A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

13| The Triwizard Tournament

Summer was sadly over which I was sad about but the good thing was, I could see Draco more now. I had a really hard time not seeing him a lot.

We only met up twice over summer and we only called twice. I feel like I missed so much of his life and he missed a bunch of mine.

We went to the quidditch cup right before school and I briefly saw Draco there but we were focused on the game and his dad isn't my biggest fan.

Unfortunately, the night ended in death eaters attacking everyone.

Year four started out with a bang when Dumbledore announced the triwizard tournament would be held at Hogwarts.

It was a very competitive tournament between our school and two others. We had a few weeks before it began but there was already talk of who would join it.

You had to be 17 to join so no body in our year would be participating.

But tonight, they were announcing the contestants. One from each school was getting selected.

From Beauxbatons, Fluer Delacour would be participating. From Durmstrang, Viktor Krum. And from Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory who I had met at the Quidditch World Cup.

As Dumbledore was about to sit down at eat, the Goblet of Fire spit up another piece of paper. He caught it and looked shocked at what it said.

"Harry and Natalie Potter!" He looked over at us.

I looked to Harry immediately his face just as confused and concerned as mine.

"Harry and Natalie!" Dumbledore called again.

We slowly got up and walked over to him and into the room the others had gone in.

"It's going to be alright Nat." Harry whispered to me reassuringly.

"What are you guys doing here?" Viktor asked his accent showing through.

"The goblet threw our names out." Harry told him.

"We're only 14 though." I added.

"Harry, Natalie you guys can't compete." Cedric put his arm on Harry's shoulder.

"They don't have a choice." One of the adults voices sounded behind us.

"Harry! Natalie! Did you put your names in the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbledore charged at us.

"N-no sir!" Harry stumbled back.

We all had a long discussion before they came to the conclusion that we had to participate. We were linked into the tournament and leaving was not an option.

However, since our names were on the same piece of paper, we would be able to participate as a team.

That made this whole thing slightly better.

=================================

"You can do this Natalie." Draco reassured me later in my room.

"I-I don't know if I can." I rested my head on his shoulder. He held me tightly and kept reassuring me that it would be ok.

Avery was up in Harry's dorm and she was comforting him.

"You and Harry will be on a team. You guys work well together and you're a very powerful witch. I believe in you." He caressed my hair and looked deeply into my watery eyes.

I smiled up at him. He leant down and connected our lips. They moved in sync together for a few seconds before he pulled away and smiled.

"Thank you. For everything you're doing." I laid down on his chest.
