                I sat beside Barty with Skeeter scumbag bitch on his other side, as Dumbledore with McGonagall. I saw Draco, Blaise, Marcus, Terrence, Lucian, Graham and Theo with the Slytherins, and Roger with Terry, the Patil twins, and Brocklehurt, and Ginny with the Weasleys and Hermione along with Luna and Neville, Seamus and Dean. I saw Severus behind me. He went and sat on the other side of Skeeter giving me an acknowledging nod, which I returned.
I sat quietly, as Lee went up and began with the commentary. The crowd was cheering for Diggory. He looked at me with a soft smile on his face, as I returned his smile with a disgusting snarl plastered on my face. I knew very well, he only wanted to get into my pants. I had fully covered myself, only revealing my palms and fingers and my face for that very reason. I did not want myself to be checked out by him. I vowed to never reveal my body, until he'd graduated from Hogwarts. With his foolhardy father in the Ministry of Magic, am sure he'll help his player father out.
From what Severus told me, Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black, Gilderoy Lockhart and Amos Diggory were quite the players in their school days. It looked like Lockhart had retained his player persona, Lucius had matured and devoted himself to family, Sirius to his family even though he retained some of his flirtatious charms, and Amos Diggory had passed down his attitude to his good for nothing son.
"Dobby" I muttered. With a pop, Dobby appeared in front of me. Barty looked at me and then at the house elf.
"What may Dobby do for Mistress Potter" he said.
"Dobby, it's Alexia. And please get me some popcorn for me along with some strawberry slush." I said.
"Of course, Alexia." Dobby squeaked as he disapparated, and within seconds arrived with a giant tub of popcorns and a plastic covered cup of strawberry slush with a straw attached to it. He knew the way I preferred my drinks to be served and was training Winky and Tiffany, the house elf who gave herself to my ownership on her own free will over how I preferred my things. He knew that I would graduate this year, and therefore by next year, I need at least Tiffany well trained, and know everything about me on the tip of her fingers.
"Thank you Dobby. How is Winky?" I asked.
"Drinking away Alexia." He replied.
"And how is Tiffany?" I asked.
"Tiffany is doing really well. She's progressed rapidly. I reckon she'll be well trained as your personal help by the end of this year Easter." He replied. With that he disapparated again.
"Who's Tiffany?" asked Barty.
"She's my personal house elf." I replied. "I found her lurking about in Diagon Alley one day; she was searching for a home. Apparently Yaxley had free her mother with by giving new clothes, since they wanted no expecting house elf mother. Tessie, Tiffany's mother, helped out Tom, the landlord of the Leaky Cauldron. Then when Tiffany turned fifteen years of age, Tessie died in the streets, rendering Tiffany homeless. That was when she came across me, and begged me to take her in and I brought her with me to Hogwarts, as my personal elf. And the ending of that very year, my brother tricked Lucius Malfoy into freeing his house elf Dobby. Since then Dobby has been training Tiffany about my preferences, so she will turn out as a well trained personal help of a house elf of mine." Barty nodded as we saw Diggory tackle his dragoness.
"Oooh, narrow miss there, very narrow"... "He's taking risks, this one!"... "Clever move - pity it didn't work!" I let my hand stay as I glared at the boy who had transfigured a rock into a barking dog to distract the dragoness.
"Hmph..." I huffed. "Only a mongrel can think of transfiguring a rock into a dog." He then ran and took the egg, but the dragoness was intelligent and blew a gust of fire onto his face. I smirked. "I am in love with this Swedish Short Snout. I will marry her and bear her babes" I said making Barty's eyebrows go all the way up, vanishing in his tuff of sandy brown hair. His eyes went as huge as plates and saucers. He gulped as he eyed me skeptically.
"You must really hate Diggory for sneaking in the potion in your drink" he muttered to himself. He ran as he patted off his burn and Pomona Sprout led him to the first aid tent. He came out later and was given the marks for the task. Then, it was Fleur's turn. And the commentary began again.
"Oh I'm not sure that was wise! Oh... nearly! Careful now... good lord, I thought she'd had it then!" yelled Lee.
"Jordon is good with commentary" said Barty as I nodded. Ten minutes later she was done with her dragons and we all clapped as marks were awarded and she too went back to her tent. Then, came out Viktor Krum... I saw him look at Hermione and then at his Chinese Fireball. Something is definitely going on between these two people. I need to talk to Hermione Jean Granger about this matter. And Lee began his commentary again.
"That's some nerve he's showing - and - yes, he's got the egg!"
"Of course, the conjunctivitis curse..." I said.
"Conjunctivitis curse?" said Barty.
"Every individual or creature has its strongest and weakest points. The weakest point of the dragon is its eyes. The use of the spell done by Krum will block its vision, and since it's a dragon it'll be for an hour or two hours at the most. This provides the candidate, which is Viktor Krum, more than enough time to capture the golden egg." I explained. Barty's eyebrows went all up, thoroughly impressed by the conjunctivitis curse done by Krum. Viktor received his scores though some points were deducted since his Chinese Fireball dragoness trampled over some eggs when hit by the curse. Now, it's the turn of my brother. and I felt bile rise all the way to my mouth.

Barty's P.O.V.:-

Alexia was nervous. Potter came out as eh gulped. He peaked a look at Alexia as he smiled, as if giving her a reassurance that he'd be fine. He'd be alive by the end of this task. But what affected me, was the way Alexia was behaving. Till now, she was enjoying the show, finishing off her slush and popcorn. But now, she was almost on the verge of sweating out of nervousness. Her brother's facing the dragoness, and here, this girl is nervous as hell. I put my hand into her open palm and entwined my fingers into her finger gaps, giving it a squeeze of reassurance that I am here for her, and will forever be there for her, no matter what the condition arises.
I saw her fingers entwine into mine as I internally smiled. I had her with me. And I would protect her even from the Dark Lord himself. And I would never let Pettigrew know, that Alexia is the Potter's daughter, and Potter's twin sister. Never... even if I need to be tortured, weakened, killed or worse administered the Dementor's kiss... I would gladly take it for her. I would never let any harm befall upon her. I saw how Potter tackled the Hungarian Horntail. The dragoness roared at him, slashing its tail at him, as he dodged it. Lexi jumped on her seat, squeaking with fright.
"Accio Firebolt" said Potter, as he hid behind a rock as the dragoness blew out fire. A sound of the wind was heard, and a broom came in the air. Potter mounted his broom and flew. But this angered the dragoness who broke the chains and slashed its tail knocking down Skeeter. Lexi and I fell, as she buried her into my chest, and I lay on top of her. I gulped a huge amount of saliva. Her touch was like a current, which hardened my groin. I felt my trousers and kilt feel tighter and tighter. Shit... thank Merlin for the kilt of Mad-Eye Moody, or I am sure my boner would be seen. Moments later Potter came and yelled with enthusiasm in the air, without the dragoness following him. He took the egg and dismounted the broom.
"He succeeded." I muttered. Lexi immediately got up, and smiled at me, after a long time.
"Sorry" she said.
"No need to be." I said. "I am not, because I didn't mind it. Not a moment went without enjoyment."
