Book Two: My Forever Love

Chapter Eleven

Rosalie’s P.O.V
It was finally the day we left for Hogwarts and I still continued to work there and both Edeline and I had gotten on the train and sat with Harry, Ron and Hermione and the entire time I looked out of the window thinking to myself about everything that had happened at the Quidditch World Cup and I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt someone nudge me and I looked to see that I was Harry and before he could speak, he started rubbing his scar, “what’s wrong? Is it your scar?” I asked him, and he nodded, “I’m fine, it was just a light sting.” He said before Hermione spoke up, “this is horrible. How can the Ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn’t there any security?” Hermione questioned, “loads, according to dad. That’s what worried them so much. It happened right under their noses.” Ron mentioned, “they could have looked like everyone else before the game ended and they could have decided to meet up before doing what they did that night.” Edeline said before I noticed that Harry was rubbing his scar again, “it’s hurting again isn’t it? Your scar.” Hermione asked Harry, “I’m fine.” he said to her, “oh please, even your parents wouldn’t believe that. Ever since what happened it’s been bothering you hasn’t it?” I said to him and he sighed a little before Hermione spoke up again, “you know Sirius will want to hear about this what you saw at the World Cup and the dream.” she told him, “wait, what dream?” I asked them, “it’s nothing, really.” Harry said, “you know I’m going to make you tell me.” I said to him, “I’ve been having the same dream for a while now and I was in a house and walked up to a room where I saw Peter Pettigrew and a man I didn’t recognise and I believe they were talking to You-Know-Who.” he said and I sighed a little, “to be honest, I think it’s a warning” Edeline suggested, “I agree with her, it could be a warning.” I said to him before he decided to write to Sirius about everything that had happened.

After a while longer, we managed to make it to Hogwarts and I met up with the rest of the teachers as we talked about what was going to happen this year before the students finally started filling the room and sat down with their houses and after the Sorting Ceremony was over, Dumbledore spoke to the students like he always did, “well, now we’re all settled in and sorted, I’d like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year, but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen-” Dumbledore said before Mr. Filch began to speak with him. After a few moments had passed, Dumbledore began to speak again, “so Hogwarts had been chosen to host a legendary event, the TriWizard Tournament. Now for those of you who do not know, the TriWizard Tournament brings together three schools  for a series of magical contests. From each school, a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear, if chosen, you stand alone. And trust me when I say, these contests are not for the faint hearted. But more of that later, for now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their Headmistress, Madam Maxime.” Dumbledore said before a group of girls walked in along with their Headmistress not far behind them. After they were introduced, everyone clapped before they stood off to the side before Dumbledore spoke up again, “and now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their High Master, Igor Karkaroff.” Dumbledore said before a group of young boys walked into the Great Hall as they had made an entrance and after that, the two schools had managed to sit down before Dumbledore had started the feast and everyone began to eat and I was sitting next to Madame Maxime and Dumbledore and both Madam Maxime and I were talking for a while before she looked at Dumbledore, “Professor Dumbly-dorr, my horses have traveled a long way, they will need attending to.” she said to him, “don’t worry Madam Maxime, our gamekeeper Hagrid, is more than capable of seeing them and I am sure that our assistant will be more than happy to help him” Dumbledore told her, “but you know, Monsieur Hagrid, hey drink only single malt whiskey.” she mentioned before hearing Professor Flitwick panic a little and I looked to see that he had a fork in his hand.

After a while longer, some people had set something down for everyone to see before Dumbledore had spoken up again, “your attention please. I’d like to say a few words. Eternal Glory. That is what awaits the student who wins the TriWizard Tournament. But to do this, that student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. For this reason, the Ministry has seen fit to impose a new rule. To explain all of this, we have the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Mr. Bartemius Crouch.” Dumbledore said to everyone before something happened with the Ceiling and someone managed to stop it from getting any worse only to see that it was a man and everyone had gone silent as Dumbledore hugged the man before Barty had walked to the front, “after due consideration, the Ministry has concluded that, for their own safety, no student under the age of 17 shall be allowed to put forth their name for the TriWizard Tournament.” he began to say before everyone started to speak up about it before Dumbledore managed to get them to quiet down, “SILENCE.” he shouted at them before he revealed the Goblet of Fire, “The Goblet of Fire. Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament, need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly. If chosen, there’s no turning back. As from this moment, the TriWizard Tournament has begun.” he said to everyone before having them all head back to their Common Rooms for the rest of the night and I had decided to go for a walk and eventually ended up at the Astronomy Tower to think about it for a while as I was glad that neither Harry nor Edeline would have to enter in hopes that nothing bad will happen as I began to have a weird feeling about that guy that came in earlier during dinner after a while, I was brought out of my thoughts when I noticed someone sit down next to me and I looked to see that it was Edeline and I smiled a little, “how are you doing darling?” I asked her, “good. What were you thinking about?” she asked and I sighed a little, “just wondering what the Tournament is going to be like amongst other things.” I said to her, “I’m glad I don’t have to put my name in to be honest. Fred and George are upset about it though” she said and the both of us chuckled a little and after a while long of talking, the both of us left the Astronomy Tower and I made sure Edeline had made it back to the Common Room before I made my way back to my room.

By the time I made it back to my room for the night and once I made it inside and I soon let out a sigh as I sat on the bed and began to wish that Remus was still here teaching and I decided to write to him about what we had found out earlier this evening and and I managed to do so before sending it off with my owl and once I had done so, I hard a knock on the door and I opened it to see that it was Harry and I let him inside, “what’s wrong Harry? Is everything alright?” I asked him, “I’m fine, it’s just my scar keeps bothering me, I think something is wrong.” he told me and I sighed a little not knowing what to do or say about it, “well I don’t know what to say about your scar but I think you’re right about what you said though. I’ve started getting a bad feeling about that Ex-Auror that Dumbledore had brought.” I mentioned to him, “I can see your point. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right considering what we’ve gone through here for the last four years.” he said and I smiled a little, “other than that. Did Sirius write back to you yet?” I asked him and he shook his head, “no, not yet.” he said, “well, considering what happened last year, it might take him a little while before he does get back to you alright.” I told him and he nodded and we continued to talk for a while before I noticed what time it was before I made sure he had gotten back to the Gryffindor Common Room for the night, “sleep well alright. Or at least try to.” I told him and he nodded, “I’ll try.” he said and I smiled a little, “everything will be alright, ok. I’ll make sure of it and so will the others.” I told him before he hugged me and I hugged him back, “goodnight Harry.” I said to him after the hug, “goodnight.” he said before he walked into the Common Room and I let out another sigh before heading back to my room for the night thinking about everything before heading to bed for the night.
