Grayson 21 weeks

Atlas's POV

Students gathered around the Goblet of Fire waiting anxiously. Some had their names written on a paper but were too scared to actually put their names in. I had been holding back for the week, and nobody was stopping me now.

Stepping forward, I was planning on holding onto Papa's legacy.  I don't hesitate to walk through the circle, tossing my name into the fire. I turn and smirk as the others erupt into cheers.

Taking a quick bow I step out of the circle, a bit of guilt hitting as I knew Ash was at home with his parents, plus I told him and Papa I wouldn't. His words have been running through my brain over and over again.

"Yeah, yeah- now let the hotter Malfoy go" Em jumps off of a stand strutting her stuff as she walked by, hitting my shoulder. I rolled my eyes, as she kissed her paper and threw it into the fire.

She walked out as I sent her a finger. The bitch hissed at me. I go to make a comment, but get cut off as the twins stand, high-fiving each other. "Time for the actual hotties in this family to go" they giggle. Iris quickly looks over to Em. "You're still hotter than me babe" Iris shouts getting a wink from Em.

"Did you all really wait for me to go" I sigh tapping my foot impatiently? "Well if you do it, Papa can't get that... mad at me" Em shrugs getting snickers and chuckles from other students. The twins switch papers smiling.

"Ready Iris?" Ready Ivy!" "Here we go!" They shout together before throwing their papers into the fire. "So extra" I roll my eyes. "Shut up, it felt right" Ivy shrugs her shoulders as they step-out of the circle.

"Well well, if it isn't Mr. Albino" the one and only Jax steps out from a group of students. I step forward still sizing them up. "Hello to you too Jax" I smirk crossing my arms.  "I swear I hate this family" Seren stands up notebook in her hand.

She closes her book and leaves, the door closing behind her. "I almost thought you had gotten tanner, but it was just the light from the fire" they sigh as other kids stare between us terrified.

"What is with you and pale people, you have a fetish or something?" I laugh getting some laughs from the others. "It almost sounds like you want a fight Malfoy?" Jax lifts their chin giving me a harsh stare. "Fine then Lupin, let's fight" I raise my fist as others gasp.

"Oh yeah bite their head off!" Ivy shouts draping over her sister. "Just don't damage the hair" Iris jumps in as Em dances around chanting "fight! Fight! Fight!" Over and over again.

"If I win, we're switching houses for a week.  You get my parents I get yours" they whisper and I nod. Jabbing my hand toward them I grab their nose.  "Atlas not nice, you know I have a sensitive nose" they whine yanking my hair to make me let go.

We both laugh as everybody gives us worried and scared glances. "Damn it, I really wanted you to fight" Em sighs slumping into a seat. Both of us roll our eyes before I take my hand in theirs. "So you putting your name in?" I ask looking over to the flame.

"Nah... have you seen my school, it's filled with brutes, they're all crazy" they whisper the last part. "Sounds like you're just scared" I chuckle and they let go of my hand.

"Scared? As if, why would I want to do something that's going to involve running around and being smart, those kids would much rather do it and would actually try. You know I would be sleeping at the starting line". I nod knowing damn well they were telling the truth.

"My school is extremely competitive, if you asked me I would have no idea who's going to get chosen from there" they shrug. "You dimwits didn't really need to say hi to each other by starting a 'fight'" Ivy unlatched herself from her sister and walks over to us.

I groan as Iris practically pounces on my sister. The goblet goes off as somebody else burns their name. We all snap our heads to the side to see who the competition to enter would be. "Oh, not my school, and I'm good" I exhale. 

"Hello," the girl smiles looking between us all. She didn't seem that strong physically at least. Maybe she's a genius or something. "Hi..." Iris is the only one to answer. Her arms wrapped around Emerald who was looking the girl up and down.

"You seem a little young" Em jumps in. By the way she looked at the girl you could she did not like her.  "I get that a lot, I just turned 16 yesterday" she smiles giving us a little bow.  Other kids started to timidly walk up to the fire-throwing their names in, getting cheers from their peers.

"So will you most likely be the competition?" She looks over to Em and my cousins looking them up and down before turning to me. She smiles before turning back to the girls. "If I heard correctly, you are... 2 of the Malfoys?" She smiles innocently.

"What's it to you?" Em snaps stepping forward, this twat was getting on my nerves. "Nothing..." she sighs looking away. Her eyes widen again and she whips her head back around to look at the twins. "And you are?" She asks looking them up and down. "Zabini" they answer Ivy stepping forward. "Quit your glaring though, I'm not scared to snap your neck" she crosses her arms.

"Crickets..." she mumbles into her hand before walking towards the door ignoring the threat from Ivy.  "I had thought that you might have been Weasleys" she sighs her hand on the door.  Ivy and Iris send each other shocked looks as Jax places their hand on my shoulder. 

"What's going on" they mouth, I shrug my shoulders in response. "What the fuck do you want with our Mom" They shout Iris moving next to her twin. "Oh so you are Weasleys" she chuckles pushing open the door.

"Don't just walk away" Ivy starts to storm towards the girl, it was obvious who had gotten Uncle Blaise's temper.  Slamming the door shut, she pins the younger girl against it. 

The room was silent as everybody looked around shocked and nervous. I looked between the students seeing only a few other kids in the light blue uniforms. They seemed on edge but didn't jump in to help their classmate.

Iris runs over to join her sister. "What exactly do you think you're doing" Iris gives her a harsh look. "Well you see, I'm just trying to rile up the competition" the brat giggles stepping underneath Ivy's arm.

"It seems to be easier than I anticipated" she chuckles opening the door and stepping out. "Wait- give me your name!" Ivy shouts letting out a frustrated groan as the girl apparently disappeared.

Ivy and Iris look over to me panicked as I clear my throat. Em looks out into the hallway and I sigh grabbing Jax's arm. "Might as well come with us" I sigh pulling them out into the hall.

Iris slams the door shut with a groan before leaning against her sister. "How the fuck did she know Mom!" Ivy punches the door, causing Iris to stumble over. "Ivy calm down!" Em shouts grabbing her hand.

"Who was that?" I sigh looking over to Jax hoping they might someone know that girl.  "She's a bitch a fucking bitch that's who she is" They growl looking around the hall to see if she might be there.

"Should we tell mom" Iris looks over to Ivy as they try to think.  "Next time we see her, just ask for her name- beat it out of her if you have to" I smirk getting evil giggles from the girls.  "She obviously knows our parents- or something" Em groans rubbing her face.

"Yeah that was weird" I mutter scratching my head. "She mentioned Weasley... was she talking about Mom... or Asher" Iris whispers staring at the ground with wide eyes. She looks up at me as I tug at my hair.

"Damn it- I hope not, he doesn't need anything else" I rub my eyes already irritated with the school year.  "You know your guy's lives are way more entertaining" Jax chuckles as we nod, not sure what to do with this new problem.

"Not always a good thing" Em rolls her eyes, while we all let a chorus of agreements, completely understanding where she was coming from. "And I have to be here all year... that sucks" Jax sulks leaning against the wall. "Not to change the subject, but that reminds me. You're moving in with us for the year..." I sigh the day getting even worse.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that- we're closer than Uncle Remus and Sirius- so yeah" Iris smiles wrapping her arm Em. "I call Atlas's bed!" They snicker as I slap them across the head.  "You get your own room idiot" I scoff at them.

"Damn we got so off-topic"

"Yeahhhh, seriously though what are we going to do?"
