Chapter 29
June had come to Hogwarts and Ellouise had a few very reflective moments thinking what she would be doing this time last year at that time.
The time she had found it all was coming up fast now, maybe too fast for her own liking.
She had been a potter for nearly a year now. She had changed so much.
Yet Hogwarts hadn't. It just was. Nothing seemed to change Hogwarts, not even time in her eyes.
Looking to Hermione she nodded in agreement. They have to put there training on hold again to get her brother through the next task.
They had just twenty ones days to go now. They had to get perpetrated, or at least start getting ready now.
------------
I don't know Mel he just did seem to me so sorry," said lily.
"Then why doesn't he try and talk to your sister." suggested Mel.
"Because one he has his pride to think of and she would not let him near Dudley again if her life depended on It." said lily to her friend.
They were on the patio of the Den, looking over the vast lands.
In her arms lay mark, sleeping in his mothers arms as she cradled him tightly.
Summer was in her aunts and sleeping just as peacefully as her brother.
Mel had come over very maternal since she and Sirius had started trying for a child of there own. But that wasn't number one on her list yet.
The date for the wedding ha been set to the fifteenth of August so that the kids wouldn't miss school and she still had a lot to do to get ready.
"So what are you lot doing today?" she asked.
"Well me and therapies are going to go in tot the village and go to lunch with my sister and her son, and her husband ass it is in his lunch hour. You can come of you want," Lily
"Yes," said Mel. "I think I will I could do with a break."
So at mid day after making sure the kids were fed and changed they both pushed a pram each and walked down to met the three Dursley in town.
They were going to have an Italian.
It was a pleasant relaxed environment as they sat eating and drinking, and enjoying the sun.
They all watched Dudley gulp down his own so he could squeeze in a hold with Summer and Mark. He was taking his duty seriously.
--------------------------------
That week Harry had a vision from what he had told Ellouise about to her horror the dark lord Voldemort. He was suddenly coming out and scaring every one who knew of it. She had heard about him but now it seemed he might have a part to play on her generation and that sacred the wits off all of them. They didn't want to have to go through what there parents had fighting each day just to see the next.
She had been cuddling up with Neville when he had got back that night when he had had the dream and when he had seen her with him he had given them a queer look before going up to his dorm room to think what had gone on that day.
That had been the day that he had found out about Neville's mum and dad and he had felt so bad but whiner he had seen him with his sister he had seemed so normal. But it had to be for him now, didn't it?
After that day as long as she had her homework done Ellouise spent just like Ron and Hermione every moment she could getting ready for the third task with Harry. The four of them had an empty transfiguration in which they concluded use and it was just the four if them unless Neville which he did once in a while turn up to be with t hem although Hermione, Ron and Harry ,knew it was just so him and Elle could be together even more than they were.
It was coming all so clear they had fallen for each other hook line and sinkers.
Owls from the den were co making all the time for they had been informed that Voldemort may be getting stronger again and understandable the six potters, well the four who knew what was going on were wanting to check the others were still round all the time so when James and Sirius could be seen on the edge of the forest again it was no shock and a huge comfort for the two kids. They felt better knowing they weren't far away.
In no time at all however the day of the third task had come and Ellouise was even a bit we excited just like the rest of the school but it was only too obvious the only thing her brother was just so nervous as they sat at breakfast.
Rita Sketter, the most horrid daily prophet reporter, in the eyes of the second year Gryffindors girl had not made anything easier for the Potters that day as she wrote about how apparently mad Harry was. She seemed tot think she ha had an eye ball vision of what had gone on in the Divination classroom when Harry had had his dream and of course this triggered the question, how? She wasn't in the class.
But what could they have done at that moment in time, and after all the Gryffindors has bigger problems that day to face.
All the mean time while all this had been going on fir them the Gryffindors had been heaving there end if years exams and Ellouise wasn't feeling so confident as she had last year ass she had been so dissertated for a lot of the time with her family or her friends. She hadn't given her studies the attention she should have. Not that she had been that bothered on the day of the third task as she had been taking attitude that reminded people a lot of her dear friend Beth.
When she got up that day she had a sick feeling in her stomach but what the heck. They had to get it over with and they had put in so much training for the day Harry had been prepared by his friends and sister completely.
They just had to get through it now
At last the last class came and that last exam the group had to do was over. For Harry he had history of magic but Ellouise and her second year friends had Transfiguration.
That after noon was pleasant though. Lily , James, Sirius, Remus and Dudley had all come to watch and the two kids to Ellouise astonishment had been left in the care of her mothers sister and her husband and her dad looked clam, though not happy, calm about it even if he was not calm about the task that was coming up.
Also Mrs. Weasley had come along to show her support with her eldest soon b ill who Ellouise agreed with Emily, was the best looking brother, even if they did have soft spots for Ron and Fred.
The family who was there ate at the table and now that Dudley was here and not depressed this time everything was so new to him all he was able to do was asked Lily question after question which she answered as best she could.
After that they headed down to thee task. When Harry left he was applaud3d by his house and relatives they were all proud of him beyond what words could say.
They walked in to the Quidditch stands and din there was a maze with hedges twenty foot high. There was no way on earth that they were going to be able to watch Harry complete it just wait till he did win or lose. Hagrid, McGonagall, Moody and flit wick were all going to be patrolling the outer maze while the champions were inside though.
Then with out further ado, it began.
"Ladies and gentleman, the third and final task of the Triwizard tournament is about to take place! Let me remind you how the current appoints stand!" shouted Bagman. "tied in first place, on eighty-five points each are Mr. Harry Potter and Mr.. Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts!" the cheers that came from where the other potters were standing were deafening. "In second place with eighty points is Mr. Viktor Krum and in last place is Miss. Fleur Delacour."
"So on my whistle Harry and Cedric. There, two, one," and now all the rest of Harry's family could do.
A lot of talking and excitement was going gone around Ellouise but she couldn't hear it. Once again just as she had with the dragon, zoned out with worry.
She felt as Neville held her hand softly but that was it. All that clouded her thoughts were Harry.
And just as before, the what if's killed her.
