The Chosen One

Chapter Thirty One

Genesis’s P.O.V
It was another day and I managed to make it to the train and sat with Harry, Ron and Hermione and I just sat there looking out of the window as we passed the trees and lakes, “what are you thinking about?” I heard Hermione ask me, “everything I guess.” I said to her before she continued to read the Paper before hearing the trolley coming up causing both Harry and Ron to get up to get something, “this is horrible. How can the Ministry not know who conjured it? Isn’t there any security?” Hermione said to us, “loads, according to dad. That’s what worried them so much, it happened right under their noses.” Ron said to us, “it’s hurting again isn’t it? Your scar.” Hermions asked Harry and I looked to see that he was scratching at his Scar, “I’m fine,” Harry said to her, “Harry. There’s more, you know you can’t keep it from us forever. What’s wrong?” I said to him, “she’s right Harry, you know Sirius will want to hear about this. What you saw at the World Cup and the Dream.” Hermione told him, “I agree, tell Sirius about it. Maybe it could get some weight off your chest or something.” I told him before looking out the window again as he wrote to Sirius about everything before he let Hedwig fly off with the letter and throughout the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts, I just continued to look out of the window thinking about everything and wondering why Death Eaters would randomly attack a campsite but at the same time, I knew Voldemort had to b involved somehow. After a while had passed, we managed to make it to the school only to find out the more people were arriving, “who could they be?” I wondered, “I don’t know, but my guess is that they might be other Wizarding schools.” Hermione said to me, “I wonder what they’re doing here to be honest, something must be going on.” I told her, “Probably but we won’t know unless Dumbledore says something about it during dinner.” Hermione said before we finally went to our Common Rooms and got changed into our Robes before making it to the Great Hall for dinner that night. After everyone was seated after the Sorting Ceremony, Dumbledore had finally spoken up to everyone, “now that 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 he stopped talking to whisper with Mr. Filch before Dumbledore continued with what he was talking about while Mr. Filch rushed back to the doors, “so, Hogwarts has 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 and 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 Maxine.” Dumbledore said before a group of girls made their way into the Great Hall with their Headmistress walking behind them. 

After they had made their entrance, everyone clapped and cheered for them before Dumbledore had gotten everyone’s attention again, “and now our friends from the North, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their Highmaster, Igor Karkaroff.” Dumbledore said before they also made and entrance as soon as they entered the Great Hall before seeing Viktor Krum not long after as he entered the Great Hall with the schools High Master behind him and after they had gotten acquainted, Dumbledore had eventually began the feast and everyone started eating as we began to talk amongst ourselves and I was talking with Hermione and Ginny the entire time before Dumbledore had gotten everyone’s attention as something was already sitting at the front of the room, “you’re 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. Bartemis Crouch.” Dumbledore said to everyone before something began to happen to the Ceiling and before it had gotten worse, someone had stopped it from doing so, “bloody hell, that’s Mad Eye Moody.” Ron said to us, “Alastor Moody, the Auror?” Hermione mentioned, “yeah that’s him.” I said to her, “Auror?” Dean questioned, “Dark Wizard catcher. Half the cells in Azkaban are filled thanks to him. He’s supposed to be mad as a hatter now these days.” Ron said to us as Alastor walked over to Dumbledore as the both of them shook hands before we noticed him drink something, “what’s that he’s drinking to you suppose?” Samus asked, “I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s Pumpkin Juice.” Harry said to him before Dumbledore and Mr. Crouch continued to talk about the Tournament, “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. This decision is final.” Mr. Crouch said before everyone started raising their voices above his before Dumbledore managed to do something about it, “SILENCE.” Dumbledore shouted and everyone had stopped talking before revealing something, “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 flames before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly, if chosen there’s no turning back. As of this moment, the TriWizard Tournament has begun.” Dumbledore said to everyone before eventually dismissing everyone from the Great Hall and we all made our way back to our Common Rooms for the rest of the night.

By the time we made it back to the Common Room for the night, I managed to get changed out of my Robes and into something a little more comfortable and when I was done, I walked back into the Common Room for a while and hung out with Hermione the entire time before I was lost in my thoughts again as I felt like something was off about everything, “what’s wrong Genesis?” I heard Hermione ask me and I sighed a little, “I can’t stop thinking about what happened that night at the World Cup. it all just feels off to me.” I told her and she sighed a little, “I don’t blame you Genesis, I’m sure you’re not the only one who feels that way.” she told me before I looked over at Harry, “you’re worried about him aren’t you?” she asked me and I nodded a little, “yeah, I think a little more than I thought I’d be.” I said to her, “I don’t know much about this stuff but what I do know is that you love him more than just a friend and that these feelings have grown a little more each year since we started coming here.” she said to me and I smiled a little, “sounds like you know more than you say you do.” I said and the both of us chuckled a little, “perhaps, but I’m sure that whatever happens, it will be alright in the end. Maybe not for long but you never know I suppose, The world is always full of surprises.” she told me before Harry and Ron walked up to us and sat down with us, “what are you two talking about?” Ron asked us, “girl stuff” I told him, “forget I asked.” he said and we chuckled a little as the four of us continued to hang out for a while before everyone started going to bed for the night and as soon as my head hit touched the Pillow, I soon fell asleep that night.

Harry’s P.O.V
After making it to the Common Room for the night and getting changed out of Robes, we were all just doing our own thing before I caught myself staring at Genesis before Ron brought me out of my thought’s, “Harry, are you alright? What’s gotten you staring at Genesis for?” He asked me and I thought about what to say before finally telling him, “I don’t know how to explain it but I think I have feelings for Genesis.” I told him, “really Genesis Snape? Imagine what her dad will say if he ever found out about that. He’d murder you if you think about it.” Ron said to me, “I know, that’s why I’m not planning on telling her anytime soon.” I told him and he nodded a little, “I wonder what they’re talking about.” Ron said as I noticed that he was looking at Hermione and Genesis as the both of them are talking to each other, “let’s go and find out then” I suggested before Ron and I walked over to them, “what are you two talking about?” Ron asked them, “girl stuff” Genesis said to him, “forget I asked” he said to her before the both of us sat down with the and continued to talk and hang out before we noticed everyone had started going to their Dorms for the night and we had done the same and before I did, I spoke up to Genesis, “goodnight Genesis.” I said to her, causing her to stop and turn around and smiled a little, “goodnight Harry.” she said before going to her Dorm and I had soon done the same and once I had gotten into bed for the night, I just laid there thinking to myself about everything before I finally fell asleep for the night.
