Soon enough my trunk came zipping through the fire and collided into my chest. Stepping out of the flames Snape came through brushing off his robes and crossing his arms over his body.
"What was that for?!," I scoffed, setting down my trunk
"Your Houndfather wanted your trunk taken to you, it's here isn't it," He drawled causing me to narrow my eyes at him
"You didn't have to throw it did you, Mr-Scowls-All-The-Time," I hissed stomping foot
"It's not my problem, Miss-Daughter-Of-A-Felon," He snapped back Zeusius took flight and landed on Dumbledores shoulder watching with mild interest.
"What if I had something valuable in there and it broke? Then it would be your problem Mr. Dungeon Bat," I stepped closer glaring fiercely at him sometimes he made me want to push him off a cliff.
"But there isn't," Snape hissed through clenched teeth.
"How do you know? Did you go through it?," I asked icily "That's personal property sir. You better watch out I could easily report the ministry,"
"Of course I didn't go through it why the he-"
"Then how do you know there isn't anything valuable in there?!," I shouted clenching my fists
"Easy enough," He growled darkly "Is there anything valuable in there?," He asked, the hair trigger temper he had rising higher.
"Nope," All of the anger I had, washed away as I smiled sweetly which caused him to groan loudly, throw up his arms and walk out of the Headmasters door with his cape billowing behind him.
"You sure put up a fight, bran-girl," Zeusius cawed preening Dumbledores beard whom was smiling welcomely and a spark of amusement in his eyes.
"You're too much like your parents," He smiled, letting Zeusius fly over to me "The feast is going to start soon, leave your things just outside the door I shall have Filtch take care of it,"
"Sure thing Professor Dumbledore," I told him picking my trunk up and setting it right out of the door.
Once we entered the great hall, it was covered in hundreds of floating candles, and many children from age eleven to eighteen. The enchanted sky-light on the ceiling was showing pounding rain and lightning. I looked up to the staff table to see the Defense Against The Dark Arts seat filled with the famous Auror Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. Waving off Dumbledore as Zeusius cawed in goodbye I set off down to the Gryffindor table where The Weasley twins, Harry, Hermione, and Ron sat. They waved happily and stood up as I walked fast towards them engulfing all three into a hug.
"Watch it Bran-girl. I don't want my feathers bent," Zeusius cawed, causing the trio to jump.
"Don't worry guys this is Zeusius My raven familiar," I said with a smile as Harry held his hand up for Zeusius to step up on. Hermione gasped with delight.
"I read something like this in Hogwarts A History," Hermione pet him happily "Raven Familiars are rare they have very short Lineages of masters I-"
"Hermione can't you realize you are the only one out of us four who read Hogwarts A History?," I asked they all laughed as we sat down. "I'm starving what's taking so long?,"
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts," Dumbeldore said happily as if on cue "I know we are starting the Speech before the feast, but I have an announcement,"
I grounded loudly, knowing what Dumbledore was going to be announcing "This blows,"
"We will be hosting a tournament. Not your regular Quidditch tournament. The Tri-Wizard-Tournament will be taking place. Two other foreign schools will be attending; and in order to enter you need to be Seventeen or older therefore-"
"What?! That's bull!!!," Fred And George protested after quite a few angry murmurs; I swore Dumbledore winked at them
"-I will be drawing a age line around this," He swished his wand up at the box In front of him, out came a silver Goblet with rubies surrounding the top, blue fire swimming peacefully inside of it. "The pulling of the names will take place in two weeks, when our two other foreign guest schools arrive and the rules will be explained. Thank you let the feast begin," He waved his arms in the air platters and platters of gold lined every table with amazing food.
"This is what I'm talking about," Ron and I said hungrily both eating chicken legs and drinking from our goblets.
After the feast the atmosphere was heavy and buzzed with talking, even if everyone was stuffed like a turkey on Thanksgiving. I yawned widely followed by Ron, Hermione, and Harry we were the first ones to leave.
"It would be pretty amazing to be able to enter," Ron said dreamily as we separated, he and Harry went into the boys dorm.
"Amortia?," Hermione said crawling into her four poster after we changed into our pajamas. Girls were starting to show up one by one getting dressed and ready for bed.
"Mhh' Mione'?," I said sleepily covering up chin high with my gold and scarlet covers
"If you were of age, would you enter?," She questioned with a yawn.
"I would, just to solve riddles and what-not," Turning on my side "But Eternal Glory isn't my thing,"
