A message to my reviewers…

HelloKitty14: You also have a part in this story, but we won't meet you until probably chapter 4. Keep reviewing though!

Like Father, Like Daughter
Chapter 3: The Triwizard Tournament
Summer POV
"Okay Dad, I'll be sure to write to you if anything comes up." I said as we made our way onto Platform 9 ¾.
Dad took my shoulder and looked down at me. "Now you have the cloak right?" Dad whispered in my ear.
"Yes Dad, and the map." I answered him back.
"Good girl, your mom and I will try and see you play some Quidditch this year." Dad replied.
"I'll be looking forward to it." I said as I took off towards the train.
"Bye Summer! Bye Matt!" I heard my parent's call out to us as we both boarded the train. Matthew ran off to a girl that had dark brown eyes and black hair from his own house. I passed by the King and Queen compartment, trying to look for Andrew, as the train began its course.
"Sum!" I heard from behind me.
I turned and saw the boy with bright red hair and light blue eyes running towards me. I smiled as Andrew wrapped his arms around my waist and gently kissed my lips. "It's so good to see you too." I said as he pulled apart from me.
"Common, I got us a compartment near the front." Andrew replied.
Andrew took my hand and led me through the kids as we found an apartment near the front of the train. There was no one else inside expect for a tall lanky boy with dark hair and deep blue eyes. "Hey Summer."
"Hi Jake." I said hugging my old friend. Jake was in his sixth year with me.
I sat down opposite of Jake and next to Andrew. "So, do your parent's know yet?" Andrew asked.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Do Harry and Hermione know that we are dating yet?" Andrew repeated.
"Well, um, no. I can't Andrew, do you know what my Dad will do to you if he finds out that I am dating the son of his Best Friend?" I asked.
"Sum, he is going to find out sooner or later."
Harry POV
"'Mione I need to get to the office, ASAP. I'll talk to you later?" I asked still on the platform.
"Sure thing." Hermione kissed my lips softly as I apparated to my desk as Head Auror at the Ministry of Magic.
"POTTER!" came a roar from behind me. I looked back and saw Kelly Thompson standing there.
"Yeah?" I asked her.
"Look, I need you to finish this paperwork out. You've been gone for so long, you haven't even heard the good news." She began.
"Okay, what's it for?" I asked taking it from her grasp.
I looked at the title and found myself wishing that I would have known sooner.
Summer POV
"YOUR MUM FOUND OUT?" I shrieked.
"Yes, but she said she wouldn't tell Dad. She found one of your letters." Andrew admitted.
"Andrew, this is bad enough. I mean soon I am going to be the only one at Hogwarts, this is your last year Andy."
"You call me that again." Andrew teased me.
I couldn't help but laugh a little. Then I noticed something was wrong. "Andrew, where's your captains badge, you're not off the team are you?" I asked.
"There's no Quidditch this year." Andrew exclaimed.
Harry POV
"THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!" I shouted.
"Why what's wrong?" Kelly asked.
"Do you know how much my kid is like me? I mean she is going to be first in line to put her name in that goblet! THIS IS AWESOME!" I exclaimed.
"You mean, Summer Potter?" Kelly asked.
"Of course, my youngest is too young to do this." I replied. I ignored her and went back into my office and filled the rest of the paper work until it hit me.
Summer actually did have a very good chance at making Hogwarts Champion.
But Hermione was going to be furious.
Summer POV
"What's the Triwizard Tournament?" I asked Andrew.
"You mean, your Dad, who is the Head Auror didn't tell you about it?" Jake asked.
"Well my Dad actually hasn't been in his office for like a week until today, he's probably going to find out soon enough." I replied.
"Your Dad is the last known person to win the Triwizard Tournament!" Jake exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Your Dad won the tournament when he was in his fourth year in Hogwarts, you mean he never told you?" Andrew answered.
"I never knew anything about this, I am so entering. You should enter with me Andrew, then whoever makes it can cheer their girlfriend on." I cheered up.
"No way Summer, I don't want you to enter, the last time they had it someone died." Andrew said.
"What are you my Mum, I am so going to be just like my father and enter." I went on.
"Summer please listen to me." Andrew said turning to face me. He took both of my hand and put them together with his. "I don't want you get hurt over this. Your Dad got beat up better bad too you know."
"A little pain never hurt anyone."
"But I don't want you to go through it." Andrew went on.
"Why?" I snapped.
"BECAUSE I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" Andrew shouted.
I was taken back. I knew that when Andrew asked me out last year he was taking a risk losing his popularity for dating a girl younger than him but he still did and I knew that he really cared about me, but this? "Andy,"
"No, don't Summer. Look I know you want to be a Quidditch Player for the rest of your life and fulfill your so called destiny as the daughter of the great Harry Potter but you don't have to do this." Andrew cut me off.
"Look Andy, this isn't about my Dad. This is about me. I want to do this, I just want you to support me." I answered. "Please. Look I'm a big girl and I can take of myself. Although I am flattered,"
"I know, I just can't think of what I would do to myself if something happened to you. I knew you would want to do this." Andrew cutted in again.
"I want, to do this. Please tell me that you won't be mad."
"I won't. I'll support you if you make it."
"Please, with these genes I am bound to get in." I teased him.
"Aww, your guys are so cute. It is almost sickening." Jake spoke up.
"Well, it isn't as disgusting as me trying to win Princess." I commented.
"What?" Andrew almost shouted.
"Your going for Princess?" Jake asked.
"Dad wants me to, for Mum." I answered.
"But I am in a different year." Andrew went.
"AND? Norbert, the King this year's girlfriend didn't make Queen. I promised I would go for it. Jake you should try too." I remarked.
"Why me?" Jake asked.
"Because you have a shot at winning, they way we both can win and have the awesome dormitories to ourselves next year." I snapped back.
"Don't remind me that my baby is going to be here next year while I have to go and live on my own." Andrew said wrapping his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.
"Well, you can start a life for me outside of school. I don't want to have to live in Potter's Palace for the rest of my life." I said leaning up against his chest.
Andrew didn't answer back. I placed my ear over his chest and enjoyed the sound of his breath moving in and out of him as the train moved closer and closer to home.
Hermione POV
"HOGWARTS IS DOING WHAT?" I screamed when Harry told me the news.
"I only found out today." Harry tried.
"IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I NEVER WOULD HAVE SENT SUMMER TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SHE LOVES TO BE JUST LIKE YOU. SHE'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO PUT HER NAME IN. ONCE THATGOBLET READS POTTER, IT IS ALL OVER WITH. WE MIGHT AS WELL GO BUY HER GRAVESIGHT WHILE WE HAVE A HEAD START!" I yelled.
"Well it's not like you can stop her." Harry remarked.
"Oh I certainly will. I am not going to let my only daughter end up like Ginny Weasley!" I screamed at him.
"'Mione she's a Potter, it's in her blood." Harry said resting his hands on my shoulders.
"Exactly, it's in YOUR blood, what about mine? She was suppose to find a nice boy and become Princess this year but instead, she going to avoid dragons and snakes, all thanks to you." I shouted. I stomped up the stairs and slammed the bedroom hatch shut.
I pulled my quill and ink out and began writing a long stern letter to Summer. It was only when I got to threatening her to breaking her broomstick in half is when it finally hit me. She's my daughter. I want her to be happy. I ripped the letter in half and threw it in the wastebasket. I made my way back down the stairs and saw Harry sitting in the kitchen with an empty cup in front of him.
"I can't do it." I admitted.
"I knew you would come around." Harry responded standing up and wrapping his arms around me.
"I mean I want her to be happy but yet I want her to show some of myself." I said in his shoulder.
"I know, I was actually really happy when Matthew came to me yesterday." Harry whispered.
"For what?" I asked looking up at him.
"Girl problems. He already see's a sparkle." Harry replied.
"My little boy is growing up." I said back into his shoulder.
I may not have control of Summer or Matthew's lives, but I knew where they were going. I guess it was motherly instinct. I could tell Summer wanted to be a professional Quidditch player and Matthew wanted to be the next Minister of Magic. He is always focused on politics; I always wondered where he got it.
Summer POV
"This year, Hogwarts is going to host the Triwizard Tournament. Now I must warn that to all the students who wish to par take in the event, injuries are most likely to come to you and that there has been a history of numerous deaths in this event. But the Minister thinks it is a wonderful idea to bring the tradition back again." Headmistress McGonagall went on.
I could feel Andrew's hand squeeze mine from under the table. As McGonagall went on I ignored her and looked over back at him. "Are you going to try to get in?" I asked.
"I've been thinking about it. I mean a thousand galleons seems great for us to start off a family of our own." Andrew said into my ear.
"Stop teasing me, are you or aren't you?" I asked.
"I'll try, so even if for some miracle I do make it, then you can be my little cheerleader." Andrew said smiling down at me.
"Hey, if you make it I will even wear a little short skirt to all the tasks and help you research all of them." I teased him.
"Honestly?" Andrew asked.
"Sure, why not. But what are you going to do for me?" I asked.
"I dunno, I plan some very romantic date for our anniversary in October." Andrew answered.
"Your already suppose to plan a very romantic date anyways." I snapped.
"But this time I'll see if I can get permission to take you down to Hogsmeade." Andrew commented.
"Only students in there 6th or 7th year may enter the tournament. Now 1 champion will be chosen from each school. The tournament will be held here and due to this there will be no Quidditch Season this year. The students from Beauxbatons and Drumstrang will be arriving on the evening night before Halloween, the Goblet of Fire will then be placed for any student who wishes to enter in the Great Hall."
"Also to the sixth and seventh years, the Winter Ball WILL be held this year. There will be a different system though. Instead of reading the first nominee's for each house there will be TWO nominees and then at the Yule Ball, the final nominee's will be announced, now the nominee's are…
From Slytherin, the boys are Marc Kinsley and George Yoo. The Girls are Jill Thomas and Terry Dreadwood.
From Hufflepuff, the boys are Sam Fredrick and Daniel Waster. The girls are Marisa Harper and Caitlin Cohen.
From Ravenclaw, the boys are James Hackle and Barry Notting. The girls are Lindsay Diane and Melinda Berry.
And from Gryffindor, the boys are Jake Esperanza and Paul Cooper. The girls are Georgia Gibson and Summer Potter."
"Well Sum, it looks like it between us and the Gibson couple." Jake spoke up.
"Mum will be proud." I whispered back.
"Oh imagine my babe become princess." Andrew said before hugging me tightly, this year was looking surprising after all.
You should all bow down to me. I mean I should be working on my summer projects for my honor classes but no, I had to write this. I was torturing myself by holding back but here...
Setoglomper: Oh beileve me, the good only got gooder, if that is even a word. Nice to here back from you. Hope you check out Sixteen Candles! I like it.
lucyrocks73: 2 reivews! YAY! and YAY! you got it right, I know I can always count on my Daniel Radcliffe fan, so yes you get the part in the story. In your next reviewI will need your E-Mail so I can get all the details I need. ttyl!
pumpkinpie4ever: School does suck, especially if you get the kind of teachers (like mine) who give your summer projects, I'm in Southern Cali so I don't start till September 7th, anyways ttly.
Beth5572: No, no, no, no Thank YOU!
skyfire2459: All I have to say is that you are a brave soul. Although I am thrilled to see you liked that story, I just hate it because of all the grammar errors I used to make, even though I still do make some from time to time. gasp And you cried when I cried, I mean that's touching. I am going to have a flashback of the final battle with Voldemort soon, I hope. Anyways I loved your review and I can't wait until your next.
harryhermione4ever: ah thanks, really I don't know what to say.
rodrigo: Thanks a bunch. I hope you liked this chapter, I wanted to reveal my genius work and here it is. I'm looking forward to your next reivew (and the next one for the O.C. I'm updating that too!)
HAM005: Nope, I would never be mad at a reviewer as faithful as you. If you did do it I think I just shrugged it off. And about that sparkle thing, well I don't think it is true, but IF YOU DO SEE A SPARKLE, that would be pretty cool. I mean I saw one in my ex-boyfriend's eye and from time to time I still see it, I though I would put that in Harry Potter world, but no, it ain't true.
