Lady Black (Sirius Black's Daughter)

Why does everything always happen to Harry?

Easter break had ended without anyone else finding out about our twins. The reason for that might be that I did my best to avoid Dad and Remus and if I talked to Dora it would usually be about Remus or classes or her auror training. Put all of these things together with a bit of help from Bill, Charlie, George and Fred and voila. No one finds out.

Of course I have had to talk to Charlie bacause his Mum now knows, but he was okay with it. He says it's probably for the best. And indeed it comes in handy. She has given me lots of advice already and has told me what I should buy before the babies arrive. It's nice to have such a motherly person in your live, especially if you have never gotten the chance to get to know your own mother... I suppose Harry feels the same way.

Speaking of Harry... In the past few weeks, he's been having strange things happening to him. First there was the issue with Mr. Crouch. Harry said he had been walking with Viktor at the edge of the Forbidden Forrest. He shouldn't have been there in the first place. Then they had stumbled upon Mr. Crouch mumbling nonsense. Harry had left Viktor with Crouch so he could go get Dumbledore but then there was the problem of Snape. That man seems to always find a way to be trouble. The git had held Harry up, causing him not being able to get to Dumbledore fast enough and then being left to find Crouch gone and Viktor stunned.

Harry had written Dad about all of this but the only thing my old man could say was to keep away from the forrest and not be out after hours, to be cautious, to practice spells and make sure he's ready for the third task.

Then a few days later he had a dream during his divignation class. The dream had included Wormtail, Voldemort and Voldemort's snake, Nagini. Harry's scar had hurted when he got the dream and that's the wost worrying part. Scars aren't supposed to keep hurting after thirteen years. They can hurt while they are healing but then it should stop. Then again, what's ever normal when it comes to Harry?
He had gone straight to Dumbles to tell him about the dream but the headmaster only said that he believed there to be a connection between Harry and Voldy and that Harry gets these visions/pains when Voldy feels a strong emotion.

The twentyfourth of June was approaching quickly and I could feel it. The pregnancy is beginning to take a toll on me. I'm tired or emotional or I crave for Charlie to be with me... there's always something. Also when I'm not hiding my tummy I feel very unbalanced. It's normal according to Molly. I've gained about ten pounds and I look so big now. I can't wait for my babies to come out.

Charlie and I have also been talking about babynames and godparents. We want the babies to have names that fit together nicely and that don't sound strange with our last name. Well, it's Charlie's last name for now but after we're married I'm hyphening my name. It's easier that way to maintain my status at the ministry and still show my connection to Charlie. At the moment we haven't come up with any first names though so we're open for suggestions. The middle names will come from their godparents which is another struggle. I think we'll have one kid with two Godfathers and the other with a godfather and a godmother. We were thinking about having Bill, Fred and George as godfathers and Nymphadora as a godmother. We still have to aske them about it though.

The babynames would probably end up like this: something William Fredrick Weasley and something George Dorion Weasley. Although I'm not sure about the Dorion' part. How are you supposed to turn Nymphadora to a male name?

Anyhow... the third task is coming up. The students have been having exams and the third task will be the day after their last test. Harry has told me he has been practising a lot of spells but has asked me to help him study more. His spells go quite well but the other competitors still have the adventage of being older. They already know more about magic and therefore know more things that could help them.

Harry has been getting advice from lots of people though. Dad told him what jinxes he should learn and some defensive spells. Remus insisted upon the importance of guiding charms to make sure he doesn't get lost in whatever he has to do. Hermione has taught him some healing spells in case he gets injured and I, well I've been helping him perfect each spell and charm along with some old family curses that are strictly for emergencies.

I hope he is ready for the task...

The morning of the final part of the tournament had everyone running around with a smile except for those who had to worry. I personnally am one of the latter group. I really hope Harry'll be alright. He barely ate breakfast before we all left to the maze. Yes, indeed I said maze. Apparently the third task includes all the champions inside the maze trying to find the Goblet of Fire. The first one to find it is the winner. I honestly couldn't care less about that Goblet, my only wish is that no one gets hurt.

Harry and Cedric were the first two to enter the maze as they had been tied first place. Viktor went in after them and lastly Fleur. After a few minutes I started looking around in the stands and noticed something. Moody was leaving. I kept my gaze on him and decided to follow him. Perhaps that wasn't the brightest idea 'cause next thing I know, I got stuck inside the maze.
