wrong direction

Harry and Samantha walk side by side in the halls towards the Gryffindor common room. Harry didn't know what to say to Samantha, he felt guilty because now she was in danger because of him.

"Sam I'm..."

"Don't you dare tell me you're sorry." Samantha whispers as they continue walking. Harry glances at her and nods his head understandably.

"It's not your fault. I know you didn't put your name in the cup, I know you didn't want to participate in the tournament, so someone had to put your name in the cup to hurt you." Samantha states and Harry nods his head again.

"But Sam you didn't have to risk your life for me." Harry whispers sadly.

Samantha grabs his arm tightly making them both stop walking. She turns to face him, since they were almost the same height Samantha only had to look down slightly to look into Harry's eyes.

"Listen to me closely Harry. I would die for you, do you understand that? I would risk my life a hundred times a day if it meant you were kept safe. You're my brother, and I love you so much that if you were to die, I don't know what I would do. So don't thank me, don't tell me you're sorry, all you have to do is cheer me on while I kick Diggory's ass, got it." Samantha states.

Harry's eyes widen at his sisters words and he quickly pulls her into a tight hug. Samantha sighs and rests her head on his shoulder hugging him back tightly.

"I don't know what I would do either if you died Sam," Harry whispers, "but I do know you'll kick Diggory's ass." Harry smirks making Samantha laugh as she pulls away from her brothers hug.

"Come on let get to the common room." Samantha says nudging her head in the direction smiling.

When the two Potter siblings walk into the common room all the chatter stops and their eyes fall on the two siblings.

"How did you do it Harry?" Seamus asks.

"I didn't." Harry states.

"Well if it isn't me I'm glad it's a Gryffindor." Angelina says walking over patting Harry on his shoulder.

Samantha gives Harry a small smile before walking up the stairs to her room, with Fred following behind he quickly.

"I'm not competing anymore." Harry states and everyone is looking at him confused.

"How did you get out of it?" Hermione asks.

"Someone took my place." Harry states and George sits up straighter looking at Harry.

"Tell me she didn't." George says worriedly and Harry looks over at George with a sad look in his eyes and it was enough for George to know who exactly took Harry's spot.

"Who? What?" Ron asks confused looking back and forth between his best friend and brother.

"Samantha, she took your spot didn't she Harry?" Hermione asks sitting down on the couch as he nods his head yes.

"Yeah, She did."

Samantha walks into her room and lets out a sigh. She runs her hands through her hair as she felt tears well up in her eyes.

All she could think about now was that she was going to be competing in a deadly tournament all because someone was trying to kill her brother.

"Love?" Fred whispers walking into the room closing the door behind him. Samantha turns around and looks at Fred with the tears in her eyes.

"Hey, it's alright. Harry's going to be okay love. Dumbledore won't let anything happen to him." Fred says walking over to her pulling her into a tight hug.
