15 | I Believe You

"Sit down please. And now the moment you've all been waiting for, the champions selection!" Dumbledore approaches the blue flame and it glows red. A name comes out. Everyone looks on anxiously. "The Durmstrang champion is ... Viktor Krum!" The Durmstrang crowd cheer. Another name comes out. "The champion from Beauxbatons... Fleur Delacour." The Beauxbatons girls cheer as Fleur walks up. Another name comes out. "The Hogwarts champion... Cedric Diggory." All the hogwarts students cheer as Cedric takes the stage.

"Excellent! we now have our three champions! But in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this vessel of victory the triwizard cup!" People cheer, but the goblet glows red once more and another name flies out. Dumbledore takes it and reads, "Harry Potter. Harry Potter? Harry Potter!" Harry slowly walks up and Dumbledore gives him the paper. Voices in the crowd shout out, "He's a cheat! He's not even seventeen yet." Harry makes eye contact with me and I could tell he was confused about what was happening. "Can't believe he somehow got his name in there?" Draco spits as we all leave to our rooms. "I don't think he knows either. The look on his face, he was confused and scared." Draco turns around to face me. "And you know this for sure?" I sigh, "Yes, Draco. You know why? Because I'm always right." I pat his shoulder walking past him.

While I was getting ready for bed, Pansy makes her way into the room. "Listen, I don't know what's going on between you and Draco... But I don't like it one bit. You two are supposed to hate each other after Honeydukes, yet still act as frenemies. He supposed to pay attention to only one girl and that is me and only me." I can't help but chuckle, "Wendy thinks different. She likes him too." She makes disgust look on her face. "Just stop being nice to him." She leaves the room. "I mean, she is sorta right Maddy. You avoided Draco at all cost after Honeydukes, and now you two are back to your frenemies stage." Ava says from her bed. "Actually he's slightly even nicer to you. Sitting next to you in class, sitting next to us at the table, having actual conversations with you that doesn't include arguing." Evelyn adds. "Girls, yes it's slightly different between us but we still despise each other. We are total opposites and if we stay around each other for too long then we fight."

The next morning I find Harry up in one of the towers like he asked me to meet him. "I didn't put my name in and I don't even know how my name got put in there." He says as soon as he sees me. "I believe you Harry. I mean the look you had on your face, you couldn't fake that even if you wanted to. Harry, who ever put your name in that is not on your side. This tournament is deadly and to be honest I don't even know why it exist still because people die." I tell him and he sighs. "Ron, doesn't believe me." He says shocking me. "Your one best friend doesn't believe you? I get that every year something happens to you and you come out on top, but this tournament you didn't even want to be in when it was time for us." He nods his head, "Exactly, now I have to go through this and everyone hates me." I wrap my arms around him. "I don't and I got your back, Harry." He gives me a hug back, "Thank you Madeline. You're the only blood family I got that cares about me." I give him a smile, "That's what family does and that doesn't include you know who. I still can't believe we are cousins." He laughs, "I know, Snape is my uncle because of you."
