SMUT WARNING


October 31th 1994

As soon as Harry and Hermione walk out of the room Sirius and Remus walk straight over to Albus, neither caring about the fact that Crouch has left too.

"There has to be something we can do to get them out of this." Sirius says, "Please, Albus. Tell us that there is something we can do."

"I'm sorry, Sirius, but there isn't." Albus answers, "Harry and Hermione have to compete." He says, looking grave.

"it's not all bad Black, they'll love the attention." Severus comments

"Snape you really don't want to test either of us right now." Remus grows, his eyes flashing amber, "Hermione and Harry don't want this, they shouldn't have to do this, they didn't enter themselves! They didn't agree to the contract."

"It doesn't matter." Moody comments, "Someone did on their behalf and that makes it binding, even if Harry and Hermione didn't ask."

"Alastor is right." Albus says, looking right at Sirius and Remus, "They have to compete, you can't get them out of it." He says in a kind voice, "I'm sorry."

"I know it's not your fault, but that's not good enough this time, Albus." Sirius says, pain in his voice, "I need to get out of here." Sirius says before leaving.

"He's right." Remus says before following his mate out of the room.


A little while after Sirius and Remus left the room off the Great Hall they walk into their quarters where they find Hermione and Harry sitting on the couch, both looking to be in some state of shock.

"Princess? Pup?" Sirius asks concerned, as he and Remus walk over.

"We didn't want to go back to the Tower." Harry explains to Sirius and Remus as they sit down on the coffee table right in front of the couch.

"Is there any way to get out of this?" Hermione asks, "Any way where we won't have to compete?"

"No Sweetie, it doesn't look like there is." Remus tells his daughter, looking concerned, "But we will do whatever we can to help."

"Isn't that against the rules?" Harry asks, remembering what was said.

"Cheating is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament, and even if it wasn't we would help." Sirius explains, "Which brings me to something, Mione you always wear the locket I got you, right?" Sirius asks his daughter as he's noticed that.

"Yes." Hermione says with a nod.

"It's an emergency one-person Portkey." Sirius reveals.

"I checked it for that kind of thing, I didn't see any sign of that." Remus says to Sirius, sounding surprised.

"I know. It has been a part of the locket since I got it, and hidden in ways that make it impossible to detect." Sirius explains to Remus, "If you ever need to just put a hand on the locket and say, 'Hermione Jean Hope Lupin-Black, Tollite me, Pater' and it will take the person who's neck it is around directly to me." Sirius explains, causing Hermione to smile as she translates the Latin in her head.

"I'll remember that." Hermione assures her father.

"Good."

"Do we have any chance of getting through this?" Harry asks curious, causing Sirius and Remus to exchange looks.

"This tournament is going to be dangerous, and we think that Moody is right and whoever put your names in the goblet wanted to cause you pain, but I also know you both, and I know that when you work together, which is exactly what you have to do during this tournament, there isn't much you can't do." Remus explains, looking at them,

"Remus is right, and like we said we're going to help you both." Sirius tells them, it being clear that both are scared, and he's doing his best not to think about how much he hopes that will be enough.

"How about I make some Hot Chocolate." Remus suggests, wanting to do something to help.

"Thanks for the offer, Papa, but I think I just want to head to bed." Hermione says.

"Me too." Harry adds and the two of them stand up.

"Okay, goodnight I love you." Remus says before standing p and hugging them both.

"Love you too." Harry and Hermione respond.

"Love you, Princess, Love you Pup." Sirius says before he too hugs them and then Harry and Hermione leave the room.

"God, I really hate Halloween." Sirius says, getting up, once Harry and Hermione are in their room.

"I'm with you there." Remus comments as Sirius walks over to where they keep the alcohol, "Just bring the bottle." Remus request when he sees what Sirius is doing.

"Gladly." Sirius says as he walks back over and he and Remus both sit down on the couch, "This is exactly what we didn't want." He says before taking a drink right out of the bottle and handing it to Remus.

"I know." Remus says, taking a drink himself, "I don't care if it's breaking the rules, we have to do whatever we can to help them. They have to get through this." He says, pain in his voice, as he hands the bottle back to Sirius.

"I'm going to kill whoever put their names in." Sirius comments, after taking a drink, "They didn't want this. They didn't deserve to be forced into this."

"No, they don't." Remus says, resting his head on Sirius's shoulder as they drift into silence. After a little while Sirius moves his arm around Remus and the two of them sit in silence as they pass the bottle back and forth, both worrying about their kids.


A little while after Harry and Hermione went into their bedroom they both used their shared bathroom separately before heading to bed.

"Mione, you still awake?" Harry asks a little while after he went to bed, having use the bathroom after Hermione.

"Yeah." Hermione answer.

"How are we going to do this? How are we going to get through the tasks? How are we going to face everyone?" Harry asks, worry in his voice.

"The same way we always do, together." Hermione answers.

"Us against the world?" Harry asks.

"Us against the world." Hermione confirms and the two of them drift into silence.


November 1st 1994

The next morning both Hermione and Harry wake up to the smell of delicious food so they both head out into the lounge room without getting dressed where they find Sirius, Remus and the entire table is covered in food.

"Morning, Pup, Princess." Sirius tells them.

"We didn't think you two would be up to going to breakfast in the Great Hall so we had this sent up." Remus explains.

"Thanks, Papa, Dad."

"Thanks, Remus, Sirius."

The two teenagers say as they sit down.

"You're going to have to face everyone eventually, but there is no reason for that to be right now." Remus explains.

"Thank you." Harry and Hermione say together and they both sit down at the table.


After spending most of the morning with Sirius and Remus Hermione and Harry have finally forced themselves to go back to Gryffindor Tower.

"How bad do you think this is going to be?" Harry asks Hermione.

"I don't know." Hermione admits and the two of them give the Fat Lady the password and the two of them walk into the tower.

"You really need to stop being a prat." They hear Neville's voice say as they walk in and a few seconds later see Neville and Ron seemingly having an angry conversation.

"Mione, Harry." Neville says, running over to them and hugging them both, "I know you didn't enter yourselves." He says and then the three of them break apart, "Are you okay?"

"Thanks, Nev. Yeah, we're as okay as we can be." Harry says.

"We stayed with Dad and Papa last night." Hermione explains to her friend.

"I figured." Neville explains, as Ron walks over.

"I guess congratulations are in order." Ron says bitterly.

"What d'you mean, congratulations?" Harry asks, as Hermione realises exactly where this is going, while Ron grimaces.

"Well, no one else got across the Age Line." Ron explains, "Not even Fred and George. What did you two do use the Invisibility Cloak? Get your Daddy's to put your names in for you?"

"Neither Dad or Papa would ever put our names in." Hermione says with a frown.

"And the Invisibility Cloak wouldn't have gotten us over the line." Harry says slowly.

"Oh right." Ron says, "I thought you might've told me if it was the cloak, because it would've covered all three of us, wouldn't it? But you found another way, didn't you? Just like always." Ron says bitterly.

"We didn't out our names in." Hermione tells Ron, sounding annoyed, "Someone else did." Hermione says, causing Ron to raise his eyebrow.

"What would they do that for?"

"I dunno." Harry says, deciding it would be too melodramatic to say the most likely reason.

"It's okay, you know, the two of you can tell me the truth." Harry says, "If you don't want everyone else to know, fine, but I don't know why you're bothering to lie."

"We're not lying!" Hermione says, feeling the anger that usually only Snape and Malfoy cause to rise.

"You didn't get into trouble for it, did you?" Ron asks, acting like he didn't hear Hermione's objection, "That friend of the Fat Lady's, that Violet, she's told us all last night that Dumbledore's letting you enter, that you're competing together. A thousand Galleons prize money, eh? And you don't have to do end-of-year tests either…."

"We didn't put our names into the goblet!" Harry says, feeling anger grow inside of him too.

"Yeah, okay." Ron says, sounding sceptical, "Only you said this morning you'd have done it last night, and no on would've seen you. I'm not stupid, you know."

"You're doing a really good impression of it." Harry snaps.

"Go to hell." Ron says before storming out of the room and out of the portrait.

"I'm sorry. I've been trying to talk sense into him all morning." Neville tells his friends.

"It's okay, Nev." Hermione says with a smile.

"But thanks." Harry adds.

"You're welcome. It would be obvious to anyone who was paying the smallest bit of attention that you didn't enter yourselves." Neville reveals, "Like I said, Ron is just being a jealous Prat." He says, causing Harry and Hermione to look a little amuses as the three of them walk over to their seats by the fire and sit down.


November 3rd 1994

It has been two days since Hermione and Harry realised that Ron doesn't believe they didn't enter their names into the Goblet of Fire and ever since then things have just gotten worse for Harry and Hermione as it becomes clear that only a few people believe that didn't enter themselves and the majority of the school are treating them badly because of that. Due to that, Harry and Hermione have been spending most of their free time in Remus and Sirius's quarters.

It is after dinner and once more Hermione and Harry, along with Neville are all in Sirius's and Remus's quarters, but all three of them, with Sirius and Remus, are standing around the kitchen table where Remus is putting a large Ice Cream Cake.

"Happy Birthday, to you,

Happy Birthday, to you,

Happy Birthday dear, Sirius/Dad/Siri,

Happy birthday to you."

Once they finish singing Sirius takes a deep breath and blows out all of the candles.

"This cake looks amazing." Sirius says with a smile, "Thank you, Remy." Sirius says placing a kiss on Remus's cheek.

"Dad do you want cake or presents first?" Hermione asks curious.

"I think cake and presents together." Sirius answers.

"Okay then, Mione, Harry, Neville why don't you three head over to the lounge and we'll bring the cake over." Remus suggests and the three of them head over to the couch.

"What's my present from you?" Sirius asks Remus with a flirty grin.

"Something not appropriate to talk about around three teenagers." Remus whispers back, his voice seductive as he heads over to the kitchen to get plates.

A few minutes later Sirius and Remus join the three teenagers in the living room and they start to eat their cake.

"This is from me and Harry." Hermione says, handing a large gift to Sirius.

"Thank you Princess, Pup." Sirius says, putting down his cake to open the present, never being one to be careful Sirius just rips open the paper and inside he finds a wooden trunk, with a curious look Sirius opens the trunk to find it full of smaller boxes, picking one up he sees that it has, 'Hermione, first day of school' written on top, "What is all this?" Sirius asks confused.

"Memories." Hermione answers, "Papa and Minerva helped us copy some of our memories. You missed a lot over the year and even though it's not the same we wanted to share these with you." Hermione explains causing Sirius to look amazed.

"Thank you, Princess, Pup, thank you so much." Sirius says, getting up and walking over to them, "You're both amazing." He says before hugging his daughter and godson, "I love you both."

"Love you too." Harry and Hermione responds and once they break apart Sirius goes back to his seat, with a smile on his face, being glad to get to spend his first birthday in thirteen years with the people he loves the most.


A while later, having enjoyed every second of his first birthday in thirteen years with people he loves, something he never thought he'd get to experience again, Sirius is returning to his and Remus's quarters having walked Hermione, Harry and Neville back to Gryffindor Tower.

Looking around the living room and kitchen Sirius sees no sign of his mate and so he heads to their bedroom. As he enters the room Sirius can't help but let out of a gasp of surprise as there are floating candles surrounding their king size four post bed, the curtains are drawn open and there are red rose petals in the shape of a heart on the covers and inside the heart is Sirius & Remus also written with the rose petals.

Moving closer Sirius is hoping to find his mate, however he is out of luck as he sees no sign of Remus. Wanting to be sure Sirius looks around every corner of their room and as he sees no sign of Remus Sirius heads to the adjoining bathroom, figuring it is the only place left for his mate to be.

Walking into their bathroom Sirius finds candles once surrounding their bath and Remus completely naked next to two wine glasses and a bowl of strawberries and chocolate.

Looking at the sight Sirius is completely speechless and amazed, not being able to believe that Remus would go to all this effort to make his birthday special.

"Happy Birthday, Siri." Remus says, sounding nervous as he is worried he did too much, as Sirius just approaches his mate and kisses him passionately.

"Thank you…. Thank you, Remy…. This is incredible….. You're incredible." Sirius says between passionate kisses.

As they kiss Remus strips Sirius and they both climb into the bath that is not only the perfect temperature, but is full of bubbles and incredible scents.

Once they are in the bath Sirius relaxes against Remus's chest and just enjoys the feeling,

"For you." Remus says as he hands Sirius a wine glass, "To you." Remus says, raising the glass to toast.

"To us." Sirius corrects and they both drink. Once they do Remus starts to feed Sirius the strawberries that have been dipped in Honeydukes finest chocolate, both of them enjoying the feeling of being together as they share delicious chocolate strawberries and incredible wine.


After spending a long time in the bath both Sirius and Remus well and truly rested and are walking into their bedroom, both only covered in towels that are wrapped around their waists.

As they cross the threshold to their room Sirius wraps his hands around Remus's neck, pulls him in close and starts to kiss down Remus's waist, causing him to moan in pleasure.

"That was amazing, Rem, thank you for my present, and just so you know you've basically guaranteed that you're going to get an incredible birthday present too." Sirius says as Remus closes his eyes and just focuses on the incredible feeling of Sirius's mouth on his neck.

"You're welcome, love, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and just so you know I don't celebrate my birthday anymore." Remus reveals.

"You will this year, and you'll love it." Sirius says, with a grow, knowing why Remus would no longer celebrate his birthday and already planning on making it up to him, as he takes the towel away, leaving his mate naked.

Moving his hands along Remus Sirius reaches Remus's ass and squeezes it, letting out a grow as Remus moans in pleasure. After moaning Remus turns, while not moving out of Sirius's arm, and starts to kiss his mate passionately as he removes the towel from around Sirius's waist.

For a few minutes Sirius and Remus passionately kiss until Sirius walks back to the bed and pushes Remus onto the on his bed, causing all the rose peddles to fly up into the air. Descending on his mate Sirius kisses down Remus's neck, then torso, then stomach before reaching Remus's Magnificat hardened cock, at least that's Sirius's opinion, which he takes into his mouth inch by inch, and he starts to suck and swirl his tongue over the top of Remus's member.

"Oh, god Siri, so perfect, so amazing." Remus says as he moans and squirms in pleasure below Sirius, while reaching out and taking Sirius's soft hair in his hair.

After several minutes of this Remus tightens his grip on Sirius's hair, "Sir, I'm close." Remus moans and Sirius let's go with a pop,

"Not yet." Sirius says, kissing Remus once more, before whispering a lube charm and starting prepare his mate.

After a little of preparing his mat Sirius adds a third finger causing Remus to start to pant.

"Oh merlin, Siri."

"Just Sirius will do." Sirius says with a smirk as he moves up and Remus body, "You ready?"

"Beyond ready." Remus answers and Sirius once more kisses his mate.

Once he sees the nod Sirius places his tip to Remus's entrance and slowly enters. Once he is fully inside Sirius starts to slowly thrust,

"Faster Siri, faster." Remus moans and Sirius starts to quickly speed up while he changes his angel hitting Remus's prostate.

"SIRIUS." Remus cries out, in completely pleasure

"So tight, so perfect." Sirius moans, feeling the incredible heat and tightness of his mate, Sirius knowing that this is his favourite place to be.

After a couple of minutes Sirius starts to stroke Remus, causing Remus to moan more.

"Oh god, I'm so close Siri." Remus moans.

"I know. Come for me, Baby." Sirius whispers seductively, as he pounds harder.

"OH GOD, SIRI." Remus yells, starting to cum, as Remus tightens around Sirius, causing him to yell,

"REM." As he comes deep inside his mate, collapsing onto him, as he carefully pulls out.

For a few minutes the two of them lie together collecting their breaths before Remus once more starts to passionately kisses his mate,

"Round two." Remus says, flipping his mate over and starting to kiss down Sirius's body.

"Ohhhh, I like the sound of that." Sirius says with a grin as he shivers at the feeling of Remus's mouth on his skin.


Many hours later, both of them feeling completely satisfied, tough very tired, Remus and Sirius are lying in bed in each other's arms, not even caring that they have to be up in couple of hours to teach.

"I think that's out new record since we've been back together." Sirius comments with a grin.

"That it is." Remus confirms, placing a kiss to Sirius chest that he is leaning on, as Sirius runs his hands through Remus's hair.

"Thank you Moon. You have made this day one I'll never forget." Sirius says as he places a kiss on Remus's head.

"You're welcome Love, just think of this as the first of many." Remus says before gently kissing Sirius, "I love you."

"Love you too." Sirius responds and the two of them drift into silence and before too long they are both fall into peaceful sleep.


November 5th 1994

It has been two days since Sirius's birthday and the day Hermione and Harry have been dreading is coming the day of double potions.

"We really should have asked Sirius and Remus if we could skip this." Harry mutters.

"We really should have." Hermione says and as they turn the corridor into the corridor where the potion dungeons is they find that all the Slytherin are wearing badges of some kind.

"What's the bet this isn't going to be good." Harry mutters.

"It's really not." Hermione mutters.

"Just ignore them." Neville suggests, being pretty sure that it won't do him any good.

"Do you like them Potter, Lupin-Black?" Malfoy asks as he flashes the badges allowing Harry and Hermione to see that they flick between

POTTER AND LUPIN-BLACK STINK and SUPPORT CEDRIC DIGGORY, THE REAL HOGWARTS CHAMPION.

"Congrats Malfoy, you have the creativity of a five-year-old." Hermione tells him, "But then again that's pretty fitting considering that's you have the intelligence of one too."

"Don't you dare insult me! You're a traitor to the Black name!" Malfoy says, sounding furious, "You're pathetic!"

"No, you're confusing us again." Hermione says, before turning her back on Malfoy as she dos Malfoy pulls his wand and points it at her.

"MIONE." Harry says worried as he quickly pulls his own wand too and quickly turning around Hermione pulls hers too and for several minutes Harry, Hermione, and Malfoy stand frozen, with their wands pointed at each other, no one wanting to be the first to react. But before they can throw a spell the door to the dungeons open and Snape walks out, to be greeted by the scene.

"Fifty points form Gryffindor and detentions for both Potter and Lupin-Black." Snape reveals.

"What about Malfoy?" Hermione asks.

"That's another twenty points. Inside." Snape orders and everyone walks in, Hermione and Harry exchanging annoyed looks, as Neville looks at them in concern, while his own dread for the lesson grows.

"Antidotes!" Snape says, looking around them all, his cold black eyes glittering unpleasantly, "You should all have prepared your recipes now. I want you to brew them carefully, and then, we will be selecting someone whom to test one." Snape says and his eyes flicker towards Harry and Hermione, causing both of them to realise what is going to happen, Snape is going to poison one of them. But then, before Snape can say more there is a knock on the door.

Seconds later Colin Creevey walks in and heads straight to Snape,

"Yes?" Snape asks, curtly.

"Please, sir, I'm supposed to take Harry Potter and Hermione Lupin-Black upstairs." Colin says and Snape stares down at him, causing the smile to fade from Colin's face.

"Lupin-Black and Potter have another hour of Potions to complete." Snape says, coldly, "They will go upstairs once this class is finished." He says, causing Colin to go pink.

"Sir, sir, Mr. Bagman wants them." He says, sounding nervous, "All the champions have got to go, I think they want to take photographs." He says, and honestly both Harry and Hermione would have given almost anything to stop Colin from saying those last few words.

"Very well, very well." Snape snaps, "Potter, Lupin-Black, leave your things here. I want you both back down here later to test your antidotes."

"Please, Sir, they've got to take their things with them." Colin speaks, "All the champions…"

"Very well." Snape snaps, "Potter, Lupin-Black, take your bags and get out of my sight!"

Hurriedly getting up Harry and Hermione swings their bags over their shoulders and head for the door. As they walk through the Slytherin desk, POTTER AND LUPIN-BLACK STINK, flash at them from every direction.

"It's amazing, isn't it, Harry?" Colin asks, speaking the moment Harry and Hermione have closed the dungeon door behind him, "Isn't it, though? You two being champions?" Colin asks causing Harry and Hermione exchange looks.

"Yeah, amazing." Harry says sarcastically, though both he and Hermione bet that Colin didn't detect that.

"What do they want photos for, Colin?" Hermione asks curious.

"The Daily Prophet, I think."

"Great." Harry and Hermione say sarcastically.

"Just what we need, more publicity." Harry mutters and the three of them continue to walk in silence.

"Good luck!" Colin says as they reach the right room.

"Ready?" Harry asks Hermione.

"We don't have a choice." Hermione says as Harry knocks on the door and the two of them enter.

Walking into the room they find that it is a fairly small classroom; most of the have been pushed away to the back of the room, leaving a small space in the middle; three of them, however, have been placed end to end in front of the backboard and are covered in a long length of velvet. Six chairs are also sitting behind the velvet-covered desks, and Ludo Bagman is sitting in on of them, talking to a witch that Harry and Hermione realises is the same person who tried to talk to Hermione and Sirius when they went to Diagon Alley.

Looking around Harry and Hermione see that Krum is standing moodily in a corner, not talking to anyone while Cedric and Fleur seem to be deep in conversation with each other; Fleur looking happier than either Harry or Hermione have ever seen. There is also a paunchy man, holding a large black camera that is smoking slightly, who is watching Fleur out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly spotting Harry and Hermione, Bagman quickly gets up and hurries forward.

"Ah, here they are! Champions number four! In you come, Harry, Hermione, in you come, noting to worry about, it's just the wand weighing ceremony, the rest of the judges will be here in a moment."

"Wand weighing?" Harry asks, sounding worried, as he and Hermione exchange looks, neither sure what that means as even though she has been doing research into the tournament Hermione hasn't come across that yet.

"We have to check that your wands are fully functional, no problems, you know, as they're your most important tools in the tasks ahead." Bagman says, "The expert's upstairs now with Dumbledore. And then there's going to be a little photoshoot. This is Rita Skeeter."

"We've meet." Hermione says.

"She's doing a small piece on the tournament for the Daily Prophet….." Bagman says, continuing to speak.

"Maybe not that small, Ludo." Skeeter says, her eyes on Harry and Hermione, "I wonder if I could have a little word with Harry and Hermione before we start?" She says to Bagman, but her eyes are still on Harry and Hermione, "The youngest champions, you know, to add a bit of colour?"

"Certainly!" Bagman cries, "That's if it Harry and Hermione have no objection?"

"I don't think my fathers will like it." Hermione comments.

"Oh, they'll be fine with it." Skeeter tells Harry and Hermione, "It will just be a quick word."

"Er….." Harry says as he and Hermione exchange looks, neither looking very interested in that.

"Lovely." Skeeter says and she grabs both Harry and Hermione with each of her hands and starts to drag them towards another door but as she does the door that Harry and Hermione came from opens and Sirius and Remus come in.

"Dad! Papa!" Hermione says, sounding relived.

"Harry, Hermione, are you both okay?" Remus asks concerned.

"They're fine, the three of us are just going to have a little talk." Skeeter reveals.

"Is that something you two want?" Sirius asks his daughter and godson.

"No!" Harry and Hermione say together.

"Then I think you should let go of Harry and Hermione, Ms Skeeter, now." Remus says, his voice sounding forceful.

"Well, I would like to talk to all four of you, get your opinions on how you both feel about the events." Skeeter says as she lets go of Harry and Hermione.

"No." Sirius says, and Harry and Hermione walks over to Sirius and Remus, causing Skeeter to look very disappointed.

"Thank you." Harry and Hermione say together.

"Not a problem." Sirius says as he and Remus put protective hands on Harry and Hermione.

For the next few minutes everyone in the room stands in silence until the door opens and Albus, Karkaroff, Maxime, and Mr Crouch walk in with a man that Harry and Hermione recognize to be Ollivander.

"Take a seat everyone." Albus says and while Remus and Sirius stand by the door the champions sit on the chairs and the judges are now sitting up at the velvet covered table.

"May I introduce Mr. Ollivander?" Albus asks as he takes his place at the judges table, "We will be checking your wands to ensure that they are in good condition before the tournament." He explains.

"Mademoiselle Delacour, could we have you first, please?" Ollivander asks, stepping out into the empty space in the middle of the room.

Without a word Fleur sweeps over to Mr Ollivander and hands him her wand

"Hmmm." Ollivander says as he twirls the wand between his long fingers like a baton, causing it to emit a number of pink and gold sparks, once it does Olivander holds it close to his eyes and examines it carefully.

"Yes." He says quietly, "Nine and a half inches, inflexible, rosewood, and containing, dear me…."

"An 'air from ze 'ead of a veela." Fleur says, "One of my grandmuzzer's." Ollivanders says and as he does Harry and Hermione exchange looks, both thinking the same thing, that Ron would like to hear that, if he was talking to them that is.

"Yes." Ollivander says, "Yes, I've never used veela hair myself, of course. I find it makes for rather temperamental wands, however, to each his own if this suits you." Ollivander says as he runs his finger along the wand, apparently checking for scratches or bumps; then he mutters, "Orchideous!" causing flowers to burst form the wand.

"Very well, very well, it's in fine working order." Ollivanders says, scooping up the flowers and handing them to Fleur with her wand, "Mr Diggory, you next." Ollivander says and as Fleur glides back to her seat Cedric walks up.

"Ah, now, this is one of mine, isn't it?" Ollivander asks, looking much more enthusiastic, "Yes, I remember it well. Containing a single hair from the tail of a particularly fine male unicorn, must have bene seventeen hands; nearly gored me with hi horn after I plucked his tail. Twelve and a quarter inches, ash, pleasantly springy. It's in fine condition, you treat it regularly?"

"Polished it last night." Cedric says with a grin.

Looking down at his own wand Harry sees finger marks all off and so he grabs a fistful of robes and tries to rub it clean, causing several gold sparks to shoot out of the end.

"Just leave it. It's fine." Hermione whispers to Harry as Ollivander sends a stream of silver smoke rings across the room from the tip of Cedric's wand, and looking quite satisfied he says, "Mr. Krum if you please."

Walking up to Ollivander, with a scow, Krum hands his wand over with a thrust and stands with his hands in his pocket.

"Hmmm." Olivander says, "This is a Gregorovitch creation, unless I'm much mistaken? A fine wand maker, though the styling is never quiet what I…. however…" Ollivander says, examining it, turning it over and over before his eyes, "Yes, hornbeam and dragon heartstring." He asks Krum who nods, "Rather thicker than on usually sees, quite rigid, ten and a quarter inches, Avis!" he says and the hornbeam wand lets off a blast like a gun, and a number of small, twittering birds fly out of the end and out of the empty window.

"Next, Miss Lupin-Black." Ollivander says as Hermione gets up walks over to Ollivander,

"Yes, another one of mine, I remember." Ollivander comments, "Ten and three quarters inches, Dragon heart string, vine wood, a very unique and special combination, I haven't ever made another wand like it." Olivender comments, "I trust it works well for you?"

"Yes, Sir." Hermione answers and Ollivander continue to examine it, taking longer than he did the others before causing a fountain of wine to shoot out of it, "Perfect condition." He says as he hands the wand back and Hermione heads back over to her seat,

"Which leaves, Mr Potter." Ollivander says and Harry walks up.

"Aaah, yes." Oliverander says, his pale eyes gleaming as he examines it, "Yes, yes, yes. How well I remember." He says and honestly Harry does too. After spending even longer than he did with Hermione's wand Ollivander causes wine to shoot out of Harry's wand too and hands It back, once more saying that it is in perfect condition.

"Thank you all." Albus says, standing at the judges table, "You may go back to your lessons now, or perhaps it will be quicker to down to dinner as they are about to end." Albus comments, causing Harry and Hermione to exchange grateful looks, but before they can leave the man with the black camera jumps up and clears his throat.

"Photos, Dumbledore, photos." Bagman cries excitedly, "All the judges and champions, what do you think, Rita?"

"Er, yes, let's do those first." Skeeter who's eyes are once more on Harry and Hermione say, "And then perhaps some individual shots."

A while after, longer than Harry and Hermione were expecting, the photoshoot where Madame maaxine kept casting a shadow on everyone and Skeeter keep trying to get Harry and Hermione to be the focus, is finally over and everyone is annoyed to go.

"Can we do dinner in your quarters?" Hermione asks her parents.

"Please." Harry adds.

"Sure." Sirius and Remus answer and instead of going to the Great hall the Lupin-Black/Potter family head to Sirius and Remus's quarters, to have dinner together and as neither Harry or Hermione feel like going back to the Tower they end up sleeping in their room in Remus and Sirius's quarters.
