I Fell In Love With Harry Potter

Chapter 9:My 14th Birthday!

I woke up the next day realizing it was my 14th birthday. I got up, got dressed and headed downstairs. Everybody was already down stairs enjoying their breakfast. When they saw I was walking towards the table, they all sang started to sing "Happy Birthday." I blushed and walked over to Harry and sat down beside him. Zuric was waiting for me with a package on my plate. "Thank you Zuric." I said petting his head. He gave a hoot and headed off to the Owlery. I picked up the card and opened it. It said: Dear Brianna, On this day at 2:45 am I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who weighed 5 pounds and 17 ounces. You had a head full of black hair and was your father and I's bundle of joy. We were so happy when you were born. We are glad that you came into our lives. We remember so many things when you were little. It is so hard to believe you are grown up. Now we have to watch Brittany grow up too. We have BIG news for you. There will be another addition to the family. You are going to have a little brother born soon. He will be named Bentley Adam. We will send lots of pictures when he is born. Hope you are having a good time at Hogwarts. Love, Mom, Dad and Brittany.

P.S Hope you like the gift. You will be using it soon.

I closed the letter and felt tears coming to my eyes. "Are you okay?" Hermione asked me. "Yeah its just the letter my parents wrote me." I told her handing her the letter. I watched as Hermione, Ron and Harry all read the note. When they were finished they handed it back to me smiling. "That's sweet." She told me. "Yeah." I replied. "Open the gift now." Harry told me. I ripped open the wrapping paper and tried to get the box open but it was taped too much. Harry helped me get the tape off. "Thank You." I said giving him a kiss. "Your Welcome babe." He replied returing the kiss. I opened the box and saw a saw a beautiful set of robes. They were my favorite color purple. They had silver stars all over them. "Wow that is so pretty!" I heard Hermione squeal. "Yeah they are but what are they for?" I asked her. "I don't know maybe Professor Dumbledore will tell us soon." She replied. "Yeah I hope so." I replied back. At that same moment, Professor Dumbledore got up from his chair and made his way in front of the table. He cleared his throat loudly. "I'm pleased to announce that the Triwizard Tournament will be taken place here at Hogwarts."He said. The door opened and Filch and Snape were carrying in a big gold goblet. They carried it up to Professor Dumbledore and set it in front of him. "This is the Goblet of Fire. Students who are 18 will put their names in it to be drawn for the tournament." He continied."This DOES NOT mean any student who is not 18 wil not put their name in or ask an older student to put their name in for them." He said looking toward us. "I'm putting an age kine ariund it. If you try to put your name in you will grow a beard just like mine." He said smiling and drawing a circle around the goblet with his wand. "That's not fair we won't be 18 until April." Fred told us. "I am also pleased to announce that the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be joining us here for the competion." He said looking at his watch. "The should be here any minute. So Headboys and girls get your dormitories and meet us outside. I got up and followed Percy outside. Everyone was outside standing beside the lake waiting on our guests to arrive. "Look there in the sky." Ron said pointing to a shape forming in the clouds. I looked up and saw what looked like a flying house flying toward us. Everyone backed up to give them enough room. The carriage was a powder blue and looked like gigantic winged horses pulling it. It came to a stop and the huge doors opened. Out of the door came a really large woman. She had olive skinned face, black eyes, hair that was pulled back at the base of her neck and she was wearing black satin with opals gleaming at her throat and fingers. "My dear Dumbly-Dorr." She said making her way towards Professor Dumbledore. They shook hands and chatted. "My pupils." She said clapping her hands at the carriage. About a dozen boys and girls emerged fro mthe carriage, They all were wearing robes made of fine silk. "My horses only drink single-malt whiskey." She told him. 'I think our Care of Magical Creatures teacher Hagrid wil take care of that." He said waving a hand at Hagrid who bowed and went to tend to the horses."Good Good." She said revealing a row of white teeth. There were murmurs through out the crowd as we waited on Durmstrang. "Do you hear that?" Harry asked me. For a minute I didnt hear anything, Then there was an eerie sound followed by a muffled rumbling sound. "Look at the lake." Rom yelled pointing to it. There coming out of the lake was a large ship. It had an eerie look to it. A plank was being lowered onto the bank. They heard voices and saw tons of burly looking men walking off of the boat. They were all dressed in furs. The man that was leading them had a silver beard and goatee. "Professor Dumbledore how are you?" He asked shaking Dumbledore's hand. "i'm fime how about you Professor Karkaroff?" He asked. "Just good Just good." The man told him. He looked around at his students. "These are my students." He told him waving a hand at them. "Victor come along and get something to eat." He said to one of his students. I looked to who he was talking to and felt my mouth drop open. "That's Victor Krum!" I told Harry. He nodded his head and stood on his tippy toes to get a better look. "I can't believe he's here!" I could hear Ron say. "Yeah I know." I replied. We all folowed them into the castle. We went back into the Great Hall. "Make yourselves comfortable." Dumbledore told them. Victor Krum came over to our table and sat down across from Me, Harry Hermione and Ron. We introduced ourselves and chatted with him. His english was okay but we could understand what he said. Dumbledore tapped the goblet three times with his wand and put the casket over it. "If you wish to put your name in must write their name and school on a slip of paper and drop it into the goblet." He told us. "On Halloween the names will be announced. He clapped his hands and said"Now off to class Chop Chop!" I got up and went to the dormitory to get my books for class. I went inot my room and put the package in my suitcase. I got my books for Potions and Care of Magical Creatures and headed to class. Harry was waiting for me outside of the door. "Ready for Snape's class?" He asked me. "Not really." I replied. "Me either." He replied back. We walked to Snape's ready for the lectures to begin. When Snape saw us walk in his class hand-in-hand his look was priceless. He let us sit together and be partners. "Today class we will doing antidotes." Snape said looking around at the class. "Time will start now." Harry and I got to work. I looked over at Ron and Hermione. Their heads were together looking at the book and they were both putting ingredients in the cauldron. Snape was wlaking around and looking at everyone's antidote so far. When he got around to Me and Harry, he had a huge smile on his face. I was shocked seeing Snape smile like that. He went over to his desk, to grade papers from his other classes. There was a knock on the door. The door opened and Professor McGonagall walked in. She looked different. Her hair was down around her shoulders and she looked like she put on a little weight. She walked up to Snape's desk. "Severus I need to talk to you." She whispered. "Not now can't you see I have a class." He replied. "Yes but it's important."She said back. "Class I'll be right back." He said loudly. They walked out together closing the door behind them. "I wonder what they are saying." I told Ron and Hermione. "I know a way we can." Ron replied digging into his pocket. A minute later he pulled out what looked like a flesh colored string. "What is that?" I asked. "A Expandable Ear." Ron told me. "What does it do?" I asked. "It lets you hear converstions far away. Fred and George invented it." He told me. "Will it work?" Harry asked. "Let's see." He replied going over to he door. The string went under the door and a ear appeared at the end of the string. We put our heads together to hear what they were saying. "Severus I-I'm pregnant." I heard Professer McGonagall say. Hermione gasped loudly. "What? Is it mine?" Snape asked. "Yes it is." She replied. "How can this be?" Snape asked. "Remember that night after the staff party?" She asked. "Oh yeah." He replied. The conversation was interesting to listen to. When Snape was closer to the door, we hurried back to our seats. We finished what we left off when Snape walked in the door. He had a surprised look on his face. We were relieved he didn't know he heard the conversation. When the bell rang, we cleaned up our cauldron and headed to lunch. At lunch we discussed the conversation. "I can't believe it." I said to Harry, Ron and Hermione. "Yeah I know it's shocking." Hermione replied. "Expecially with Snape." Ron said shuttering. "Yeah I know." Harry replied. At the teacher table, we saw that they both were not sitting together. Professor McGonagall was crying and talking to Professor Trelawney and Professor Sprout. Professor Snap was at the opposite end not eating and looking down at Professor McGonagall alot. "Wow that must be awful for them." Hermione said, "Yeah I feel bad." I replied, "Us too." Harry replied back. "Should we tell them we know?" I asked. "We don't want them to be mad that we know but it would make them feel better that they know we know." Ron replied. We all three decided not to tell just yet. Dumbledore got up and went up to the goblet. The Great Hall got quiet fast. "It's now time to announce this years champions." He said tapping rhe goblet with his wand.
