After a while of the tournament I lose track of time. I thought maybe it'd be Halloween. But I was wrong.
I see an owl coming. I didn't recognise the owl so I thought It was flying to somewhere else but it landed on my blanket. I took the note off the owl and gave him a bit of bread. He flew off as I opened the letter.
Dear Bluebell
I found out about you being in the competition.
Hope you're all right.
Thought I'd get you a Christmas gift that'll help you survive.
Love your favourite grandmother Molly

Bluebell was my nickname I had gained as a child. I opened the package. The first thing I found was a sneakoscope with an installed hex Shooter that would hex anybody who tried to hex me. I also found a water bottle with a spell on it to refill when I was finished. There was the same on a plate with sandwiches that had the spell to refill. I was so grateful to my grandmother at that second. I decided to send her a thank you letter.

For Christmas I also got food from Lysander and loads of others. Christmas presents didn't depend on grades. I found out that when the challenge was over there'd be an end of year ball. I'd need to have a visit to Hogsmade when the competition was over.

I walked through the forest looking for people to get out. "WHOS THERE?!" I heard someone scream. I get my Sneakoscope ready. I walk through the bushes and jump out. I see Scorpious and Rose. "STUPEFY!" I yell without realising who it was. The spell hit Scorpious. He falls. I send up red sparks. I watch as Mcgonnagal takes Scorpious inside.

Rose grins. "Glad it wasn't me" she says. "Wanna work together?" I ask. She nods. "Of course" she answers. We begin to work together with my sneakoscope to take people out of the competition. Eventually we were told we'd have to hex eachother. Everyone else were out.

One night I lay in the tent I had gotten from Scorpious when I heard a noise. I knew it was only me and Rose so I stayed. "STU!" I heard a voice start to shout. "STUPEFY!" My hex shooter shouted. I heard a scream then a crash. It was Rose. She wanted the 2000 galleons for herself. I couldn't blame her. That was part of the competition after all.

I walked inside when I was told the prize giving was starting. As I walked everyone started to clap. "May I introduce our third place winner, winning 500 galleons Scorpious Malfoy!" Shouts Mcgonnagal. Scorpious looks surprised as he walks up to the stage. "Can our second place winner grace us with their presence on the stage, may I introduce Rose Granger Weasley who'll be getting 1,000 galleons.". The clapping starts. Rose looks happy. Before she walks onto the stage she gives me a thumbs up sign. In that moment I know everything is ok. When Rose gets her 1000 galleons she stands beside a now excited Scorpious. "May I welcome to stage our winner, first place winner that'll be winning 2,000 galleons Bellatrix Narcissa Minerva Malfoy!" Mcgonnagal announces wanting to get her name into the name so people would know I had her name in my name. I walk up to stage to stand beside my brother and friend.

After the cheering stops Mcgonnagal hands me my 2,000 galleons. I accept it as the cheering starts again. "I'd like to give the losers a participant award of 250 galleons each!" Mcgonnagal calls. Everyone who took part comes onto the stage. "I have another important announcement. I'm going to throw a ball. First years May not enter unless they find a date in second year or over. For once second years will be allowed into Hogsmade to get dresses. This is only one time. Thank you" Mcgonnagal finishes.

I walk out of the great hall wondering what outfit I'll be wearing for the Ball. I hoped I'd have a date. At least with maybe Albus or James as friends.
