I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPTDATING IN LIKE A YEAR, BUT MOM BANNED ME FROM FFN. I WAS QUOTE 'TOO ADDICTED TO IT'. I DID GET INTO THE HIGHSCHOOL THAT I WANTED AND IT STARTS SEPT. 6TH- MY LITTLE SISTER'S STARTED AUGUST 18TH HEE HEE! ANYWAY KEEP THE COMMENTS FLOWING. THE BOOK ENDS NOW, BUT DON'T WORRY, A SEQUEL IS IN THE MAKING IF YOU DIDN'T SEE MY POLL.

NOW ON WITH THE STORY… (FINALLY!)

Fang POV

He sighed and put his head in his hands. They were in History of Magic and the only thing keep keeping him conscious was the fact that someone could attack him at any moment. Professor Moody was always saying "Constant vigilance!" and it was getting really old. Fang had been raised with that ingrained into his very being.

Flying was amazing yesterday, huh? I think I'm getting better. Well, at least I didn't hit that tree again; the centaurs would have had a fit!

Fang chuckled inwardly through their link. They'd been going to the Forbidden Forest every night. Harry really was getting better. Surprisingly, the creatures were accepting of the bird-kids. With the exception of Harry's 'tree incident' everything had been going well in paradise.

He squeezed Max's hand under the table. She sighed loudly, almost interrupting Binns. Fang rubbed circles on the back of her hand with his thumb as she ranted under her breath about 'dumb butt goblins that just couldn't stop having stupid impractical and utterly useless riots.' This was their least favorite class.

Ella had moved to sit with them, shedding her prejudices after a little while. Iggy seemed to have a giant crush on the girl. Max had been dragged into the weekly 'Girls' Night'. Fang would never admit that she looked prettier for it. He didn't mind her looks before, don't get him wrong, but she looked more radiant and healthy now that the girls were taking care of her.

Nudge was crushing on a Beauxbatons boy named Louie, but never dared to look at him. Gabby was trying to get the girl to confess, but Nudge was adamant that if he refused to accept all of her friends he could get bent and die. So far, he had been snubbing them all. Nudge was torn. Max was doing her best for the girl, but there really wasn't much that could be done.

Angel was gathering a group of study buddies in Ravenclaw. They were fine with Poppy, even helping her with homework. Some of the elder Beauxbatons students were coming to help out. There was a rumor of a whole research society being started.

Gazzy and Iggy were still helping Fred and George with their joke products under Max's shrewd eye. They split off whenever they could, sneaking out with the twins to do who knows what. More often than not you could Max screaming at them from all corners of the school. It even made Snape flinch sometimes.

Speaking of Max, the two of them hadn't gotten around to finishing their books. Max was too busy keeping their secrets safe and the kids in line. Fang was too busy trying to keep her from burning herself out. They both knew that it needed to be done, but were putting it off.

Hearing a snore coming from Harry, he reached back and cuffed his twin in the back of the head.

Rule number one: watch your back at all times. In this case though, it was the back of your head. Next time, it could be your throat.

Harry muttered to himself and shook Ron awake. Fang grinned slightly at the others, putting his arm around max's shoulders and settling in for a long class.

Harry POV

Classes were over and it was dinnertime. His stomach rumbled forcefully until the plates magically filled themselves. He reached for a turkey leg, but Fang smacked his hand away.

"Max is making gorditas tonight."

Squeals and yells of excitement from the Flock made him relax. He'd heard and seen the horror of Max's cooking. For some reason though, Fang said she could make her mother's family's secret dishes without a problem. Fang thinks it's some type of magic. Just then, the double doors swung open with a bang and max brought in plate after plate of gorditas, thanking some house elves. She levitated them to their side of the table and sent the other food elsewhere.

The smell was heavenly. She grinned happily and began tossing plates around. Harry caught one and looked at Fang.

"She does it for fun."

They each got as much as they wanted before Max took the rest around to friends. She got back, sat down gracelessly next to Fang and tore into her food.

The food really was almost magical in quality. Harry watched as Fang grinned widely at everyone. All of those who ate the gorditas were uncharacteristically happy. A Beauxbatons boy, Louie came over and sat with them, talking animatedly with max about her cooking.

Nudge quietly wormed her way into the conversation and turned his attention onto her. She blushed and stuttered slightly before continuing as normal. So this boy was the mysterious crush, hmm?

He smiled over at Cho. She blushed and giggled to her friends. Harry tuned into the conversation that Neville was trying to have with him about woodland plants. He really wasn't one for the subject, but he had the tact to listen.

Just as Neville was going to move on to water plants, Dumbledore called for silence. He felt a strange sinking feeling in his gut. He met Fang's eyes for a second. His twin must have had the same feeling. Something bad was about to happen. Well, at least he could die full to the brim with pumpkin juice and succulent magical gorditas.

Dumbledore stood up, levitating the goblet of fire to the front of the room, "Tonight, is the night. Our Champions have been chosen, now, they need only be named."

The Goblet of Fire's flames leapt higher and higher before turning a brilliant red instead of their usual blue. Suddenly they disappeared completely, a piece of paper twirling to the ground. Dumbledore snatched it out of thin air and read a name.

"The Beauxbatons Champion is… Fleur Delacour!"

Harry's stomach tightened as Gabby's sister made her way to the front of the room. Dumbledore guided her to a door as it popped up behind the Head Table. The door's thud echoed through the room. His chest squeezed slightly.

The flames returned to normal, before once more dancing upward and turning the colors of a phoenix in the sunlight. This time the paper was for Durmstrang.

"The Durmstrang Champion is… Viktor Krum!"

Loud roars hurt his newly sensitive ears. Krum walked through the door silently and without emotion. He found that it was getting harder for him to breathe. Fang's mind was a blank expanse to him. His eyes were endless pools of deep dark brown.

He let out a "Whoosh!" of air as Dumbledore called the Hogwarts Champion, "The Hogwarts Champion is… Cedric Diggory!"

Harry clapped, even as his feeling of dread grew. If possible Fang's face became even stonier. He looked at his brother's eyes and saw that they were now green. He'd just opened his mouth to ask why when another paper was thrown into the air by the Goblet of Fire. He felt like he was going to throw up as it floated gently into Dumbledore's hand.

The Hall was silent as the grave. He felt constricted. Harry needed to fly. He needed to fly far, far away. Right. Now. Fang grabbed his arm and pushed him roughly back into his seat before vanishing from sight.

Dumbledore called out a single name, "Harry Potter."

Utter silence.

"Harry Potter!" he bellowed.

His eyes nearly popped out of his head as a replica of him made his way to the front of the room.

I couldn't let this happen to you Harry. I'm sorry.

He looked around wildly and saw that his eyes were now brown.

Fang was taking his place in the Triwizard Tournament.
