chapter 49

year 4

Hallies pov.

"you can't tell me you just kissed in the rain and nothing else happened afterwards" said Lilac, she was on the verge of flipping the table, begging for the rest of my story.

"its because she'd rather not talk about smut" said Suki, whilst casually taking a sip of coffee.

"WHAT??!?" i panicked, i almost slapped a hand over the girls mouth.
"that's not even- well i- after-"
"clearly you're stuttering so it's true then?!" said Lilac, rising from her seat.
"what-"
"she's blushing" Suki pointed out.
i paused, thinking of an excuse.
"alright this conversation is over" i said, rising from my seat and grabbing my bag, running over to Karl.

"hey" i smiled, wrapping my arm around his.
"hi" he smiled, leaning to give me a kiss.
"what class are you headed to?"
"Transfiguration"
"really? me as well"

Clementines pov.

i was walking with Hermione, Ron and Ginny, they were looking for Harry.

to be quite honest, it was awkward when we made our way towards him and Neville.
probably because they were still upset with Harry and all.

"we've already been through this enough people- why don't you just go and do it yourself? Ughhh. what do you want me to say again?" whispered Hermione, Harry getting up to face us, he had a look of confusion on his face.

i just stood in silence with my arms crossed, giving Harry an unnoticeable wave.

Ron whispered into Hermiones ear.

i looked around, am i the only one who thinks it's kinda getting out of hand at this point, like, why can't Ron just hear Harry out, i'm sure he will need some support.

"Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid was looking for" said Hermione.
i'm not going to lie i understood absolutely none of that.

"is that right?" spat Harry, i rolled my eyes, can this being mad at each other nonsense just stop, or am i just being stupid?
"well.... what?"
"uhhh" Hermione rubbed the back of her neck and went back over to Ron, he whispered something and she walked back over to Harry.
can they just be mature and talk to each other, i feel like i'm the only one who finds them not talking to be insane.

"Dean was told by Parvati that.... please don't ask me to say it again.... Hagrids looking for you" finally, something we can all understand.

Hermione turned around to walk away with us until Harry began to speak.
"we you can tell Ronald-" before finishing, he was cut off, by Hermione turning around and shouting.
"i'm not an owl!" i jerked at her sudden shouting.

Hermione, Ginny and Ron began walking away, Ron eyeing Harry, i opened my mouth to speak but the three of them were out of sight so i just turned around and chased after them.

*

it was the next day, i was walking with Harry, he seemed off, i mean i understand probably from all of the badges people wore of Cedrics face and then something on it about 'Harry stinks' and clearly him and Ron, and then the Tournament.

"what's up with you, is it about Ron? because i swear i've been trying to talk to him-"
"no. no it's not that" Harry corrected me, we walked together.
he pulled me aside, his hand wrapped around my wrist.
"can i tell you something about the Tournament?" he looked around.
i nodded eagerly.
"im on my way to tell Cedric right now but.... i think the first task is Dragons"
"what?" i panicked a little.
"yeah..."
"Harry- so you... really, have to do this then..." i paused, staring down at my feet.
"i'm going to be as safe as possible.. don't worry" he said, grabbing both my hands into his, i nodded slowly, still not quite sure about everything.

"let's go" he took my hand in his as we squirmed our way to my brother, i heard people saying things about Harry that i chose to ignore, as did he.

we walked up to Cedric and his friends, he sat up looking between the both of us.
"can i have a word?" asked Harry.
i stared around at all of Cedrics friends, who were much taller then me, maybe even taller then Cedric.
"alright" muttered Cedric, turning around to his friends then walking along side us.
"Dragons. that's the first task. they've got one for each of us" Harry spoke quietly, i nodded.
"are you serious? and Fluer and Krum... so they?"
"yes"
"right... hey listen, about the badges-"
i right about just cringed, maybe i should walk away-
"i've asked them not to wear them."
"don't worry about it"

i looked up at Harry as Cedric walked off.
"do you seriously not care about them?" i asked.
"a little bit, i choose to ignore it"
"does my face help that?" i joked around, he chuckled, making me smile.

he looked up from me and he must've caught his eye on something because he started walking off, of course i caught up with him.

"you're a right foul git you know that?" Harry spat, he was talking to Ron and i was about ready to slap both of them into the skies.
"you think so?" Ron replied, just as sassy as Harry spoke.
"come on Harry" i mumbled, setting my hand on his shoulder.
"i know so"
"anything else?"
Harry stammered, i stood with my arms crossed, rolling my eyes at the two, Ron gave me wrong looking glances. probably because i still believed in Harry.
"yeah. stay away from me." he said, Ron pushed past him.
"fine"

Harry turned to watch as he walked away.
"you are ridiculous" i said.
"why's that"
"you two can't last just five minutes without going at each other's throats"
Harry didn't respond.

"why so tense Potter?" i heard, me and Harry both turning to look up into a tree, which Draco Malfoy sat in.
i can't go five seconds without drama. dear lord.

"my father and i have a bet you see. i don't think you're going to last ten minutes in this Tournament. he disagrees, he thinks you won't last five" Draco smirked, jumping down from the tree he was sat up on.
"i don't give a damn what you of your father thinks Malfoy. he's vile and cruel... and you're just pathetic." Harry spat, giving him a push back. i held in my laughter, seeing Draco get yelled at was just want i needed today, i saw him glance at me a few times because of my laughter.

Harry began walking away, making sure i was after him, but in the corner of my eye, i saw Draco mumble something and begin to pull out his wand, so i quickly took Harry's wrist and pulled him back.

but someone got to Draco before i could.
and Harry just went crashing against me whilst i tried to keep my balance.
i turned to see Draco, turned into a ferret, i put my hands over my mouth in shock.
Harry started smiling, i looked around to see Hallie and Sage, Hallie was laughing her arse off, i just had the widest eyes ever.

Professor Moody began playing around with his new ferret pet, making Draco go up and down up and down whilst in the air.

"Professor Moody, what are you doing?" said Mrs McGonnagall.
"teaching" he spoke.
"is that a student?!"
"technically it's a ferret"

he opened up one of Dracos friends trousers, i can't remember who at this point and stuck the ferret in, i closed my eyes because i didn't even want to know what was going on, i leaned my head on Harry's shoulder as i just listened to him laughing, other students also continued to laugh around me.

i looked again and Draco was back, he looked a mess. he turned to Professor Moody.
"my father will hear about this!" he shouted, beginning to run away as the Professor began chasing him.
"is that a threat!"

Draco ends up running past me and Harry in a blast, his friends behind him.
"i could tell you stories about your father that would even curl your greasy hair boy! And it doesn't end here!" Professor Moody shouted at Draco, not being able to chase after the boy.
"we never use Transfiguration as a punishment! surely Dumbledore told you that." shouted Mrs McGonnagall, she sounded like a mother, scolding her child.
"he might've mentioned it"
"well you will do well to remember it"
she began walking off and ushered off the students in front of her, i looked at Harry with wide eyes, a smile still on his face.

"Harry, come with me" Professor Moody said.
"just you, not your girlfriend" he said, looking up and down at me, i went to speak but Harry was already walking off with the Professor.
