Malfoy's Girl

Chapter 8- Year 4

Year 4, WOW. Well, to be honest everything is still the same. What could possibly happen this year? Voldemort coming to the school as a teacher? Oh wait that already happened. Maybe a giant snake will attack my brother in the ladies bathroom. That happened too. 

I just hoped and prayed that this year would be a little different, maybe no murder threats? That's too much to pray for. But of course not even the school year started and there was already an attack. In the Quidditch World Cup that we went this summer. There was a dark mark in the sky and the place was attacked by, apparently, death eaters. Not only that, but this year is the Triwizard tournament, a tournament in which three magic schools participate to win the triwizard cup. I wanted to volunteer to participate, but only those who were over 17 could. 

The back to school wasn't as bad as I thought. The gryffindor common room was as dull as always, with Hermione reading "Hogwarts: a history of magic" again. My brother and Ron were nowhere to be seen so I went to the Great Hall to get breakfast. 
Harry wasn't there either, but guess who was. Malfoy. Almost three months without seeing him but I guess nothing lasts forever. He stared at me with his disgusting smirk, I ignored him and sit down. We were facing each other but at the other side of the hall, but in a matter of seconds I couldn't see him anymore as a beautiful angel face was standing in front of me, blocking my sight. "Evie, right?" a nice low voice asked. 
It was Cedric Diggory, the amazingly handsome Cedric whom I spent my summer at the Quidditch World Cup with. "Well yes, Cedric. It's nice to see that after almost three months you remembered my name" i said with a smile at end, wondering if I sounded very mean. He chuckled, which made me feel good. "Do you happen to know where your brother is?" he asked. Of course he wanted to talk to him, "Nope, haven't seen him, but if you do find him, please tell him to remember that he has a sister" I said, Cedric smiled gave me a bow and left. 
God, my heart was beating fast, I was so distracted by the conversation I just had, that I didn't notice a frowned face staring at me from the other side of the room. I smiled, and when I realized it was too late to take it back. 
"Oh, does someone have a little crush?" Fred and George were laughing. "Of course not. He's horrible" I replied, not trying to look much interested. "Well, he's a little older for you anyways" George included. "No he's not! I'm way more mature than he is" I said. They stared at me in confusion. "He's our age Evie" now I was confused. "Who are we talking about?" I asked while bringing a jaffa cake to my mouth. "Well, Cedric, who are YOU talking about?" Fred asked with a little smile. "Oh Cedric, yeah, no, yeah" I mumbled. "So you do like him!" George chuckled. I didn't even think when I said "Well, yeah I do" they stared at me in surprise which obligued me to add "doesn't everyone?" they kept smiling like idiots while teasing me about Cedric. 

In between classes, while walking through the crowded halls I encountered Malfoy, charming as always, he said "Potter, I saw you this morning talking to Diggory, he's too much, even for you". I didn't know what he meant, but I answered anyways. "Aw Malfoy, competition won't do you any better. And less if it is someone you've got no chance against". That seemed to piss him off because he left without saying a word. 

That same night I was late to dinner, and when I got there Dumbledore stared at me for a few seconds before starting off with his speech. He was saying something about the triwizard tournament and applying and more stuff, but I wasn't really listening. When, all of the sudden, there was a loud noise and the doors stood open. Then, some beautiful girls dressed in blue and surrounded by butterflies entered the Great Hall dancing and enchanting everyone around. I wondered if I was dreaming. Ginny filled me in and explained that they came from another wizarding school, and they were here for the tournament. Apparently they were french, that made a lot of sense. I could hear my brother and Ron talking about them nonstop, specially Ron, who found them "mysterious" and "angel-like", I could see every other girl rolling their eyes and staring in disgust, how pathetic, bring down other girls because they are more beautiful than you? 
A while later, there was another loud noise and the doors opened again, this time revealing a group of very big men who looked like bears. I heard a girl screaming a name that I didn't quite catch, but when I looked closely I saw Victor Krum, the Quidditch World Cup Champion, now I was excited. He didn't look very friendly but he was hot as hell. More girls screaming and people shouting his name, it was beginning to annoy me. The students of the other schools seated in different tables, I saw some french girls talking to Cedric Diggory, but there was a huge crowd standing around Victor Krum, who still had a very tense face on. There were many people there and I didn't know where anyone was. I stared around until my eyes locked with someone else's. 
"Looking a bit lost, aren't we?" I turned around to find Malfoy looking at me with a smile on his face. "Ugh, I'm going to my room" I said and turned to face the stairs very quickly. "Goodnight Potter" he said. I didn't turn around of course. It would have been a dumb movement from my side, but I still smiled while walking up the staircase. 

Its been a while lol
