Stare of the Basilisk King.

Chapter 7: New Champion

Great Hall, Breakfast)

Harry is currently at his Gryffindor table eating his french toast as Ron was currently stuffing his face as always while Hermione had finally arrived as Harry looked up at her seeing her sit across him as she eyed him with a semi-glare. He shifted his gaze from her eating the rest of his french toast as she spoke in a stern tone that would have made Professor McGonagall proud.

"Where have you been Harry?" She spoke staring right at him knowing exactly where he's been as she felt her jealousy rise knowing he's been hanging around with that Veela woman Fleur Delacour.

Harry had the courage to look at her and he had to tread carefully he couldn't lie to her, she was his best friend and was always at his side but he couldn't tell her what he discovered last night yet as he noticed Ron was also looking at him while the Weasley boy was chewing on his bacon waiting on Harry to answer her, he also wanted to know where his mate ran off too for some Reason ron felt like Harry went to visit that pretty girl who spoke to him.

"After finishing up my classes i went to go see Fleur" He told the truth as he saw her narrow her eyes as Ron just gave him a glare, Harry chose not to look at either of them

"I figured as much, but i have a feeling there's more to what's he's hiding" Hermione thought staring at him as she noticed a change in his green eyes his pupils were slit like.

"Harry what's wrong with your eyes?" She spoke causing him to look up as Ron stopped eating and noticed Harry's eyes too.

"Mate what's wrong with your eyes? did you drink a potion or something?" Ron said looking directly at Harry's eyes.

"Don't panic..." Harry reminded himself as he answered.

"I probably did sip on some potion that did change my eyes a bit" He lied hoping they would buy it.

Ron just shrugged and continued eating but Hermione didn't look convinced she didn't buy it as she eyed him closely.

"Perhaps you should go see Madam Pomfrey to get checked out" Hermione said as she started eating her breakfast.

Harry froze hearing her suggestion and just stayed silent.

"Harry?" She spoke in concern seeing him spaced out.

"I'll see about it, after all I'm fine i can see a whole lot better with my new eyes" He protested as he finished eating his french toast and the rest of his orange juice as he got up from his seat.

"Well I'll see you guys later I'll probably be at the common room before going to class" Spoke Harry as he walked off seeing Ron nod as he spoke

"Don't be late! we have to see who enters the tournament!" Ron said seeing Harry nod and walked off, Missing Hermione's expression who had her attention focused on Harry, Ron turned to her noticing her look.

"What's wrong mione?" He asked seeing her stare at Harry.

"Nothing, it's just that there is something odd about Harry and it's bothering me" She said seeing him frown

"Odd how? i mean sure he has avoided us yesterday and has been acting a bit strange over the summer and at the world quidditch cup" Ron said in a matter of fact tone.

"True, but i feel as if Harry is hiding something from us.. i just know he's keeping something from us" She spoke softly

"Mainly me" She added mentally in thought with a frown.

"Well whatever it is I'm sure he'll tell us" Ron said waving it off.

"Maybe your right Ron, Maybe..." She trailed off Hoping her red headed friend was right.
