"So take the chance you have and do it because how it ends is up to fate, and fate only. What happens, happens, so why worry? Live your life, consequences disregarded, because either way something is going to happen, so enjoy while you can."

"This Tri-Wizard Tournament? Seems a bit sketchy, don't you think?" said Arundhati, staggering when a group of Gryffindors shoved passed them to get to their dorms. "Rude." she huffed.

Aurora shook her head. "Honestly, Aru, it doesn't seem like a bad idea all in all. It seems like fun. Plus, I heard there's going to be a ball towards Christmas." hearing that, Arundhati's eyes widened. "A ball?" she questioned. "A ball." Aurora confirmed.

Upon hearing that, Harry turned towards the pair of Ravenclaws and tapped one of them on their shoulder. As they turned around, he saw that it was Arundhati and Aurora.

"What ball?" he asked.

"Aurea heard that there's going to be a ball around Christmas because of this tournament thingy."

He turned towards Aurora. "You sure, Belle?" she nodded in response. "Positive."

A small smile broke out on his face and Aurora decided to tease him. "You can ask out that pretty little Ravenclaw, what's her name again? Oh yeah, Raven." she giggled as his whole face flushed pink.

Arundhati gaped. "Raven? As in Raven Scamander?" Aurora nodded, "The very one"

"Ooooh! Golden Boy crushing on Little Miss Perfect. What a perfect match!" they pretended to sigh before they burst out laughing and waving goodbye to a red-faced, stammering Harry.

They made their way into their dorms, took quick showers, got into bed, and fell into dreamless sleep.

It was the end of October and everyone was anticipating the start of the tournament. They were all huddled, talking about who was going to enter, who they wanted to win and whatnot.

Aurora checked her watch and impatiently tapped her foot, considering to just go on without him. Just before she was about to turn into the Owlery, a male voice sounded through the corridor. "Wait! I'm here, I'm here!"

Harry stopped and placed his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Sorry, I slept in." he looked up through his eyelashes with a sheepish look in his eyes.

"Again? You really need to start sleeping earlier." she shook her head disapprovingly and grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him into the Owlery.

Harry sighed in relief as he was spared one of her lectures today, but then suddenly realized what she was doing. His glasses almost flew off as he was pulled into the room. His face slightly heated up when he looked at their interlocked hands. What are you doing? Stop it, Harry.

He slightly shook his head, causing Aurora to turn around. "Are you alright?" she said, warily eyeing the light pink flush of his cheeks. "Don't tell me your still sick, you said you were all better!" She put her hand on his forehead. She pulled away, confused.

"You're all fine, though." she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"It- it's nothing. Just a bit hot in here." He quickly took the letter from her hand and tied it to Hedwig and watched her fly away, trying to get rid of the heat from his face. He turned and pulled Aurora along. "Let's hurry, breakfast is almost over."

"Mione what's the time." Hermione checks her watch and jumps up, sending the books on her lap to ground. Quickly picking them up, she said "Merlin's beard! It starts in five minutes. Come on!" she hurried towards the portrait before turning back around to drag Ron out. "Come on, Ronald! We're gonna be late!" They left the portrait with Ron complaining about her constant nagging.

Waiting for Harry, Aurora tidied up Hermione's books, knowing she would thank her later. They existed and headed towards the Great Hall
