Chapter Twelve - The Egg

I wake up in the hospital wing and remember that they brought me here because I fractured my wrist.

I sit up and yawn. I probably fell asleep since I was really tired after the tournament.  I look down to see my lower arm in a cast. I scratch my head and notice how tangled it is. Did I brush my hair? I probably didn't since after the tournament I was taken here immediately. I should go back to my dorm and change. What time is it? Or what day?

Madam Pomfrey opens the curtain with a smile. "It seems like you always end up here huh?"

I smile back. "How long was I asleep for?"

"A couple of hours," she says. "You may go back to your dorm and clean up. There's one hour before dinner and I hear that they will be congratulating the champions." She stops and looks at something behind me. I turn around to notice that she's looking at the egg. I almost forgot about the egg.

"You should take it with you and open it in private. Who knows what could be in there," she says and I nod.

I take the covers off, put my shoes on, grab the egg, and thank her before heading out. While I walk down the hallway I notice the people who were giving me dirty looks are now congratulating me. Fake asses. I just smile and thank them.

I get to my dorm and throw the egg on my bed before taking a shower. After the shower, I put on some jeans and a sweater. I detangle my hair and then blow dry it. While I'm doing that, I hear the door open. Cho comes into the bathroom with the egg and a curious expression.

"Are you going to open it?" she yells over the sound of the blow dryer.

I turn it off and turn to look at her. "I was going to wait until after dinner, but why not? There shouldn't be anything dangerous inside, right?"

She shrugs. "We'll have to find out."

She hands it to me and I open it. A high pitched shriek to comes out of it. I drop it to cover my ears and realize that I need to close it. I pick it up and close the egg hurriedly.

"What was that?!" Cho exclaims.

"...I have no idea. Um, okay I think it's better if I try to solve this later, why don't we go to lunch now?"

"Good idea," she says, glancing at the egg one more time before heading out the door.

I leave the egg on my bed and follow her out.

"Asphodel," Luna greets when I sit beside her. "Great job at fighting that dragon!"

"Thank you," I smile.

"How's your arm?" She asks.

"I broke it, but it's okay."

"Asphodel!" Neville says walking up to me with Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny behind. "You did amazing at fighting that dragon!"

"Well it wasn't really amazing all I did was turn it into a bird," I shrug.

"But still! It was incredible!" Harry exclaims.

I smile. "Thank you. You did great at not dying and it was amazing how you fought it. I'm proud of you."

He smiles warmly. "T-thank you. Anyway, I believe somebody needs to apologize to you." He glances at Ron and he turns red from embarrassment.

"Y-yeah um, sorry. I shouldn't have thought that you and Harry would go and put your names willingly in the Goblet," He says, refusing to make eye contact.

"Well thank you for that apology Ronald and I forgive you."

A little boy comes up running to me with a paper in hand. "A-Asphodel right? I'm Nigel, have you seen the school newspaper?" He hands me the paper and I start reading it.

"The school doesn't have a newspaper..." I hear Ginny say.

"Well it does now," I mutter. I take my eyes off the paper and start looking around the Great Hall. "Who is Louis?"

"Who?" Ron says.

"Louis, Louis Silver. Who is he, where is he?" I say, trying to keep a relaxed tone.

"I'm getting kind of scared..." Harry says.

"What's wrong Asphodel?" Hermione says, taking the paper from my hand and reading it. Her eyes widen and she shows it to Ginny then Ginny shows it to Luna.

"Louis Silver is sitting at the Slytherin table," Luna says calmly. "He has dark hair and green eyes. Try not to kill him." Then she gives me a smile.

"Neville grab my bag please," I say as I start walking to the Slytherin table. I can feel him walking behind me with the rest of the group.

I get to a group of boys sitting far from everyone else in the table. "Can any of you tell me who Louis Silver is?"

"That's me," one of them says. He looks exactly like Luna described him except he looks like his personality.

"Stand up."

"Why would I-"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

He stands up with a curious expression and I kick him in the balls as hard as I can. He screams and falls on the floor.

"Who do you think you are to be talking about me like that? Talk about me or other women like that again and I will chop your dick off," I take the paper from Hermione.

"What are you talking about?" He yells in pain.

"Oh you don't remember? Poor thing. Let me remind you." I say and read the paper out loud. " 'It is already enough to have only one female in the tournament and there isn't a need for another one when clearly the men are superior and will win it anyway. Especially when it's someone like Asphodel Evergreen and Fleur Delacour, who have the looks but not the talent and should stay out just looking pretty and leave it to the men.' Does that ring a bell to you?"

"All that I wrote is true and you know it!" He yells.

"So why are you not in the tournament huh? Since you think you're so superior then, fine, take my place and see how it goes for you." I yell and he stays quiet. "Do you know what word will describe someone like you? A misogynistic."

"W-what?"

"Oh, no! Someone needs to learn their vocabulary. No worries! This is where I come in! Neville dear, my bag." He nods nervously and hands me it. I take a dictionary out and throw it to his face, probably breaking his nose. "Misogynistic. M-Y-S-O-G-Y-N-I-S-T-I-C. That's what you are. Pendejo. Crees que el mundo gira alrededor tuyo? Vete a comer mierda."
(Dumbass. Do you think the world revolves around you? Eat shit.)

When I turn to leave, I'm met with Professor McGonagall.

"Professor!" I frown. "Did you see what he wrote about me and Fleur?"

"I saw," She says firmly and looks at him. "50 points will be taken from Slytheirn and you will earn detention for what you wrote. I will be writing to your parents," She turns to me. "10 points will be taken from Ravenclaw since violence is not the answer to deal with these situations."

"But-"

"No buts Miss Evergreen!" She comes closer to me and whispers. "Although I do admire what you said."

I smile at her and turn to the group. They all have their eyes widened.

Anyway, so the evening didn't go as I expected but at least now I don't have to worry since the next trial is scheduled for February. After all that happened, Fleur thanked me for defending her, Louis was taken to the Hospital Wing, and then Dumbledore congratulated the champions for today.

THE BARBIE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD, I LOVED IT.

Anyway, here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoyed it!
