To The Moon And Back

Chapter 10

"Apparently Dumbledore has some announcement he needs to make?" I muttered while sitting back down in my seat after speaking with my godfather.

"Good evening, students. I hope you are all well. Now, I have an announcement to make." He said, smiling at us all. "Hogwarts has been chosen to take part in the Triwizard Tournaments this year! We are very lucky to be chosen for this. One of the prizes is eternal glory. Think of everything you can do with that." He winked.

"Unfortunately, there is an age restriction. Only 18 year olds are able to participate in this tournament." He continued.

Thank Merlin I was only 17 yet.

The twins got up, shouting, "BOOO! No fair!"

I laughed at them, "Why do you guys want to participate so bad? Isn't it supposed to be really dangerous?"

"That's the fun part, Sage." Fred winked.

He called me Sage. In front of everyone.

Hermione picked up on this sudden change and raised her brow at me. I shrugged and placed my attention back onto Dumbledore.

"A few other schools have also been chosen to participate. We have Beauxbatons Academy Of Magic and Durmstrang."

"Sage, isn't that your old school?" Ron asked.

"Yes..." I replied with, sounding surprised. I was finally going to see everyone for the first time since I had left. I couldn't tell if I was nervous or excited. Or maybe even both.

"Filch! If you can let our guests in now." Dumbledore exclaimed.

The doors had opened and girls dressed in all blue gowns and hats entered the room looking so sophisticated. They did a small run down the great hall towards the front, stopping at least twice so we could call get a good look at them.

"Bloody Hell" Ron said, looking at the girls walking past us. It was clear his eyes were fixated on their asses.

They were followed by their headmaster, Madame Maxine. A bloody tall woman, if I might add. I'd say she's taller than Hagrid.

"Now that's one big woman." I snorted, earning a laugh from Harry and the twins.

"Now join me in welcoming the lovely students from Durmstrang," Dumbledore's voice boomed as the doors had opened once more.

I stood up from my seat, trying to get a better look to see if I can see any of my old friends. The Durmstrang boys entered and I saw my old headmaster Karkaroff leading them in. He never really liked me, knowing I had relations to Dumbledore and Hogwarts he always thought I'd be better off coming here in the first place. As soon as he found out my father was in Azkaban he had no issue transferring me over to Hogwarts.

The boys parted and I saw my old friend, Viktor Krum enter the room. He winked at me and continued his act with fire, making his way to the front. Behind the boys, there were a few girls from the school as well but knowing Karkaroff, he wanted this to be a boys thing only. Sexist bastard.

"Now we have all been made familiar with the school students, let us eat!" Dumbledore snapped his fingers and a huge feast appeared.

I couldn't bring myself to sit down and neither could Krum. He jogged over to the table and I met him halfway.

"Sage!" He exclaimed while pulling me into a hug, picking me up from the ground a little. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and squealed. Sometimes I think he forgets how strong he really is.

"Why didn't you OWL me to tell me you're coming? I would've liked to know!" I scowled, punching him.

"Come on, little dove. That must've meant the surprise would've been ruined." He falsely poured while ruffling up my hair. Little dove was a name he started to call me once I appeared in his dream one night holding a white dove.

He inched closer to my ear to whisper, "there's one more surprise." He moved to the side and there I saw my old best friends standing in front of me with their arms wide open.

Thalia Locksmith and Jude Wayne. We were all inseparable, including Vik too of course. The four of us always found our way into trouble. However, we got away with quite a lot actually just because Vik was Karkaroff's more admired student.

"Oh my Merlin! It's really you guys!" I shouted. I ran up to them, hugging them so tight wrapping my arms around their necks.

"I cant believe Thalia was able to keep this a secret for so long. I was so sure she'd break but I had to supervise the bitch to make sure she didn't OWL you without us knowing." Jude mocked.

"I'm gonna kill you all, I swear." I pointed my finger at them.

Suddenly, I heard dishes clattering as I saw Fred stand up instantly. He kept his eyes on Jude's arm that was around my waist and turned to storm out. I looked at George, confused until he secretly pointed at Jude's hand on my waist, without having the others see.

My mouth turned into an "o" shape and I watched George shrug, going after his twin.

"What was that all about?" Thalia asked. Her eyes staring directly into mine. I knew she realised something was going on so I widened my eyes, practically begging her not to say anything else.

"Whatever! Let me introduce you guys to my friends." I said, dragging them all to where Harry, Ron and Hermione were sat.

"You made friends? That's hard to believe, little dove." Vik laughed at me, pulling my cheek.

"Shut up." I muttered. "Here, this is Hermione, Ron, and Harry. Or as I like to call them, the golden trio." I smirked.

The trio smiled and waved and I noticed Hermione blushing as Viktor winked at her, extending his arm out for her to place her hand in as he pressed a gentle kiss on it. I looked to Jude and Thalia, smiling like a lunatic because this is always what he did when he fancied someone.

Then, I hear the clicks of heels coming towards us. Fuck my life. Selena. She practically ran up to where we were stood to be eagerly seen by Vik.

"I'm Selena Paul. Enchantè," she whispered, trying to be seductive. If you want my opinion, she looked as though she was constipated and trying to squeeze her shit out. She extended her hand for Vik to kiss but he simply turned around to me, raising his eyebrows.

"We don't like her." I said, smirking at her to see her face completely drop. Vik just nodded his head and turned his back to her, making her pout like a stupid little child who wasn't allowed to stay up past 8pm. I laughed at her as I watched her storm back to her table, being comforted by her friends who were all now death staring me.

"Why don't we like her?" Thalia asked.

"The bitch tried to kill me." I shrugged. "She failed,
obviously." I laughed.

"Fucking hell, what else have we missed out on?" Jude asked, propping his head on his hands, ready to listen to my crazy stories.

"Where shall I start?"
