•Samantha's POV•

Samantha woke up not paying too much thought on what happened last night. She simply knew it was just Malfoy being Malfoy.

She got up and got to breakfast since she had a class with the Ravenclaws in Astronomy first period.

She ate her oatmeal as the rest of her friends sat next to her.

"Hey Samantha, we didn't see you at the party last night." Hannah questioned.

"Hm-? Oh, oh yea I took my time in the lockers and was too tired to go. How was it?" She said lifting her head up giving her usual kind smile.

"OH IT WAS THE BEST! For once all of the houses were there, even some Slytherin. Yeah it's hard to believe but some of them aren't that bad." Hannah said picking up a piece of bacon and shrugged her shoulders. "You should've seen Mauricio and Jade," Hannah whispered. "They slow danced and you'd think he'd kiss her by now!"

"UGH! Shut it Hannah. If he doesn't want to then that's alright, if he does then that's fine too." Jade said turning away with a faint tint of pink in her cheeks.

"We should hurry a bit, Astronomy begins in 15 minutes and it's halfway across the school." Iris said looking down at her watch.

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 

They went to the their class and made it just in time.

The class room was a dome with a bewitched ceiling, much like the one in the Great Hall.

It was unusual today because the desks were up against the walls and their teacher, Ms. Rue Juno, made them gather in a circle.

Samantha quite enjoyed Ms. Juno, she was kind, intelligent, and a cool aunt that you would have dreamed of. She had shoulder length hair, sharp features, and night blue eyes and was very calm and laid back.

"Alright class. Today we are not going to be drowning ourselves in boring books for it is better to experience it then read about it. Come come!" She gathered the class closer. "Everyone grab a blanket or two, and some pillows and gather in circle laying down."

Samantha was intrigued by this.

Even though they only had her twice a week, her lessons were the most fascinating one.

Everyone came closer and laid their blankets.

Samantha, Iris and Hannah sat next to each other.

However, when Samantha looked over her shoulder, she saw that Jade and Mauricio were actually sitting next to each other.

Quite awkwardly with their hands by their sides and about 13 inches away from each other but still.

Sniggers came from Terry and Mauricio and one other boy from ravenclaw when they made an joke that she could not hear.

"Tsk Tsk. It is not time for foolery boys. For now we seek the beyond. Everyone lay back and let curiosity take over." Miss Runo whipped her wand, sat down, and the lights turned off but the dome they were under started to play a sort of galaxy show.

Samantha was in tranced by this. She got her fascination from her father.

They all continued to enjoyed the show and Samantha swore she could have seen Mauricio's and Jade's hands interlocked with each other, yes they were still at that awkward distance but alas progress is progress.

After the class, they had three more classes, all of which were with ravenclaw. Arithmetics, CFMC with Hagrid, and finally Herbology.

It was tiring yes but Samantha couldn't wait because they were announcing the competitors of the Tri-Wizard tournament. She spoke to Hermione during their passing time and she told her about how George and Fred used an aging potion and turned themselves as old as Dumbledore.

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗

Samantha and her friends entered the Great Hall and sat at their seats. She saw Malfoy looking at her but not for long, as soon as their eyes met, he turned away faster than you could say Butterbeer.

She shrugged it off and payed attention to Dumbledore. "Attention students, we will now start the ceremony. Please quiet yourselves."

The whole room waited in anticipation.

The goblet roared a red flame and spit out a small paper. "The Durmstrang champion is, Viktor Krum." Obviously people cheered for the oh so great Krum.

He walked down and shook Dumbledore's hand before being escorted down to the trophy room.

The flame still roared red when it spit out another paper. "The Beauxbatons champion is, Miss Fleur Delacour."

Samantha cheered greatly for Fleur, she was one of the kindest people at Beauxbatons and always treated Samantha like a younger sister. Her family came over often during the summer.

Fleur went and shook Dumbledore's hand and again was escorted down.

The flame spit out a third paper. "The Hogwarts champion, Cedric Diggory!" Dumbledore announced and Hogwarts went wild cheering for him.

Especially the hufflepuff table.

Everyone was busy cheering when something weird happened. The flame roared and spit out, no that can't be Samantha thought to herself, a fourth paper?

"Harry Potter?" Dumbledore read out loud.

"Harry? No he couldn't have. He'd be stupid to enter." She thought to herself.

"HARRY POTTER?!" Dumbledore's voice boomed.

There she saw Harry, reluctant to get up if it weren't for Hermione who pushed him.

"HES A CHEAT!" A boy called out. "HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN ALOUD?!" Another cried.

Harry and Samantha locked eyes with each other for one second and she gave him a reassuring look.

He was escorted down and the whole room was excused.

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗

Back at their dorms, the girls were frantically trying to find out why a fourth name had been called. More importantly, how did Harry manage to put his name in.

"I- I don't know. I just have an unsettling feeling about this." Samantha said pacing back and forth in her PJ's. "Harry wouldn't. He knows how dangerous it is. Besides, how could he cross the age line that Dumbledore drew himself?"

"I don't know either. I hope he's alright though, but for now, I think it's best if we try and get some sleep." Hannah advised.

They all nodded and tucked in for the night. Samantha stayed up for a bit longer tossing in her bunk, worrying for Harry and his safety, before sleep overtook herself.
