Dumbledore's my granddad!? (A Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 5

After sitting down in the pitch I watched as each competitor competed until it was finally Harry's turn. Harry was failing to begin and I worried for him until he called his broom then everything escalated onto the dragon getting free and flying amok around the school. Harry beat the dragon and won First place along with Victor Krum from Durmstrang institute and Cedric came second while Fleur, the girl from the all girl school, Beauxbatons academy of magic came third. It was brilliant I was so happy for Harry.

Everyone cheered in the common room lifting Harry up high as he had won first place. My brothers Fred and George lifted him higher into the cheering crowd. Seamus handed Harry the golden egg he had won, it was supposed to hold a clue for the next trial.

"Go on Harry! What's the clue?" Seamus exclaimed.

Harry looked at it fondly. "Who wants me to open it?" Harry asked the crowd excitedly.

The crowd cheered loudly. "You want me to open it?" Harry exclaimed.

The crowd cheered more, me along with them cheered. Harry put his hands around the egg and twisted. It popped open making a screeching sound. Everyone screamed holding their ears and beginning to freak out, Harry nearly dropped the enchanted egg trying to close it.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked looking quite annoyed at Harry from across the room. They had a big falling out since Harry became one of the Triwizard tournament contestants. Ron seemed to think Harry was the one who put his name in the cup, wanting eternal glory. Even more winnings to add to his list is what Ron had said to me privately. I think Ron was just really jealous. Everything got awkward real fast and One of the twins began to send everyone off to bed to give the boys some space. I left for my room wanting to forget the way Malfoy said those words.

"Game on Crawford...Game on."

What did he mean by Game on? The words wouldn't get out of my head they seemed to replay over and over again until I eventually fell asleep..

In the morning when Harry, Ron, Hermione and I where eating are breakfast, Yes Harry and Ron seemed to have made up after their falling out and now everything was back to normal... or back to the way it was anyway. What annoyed me was no one seemed to notice the most embarrassing fact that Harry was totally staring and practically drooling at Cho-Chang. Wow...That boy had it bad... He even spat out his drink all over himself, of course Cho-Chang's friends laughed but Cho-Chang told them to be quiet obviously she liked Harry too. Gosh, what is it with people and expressing their feelings I mean if you like someone and its obvious they like you back then I say go for it. Hermione distracted me by proclaiming about how the Daily prophet had some disaster in the making, juicy comments about Hermione's love life with Harry Potter and Victor Krum. As if Hermione had a love life with Harry while Harry was head over heels (If he wore any) For Cho! Then suddenly a wee kid named Nigel came over and handed Ron a package, Then one to me as well.

"Thank you, Nigel!" Ron exclaimed.

"What is this?" I asked.

I was about to open it when I saw that the kid Nigel seemed to be having a fan boy moment staring at Harry Potter in glee as if asking for something. Ron sent Nigel away, everyone stared at Ron.

"I told him I would get him Harry's autograph...." Ron explained, Hermione sighed. Ron and I began opening our packages.

"Look, mum sent us something?" Ron said looking happily confused. Then once the package was opened Ron looked horrified.

"Mum sent me a dress?!" He said in a horrified manner. I looked in mine to find a beautiful red silk gown with black glittering sparkles hinting from it in the light. WOW!

"This has to be yours?!" Ron freaked.

"Nope, mine is a dress too. Sorry brother!" I laughed.

"It matches your eyes!" Harry laughed.

"Then Ginny these must be for you!" Ron exclaimed looking worried.

"Eww...No, why would I wear that?! It's ghastly!" Ginny exclaimed from down the table.

"They're not for Ginny, they're for you." Hermione seemed to hold in a laugh. While Fred and George laughed loudly. Practically everyone in the hall was laughing.

"Dress robes!" Hermione explained to Ron.

"Dress robes? For what?!" Ron asked looking peeved.

Later we where told of the up coming Yule ball for the hundredth time. Professor McGonagall explained how we needed to know how to dance. Ron mocked her a bit so she showed him who was boss when she got him up to dance with her. I was close to peeing myself laughing. So was the rest of my Gryffindor year. The dance was supposed to be a night for all schools to get together and have fun. ugh!....Don't get me wrong dances are fun, just not when it is awkward if you don't get asked to one. It is even worse when you do sometimes, then you have to sit and be careful of your every move to make sure you don't do something stupid. Well I guess I got the dress for nothing because either way...I wasn't going!

*     *     *     *     *     *

Later in the week everyone seemed to be in a dance excitement. From rumours of Neville Long bottom dancing in his pyjamas at night to Harry and Ron's how to ask a girl to dance speculation.... Idiots. It also ranged from Victor Krum getting harassed by a bunch of girls wanting him to ask them to the dance. I unfortunately didn't get asked...Awkward.... Suddenly George is next me in the great hall for dinner and pulls my hair. "HEY! Not cool, bro." I exclaim in a agitated way.

"Aww... Has little Erica not got a date to the dance yet?" He laughed, joking around.

"Yeah, hey George?...." I laughed, in a way which suggested I wanted something.

"What...?" He asked unsure to answer. "What do you want now?" He laughed.

"Because you are an amazing big brother could you bring me as your date just so I can get in to the dance?" I asked.

"No, Erica! I'm not even going!" He said sternly but he looked just about to crack a smile.

"PLEASE!!!!!" I exclaimed doing the pouty puppy face.

"Ugh! Fine! Ok, I will take you just stop annoying me!" He laughed.

"Yay! Best brother ever!" I exclaimed.

"You know I'm hardly your brother..." He murmured.

"I know but lets pretend you are." I smiled hugging my (Brother).
