Okay, so this kind of sucks, but I had fun writing it! That counts for something….right?

CHAP 5(I changed it around so that the first competition is the day after the champions are chose, and there is a ball again, but this time it's the Yule ball.)

That night I couldn't sleep. I mean, Viktor was going to be risking his life the next day. How can you sleep when your pretend boyfriend that you were actual in love with but couldn't be with because he was your older brothers best friend could die in just a few short hours by doing some mysterious task to win a wizard tournament and get eternal glory?

It was one of those rare nights where I actually slept in my bed in my dorm instead of the couch in the Slytherin common room. I stood silently, slipping past my two sleeping dorm mates that I barely knew and going down into the RavenClaw common room. I started the fire with a flick of my wand and sat on the couch, staring at the sparkling flames. I brushed down my purple tank top and grey sweat pants, wiping away the invisible dust that settled on them.

"I didn't expect to find anyone awake." A male voice made me turn around to face a tall guy wearing a pair of blue RavenClaw boxers and a plain black tee shirt. Roger Davies. I didn't really know him, although I did know that he was completely gorgeous and smart, which was enough to sent the female population of Hogwarts into a frenzy.

"I could say the same." I commented dryly. He chuckled, brushing strands of black hair off of his tan skin and away from his light blue eyes. He came to take the seat beside me, plopping himself down so he faced the fire like me. I pulled my knee's up to my chest and hugged them, holding them to me with my arms.

"I'm Roger Davies." He introduced himself, holding out his hand for me to shake. I took it and gently pumped my arm up and down before pulling it back.

"I'm Lyra." I said quietly, starring into the fire.

"I know. You're the girl dating Viktor Krum aren't you?" He asked, not in the gossipy girl tone I would have expected.

"No." I answered coldly. He just nodded understanding. It was true…sorta. I wasn't dating Viktor, not really anyway, I was just pretending to.

"Oh. So, are you nervous about this whole tournament thing?" Roger tried to strike conversation, I couldn't help but giggle.

"A little. It's pretty scary. Harry Potter must be freaking out. I know I would be." I confessed with a blush, this just caused Roger to laugh. The rest of the night went on like that, Roger and me talking about the tournament, and things that have happened in the past few years in RavenClaw. Like our victory against the HufflePuffs in quittich, and the time Luna Lovegood walked around for three weeks straight without shoes on. We laughed most of the time, and I was glad to have someone to talk to that couldn't judge me on the whole Viktor thing.

"We should really be going to bed." Roger said, noticing it was almost four in the morning. I nodded agreement, standing up and walking over to the stairs leading to the girls dorms.

"Hey Lyra?" Roger called, I turned around to see him standing near the stairs of the boys dorms. "I was just wondering. Well, you know there's a Hogsmead trip coming up…"He trailed off, looking at me expectantly.

"Oh. Yeah there is." I said dumbly, caught in his intense gaze.

"Well, do you want to maybe, you know, go with me?" He asked shyly, I smiled back at him sadly.

"I'm sorry but I can't." I replied shortly. He nodded as if understanding something.

"Okay. Well, tell me if your plans change Lyra. I had fun tonight." He said before charging up the stairs to his dom. I did the same, curling up in a tight circle on my bed and closing my eyes. His words echoed in my head. 'I had fun tonight.' What did that mean? Did he like me? I didn't like him, I liked Viktor, I would have to let him know that I only liked him as a friend.

I woke up the next morning, well, I woke up three hours later, feeling incredibly nervous. What was going to happen today? What was this crazy challenge that we all had to go watch? Was this supposed to be torture? Going to watch your loved ones risk their lives? It was crazy! "Does anyone know what the first challenge is?" I asked Theodor and Adon as we walked down the hall towards breakfast. Viktor left earlier so he could eat and leave to the challenge area to prepare, which I didn't have a problem with.

"Dragons." Harry said from behind me, I stopped and turned around to face him. "We have to battle dragons." Before I could think I threw my arms around him. In truth, I was more scared for Viktor, but I was scared for him too, but being scared in general is what made me hug him. He hugged my back briefly before I let go and wished him luck. He nodded in thanks and took off towards the champion area, not bothering to eat breakfast. I sighed, poor kid was probably having a panic attack.

"He'll be okay." Theo whispered in my ear, wiping away a tear I didn't realize I had shed.

"He's just so young." I whispered to him, turning around to face him. Theo just laughed and shook his head.

"I meant Viktor. I know that's all you're really worried about anyway." He said smugly, he knew me so well. I sighed, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the breakfast feast. He followed willingly.

We sat in the stands, my heart stopping every few moments.

"I can't do this." I said standing as the first dragon was about to be released.

"What do you mean?" Adon said appalled that I even considered leaving.

"I mean I'm about to have a panic attack!" I said angrily as I moved past the crowd.

"You can't leave he's your boyfriend!" Adon tried to guilt me into staying, but honestly I felt like I might just throw up.

"No he's not." I whisper shouted at him as I left. I couldn't do this. I couldn't stay there and watch him put his life on the line.

"To much for you?" I asked Roger Davies who was sitting on the RavenClaw common rooms couch with his head in his hands.

"I don't know how they can stand down there and watch that!" Roger fumed sadly, looking up at me. "I-I think I'm in love with Fluer." He admitted with a small smile. I smiled back and hugged him. That was so adorable! "Did you know that I asked her out? She said yes. I'm going out with Fluer." He said quietly, as if trying to tell himself he wasn't dreaming.

"That's wonderful!" I told him excitedly. We talked about him and Fluer for a while, we could hear the cheers of the students which only calmed our nerves. After a while the conversation about Fluer grew to an end and I thought of a new topic.

"I think I'm in love with Viktor." I said decided I might as well tell him. I mean, he told me about Fluer.

"Well aren't you too going out? I know last night you told me you weren't, but I heard some girls talking about you two today." He asked seemingly curious.

"Well, you see we are going out, but it's a fake relationship. Not at all real. Although, I kind of wish it was." I admitted, which made him smile broadly.

"I have a feeling we're going to be beautiful friends Lyra." Roger said, throwing his arms over my shoulder and leaning back on the couch.

"I'm so scared." I told him honestly. He looked down at me with sympathy written all over his face. "Me too." He said.

So there we waited for our loves to come back from the tournament. We waited for a while. Soon people flooded the common room, but as soon as the first one came in I was off running down the halls to no where in particular, searching for Theo, Adon and Viktor.

"Going somewhere Lyra?" Harry called from behind me. I turned around so fast it made my head hurt. I ran to him, throwing my arms around him and hugging him tightly. He just laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Harry! You survived!" I didn't mean to sound so surprised, but I did.

"Barely." He admitted, hugging me back.

"Lyra!" Theo called from my left, I let go of Harry and turned to face Theo, Viktor, and Adon, all who had eyebrows raised.

"Right, well, see you later Lyra." Harry said before walking away with a shy smile. I waved good bye to him before turning back towards the small group of boys.

"I thought you like Draco, not Harry." Adon said, only slightly kidding.

"I don't like Harry." I said, rolling my eyes. They all just nodded, as if believing that I was telling the truth. After all, why would I lie?

"So…you're alive." I said, going over to Viktor and smiling. For some reason it seemed awkward to hug Viktor.

"Yes. And you veren't at the first task." Viktor commented coldly. Was he mad at me?

"Sorry. I just didn't want to see anyone get hurt." I said, sort of angry that he might be mad at me.

"Vell you don't have to vorry. Harry vas perfectly fine." He spat out before turning away and walking down the hall. Adon gave me a weird look before following him. What was all that about? Did he think I was more worried about Harry then I was for him? Is he that oblivious to my undying love to him? I mean, not that I'm being obvious about it or anything.

"I think you should go talk to him." Theo said as we walked back towards the Slytherin common room.

"He looks like he wants to eat me!" I complained as we stepped into the portrait hole. Adon and Viktor were sitting on the couch, Viktor with his head in his hands and Adon next to him. What was wrong here?

"Go." Theo said, giving me a slight shove in his direction.

"Uh, Viktor?" I asked. He didn't answer, he didn't even look at me. "Can I talk to you?" Still no reply. "Adon? Could you um…" I trailed off, but Adon seemed to get the hint because he and Theo were bounding up the steps a second later, leaving me and Viktor alone to talk.

I'm not sure if I liked this. What do you think?
