TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT

MELODY HARPER

THE IMAGE OF HIS PIERCING GREY EYES stuck in my mind since I saw them. The way they slowly travelled up and down my body, observing quietly, whilst smirking; it gave me chills, the type that spread through your back like a blazing wildfire, but also mixed with the feeling of the cold winter breeze, blowing on your body when you step outside of the door. That was the first time I truly had encountered Draco Malfoy, though we have not had a conversation, he's not one that I would like to be around. I've heard about his history with people, and it's definitely not a good one. The rumors of him playing girls, and being so ruthless torwards people.

When you walk down the corridor, you could overhear his voice, mocking someone, spitting snarky remarks to them. His voice was gravelly and hoarse. When he spoke to anyone, or in class, it would shoot shivers straight down the spine through the back of peoples bodies, making them straighten their posture. Malfoy never usually spoke in class so often, always snickering and talking to his fellow Slytherins in the back of the classroom, thats why people reacted the way they did.

When I had turned back around to go to the other side of the train compartments, I started to hear the boys talking, but I was already further ahead, so the voices tended to be quite muffled. I wasn't one to eavesdrop on other peoples conversation, I liked to be respectful. Whilst I was walking through the aisle of the train, I could hear students chattering amongst themselves, laughing and conversing with one another without a care in the world. I could hear the trolley rattling throughout the aisleway, the sound echoing beyond the amidst of my hearing.

After a couple minutes of walking, I finally reached the compartment of my friends. Every so often, I would switch around who I sit and hang out with, since I didn't want to exclude anyone. Sometimes, I think that I could be a Hufflepuff, due to how nice I am, how my loyalty sticks no matter what. Many of my friends have even pointed out that, if they didn't see my robe, they would have assumed I was a Hufflepuff.

When I entered the compartment; Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley all sat chatting, showing their unique smiles and laughs, looking problem free. I stood admiring my friends, I had no idea, how lucky I got, when I was able to be friends with these three. Luna was the first to notice my presence, turning her head; her platinum blonde hair, swaying from the side of her shoulder, over to her back. Her sky blue eyes, beaming up at me, pure happiness shining right through them.

"Hello there Melody, come to join us?" Her silky soft spoke out, causing Neville and Ginny to stop what they were saying and look in my direction; their smiles growing wider, sometimes I get worried that they might hurt themselves from smiling too hard.
