Daughter of Regulus Black: HPF

Triwizard Tournament Announcement

Estelle's POV

Hi everyone I am Estelle Black daughter of the late Regulus Black. My dad died when I was only a year old. Mum said he died trying to take down the Dark Lord. But no one except her believes it. He was sixteen when he got his mark which his family approved of. My mother Fiona Longbottom didn't turn her back on him and lost many friends & family because of it.

She and dad were all each other had in their last year at Hogwarts. When she got pregnant, they got a house together and had the fidelius charm put on it with her brother my uncle Frank Longbottom as secret keeper. When he heard he was going to be an uncle. He started to talk to her again and convinced his mother to do the same. Dad then started to try find away to leave Voldemort's ranks. But first he wanted to find a way to kill Voldemort, which lead to his own death in 1979.

Leaving mum to raise me alone. My aunt and uncle did the best they could to be there for us. But Mum started to cut herself off from the magical world. In attempt to protect me. Two years later when we heard of Voldemort's defeat and what had happened to my uncle & aunt. She reached out to my grandma again and helped raised my cousin Neville Longbottom.

But enough about the past. Lets get back to the present. I'm a gryffindor sixth year and an unregistered animagus. I'm good friends with Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson and Patricia Stimpson. We'd been best friends since our first year at Hogwarts and share a dorm room. Poor Patricia though suffers from asthma. She fainted a lot last year on the lead up to our O. W. L exams because of the stress. Both Alicia and Angelina are on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. According to Angelina, Oliver Wood nominated her as the next captain of the team after he finished school last year.

Anyway over the summer at the Quidditch World Cup, there we an attack. Luckily no one died. But a lot had to be done to cover up what happened from the muggles. Angelina just told us that she didn't get the captain badge. "I wonder why you didn't get a badge, you were pretty much guaranteed to be captain this year" I state.

"No idea, I owled the twins and Katie. But they didn't get it. And according to the twins Harry didn't get it either" she states.

"That's strange" Patricia states.

"I'm sure it'll all be explained once we reach the school" I assure them.

"In the meantime, how were your summers?" Alicia asks us. We all tell each other about our summers. Mine was pretty boring. Just me, my mum, cousin and grandmother. We saw my Aunt and Uncle at St Mungo's once a week. I helped Neville with his summer homework and did my own. While tending to the green house mum has in our back yard. Like my cousin I love herebology. In fact it's one of the classes I choose to continue for my NEWT years. Along with Astronomy, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, DADA, Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. It'll be a lot of work, but it'll be worth it when I graduate.

"So are you actually going to be able to talk to Cedric this year?" Patricia asks me in a teasing tone. I blush. I've had a crush on Cedric for a little over a year.

"I bet three galleons she won't" Alicia says.

"I'll take that bet" Patricia tells her.

"Some friends you are" I grumble crossing my arms.

"Come on guys give her a break" Angelina tells them and I give her grateful smile. "Besides it's not her fault she loses the ability to speak and becomes clumsy in front of Cedric" she adds. I groan hiding behind my dark brown wavy hair as they giggle.

(Time skip)

We reached Hogsmeade station at six and boarded a carriage that took us to the school. We arrive and I go to get out of the carriage first when I see Cedric. I freeze and Patricia runs into me and I fall onto the ground. I wince at the sting of my hands. "Are you alright?" someone asks offering me a hand.

"Yeah, I'm..." I start to say grabbing their hand. I feel sparks and look up to lock eyes with Cedric. "You're fine... I mean I'm fine" I stutter. He gives me a warm smile helping me to my feet. He examines my hands.

"Allow me, episkey" he says tapping my hands with his wand. They heal. "There all better" he declares with a smile. I blush trying to avoid his eyes nodding my head in thanks. "Anyway Angelina, I wanted to ask when you were going to have tryouts? I want to start training my team as soon as possible. But can't until everyone else has had try outs" he states.

"No idea Cedric, I didn't get the captain badge and no one else on the team has either. We're hoping Dumbledore will tell us tonight why" she tells him.

"Strange, well in that case I'll see you around" he tells her before turning to me. "Be more careful Estelle" he tells me. Before leaving to go hang out with his friends.

"He knows your name" Alicia tells me with a teasing grin.

"He held my hand" I say looking at it.

"Sorry for bumping into you Estelle" Patricia tells me.

"Did you see how red she got when she realized it was him?" Alicia asks her giggling.

"Sure did, you so have to get over your shyness with him" Patricia tells me.

"They're right, it's been three years and you still can't talk to him" Angelina states.

"Our first talk was because I had ran into him and landed on top of him. While running from those Weasley twins in our third year. It was embracing" I remind them.

"But he was also the first one to tell you that it was ok to be related to Sirius Black last year. As it didn't change who you are. Reminding you that you aren't him or your father" Angelina adds.

"He was being a hufflepuff" I mumble as we enter the great hall.

"Then why are you always so tongue tied around him?" Alicia asks me. I don't answer. "Our point exactly" she says. We sit at our house table together. We had our feast and our new Defense Professor was introduced. It was the best auror in the world Alastor 'Mad-eye' Moody. Dumbledore also explained that there'd be no quidditch this year due to Hogwarts hosting the Triwizard Tournament this year. But only those who are seventeen by Halloween would be able to enter the tournament.

"Are you going to enter?" Patricia ask Angelina. As we sit in our dorm room on our beds. In our pjs. Patricia brushing her cat. While I read a my new Charms book with my owl on my shoulder.

"I think so, my birthday is the 24th of October. So I'll be old enough. But I want to do some research before then" she tells us.

"We'll help you" Alicia tells her. Patricia and I nod our heads in agreement. "Anyway we have school tomorrow, we had better go to bed" she states. We all agree and call it a night. Twila my owl left to hunt.
