Forbidden Lover

Chapter Thirty: Goblet of Fire

Artemis’s P.O.V
It was the next day and it was the day of the Quidditch World Cup and once I did and got ready for the day, I made sure I had everything again before I had gone downstairs to see everyone was already down there and the four of us eventually started eating Breakfast before we got ready to leave and said goodbye to mother as we walked out the door. The three of us managed to get to the Quidditch World Cup and met up with the Minister, “ah, Mr. Malfoy, how good it is to see you. And these two must be your children.” the Minister said to father, “yes, this is Draco and Artemis.” father told him and we both shook his hand, “nice to meet you both.” he said and we eventually walked into a large tent and got settled in and after a while, we finally left for the stadium as we walked in and to our spot in the Minister’s Box before we stopped walking and noticed the Weasley’s along with Hermione and Harry as we overheard what Ron had said to his father, “well, put it this way, if it rains, you’ll be the first to know” Father said to him and I just looked down not knowing what to do, “father, Artemis and I are in the Minister’s Box by personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself.” Draco told them before father shoved his cane to Draco’s chest, “don’t boast Draco. There’s no need with these people.” father said and before they were about to leave, he stopped Harry, “do enjoy yourself, won’t you? While you can” father said to them and I furrowed my brows a little confused at what he meant and I secretly apologized to them before following father and Draco before we eventually made it to the Minister’s Box and sat down and waited and eventually, the Ireland team flew in and I clapped for a short while before seeing the Bulagrian team fly in as well and eventually noticed Krum, “that’s Viktor Krum. I heard that he’s one of the best Seeker’s in the world.” I said to Draco as we clapped for the Bulgarian team before the Minister finally spoke up, “good evening. As Minister for Magic, it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. Let the match begin.” the Minister said and the game soon started.  

After the game was over, everyone had gone back to their tents and not long after we had gotten back to ours Father had brought Draco and I aside to talk in private, “both of you listen to me very carefully. If anything happens here tonight, I want you both to Apparate out of here and go home. I will meet you both there later. Do you understand?” father told us and I just furrowed my brows, “what are you on about father? I don’t understand.” I told him, “just do as you’re told alright and you stay close to your brother no matter what and get home. No more questions.” he told me and I just nodded, “yes father.” I managed to say before he looked at Draco and talked to him for a minute or so before he eventually let the tent and both Draco and I just looked at each other before hearing people screaming and the Minister and a few others had left as well to see what was going on, “remember what father said?” he asked and I just nodded before he held onto my arm after we grabbed our things and Apparated back home only to be in the living room before noticing mother, “you’re back early. Where’s your father?” she asked us as she looked away from her book and we explained what happened as we told her that Father had told us to leave after he had left after hearing people screaming from outside the tent, “are you both alright? Are you hurt?” she asked as she checked us, “mother, we’re fine. Father told us to leave if anything happened and that’s what we did.” Draco told her as she let out a sigh before kissing both of our cheeks, “I know son. But I just wanted to make sure. You’d do the same if you were in my position.” she said to Draco and I chuckled a bit as she sat back down and we soon heard someone else Apparate and saw that it was father and mother soon rushed over to him to make sure that he was alright, “what happened dear. Artemis and Draco told me they had to leave.” mother asked him before he looked at us, “why don’t you both go to your rooms. I want to talk to your mother in private.” he said and we both nodded before walking away and eventually walked into his room, “what do you think is happening. Whatever happened out there wasn’t a coincidence.” I said to Draco as he was thinking about it, “I don’t know but whatever it was, I think father might have something to do with it.” Draco told me and it made sense to me, “now that you think about it, he did sound kind of eager about having us leave too.” I told him and he sighed, “what do you think is happening?” I asked wondering, “I don’t know, but whatever it is, it isn’t good.” he said and I agreed and we continued talking about it for a while.

Later on, we eventually ate a late dinner together as the room was silent the entire time and I didn’t eat much of my dinner. All I was thinking about was what had happened at the Quidditch World Cup earlier tonight as I couldn’t get it off my mind, “darling, are you alright? You’ve barely eaten.” mother asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts as I let out a sigh, “I’m fine. Just thinking.” I told her by putting down my fork, “why don’t you go and get washed up then, you look tired as well.” she told me and I nodded before getting up and leaving the room and I eventually made it to my room and grabbed something to change into before going to the bathroom to take a shower. By the time I was done and got changed into my pajamas for the night, I went back to my room and just let out a sigh as I sat down on the bed before I decided to go outside and walked into the garden and walked around smelling some of the flowers before seeing someone and noticed that it was Draco as he walked closer, “what’s wrong?” he asked me and I sighed, “worried.” I told him as we walked around, “I don’t blame you. Father sounded worried earlier before we left to come home.” he told me, “what do you think him and mother were talking about?” I asked him, “I don’t know. But whatever it was, it was probably about earlier or something.” he told me as we sat down, “I Guess you’re right. The Ministry is probably doing something about it, I bet.” I mentioned to him, “yeah, most likely.” he said before I started to get a little cold, “we should probably head back inside.” I said to him, “yeah I guess. Let’s go.” he said and we both made it inside for the night and decided to go to bed for the night and once I did, I went right to sleep.
