so you know the drill. i dont own anything. this chapter isn't the greatest but it is needed to show the self control allie has to have to be around harry. thanks for reading!

Harry did a fantastic job with his challenge. Allie was nervous for him and almost had a heart attack when he first came out and started to battle the dragon because, being Harry, he completely forgot to use his wand, Hermione had to yell at him to use it. He Accio'ed his broom which helped his performance tremendously. Once on his broom he led the dragon away from the field and ten minutes later came back, with no dragon following him. Harry grabbed his golden egg and the Gryffindors went ballistic.

Hermione and Allie waited for him outside the champions tent after Viktor Krum had successfully retrieved his egg. Harry emerged from the tent to be tackled by the two girls. He fell to the ground with a thud! . "Ow, guys!" He laughed.

They got off of him and sat in the grass. All of them talking at once.

"Harry why didn't you use your wand!?"

"You could have gotten yourself killed!"

"You did excellent with the Accio spell though."

"That dragon was bloody psycho!"

The talking stopped after Allie and Hermione scolded him once more for forgetting to use his wand in a magic based tournament. They stood up and each girl took one of Harry's arms. "Come on, we are going to be late." Hermione informed them after she checked her wrist watch.

Allie smacked herself in the forehead and begin to power walk toward the school, dragging Harry behind her. "Harry, hurry up! You can't be late for your own party!"

Harry was confused. They were throwing a party for him? Half the school thought he was a cheat. The only people he thought he would get any sort of congratulations from was Allie, Hermione, and probably Hagrid. "What's the party for?" He stupidly asked.

"For you, Harry! You just finished the first task in the Triwizard Tournament!" Hermione told him. "What else would it be for?"

"Well I thought I was a cheat and no one wanted me to win." He thought he sounded like a pouting child but it was the truth. He had gotten a lot of crap from people since he was declared the second Hogwarts champion. I got a lot of crap from people. I am starting to sound like Allie.

"That was before you did so well Harry. All of Gryffindor is routing for you!" Allie said, still pulling him along corridors. He was pleased to hear that his house was on his side now. Your supposed to take care of your own, that's the Gryffindor way.

They reached the Common Room and saw that it was more packed than it had ever been before. Their was a banner that read 'Congratulations Harry!", gold and red balloons were everywhere and a table was set up with all kinds of sweets. Harry wondered how they smuggled all the stuff into the school. He spotted Fred and George in a corner tying up the last of the balloons and arguing over who's were better looking. The Weasley twins were his party coordinators, he would have to thank them later.

"Harry!" Neville cried from across the room "Brilliant job, mate. I mean it, excellent!" A load of other students came over to give him encouragements and other congratulatory comments. "Harry, well done!" George came over carrying two butterbeers. The twin pushed his way through the crowd and up to the trio. He gave one of the drinks to Harry and one to Hermione.

"Thanks to you I am 5 galleons richer!" Fred said. He carried a water and gave it to Allie. She wondered how he knew that she didn't drink butterbeer, the twins didn't seem like the most observant people she had ever met.

Harry still held his golden egg in his hands. "Hey, Gryffindors!" Fred and George yelled in unison. "How about a round of applause for our champion!" Everyone started to cheer. The twins lifted Harry up so that he sat on their shoulders. Harry smiled and enjoyed the attention. It was the first time he felt truly accepted by his house mates all year. "Open it Harry!" One of the 5th years exclaimed. Other students clapped in approval of the proposal.

"Yeah, open it!" yelled another. Harry grinned wickedly at the pack of students.

"Who wants me to open it?" He said loudly. Voices started to over lap. Clearly they all wanted to know what was in the egg. "Do you want me to open it?" The voices grew louder.

Harry lifted the egg so everyone could see it and he turned the little golden clasp that held the egg closed. An ear splitting screech emerged from the egg, Fred and George dropped Harry in an attempt to cover their ears along with everyone else in the room. Harry regained his balance and scurried over to close the egg.

The sound stopped and everyone regained their composure. "What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked from the doorway. He had just came into the common room and no one noticed that he was there in all of the commotion. Harry got up and looked at his red headed roommate. The room went quiet, everyone knew that the two had been walking on egg shells (no pun intended) lately.

"Alright everyone." Allie said through the silence, he voice was larger than her. "There's nothing to see here. Things are going to be weird enough without you guys gawking at them." She gave Harry's hand a reassuring squeeze and winked up at him before helping Hermione push the twins away from the two 4th year boys. The two boys did not speak for a while.

Ron turned out be the braver of the two and was the first to say something. "So I realized that you would have to be completely mental to put your own name into the Goblet." His voice was filled with shame.

"Ya think?" Harry was angry. Ron would have realized that a lot sooner if he was really his best friend. Ron had been a total git for the last month.

"Harry James Potter!" Allie yelled from the other side of the room. She narrowed her blue eyes at him and shook her head at him. He knew she wanted the boys' feud to stop, and his attitude wasn't helping. Bloody hell with her hearing and mind reading abilities, I can't win. He sighed. Ron was looking at Allie with wondrous eyes.

"How did she know that....?"

"She has really good hearing." Harry said quickly.

Ron was astonished with the little Gryffindor. "Well, I wanted to just say that... I'm sorry. I was being a total arse." His ears were beat red, the Weasley family trademark.

"It's alright, mate." Harry told him. He went over to lay a friendly hand on the red head's shoulder. "I probably would have reacted the same way, to be honest." Ron gave Harry a closed mouth smile.

With those words, the boys went back to being best friends, no more questions asked. They immediately started a game of Wizard's Chess and talked about Qudditch. Allie smirked at their ability to forgive and forget. She wished everything were that easy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Allie you have to tell him!" Hermione said while brushing her teeth. It was the Monday after the first task and they had celebrated late into the night, all the Gryffindor's were exhausted and most had a sugar hangover. Allie was crabby and didn't want to deal with telling Harry about her and Cedric.

"No, Mione." She brushed her hair back into a low pony tail. "I can't do it." Hermione spit out her toothpaste and glared at the small girl.

"Your going to have to do it sometime." Allie exhaled deeply. She didn't have to, did she? She could keep her relationship with Cedric a secret, right? Who was she trying to kid, that would not work. The girls gathered their stuff and left the bathroom.

They were walking back to Gryffindor Tower slowly, they had a half hour until breakfast was served in the Great Hall so their was no rush.

"Hermione, I will tell him.... eventually. All I know is that when Harry finds out...." She stopped short when they rounded a corner and was confronted by the boy who lived. He looked at the pair curiously.

"When Harry finds out what, girls?" He narrowed his gaze hoping to intimidate the information out of them. Hermione bent her head down and picked at a lose thread on her robes.

"Wow look at the time. I have to go find Ron." She started to walk away but Allie grabbed her sleeve.

"Why do you have to find Ron, Hermione?" She snarled. Hermione looked over her shoulder at Allie.

"Oh, you know that thing we have to do for Runes." She thought of the answer quickly, and didn't really think it over that well.

"Ron isn't in Runes, Hermione." Allie gave the bushy haired girl a pleading look. Silently asking her to stay.

"Oh, well I need his help. And you two need to talk. So see you later." under her breathe Allie heard her add a 'hopefully'. Hermione all but ran out of the corridor to escape the coming storm.

Allie stood there feeling betrayed by her best friend. Harry had not said anything more since he entered the corridor. "Allie, when I find out what?" Allie had a feeling he already knew what she had to say. She plopped down onto the floor in the middle of the hall. Harry raised his eyebrows at her. She was being a child, again. It reminded him of when she jumped on his bed.

He sat down facing her realizing that it was better to join her then try to carry on a conversation while she was closer to the ground than usual. "What do you have to tell me Allie? You can tell me anything, you know that." She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them. She shook her head at him, showing that she didn't want to discuss this at all.

He had no clue what would make Allie so uncomfortable that she wouldn't want to discuss it with him. He saw her bury her eyes into her knees. She discussed everything with him, even things he didn't want to hear (like 'that time of the month' things, gross) so how bad could whatever it is be.... He was an idiot. "You're going out with Cedric, aren't you?"

"Harry, just listen." she said quietly.

"No! Say it. I want to hear you say it." He scooted over to her and gripped her forearms. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. She hated that this hurt him, and her in a way. Gosh, why is everything so complicated when it comes to these two guys!

"Cedric asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes." At that moment Harry felt nothing. He didn't feel anger or hurt, he just felt numb. He was pretty sure this is what it felt like to have a broken heart. He couldn't meet her eyes and she couldn't meet his. They just sat there, Harry still held her arms. He was so close to her that she could smell his cologne. She mentally noted that it was so much better than Cedric's...... Oh no, not again. She couldn't restrain herself, she leaned closer to him, inhaling deeply. He smelt so good, what was that cologne? She realized that she had opened her mouth to take a taste of what she so desperately wanted. Her teeth made contact to Harry's neck, one little bite wouldn't hurt... She gasped as realization hit her, it was not his cologne at all. She backed away so fast Harry had no idea what happened, he felt her mouth on his neck and then... He looked to see her in a corner twenty feet away, curled up in a ball in a sitting position. Allie rocked back and forth, she was starting to sob heavily.

Harry inched his way over to her. "Allie...?" At his approach the sobs intensified and turned into hyperventilating.

"Harry, you need to go." She sat there, rocking back and forth. Fear was written all over her face, she was so terrified.

"Are you alright?" He was scared for her now. He had never seen her like this, in fact he didn't think it was possible for the hard headed girl to be this.... vulnerable and unsteady.

"Harry, go!" She yelled at him, she quieted a bit before asking "Remember our deal?" Her body was shaking with sobs. He understood what was going on. He got too close to her for too long and she started to... lust for his blood. Harry shivered slightly at the thought. Her mouth on his neck... it wasn't a kiss like he thought, it was something entirely different.

"Ok, I'll go." He backed away from her slowly. "I'll just go get someone to come get you..." Her eyes shot up in terror. Her beautiful blue eyes held a bright red glow that made Harry's stomach feel sick. She didn't look like sweet Allie right now.

"No! No! No one can see me like this, Harry please!" He put his hands up to calm her down, she once told him that if something like this were to happen the key was to keep her calm. He couldn't leave her in this condition, he wouldn't. He had to figure something out.

"Harry! Get away from her!" As if on cue Professor Lupin came around a near by corner. He was moving in slow motion like Harry was, trying not to make any sudden movements. Harry felt himself relax slightly, if anyone could help Allie it was Lupin.

Lupin moved until he was positioned between Harry and a still sobbing, shaky Allie. "Harry, I need you to leave." Lupin said calmly.

"But Allie, she-" Harry started to protest.

"She cannot get over this with you here, especially since yours is the blood she wants. Now go." Lupin didn't even wait for Harry's response, he slowly moved to where Allie sat. Her sobs were subsiding slightly as she attempted to gain her sanity back. Lupin knelt in front of her and got a firm hold on her shoulder, as if ready to restrain her if necessary. "Allie, focus." She looked up into the pale gray eyes of her former DADA professor. "You control your vampire side, it does not control you." Her eyes began to return to their normal shade.

Her sobs continued, but the longer she concentrated on Lupin the quieter they became until they finally stopped all together. She collapsed against older man. That "fit" (thats what Jake called it when she was little and wanted blood, not chocolate like a normal kid) took a lot out of her. She had never had one that bad before, it took every thing she had to resist the temptation. Allie was unbelievably tired, it had worn her out considerably.

"Well done." She heard Lupin tell her in a fatherly voice. She closed her eyes and leaned back against the wall. She felt her body leave the ground but didn't open her eyes, they were way to heavy.

"What are you doing?" She mumbled to Lupin.

"I am taking you back to Gryffindor Tower. You will not be attending classes today, not in your condition."

"No I'm fine." She protested. She was giving into her exhaustion and starting to fall asleep. "I have a... a" She yawned. "a history of magic test that I can't miss."

"I assume you will make the test up tomorrow and do better than you would have today while you were like this."

She didn't even bother to say anything else. He was right and she was too tired to care that a werewolf (besides Jake) was taking care of her after she had almost attacked Harry. She gave in and let sleep take over.
