-1I wandered through the graveyard over to the old house. When inside, I walked up the rickety stairs.
I stood outside a room where Wormtail was taking to Voldemort who appeared to not be human.
"Maybe we could do it without the children?" Wormtail suggested.
"No! They are the most important of the plan," Voldemort retorted. A man walked out from behind the chair Voldemort sat in and kneeled in front of him. "You will help me won't you. Get them both here."
A giant snake slithered past my foot and into the room. It quietly hissed something to Voldemort.
"It appears that young Hannah Potter is at our door. Step aside Wormtail so I can give our guest a proper greeting," Voldemort said.
Wormtail turned around and smirked. He stepped to the side as Voldemort raised his wand.
"Avada Kedavra!" he shouted. I covered my face with my hands and the green light hit me.
My X-shaped scar on the back of my neck began to feel as though it was on fire.
"Hannah! Hannah wake up." I could hear Hermione calling out to me.
I managed to open my eyes and look around. It had only been a nightmare, thank goodness.
"Are you alright?" Emily asked. I nodded as I sat up.
"You gave us quite a scare," Parvati said. "Thought you were having a seizure or something."
"But then Ronald came down because Harry wanted to check up on you to see if you'd just had this freaky dream he's had that made his scar burn," Hermione said. "Was it?"
"Kind obvious isn't?" I asked.
"Oh yes, Malfoy's looking for you. Wants you to meet him outside of the library," Parvati said.
I gave the girls a nod and the quickly got dressed.
Before I went to go see Draco I went to see Harry who was still in his dorm.
I knocked on his door.
"Come in!" Neville answered. I pushed the door open slowly. Harry was sitting on his bed tying his shoes.
"How you feeling champ?" I asked. Harry sighed.
"Just a little nervous as usual," Harry said.
"You'll do fine. You'll come out alive and so will everyone else but the only difference is that you'll come out the winner," I said. Harry still looked glum. "Draco will be cheering for you."
"Gee that's motivation," Harry said sarcastically.
"Come on Harry don't be like that," I said. "This just goes to show you that even your enemies have you back."
"Hannah the only reason Draco's pretending to cheer for me is because you'll get mad at him if he doesn't," Harry said.
"And how do you know that?" I asked.
"I'm your brother. I know how scary you can be. If you're forceful with me then you'll be even tougher on your boy friend," Harry said.
"He could legitimately be cheering for you," I said.
"Sure Hannah and maybe I'll date Pansy some day," Harry said sarcastically.
"Bye," I said to him, completely annoyed.
"Oh remember to be down there with me at the tournament you're supposed to see me off into the maze," Harry said.
"I'll be there." I walk out the dorm and bounce downstairs to the common room where I found Danielle looking through a scrap book. I walked over to her.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Just looking through this scrap book of my parents and stuff. They were killed by a death eater," she said. I sat down next to her.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"It's alright. It happened so long ago that now I'm able to get over it. I just like to look at them every now and then," she said.
"I've got one of these too. It's the closest thing we have to memories," I said.
"I agree," Danielle said.
She flipped a page and there was a picture of the man from my dream that Voldemort was talking to.
"That man. . . Who is he?" I asked pointing.
"That's Barty Crouch Junior. He's the death eater that killed my parents," Danielle said. "You know Neville Longbottom? He helped Bellatrix Lestrange get his parents shortly after he killed mine."
I nodded.
"Well I gotta go meet Draco so I'll see you later," I said. Danielle nodded and I jogged out the common room.
I walked to the library where I found Draco talking to a Slytherin girl named Kristen Mills. Kristen never caused any problems with me until recently. I usually saw her hanging around Draco flipping her brown hair and flashing her green eyes flirtatiously. I worried about her more than Parkinson. I knew Draco loathed her, but Kristen was more personable to be honest she was a very pretty girl.
I skipped over to Draco.
"Hello Draco. Hi Kristen," I said.
"Hi Hannah," Kristen said. "We were just talking about you. Like how your taste in boys has gotten a helluva a lot better. You went from Seamus to Draco."
"I'd have to agree," I said. Kristen smiled innocently. It was impossible to hate her. I couldn't even come close to calling her a bitch because she was too nice. She almost couldn't be Slytherin.
"Well, I'll leave you two to talk. I'll see you later Draco," she said and she skipped away.
"Is it me or does her hair come past her ass?" I asked.
"It does. Once in our common room, she was sitting on her hair and she had quite a difficult time getting up with almost giving herself whiplash," Draco said. "It was really funny actually."
"Okay then. . . Anyway, you wanted to speak to me?" I asked.
"Yes I did," Draco said. He wrapped his arm around my waist. "Walk with me Hannah."
The two of us started to walk down the hallway.
"So what are you doing this summer?" he asked.
"I'll probably spend it over Ron's house like I always do," I said.
"Well how about you do something a little different this time? Even if it's just for a week," Draco said.
"That'd be nice even though I will miss Mrs. Weasley's cooking," I said.
"Come spend a week with me at my house this summer," Draco suggested. "I've already talked to my parents. All we need is your word."
*Spend the summer with my boy friend*
-My unnaturally hot boy friend-
*Or with the Weasley's and Mrs. Weasley's god like pot roast?*
-How am I supposed to choose between that?-
*Pot Roast is delicious... But So is Draco*
-They both smell good-
*I can't eat Draco*
-Well you could. . .-
*Ewe.*
"I dunno," I said.
"Come on, Hannah," Draco said taking my hands. "It'll be fun. Just you and me and my pool and we have a library that you'll you love and we can do anything you want."
I sighed. "How can I say no to you. But only for a week."
"I'm not very pleased with the fact that it's only for a week but okay," Draco said.
"If you cheer for Harry at the tournament today I'll stay for two," I said. Draco groaned.
"Why? You know I hate your brother," he said.
"Well between the two of you the feeling is mutual but it would make me happy and I would spend the summer with you and we'd all win," I said.
Draco sighed.
"Alright. But only because you're so darn attractive," Draco said.
"And people say good looks can't get you anywhere in life," I said.
"They don't get me anywhere with you," Draco said.
"Sure they do. I almost picked pot roast," I said.
"Pot Roast? Over me?" Draco scoffed. "Yeah right. . . I'm too sexy."
"I'm very much aware of that. In the mean time I'm going to go talk to Dumbledore about this summer so I can make sure I can come over."
"Why do you have to check with him?" Draco asked.
"Because he's my legal guardian," I said.
"Ugh! Fine. Having to make me wait. I detest waiting," Draco said.
"You're an instant gratification sort of a guy," I said.
"Yes, I am," he said. "And it took me far too long to get you."
I kissed him. "You won't have to wait too much longer."
In Dumbledore's Office
"No," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
Right now, I was staying at Hogwarts for the summer.
"During the first four days of school haw many detentions did you recieve?" Dumbledore asked.
"Two," I answered.
"For what reasons?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Being out of bed after hours and for disrespecting an authority figure," I said.
"I recall in January you received one from me also for instigating a fight," Dumbledore said.
"I was watching a fight, not instigating," I said.
"And also I recall you getting three from Mister Filch in February," Dumbledore said.
"He was clearly overreacting," I said.
"You turned Missus Norris purple," Dumbledore said.
"Yeah. . . But it was funny, wasn't it," I said.
"Not to mention the fact that you danced on the bar at Hogsmeade," Dumbledore said.
"I swear I don't remember that!" I said. "And are you going somewhere with these detentions?"
"If I can't trust you to be responsible at home, how can I trust you to go over your boyfriends house possibly unsupervised?" Dumbledore asked.
"Because while I take after my father a whole lot, I also take after my mother who has common sense, from what Lupin and Sirius have told me," I said.
"Give me one good reason that I should let you go," Dumbledore said.
"Because I love you," I said smiling widely.
"Awe, I love you too. . . Another reason," he said. I frowned.
"Because I never get to go anywhere besides Ron's house and he only has one sister and five brother's," I said. "And besides, you know deep down you trust me. I cause a lot of grief but I manage to keep a straight A average."
Dumbledore sighed.
"For two weeks," he said. I squealed with excitement and then regained my composure.
"And you mustn't share anymore altoids with Ginny," he added. I paused.
*Altoids with Ginny?*
-That game of truth or dare!-
"Who told you about that?" I asked. Dumbledore simply smiled.
"Go have fun, Hannah," he said.
I walked out his office and ran into Cho in the hallway.
"Hello Hannah," she said.
"Chang," I said.
"I just wanted you to wish Harry good luck for me," she said.
"Not cheering for your boyfriend today I see," I said.
"I am cheering for Cedric but Harry... He's my friend," Cho said her face turning pink.
*Why does it sound like Harry's feelings for Cho are mutual?*
-Because they are. She wants his body-
*Her and half the school. Harry could get any girl he wanted... Outside of Slytherin. Hell, even after that bad run they had at the Yule Ball, Parvati would go back with him.*
"Cho, can I ask you something honestly?" I asked. She nodded.
"Do you like my brother. I mean like-like, my brother?" I asked.
"Well, Harry's cute and really nice but I can't see us being more than friends," Cho replied.
"And why are you with Diggory?" I asked. Cho sighed and smiled. She looked down at her feet as her face blushed red.
"Because I love Cedric," she said.
*She loves Cedric? Well I did not see that coming.*
"Oh. . . Well. . . That's good to hear. . ."
"Hannah, I know you don't like me very much but I just want you to know that I think you're one of the nicest girls I've ever met and despite the fact that you are constantly putting me down, I'd really like to be your friend," Cho said. "I'll see you during the task."
*Why do I feel like an ass?*
"Hey Cho!" I called out. She turned around to me. "Tell Diggory to put on his best performance yet."
Cho smiled and bounced down the hall. I was just nice to Cho Chang. Next thing I know, I'd be calling Pansy Parkinson by her first name.
