.

"You're always with him!" He exclaimed. "It's always you lot. Never let anyone else talk to him do you?" Lucy growled. She was not putting up with anyone's shit this year.

"Prince can talk to whoever he wants. Have you even made the effort to talk to him? No. Shut your mouth, Weasel, you don't know anything."

Not expecting it, Weasley managed to punch her in the nose. She didn't retaliate. Hermione pulled him back as her nose bled. She sniffed and got into the carriage, seeing the Threstal. She decided not to comment, knowing the others wouldn't see the beautiful creatures.

"I hope there's pudding," Luna commented. Lucy rolled her eyes. She just wanted her bed.

OoO

She had missed the sorting, got there in time to hear Dumbledork explaining about the tournament. She missed the looks of concerns from her house, with the blooded nose and the missing of the feast but she didn't make eye contact with anyone.

Then, the ceiling fell apart, letting the rain come in. Nobody saw the doors open with one Alastor Moody, who waved a wand, wordlessly fixed the roof. He walked slowly up to Dumbledore, making an entrance for himself. She heard Cedric explain that he was a dark wizard capturer, one of the best. As Moody sat down, Dumbeldork got their attention again and introduced the first school - Beauxbatons.

There was only a few, twenty at the most. The ladies clearly had veela blood, all of the boys (apart from Prince, Malfoy and obviously the teachers) seemed to be charmed by there presence. The butterflies, the dance, the sheer beauty of them all. Not to mention the Headmistress, who had to be a half giant, there was no other explanation to how big she was.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Dumbldork kissed her hand and lead her to the teachers table where two extra seats had been added, one next to Hagrid and the other next to Professor Snape.

Next, the Durmstrang students opened the door with a bang, quite literally. With the boys doing flips and tricks with walking sticks or something having fire, making them seem more intense then they actually were. As the group finished flipping and one guy had fire from his mouth, the Headmaster and a student marched in. She heard Weasley gasp and then say loudly to Seamus Finnigan,

"It's him, Vicktor Krum!"

Hermione seemed vaguely interested at the announcement as everyone settled down. The Beauxbatons students sitting with the Ravenclaws, The Durmstrangs sitting with the Slytherin's, not far from Ed and Draco, she noticed.

Crouch entered with something following behind him, it was stone, very beautiful carvings, she recognised it as the Goblet of fire.

"For your safety, you have to be seventeen or over to enter this tournament!" Crouch shouted and there were cries of outrage. The Weasley twins in particular. She grinned when Dumbldork shouted for silence. He looked angry and that made her happy.

"Let the tournament, BEGIN!"

A/N - Well, even I'm shocked. What do you guys think about Draco and Lucy as a romantic pairing? just a thought. Maybe we should vote, Lucy and Will or Lucy and Draco? Feel free to pass on your opinions. I actually like how this chapter went, I can't wait for the excitement to start.
