Chapter 5: New Feelings
Harry sat by the lake and looked out at it. He was worried about the first task. He had no clue what he was even supposed to do so how could he prepare for the task. Suddenly he heard voices behind him and he turned around to see Ron, Hermione, and Callie. Hermione walked over to him.
"Ronald would like me to tell you that Hagrid would like you to meet him tonight at eight" Hermione said.
"Ok well tell Ron..."
"I'm not an owl! Hermione interrupted and stormed off. Ron glared and Harry and followed her. Callie stayed behind and sighed before walking over to Harry.
"You know Ron could hear you I mean he was what? Three feet away?" she chuckled sarcastically.
"I don't need to hear smart aleck comments from you Callie. I've got the entire school to do that" Harry snapped.
"Look Potter, I'm one of the only people here that don't think you put your name in that goblet ok! I'm on your side and I've been busting my tukas trying to defend you but you obviously don't appreciate that" She pivoted and was about to walk away when she felt Harry grab her arm.
"I'm sorry Callie," Harry apologized, "I didn't mean what I said. You really believe me?"
"Of course" Callie said turning back around to face him, "I mean the fact is that there's no way you intentionally put your name in that goblet. It doesn't make sense."
"Yeah well there's nothing I can do about it now. What's done is done and so I'm going to be competing, whether I like it or not." Harry sighed.
"Well I'm routing for you" Callie said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks Cal," Harry smiled placing his hand on hers. She pulled it away and took a step back, "What's wrong?" he asked.
"You called me Cal" Callie replied.
"You don't like that name?" He asked.
"No it's not that I just. I haven't been called Cal in a while. But you can call me Cal if you want." She never thought about it before but Harry did remind her of Adam a little. They were both protective of the people they cared about and would risk their own lives to save them. They were also both very sweet and even their smiles were similar.
Harry smiled at her and lifted his hand to her face to put a stray piece of hair behind her ear. She blushed lightly hoping he didn't notice. She looked up into his gorgeous green eyes. They were definitely his best feature and she could lose herself in them all day.
"So does your cousin go with you to Beauxbatons?" Harry asked.
Callie sighed. That boy sure knew how to ruin a moment. "Nah she goes to Hogwarts. I'm sure you've seen her. She's the blond in all pink that hangs with Cho Chang."
"Your cousin and Cho are friends? Do you know Cho too?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Unfortunately" Callie replied. "See I visit my aunt for a month every summer. I have since I was 6. So Cho was always over to play with Sharon. They always ganged up against me and forced me to dress up in a pink tutu and sing 'I'm a little teapot' at my aunt's yearly summer parties. That's why I hate the color pink and refuse to wear any pink at all. Anyways one day when I was nine I'd had enough and Cho was trying to force me to wear the tutu and sing the song and I didn't want to so I punched her. She had a shiner for weeks and we've been enemies ever since.
"Well I'm sure she's changed now. I mean she seems like a nice girl and she's really pretty" Harry said.
Callie didn't say anything. She felt a burning in the pit of her stomach yet at the same time her fingers felt ice cold. She felt like her animosity towards Cho had just increased. She realized she was jealous of Cho. Callie didn't like feeling jealous.
"Um how do you like attending Beauxbatons" Harry asked.
"I hate it actually" Callie answered, "They have this etiquette class we're required to take. It's more like a learn how to be a Stepford Wife class. I mean all we learned was how to be an obedient wife and good hostess. Then of course their's the Jezebels, this clique of girls who delight in aggravating the hell of me. It's like having 5 of my cousin around. I wish I could go to Hogwarts. I feel at home here if that sounds dumb"
"No it's not" Harry said, "This place is like home to me too"
"Yeah" Callie nodded and looked at her watch. "Well I'd better go or I'll be late to Stepford Wife class." She pivoted and walked towards the castle.
At eight o' clock Harry arrived at Hagrid's hut. He saw Madame Maxine there as well. "Ello Monsieur Potter. I 'ere you 'ave been 'anging around Miz Anderson quite a beet" she spoke.
"Yes Madame" Harry confirmed.
"Ou are veree brave. Zat iz all I can say" she added just as Hagrid came out of the hut.
"Ah Harry you're her" hagrid smiled, "Well we best be going. Follow meh" He led them into the forest. Harry could hear roars in the distance and finally he saw what Hagrid had come to show him, dragons.
"The first task is dragons?" Harry asked.
"Yep" Hagrid answered, "well yuv seen enuf now. We best be heading back." On the way back they passed Kararoff.
"I guess he'll know about the dragons too" Harry whispered. Harry then realized Cedric was the only one who didn't know about the dragons. Maxine would tell Fleur and Karkaroff would tell Krum. It was only fair that Cedric was informed as well.
"Cedric" Harry called, "I need to talk to you"
"Yes Harry" Cedric said stopping to talk to Harry.
"I wanted to tell you because the other champions all know and it's only fair you know too. The first task is dragons." Harry whispered.
"Really?" Cedric asked.
"Yes" Harry replied.
"Oh. Thanks Harry" Cedric said.
"No problem" Harry said, "Like I mentioned it's only fair"
"Mr. Potter may I speak with you" It was Moody.
Harry nodded and followed the professor into his office.
"What did you want to see me for professor" Harry asked.
"You know about the first task. I just wanted to make sure you've got a strategy planned"
"Strategy sir?" Harry asked confused.
"Come on now boy you can't expect that just because you know what you're up against now you can run it and complete the task. Every one of those champions will have some sort of strategy." Moody shook his head sadly
"But sir how do I come up with one" Harry asked.
"Son all you have to do is find your strength and use it" Moody sighed, "I hear you're a good flier"
"Am I allowed to use a broom?" Harry asked.
"You are allowed to use a wand." Moody smirked, "Figure it out. You're dismissed"
Harry spent weeks perfecting the Summoning Charm with Hermione's help. Finally, the day of the first task arrived. Harry sat in the tent. His stomach was queasy. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to do this. Suddenly, he felt a hand on either shoulder. It was Fred and George.
"Harry we just wanted…" Fred started.
"To give you some advice for today" George finished. "Advice number one don't screw it up"
"Advice number two, don't screw it up"
"And there's always my personal favorite" George added, "don't screw it up"
"Sheket b'vah kah sha (1) you two only making him more nervous" a voice said behind the twins. Callie pushed between them and smiled at Harry. She'd goten real close with the twins over the past few weeks and she liked hanging with them. "Now both of you skedaddle before I start ranting in Yiddish"
"Alright we're going we're going" Fred sighed and he and George left the tent.
"Sorry about those two but I mean well you know" Callie smiled.
"Yeah I do" Harry exhaled.
"Nervous?" Callie asked.
"Very" Harry replied.
"Don't be" Callie said, "You're a great wizard whether you think so or not. Plus you've been practicing that spell for weeks. I've seen you do it you'll be fine. Just believe in yourself. Mind over matter. Oh and one other thing trust your instincts Harry. Take it from personal experience your instincts are right about 98 percent of the time. They'll guide you if you listen to them" She walked toward the opening of the tent "Oh and Harry don't screw it up" she winked at him and headed out of the tent. Harry smiled. He felt much better now.
A/N: Ok so callie is strarting to have a crush on Harry but he's still enamoured with Cho. Yeah I used a high level vocab word. I'm in AP English so it happens every so often. lol. anyways I'm gonna skip the 1st task mainly cause you all know what happens and I just don't feel like writing it. I'll proably just start the chapter during the "harry got the egg" celebration. anyways review review review. please I want feed back damn it! No flames though.
(1) Sheket b'vah kah sha is hebrew and and can be roughly translated as "close you mouth"
