A Tale of Krum

XII. First Task

~

The next day everyone was bright up and early. Thrilled for the start of the tournament.

Mattheo and I had been sitting on the window sills. Well he was. I stood there beside him as we watched everyone walk by.

He kept talking about secrets and stories about any random that walked by. You may think he's not one to gossip but oh dear merlin.

"You know Cedric has taken interest upon you. And not in a friendly way." Mattheo adds.

I scoff.

"I dare he to show his face to me after treating harry like he did yesterday.

Surely you didn't possess any of those badges too, Mattheo ?" I was hoping he wouldn't be added to a list of people I would have to despise.

"Of course not. I'm not a follower Rune. I don't do something unless its what I want. I'm not going to join some silly little trend made by mudbloods." He states.

"Muggles. If you're going to mention them Mattheo atleast say muggles. " I scold. He rolls his eyes.

I was relieved to hear he had not participated in taunting harry. It was the last thing he needed before the first task.

The badges had been taken away by the professors.

"I heard that the first task involved Dragons. I want to see some serious damage or else I'll be disappointed." Mattheo adds.

"Harry's really got it going in life huh" I comment.

"Speaking of Potter." Mattheo nods his chin up, showing me the direction of where harry was.

It seemed that him and his friend Ron are having a rough time at the moment.

Mattheo nudges me to look at Draco up in the tree. His eyes locked onto harry.

It was like mattheo already knows the course of events bound to happen.

"Why so tense Potter? My father and I have a bet you see. I don't think you're gonna last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you won't last five."

After draco had jumped down the oak tree, his words spat out directly at harry.

Mattheo had placed a hold onto my wrist. Knowing I'd probably go and let myself get caught in the mess.

"I don't give a damn about what you or your father thinks Malfoy. Hes vile and cruel, and you're just pathetic." Harry spits out.

Proceeding to walk away.

I send him a soft pitiful smile. But my eye widens as soon as I see Draco casting out his wand.

Out of the blue the apparently new professor, the one with the weird eye. Had come to Harry's rescue.

Draco vanishing, a ferret jumping out of his uniform.

An intrusive thought of my pet ferret. Still going through some paperwork to be allowed to sent here.

"Shit Mcgonagalls here. I have detention with her. Let's go"

Mattheo drags me out of the area.

While running through the hallway, familiar figures show up and I slow down. Dragging mattheo back.

"What is it?"

When I realized my hand had been in Mattheos I quickly retract it. My partner still confused as to my actions.

Before I had processed an escape plan. Romeir had already appeared right in front of me. Along with Ivory and Hollow.

"Romeir."
