"Harry Potter,age 12,suspect entrant in the Triwizard Tournament.His eyes swimming with the ghosts of his past..."
Y/n stood behind Harry,who was sitting opposite Hermione at the Gryffindor table,wrapping her arms around him so that the newspaper could be read by both of them.
But Harry just scowled.
It was Friday,lunchtime,and class for the fourth years had already ended.
"Shouldn't you be sitting at your house table?"
"Oohhh,someone's happy to see me."
Y/n grinned
"I bet Ron is so happy he rushed to the bathroom to freshen up for me,that's why he's nowhere to be found."
Hermione gave her a warning look.
"What?"
Y/n's smile dropped
"He's not really freshening up for me,is he?"
So Harry told Y/n everything.
"He told you to piss off,is he serious?"
Y/n was shocked then again angry,then again shocked
"I'm honest,Harry,when I heard your name I almost fainted."
"She actually almost fainted"
Hermione confirmed without looking up from her book.
Y/n continued talking
"But I never,not even once,thought about the fact that you would intentionally throw your name into that murder weapon.Thats absurd."
Loud and angry footsteps were heard and glanced to her left.
"Lejla!" she smiled
"I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Be quiet!"
Now Hermione also looked up and her expression went from relaxed to worried.
"What?"
Y/n was flabbergasted
"It's your fault!"
"W-what do you mean?"
"That Cedric threw his name into that goblet.It's all your fault!"
Tears formed in Lejla's eyes.
"Lejla,what are you talking about?"
Harry spoke up,visibly confused by the huge drama that had been blowing over him over the last few days.
Hermione also intervened now
"Y/n never wanted his name to end up here,really-"
"Don't interfere,Hermione-"
and Lejla said her name with such anger and disgust that Hermione recoiled,hurt.
"Hey,I don't know what's come over you,but you need to calm down.Otherwise I won't and can't take you seriously in whatever you're saying-"
"You and your stupid obsession with competing with everyone.Cedric now sees it as a challenge to debunk your theory.Do you think this is a joke"
"What theory?!"
Harry now even more confused
"I've had enough of you Y/n.And of you too Hermione.Goodbye."
And so,Lejla left and she wouldn't come back for a while.For quite a while,Y/n was sure.
Y/n sunk into the seat next to Harry and with teary eyes she said.
"Then I guess we've both lost our best friends."

"I don't want to go on a date with Cedric."
Y/n said grimly as Eva combed her hair
"You want and you will."
now removing a knot
"Ouch!"
"Let me do it."
Hermione now walked into the Ravenclaw bathroom.The Ravenclaw bath was noble and beautiful.It was kept in a strict silver,blue and white pattern.
The sinks and bathtubs were made of marble,the mirrors were round and the edge was made of a beautifully shiny silver.
And the tiles and wallpaper were made of a dark,night sky-like blue.
They had conjured Hermione here with a very complex and complicated invisibility potion,but well,Ravenclaws.
"No,she can handle it."
Eva remained stubborn.
"Yeah,let Hermione comb my hair."
Reluctantly,the comb ended up in Hermione's hand,who began to comb through Y/n's hair more gently and then pin it up.
"You'll go and see if it feels right,if not,you can leave at any time."
Y/n rolled her eyes
"I know guys,but I just had a fight with his sister which was about him risking his life bacause of me.I don't know about you,but I don't feel too comfortable with that."
"The thing with Lejla-"
Hermione sighed,clearly not sure what to say.
"The thing with Lejla will turn out just fine."
Eva came out of the bedroom with a pair of light blue jeans and a dark lilac ruffled top in her hand.
"So,go out there and have fun,because he's already waiting very jittery-"
"What?!"
"Yes,all the girls are already whispering."
Eva began to imitate
"Omg,Cedric Diggory is standing outside the door.What?Cedric Diggory?The Cedric Diggory?"
And to annoy Y/n a bit,she added
"Yes,the Cedric Diggory.He's so hot."
Now smiling again,Y/n slapped Eva lightly on the shoulder and changed her clothes in no time.
______________________________
Cedric and Y/n spent three whole hours at Madame Pudifoot's just talking.
Since Cedric was older and it was Friday,the curfew was no longer as strict,but they slowly made their way back to the school.
"Don't worry about my sister.She overreacts sometimes."
Cedric broke the silence caused by tiredness
"She'll sort herself out."
He smiled confidently,but y/n shook her head
"Then why does my gut feeling tell me something different-
I know,I know.Your gut feeling is never a 100% right,yet it's also never a 100% wrong either Cedric."
The silence got a hold of them again and they walked to the school without saying a word.Till they reached the front gate
"Cedric,can I be honest with you?"
Cedric looked at her puzzled
"Of course,yes,of course."
"I had reservations about coming today,strong reservations."
He smiled a little hurt.
"Especially after Lejla's and my fight."
"Y/n,if you just want to end this then just make it short and painless."
To his surprise,she let out a tiny laugh
"You think it's funny?"
"Cedric-"
She took his hand and he calmed down
"Let me finish.After everything that happened the last few weeks,I really enjoyed today."
"Really?"
He smiled like a little puppy.
"Really."
Y/n reassured
"And I would like to do it again."
She emphasised each word as clearly as if Cedric didn't speak the same language.
They looked into each others eyes for a while and Y/n started to smiled softly
"Good night,Cedric"
And after she kissed him on the cheek,she left the completely stunned Cedric there and went to bed.

"Amazing!"
"Neville you're doing it again."
Harry was sitting next to a tree and in the pond across from him were Neville and Y/n with their green rubber boots.
Y/n didn't really dress occasionally.
She wore a white dress with a purple cardigan,black tights and her green,eye-catching rubber boots.
Her hair tied messily in a lower ponytail.
Because Ron and Harry had fallen out,
Hermione and Y/n found themselves in an awkward position.So they decided to take turns every day so that nobody felt left out.
And today Hermione was with Ron and Harry with Y/n.
Since Harry and Ron had argued,
Dean and Seamus were no longer his friends,so the only male friend that was left was Neville.
"Look what I've found Y/n!"
Neville pulled out a strange looking purple flower out of the water,dried it a little and gave it to Y/n.
"It's even your favorite colour."
he said shyly.
"Ohhhh,thank you Neville."
Y/n accepted the flower gladly and smiled warmly at him.
Neville had a crush on Y/n and Harry hadn't missed it.
What's much worse is that Y/n doesn't notice and thinks Neville is just nice and so friendly to them,because he didn't have many friends.That's why Harry always receives a death stare when he didn't respond to Neville's plans.
Like today,for an example.
Neville actually just wanted to take them to look at his strange plant book that Moody had given him,but Harry didn't feel like looking at a plant book and made it well known.
"He only reacts like that because he doesn't just want to look at a book,that would be boring,he wants to see the underwater plants in reality."
and now he sat here and had to watch as Neville tried to hit on his best friend and Harry didn't like it,he didn't like it at all.
He had only just gotten Cedric away from her,he didn't have time to keep Neville away from her too.
But his thoughts were interrupted when he noticed movement.
Neville waved at someone causing Harry to look behind him to see none other than his former best friend Ron Weasley.
Hermione could already be heart talking in the distance
"Why don't you just go and talk to him yourself?"
Harry closed that plant book and got up to go to Ron,Hermione and Ginny.
"Ron this I your problem not mine!"
Hermione tried again.
Y/n watched the whole spectacle with an amped smile
and Hermione came reluctantly toward Harry.
"Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid's looking for you."
"Well bless you Hermione."
Y/n was disgustedly removing a piece of algae from her cardigan.She definitely had to take a shower afterwards.
Harry was also a little confused
"Is that right?Well,you—
What?!"
"Uh—"
Unsure,Hermione went back to Ron and they started whispering
"Are you sure you won't do this
-You do it."
and Hermione made her way back to Harry.Again.
Trying hard not to make a mistake,she started again
"Dean was told by Parvati that—"
finally she gave up
"Please don't ask me to say it again,Hagrid's
looking for you."
"Well you can tell Ronald—"
"I'm not an owl!"
Clearly fed up with all the back and forth Hermione started to head to Ron again
"See you,Y/n"
She Saadi and that her ,Ginny and Ron disappeared.
"You're coming with me."
Harry pointed his finger at Y/n.
"What?But I still have a date with Cedric."
But Y/n thought about it again,Harry had it really rough these last couple of days.He was chosen to take part in an murderous event and everyone thinks he is a liar,even worse,his best friend.
"It was really cool Neville,but Harry and I need to go,and-"
She squeezed his shoulder
"thanks for the flower."
So Y/n stepped out of the water and scolded Harry
"The things I won't do for you."
Y/n strode away,but all Harry could say was the most displeasurable
"Cedric?"

"Did you bring your father's cloak,like I asked you?"
When Harry and Y/n went to Hagrid at lunchtime,he told them to sneak into the Forbidden Forest in the evening,because he had something very important to show them.
"Yeah,I brought the cloak.Hagrid,where are we going?"
"You'll see soon enough.Now pay attention you two,this is important."
Hagrid now stood a little more in the light and Harry and Y/n looked at him properly for the first time
"What's with the flower?"
Y/n was obviously confused ,but Harry didn't seem to be able to avoid the confusion either
"Hagrid,have you combed your hair?"
"As a matter of fact,I have.You might try the same thing now and again."
Y/n was about to rub salt in Harry's wound when a distant roar was heard and Y/n backed away in shock.
"Hagrid?"
someone shouted from the depths in the forest with a thick French accent.
Hagrid almost forgot about the two as he stalked forward.
"Oh!The cloak!Put the cloak on."
Y/n looked at Harry
"That'll be cozy."
"I can feel your breath."
"Yes,Y/n,what do you want me to do about it."
Y/n leaned forward towards Harry
"Stop.breathing."
But Y/n and Harry's little discussion was interrupted
"Bonsoir,Olympe
-Oh,Hagrid."
the headmistress of Beauxbaton.
"Harry,what Hagrid is going to show us is related to the Tournament."
and Madame Maxime began to speak again
"I thought perhaps you weren't coming.I thought perhaps...you had forgotten me."
"Couldn't forget you,Olympe."
Madame Maxime and Hagrid held hands and Harry made a disgusted vomiting noice,which earned an angry look from Y/n.
"What is it you wanted to show me?When we spoke earlier,you sounded so exhilarated ."
"You'll be glad you came.Trust me."
They started walking again and for a brief moment there was complete silence.Harry saw this as the perfect opportunity to speak to Y/n
"So,you and Cedric,huh?Are you guys a thing?"
Y/n replied very flippantly
"We're a thing.Now that I'm sneaking around in the forbidden forest with another boy."
"Another boy?I'm your best friend."
"Ah,that's true again."
and then they both smiled softly at each other,but the smile quickly disappeared because of what they saw.
Cages,huge cages,that contained something large and loud that spat out fire everywhere
"Dragons?!"
Harry looked at Hagrid flabbergasted as Madame Maxime was out of earshot.
"That's the first task?"
Y/n also pulled her cloak down so that,like Harry's,only her head was visible
"You're joking."
"Come on guys.These are obviously misunderstood creatures."
And at that very moment,a dragon breathed out a huge wave of fire towards Hagrid,Harry and Y/n so they all had to duck
"Oh,crikey!Although I have to admit...that Horntail is a really nasty piece of work."
