Grayson- 8 months

Atlas's POV

"Baby please be careful, your Dad and I are going to be in the stadium with your siblings... I love you so much!" Papa whispers kissing my cheek. Dad presses his forehead against mine closing his eyes. "I'll kill you if you get hurt" he chuckles kissing the same cheek.

As soon as he parts, my siblings crowd me in a hug. "Be careful idiot" Em smiles patting my head. "Please stay safe" Seren adds squeezing me extra tight. "You got this Atlas! You're the best at everything!!! Don't tell Iris I said that..." Lyra smiles shoving her head into my stomach.

"Go Atwas! You win!" Emerson smiles up at me refusing to let go of my leg. I bend down to ruffle his hair, Emerald having to drag him away from me. Lastly, I go back over to Dad kissing Gray on the head.

Not even a second later I'm attacked by the smaller body of my boyfriend. "Be safe!" He demands looking up to me with wide teary eyes. "I promise" I whisper rubbing my thumb across his cheek. "All contestants needed in the tent now!" I look frantically around my family. Iris was hugging her family bye as I gave Ash a quick kiss. "I love you all so much, I'll see you soon!" I shout as I run off Iris right behind me. "Why did that feel like a goodbye" She sighs as I stay silent.

I stood close to Iris the tent filled with only competitors and the headmasters.  Iris gripping onto my hand as we waited anxiously. Our families were here all of them waiting to watch us excel or fail miserably.

"The first event you will be facing your worst fears all while fighting the shadow creatures of the forbidden forest. You must survive 10 minutes, without getting knocked out or... just survive 10 minutes" Mimi trails off as we all look at each other anxiously.

I don't know even know what I'm scared of! "I don't know what I'm scared of?!" I turn to Iris, Lev joining our conversation. "Well, maybe you'll get lucky and just have to fight whatever we're fighting" Lev smirks as I shrug my shoulders.  "That would be great" I nod hoping that was the case.

"Everybody draw a number!" Mimi raises her hand for our attention once again. Hagrid's girlfriend holding the bag. I should really learn her name, but I feel like it would be weird to ask.  I stood lined up behind the rest of the kids.

Getting closer and closer to the bag my nerves spiked as I bit at my lip nervously.  Finally, it was my turn. I reached down and into the bag pulling out a folded piece of paper. I don't want to open it. "Well? Open it boy" the Durmstrang headmaster called and I did as he said.  "4th," I told them before walking back to our little group.

"Granger doesn't look too good" Iris nods over to her. I took a peak and the poor girl seemed to be holding back a wave of emotions.  "Tres Rawlings you're up first!"

The boy takes a deep breath before stepping through the tent flap the crowd erupting into cheers. The noises they made told us whether things were going well... or the opposite.

1. Tres Rawlings- Fear of the dark... and what's in it

2. Kiara Granger- Fear of needles/pointed objects

3. Lev Kuzmin- Fear of Burning alive

4. Atlas Malfoy- ???

"My turn" I sigh getting one last hug from Iris. I step out, immediately it became brighter. The crowd went wild as I focused on the area in the arena in front of me. It had been morphed into a huge sort of obstacle course in a way.

I took my wand out ready for whatever came. "10 minutes! Time starts now!" The announcer shouts as I wait. Dark misty forms appear and I assume they were my attackers because they didn't scare me. "Flipendo!" I mutter sending one far away from me.
