Dictating Fate

Chapter six

Albus had to cover his eyes a bit, not ready for the lights. He squinted, finally being able to go inside after the photographer and reporter for the newspaper moved out of the way. Violette and Gellert quickly went in as well.

They saw their headmaster, who seemed to be explaining something. When he turned, he told the three to sit down since they were here for a photo shoot and interview.

Violette, Gellert, and Albus all just looked at each other for a moment before doing as told. Violette chose to sit down, while Gellert and Albus remained standing. They all just kinda looked at the camera, but the photographer sighed. "You three look so dead. Come on, show a bit of life for the camera." The cameraman said. They all just looked at each other once more before they smiled.

Gellert and Albus tried to pose as well. Gellert put his arm around him in a friendly way, and Albus allowed it. After a few more photos were taken, Gellert let go and the interviewer went over to them.

"To think that I'm getting the chance to and meet the person who will go down in history...so exciting." The man said. "Now today I'm going to just interview each of you, the people want to know as much as they can about the contestants...Let's start with...hm...you." He told, looking at Violette.

She nodded before standing up. The person took her to the far corner of the room, letting her take the only chair that was in the corner. The man leaned against the wall, letting a quick notes quill do the writing for him. "Now, tell me your name and the school you're from first."

"Oh uh, I'm from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and my name is Violette page." She said, watching as the pen wrote quickly.

"And what made you want to join such a dangerous tournament?" he asked, "Don't you think that everything here is too dangerous for a young lady like yourself?" He asked.

"Uhh...well, either way, someone from my school would have been picked. So I wouldn't really say that it's too dangerous for females because it's really dangerous for anyone...and what made me join? Well, I always love challenges. And the thought of coming over here to the UK was also a nice idea." She answered before crossing her arms a bit.

"Right, right. Now, the first challenge will be tomorrow. How do you feel about that?"

"Well, I'm still not sure what we're going to do, but I think I'll be ready for it. The main thing is keeping my eye on the prize."

She answered, she was going to say more but the man kept bombarding her with more questions, though, she didn't think he realized all that much. She tried her best to form the answers in her head, but he was talking too fast, and English wasn't her first language.

"Sir, I'm sorry but I can't keep up with what you're saying." She said. The man stopped talking at once when she did.

"Oh, my apologies. My main question is, how do you think everything will play out. Who do you think will end up playing and not make it back in one piece."

"Well hopefully no one, I didn't enter to die. I entered to win and hopefully use my magic to the best of my abilities." She said.

"Okay, Thank you so much for answering questions." He said, holding his hand out to shake hers.

She got up before shaking his hand, having a smile put on her face so it wouldn't be awkward. After she walked back to the other two, she watched as their conversation got interrupted by the reporter who grabbed the male with brightish blonde hair next. As he got dragged to the corner of the room, Gellert gave Albus an apologetic smile before answering mostly the same questions he had asked Violette.

Albus just brushed it off before overhearing their questions, hearing the first challenge was tomorrow. In less than twenty-four hours, he would do something he never expected to do in his final year...
