"Oh wow," Reyna snorts as she reads Rita Skeeter's article.
Herself, Harry and George were the only occupants of the Gryffindor Common Room. The clock was ticking closer to midnight, the three of them were awaiting Sirius who had very vaguely informed Harry that he was going to meet the trio somehow.
"Eyes swimming with the ghosts of his past," Reyna reads aloud, amusement lacing her tone. "Harry, I didn't know you had such emotional depth to you. Especially for a boy who's the mere age of twelve. I heard rumours that men never emotionally develop"
"Piss off Reyna," Harry groans.
"Apparently you cry at night," Reyna states.
"I learn new things about myself with each sentence," Harry rolls his eyes. "Please keep going, this woman clearly knows me better than I know myself"
"Harry, you little Romeo," Reyna gasps dramatically. "You have at last found love at Hogwarts"
"Her and Trelawny must be in touch because she knew that before I did,"
"With-" Reyna takes in a deep breath to stop herself from laughing before continuing to read. "Hermione Granger, a stunningly pretty muggle-born witch who, like Harry, is one of the top students in the school. Honestly, Harry, you're average on a good day. Besides Hermione is so far out of your league that she might as well be invisible"
"You always know how to brighten up my day, Reyna," Harry's voice was monotone. "A true ray of sunshine"
"I just bless all," Reyna sighs. "I'm the gift that keeps on giving"
"Have you heard anything from your dad?" George asks the witch whose face turns slightly sour. "You know after the stuff about-"
"My dad didn't even show up for my birthday," Reyna shrugs her shoulders. "I'm not surprised that my mother becoming a serial killer clearly doesn't warrant a letter"
"Where do you think she is?" Harry asks.
"Hold on,"
Reyna closes her eyes before lifting her fingers to her temples. A loud humming escapes the witch causing Harry to roll his eyes as George chuckles at Reyna's antics. The witch opens her eyes, letting her hands fall back to her sides.
"The spirits are asking the same question that I am: How the fuck am I supposed to know that?"
"You're an idiot,"
"Says the one asking stupid questions!"
The bespectacled wizard nudges Reyna who turns and flicks his ear. Hard. Harry slaps the witch's arm which is responded to by a harder hit from the witch. The younger wizard shoves Reyna harshly, causing the witch to throw the newspaper to the side before lunging for the boy. George watches as the two fight, his jaw slack in shock.
"Speccy twat,"
"Leprechaun-looking twat,"
"Shaggy-haired git,"
"Ginger git,"
"You take that back!"
"Enough!"
Sirius' voice causes the teenagers to halt in their fight and George can't help but snicker at the sight before him. Harry had both of his hands shoving at Reyna's chin as the witch grips his hair tightly. They both look to Sirius' face which was flickering in the flames before them.
"She started it!"
"I don't care," Sirius rolls his eyes. "There are more important things right now. Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?"
"No,"
"I had to ask. Now, tell me about this dream of yours. You mentioned Wormtail, Marianne and Voldemort, but who was the third man in the room?"
"I dunno"
"You didn't hear a name?" Sirius asks.
"No. Voldemort was giving him a job to do. Something important"
"What was that?"
"He wanted me," Harry whispers. "He's hoping he can convince Reyna to join his ranks. But it was just a dream right?"
"Yes, it was just a dream," Sirius' lie wasn't at all convincing.
"Yes. It's just a dream. Look, the death eaters at the world cup, your name rising from that goblet, Marianne killing the muggle family, Reyna being attacked by Burned Ones, these are not just coincidences. Hogwarts isn't safe anymore,"
"What are you saying?" Harry asks the man.
"I'm saying the devils are inside the walls," Sirius says. "Igor Karkaroff, he was a Death Eater. And no one, no one stops being a Death Eater. Then there's Barty Crouch, a heart of stone sent his own son to Azkaban"
"How heavily are the dark arts emphasised at Durmstrang?" George asks.
"Viktor Krum is going to be your biggest threat," Sirius informs the boy. "Delacour may prance around but she'll know her way around a wand. Reyna can fill you in on Caleb,"
"Do you think one of them put my name in the goblet?" Harry asks.
"I haven't a clue who put your name in that goblet Harry but whoever did it is no friend to you. People die in this tournament"
"I'm not ready for this Sirius," Harry says.
"You don't have a choice" Sirius's tone was the deadliest serious she had heard from the man. "Reyna, George, you two have got to get him through this"
"We will,"
