We were all seated together as always. My head was leaning on the window. I've been off lately due to the situation. I jerked hearing a voice. A voice calls out. "Anything from the trolley? Anything from the trolley?" The lady appears at our door. "Anything from the trolley dears?" She asked us stopping.
"Packet of drewbals and a liquorice wand." Ron said digging out his money. He glanced at his hand and looked sad. He doesn't have enough money. "On second thought, just the drewbals." He said finally.
I closed my eyes and my mind began spinning with worries. "It's alright I'll get it." I heard Harry offer. "Just the drewbals, thanks." Ron insisted.
"Two pumpkin pasties please." I looked to see a girl. Cho Chan. She and Harry met eyes and I see her smile. "Thank you." Cho said as the lady handed her her food. The ladies eyes met mine. "Anything sweet for you dear?" She asked. "No thank you Miss." I said closing my eyes again.
"This is horrible, how can the ministry not know who conjured it. Isn't there any security or?" Hermione asked bringing up his mark.
Why can't he just be dead? "Loads according to Dad, that's what worried them so much. Happened right under their noses." Ron answers. "Let's not talk about it." I said harshly. "It's creepy." I added softly trying to take focus off my panic.
I noticed Harry was rubbing his scar and wincing. Not a good sign. "It's hurting again isn't it, your scar?" Hermione asked.
"I'm fine." Harry said shaking it off. "You know Sirius will want to hear about this. What you saw at the world cup, and the dream." Hermione asked. "Dream?" I asked about the new information. Hermione looked at Harry and Harry at me.
"It was an old man, it was like I was seeing through his eyes. I saw Peter talking to Voldemort and then another guy I've never seen said he's complete some kind of mission for the Lord. He was there, but he wasn't exactly human. Then they killed the old man. It's just a dream." He explained.
Harry dreamed of rat tail with Voldemort who isn't exactly human. Harry, it's not just a dream. I wanted to warn him, but I can't tell them how I know. I've got to stop my father by myself.
No matter what he's doing.

We we're making our way inside Hogwarts when we see four flying horses flying through the air pulling a carriage coming in to land at Hogwarts. People began cheer as they ran to see. I found myself not caring to see. I heard Hagrid, "Clear the runway!"
I was about to walk over to Harry and the others when someone stepped in front of me and we collided. "Ouch." I mumbled as I fell backwards. "Sorry totally my fault." I said and then I looked up to see who it was.
Draco Malfoy. I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, you're here again this year? Why don't you just run away since that's what you do best." Draco taunted. "Was your dad at the tournament last night? Maybe in a black robe and a stupid mask?" I asked right back.
He looked at me at me shocked. "You know to keep quite if you want your secret safe as well." He whispered. I finally got to my feet. "Then just leave me alone. All I've ever wanted was not be with you people." I said in a whisper to keep quiet. His face changed from anger to sadness. "Not everyone gets that option." He mumbled.
I remembered how close we were when we were children. He was nice. He was even my first crush. I was a child. Then his father corrupted him to join his fight for the dark lord. My father. I'm sure Draco blames me. I've never thought that maybe he didn't want this life either, and he just can't get away like I could.
I opened my mouth to question the statement but was interrupted. "Hey? Zella is Draco messing with you?" Hermione asked as they returned to me. "Why would I? She's not worth it." He spat. Hermione scoffed. He left before I could hit him in the throat.
"What a bloody-" Ron started but I finished, "Idiot." I mumbled. "Are you okay?" Hermione asked. I nodded. "Let's go get seated inside." I said leading the way.
💀💀💀
"Now we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see Hogwarts has been chosen-" Dumbledore paused as a man runs up the aisle limping, it was slightly funny.
He whispers something to Dumbledore and leaves in the same fashion. Dumbledore continued, "So Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard tournament." He paused again as we all gasped and the whispers began.
"Now for those of you who do not know, the tri-wizard tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single contestant is selected to compete. Now let me be clear, if chosen you stand alone, and trust me when I say these contests are not for the faint hearted, but more of that later. For now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of magic and their headmistress Madam Maxime." He stopped and the doors opened.
A group of girls dressed in blue dance up the aisle and release butterflies into the air. They bow and we all applauds. "Blimey, that's one big woman." A student gasps as we see the headmistress Madam Maxime.
Once they were done Dumbledore cleared his throat gathering our attention again.
"And now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and the high master Igor Karkaroff." We turned to see more people. A series of older boys walk up the aisle brandishing bo staffs, twirling them around and periodically stabbing them into the ground with a spark effect.
Ron tensed and gasped, "Blimey it's him, Viktor Krum!" We looked over and sure enough it was. The boys breathe some fire. "Albus!" Their high master Igor smiled seeing him. Dumbledore smiled back just as warmly. "Igor." He said and they embrace.
"This is gonna be awesome." Ron comments.
