My first love

Part 18: the first task

When they got back to the common room Harry headed to his room and Miley sat in the common room for a while. George came and sat next to her. " he'll be ok you know" he said as she rested her head on his shoulder. " I hope so. I'm not loosing anyone else" she said making her heart ache slightly at the thought of it. "Fred won't tell me what happened, he won't speak to me much at all really. Every time I ask he just snaps at me. Tells me to keep my nose out" George said as they sat watching the fireplace flames dance. " he asked us to be friends again. I just can't do it anymore Georgie" she replied tears starting to form again. George cuddled in as she began to cry. Luckily everyone had headed up to bed apart from a few first years. " I love him" Miley said between sobs. " I know" she heard George say as he gently cuddled in. At that they heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Fred. He stood at the bottom. He looked between Miley and George and before he could ask Miley stood up. "Goodnight Georgie" she said with a faint smile before slightly pushing past Fred who watched her walk up the stairs. Once she got to the top they began to fight, she stood and listened for a while. " I knew it! You two are so obvious" Fred said snappily. " what's are you on about" George replied. " you and miley, your obviously hooking up" Fred snapped at his brother. "No Fred I was just comforting a friend that's all" George said trying to reason with his brother. " you had your hands all over her, your making her hate me so you can have her all to yourself" Fred snapped making George laugh " your delusional mate" George said " anyways aren't you dating Angelina what would you care if I was" he carried on. " you know that's different" Fred said staring to get defensive " Fred you can't keep playing with her emotions mate, either you like her or you don't but you can't keep treating her like this she deserves better" George said in a soft tone " doesn't matter does it, she deserves someone better. Let her date pretty boy Cedric. Or you for that matter. See if I care" Fred said snappily before heading up the stairs. Miley stood there in silence. He got to the top, looked at her and scoffed before going to his room. Miley turned to go to the girls dorms and headed straight to bed.

The next morning she received an abundance of letters. One from her mother, one from Remus and one from her dad. Her mother's was a howler which opened in front of everyone in the dining hall at breakfast.

Miley Hannah black. How could you let your younger brother enter a dangerous tournament. We are very disappointed in you. You are his older sister you are suppose to protect him. Do your duties properly and ensure he doesn't come into harms way or so help me Merlin I will bring you straight home.

The Letter burst into flames. Miley got a few sympathetic looks and went onto her letter from Remus. It was an apology for the howler and he spoke of how her mother was just scared. Then her father. All it read was I need to speak with you and Harry. In person. Your common room. 1am tonight. Don't be late. Miley gave it to Harry and sat and swirled her cereal in her bowl till it went soft. Harry and Ron had a fight last night apparently so he and Hermione were sat with the twins while me and Harry sat alone. That evening  Harry and Miley snuck into the common room awaiting Miley's father. They didn't know how he'd get into the castle but he'd done it once before so it hadn't really sparked their curiosity much. Harry found a paper with the article Rita skeeta had wrote about him. Playing on his vulnerabilities. Harry annoyed at her comments crumpled the the paper up and launched it into the fireplace. It began to burn but soon stopped as a voice came form the fire. "Over here kids" it said in a hushed tone. They ran to the fireplace as the face of Miley's father formed in the flames. "Hey dad" she said " Sirius" Harry said " hello my darling" her father said looking towards her then back at Harry " I don't have much time kids, Harry did you put your name into the goblet of fire?" He asked Harry  "no" Harry said defensively " I had to ask" Sirius said sympathetically. " now tell me about the dream you keep telling me about" Harry had told Miley too. It involved voldermort. She feared for her brother as that was never a good sign. " who was the third man in the room?" My father asked. " I don't know" Harry replied sadly " did you not hear a name?" Her father pushed on "no, voldermort is giving him a job to do. He wants him to get.. me" Harry said looking at Miley's father. She could tell by her father's face he was worried "now listen the pair of you, the durmstrang headmaster is a death eater. Keep your eye on him. Harry your name coming from the goblet was no accident. Hogwarts isn't safe for you two anymore. Stick by friends and most importantly look out for each other." He stated looking between the pair of them " I have to go I'm sorry, be careful both of you" he said before disappearing allowing the paper to burn once more.
