Belladonna Le Faye

YOU DID WHAT?!

Everyone stands by the floo, each adult grabs a handful of Floo powder. The boys go to stand by the adult they'll travel with. Jack with his dad, Henry with his mom. Bella steps into the floo first. Throwing the powder down, she calls out her destination.

Rossi meets the group in his living room and they talk for a little while before Wil takes the two boys outside. Jj and Aaron sit down and discuss how it feels to be living around all this magic and not having any themselves. Rossi and Bella head for the kitchen.

Bella sets her broom down in a corner and washes her hands. Rossi begins by describing what the end result should look like and then they begin. Rossi tells her how to do a step then shows her then finally has her do it.

An hour later they have a dish that Rossi says looks and tastes perfect so they call the others to eat. After eating, Bella grabs her broom and heads outside.

She lays out cushioning charms all over the yard and then goes up. She practices her dives, balancing on her broom and a few of her more complicated tricks before simply dangling by her legs from her broom and summoning a ping pong ball. She spells it to act like a snitch as she works on righting her position on the broom. Each time she decides she is too slow and starts again.

She practices climbing one handed onto her broom until she has it under a minute. She smiles and does a loop. She comes to the ground to a round of applause. JJ and Aaron are white, the boys rush over to her asking if they can learn those moves. Wil and Rossi just smile as she lands safely on the ground. "So what position did you play on your team at Hogwarts?" Rossi asks.

"Seeker," she replies. "I did the balancing thing at my first game. And the Wronski Defensive Feint in my fourth year against a dragon and Krum. We tied in our Seeker head to head. Either way we both had fun."

"You've actually done some of those moves in games before." Mr. Hotchner asks.

"Yes, sir, and I didn't even really practice them beforehand, because I couldn't at home and there really wasn't a reason to until I ended up using them in a game."

"Well, you certainly scared those two," Wil says, indicating his wife and Hotchner. "And I thought there was nothing you could do to scare them. They literally face down serial killers for a living, you would think that there was nothing a sixteen year old witch could do to scare them. I didn't even consider your skills on a broom to possibly be scarier than facing down a serial killer, or a bomber, or even a psychotic killer."

"Well, you apparently stand corrected and now you owe me two galleons." Rossi says, with a smile. "Also what do you mean you used the Wronski Defensive Feint against a dragon in your fourth year? And Krum, as in Viktor Krum?"

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Aaron yells.

"In my fourth year at Hogwarts, we hosted the Triwizard Tournament and despite many 'precautions' taken to prevent sixth year and below students from entering, I was still called on as a champion, a fourth champion, but a champion all the same. And according to Dumbledor I had to participate or I would forfeit my magic and my life."

"But you were underage, you could have refused to participate based solely on that fact and have been perfectly fine."

"I learned that later, but I had already participated in the first event by that point so I was unable to withdraw, the first event was the dragons. And the entire school, except Hermione, the twins, my boyfriend, Krum, Delacour, and Cedric Diggory were against me at that point so I really didn't care if I died or not at that point. Krum challenged me to a Seeker Head to Head in an attempt to cheer me up. It worked quite well especially when the twins started a betting pool. They put the max bet at four sickles and got to keep one of them as the pool keepers they even swore a magical oath to not cheat the winners out of their rightful earnings. In the end, they actually got to keep half of the sickles since no one technically won the bet since no one thought Viktor Krum and I would tie. Viktor and I both laughed over that fact."

"Okay, I take it all this took place before the second task."

"Yes, Blaise and Hermoine helped me figure out the second task clue from the golden egg I had retrieved in the first task. I would be diving into the black lake to retrieve something I cherished. So, Hermoine researched tracking spells that I could use, while Blaise and I searched for a way for me to breathe underwater for an hour or more. The best way was for me to try an animagus transformation, so we started working on the potion, but just in case that plan didn't work, Blaise managed to get Professor Snape to give him some gilly weed, which would give me gills for an hour or two depending on how much I ate. I ended up not needing it as I was able to turn into a sea serpent, so I had to practice wandless tracking spells."

"And what did you end up having to find?" Aaron asks.

"Hermoine, my best friend."

"They put a girl at the bottom of a lake."

"No, they put four, unconscious girls, surrounded by mermaids in the bottom of a lake Hermoine; Fleur's little sister, Gabrielle; Cho Cheng, a Ravenclaw; and Hannah Abbott, a Hufflepuff." Bella says. "The third task was a maze that they grew just for the event on the quidditch pitch. It had all sorts of dangerous creatures and other deadly obstacles. Fleur was actually knocked unconscious during the first twenty minutes of me being in the maze and I got sent in first. Cedric and I found the cup first which should have taken us to the beginning of the maze as we touched it at the same time. Instead it took us to a graveyard, where he was killed with the killing curse and I was knocked unconscious and chained to one of the graves. My blood was used to revive Voldemort. No one believed me. Didn't even question me properly, just believed I killed Cedric. No Veritasium was used on me whatsoever."

"I knew that the British Ministry was stupid but that just takes the cake," Wil comments.

"They should really cancel that tournament," JJ says.

"Oh, they did, a couple hundred years ago, but they wanted better relations with Bulgaria and France so brought it back," Bella informs her.

"Anyway, thanks for letting the boys come over and fly for a while, and for dinner, but its time to get the boys to bed. Good night." Aaron says, picking his yawning son up. Bella summons the boys' brooms and hands Henry's to his dad, before nodding to Mr. Rossi in thanks as the wards are opened long enough for the two families to apparate out.
