Hi everyone…Yes I know, I haven't updated in FOREVER! Please don't hate me! I had exams and assignments and all the rest of it. Anyway here is the next chapter, please review, tell me why you like it or why you don't

J K Rowling owns Harry Potter, i don't. I only own this idea and Taylor herself. ENJOY

When Taylor reached the Gryffindor common room it was completely full and in party mode. The news that a Gryffindor had got in was very excitable…for some people. Ron was sulking in a chair. Hermione looked nervous and confused. Taylor wasn't surprised. Fred and George found a radio and turned it on to a muggle station to which many new songs to the wizards and witches came on. Some of the muggle-born's started to sing along with the songs or even dance, which the pure bloods thought was very interesting, the music that is.

They all seemed to be waiting for Harry to come back. The famous Harry Potter, who to some, always seemed to get into everything. Taylor felt truly sorry for him, not just because of his past but what he was about to get into. So she sat next to Hermione in silence, waiting for something interesting to happen, something she didn't already know about. Besides people dancing around there was no real impact that was different. Until they heard Harry come into the common room. You didn't even have to look up and see him to know he was there, you just had to listen to the applauding and whistling and shouting, it was very intimidating. Immediately Fred and George ran over to Harry to probably ask him how he got in and everything. Taylor remained seated. She didn't want to bother them. She could hear Harry continuously saying that he didn't put his name in the goblet. Taylor sighed and got up before walking up to the girls dormitory, sending an apologetic glance in Harry's direction. He looked at her with a sad, confused and questioning eye before been pulled back into the crowd of Gryffindor's.

Once she had got comfortable on her bed she took out her homework, some ink and a quill. But before she could start she heard an owl at her window. She sighed as she got up and saw an Eagle Owl sitting on the ledge. Taylor couldn't remember anyone with such a magnificent creature, but when she took the note off of its foot she immediately felt foolish for asking that question.

Mundus,

Why is stupid Potter in the tournament?

Malfoy

She got a piece of parchment and wrote:

I don't know, haven't had a chance to ask yet.

Mundus

She tied it to the leg of the Eagle as it swooped off into the night. Stupid Malfoy, she thought as she went and sat back on her bed. She put her quill to the parchment just as someone opened the door. She couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed and didn't look up to see who it was. Whoever it was sat down on the bed next to hers and gave a big sigh. Taylor realised that it was Hermione.

"What's up?" She asked not looking up from her homework.

"What do you think?" Hermione asked sarcastically. Taylor smiled, "It's just that, how did Harry possibly get into the tournament. I mean, he couldn't have possibly put his name in, Fred and George tried and they failed. It must have been someone else…" Taylor looked up.

"Like who? It couldn't have been a teacher, could it?" She asked sneakily.

"Well…" But Hermione was interrupted by a tapping at the window. "Isn't that?"

"Draco's owl thing, yes it is." Taylor finished while skipping over to the window and flinging it open.

"What does he want?" Hermione spat.

"To probably know what's going on."

"Couldn't you just tell him to go away? I mean it's not like your friends or anything." Taylor froze; she forgot that she hadn't told anyone yet.

"Well actually…"

"What?" Hermione's eyes were bulging out of her head.

"We are kind of friends…"

"Since when? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot, I thought I did."

"Well what did he say?" Taylor shooed away the owl before opening the letter.

Taylor,

I really want to know so tell me soon.

Malfoy

"First name basis, eh?" Hermione asked, Taylor hit her with a pillow.

"I brought the book down and put it on my desk in my study room." Taylor informed Hermione who looked confused, "The Harry Potter one? That I accidently brought with me." Hermione nodded

"Well hopefully it's safer there then in here." Taylor hoped so too. She and Hermione had decided that it would be safer for the book to be kept in Taylor's study, away from any curious teenagers that may 'accidently' look in her bag once in a while.

Of course that wouldn't keep it completely safe…

"Is Ron still angry at Harry?" Taylor asked Hermione.

"Yes, they are being so immature. I mean Ron should know that Harry didn't put his name in the cup but he still goes on about it."

"Do you believe that he did?"

"I'm not sure. I don't believe he did, there is something weird going on and I know it." Hermione stated as they walked to the library. "But Ron is acting so rudely towards Harry, his best friend, and then there's us, who are stuck in the middle of it all."

"It's ridiculous." Taylor agreed.

"So, are you doing anything with ferret tonight?" Taylor had forgotten that it was Friday afternoon and it clicked that she had a 'date'…well more of a 'friendship get together' with Malfoy. She nodded at Hermione.

"Thanks for reminding me, I forgot its Friday. It's getting so close to the first tournament task, and Harry seems to be getting more and more anxious so I guess I have been thinking about that more than the days themselves."

"Harry needs to somehow figure out what the task is so that he can prepare himself, this can be very dangerous, I read all about it." Hermione said proudly with a tint of fear.

"I figured." Taylor joked. Hermione raised her eyebrows at her as they took a seat in the library at a table. "But are they supposed to know before the task?"

"Apparently not, but I think that is really silly, and knowing Harry he will probably find out anyway."

"That is too true." Taylor laughed. But they got hushed by the librarian.

"Man," Taylor started quietly, leaning towards Hermione, "She should keep her pants on, it was just laughing."

"Yes, but I would rather not be kicked out of the library, thank you very much." Hermione stated as she pulled out a book on the Triwizard Tournament.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to see what all of the other first tasks were to see if there is a similarity between them all."

"This is why you're the smart one." Taylor pointed out.

"So, I hear that Potter is in the tournament…How'd he do it? Aging potion?"

"Malfoy, seriously? Fred and George already attempted that and it failed."

"So did the ever so famous boy get an older student to do his dirty work? Such a Gryffindor thing to do…" Taylor slapped him hard in the face.

"Hey, Malfoy, keep to your own business, and for your information, Gryffindor's qualities actually include bravery, not coward-ness like Slytherin." He glared at her.

"I'm sorry, Mun- Taylor, it's just even though we may be friends, I'll never be friends," He shivered, "with Potter or Granger or the Weasley."

"I understand, and it would be completely against nature if you were."

"Thanks for understanding." They sat on a hard stone seat.

"So what's been going on in your 'Slytherin' world?"

"Not a lot, Pansy is all over me as always."

"She likes you a lot, doesn't she?"

"Yup, but it's probably because our families are really close and we have known each other for years."

"But that doesn't change that she has a massive crush on you."

"Shut up…"

"Are you going to go kiss her?" She asked in an annoying voice, "Going to get married? Draco and Pansy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

"NO! Oh god please stop." Draco begged, hunching over and covering his ears. Taylor just laughed and sat him back up. "And besides, I wouldn't kiss her."

"Really? That's news to me."

"Why?" He looked at her dead in the eyes, as though he were searching for something.

"Because I just always thought that you two were together." She tried not to accidently let out her secret. He started to lean in and she started to freak out. What was she going to do if he kissed her? As he was just about to be less than 20 cm away there was a band down the hall which made them both jump. Draco just stood up, smiled at Taylor and walked away. Taylor sat there, not being able to move, confused with what had just happened.

You don't know how relieved I am that I finished this chapter, it has been annoying me forever. Anyway hopefully I will get time now to write more cause exams are over! Anyway again R&R
