Yuri !!! At Hogwarts

Chapitre 7: Last Day

"You can do it," I encouraged him. 

Phichit was standing in front of the Goblet of Fire. Today was the last day for the students to apply as champion candidate. The result would be annouced tomorrow in the evening. Before Phichit could move an inch, a familiar figure made its way to the Goblet. Yurio put a paper in the the fire and smirked in triumph.

"Is everyone here to apply ?" He looked at me. "Wait, forget it. Not long time no see, little piglet !"

"We saw each other yesterday," I ignored the insult.

"But you haven't change one bit. I, on the other hand, am already better thant I was. Progressing, that's what's important !" He shouted to everyone.

"Not better ?" I took my wand out of my pocket. I aimed it at Yurio's shirt and tought about a color that would suit him a bit more.

"Colovaria !" I exclaimed.

To everyone's surprise, including mine, Yurio's tee-shirt —the one with a tiger— turned baby pink. He started to scream and cursed in Russian. He aimed his wand at me.

All the noise must have alerted a teacher because I found myself in the director's office in no time. Yurio was seating next to me and Professor Celestino was facing us.

"Care to explain ?" He was staring at Yurio's top.

"Well,—" I was cut off by Yurio.

"He attacked me ! Pointed his wand right at my heart. It scared the hell out me. We never know what he might have learned in Japan. Dangerous curses, maybe."

"I didn't attack you, I was only proving a point."

"It's true that the «colovaria» spell is not considered dangerous. But even so, you can't use it at another student, especially someone from the Beauxbatons Academy or the Durmstrang Institute. We wouldn't want to give them a bad impression of Hogwarts, wouldn't we ?"

"Yes, sir."

"If that's settled, then I'll let you too go for now. I'll deal with Yuuri and Miss Baranovskaya will take care of Yuri."

We both exited the office as an awkward silence followed us.

"I put my name in the Goblet of Fire." I annouced.

"You what ?!?"

"I put my name in the Goblet of Fire." I repeated.

"I know ! I mean, why would you tell me this ?"

"I haven't told anyone."

"Even your crazy hamster friend ?"

"That's not...yeah, even him."

"Then why me ? That's absurd. We barely know each other. I don't care a bit about it."

"Wouldn't it be fun to face each other again ?"

"I admit I did like it," he grumbled.

"Then let's hope to be selected, together." I extended a hand. He didn't take it.

"I'm not your friend, little piglet !" He laughed and left.

I heard foosteps and turned around. It was Professor Celestino.

"Wait, Yuuri !"

"What is it ?"

"The «colovaria» spell you performed... Did you succeed ?"

"Would the «Punk of Beauxbatons» wear a baby pink shirt ?"

"You did. I think...I think you might be interested about something. This spell is an advanced level spell. Not what a fourth year would learn. Transfiguration is hard, you see. You seem to have unexpected abilities in this kind of magic. Professor Okukinawa holds a class for advanced students every Wednesday and I would like you to attend it today."

"Hai sir."

"Good. Then, I shall excuse myself. Have a good day, mister Katsuki."

"You, too, Professor Celestino."

It was third day of school and I already had a nemesis, a best friend and was taking an advanced class. I worked fast.

I joined Phichit for lunch.

"After you left, I decided to put my name in the Goblet of Fire. Isn't that cool ?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"What's your punishment for the whole spell thing ? Are stuck with detention ?"

"No. In fact, I'll take an advanced class."

"Really ? With who ?

"Professor Okukinawa. It'll be a Transfiguration class."

"That's good. But hey, will you put your name in Goblet ?"

"I kind of... never mind."

For some reason, I couldn't tell him. It's not like I felt ashamed of what I did. I was only scared of what I did. I acted on impulse. I never did this kind of thing. I needed to sort it out. To talk about it with someone. 

As soon as I was done eating, I went to search for him. Viktor.

"I have to talk to you about something," I told him.

"Sure !" He smiled and follwed me. We exited the school and went to the spot where I practiced my magic earlier. We sat on a rock.

"So, what is it ?" 

"I feel different."

"What do you mean ?"

"I'm starting to act on impulse. It's been three times already. I don't understand what's happening. Why am I acting like this ?" He put a hand on my back to confort me.

"What did you do ?"

"I put my name in the Goblet of Fire. I casted a spell at Yurio. I talked to you without thinking when I first saw you."

"Is one of these things bad ?"

"I don't...think so."

"Then don't worry about it. You know what ? I put my name in the Goblet of Fire too. We should go to the announcement together. Maybe it would help you to worry less ?"

"Thanks, Viktor you're a real friend."

"I wonder what happened to this leaf ?" He picked up a leaf. A blue one. "It's the same color as my eyes'. This plant is not natural. It's magic."

"Yes, it is."
