Triwizard Tournament

"Have you heard the news?" I asked Newt, while putting my head onto his shoulder.

"What news? That I got yet another detention?"

"No no, that's not news. You see, some students are going France for a special occasion! Want to sign up with me?" I sit myself in front of him, looking into his eyes.

"France? I'd love to go! What for? Are you going to get me killed?"

"Pfft. No. Well, I'm not trying to, anyways. I want to have a go at the Triwizard Tournament!"

"No."

"What? Why not!"

"I won't let you put yourself in danger for some stupid game!"

"Come on, I won't get killed. I probably won't even get chosen. Let's go!" I grabbed his hand, pulling him up from his comfortable spot on the floor. I then dragged him down the halls of Hogwarts until seeing the sheet which had few names on it. I placed mine upon the yellowing sheets, Newt sighing, putting his on under mine.

"I hate that you dragged me into this. I swear, if you get killed, I will never forgive myself."

"Awe, you care about me?"

"Of course I do, you're my best friend." His words hurt my heart, and I knew all too well why.

"Well, let's get packed! We leave tomorrow!"

"What-"

"France sure is lovely, isn't it."

"I still cannot believe you've dragged me into this," Newt whispered, sitting himself down beside me.

"Welcome, students. Hogwarts, Durmstrang. Our halls our open to you, but only if you respect our rules," their head mistress went on about the school rules. One being no sneaking out, which I chuckled at as it was common for me to sneak out of Hogwarts. "Now, to be chosen for the tournament, you must place your name in our own goblet of fire. It is in our dance hall, so please, feel free to put your name into it. It is protected by a spell which will blast all who are too young to enter, so watch out! Have a great time at Beauxbatons!" Everyone cheered, and left the dining hall.

I looked around the castle, Newt on my trail. "Here we are!" I took out a piece of parchment, putting my name on it. I placed my name into the goblet, and cheers erupted from the people around.

Newt looked at me, waving his hand for me to come to him. I did, and then he dragged me to the outside of the school.

"It's lovely out here. More peaceful than Hogwarts and the forbidden forest."

"Yea, you're right. Just look around! A forest that doesn't look deadly!" I laughed, Newt's laugh joining in. "Let's go explore it!"

"I swear--(Y/N)! COME BACK HERE!" I took off running, as I heard Newt's footsteps chasing after mine.

Once in the forest, I caught my breath, Newt catching up to me. "(Y/n), you are the actual worst!"

"Oh shut up, you love me."

"You caught me!" He put his hand over his heart and swooned dramatically.

"Newt, you know what I'm guessing are in the forests?"

"Magical creatures? Oh please let it be magical creatures!"

"Right on the nose! Come on Hufflepuff, let's find you some magical creatures."

We went further into the forest, making sure to mark our way with small stones. The forest was lovely, fresh dirt below my feet, crunching with each step I took. Fresh air, scented with pine. Trees, 100s of feets tall. Newt, by my side.

"(Y/n)! Look!" I turned my head to the side, where Newt's voice came from. "It's a mooncalf!"

"Oh it so cute!"

"I'm going to catch it."

"Newt, Newt no."

"Newt yes!"

"Newt!" I whispered harshly. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, "Look at him. he's dancing! Let him dance!"

"But-"

"After he dances."

"Fine," he huffed. We watched the little guy dance, and it was very adorable. Newt couldn't stop staring, yet in all honesty, I couldn't help but stare at him.

"You got the damn thing now what?" I questioned.

"I keep him," Newt defended.

"Where though!" He shrugged. I face palmed, yet we continued to make our ways down the unknown halls.

"(Y/n) Maze!" I looked up, confused as to why my name was being shouted. People started cheering, and all I wanted was something to eat. "You've been chosen for the triwizard tournament!"

"Oh fuck," I heard Newt whisper.
