Rollercoaster LOVE

announcement

We ran. I didn't know for how long. We finally reached a forest. Harry, Hermione and Ron got seperated from us. We reached the port key and looked in the sky. The Death Eaters were here. Cedric and Amos had gone with Mr.Weasley and we were instructed to return home with Ginny. WE ran into the Weasley home and informed Molly what happened. .

"I'm glad you lot are safe." She said, fear clear in her voice.

After awhile they returned and we were all safe. That night I cried. I snuck out of Ginny's room and crawled in bed with George. Fred was fast asleep but George was still awake. He moved over and covered me with his blanket. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed my temple. I was suddenly aware of him. The way his chest slowly rose and fell. The way the moonlight hit his eyes causing them to sparkle brighter than the stars. It went from such a happy event to a terror so quickly. I looked at George and realized something. I might have feelngs for him.

We were back to Hogwarts faster than we knew. Charlie Weasley had come home and nobody could tell us why. It was as the adults called it.. a surprise.

I snuggled into George and fell asleep. Since that night I slept with him every night because of the nightmares that came about the cup. The newspaper was filled with stories of the cup. Each worse than the least it seemed deatheaters escaped Azkaban. Dark times were coming, and we didn't know it.

I hadn't heard from Draco since he cup and I figured he was busy with his family. I was busy with the Weasley's and hadn't paid attention to it. I excused myself to go change into my robe and ran into Draco.

"I'm glad you're safe." he said pulling me into a hug.

"I could say the same. I was so scared." I said as we pulled away.

"We'll be safe in the school."Draco told me.

I nodded and we said goodbye. He must have known I was going to return to the Weasley's. I silently thanked him for not causing too much trouble although, it wansn't usually with the twins.

I came back with candy and played a hand of poker with Lee. The practice with Draco had paid off and I had won. I grinned. Maybe this year would be great.

"SILENCE. I have a few announcements to make. The forbidden forest is forbidden to students" Dumbledore announced. He named some prank items that were exluded that made the boys mad. I laughed. Knowing them they had them ready to use.

"This year we won't be having Quidditch." He started.

"Rubbish!" George yelled. I grabbed his arm forcing him to sit once again. He turned to me and said," well it is." I shrug.

"SILENCE." Dumbledore commanded.  This hushed the entire room.

"This year Hogwarts will play host to The Triwizard Tournament." Dumbeldore said," Three schools compete side by side for eternal glory. This contest is not for the faint hearted.. The ministry has put in a new rule this year that all contestants must be at least 17 years of age to compete."

The crowd got rowdy again. The twins were furious that they wouldn't be able to participate because they still had five months until they turned 17. I didn't admit it then but I was glad they couldn't. People have died in these games.

We went to the common room and my group of friends sat in a circle talking.

"Imagine. Eternal Glory." Lee fantisized.

"People die in these games." Hermione said.

"But the prize money would be enough to open our shop." Fred said.

The boys wanted to open a joke shop but needed money to do that. They have invented some really neat things throughout the years but didn't earn enough yet to do that.

"I'd win for sure."Ron said nodding his head curtly. We all laughed.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Ronald, I'd rather not explain this one" Hermione said causing us to laugh even harder.

"I wouldn't want to enter. Ihave enough problems." Harry stated.

"I wouldn't want to lose any of you." I whisper.

Fred pulls me in for a side hug. Everyone looked at me and there was a moment of silence.

"You won't lose any of us. I promise."Fred said.

The conversation continued on as to what we would do with the prize money had we recieved it. I didn't say anything but I knew Harry and myself were set. His parents had left enough money behind plus the intrest it gathered to set him up for Hogwarts and at least five years after graduation. My parents had enough that I would be okay. We listened cheerfully before we all decided to head to our rooms.

"LOOK THERE!" announced a student. Off in the distance we saw Chariots descending from the sky.

"The Lake!" announced another student as a great ship arose from it.

We were directed back into the Great Hall. We took our seats as Dumbledore announced the arrival of The Beauxbatons were announced. They twirled and danced into the Great Hall causing all the boys to stare in envy. I looked around shaking my head. It was then I noticed a pair of eyes meeting mine and not looking away. Next, Durmstrang msrched in. The girls had their turn to watch and look on. Viktor Krum marched in with their headmaster. During this my eyes never left his. I couldn't figure out why he would stare at me when all of these gorgeous people walked in.

It was Draco.
