~Everything's Not What It Seems~
Alex and Justin are siblings sent to Hogwarts to learn about magic just like their father. There they meet new friends, fall in love, and find out that truly everything is not what it seems.

Harry's POV
It's been four days since Alex talked to me, four days since our kiss. I've tried and tried again to get a moment alone with her to talk about our kiss, but she always finds a way to get out of it. She avoids even being around Ron and Hermione so that she can avoid me, she's mostly been with Fred and George. I've asked Justin and he's told me that he hasn't been able to catch a moment with Alex either, but that's most likely because every spare moment he has, he's snogging Ginny. Which explains why Hermione and Ron haven't noticed Alex's behavior; Ron doesn't seem too happy about his little sister dating and Hermione tries to keep Ron from expressing his opinion.
"Harry, let's go! It's time for dinner!" I look up and see Hermione with her hands on her hips as she stands in front of the sofa I'm sitting on in the common rooms.
"Sorry, I lost track of time." I stand up and brush off the dirt on my robes. Hermione smiles as she heads towards the exit of the common rooms. I follow, pretending to listen to Hermione's drabble about Potions until we reach the Great Hall.
"The whole hall is already filled, but it looks like Ron saved a spot for us with Justin, Ginny, Alex, George, and Fred." My eyes shoot towards the end of the table where Alex usually sits. When I see an empty spot between Alex and Ron I start to walk faster. "You seem to be in a hurry to get to dinner now?" I look at Hermione and see her watching me with a raised eyebrow.
"You're right, there is little room left so I am trying to get a spot for myself." I smile at Hermione before heading towards the seat between Alex and Ron and sitting down. When I sit down I see Fred and George telling a story to the others.
"It was magnificent but Professor Snape docked us two-hundred points." Fred smiles before high-fiving George.
"That's not something you should be proud of." Hermione frowns as she takes a seat beside Ginny.
"YOU would say that Hermione." George says as he rolls his eyes.
"I think it would be a record but nothing Alex can't beat." I smile and look towards Alex. Her eyes meet mine for a brief moment before she turns her head and looks down at her plate.
"True, but that's also not something to be proud of." Justin shakes his head as he narrows his eyes at Alex. I'm about to say something more but the hall goes quiet as Professor Dumbledore walks up to the podium.
Alex's POV
I can't even get myself to look up since my eyes met Harry's before dinner. I just continued to stare at my plate while Dumbledore finished his speech. Even during dinner I couldn't get myself to look up or to join in on the conversation everyone was having. Harry tried to include me in the conversation a few times but I was relieved to see that Fred and George were in a talkative mood so they kept interrupting. Now all I want is this stupid choosing of champions to be over so I can return to my room and keep avoiding Harry. Harry. WHY did I kiss you? I have a boyfriend… and I… I like him… right?
As I am about to grab my fork from in front of me I am shocked to see that the table is completely cleared, I look up to see Dumbledore quieting down everyone in the hall. Stupid Triwizard tournament.
"Now the moment you've all been waiting for; the champion collection!" Dumbledore moves his arm around the room, dimming all the lights until they are completely off. When they are all off, he turns towards the Goblet of Fire and faces his palms against it. The fire of the goblet turns red before spitting out a small piece of paper. Dumbledore takes it and studies it before looking towards the Durmstrang kids.
"The Durmstrang champion is Victor Krum!"
The hall bursts into cheers, mostly those from the Durmstrang student. Victor shakes hands with a few of his friends before standing up and shaking hands with Dumbledore. Dumbledore motions him towards a door but he stops and scans the crowd. His eyes stop when he sees me, he smiles but turns his eyes a little before winking and turning around. I turn around and see Hermione blushing as she stares after him. I am about to ask Hermione about it when I hear the cheers die down.
The flames are pink this time as Dumbledore has his hands on the goblet. A fancier piece of paper flies out this time. Dumbledore catches it and faces the Beauxbatons girls as he reads it.
"The Beauxbaton champion is Fleur Delacour!"
Another burst of cheers come, quieter ones this time because Fleur is not famous like Victor Krum… who I didn't know was famous until I saw him at the match. Fluer also shakes hands with Dumbledore before going towards the door Victor just went through.
As soon as Fleur is gone, I look around and see the attention of the other Hogwarts students are immediately on Dumbledore. That can mean only one thing; it's time to announce the Hogwarts champion. I feel my heart drop a little at the thought. Did Cedric enter like he said he would? Or did he listen to me and not enter? If he did… I don't think I would be able to support him.
"The Hogwarts Champion… Cedric Diggory!"
This time a louder cheer bursts from around me. I feel my nails dig into my palms as I look up and see the figure immerge from the Hufflepuff dining table. He gets pats on the back and gives high-fives as he passes his classmates and smiles as he scans the room. How could he be smiling? He just got entered for his death! He just went off to do exactly what I almost begged him not to do! Does what I think and what I worry about not matter? I feel his eyes watching me from the podium but I don't look up, I look down at the floor and wait for the cheers to die down and the last champion to leave the room.
"Excellent! We now have three champions. By the end of this tournament, one of these champions will be recorded in history and will hold in his or her hand, the Triwizard Cup!" I look up as the gasps around me erupt. My eyes fall on a glass goblet being held by Mr. Crouch. All the fuss over this one item? Cedric would risk us for this?
Suddenly my view to the goblet is blocked by a black cape. I look up to see Snape walking towards Dumbledore with a worried look. I turn my attention towards what he's walking towards to see the Goblet of Fire going crazy as the flames begin to change colors and expand in size.
"What does that mean?" I hear Justin whisper beside me. In hearing his voice, panic runs through my body. Why does this worry me so much? Why do I have such a bad feeling about this? I don't even notice what I grab onto, but I grab onto something with both my hands and hold it tight. I watch as Dumbledore approaches the goblet and raises his hand. Two pieces of paper fly from the flames and land in his hand; he looks around in worry before reading both.
"Harry Potter and Justin Bl-Russo!"
I feel my heart completely shatter in hearing those two names. Harry Potter and Justin Black. They are going to be part of the Triwizard Tournament? They could die? This can't happen! It's a TRI-wizard tournament, last time I checked there were already THREE champions. So why was my brother and someone I care about so much also chosen?
"Harry Potter and Justin Russo!" I hear it again and I feel my head go a little light. This can't be happening.
"Harry, go!"
"I can't."
"Justin, get up."
"I can't!"
"Why?"
Before I can make out the voices of the question-askers or hear Harry and Justin's answers, I feel myself fall and everything goes black.
Justin's POV
I look at my sister who is now holding my hand like her life depends on it. What could be wrong now, all of a sudden? She has been so busy the past few days that she has no time for me and now she's grabbing onto my hand with such worry that I've never seen before in my life. I need to calm her down, she looks like she's about to have a complete emotional breakdown.
"Harry Potter and Justin Bl-Russo!"
I freeze when I hear my name. Why do I hear my name? And Harry's name? I look up to see Professor Dumbledore looking towards us with a serious expression as he holds two pieces of paper in his hands. That could only mean one thing… Harry and I are… but it can't be! I feel the grip on my hand tighten and I look at Alex to see the pain and shock on her face apparent. Alex? She looks so… broken.
"Harry Potter and Justin Russo!"
Wait! They can't really expect us to participate in this, can they? I look at Harry and see him also watching Alex with worry and then looking up at me.
"Harry, go!" Hermione whisper from across the table.
"I can't." I look at Harry and now notice Alex's other hand clutching onto his hand.
"Justin, get up." Ginny says as she takes my free hand.
"I can't." I look at both girls and see the confusion in their eyes as they look at us. I feel the hold on my hand loosen and a small emptiness start to fill me by the loss of my sister's hand.
"Alex!"
I look beside me and am shocked to see Alex unconscious as Harry supports him. Panic fills me as I support Harry in holding my sister. Gasps surround us and immediately we are surrounded by professors.
"Justin, Harry, follow Crouch to the back room. Severus, take Alex to the infirmary now. Ms. Granger and Ms. Weasley will accompany you."
Professor Dumbledore's commanding voice has everyone acting fast. I want to protest but when my eyes meet the headmaster's I gulp in fear and walk straight to the door the other three champions went through. The sound of all the panicky voices begin to fade and all I can hear is Harry's footsteps behind me. But I can't think about this tournament right now, about how Harry and I got entered and chosen, all I can think about is Alex. Will she be okay, why has she been avoiding me, and more importantly, what just happened to her?
HEY GUYS!
Another chapter of ENWIS, another chapter of surprises :)
Yeap, Justin AND Harry are going to be in the triwizard tournament.
I'm surprised no one guessed because I did mention that he would have a bigger role in this one.
But poor Alex :( Who is she gonna root for? Justin, Cedric, or Harry?
~R~R~R~
-SnowandJames4Eva- I'm sure its many people's fav chapter cuz its what everyone was waiting for :)
-HarryHermioneEdwardBella- They aren't together yet BUT they kissed and Alex is confused with her relationship. Hopefully that will lead to them being together, I don't know when yet but they will :)
-Dana1290- Sorry, again no Mikayla or Max. I didn't have anything for them since it was the champion announcement. Careful, don't be breaking expensive stuff. I'd freak if something happened to my laptop or flash drive, cuz my laptop has ENWIS and my flash drive had 'History'.
