I bet I surprised some of you with the last chapter, huh? ...Or maybe not ;) So I'm going to do something a little different..for each chapter, I'm going to have a trivia question from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and whoever gets it right will get the next chapter dedicated to them! The answers to most of the questions will usually ONLY be in the book, not the movie. Ok, Here's the first question: At the quidditch world cup, what and how much did Fred and George bet Ludo Bagman? The answer will be in the next chapter!
As always, Enjoy & REVIEW! :)
Nina's POV
I bade Harry goodbye and hurried to the Gryffindor common room to get my things. I was happy to see Fabian waiting for me there.
"Hey," he said, looking worried. "Are you OK? What happened?"
I smiled, glad he cared about me. "I'm fine. We explained to Dumbledore what really happened, and then he..." I hesitated, wondering if I should tell him what Dumbledore really said. "he...asked me how I liked Hogwarts so far."
He visibly relaxed. "Oh, thats good. What did you tell him?"
"I said that we liked it."
"Cool." he said. He reached out and pulled a piece of pasta out of my hair. "Unless you wanted that there." he said, grinning.
I laughed, remembering that fateful day when we decided to go up into the attic. "Look who's talking lettuce head." I said teasingly, pulling a piece out of his hair.
A few days later, Fabian, Patricia , Amber and I were sitting in an empty classroom having our first Sibuna meeting since we got here.
"So, what do you think of all this?" Fabian asked.
"I think its weird. I still have no idea what's going on." Amber said.
"Well, here's what we know," I said. "We know that theres an evil wizard thats supposedly dead out there that killed my-uh, I mean Harry's parents. Victor may or may not have been on his side. We are powerful witches and wizards, which is pretty obvious because we've been here 5 days and we're already almost caught up to everyone." I bit my tounge to keep from saying about Harry and I being siblings. I had gone five days without saying anything to them about it. I knew I probably should tell them, but Dumbledore told me I shouldn't. I just don't know. I'll tell them eventually I guess.
Fabian shook his head. "It all seems so unreal...I mean, I keep expecting someone to popout and say 'APRIL FOOLS!' or something."
"It's October," I pointed out, grinning. "But I know what you mean. And how about this inter school competition thing? I want to know more about that."
"Well, we'll find out when they come on Friday." Patricia said.
"Also, another thing I was wondering, is should we have everyone from Anubis house join Sibuna?" I asked.
The others paused, considering. "Maybe." Fabian said finally. "Let's wait a bit and see what happens."
"Okay. But what about Harry, Hermione and Ron?" Over the past few days, we had become good friends with them. Plus, Harry was my brother, so I felt like I had to include and trust him.
"I don't know. We can probably trust them, but does it make sense for us to include them but not the rest of Anubis house? And anyway, we don't know for sure that we can trust them." Patricia said.
"We can definetly trust them." I said quickly. Everone looked at me questioningly. "Uh, it's just, Harry seems trustworthy...and so do Hermione and Ron..."
Fabian looked at me with a strange expression on his face. Ugh, I hate keeping secrets from him...and Patricia and Amber too of course...but especially Fabian.
"Why does Harry seem so trustworthy?" he asked.
"Umm...well it's just...a feeling..." I started, my voice trailing off.
"Ooohhh, I get it," Amber piped up. "You LIKE him!"
"WHAT? No I don't!" Oh god, Amber WOULD think of that...
"Oh, that's right, you like Fa-" Amber started but I cut her off before she could finish.
"Anyway, what do you guys think?" I said hastily interupting Amber before she could humiliate me. Fabian looked between us questioningly.
" I don't know..." he said. "Let's wait a bit."
I nodded. "Okay, then we'll wait."
"But we definetly have to find out more about this place. And that tournament thing." Patricia said.
"Definetly." I replied. "Sibuna?"
"Sibuna!" Fabian, Amber and Patricia said, putting their hands over their eyes.
Harry's POV
I was walking down the corridor, when I heard voices coming from an empty classroom. I peeked in, and saw Nina, Fabian, Amber and Patricia sitting in a circle.
"But we definetly have to find out more about this place. And that tournament thing." I heard Patricia say.
"Definetly." said Nina. Then she did something extremely strange. She put her right hand over her eye and said "Sibuna!" The others repeated the gesture.
As they started the leave I quickly walked to the end of the corridor. What were they doing? Was that a secret death eater sign? Were they spies for Voldemort? I shook my head. I was being crazy. This was my sister I was talking about! Or so I thought...maybe she wasn't really my sister. maybe Dumbledore was wrong.
"Oh, hey Harry!" Nina said as she and the others exited the classroom.
I faked a smile. "Hi."
The five of us walked back to the common room together, with my suspicions clouding my mind.
For the rest of the week, I didn't notice anything odd about Nina or Fabian or Amber or even Patricia. They all seemed normal...But I could tell they were hiding something from me. They were always giving each other secret looks(Well, Nina and Fabian always do that, and now that I think about it I agree with Amber when she says that they are 'TOTALLY in love' with each other.) and whispering but stopping abruptly when Ron, Hermione or I come over.
Meanwhile, I had been spending alot of time with Mara. She was EXACTLY like Hermione. I mean seriously, sometimes it was scary how much they were alike. Yet, Mara was different in some ways that I'm not sure how to describe. She was extremely pretty, smart and funny and she actually ended up helping ME with homework...which is weird considering she just got here, and this is my fourth year here. She and Hermione got along great(naturally) and before long, I liked her as more than a friend. But, there was one problem: she was dating Mick.
I wasn't a big fan of Mick when he first came, and I'm still not. He's obsessed with all these muggle sports, and all him and Dean Thomas talk about is soccer. It's quite annoying. He eats nonstop, and he's about as dumb as Crabbe and Goyle. Ok, not THAT stupid, but close to it. Without Mara tutoring him, he'd fail everything. Also, sometimes when I'm talking to Mara, he'll come over and be like 'Hey Maraculous!' and just start talking to her. It drives me mad.
Ron and Hermione were still acting strange. One minute they were best friends, the next they were ticked off at each other. I just didn't get it. Although, I was beginning to suspect that Ron had tried to ask out Hermione, but she said no because he kept dropping hints about being rejected. But when I asked him about it, he just shook his head and said 'I don't know what you're talking about.'
"Ohmigod, is that VIKTOR KRUM?" Amber squealed as the students from Durmstrang walked into Hogwarts. Amber had wasted no time catching up on Wizarding world celebrity gossip magazines as soon as she got here. Parvarti and Lavender had lent her some of theirs, and ever since then she's been squealing about Krum.
"Yes! It is!" exclaimed Ron, who looked almost equally excited to see Krum.
"He is soooooo hot!" giggled Parvarti.
"I know...just look at him...I wish I had been at the quidditch cup this summer so I could see him play." Amber sighed.
"Amber, you didn't even know quidditch existed last summer." Mara pointed out, rolling her eyes. "And, once you found out about it you said it was dumb."
"Yeah, well, its not dumb when he plays it!"
Mara and I looked at each other and shook our heads, grinning.
Fabian's POV
"It'll probably be something extremely difficult, yet not exactly life threatening." Hermione was saying. Her, Nina, Ron and I were discussing what we thought the tasks would be.
"Yeah, my dad says that they made it a lot safer this year. People have died in these things." Ron said.
"I hope that doesn't happen this year." Nina said.
I looked over at the Durmstrang students entering the castle, and heard Amber, Parvarti and Lavender squealing about Victor Krum again. I saw Dumbledore shaking hands with the headmaster at Durmstrang...and did a double take. Was that who I thought it was?
"Hey, Nina." I said. "look over at Dumbledore shaking hands with the headmaster of Durmstrang. Does he look...farmiliar to you?"
She looked over to where I was pointing, and turned back around with a look of horror on her face.
"Oh my god..." She breathed. "Is that...Rufus Zeno?"
hehehe...don't ya just LOVE cliffhangers? I know I do ;) REVIEW! And remember, if you get the trivia question right, the next chapter will be dedicated to you!
