"It was just so crazy how Viktor Krum came out of nowhere and caught the snitch! It's such a shame that Ireland won anyways." Ron told the group that consisted of Riley, Harry, and Hermione.

"That's what you find so crazy! How about the fact that there was a dark mark in the sky?" She yelled which caused her to be shushed by Riley. Hermione gave her friend a look before continuing to eat.

"It's so crazy that there's going to be a ball." Riley sighed with a slight smile on her face. She looked over to see the shy boy and her heart fluttered. Ron looked over as well before asking very loudly, "Who are you staring at?"

Riley turned bright red and hit her brother, "Shut up, you git!"

Ron looked at her confused, "I'll never understand girls."

"What are your brothers doing?" Harry asked. He was facing towards the twins.

"Ever since the announcement of that stupid tournament.." Riley began.

"It's not stupid!" Ron fought back.

"It's been banned for years because people have died!"

"Fred and George are trying to enter it. They want the money to open up a joke shop." Ron answered Harry, ignoring Riley.

"They're only sixteen! They're not old enough." Hermione informed the group.

"Not old enough, not good enough, and definitely not smart enough," Malfoy replied from behind Ron and Riley. Riley was a peaceful girl. She never fought or argued especially since she was shy and her face always turned the same color as her hair but there was something about Draco Malfoy. Something that fueled her with hate and made her want to punch him in his always smirking face. Yet with her, he was different. Yes, he was still a prick who constantly tried to convince her that being pureblood is the best and that they shouldn't associate with muggle-borns but he was different. It seemed like he was worried for her, trying to protect her from something. Riley didn't know what but she was more than capable protecting herself... Well, having her older brothers protect her.

"Back off, Malfoy." Harry glared.

"That's the best comeback you have, Potter. Pathetic."

"Hey! Leave him alone!" Riley glared.

"Watch yourself, Weasley. They might be able to protect you now but if you keep associating yourself with these muggle-sympathisers, they won't be able to protect you much longer."

Draco looked at her before looking around at her friends. He saw the way Seamus, Dean, and even Neville looked at him, the way the older boy twins were almost out of their seats, the way Harry, Ron, and Hermione were glaring at him. Everyone around her was ready to jump in her defense.

"What? Like you will?" she scoffed.

"Malfoy, leave. You're making fool of yourself," Harry stated and the four friends turned away from Malfoy who just ended up leaving.

"Why is he so creepily obsessed with you?" Ron asked.

"It's the Weasley charm, only us good looking are cursed with." George winked.

"What are you two boys doing over there?" Riley asked, trying to change the conversation to anything other

"Us, MEN, are figuring out how to enter the tournament," Fred stated.

"We just need to figure out how the champions are picked," George continued.

"Dumbledor knows you two aren't of age," Riley replied.

"People have died, though!" said Hermione in a worried voice.

Fred decided to ignore them, " Hey, Ro, what if we find out how to get 'round Dumbledor? Fancy entering?"

"No!" Riley replied in shocked.

"Harry, what d'you reckon?" Ron asked.

"I expect my gran'd want me to try, though. She's always going on about how I should be upholding the family honor." Neville told them.

"Neville, you're already doing a great job at upholding your family honor. The way you stood up to us our first year! That was so brave!" Riley told him. "Your parents would be so, so proud of you."

Neville gave her a shy smile as he blushed, "Thank you, Riley."

"O-of course." She giggled as Hermione stood up.

"Come, Ri. Time for class." Hermione smiled.

"Y-yeah!" Riley cleared her throat. "Bye, Neville." She gave him a shy wave before leaving with Hermione. "Merlin, I'm such an idiot." She whispered to her best friend.

"I thought it was adorable. Now, let me tell you about Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare."

Riley groaned, regretting leaving the boys.
