the goblet's decision 🦋✨📘🪄
THE ENTRANCE HALL WAS SWARMING WITH STUDENTS THE NEXT MORNING. The Goblet was drawing the attention of the entire student body to the Entrance Hall early on a Saturday morning. That also included Harry, Ron and Hermione who made their way down there along with everyone else.
There were about twenty people milling around the Goblet inspecting it. Some of them had not bothered to finish their breakfast to do so nibbling on toast as they all stood fascinated by the Goblet. Well, all but Electra Deveraux who stood leaning against the wall near the stairs, nose buried in a well-worn book.
Harry walked the short distance away from his friends to greet the Ravenclaw, "Hey Electra,"
Electra looked up from her book blinking a few times before greeting him, "Oh hey Harry,"
"Erm what are you reading?" he asks, scratching behind his ear after a few seconds of silence.
Electra looks shocked by the question for a second before answering, "Erm ... Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen,"
Before Harry can say anything else Ron walks over before asking Electra a question excitedly, "Anyone put their name in yet?"
"Uh, all the Durmstrang lot," Electra answers gesturing in the Goblet's direction, "But I wouldn't be surprised if they all put Krum's name in," she went on before pausing and continuing to answer the question, "But no one from Hogwarts yet unless I missed it,"
"Bet some of them put in last night after we'd all gone to bed," Harry suggested, "I would've done, if it had been me ... wouldn't have wanted everyone watching. What if the Goblet just gobbled you right back out again?"
Electra laughs lightly at that, "It wouldn't do that," she assures, "Maybe if you were under seventeen though," she pointed at the golden age line circling the Goblet.
Then Fred, George and Lee Jordan burst down the stairs with a laugh drawing the attention of the whole room. Electra returned to her book Harry only heard her scoff when they mentioned the ageing potion they had made. Hermione was quick to comment on the fact that the ageing potion wouldn't work.
Harry saw her leave, an arm swung around her sister's shoulder as he made his way to breakfast. He only saw her once more before the feast on the way to Hagrid's walking with her sister and father around the grounds.
