ALYRA SECRETLY walked towards the tent in which the tournament champions were in order to speak to harry before he had to go out. before she got all the way over there however, she saw hermione walking away from the tent and she stood at one side and tried to get the attention of whoever was on the other side, "harry? harry is that you?" she whispered

"yeah, it's me." he replied back

"please be careful." her voice was soft and worried as she whispered quietly to him, "don't get too hurt, okay? please?"

"i'll be careful, alyra." harry spoke back, returning the same type of tone that she spoke with

"you need to concentrate, okay?" she bit her bottom lip as worry surged through her entire body

"i will." he nodded, suddenly being taken aback when the blonde girl pushed through side of the tent and jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. she immediately pulled away at the sound and flash of a giant camera pointed at her and harry, her face immediately dropped at the sight

"young love." rita skeeter gasped dramatically as she entered the tent and was met by harry and alyra in each others embrace, "oh, how... stirring."

she watched as the woman's quill wrote into a little notepad as rita spoke, her and harry sharing a slightly worried glance with one another, "if everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page."

"no, please." alyra begged, she didn't want that photo getting out.

"you have no business being here." victor krum suddenly spoke up, his voice was deep and sort of hollow sounding, "this tent is for champions... and friends."

"no matter." rita spoke, clearly taken aback, "we've uh, got what we wanted."

alyra turned to say something to harry as worry grew on her face but she was cut short by dumbledore entering the tent behind her. she grabbed hold of harry's wrist as the dark haired boy pulled her towards him and out of the headmasters way

"good day, champions." he spoke as he entered, "gather round, please. now, you've waited, you've wondered, and at last, the moment as arrived. the moment only four of you can fully appreciate."

alyra saw dumbledores gaze fall upon her, and he then looked away before taking a double take back to her, and soon his eyes fell upon her and harry's closeness to each other and the girls hand wrapped around his wrist, "waht are you doing here miss malfoy?" dumbledore asked and the blonde smiled at him awkwardly, chuckling quietly

"oh.. haha... well, i.." she felt the pressure on her to respond as people's eyes fell upon her, "i'll go, i'm sorry." she swiftly exited the tent and made her way to go and sit with some of her friends up in the stands, she sneakily went towards the gryffindors seating area and stood beside hermione, "do you mind if i stand here?"

"not at all, alyra." hermione smiled at the girls presence

"okay, thank you." she smiled back, jumping slightly when a cannon went off, telling them all that it was cedric's turn to come out.

"ITS NEARLY harry's turn." hermione muttered to alyra as the blonde was left with a completely horrified look as cedric was carried off towards the hospital wing, "i'm worried, are you worried?"

"i'm extremely worried." alyra nodded, her hand shaking a little as harry stepped out of the tent slowly stepping into the cave arena below the stands, "go harry!!" alyra cupped her hands over her mouth as she cheered for the dark haired boy. she covered her eyes with her hand, peaking out between her fingers as the dragons tail came falling down towards harry making him fall onto the ground below him, "come on, potter." she whispered into her hands as she watched harry run from the creature, "you can do this."
