Madam Pomfrey had finally let me go. I walked to the Gryffindor common room, and into my dorm, to change clothes and take a shower since I've been blacked out for two weeks. When I entered the shower, I felt a burning feeling in my underarm, I can't describe how much it hurt. I tried to ignore the pain, and showered as quickly as I could. When I was done I wrapped a towel around me and looked at my arm, trying to figure out why it still hurts after more than two weeks. I put this on: .com/great_hall/set?id=39277382 .
As I walked into the great hall I walked to the Gryffindor table. As I got closer I saw that Hermione noticed me, so I put my finger up to my lips, and signaled to her to be quiet. She smiled as I walked up to Fred and stood behind him, without him noticing me.
- BOO! I screamed in his ear.
- AAH! He screamed as he jumped up from his seat. Then he turned around, and stared at me. I giggled a little.
- Finally Pomfrey decided to let you out! He said as he hugged me, completely forgetting that I screamed in his ear. Oh, well. I don't mind.
His hands slid down my arms as we broke the hug, and I flinched when he touched my left underarm. He looked at me weirdly, and then looked at my arm. His eyes widened as he looked up at me again.
- Lex? What happened to your arm? He said, looking me directly in the eyes. What was I gonna tell him? That I got it from a dream? No. His gonna think I'm crazy.
- I.. I.. I don't know.. I stuttered. I obviously didn't convince him, because he started dragging me out of the great hall. When we were in the corridor he let go of my arm.
- Tell me. Tell me how you got it. He said, like if he wasn't gonna give up until I told him. But.. If I tell him about the dream, and that that's the reason for my red arm, he will just think the same thing as Harry thought about me. But I guess I'd have to tell him sooner or later.
- Uh.. You remember that dream I had two weeks ago? He nodded.
- Well, I was in a old house, I walked up the stairs, and stood outside a room full with people. Death eaters. One of them came and pushed me into the room, and there I saw Voldemort. And my mom. My mom, Fred. She told me that she escaped and that Voldemort wanted to tell me something. He walked over to me, and made me to a death eater. That's when I woke up, and since then my arm has been red, and it hurts too.
- But... It's just a dream right? He said, and sounded kind of worried.
- Fred.. I wish I could say that it was, but.. I've known my entire life that I'd become a death eater when I turn sixteen. I think this was some sort of sign, that they'll turn me into one of them even sooner. I said, prepared on that he'll hate me now. But instead he hugged me. Hugged me. What's wrong with him? I just told him that I'll be a death eater and he huggs me?
- I think what you say may be right, that it was a sort of sign. Even though I don't want it to be. But why are your arm still red? He whispered in my ear when he hugged me. I shrugged.
- Uh.. Malfoy told me something back in the hospital wing, when you were blacked out.. He sounded a bit nervous.
- What did he say?
- That he's your cousin. Is that true Lex? I took a deep breath before I answered.
- Yeah.. Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I thought you'd hate me.
- I could never hate you Lex! He said, and I smiled. I knew I could trust him.
- Let's get back to the great hall. I said as I grabbed his hand and walked back to the Gryffindor table.
Once we had sat down, Dumbledore began his speech.
- Silence, please! Now is the moment you all have been waiting for. The champion selection. He said and walked over to the goblet of fire. He waited a little, before a piece of parchment came out of the flames. He grabbed it.
- The Durmstrang champion is Viktor Krum! He said as everyone started clapping their hands. Viktor walked to Dumbledore and shook his hand. A new piece of parchment came out of the flames now.
- The champion from Beauxbatons, is Fleur Delacour. Everyone clapped their hands again, as she walked up to Dumbledore and shook his hand too. The third, and last piece of parchment, flew out of the goblet.
- The hogwarts champion is Cedric Diggory! Once again the room got erupted with applause.
- Excellent! We now have our three champions! But in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will win, the triwizard cup! He said and pointed at the cup. I saw Snape walking forward a little, looking at the goblet. Dumbledore walked towards it, as a fourth piece of parchment flew out of the goblet. He grabbed it, read it, and mumbled something. He looked around the room for a person.
- Harry Potter. He said and I looked at Harry. He looked shocked, and a bit afraid. Wait, he's not seventeen, he can't be chosen as a champion! Ugh, he probably just want all the glory.
- HARRY POTTER! Dumbledore shouted. Hermione pushed him a little(yes, she's still friends with him, even after what he did to me). He stood up and slowly walked up to Dumbledore, still looking a bit shocked.
- He's a cheat! He's not even seventeen yet! Some students shouted as he walked pass them.
When all the champions had left the room, Dumbledore told us to go back to our common rooms, before he and the other teachers started arguing about Harry. We all stood up and I walked between Fred and George. When we were about to exit the room, we heard some gasps, which made us turn around. The fire in the goblet had became really big, and it turned into many different colors, before a piece of parchment flew out of the flames. What was going on? All the students had came back to the great hall, and we all looked curiously looked at Dumbledore, who was holding the parchment. Once again, he mumbled something, and I could see that he was getting frustrated.
- LEXI LESTRANGE! He shouted, before he started walking towards me. Wait, what? I looked up at Fred, and noticed that his mouth was wide open.
- Lexi, did you put your name in the goblet? Dumbledore almost screamed as he put his hands on my shoulders.
- What? No! No, I didn't!
- Did you ask a older student to put your name in it? He continued.
- No, of course not! I don't even want to be in the tournament! He seemed to calm down a little bit, and he let go of my shoulders.
- Miss Lestrange, please come with me. He said and started walking to the room where the champions were, and I followed him.
