When Snow Turns To Spring «Draco Malfoy»

«05»

It had been three days since I realized I was connecting with the mudblood Leora in my dreams. I couldn't figure out why though and I hadn't decided on if I was going to tell her or not.

I took a step back from her and just watched her though. I ordered Pansy to stop approaching her otherwise she might get suspicious. I hadn't told anyone why this was I couldn't risk it. It was still weird as to why we were connecting this way.

Then the day came for the competitors of the triwizard tournament to be chosen.

Even if I was of age I wouldn't put my name in that. Anyone who did was a fool.

Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, and Cedric Diggory were all chosen. At least it would be interesting. My money is on Krum.

Then another name popped out of the goblet.

" Harry Potter..." Dumbledore said softly.

I watched as Harry staggered up. He looked terrified. As he should be. What a cheat he's not even old enough!

I was happy to see I wasn't the only one who thought that as other people said the same as he awkwardly walked away to receive further instructions.

The goblet suddenly lit up once again, it glowed a mix of bright green and silver before another slip of paper came out. What more could happen? There's only supposed to be three wizards.

Dumbledore stormed back to the goblet, his face was full of concern.

" Leora Rivers."

My eyes widened and I shot a lot directly at her. Her face looked pale. For someone so tough she looked like she was about to pass out. Hermione and Ron shoved her up as she staggered towards Dumbledore she looked as though she was trying to say something to him but he dismissed her and she quickly rushed following Harry. Harry put a hand on her arm and led her away as they both whispered to each other.

As soon as the teachers left the hall erupted with discussion over what we all just saw.

" I always knew she was such a show off" Pansy scoffed beside me. " That brat can't help but be the center of attention"

" Shut up Pansy." I said as I stood up and left the hall.

My heart was beating so hard I could have sworn I was going to pass out.

" Are you okay?" Harry asked with his hand on my arm. I shook my head.

" Harry did... did you?"

" No.... did you?"

I shook my head. " There's a reason they made it only for 17 year olds... you don't think they'll actually make us compete right? There must be a mistake and they'll just sit us out." I said trying to think rationally.

" Harry.." Dumbledore said as he and the other professors made their way into the room. " Did you put your name in the goblet of fire?" He asked calmly.

Harry shook his head. " No sir."

" Leora..?" He said turning his head towards me.

I shook my head as well. " N-No sir.."

" They're obviously lying!" Madame Maxime said angrily.

" We're not! There wasn't even a way for us to get across the age line, let alone put our names in it! And if there is a spell we definitely don't know it." I said defensively.
