Chapter 6
"Thanks for waiting for us guys." I said as I hit Sora, Roxas, Ron, Fred and George in the head after Harry and I came into the common room. It looked so much cooler than I could have ever imaged it. The movie kinda was right with how the room was set up and the colors of the walls but that was about all they got right. The book does a way better job of describing it thought.
"We knew that you would find us eventually." Sora said which got him another hit but this time, Harry hit him.
"You know this school better that most of us. You have a map of it that you look at every single night. Plus you have that notebook that you write in every night." Roxas said.
"Yeah, Harry and I have been here for three years and we barely know where everything is." Ron said.
"Can I smack him so hard that he would feel like he was hit with the Cruciatus Curse?" I asked Harry and Hermione. Sadly they were both shaking their heads and I kicked the edge of the couch, moving it about an inch. The guys didn't even notice it; they went back to talking about the Triwizard Tournament and how Fred and George were planning on make an ageing potion.
"Do I really have to deal with them anymore?" I asked as I pointed my thumb towards the idiots.
"At least you don't have to sleep with them for a year." Harry said as the two of us and Hermione sat down at one of the tables that were on the other side of the room.
"Try spending every living moment with Sora and Roxas and Donald and Goofy. Four guys, one girl, four bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and finally one small bathroom that I can't even fit my straighter on the edge of the sink." I told them.
"Yeah, Sydney has the more problems." Hermione said.
"Yes, I'm the winner! Dang it, I'm the winner." I said.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Harry asked making Hermione and I snap our heads up to stare at him.
"No it isn't." The two of us said. When Harry finally felt the pressure of our glares, he did a fake yawn and quickly ran upstairs to his room which made us laugh. For the next hour or so, Hermione and I were just talking, about Hogwarts, about the guys about family (without me telling her about my parents). I think that it was about midnight when we finally decided to go to sleep.
"I don't like Divination. Our last teacher was a complete idiot." I said when the six of us (me, Sora, Roxas, Harry, Hermione and Ron) started going thought our timetables.
"Well this teacher is the same as that one, if not worse." Ron said.
"Well, at least we're outside all morning, herbology with the Hufflepuffs and care of magical creatures with the Slytherins, dang it!" Sora said as Malfory entered the hall. I shot him a glare which he just ignored.
"It's not fair that we're stuck with the Slytherins again. I really hate them!" Ron said.
"At least it's not like the time where we had to save those two ki-"Sora said before Roxas and I kicked him in his shins (I was sitting across from him with Harry and Hermione, Roxas sitting next to him with Ron on his other side.).
"I thought we said that we weren't going to talk about that side of our lives." Roxas and I whispered.
"Sorry, I didn't know that we agreed that we weren't going to talk about that part of our lives." Sora said in a hushed tone.
"What's this about another life?" Ron said making the three of us jump.
"Nothing, why would we be talking about another life anyways? It's not like we have one." I said wish that I didn't cuz that would automatically give away our secret.
"Alright, so who do you guys think is going to be the Hogwarts Champion?" Ron asked and that was how the rest of the morning went. Actually, that's how I felt the rest of the month went. Before we knew it was October 30th and the whole school was standing out on the front steps, waiting for the two schools that were also competing in the Triwizard Tournament.
"Stupid weather, why is it so cold out here?" Roxas said as he gripped his cloak tighter.
"I have a guess, Santa's coming!" Sora said which made me smack him upside the head.
"No, it's October, the leaves are falling off the trees, the air is getting colder and we're all wearing heavy clothes." I told them, as I had the song 'Tell me that you love me' by Victoria Justice.
"I think that there's something coming out of the forest." I heard someone say as a beautiful carriage pulled by something that looked like horses.
"I know who's in there." I told the guys trying to make them jealous but I think that they got used to me saying things like that.
"If they're girls, I don't really care." Roxas said and I felt like I should slap him.
"Don't drool, you're not allowed to meddle in this world. Stick to girls that you actually have a chance with." I didn't say who the person/people mainly because Sora either didn't meet her or doesn't remember her.
"Am I not allowed to flirt while I'm looking for them? Is that really so bad?" Roxas said as the girls from Beauxbations Academy of Magic walked passed us. I stepped on Roxas' foot for just staring at the girls as they walked into the castle. He could look at girls when there actually are girls that aren't off limits to him.
"No, you really aren't allowed to flirt with them. It is really bad when consider the position that we're in. The only time I'll actually let you flirt with them is when it's time for the ball." I said as the Drumstrang boat came rising out of the water. The ship had a strangely skeletal look about it, as though it was a resurrected wreck, and the dim, misty lights shimmering at its portholes looked like ghostly eyes. I have to admit, I kinda really wanted to go inside the ship and explore it mainly because it looks really cool on the outside, images what it looks on the inside. Sadly, no students for each school can not go into their rooms, places, ships.
"Notice how I'm not freaking out like Ron is." I said as I pointed towards Ronald who was getting all excited about the fact the Viktor Krum. Dumbledore and Karkaroff started talking and then karkaroff led Drumstrang into the great hall with the rest of us following.
At the start of dinner, Dumbledore started talking about the tournament again which I just tuned out. When everyone started booing, I knew that it must have been about the time where Fudge told everyone about the age limit.
"I really wanted to compete in this thing." Sora complained once dinner was over. The three of us, Harry, Hermione and Ron were heading up to the Gryfindor common room.
"Stuck it up little princess. Wait until next time." I said as he threw his left arm over my shoulder while he threw the right one over Roxas' shoulders.
"Oh, well, but I don't see how we ended up here. There are no dark things around." Roxas whispered the last part. It was true, over the past month, we haven't seen any Heartless or Nobodies. I could tell that we were worried about that but we just had to deal with that for the moment. I looked down a corridor to see a black shadow move. I stopped which made Sora and Roxas stop too.
"You guys go ahead, we'll be up in a few minutes." I said to Harry and them as I waved my hand for them to go along. We waited until they were out of sight before running down the hall bringing out our weapons. We looked around, on guard for a few moments before we lowered our guard.
"Maybe it was a false alarm?" Sora said as a suggestion. It seemed like that was a possible solution but I had my doubts. I know what I saw and there is no way that my own eyes would lie to me.
"Possible but very unlikely. Sydney's never lied about this kind of stuff before." Roxas said as we headed down another corridor. See, I even had Roxas to back me up on this! Before anybody else could say anything else, three heartless jumped out from nowhere. It was easy to destroy them, but there was no way to save the hearts that we freed.
"Told you that I wasn't wrong." I said as I looked around to make sure there was no more. Lucky for us, there wasn't so we started to head for the common room, minus the weapons.
"Where did you guys go?" Hermione asked once we sat down by the fireplace in the common room.
"Just had to check on something. Nothing major or anything like that." Roxas said.
"So who do you think is going to be the Hogwarts Champion?" I asked changing the topic. It worked with Harry and Ron but not on Hermione but she just went along with it. As the guys went on talking about each person who they think could win it, I just started thinking about what all could go wrong with this. It was around eleven when everyone decided to head to bed. I was happy that Hermione didn't interrogate me when we were in our room.
"Did you guys get questioned last night?" I asked as I came down early the next morning. The rest of the girls were still asleep along with most of the school. I would think that the only Gryffindors that are actually awake are me, Sora and Roxas. The only reason we're ever up is because we sorta had this unspoken thing that whenever heartless shows up, we talk about it when no one else is around.
"No, Harry and Ron didn't catch on to anything. Did Hermione start questioning you once you guys went upstairs?" Roxas said before he started yawning.
"No, thank god! I was actually nervous about you guys leaving me alone last night." I said as I sat down across from them.
"Can we actually start talking about what happened last night Before I fall asleep on the couch." Sora said as he straighten out his tie. We were all wearing our uniforms since we did have classes today even though we do get out early.
"Fine, why that hell would Heartless show up almost two months after we showed up here? What would have been keeping them out and why is that force weakening now?" I asked as I kept on looking around the room. I'm always worried about what people would say if they heard what we were talking about.
"I don't know, but I did read about how there was sort of magically barrier surrounding the castle and the forest. I have a feeling that is the reason the Heartless haven't shown up until now. It really shouldn't be weakening now? There is no possible way that it could happen." Roxas said as he looked towards the stairs.
"It could be possible that this magic barrier could be weakening against the Heartless. So if it's weakening against the Heartless, Nobodies could also be able to come in." Sora said as his eyes started to close.
"Maybe we should tell Dumbledore or a teacher about this. It can only get worse with the triwizard cup starting up soon." I suggested.
"No, nobody else besides us know about this. I think that we should just go along with it then if it happens again or gets worse, we'll tell Dumbledore." Roxas said as he pushed Sora off of him.
"I'm not completely sure of the plan but I'll go along with it," I said just as he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. We shut up and watch the fire.
"What are you guys doing up so early?" Harry said once he saw us. I turned to look at him. He was still in his pjs and his hair was a mess so I would think that he just got out of bed.
"We're just talking about the tournament. I wonder what the tasks are?" Sora said hoping to change the topic. I could tell that Harry wasn't going to change his mind any time soon but he just went along with it.
"This is going to take forever!" Sora complained as we sat in the dining room eating the feast that had been prepared. I didn't know why but this feast seemed to go a whole lot slower than any other time here. Probably because this was our second feast in two days or the excitement that came from the champions getting pick afterwards. Either way it seemed to take longer than it should have.
Finally, when everything was taken away Dumbledore stood up with Professor Karkaroff and Madame Maxime on either side of him.
"Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision, I estimate that it requires one more minute. Now when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber' where they will receiving their first instructions." Dumbledore stated as he pointed towards a door on the side of the hall. With a wave of his wand all the lights except the candles in the pumpkins went out. The gobet shone more brightly and beautiful than we've ever seen it before. I could hear people saying one more second all around and to tell you the truth, Roxas, Sora and I started leaning towards the goblet, waiting to see who would be the first champion.
The fire turned red as it let a little slip of paper loose. The little slip fluttered around in the air, making its way around the goblet. Dumbledore grabbed it once it was in arms length.
"The champion for Durmstrang will be Viktor Krum." Dumbledore read before the Durmstrang boys burst into cheer, congratulating Viktor as he made his way up towards the staff table. Once he went into the next chamber, everyone's attention switched back to the goblet which turned red seconds later. The second slip of paper softly made its way to Dumbledore. "The champion for Beauxbatons, is Fleur Delacour!" The hall burst into cheers as Fleur made her way towards Dumbledore and the staff. I could hear Hermione making a comment about how the rest of the girls from Beauxbatons looked disappointed but I already knew that was an understatement. But now was not the time to think about those girls. Right now is the time to see who the Hogwarts champion would be. I've been dying of curiosity ever since the whole tournament was announced. Sure I knew who this was going to be but do I really want to spoil everything now. Plus, it is so much more exciting to see all of this in person instead of watching it on a tv screen or reading about it in a book.
Once the hall went quiet once more, the goblet started acting up, spitting out the third piece of paper. The excitement and curiosity just seemed to grow with each passing second. Finally, the paper landed in Dumbledore's hand and the whole hall seemed to have leaned forward to see who would be call the Hogwarts champion. "The Hogwarts champion is... Cedric Diggory!" Dumbledore called before the whole hall seemed to start screaming and yelling as Cedric made his way to the next chamber.
"Excellent!" Dumbledore called happily once the noise stopped. "Well, we now have our three champions. I am sure I can count upon all of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering your champions on, you will contribute in a very real-" Dumbledore stopped in the middle of his speech. For a second, the whole hall seemed to be confused as to why he stopped but being the only one who knows what happens, I looked towards the goblet to see that it has changed colour again. That must mean that Harry is going to be called. A fourth piece of paper came out of the goblet and slowly started making its way down to Dumbledore's hand. Once he had hold of the paper, he opened it and read the name that was on it. "Harry Potter!" He yelled. I grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him into a standing position. Then I pushed him down the aisle. He made his way towards the next chamber and all I could think about was 'have fun with that Harry.' Dumbledore was about to start talking about when the goblet started to act up again. I knew that little piece of paper that was floating down either had, Sora or Roxas or Donald or Goofy or my name on it. If I was lucky enough, it would be any of them other than myself but of course, luck is never on my side.
"Sydney Jackson!"
