Chapter 12

I sat in my room debating on if I should write my parents. I figure they should know that I'm the tournament, just not the me almost dying part.

I pull out two pieces of parchment, the other one is for the boys.

Dear all

I survived.

Sincerely,

Marley.

I dried it and put it in an envelope before tying it to euro and sending her away. Yes I'm a bit pissy with all of them. Ashley won't write me back, and none of the other guys will tell me why. So they are getting the cold shoulder. But I figured they should know if I lived or not.

Now onto my other letter.

Dear mum and dad,

I know I should have told you earlier, but I was so busy with school work and what not that I didn't have time to write you until now.

I was entered and chosen as a champion in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I know you probably have no idea what that is so here goes, it's a competiton between three schools. They all put their names into a magical goblet and it chooses a champion.

From there the champions have three tasks to complete and get scores depending on how well they did. At the end the champion who has the most points and wins the cup for their school.

That's basically it, but I also wanted to tell you I'm coming home for Christmas. The only one who knows is Andy, I want to surprise the other guys.

Love and miss you lots,

Marley.

After it dried I folded it up and put it into an envelope, and using a school owl I sent it to my parents.

The next few days was very boring, just class and trying to figure out the egg.

But breakfast on the next Saturday I got replies from what looked like all my friends. Euro landed on my shoulder and pecked my ear lightly. I pulled off all the letters and gave her a piece of toast.

Looking at them I got replies from everyone, they guys were all in one letter and mum and dads.

I opened the guys first,

Dear Marley,

CC- are you mad at us because we wont tell you why Ashley wont write you back? If you are I'm sorry but I think he should be the one to tell you. I love you though and can't wait to see you again. And I am really really really glad you didn't die.

Jinxx- please don't hate me L I miss you lots, and I cant wait till you come home. Glad you didn't die either, but you don't get cocky and stay safe with the other tasks.

Andy- I love you sooooo much please don't be mad at me, I just want him to tell you. And I cant wait till you come home so I can give you all your presents from Christmas ;).

Jake- I am writing you last because I want to tell you something that the other three wouldn't approve of because they want him to tell you. I don't think he's ever going to tell you, because that's just how he is. But first, I love you so much and I miss you like crazy, I can not wait for you to come home. But before they catch me writing this, I'm sorry baby girl, but Ashley cheated on you. It was the night before he got your letter, we had just got done playing a show and he got drunk (I know that's no excuse) and took one of our fans back to the bus. I really am sorry baby girl, write me separately and we can talk about it but I got to go. Love you.

By the time I got done reading jakes part I was shaking from anger. I folded it up and stuck it and my parents letter in my bag.

Getting up from the table I stormed out of the great hall and made my way out to the black lake. And finding a more secluded part of it I let my anger get the best of me and started lashing out. With and without magic, I hit trees and anything else I could think of to take my anger out.
