Chapter 57: The Triwizard Tournament

"Come on, wake up Sleeping…"

"…Beauty, you have to come too!" there was banging at Ginny's dorm door and as I woke up with a start, I noticed the two other girls rubbing their eyes sleepily. I hurried over to the door and opened it fast.

"I'm not the only one sleeping here, dunderheads. And that's not how you wake up people."

"You're right, we like to…"

"…do that differently usually." I thought back to last year when I fell asleep on the couch in my room and woke up drenched in pumpkin juice.

"Yeah, I remember. Now go and let us get ready!"

"Ohh, someone's snappy today. Has one…"

"…of the gits done anything again?" they both cracked their knucles, getting serious all of a sudden. I slammed the door closed, surprised, to stop them from saying anything else.

"What was that about?"

"Oh, nothing to wory about Mione."

"Never asked you though, how did you grow so close to my brothers?"

"Well, I don't necessarly go to sleep early and the curfew was for them more like a mild suggestion…"

"Oh. Got it." she said smiling. "But what gits were they talking about? Has our little girl fell in love?"

"Oh, shut it Gin. Let's get ready."

At half past ten, we were already on platform 9 /4, the earliest we have ever been.

"I'd invite you ovr for Christmas, but I reckon you'll want to stay this year, considering what's gonna happen."

"And what is that?" Ron asked but was ignored again, just like at the World Cup.

"Yeah, I almost wish I was there this year." Mr Weasley nodded.

But they didn't have time to ask further questions, because we were shooed to the train. We found a carriage, that just so happened to be right next to Draco's. What have I ever done so wrong in my life?

"We tried asking Bill and Charlie at the Cup, but they wouldn't tell either." Hermione suddently straightened herself and brought a finger up to her closed lips, using the other hand to motion to the other compartment.

"…and father seriously considered sending me to Durmstrang you know, he knows the principal there, he's not like Dumbledore. And they don't accept mudbloods. The kids there actually learn Dark Arts, not just the defense crap that we are. But mother didn't like the idea of sending me so far."

Hemione got up and slammed the door shut as to not hear his voice anymore. I had to admit, this façade was getting rather annoying.

Soon Neville joined us and we all talked about the Cup. Apparently, his grandma didn't want to go so he was very sad to have lost all the fun we had.

"Yes Neville, but consider this: we were also there when the Death Eaters attacked. It could've gone awfully wrong had the Dark Mark not been summoned. That's when they left." Hermione tried to be the voice of reason again, but to no avail.

"But we sat on the top seats, it was incredible."

"You forgot to say for the first and last time in your life Weasel. Now, I expect you to enter it for the money, and Potter for the fame. " Draco entered with the two goons and Parkinson trailing behind him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, right, your father isn't high enough in the Ministry to know this kind of things."

"So tell us Malfoy, why did your daddy run away?" Harry joined.

"Shut it Potter. At least I didn't run with my tail between my legs."

"No, but your parents did." Ron wasn't helping either.

"Why don't you lot bugger off? Don't you have first years to bully?" I was already tired of them fighting again.

"Why lil bitch? Scared for your parents? They could've been there you know. In fact-" I couldnt take Pansy's smirk anymore.

"That's enough Puginson. Don't bring my parents into this."

"Or what? You'll tell me off to your muggle parents, mudblood?" anger was boiling inside me. I just didn't want to deal with her today. The year was starting and I had to figure out how not to get killed.

"Or maybe make your boyfriend Potter here deal with this." I could see Draco clenching his teeth and my face was burning. My patience gave up at that point. I raised my wand and don't even know what spell I thought of. I only snapped back to reality when the compartment door slammed shut hard and I could see the four Slytherins struggling to get up from the floor on the hallway. Hermione walked up to the door to repair the shattered window and then sat down just like the three of us, in complete silence.

"Umm, you ok?"

"Smooth Ron." I said quietly.

"Pansy...well, you know how she is. You can't expect anything more from her." Hermione said, putting her hand on my back. The thing was, after I met her at Draco's party, I knew I could. Just not as myself.

"It's ok, just, what she said about my parents…"

"And Harry being your boyfriend." Ron snickered.

"Yeah, that too."

"Oh, by the way, guys, don't listen to him. Your father knows what happens this year at Hogwarts, just wants it to be a surprise."

"Wait, you know what this is about?" Ron said surprised.

"I freaking live at Hogwarts. Of course I know." I mocking-snapped.

"So, what is it?"

"Right, because I'm going to tell you after all the effort Mr and Mrs Weasley put into you not knowing" I laughed.

After about 15 mins, they gave up trying to get it out of me, well, the boys, since Hermione understood in first place that it was supposed to be a surprise. Sometime this girl is too mature for her age.

Back at Hogwarts, Harry and Ron started going through teories with the twins, since the latter two tried to get me to tell them for a whole week before they gave up. But Dumbledore told them what they wanted to know when the time came, right after the Feast.

"So, I am rather sorry to announce you that this year we have to cancel Quidditch." The sound that came was not hard to compare to a big explosion. Each and every kid who played in the house team started shouting, Fred and George shouthed "that's rubbish" and Oliver Wood was red as a tomato and ready to scream when a second ago he was pale as a sheet. It obviously was his worst nightmare.

"I know that," Dumbledore started and the Hall fell into silence "this is a very saddening and even angering thing for a lot of you. But it is due to an event that will take place during most of the school year and will take much of the energy of the teachers. I am pleased to inform you that this year Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament!"

"Youre kidding!"the twins shouted (unsurprisingly) at the same time.
