A/N: Hellloooo everyone. So sorry I only have had one chapter out- I wrote that chapter after reading some other Hogwarts AU Todomomo fics so I guess I was like high on inspiration lol. By the way, this will be a slow-burn fic, so as of now, her and Todoroki don't really realize that they like each other and are attracted to one another.

(Momo's perspective)
"Come on Todoroki-san!" Yaoyorozu said excitedly, as she dragged Todoroki along with her down to the Great Hall where the Goblet of Fire was. As soon as they entered, multiple eyes turned on the Ravenclaw and Slytherin as they made their way to the Goblet. Yaoyorozu looked around self-consciously, suddenly realizing just how many eyes were on them. Wow, sometimes I forget how popular Todoroki-san is. She suddenly became aware of how tightly she was holding his hand and let go, blushing a bit.
"Are you ok, Yaoyorozu?" Todoroki asked, as he noticed her looking away from him.
Yaoyorozu flushed. "Yeah, I'm just nervous" she mumbled, her eyes fixed on the ground out of embarrassment.
Todoroki lowered down to make eye contact with her and raised an eyebrow. "You don't need me to give you another pep talk on how capable you are again, do you?" he asked teasingly.
Yaoyorozu smiled slightly, "Not yet I don't."
Todoroki smirked and rose back up, "Good." He then took her hand and guided her to the front of the Goblet of Fire. "Come on, put the slip inside."
"Alright…" Yaoyorozu replied, releasing a nervous exhale as she took a slip of paper out with her elegant handwriting on it and dropped it inside the goblet. She then watched as Todoroki withdrew a similar slip of paper from his pocket (except with his own handwriting on it) and dropped it in the goblet too.
Yaoyorozu sighed, "I don't even know if I want to be picked or not. I mean I would love to represent Hogwarts in the tournament but on the other hand, it might distract me from my classes…"
Todoroki snorted, "Yaoyorozu, I think you're overthinking this. If you get picked, I'm sure you'll be able to multitask both your classes and the tournament, and if you don't get picked, then life will just go on as normal." He then grabbed Yaoyorozu's hand again and looked around the hall, "Come on, let's leave. There's too many people here."
"O-oh alright, Todoroki-san" Yaoyorozu stammered out, letting him guide her past all the watching eyes and out of the hall.
Later in the day…
"Sooo Yaomomo, I heard that you and Todoroki put your names into the Goblet together" Mina teased as they walked to their Potions class together.
Yaoyorozu's cheeks turned red with embarrassment as she muttered something under her breath.
Mina's grin widened, "What was that, Yaomomo?"
Her face only grew redder as she repeated what she said but louder, "I said that the rumors are not true. Me and Todoroki-san aren't together."
The pink-haired girl pouted, obviously disappointed at her reply. "Come on Yaomomo! It's sooo obvious to everyone that you like Todoroki and that he likes you back! You two are the only ones who refuse to admit it!"
Yaoyorozu sighed, trying to figure out a way to convince Mina that her and Todoroki did not have romantic feelings for one another. Although he is admittedly good looking and skilled in magic, Yaoyorozu has only ever regarded him as a friend, and is sure he feels the same way. Nothing romantic was occurring between them despite what their friends seem to believe.
"Mina-san, me and Todoroki-san are just friends. Nothing romantic of any sort is occurring between us."
"But you always hang out with him, and he treats you differently from the rest of us, and oh- you always blush whenever we mention you two and-"
Yaoyorozu's whole face was red now as other students turned to look at the pink haired girl as her voice grew in volume.
Yaoyorozu protested, her cheeks flaming red. "Mina-san. Please lower your volume, everyone's looking at us. And me and Todoroki-san? We're just really good friends. That's why we hang out so much, and he only treats me differently than you because again, he's a close friend."
"Explain the blushing then, Yaomomo!" Mina exclaimed, albeit quieter this time in order to not draw attention.
"That's because you're implying things about Todoroki-san and I that are not true" Yaoyorozu frowned, crossing her arms.
The pink-skinned girl shrugged, grinning. "Whatever you say, Yaomomo."
"I-"
"Ahem, ladies. Please find your seats and be seated. Class is about to start" Professor Ectoplasm interrupted, his tone filled with disapproval.
Yaoyorozu gasped, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment. "I apologize, Professor Ectoplasm!"
With that, the two girls separated to find their respective seats: with Mina sitting next to Hagakure and Yaoyorozu sitting next to Todoroki, as Professor Ectoplasm started his lecture.
"Good afternoon, Todoroki-san!"
Todoroki looked up to greet his Potions partner, a teasing smile on his face. "Good afternoon, Yaoyorozu. What were you and Mina arguing about?"
A blush rose in Yaoyorozu's face as she muttered out something unintelligible.
Todoroki tilted his head, confused. "Can you repeat that again?"
Yaoyorozu muttered out something again, albeit louder this time. "She asked if the rumors about us dating were true."
"Oh. That's- isn't that the third time she asked you this question this year?" Todoroki asked, perplexed.
The black-haired girl frowned, "Well...yes, I think this is the third time she asked me ab-" A gasp cut off the rest of her sentence as she stared at the board excitedly. "Todoroki-san! Professor Ectoplasm put today's potion on the board!" She grinned at her seat partner, having clearly forgotten all about what she was saying earlier. "Shall we get started?"
Todoroki shrugged, a small smile forming on his lips at his seat partner's excitement. "I'm ready to start when you are, Yaoyorozu."
Yaoyorozu smiled back for only a few seconds before quickly shifting her focus to the board again, eyes narrowed in concentration. "Great! Let's start."
The next day...
(Shouto's perspective)
"Um Todoroki-kun. I was wondering if you knew that guy standing over there by the stairs? He has a Durmstrang uniform on and he's staring at you pretty hard" Midoriya inquired, his green eyes darting around as he fidgeted nervously.
They were currently walking over to the Great Hall and Todoroki was caught off guard by his friend's question, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. As far as he was aware, he didn't know any Durmstrang student personally. Though...he supposed they could have been staring at him because of his old man or because they watched him at the Sports Festival.
He looked over at the stairs, where Midoriya had said the Durmstrang student was, and found himself staring at a complete stranger. Definitely must have been someone who had seen me at the Sports Festival. But that didn't really explain the absolute hate and disgust he saw radiating from the stranger's eyes. That was the weird part about it. But he just shrugged it off, not too bothered by it. Maybe he's just angry about my loss at the festival.
He then turned back towards his friend, his tone unfazed by the situation. "I don't know who he is, but he's probably just staring at me because he saw me at the Sports Festival."
Midoriya's eyes glanced back at the Durmstrang student in disbelief, but he eventually agreed with Todoroki, albeit reluctantly. "You're probably right, Todoroki-kun...let's just go to the Great Hall."
Todoroki and Midoriya took their time walking to the Great Hall as they weren't in any kind of rush, but as they entered the Great Hall, they heard an angry shout coming from the Slytherins' table.
"Do you want to die, asshole?! Get your fucking ass over here right now unless you're a fucking coward."
To no one's surprise, the angry shouting had come from Katsuki Bakugo. He was wearing a pissed off expression, his wand already out for combat. He appeared to be shouting at a Durmstrang student, who had merely smirked at the unspoken challenge before bringing out his own wand too, accepting said challenge.
Before either of them could summon a spell, a tall figure wearing glasses intervened between them. "Both of you! Stop this insolence at once!" He then turns towards the angry blonde, his arms cutting up and down in rapid and frantic motions. "Bakugo, how dare you disrespect our school by trying to start a fight with another student from another school!"
"Tch. Fuck off, four-eyes. He had it coming."
Another figure, this time female, intervened in the pending fight as well. "Iida-san is right, Bakugo-san. Fighting another student, especially one from another school, will inevitably result in consequences. Headmaster Nezu may even prevent you from putting your name into the Goblet of Fire."
Bakugo grunted, clearly dissatisfied, but backed off, putting his wand back into his pocket. "Whatever you fucking say, Ponytail." He then turned back towards the Durmstrang student, "You better hope you're not picked for the Triwizard Tournament because if you are, I'll destroy your fucking ass."
With that, the conflict de-escalated as Iida and Bakugo headed back towards their respective tables while Yaoyorozu let out a sigh of relief, clearly glad that the conflict had been avoided successfully. As Todoroki watched her, he debated whether or not to approach her and ask her about her secret techniques for calming Bakugo down but someone else beat him to it. His eyes narrowed as he saw the Durmstrang student Bakugo almost got in a fight with approach her, a smirk on his face yet again.
"I don't think we've officially met. My name is Kannan Ueda. What's yours?"
He watched as Yaoyorozu bowed as a sign of respect, though there was wariness in her eyes. "Nice to meet you, Ueda-san. My name is Momo Yaoyorozu."
"Momo...huh?" He mused as his eyes wandered all over her body. "Pretty name for a pretty girl."
Yaoyorozu flinched as she forced out a polite smile, "Why, thank you. I have somewhere to be right now, so if you would please excuse me-"
She gasped as an arm reached out to grab her wrist, effectively preventing her from going anywhere. "Is this how you treat a guest of Hogwarts? It's rude to leave when the conversation isn't over."
Todoroki instantly felt his anger flare at the sight, his fists tightening at his side.
"Um. Todoroki-kun, are you oka- where are you going, Todoroki-kun?!"
Todoroki shouldered his way through people, only seeing red, as he quickly made his way over to Yaoyorozu who was currently trying to wrestle her arm out of the Durmstrang student's grip.
"Ueda-san! Guest or not, it's inappropriate to grab someone's wrist-"
It was at that time that Todoroki intervened and grabbed Ueda's arm, clenching it tightly enough for him to let out a gasp of pain and release Yaoyorozu's arm. Todoroki glared at him, his tone icy as he spoke, "I suggest you get out of my sight before I make you."
Ueda stumbled back in fear as he registered who was in front of him, "You- You're Endeavor's son."
Todoroki scowled at his father's name, seething. "I said get out of my sight before I make you."
However, instead of backing down, Ueda recovered from his initial fear, his smirk coming back quickly. "What are you? Her boyfriend?"
Todoroki reached his hand towards his wand but before he could grab it, he felt an arm grab his own, effectively restraining him from pulling out his wand.
He looked behind him to see Yaoyorozu frowning, her arm still holding onto his. "Let's just go, Todoroki-san. I don't want to start another conflict."
He backed down, albeit reluctantly, his arm pulling back away from his wand as he sent one last hateful glare at the Durmstrang student before grabbing Yaoyorozu's hand and leading her out of the Great Hall.
After they left the Great Hall, and found themselves standing in a hallway, Yaoyorozu pulled her hand away from his, and sighed in annoyance. "I really thought he couldn't get any worse after having provoked a fight with Bakugo, but clearly I was wrong."
Todoroki clenched his fist again, still annoyed by the incident. "Yeah. I kind of understand why Bakugo wanted to fight him. He is an asshole."
Yaoyorozu crossed her arms, "Language, Todoroki-san! And although you are correct that he is a jerk, what I don't agree with is the fact that you wanted to fight him. I appreciate that you helped me out, Todoroki-san. But you should never resort to violence as a solution. There are better ways to resolve the situation besides violence, and you almost fell for his trap of trying to provoke you into starting a fight, which would have landed you in a lot of trouble. I really am flattered that you would start a fight for me, but next time something like this happens, let me resolve the conflict instead."
Todoroki opened his mouth to argue back, not entirely agreeing with her logic, but thought better of it when he saw Yaoyorozu's disapproving frown, instead deciding to keep his mouth firmly shut.
Noticing this, Yaoyorozu smiled gently, having clearly already forgiven him. "I'm glad you understand. And if we're done talking, I'll be heading back to the Great Hall. Would you like to join me, Todoroki-san?"
Todoroki watched as she extended her hand towards him, and he took it, letting out a smile unconsciously. "Sure, Yaoyorozu."
With that, Yaoyorozu dragged her along with him back into the crowd of students in the Great Hall, eyes darting around, searching for their friends. Her eyes lit up as she spotted them by the Gryffindor table, and she waved at them, smiling happily as they started making their way towards them.
Todoroki couldn't help but let out another smile again at the sight of Yaoyorozu smiling so happily and cheerfully.
It was almost...Cute.
A/N: And that's a wrap, everyone! I'm so sorry for the long update and if this chapter was kind of bad- I've been having some terrible writer's block lately so I'm sorry if this chapter wasn't written to the best of my abilities.
Also, just for clarification, there's only one Sports Festival in this AU and it's only available to seventh year students. (I do have more world building and plot that's already been planned and will be clarified in later chapters).
Another clarification is that the Durmstrang student Todoroki met at first (the one who disliked him) is a different person than the Durmstrang student who harassed Momo. Any guesses or ideas on who the first Durmstrang student may be?
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Until next time!
