The Goblet of Fire//Draco X Reader

4 - Home Again!

"Anything from the trolly? Anything from the trolly?" An old womans voice calls out as she pushes a cart of candy down the corridor of the Hogwarts Express.

Ron stands from his seat next to you, as does Harry from across. You watch as they get their food, and a young woman with tan skin and black hair walks up to get food. She smiles at your brother, who grows flustered. You giggle as Harry closes the door to the train compartment, and he shoots you a warning glare.

"This is horrible, how can the ministry not know who conjured it. Isn't there any security or?" Hermione huffs, slapping the newspaper in her hands. A picture of Voldemorts mark is on the front page, and you cast you gaze back to the window. The pain comes back to your head, and you see Harry rubbing his scar as well.

"Loads according to Dad, that's what worried them so much. Happened right under their noses." As Ron speaks, Hermione looks between you and your brother.

"Your scars are hurting again, arent they?"

"We're fine." Harry replies, leaning against the doorway as Hedwig caws in her golden cage. Her white feathers reflect the sunlight that pours through the window, and you continue to avoid the conversation. But Hermione brings you back to it.

"You know Sirius will want to hear about this. What you saw at the world cup, and the dreams you each had." You glance at her, then over to Harry. You had the same dream of the snake, the same voice, and the same....odd spell. Still, Harry hadnt seen what you did at the World Cup. You get out a quill and parchment, and quickly scribble a letter to your father. It feels normal, as you had frequently wrote him this summer.

As you finish the letter, you write your dads name on the envelope. You hand it to Hedwig, then open the window. Off the owl flies, heading far into the distance with the news for Sirius.

*Time Skip*

After everyone had taken their bags to their dorms, you congregate in the courtyard. Everyone pushes themselves against the archway that work as windows, leaning out to see a magnificent carriage fkying through the air. Snow white pegasi pull the vehicle, and its quite the sight to behold.

"Now theres something you dont see everyday!" Fred exclaims, looking out at the landing cart. As people begin to disperse to the Great Hall, you hear the vigorous splash of water in the Black Lake. You look out, seeing a pirate ship of red and brown with golden decor emerge from the depths, as if in a reverse sinking. You beam at it, rather excited to see why all these people are arriving.

*Time Skip*

You sit at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, just after the Sorting Ceremony. Of course, no one else had been sorted into Dratheum as always, but thats expected. You are her heir, and everyone else has such a distinct blood-line and personality.

"Now we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement." Dumbledore says from his golden podium, hushing the many students in their black robes. This year, you wear the same uniform, only with a lilac interior and a dragon crest on your breast. "This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see Hogwarts has been choosen..."

The headmaster hushes his voice as Filch runs up to him in a comical manner, though it is the only way he can. He whispers something to the man, then runs off in the same stance. Dumbledore shakes his head, then continues to speak.

"So Hogwarts has been choosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard tournament. 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 choosen 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!"
