The day for the first challenge was coming. Hagrid had me secretly helping with the dragons. I kept what the challenge was to myself. I didn't see any of my friends except at meals.

The day finally arrived. I went into the tent where the champions were waiting. Dumbledore explained the challenge to them. I held out the bag for each of the champions.

My eyes widened as Harry was given the Hungarian Horntail.

"Be careful." I murmured to him as I walked out. I went out to watch the event. My old friends from Beauxbatons waved me over.

"This is going to be insane." Malakai said his eyes wide.

"Yeah." was all I could say.

I watched each of the Champions go and retrieve their egg. I sighed with relief as Harry got out semi-unscathed.

I went into the bathroom to visit Myrtle.

"Hello Sammay. It has been a long time since you visited me."

"Sorry, I don't see anyone much anymore. This tournament has me busy. I was wondering if you would do me a favor."

"Of course."

"Cedric told Harry a clue about the tournament after Harry told him what the challenge was last time. Harry is supposed to go to the same bath that Cedric did. I'm sorry, but Harry can be a little bit slow sometimes. Can you help him at least figure part of it out."

"One peeping tom in the bathroom coming up." she giggled.

The castle started to be covered in Christmas colors. My nightmares started to get worse. Buzz about the yuletide ball spread everywhere.

I was walking outside with Fred after lunch one day.

"Hey Sammay?" He said grinning "Hows about you go to the dance with me?"

I blushed. "I'm sorry Fred," we were nearing Hagrid's hut, where my next class was. "I already have a date."

On Christmas I participated in the gigantic snowball fight, but left early with Hermione to get ready. I did her hair, taking extra time to get the frizzy ness to go away. I did it up in an intricate fashion before setting to work on my own while she changed. I made mine completely straight before putting it up in a high ponytail with little tiny braids going into it and flowing through it.

Hermione darted out of the room to go meet her date. She looked gorgeous.

Once she was gone I slipped on my dress, It flowed down to my ankles. It was a deep purple color that shimmered. It was made of the most beautiful silk. It had a cinched top. Two ribbons came from the top to tie around me neck to keep it up. I coupled it with a pair of high-heeled sandals that were held on by ribbons that criss-crossed their way over my feet and up my legs.

After a final look in the mirror I darted out of the room. I didn't slow down until I neared the great hall.

I spotted my date easily.

"Wow, Sammay... You...You...You look..." He looked me straight in the eyes, "you look beautiful" he finally finished. I smiled and blushed. He offered me his arm and we walked together into the great hall.

The first dance was reserved for the Champions, before a band took over. The night seemed to pass like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was the nagging feeling that someone was watching me...or maybe glaring at me, but every time I turned around, no one was there.
