Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

25

"Hogwarts has been choosen to host a legendary event!" Dumbledores voice boomed through the entire great hall from where he stood, infront of everyone.

"The Triwizard Tournament!"

My eyes widened and I looked over at Draco who surprisingly looked intrigued while he slipped his hand into mine glancing at me for a moment.

"Now for those of you who do not know, The Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests for each school a single student is selected to compete" Dumbledore explained, pausing halfway through his sentence for a moment.

"Let me be clear! If chosen you stand alone and trust me when I say these contests are not for the faint-hearted but more of that later" he continued and I felt Draco's eyes on me again as I listened carefully to the words coming from our headmaster.

"For now! Please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons academy of magic!" He exclaimed as the doors opened and we all looked over.

"And their headmistress Madame Maxime!"

A group of girls dressed head to toe in baby blue entered the great hall, stopping every once in a while throwing their arms out catching the attention of the all the boys in the great hall; Draco included.

I slapped his shoulder when I noticed him staring at them, he looked over at me giving me a 'what the fuck was that for' look before realizing and leaning in to kiss my cheek softly making me smile shyly.

"No need to be jealous Iris" he teased nudging my arm lightly with his elbow as I looked over at the blonde glaring jokingly "I'm not jealous" I was lying straight through my teeth, I was jealous.

I saw him smirk and roll his eyes jokingly "whatever you say, love" he whispered into my ear causing a chill to run down my spine when I cleared my throat and looked down feeling my cheeks heat up.

I was pulled out of my thoughts though when Dumbledore's voice echo'd through the greathall once again "and now our friends from the north! Please great the proud sons of dumbstrang and their headmaster Igor Karkarov!"

I brought my attention over again watching as they entered, they clearly had been preparing for this day for a while as their entrance was so perfectly executed.

I felt Draco wrap an arm around my waist tightly, protectively and clearly out jealously when they started doing tricks while Vikor Krum and Igor Karkarov entered the great hall.

Reached over grabbing Draco's hand with a smirk on my face as I turned to look at him shaking my head when I saw the look on his face as he looked at me.

Suddenly his expression changed as he shot his eyes head forward in annoyance, narrowing his eyes as I turned to look at the Gryffindor table where Draco was looking without any second thought.

My eyes wandered till they landed on Harry's green ones, I perked an eyebrow up as Draco suddenly pulled me closer to him.

My eyes softened though when they met the eyes of Hermonie, giving her a soft smile as she looked at me. She without a doubt was disappointed with me but she didn't seem mad.

I broke the eye contact as I looked back at the blonde next to me as he finally looked away from the table they once were on.

I was lucky that Ruby and Ivy weren't paying attention to us because they definitely would have started teasing us almost immediately though I wasn't aware of ny cousin Destiny, whos eyes were locked on me from her seat at Ravenclaw table.

The feast had started but my appetite wasn't present which me to push my food around rather than actually eat it. I always had this issue on my birthday, I found it hard to eat at the memory of my mother screams of pain following a painful silence.

"My father wanted me to attend Dumbstrang" Draco boomed as I placed down my fork putting on a fake smile as I looked at the blonde, wrapping my arms lazily around his neck.

"I'm sure he did" I mumbled, failing to hide the pain in my voice as I did so causing Draco to look over at me his eyes filled with worry as he looked at me.

In attempt to avoid the question he was about to ask I continued the current topic "you wouldn't last a day at Dumbstrang" I told him sounding a little less dead as he seemly forgot about my previous state and glared at me.

Scoffing he rolled his eyes "uh rude" he mocked, earning a couple snickers from infront of us as Ivy and Ruby listened into the conversation.

"Sorry but—" I apologized as I leaned in pecking his lips before continuing "its true, you're just too soft" I teased causing not just Ruby and Ivy but everyone who heard me instantly start ooo-ing.

The blonde narrowed his eyes at me making me giggle as a stupid smile plastered onto my face "I am not soft" he hissed pretending to be offended making Ivy laugh hitting the table with her knee.

I rested my chin on his shoulder still smiling like an idiot at him "should I remind you what you were cuddling me on the train and when you played the piano for m-" he cut me off when he threw his hand over my mouth making me chuckle.

"Stop while your ahead missy" he warned as he slowly removed his hand from my mouth seeing I had an accomplished smile on my lips.

"I literally hate you sometimes" he groaned throwing his head back making me smile when four men walked in with a tall package causing me to remove my arms from around Draco and look forward.

I watched as they placed it down infront of Professor Dumbledore as he got up to stand next to it.

"Your attention please!" Dumbledore announced loudly causing the great hall to fall silent waiting for him to continue "I'd like to say a few words" he started causing the anticipated to grow in the great hall.

"Eternal Glory!" He said loudly before pausing once again for a moment or two "that is what awaits the student who wins The Triwizard Tournament but to do this; that student must survive three tasks! Three extremely dangerous tasks"

I looked around at my friends to get their reactions as I slipped my hand into Dracos from under the table ans resting my head on his shoulder.

"For this reason the ministry has seen fit to impose a new rule... to explain all this we have the head of the department of international magical cooperation Mr. Bartemius Crouch" he welcomed when thunder and lightning broke loose above us.

I yelped covering my ears before burying my face into Draco's chest as he hugged me tightly whilw everyone began screaming when rain poured down from above.

When it stopped Draco removed my hands from my ears making me lean back to look at him for a moment before letting my eyes fall behind him and he did the same.

"Mad Eye Moody.. he was one of the aurora who worked my mothers case, he also arrested my father" I whispered to Draco as he looked back at me holding my hand again and giving it a tight squeeze.

"He was the auror who actually brought me to my aunts" I continued but sighed closing my eyes at the memory of that night which seemed to have taken the attention from Draco as he pulled me closer to him.

"After due consideration the ministry has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of 17 should be allowed to put forth their name for the Triwizard Tournament!" Crouch didn't even get to continue when students from all four houses started protesting loudly drowning the rest of this statement.

I jumped though when Dumbledore suddenly yelled for us to be quiet which made Theo chuckle from the other side of me as I reached up slapping the back of his head as hard as I could before turning to watch as the goblet was slowly revealed.

"The goblet of fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament.. write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw in the flame before this hour on Thursday night do not do so likely if choosen.. theres no turning back as from this moment the triwizard tournament has begun"

Turned looking at Draco whos eyes were locked onto the blue flames when I spoke up "this is going to be one crazy year I already know it"
