A/N: It's official. Band camp has started for me. 80 hours of drills, marching, and pure torture! But I live it; I mean 7 people threw up so far. I hope I'm not next. Nobody wants to see the Blueberry Bagels I eat in the morning.
So here it is, the next chapter.
Like Father, Like Daughter
Chapter 5: This is Halloween
Summer POV
Halloween was upon the castle. The dance was canceled and we weren't allowed to wear costumes. "They have to take away all the fun don't they?" Andrew asked.
We were both on our way down to the feast to see the announcement of the final Prince and Princess nominee's and the champions from each school. "I would have voted for you and Jake but apparently, only your grade gets to vote." Andrew began again. My robes were dragging behind me and I made sure that I looked my best tonight. I wanted to look flawless as the nominee's were called.
"Summer! There you are!" I heard from far away. I looked down the final steps and saw my father rushing towards me.
"Oh great." I whispered under my breath. "Hello father." I greeted him, as he got closer to me.
"I wanted to wish you good luck before the ceremony begins." Dad began.
My eyes grew a bit wider. "You what? What happened to that entire argument we had the other day?"
"What argument?" Dad looked at me forgetting the entire thing.
"Whatever, we better get down there before it begins." I said leading Andrew and my father to the Great Hall. Floating pumpkins bobbed up and down overhead. My Dad made his way up to the staff table and sat down next to Hagrid. Andrew and I sat down next to a couple of girls from Beauxbatons that decided to sit at our table.
"Don't worry." Andrew spoke up at the food began to appear.
"What?" I asked.
"Your worried, I can tell. Summer you've gotten the best chance out of everyone at this entire school. Your in for sure." Andrew explained.
"I know, but I can't imagine rooting on for anyone else and not being able to attend." I muttered.
The feast was excellent as everyone pigged out on sweets and chocolates. It was only when Professor McGonagall stood up when everyone became silent. "Before we all begin announcing the champions, Hogwarts has another matter on its hands. The Prince and Princess nominee's." she began.
"Oh great." I said sitting up again. "I will never hear the end of it from my father if I am chosen."
"First, the Prince's. Ravenclaw, James Hackle." About half of the Ravenclaw table cheered and I saw James being tapped on the back from a friend. "Hufflepuff, Daniel Waster." The same thing happened over at the Hufflepuff table. "Slytherin, Marc Kinsley."
"George didn't stand a chance." Andrew whispered to me. I nodded my head to him as it went on.
"If Jake makes it I know I'll be the Princess nominee." I replied back.
"And for Gryffindor, Jake Esperanza." I began clapping as Jake sitting in front of me began to turn bright red.
"And for the Princesses, Ravenclaw, Lindsay Diane." Lindsay smiled over at her table and showed off her perfect teeth. "Hufflepuff, Caitlin Cohen." The Hufflepuff table roared with cheering. Finally the pressure was hitting me. I had to get the nominee, it was for mum. I barely showed that I was her daughter; this was to make it up. "Slytherin, Terry Dreadwood."
I felt Andrew's hand squeeze my hand as Professor McGonagall went on. "And finally for Gryffindor, Summer Potter."
I took a sigh of relief. I felt a glare come from Georgia but I didn't care. The easy part of out of the way.
"Now I will introduce to you, the other judges for the Triwizard Tournament. As head of the department of Magical Games and Sports I present Mrs. Cho Chang." A pretty woman who was sitting on the other side of my Dad stood up. "And Head Auror at the Ministry of Magic, I present my other former student, Mr. Harry Potter."
My dad stood up and the whole Great Hall erupted with applause and cheering. Even my Dad had to cover his ears to drain the sound out.
"Now, the Goblet please." Mr. Flinch brought the Goblet still ablaze up to the front and placed it in front of McGonagall. She waved her hand at it and the once blue flame turned white. A small piece of paper rose form the Goblet and McGonagall took it.
"The champion from Drumstrang will be James Keller." I could hear the Drumstrang school cheer him on as James made his way up to the front. He went through a door behind the teachers' tables.
Another paper came up and McGonagall picked it up again. "The champion from Beauxbatons Academy will be Samantha Estes." The girl that was sitting next to me rose and waved as she made her way to the front.
"This is it." I breathed.
The last small piece came out of the fire. As McGonagall picked it up the flame turned back to blue. She read the name to herself and sighed. "Well, the champion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding will be Summer Potter."
A huge grin came over my face as the Great Hall erupted as it had done for my Dad. Andrew had to push me so I would stand up. I stood and saw the smile on my Father's face. He was proud of me, maybe even prouder than when I got on the Quidditch team. I walked up and went to the back room with the rest of the champions.
Hermione POV
I was sitting down in the kitchen drinking warm tea. Harry was due back from Hogwarts any minute.
The response from him had a multiple outcome.
1
"Good news, Summer is Hogwarts Champion, AND she is up for Princess!"
2
"Summer didn't make champion, but she is a nominee for Princess in her house."
3
"Summer didn't get anything. It's a shame."
4
"Summer made the champion! Oh but sorry, she's didn't get the Princess nominee 'Mione."
To be all honest I was rooting for number 2. I didn't want my only daughter end up like Ginny Weasley did that cold and fateful night.
FLASHBACK to The Price of Love!
Hermione POV
"You have only begun to experience my powers." Voldemort hissed. "Let me show you who I really am. Draco, please fetch our subject, I understand that you have kept it in a perfect condition."
"Yes my Lord." Draco replied. Malfoy exited the room but left the door open. I watched him from the corner of my eye as he opened another room across the way, which appeared to be another dungeon. He lit that room as well and disappeared into it. A few minutes later he reappeared, holding a person, whose face was hidden from me, yet again another hood hide the face.
Draco made his way back into the room we were all in. Draco pushed the person to the floor in between us. Her hood came off and revealed bright red hair upon a dirty face, filled with soot and dirt. Her hands were filthy and she let out a moan of pain. She looked around the room and then finally laid eyes upon Harry and I.
"Ginny?" Harry muttered.
"Harry? Hermione? Is it you?" Ginny asked us, her voice was cracking.
"Ginny, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Good, I am glad you have already met Miss Weasley." Voldemort hissed at us.
"Hermione, Harry. I never meant for anything to happen. I just hated seeing you guys together last year. I never wanted it to go this far." Ginny begged.
"Silence." Draco demanded.
"Leave me alone." Ginny yelled back at him.
"Miss Weasley, you shall be the first then." Voldemort smirked.
Pure horror came over Ginny's face. Voldemort lift his wand and Ginny let out a piercing scream. She stepped back but already knew that there was nowhere to run. "Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted. A green flame shot out of the tip of his wand and hit Ginny straight in the heart.
Ginny Weasley was dead before she hit the floor.
End Flashback!
A crack was heard from the living room as I made my way back to the living room. Harry was standing there with a smile on his face. "Great news." He began as he came up to me and gave me a hug.
"What?" I asked him as he pulled apart from me.
"Well first, Summer is a nominee for Princess."
I smiled. "Harry that's wonderful."
"She's also Hogwarts champion."
"What?" I snapped with the smile gone.
"There's nothing you can do anyway, she has to go through with the tournament. Soon it will be all over and then we'll have her back, she'll finish her seventh year. And then probably after that she and Andrew will live together."
Suddenly two more cracks came from the living room and Ron and Lavender Weasley were standing there.
"Congratulations, we just heard the good news." Lavender began.
"I knew she would make it, just like you mate." Ron went off.
"Well it will be another thing to look forward to." I smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked aloud.
"I was joking, like if Summer and Andrew ever got married." I smiled.
Suddenly Ron's neck tensed up and his face grew bright red. "But they're not even dating." Ron squealed.
My face dropped, as did Lavender's and Harry's. "He doesn't know yet." Lavender whispered.
"Don't you think it would be a good thing to tell him?" I asked aloud.
"Tell me what?" Ron spoke up.
"I didn't know that you guys knew, Andrew told me that Summer was suppose to tell you guys over the summer." Lavender responded.
"Tell them what?" Ron went on.
"Harry found out when he caught them at Hogwarts on their anniversary." I spoke back.
"Whose anniversary?" Ron still babbled.
"Ron, shut up for a minute here." Harry spoke up.
Ron's face became redder as he bit his lip. "Summer and Andrew have been dating for about a year now." Lavender spoke up.
Then Ron brightened his face up a bit more, it was in the shade of a dark cherry. "How did this happen?" He almost whispered.
"There teenagers." Harry tried.
Suddenly the room was filled with a pop. Standing next to Ron now was his very own father. He had now completely baled and was wearing regular black robes. "Good evening Mr. Weasley." I spoke up.
"Hello Hermione, Harry. I am glad to see you two are both here, it will make it easier for me." Mr. Weasley began.
"Easier for what?" Ron asked.
"Well of course you both would be over here," Mr. Weasley went on without looking at Ron. "Summer's Hogwarts champion. Just like her old man! Congratulations."
"Mr. Weasley, I know there is a reason why you came over here, and not just to celebrate that Summer is in the Triwizard Tournament." Harry said calmly.
"Well, alright then. It's Molly." Mr. Weasley began looking down at his shoes.
"What about Mum, is she all right?" Ron pestered.
Mr. Weasley became silent all of a sudden and still didn't look up from the ground. The room was silent and we could hear him starting to breath faster. "No, she's not all right." Mr. Weasley spoke up with a lump in his voice.
"What's wrong Arthur?" Lavender asked.
Mr. Weasley looked up and we all could see the tears standing in his eyes as he whispered, "She's dying"
