The Triwizard Tournament
(Book: B4, 171-173 it continues to pour rain. Peeves drops water balloons on entering students. They make it into the Great Hall and settle down at the Gryffindor table.)
Under the table, Siria pointed her wand at the bottom of her drenched robes and boots. "Aer Calidus" She whispered with swift, waving mess that went with the incantation. Her wand erupted into stream of hot air, which steamed the water out of her robes. Hermione elbowed Siria almost immediately. "Really?" Hermione asked.
"Me next!" Ron requested. "I'm freezing." Though Hermione tsked, she didn't stop Siria from drying their robes.
"Hiya, Siria!" a breathless and excited voice called as Colin Creevey collided with Siria's shoulder.
"Hi, Colin" Siria smiled back. She turned her wand and took to drying his robes while Colin told Siria that, as per the letters she'd received, Colin's brother Dennis had been accepted to Hogwarts and was making his way across the lake with Hagrid. "I really hope he's in Gryffindor, but, I suppose any House is almost as good, right?"
"I'll keep my fingers crossed for Gryffindor, though." Siria assured him. He left to sit with his fellow third years.
(Book: B4, 174-183 The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor hasn't arrived. The Sorting Hat sings its song, sorts the new students, and the feast begins. After the feast, Dumbledore tells them new things have been added to the list of banned objects and that the Quidditch Tournament won't take place this year)
Though she saw it coming, Siria tsked. Her green eyes scanned across the Great Hall. First they went to the Hufflepuff table, where Cedric Diggory sat. She wouldn't get to beat him and show she was the better Seeker. Her green eyes trailed to the Slytherin table and fell on silver blonde hair of Draco Malfoy. Though her opinion of Malfoy seemed to waiver with each interaction, Siria wanted to beat him more than she wanted to beat Diggory.
(Book: B4, 184 Dumbledore continues that the Quidditch Tournament won't be happening because they're hosting a different event. Mad-Eye Moody enters. Dumbledore continues again & informs the school that Triwizard Tournament will be hosted, but only those 17 years of age and older may enter. This upsets a few students, specifically Fred & George Weasley, who plan to enter no matter what. The Tournament will start in October, when the other schools arrive. The feast ends and they return to Gryffindor Tower.)
"No wonder Sirius doesn't want you to enter." Hermione told Siria. Siria plopped onto her bed.
"Because he'd die of worry." Siria smirked. The rain was still thundering on the windows.
"Sure you'll be alright?" Hermione asked as she crawled into her own bed. Siria nodded.
"I only had the one nightmare all summer, so…" Siria sighed. More than anything she hoped she was over her nightmares.
