Helloooo, my readers!
I would like to say, that the Triwizard Tournament has won! YAY!!!
I know a lot of you readers really wanted it to win, since most of you picked it. So, now I get to write it in my story! I'm so excited!! YAYZ!
Anyway, I think I have a good idea on who I want it in, maybe three girls and three guys if I do six wizards, or three guys and two girls if I do five wizards.
I'm very hyper and the song that I'm listening to is sort of fueling it!
Not much to say, so I'll start.
Chapter 11
Dream
Third Person POV
A woman with blonde hair, red eyes and pale skin walked down the dark streets in England, far from that school, where she fed on a student. She was satisfied with the boy she drained, but if only she could of drained the girl that was off to the side. Too bad she screamed.
The woman knew there were other vampires in the building, along with werewolves. She smelled them when she entered the school grounds.
The woman turned down a dark alleyway, her shoes making slapping noises as they hit the pavement. "Master?" the woman called out in a musical voice. Seconds later, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere. "Yes, Meredith?" the figure spoke in a quiet high pitched voice.
The girl bowed. "Master, I have come back from my hunt. I went to the school like you asked. I was only to find one boy who knew information about the Cullens, but I was so thirsty. Plus, I smelled them in the school, along with the werewolves." Meredith reported.
"Hmm, excellent, Meredith. You have confirmed that the Cullens are there, along with more werewolves. You may go hunting more if you'd like. I must report back to the Dark Lord." The figure began to turn away, but Meredith stopped her. "Master?" the figure turned back around. "Yes?"
"I found these letters while I went searching. I knew the first coven- the one with the two humans- are there already. But, the other coven should be arriving there in a few weeks." Meredith reported again. The figure nodded and gave her praise, then sent her off. The figure turned around again and jumped through the air.
The figure ran off into the night, quietly, with the thirst nearly making her loose her focus. She ran until she was out of the city and at the edge of the forest. There, she stopped. Dark cloaked figures stepped out of the shadows. Only one of the cloaked people had there hood down.
The man had papery skin, but still looked rock hard and pale. His hair was long and sleek black, almost matching with his robe, and his milky, ruby red eyes were bright and excited.
"Ah, Jane. I see you must have news about our mission?" the man asked the little girl, since she stepped into the moonlight. "Yes, master. I have received news from Meredith that the Cullens and the werewolves are there. But, another coven dwells with them. Plus, another coven should be coming to join them in a few weeks time." Jane reported. The man nodded and said he must report it to the Dark Lord.
"You may go and find more recruits, Jane." The man waved her off, where Jane ran back to the city. The man turned to two more cloaked figures and said, "Brothers, we are so close to finally gaining the most powerful jewels for my collection." The man said to the two figures. "Ah, yes, Aro. But, we mustn't disobey the Dark Lord. We may be close, but we must help him destroy the young wizard, Harry Potter." The figure on the right warned him.
"Ah, I know, Caius. I will not go against the Dark Lord's commands." Aro chided Caius, the figure on the right. "What, you have nothing to say, Marcus?" The figure on the right, Caius, asked him. The figure called Marcus shrugged and shook his head.
"Always the bored one." Aro commented, heading off back in the forest, with the two figures following him.
The scene changed over to the school, where it had a small boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, the Slytherin crest on his robes, walking around. He only held a lantern in front of him, showing if he would bump into anything. It was raining outside, as thunder and lightning collided outside. He jumped whenever they met.
He padded his way down the halls, taking lefts and rights. He stopped in front of the Room of Requirement and waited. Suddenly, the door appeared. But, before it could fully appear and open its doors, the boy ran off, swinging the lantern around. He couldn't wait to tell Professor Umbridge of his findings.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Harry's POV
I jolted upright in my bed, gasping as sweat was on my forehead. I looked around and saw that it was still dark out, with the other boys sound asleep. I threw the quilt and sheets off, and ran to the common room, knowing that Bella and Edward would be there.
I was in luck, they were there, cuddling and talking quietly. Edward snapped his head up at me, Bella following his lead. "What is it, Harry?" Bella asked me, concerned. "Two dreams happened while I was asleep. The Volturi know about you being here, and that the other coven is going to be here in a few weeks. Plus, a boy from Slytherin was about to find about our secret class room." I told them, whispering while stuttering in some places.
"When did the boy find about the room?" Edward asked me. "Whatever night it's supposed to be raining." I told him. He nodded and told me to go back to sleep, saying he would tell the others in the morning.
The next morning, Bella, Edward and Nessie disappeared, trying to find the others. They avoided crowds, since what happened yesterday. Ron, Hermione and I went to eat breakfast, then they went to their classes. The day passed on sluggishly and boring, with the students still avoiding the Cullens.
Before I realized it, we were in the last class of the day, with Jake.
Jake walked in and began talking, saying that we would be studying about vampires again, since we needed to learn how to fight if the Volturi was coming.
During the lesson, we heard a small and squeaky, "Umm, can I have some help?" we all looked up at the ceiling and saw Des hanging from the ceiling fan that Jake used whenever he was warm. She was lying on her stomach, her legs and arms hanging off of it.
Some of the Slytherins snickered and sneered, while the Cullens shook their heads. Seth looked at her, longer than usual. Weird…
Bella volunteered to get her. She jumped on the wall and ran up it, towards the ceiling fan. She helped Des on her back and then Bella jumped down, landing on the ground in a muted thud. She let Des slide down to the ground and Des slipped out of the room, with Seth following her with his eyes. Edward shook his head at him and we continued with the lesson.
After the last class, we went to the R.O.R, as we called it now, with Jake and Seth following.
Once in the safety of the room, we took off our robes and waited for the others to come. They all came in a large group, and we gathered them. "Now, we need to teach some of you how to fight a newborn if you're going to fight with us. I know how loyal Aro can be, so if he is really working with Voldemort, then he wouldn't abandon him in a battle." Edward told them. We agreed we needed teaching in that.
Before we began, something came out of nowhere. It was a wolf with red eyes. Since Bella was the closest, the wolf picked her to battle with. The rest of us backed off, with her family worrying. The wolf was pure black, murky like a shadow.
Bella snarled and yelled, "Avada Kadavra!" at it. The green light shot out of her wand and zapped the wolf, sending it backwards. It twitched once, before becoming instantly still. Edward and Bella approached it cautiously, but the beast evaporated, causing all of us to jump.
"Well, that was weird…" Seth muttered, causing the werewolves to laugh and snicker. We sighed and began with our lessons.
We practiced the exploding spell next. Ginny was able to do it perfectly, causing her brothers to shrink in embarrassment. The Cullens were able to do it, though Emmett's explosion was very big, causing the test object we were using to explode in his face. His siblings laughed, while Rosalie used the cleaning spell to get rid of it. Nessie got it to work even, but it was immensely bigger, exploding on all of us instead. She giggled, and used the same cleaning spell as well. All of us were able to do the spell, except it backfired on some of us, like what happened to Nessie and Emmett.
Jake tried doing spells, causing his friends to howl with laughter. Jake occasionally almost went into wolf mode on them, thanks to the laughter and causing anger to build up. But, Nessie was able to calm him down before he was about to kill them.
During all of this, George and Fred constantly kept flirting with Des, which made Seth glare at them and begin to shake. The pack was able to calm him down and Des was able to defend herself- by using the knockout spell on both George and Fred. Everyone laughed at them, but they got up and glared at their siblings.
Nessie and Neville seemed to be getting more used to the disarming spell. They were pretty close to actually mastering it, but they still had some difficulties.
Once everyone was done, we all headed out the other way instead of the one in the front. We began making our ways back to our chambers, but, Professor Dumbledore came onto speaker.
"Attention students, please file in at the Great Hall. We have some new news that has come to Hogwarts." I looked at the Cullens, but they all shrugged. Our group walked to the Great Hall, then we went to our tables and sat down. The wolves stood off to the side and watched as more students filed in the room. Dumbledore was in front of the Hall, and as soon as everyone went quiet, he began speaking.
"Good afternoon, students. You're probably wondering why I brought all of you here at the end of classes. Well, I have a good reason for all of this.
"In a few days time or so, the Triwizard Tournament will begin again, here at Hogwarts." Professor Dumbledore paused as students broke into whispers and murmurs of excitement.
"What's a Triwizard Tournament?" Bella asked me from across the table. "It's where wizards from this school and few other schools compete to see which one of us is the most skilled." I answered. "Now, since we don't have a mishap like last year, I have extended the number of wizards that can participate to six. You must be at the age of seventeen or higher to enter. Anyone younger will have consequences when they try to enter in the Tournament. You will put your name on a piece of parchment and throw it into the Goblet of Fire, and then once I say entries must be done, we will all file in the room where it will be. Now, let's welcome the two schools that are participating in the Tournament back to Hogwarts. Please, welcome the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons Academy." Dumbledore gestured to the doors and they opened. Ladies in blue dresses and hats filed in, strutting.
Many of the ladies found the Cullens and many of them admired Edward, while Bella growled quietly at them. Edward stroked her back and kissed her forehead. The headmistress came in, still tall as ever. Once the ladies were up in the front, Dumbledore announced the second school. "And, please welcome back the Durmstrang Institute." After that introduction, strong looking men filed in, some of them carrying sticks. The men also found the Cullen women and began smirking. Edward growled and Bella kissed his head, running her fingers through his hair.
"And, now that all of the schools are here, we may begin the entry trial." Dumbledore dismissed us and we walked to the room where the Goblet would be held, after he told us.
A ring of magic was already placed around the Goblet, and the blue flames were bright and flicking around. "Man, he could have told us that there was fire involved." Emmett complained.
"Why?" Luna asked, probably forgetting about their problems with fire. "Well, fire and us don't mix, lets leave it at that." Bella told her, panicking already. "But, this fire won't burn you, so there's no problem." Hermione reassured them. They took her word for it.
"Well, I'm going to sign up for it." Edward said and wrote his name on a parchment and stuck in the fire, without it harming him. More people came in and some put their names in there. I, even, stuck my name in there, since I was of the age now.
The doors slammed opened and everyone turned to look. A boy with broad shoulders and a hard face stalked inside the room. He had black hair- short- and was wearing his school's uniform. His headmaster followed him inside as well. He took out a parchment and threw his name in there. They left the room. "Well, that was intense." Ron muttered, making us all laugh.
More and more students put their names in the Goblet. A girl with bright orange hair from the all-girls academy came in and put her name in it as well.
Days passed and soon, it was time for the people to be called. Everyone filed in the room of the Goblet, along with the Headmasters and teachers. Dumbledore stood by the Goblet and waited for everyone to be quiet.
"Now, it's time for the champions to be drawn." As he said this, the covers were placed over the windows that were near the ceiling and the room was dark, except the now red flames of the Goblet. "The first champion is…" he waited for a parchment to be pop out of the Goblet. The parchment floated down to his hand and he opened it.
"Diane Malgrey!" Dumbledore shouted. (Random Slytherin). The people from Slytherin cheered for her as a girl that was tall and skinny stood up. She had long black hair with red streaks in it, and her face was smug, her green eyes shining with victory. She walked out of the other exit of the room and Dumbledore got the next one.
"Oliver Masstidoff!" (The boy from the Durmstrang Institute who put his name in there) boys from the Durmstrand Institute yelled and cheered for their friend. He exited.
"Marie Deufloura!" (The girl from the Beauxbatons Academy, with bright orange hair) girls cheered for her from their school table and she exited.
"Edward Cullen!" everyone in the room cheered for him as he stood up. Bella pulled him back down quickly and gave him a quick but passionate kiss on the mouth. She pulled away and giggled and Edward laughed. Edward stood up again and left the room, still smiling.
"Lily Moonpetal!" Again, everyone cheered for her. "You put your name in there?" Bella asked her over the cheering. "Yeah, so you don't have to worry about those two other girls stealing your husband." Lily winked at her and followed after Edward. Bella shouted a thank you to her before she left the room. "And now, for the final boy…" Dumbledore waited for the last parchment.
"Harry Potter!" the cheers were even louder as I stood up. I smiled at my friends as I walked by and exited the room. Once outside, I saw a fight was going on.
"Stay away from Edward, if know what's good for you!" Lily shouted at the two girls, while the guys stood off to the side. Edward was pinching the bridge of his nose, shaking his head, while Oliver stared at the girls.
"And why should we?" Diane growled back. Well, this is one Slytherin that doesn't listen to her house's rules- and she probably wasn't there for the assembly of the Cullens. "Because, he's married and he has a daughter!" Lily shrieked back. Marie nodded and back off, while Diane stood her ground. "Prove it." she growled out again. As if on cue, Bella came strutting through the doors, carrying Nessie on her hip. She walked over to Edward and he wrapped his arm around her waist. He kissed her full on the mouth and then pulled away, smiling.
"Hey, hon. Do you want to go spend some quality time later?" Lily and I shuddered at the double meaning of her wrods. "Sure, as long as Jake's up to babysitting Nessie." Edward answered her, kissing her neck. Bella giggled and she walked off, glaring at Diane. "Now, you'll learn to back off." Lily stated smugly. We dispersed and went to find the others. Edward wrapped his arm around Bella again, once we found his family.
"Well, looks like you're back in this thing again, Harry." Ron stated, patting Harry's back and smiled. "You're not mad like last time?" I asked him. Ron shook his head and we laughed.
We were walking back to the Gryffindor chambers, when Edward and Bella pulled away from the group. Edward mentioned a few days earlier that he wanted to find a piano and Bella agreed with him. They were probably off to find one, wanting some alone time with each other. We let them go off.
Edward's POV
"Edward, do you know where we're going?" Bella asked me as we turned down another corridor. "Of course love, but it's a surprise." I turned around to answer her question and gave her a wink. Bella groaned, still not liking to receive surprises. But, she accepted them at least.
We turned one last corner and there was the door to the music room. I dragged Bella into the room with me and I closed the door behind us. I looked around and there in the corner where two large windows met each other, was the grand piano. We walked over to it, taking off our robes and setting them off to the side, and we sat down on the long leather bench.
"You found a piano without me?" Bella pouted and I laughed, kissing away the pout. She giggled and rested her head on my shoulder. "Well, I guess I did love. But, I wanted to keep it a surprise from you." I answered her, resting my fingers on the keys lightly. Soon, I was playing.
Bella smiled as I began playing her lullaby. I smiled too and let my fingers flow over the keys, playing the song by heart- or memory I should say. I remember from all of the times we spent together, from the ones we were apart. Bella wrapped her arms around my waist and smiled dreamily.
I was glad that we actually came here, practicing on how to be a wizard or a witch in the ladies' case, making new friends, helping them in this war with Voldemort, and that we don't have to hide what we are from anyone. And now, I'm in the Triwizard Tournament with Harry!
To me, things couldn't get any better, except if the Volturi were to disappear, along with Voldemort, and that if Professor Umbridge were to get kicked out of the school. Now, that would make my heaven with my family, my love and my daughter even more perfect.
As the song was drawing to an end, I looked down at my angel, and saw she was swaying to her lullaby, humming and smiling. I was glad she took me for who I was when she was a human. I drank blood, nearly crushed everything with the flexing of my muscles, and could easily kill her, and yet, she still loved me. Just thinking about that all over again, made me want to do anything- like now- for her, just to make her happy.
The last note ended and I dropped my hands. Bella looked like she wanted to cry- if it were possible for her anymore. "Thank you, Edward. For everything that has happened to me, it wouldn't be what it is now without you." Bella smiled at me. I laughed and kissed her.
The door opened, making us pull apart and there stood all of our friends.
"Was that you playing Edward?" Ginny asked. "Uh, yes, that was me." I said, embarrassed. Bella giggled and then she kissed my cheek, making me smile again. "What song were you playing?" Luna asked as they walked into the room. "Uh… Bella's lullaby." I muttered, burying my face in Bella's hair.
"Really?" Hermione asked me, shocked. "Yes, he composed a song for me when I was human." Bella answered for me. The girls awed at us, while the guys smiled.
After that, we left the room and headed back to Gryffindor chambers.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************
The camera flashed in front of us, while the humans blinked. The newspaper reporter lady- young and plump, with bright blonde hair up in curls, and round small glasses, wearing a green dress tied with a black belt around her waist- smiled at us. Her quill that was floating in the air, began writing as she spoke.
"Ah, another year for the Triwizard Tournament. Except with six wizards instead of four like last year. Pfft, now with six, there can be more excitement to it!" Apparently, this woman had too much sugar or caffeine in her drink. "And, I see a familiar face to it. Harry Potter! Not much of a surprise you're back, though." Harry looked down from his seat. The woman looked at all of us, then at me. Ah, great.
"Oh my goodness! A Cedric look-alike! Oh, the readers will be very excited to…" The woman rambled on and on about something with the Wizard newspaper. I just tuned her out and thought about my normal worries- Bella and Nessie.
The reporter pulled us out one by one, interviewing us. I tried to answer the questions as well as I could, but the lady kept throwing questions at me, blacking me from her mind. Once we were done with the interviews, we were able to go back to Hogwarts.
Bella was waiting for me once we were by the main entrance. She ran into my arms when she spotted us and I spread them apart for her. "So, how was the interview?" Bella asked me and Harry. I groaned along with Harry and we explained what happened to her, while she laughed the whole time.
Ron and Hermione met us as well when we stepped inside the school, and they were out of breath at that. "What's happening, Hermione?" Bella asked her. "Something is happening in the main courtyard. Follow us." Hermione and Ron took off in the direction they came from, with Harry, Bella and I following them.
In one of the main courtyards, students were blocking off most of the archways towards the center, where Professor Umbridge and Professor Loona (Random teacher) was sobbing, standing by her bags. Professor McGonagall came out and comforted her, when Dumbledore came out as well. He said to Umbridge she couldn't send his teachers home. There, Professor Loona was escorted back inside the school, and we were dismissed.
We all met up back in the secret class room with everyone.
"We need to practice even harder, Harry. Professor Umbridge is getting way out of control. We need to do something." Hermione said.
"I know Hermione, but it needs to be put off for now, because Edward and I need to finish this Tournament before we do anymore practicing." Harry told her. "He has a point, Hermione. The Tournament is what me and Harry need to focus on for now. But, as soon as this is all over, we'll get back to work." I added.
"Alright." She gave up and we waited for the first day of the first task of the Tournament.
Okay, there's the chapter, with the tournament in there.
Please review and wait for the next chapter!
Until then,
