Tensions raised up in me when the boy mentioned his name. Draco Malfoy. my parents Harry, Ron, and Hermione warned me about this kid. They said that he was nothing but trouble and bullied anybody any chance he gets.
He still kept his tight grip on my arm as he spoke up, "well Lana Potter. next time you run into me your gonna pay for it. Your lucky I'm not gonna hurt you this time" Draco said. "back off Malfoy" A voice said.
I turned my head around to see my parents Harry, Ron and, Hermione who were all glaring at Draco not happy to see him. "let our daughter go now Draco or things wont be pretty" Harry warned Draco.
Draco sneered at Harry and let go of my arm roughly and pushed me to the ground. Ron and Hermione caught me before I landed on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ron asked me. "yeah Im okay dad" I said. "You better keep control of your daughter before she causes any trouble in the school" Draco said sneering again.
Harry was about to have a go with Draco but Hermione and Ron held him back before he could do anything.
"See you later Potter" Draco said as he left. Ron and Hermione let go of Harry. Then a girl with blond hair and brown eyes approached us.
"is everything alright?" She asked us. "yeah were fine thanks" Hermione said. "Thats good. Hey your new here. whats your name?" She asked me.
"Im Lana Potter" I said. "Lana Potter. very interesting. I read about you in the daily prophet. It says that Harry, Ron, and Hermione adopted you. I would like to get to know you more" She said with a kind smile.
"Lana this is Luna Lovegood. she is a friend of ours" Harry said. "hello Luna" I said with a smile.
"Can I hang out with Luna for a bit?" I asked my parents. "Sure. we will come get you when the train is almost to Hogwarts" Harry said.
"thanks dad" I said. then Luna let me to the compartment that she was sitting in. When we sat down I asked her,
"what is the daily prophet?" I asked. "its the news in our world. it helps us know whats going on around here" Luna said. she handed me a paper of the daily prophet.
I looked at the news and saw a shocking thing. the Images were moving! "woah" I said my breath taken away.
"the images move in our world too" Luna said. I then looked at the head title that says Triwizard tournament happening this year.
I was very curious as to what that is so I asked Luna about it and Luna was telling me all about it. as we were talking I felt a strange connection towards Luna.
I never felt this feeling before. what was it? was it love? there was no way I could be in love with Luna. Scar strictly forbids me to love another person then him.
a while of me and Luna talking the compartment door opened and and my Niece Axane, my best friend Nala, and my mom Uru came in.
"hey Aunt Lana" Axane said. "hello Axane" I said. "looks like you made a new friend Lana" Uru said. "Yeah I did mom" I said.
Luna was very confused when I called Uru my mom so I explained everything to her and she understood it well. "We wanted to tell you that the train is arriving to Hogwarts in Ten minutes" Nala said.
"thanks Nala" I said. "your welcome" Nala said.
A few minutes later the train arrived at Hogwarts. I never seen anything like this before. My parents led me to the place where they were welcoming the new guests for the triwizard tournament.
I was amazed at what I saw. Flying horses were pulling a fancy carriage and a giant ship came up in the waters. My eyes beamed with delighted as of what I was seeing. The new guests were making a grand entrance with their flying horses pulling the fancy carriage and the ship that was coming out of the waters.
"Thats something you don't see everyday" Ron said as he was watching. Then after they made their entrance Harry, Ron, and Hermione led me to where the first years were going.
then we stopped and first years were crowding around a doc with small boats in the waters and a big man with a big beard walked up to us.
"hello Harry, Ron, Hermione" He said with a friendly greeting. "what are you three doing here, you should be in the great hall" Hagrid said.
"were just dropping off our daughter" Hermione said. "Lana this is Hagrid he is another friend of ours" Ron said.
"Hello Lana nice to meet you" Hagrid said. "Hello" I said. "Can you make sure our daughter gets to the great hall okay?" Harry asked.
"of corse, Lana fallow me" Hagrid said. I was nervous because as soon as I get to the great hall I would be sorted into my house.
"Your gonna be okay Lana" Hermione said reassuring me. they must have sensed my nervousness. "we will be watching you from our house table" Ron said.
I then hugged my parents. after we hugged they started walking. "good luck Lana" Harry called as they walked away.
Then I got into the boats with the first years. I sat in a boat with Hagrid since my parents wanted to make sure I get in the great hall okay.
a while later we were outside the doors of the great hall and a lady with green and black clothing and a witches hat stood in front of the doors.
"hello students my name is professor Mcgonagall. Now you will be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Huffulpuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. any rule breaking house points will be taken away and triumphs will earn you points" Professor Mcgonagall said.
"I will be back in a moment" Professor Mcgonagall said. I looked around at the students and they all seemed jelouse of me. "hey freak, how come you aren't wearing your uniform!?" A student next to me said.
I stared at him my mined blank. I couldn't tell him that I was afraid to wear uniforms because of what happened with my job.
"Are you too poor to afforded one!?" The student mocked. Some of the students joined in laughing. I felt tears threatening to fall down my face.
Then the student slapped me in the face. "whatever you do don't talk to us. your to poor to be hanging out with us" The student said.
"I am not poor!" I said. "whatever. just don't talk to us" The student said. then a moment later professor Mcgonagall appeared.
"We are ready for you now" Professor Mcgonagall said. then the great hall doors opened and we all walked in and I was amazed. the sealing was a night sky with candles floating in midair.
As we were walking towards the staff table I saw my parents Harry, Ron, and Hermione. they smiled and waved at me and I waved back.
I then saw my family sitting with my parents at the Gryffindor table. we then stopped in front of the stool and the staff table.
then the sorting process started. one by one the students were sorted into their houses. At last they called my name,
"Lana Potter!" Professor Mcgonagall shouted. people gasped at my name. for some reason my name really surprised them. My whole body was shaking with fear and nervousness. I then walked up to the stool, sat down and faced the school.
I could see my parents and my family watching me. Then professor Mcgonagall placed the sorting hat on my head.
"Lana Potter. yes daughter of the famous Harry Potter" The sorting hat said. people gasped and whispers were going around.
What!? why was my dad so famous? I was so confused now. "Now where to put you. hm this is a tough one" The sorting hat said.
"Not Slytherin" I prayed in my mined. "not Slytherin eh? You could to great in Slytherin. I almost put your dad in Slytherin but I choose to put him in Gryffindor" The sorting hat said.
everyone had their eyes on me now as the sorting hat was figuring out where to put me. "please anything but Slytherin" I whispered praying again.
"well if you don't want me to put you in Slytherin then it better be... GRYFENDORE!" The hat bellowed. I sighed with relief and smiled.
the whole school was cheering for me as I went down to the Gryffindor table and and sat down next to my mom Hermione and my husband Scar.
my parents and my family were congratulating me. after a while food appeared on the table. I never seen anything like this.
I was about to help myself to some fried chicken drumsticks when Scar grabbed hold of my arm. "Your forbidden to eat Lana. You did not return to me for the rest of the train ride" Scar said.
"Scar please can't she eat? she sometimes doesn't eat for days because you starve her and shes probably starving right now" Uru said with pleading look in her eyes.
My dad Ahadi who too looked angry with Scar was glaring at him. Scar thought for a moment. then he said,
"Fine. she can eat today but she gets no food tomarrow. and Lana you will be punished tonight" Scar said. Tears were threatening to fall down my face again.
Hermione then pulled me into a hug. "Shh its okay you can eat as much as you want. And I will make sure that you will get food tomarrow" Hermione said in a whisper.
"thanks mom" I said. I then with shaking arms helped myself to some food. I filled my plate with fried chicken drumsticks, corn, steak, bacon, pasta and a bunch of other food.
Scar wasn't too happy with me eating but I finished the food on my plate with within 15 minutes. I was starving so thats why I was eating fast.
then a while later desserts appeared on the table. I helped myself to some cake, Ice cream, Cookies and a bunch of other goodies.
I cleared my plate within 15 minutes as well. I was so tired after eating that I rested my head on Hermione's shoulder.
I never had so much food in my life. After a while of us feasting professor Dumbledore spoke up, "Now that we are settled in and sorted we would like for you to welcome our new guests madam Maxies students" Professor Dumbledore said.
then female girls in blue clothing walked in with a tall woman standing behind them. they bowed to us as they walking in the room and blue butterflies fluttered around them. we all clapped as they got to where the staff tables were.
then a moment later the doors swung open again and boys with brown clothing with a man walking behind them. they were doing cool tricks as they walked in and playing some upbeat music. I was amazed by their performance
then a man with a serious face and the same brown clothing walked in. my dad Ron was freaking out as he saw him.
"Hermione, thats Viktor Krum!" Ron cried. I was confused as to what Ron was talking about. The as they too reached the staff table professor Dumbledore spoke up again,
"now then about the triwizard tournament. Anyone who wishes to submit their name in the Goblet of fire may do so but once you do there is no going back. They will perform three dangerous tasks. now the minister of magic will explain some rules to the triwizard tournament" Professor Dumbledore said.
then the professors revealed a blue goblet that said the words Goblet of Fire on it. Then the minister of magic walked to the front of the stage.
"for their own safety students under 17 will not be allowed to compete in the triwizard tournament. This is for their own safty" The minister of magic said.
People were booing and shouting when they heard this. "THATS RUBBISH! THATS RUBBISH!" my Uncles Fred and George yelled.
then the thought hit me. I can compete in the tournament since I am 17 and Im old enough. "Im gonna submit my name in the goblet" I said as people were still booing. "Lana!" Hermione said in a firm voice.
my dad Ahadi who also heard me gave me a harsh look in response. I then went silent.
When Dumbledore got everyone to quiet down he said, "From this day foward the triwizard tournament had begun. now off to bed everyone" Dumbledore said.
we then got up and left the great hall.
