June had come around and everyone was in the stands cheering on their favorite champion for the Tournament. Christi and Draco were standing together. He was standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her. Every now and then he would sneer at all the Durmstrang or Beauxbatons boys for ogling Christi like a piece of meat.

"Draco, stop. Just ignore them." Christi tells him.

"I can't. They're… looking at you."

She chews her lower lip as they all watch the four champions enter the giant maze. Christi worried for her sister as she knew there was a lot of dangerous stuff in that maze and there were chances that she could be killed.

"Love, please just ignore them. There are reasons for their staring." She said dropping him a hint hopefully it got etched into his head and made him think.

"What reason do they have when our relationship is public?"

She sighs and says, "Because I'm half Veela." She says just barely above a whisper.

"Repeat that I didn't hear you."

"I said it's because I'm half Veela. So that's why they're all staring at me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I was just too nervous… I'm so sorry. You've trusted me enough to show me you're true side but I never told you about this until now. I'm so sorry."

Draco just stares at her wide eyed.

"No way." He says.

She nods and chews her lower lip then looks back out to the maze, worried about her sister and his reaction. She wasn't sure if she wanted to see his reaction when it sunk in if it turned out badly.

Running through the maze, Caprice hated it. It scared her and that wasn't easy but this maze was bloody well terrifying. She just wanted to get out and fast. Every time she made a turn it was almost always a dead end then she'd have to turn around go and again. She was getting flustered and annoyed.

She didn't want to give up but she was close to it. She was starting to wonder why she even entered the Tournament anyway.

She reaches up and wipes the sweat off her brow and keeps running through the maze. She was dirty from getting wrapped up in vines that sprouted from the ground and pulled her into the dirt. She used the burning charm to burn the vines off her and she had gotten back up and kept on going.

Looking over to her right, she notices Viktor about to hex Harry. She jumps in and blocks the hex.

"Thanks." Harry pants.

"Not a problem." she gasped as he helped her up.

At that moment, they both see the cup and make a run for it. Caprice trips and falls at the last moment, and before Harry sees, he reaches the cup first. He grabs it then all of the sudden when Caprice looks up, she sees him being whisked away by the cup in a spiral.

She gapes, wide eyed. She had no idea it would be a Portkey. Though, using her head, it probably transported him to the outside of the maze.

Caprice shoots up red sparks and a few moments later, she's sent out of the maze. Christi looks up and sees Caprice empty handed. She sees her sister looking around in confusion and read her lips as she asked somebody "Where's Harry?"

"Shoot… She had to give up." Christi says mainly to herself.

Draco had just stayed silent. He still wasn't sure on what to say about her being half Veela. Yes, it was a very big shock to him. He wanted to know why she had hid it from him for so long. But now it all made sense of why guys were always looking her even when she was in sweats and a t-shirt.

He just wasn't sure on how he should react. She had hid something major from him when he had shown her the true side of him without all the walls, mask and persona he used on a daily basis. He couldn't understand of why she hid it from him. She could have trusted him with that secret as he wouldn't have told another soul.

Everyone starts murmuring wondering where Harry was as Caprice goes and gets checked out, then joins the crowd and sits next to her sister. Christi was watching and wondering where Harry was as well. Caprice looks over and sees that both Christi and Draco seem really quiet and that worried her but she goes back to watch the maze. A few moments later out of the corner of her eye, she sees Draco pull back and move away from Christi. After seeing him do that Christi shivers lightly at the breeze picking up and she slips her arms around herself, sighing.

Caprice moves over to where her sister was and goes and sits by her. "Knut for your thoughts?" Caprice asks.

"I'm in a load of trouble when we get home." Mutters Christi.

"Tell me why." demands Caprice.

"I kind of told two people our huge secret."

Caprice didn't react badly and said quietly, "Can they be trusted to keep it a secret?"

"I know of once of them can. The second, as of right now, I have no idea."

Caprice looked at her, furrowing her eyebrows, "Let me guess, it's Draco?" Christi nods. "Well just go and talk to him and make sure he knows it needs to be kept secret or else."

Christi nods and sighs. Soon after, Harry comes back looking as white as a sheet. He was shaking and he was yelling that Voldemort was back repeatedly.

Everyone looked at each other and all paled visibly. People start freaking out at the prospect of Voldemort being back. Others scoffed and said he was lying. They were just denying the truth though.

Soon after, Harry was taken away, and everyone was sent to their common rooms.

Heading into the Slytherin Common Room, Christi sees Draco sitting on one of the sofa's reading a book.

"Hey Draco can we talk?" Christi asks hesitantly chewing her lower lip nervously.

"Sure."

"I need to talk to you privately."

Draco shrugged and led her up to his dormitory so that no one in the Common Room would hear them.

"What I told you at the final task… you really need to keep it to yourself because if it gets around school, Caprice and I will never be left alone. Please promise me that you'll keep this to yourself."

Draco frowned, "Of course I'll keep it to myself. What do you think, that I'm such a prick I'd do that to you?" he snaps.

He was still upset that she had kept that from him after he had told her about him, like not wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. He let her see the person who he was behind the mask and persona he wore while at school.

"No! It's just that if all the guys in the school find out that I'm an unmarked Veela woman they'll be all over me in a matter of seconds. Merlin, Draco, I think I might be bloody damn well falling in love with you and I don't want to lose that and this is all scaring me! I was bloody damn well scared of this happening when I told you!" she yells in tears then nearly runs out of the common room and out of the dungeons. She makes a break for the Gryffindor Common Rooms so she could talk to Caprice.

"Moon calf," Christi quickly says the current password to the Fat Lady, having got it from Caprice. She enters the red Common Room and sees Fred, George and Lee on one of the couches. She walks up to them and asks, "Where's Caprice?"

"She's in her dormitory, trying to sleep." Fred says. "It's the fourth dormitory, in case you don't know."

"Thank you." she sighs, shaking her self mentally. She runs up to Caprice's dormitory and knocks on the door.

"Come in." Caprice says quietly. Christi entered and saw Caprice writing in a small book. Caprice looks up and frowns at her shaken sister, "Hey you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost… Well, that's sort of normal, but you get it."

Even though Christi got on her nerves sometimes, Caprice still loved her younger sister and whenever she was upset she was worried about her. She watches as her sister just shrugs.

"Don't shrug answer me. You're up here for a reason."

"Draco and I had a huge fight and I just ran out of there…" she mutters, "He hates me now. I don't even know if we're still together or not. He just really hates me right now. And I'm pretty sure that I let it slip that I might be falling in love with him I don't know."

Caprice sighs and pats the bed next to her. Christi goes and sits and Caprice says, "You need to confront him and not run out. You two just need to fight it out until you can't fight anymore, and just let it all out."

"I know. I just didn't want to lose my temper and let the harpy side come out."

"Do you remember those meditation techniques that Father taught us from a young age?"

"Yes."

"Use them throughout the fight and just get it all out. You need to fight it out or you two will never have a stable relationship. Like Fred and I. We fought and had a mini break but now we're back together. It's normal to fight, trust me."

Christi nods and sighs. "I just don't want to fight with him. It really sucks."

"I know it does, kid but it's all part of being in relationship." Caprice says, hugging her sister. Christi hugs her back in tears.

She hated fighting with Draco. She didn't want them to fight but now they were fighting again and it royally sucked. She hated it the last time and now it was happening all over again. Both of the fights were her fault. First she overreacted when he was talking with Pansy and now it was over her hiding that she was part Veela from him.

Caprice rubs her back and holds her close to her. It bothered her when Christi cried.

After a few minutes Christi calms down then leaves to go and talk to Draco. She slowly walks down the hallway slowly thinking of what she was going to say to Draco when she got back down to the dungeons. Approaching the portrait of Salazar Slytherin she gives him the password then enters the common room, finding a few people there, including Crabbe and Goyle.

She goes over and asks them "Where's Draco?"

"In our dormitory." Crabbe answers, "He's sort of fuming. He's real angry."

Christi nods and goes up the stairs to his dormitory. She finds him sitting on the bed. HE looks up and opens his mouth, but before he can say anything, Christi interrupts him.

"Look, I'm really sorry for hiding it from you all this time but I was scared that you only really were attracted to me because I was half Veela and that was the only reason you were with me. I was scared that if I was true, I would lose you and I don't want that. I've liked you since second year when McGonagall paired us together in Transfiguration and you made our teacup the bunny and gave it to me. So I hid it to protect myself and my sister along with my emotions. I'm sorry for everything! I'm sorry." She says.

Draco frowns and begins, "You should've trusted me more! I would have never done something like that to you! What don't you get about that?"

"I was scared! I know I should have trusted you more but I… I don't know. I was stupid not to trust you and I'm sorry."

"Well you should have!"

"I know, Draco, I'm sorry! How many times do I have to say it?"

"An amount will not make up for it! You've really betrayed our trusting relationship-but I guess there never really was any trust."

"What the hell do you mean about that?"

"You didn't trust me enough to tell me you were a Veela, you didn't trust me to not cheat on your with Pansy, you didn't trust me enough to keep your secret, Christi!"

"I know, and I'm sorry! I'm so sorry that all of our fights have been my fault! I just… Okay, well it's not that I didn't trust you with Pansy, but I didn't trust Pansy with you."

He rolled his eyes, "And didn't you think about what I'd have done if she tried anything with me?"

"You two were obviously flirting." she said defensively, "I know, I'm a jealous person, but that's me!"

Draco softened slightly, "I love the jealousy in you. But I hate the distrust in you!"

"Draco, I was told by my mum and dad and sister, my grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins, and every other member of my family to not tell anybody about me being a Veela. You are really no acception."

"Well you told me, so obviously I am."

She nodded, "Now you are. Now that we're serious enough… See, here's the thing… I've been trying to figure out a way to tell you for months, Draco. I've asked my sister, I've asked Fleur Delacour, I've owled my cousins and asked them, but no one's given me any advice. I was close to asking my mum, but she would have said to not tell anyone."

"So you just didn't tell me? Ever?"

"I was trying to figure it out!" she wailed, "And trust me, it's been eating me up! I've felt so guilty, especially when you told me things about you, I know I wasn't telling you everything about me, but I've been wracked with guilt and it's been driving me insane, I swear! I've endured so much and I've had a constant headache because of all the remorse! Draco, I just… I didn't know how to tell you."

He sighed after a few minutes of silence, "Well I guess you've gotten enough punishment."

"So where does this leave us?" she asked

He smiled weakly at her, "I do love you."

She smiled brightly. That was the first time he'd said that. Christi said quietly, "I love you, too."

He walked over to her and took her in his arms, kissing her gently. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear that too well."

She giggled and said louder, "I love you, too, Draco."
