[name] was sitting in the Great Hall at the Slytherin table, joking and messing around with his friends. It was his fourth year back at Hogwarts and he couldn't be more happy to get away from his dreadful and controlling mother and father. To be back with his friends was wonderful.

He looked across the Hall and smiled at the glasses wearing boy at the Gryffindor table. He was another reason he was happy to be back. They were dating, had been for a short few months. At first he had hated Potter and wanted nothing to do with him as he listened to all the Slytherins rage about how bad of a guy he was. Then [name] met him himself and he couldn't keep himself away.

The only people that understood his love for the Gryffindor boy were his friends. The rest of Slytherin would make small remarks and sneer at him whenever he entered the room, as if dating Potter had been a crime against the house. Harry caught his eyes and a small smile graced his lips, making [name]'s heart flutter.

Dumbledore dinged his glass and [name] quietened down as all the attention was drawn to the front of the hall. "Now that 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."

Professor Filch came running down the middle of the hall, holding his stomach as he was out of breath. [name] snickered at the man before listening back in to what Dumbledore was saying.

"You see, Hogwarts has been chosen..." Dumbledore stopped as Filch ran straight towards him and whispered something into his ears. They mumbled quietly back and forth for a moment before Filch was sent running back down the hall. "So, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, the Triwizard Tournament. Now, for those of you who do not know the Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. For each school a single student is selected to compete. 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."

[name]'s eyes had lit up excitedly. This Tournament sounded awesome and he definitely wanted to put his name down. He could easily beat all these other people from different schools.

"For now, please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their headmistress Madame Maxime!"

The hall doors opened once again and a group of girls wearing light blue dresses came strolling in, their hands behind their back and a sweet smile on their faces. [name] rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. All the other guys were memorised by them but not him. He looked back towards Harry to see what reaction he was giving and felt his jaw clench. Harry looked just as star struck as the rest of them. Staring at the girls as if they were something special when in [name]'s opinion, they really weren't... or maybe that was just his jealousy speaking.

They all made it to the front, ending their little performance and as everyone clapped, [name] simply glared at them, keeping his hands crossed. There was a snicker heard next to him and suddenly Malfoy was saying to him, "looks like Potter isn't as interested in you as I thought. Can't blame him. You aren't anything decent."

[name] whipped his head to the side. "Back away, Malfoy before I hex you." He warned and he was completely serious. He didn't care how much trouble he would get in. Draco backed away from him and [name] was left to pout and sulk in his own thoughts as the next school came in.

From the Gryffindor table, Harry dragged his eyes away from the girls and looked at [name], frowning when he saw he looked upset. "I wonder what's wrong." He mumbled.

Hermione sighed, having seen what happened. "Maybe he doesn't appreciate his boyfriend gawking at girls." She said harshly.

"I wasn't gawking!" Harry exclaimed with a blush on his cheeks. "I mean, I didn't mean to. Is that really what you think is wrong? He's jealous?"

"Well, I know if I were him, I would be jealous to." She snipped. Harry looked down at his food with guilt.

Once all the festivities were over, [name] was leaving the hall with his friends but only stopped when he heard someone yelling for him to wait. He didn't want to but he did so reluctantly and turned with a fake smile. "Hey, Harry. I missed you over the Summer."

Harry didn't reply to him and just hugged him, making [name] look at him with surprise. "I'm really sorry about looking at the girls. I promise it won't happen again. You're the only one I want to look at." He rushed out.

[name] cleared his throat as his friends smirked at him and said they would meet him back in the common room. "I don't care. You can look if you want." He said flippantly. He didn't want to come off as some insecure jealous guy.

Harry could see right through him and shook his head. "You don't have to hide from me. I know you're upset. You can say it." He said, just wanting [name] to be open with him.

"I said I don't care." He slightly snapped back. "Look, I'm tired and I want to go to bed, I'll see you in class tomorrow." Harry grabbed him into another hug to stop him from leaving, clinging onto him tightly. "Harry..."

"I don't want to look at anyone else." Harry said firmly, only loosening his grip a small bit so he could look at his boyfriend's face. "I only want you."

[name] untensed himself, letting that anger and fear leave him. He was already afraid Harry would realise he could have anyone else and dump [name] after [name] had fallen even more for him. With all the new prospects in the school, it made his mind wander to places that were kind.

"I'm just a no good Slytherin. You'll realise that one day."

"You're not some no good Slytherin you're my Slytherin and that's not changing anytime soon." Harry smiled at him, leaning forward and kissing his cheek.

[name] smiled back, feeling Harry's warmth. He didn't want to let him go now but unfortunately Snape wasn't too fond of seeing them and snarled, "you two! Get to your dorms immediately."

Harry frowned in annoyance but pulled back. "Save me a seat tomorrow in Defence Against the Dark Arts?"

[name] took one more moment to run his hand through Harry's new shaggy hair and nodded. "You got it." Harry gave him another kiss on the cheek before running off in the direction of his common room.

With a new skip in his step, [name] walked towards his common room, a confidence surrounding him that no one could break.
