"tell me that it's not my fault."
Makayla
We're in the Great Hall the next day, preparing for the names to be chosen. Ann and Jordyn still won't sit with us.
I find myself sitting next to Louis as Draco, Grayson, and Mattheo are sat on the other side of the table. It feels odd to be sitting on this side. Ann usually sits here. Grayson is a little pissy about whatever he and Louis talked about. Louis must've told him off or something. I don't know why, though.
We focus our attention on Dumbledore as he announces, "Silence! We are now going to see who the Goblet of Fire determines our Triwizard champions."
I hold my breath for some reason I don't know. The first name spits out of the Goblet.
"Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore shouts. Everyone claps as Viktor Krum stands up, walking to the podium.
The second name spits out. Dumbledore grabs the paper.
"From Beauxbatons," he says, "Fleur Delacour!"
Everyone claps again as Fleur stands up and walks to Viktor, now standing next to him. Now time for the Hogwarts champion.
The name spits out. I don't know who all put their name in. All I hope is that it's no one I kno—
"Cedric Diggory!" Dumbledore shouts.
Are you fucking joking?
He smiles as he stands up, his friends playfully hitting his shoulder. I meet his eyes as he walks to Viktor and Fleur. His gaze is smug and cocky. I watch him walk to them until I hear the Goblet of Fire make an odd, distorted sound. When I look over, blue fire spits out with a piece of paper, slightly burnt up. Just as Dumbledore grabs the paper, the Goblet spits out another one.
Snape grabs the second paper as Dumbledore reads the first one, mumbling, "Harry Potter..." Whispers break out throughout the Great Hall before Dumbledore repeats his words, this time in a shout, "HARRY POTTER?"
I watch Hermione push Harry to go over. He walks to Dumbledore and is handed the paper.
"What the hell..." I murmur under my breath as people start shouting out that Harry cheated and they want to know who the second name is.
Snape shows Dumbledore the second paper, both of them looking up at me. My heart drops when everyone stares at me as Dumbledore says, "Makayla Malfoy, please come up here..."
My mouth is completely dry as I stand from my seat. Louis is worried. I can hear him curse in his mind.
Draco invades my mind as I walk up to Dumbledore and Snape, asking, "Did you put your name in?"
I shake my head, thinking, "No... I didn't."
