Chapter 5
Meet the Schools.
When everyone got off the train, there was one welcome sight I saw when I hopped off.
It was Scarlett "Scar" Zimmerman, fellow Slytherin a year above me.
"Hey, Scar!" I shouted, running up to hug her. "Good to see you again." I added smiling.
"You too, girl!" Scar said, smirking "Come on, let's get a carriage." she added, taking my arm and walking with me to a carriage.
"Ok, how was your summer?" I asked Scar as we walked, Ivy close behind.
"Oh, great. But uneventful. Yours?" Scar asked, opening the door to a carriage.
"Mine was awesome. And didn't you go to the World Cup?" I asked, shocked.
Scar shook her head as I climbed in the carriage. There were only two occupants inside.
Sheila and She-Cat.
"Hey, guys!" I said, hugging each of them in turn.
"Hey, Han, how was the game?" She-Cat asked as I sat down "Can you believe what happened? I was running and running, it was so scary!"
I lounged across the seat "So, apart from the World Cup, how were your summers?" I asked.
"Great!" Sheila said , beaming "I finally had She-Cat up to do some wizard stuff for once and-"
"I transformed into a cat in front of my parents. You should have seen their faces!"
I laughed while Scar sat there, not looking as amused as I was. "How did they react when they found out Hogwarts was making you learn more weird stuff." I asked as the carriage got moving.
"They haven't found out yet." She-Cat said, smirking.
I mirrored that smirk "I'd bet my broomstick they'd freak out."
"You'd win that bet." She-Cat and Sheila said together.
I turned to Scar, who stayed quiet for most of the ride "How do you think She-Cat's parents would react, Scar?" I asked.
Scar looked at me "Well, all Muggles freak out at the sight of magic. I'd guess Ramona's parents would freak out even more." Scar said as the carriage stopped.
"Good point." I said, stepping out of the carriage and slipping "Hell!" I shouted before Scar caught me, right in front of Crabbe, Goyle…and Draco.
I turned to Scar as we started towards the castle "Thanks." I said, dusting myself off as Draco, Crabbe and Goyle walked past, the two latter boys snickering at me.
"Smooth move, graceful!" Crabbe shouted at me before he walked past, laughing.
Draco just looked at me before walking off "Yeah, good one, boys." he said.
I took a deep breath as Ivy walked up to me as Blaise walked beside Draco. "Hey, do you know there are other schools here?"
I looked at her and shook my head "No. But it would be an impossibility. Term's just begun. No school would have time to head for another school today."
"Well, it's true. Come on." Ivy said, grabbing my arm "Let's head into the Great Hall."
"Yeah." I said, looking to Crabbe and Goyle, laughing in between Draco and Blaise "I think I'll sit with you guys this time around."
Ivy smirked and grabbed my arm, placing me in between her and Harry, Ron and Hermione next to them, and the Weasley twins across from me.
…
The bomb was dropped before the feast began. Dumbledore had announced that there wasn't going to be a Quidditch Cup this year.
Fred, George, me and even Annabelle Drosie, my worst enemy gaped and shouted "WHAT!"
"Instead of that, there will be an ancient competition that has just been reinstated. The Triwizard Tournament. The three top wizarding schools in Europe have met up in the past and a champion has been chosen for each school. These Champions must go through three challenges. The winner of the Tournament has gone down in history and had received one thousand Galleons in prize money."
Dumbledore went on to explain that there was a Goblet that would choose the champions that put their names in and their school on a slip of parchment. But, that person had to be over seventeen.
Then, he introduced the first school competing in the Tournament, the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic…an all girls FRENCH school.
I watched all the boys reaction as the schoolgirls walked into the hall giggling and doing their magic tricks.
I looked over to the Slytherin table and saw that Draco was ogling the one girl with silvery blond hair and a slender bodice.
I snarled when they stood up by the high table "I don't like them much." I said, crossing my arms.
Then Dumbledore introduced the other school competing, the Durmstrang Institute, an all boys Bulgarian school.
I uncrossed my arms when the boys barged in and did a staff routine instead of the preppy magic the Beauxbatons girls did.
"Cute boy alert!" I said to Ivy, who rolled her eyes in return.
One boy in the crowd once the boys were done, looked over to me at the Slytherin table and winked. The same boy swished his brown hair out of his face and sat down next to Draco (Who was also sitting beside Krum."
I nudged Ivy "Ivy, did you see that? He winked at me!" I said amused.
Ivy rolled her eyes "Yes, I did."
The feast began. As I ate, I stole glances at the Bulgarian Winker-Boy. He was kind of cute…I mean, not Draco cute, but cute for a Bulgarian.
"Isn't that boy cute?" I asked Ginny, nodding towards the Slytherin table and the brown haired boy.
Ginny gaped and sneered "That's Fyaro Delmonte!" she said, rolling her eyes "His father's in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office in the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic. I would know. When I was younger his dad did business with my dad, and I had to play with the bastard. He's mean, manipulative and rude."
I bit my lip. You missed out cute. I thought to myself.
