WORLD CUP BETTING AND 4TH YEAR

the days went by and soon enough Hermione left for the Quidditch world cup to the burrow and I left for my house this year there will be the Triwizard tournament to which I am interested in because I want a dragon and there is a law called the right of conquest. so free dragon.

and soon enough came in the game night I met the twins too they were going to the betting pool the luxurious one with really high bet but I caught them before that.

Draco: and what do you think you idiots are doing.

twins: and who might you be.

Draco: it's me Malfoy I am under polyjuice.

twins: what was the first amount of profit we made.

Draco:32000 are we done here now I have some insider information and we are gonna make big money so how much did you bring.

twins:102,000 galleons we sold some personal heirlooms of the family that was in junk who knew it was an antique so we are gonna bet on both sides and get a good income what about you.

Draco: you see those people on the first floor I am gonna make a bet there as they make one of the biggest bets in the world so in a few minutes after I place my bet there will be a new situation to bet on and the odds will be very high say around 1:10 so invest all in that and listen carefully it will be

Irish wins and Krum catches the snitch the odds may go very high as it is a ridiculous outcome but it will happen okay get ready and trust me.

Twins: fine then.

I went upstairs and the highest bet was placed at 1,000,000 galleons so I did put that amount and with my bet placed on the situation of Irish wins and Krum catches the snitch and with a rumour that I spread that a drunk pureblood thinks Krum is from the Irish team and betted a million which on people were shocked and the cheered free galleons the odd got higher and now it was 1:30 with only three people who bet on the drunk pureblood while all others at we losing.

well the game ended and all our money was sent to my vault which then I gave the twins there 3 million and they were on the seventh heaven but I made them take an oath that next time they will not bet that big of an amount anywhere and then left to enjoy then all hell broke loose I ran towards outside as I was running I found a child crying I rushed towards her a stupefied a death eater attacking her I caught her and left for safe grounds enough we met her elder sister and she was the Delacour. she thanked me and ran with us towards her parents but we were ambushed by 2 death eaters well I destroyed them they may have few broken bones and fleur was stunned but due to the adrenaline they were fine and we ran and reached for her parents they were finally at peace when they found them they asked my name and I left for home right after the Aurora Came. my father was nowhere to be found my mother was silent throughout the whole night and he came back the next day we asked where he was but he just closed the gate and soon i left for my house it was few day later i got a letter from gringotts saying that Sirius black was trying to claim the lordship but we told him to come tomorrow and they asked me what they want me to be done and i told them straight forward to refuse him and if he feels that he isn't satisfied he can talk to the ministry and also that he only allowed to get money through the black house elf and as he not the lord but still an heir he will get money from his trust fund only as he getting it till now. I sent them another letter thanking them and they were more than happy to help me. then I wrote another letter to Ragnarok asking him about some doubts I had whose answers bought me great joy. and soon enough it was a day of departure it was only my mother at the station she hugged me and I left for Hogwarts. I called for no. 3and to tie a thread on potters right leg and Daphne's left leg it is something which I got from the system it's called an attractive string like fateful lovers and all I wanted to save my friend's asses now so what better way to do it this way, soon enough I was joined by all my friends and we talked and Daphne suddenly went to get something to eat with pansy and I followed we went and found the trolley lady Daphne was at the front then pansy and me and behind me was Cho chang I looked at her and smiled and said "Nǐ hǎo, měinǚ" she looked at me surprised and then smiled flustered I may say a bit and she replied in English "I am good, thank you, I didn't know you can speak in mandarin".

Draco: even I didn't know that but it seems my magic reacted on its own and said the words that will greet you most comfortably.

she giggled so did her friends and I just smirked there was a tap on my shoulder it was pansy.

pansy: if you are done flirting Draco we should leave, now.

Draco: sorry ladies it seems time has come for me to go, my mum is here (they laughed). and we went back to the compartment.

Daphne (POV)

I wanted something sweet so I left to get the trolley lady pansy came with and surprisingly Draco did too he said he wanted some fresh air

well, whatever we finally found her and I ordered chocolate frogs and sugar quills and then I looked up and I saw a beautiful pair of green eyes staring at me its harry potter he looked handsome with his shoulder-length hair and I don't know but I kind of felt a pull towards him but then the lady gave me my things and I turned around to leave so did pansy Draco was flirting with a Ravenclaw and speaking Chinese that is a wonder to us too as we passed the Ravenclaw I looked back again at potter he was grinning and then smiling at me and I smiled back and blushed a bit what is wrong with me and I left to the compartment and I just know this year will go really good.

Harry(POV)

Ron took his candy and I wanted something different but someone already ordered I looked up to see who it was and at that moment I looked who it was it took my breath away silver-blonde hair pale face and beautiful I felt my heartbeat race as she looked at me and she had those deep blue eyes I checked her out as she did me too this moment just felt so right until the lady gave her the sweets and she turned around to leave and unknowingly I was smiling and kept looking at her back just wanting to see her face one more time and then she looked back too and I started grinning she smiled too and blushed and then turned around and left. "anything you want dear" said the lady "um no thanks" I went back in and closed the door and smiled and sat down.

Hermione: it's horrible how can they not tell us who casted the death mark in the Quidditch world cup.

Ron: I tried asking dad but everyone is so scared they won't tell who did it but dad said it hasn't been found and the ministry is busy with something as it is a really important event is happening in magical Britain.

Hermione: I hope they find out who was it.

I just shook my head and just focused outside the window soon enough we arrived at Hogwarts and as we left the train to the chariots I saw her again but she was with the Slytherins. I took Hermione to the side and asked her about her.

Harry: um Hermione who is the girl over there next to Malfoy and Parkinson.

Hermione: Oh that's Daphne Greengrass she is called the ice queen of Slytherin doesn't smile doesn't talk and always have a cold posture toward everyone her family is grey means they were neutral during the last war she was 7th last year. why do you ask?

Harry: na I just thought she was new so just asked.

as I looked back at her she was looking at me too and we unknowingly smiled at each other we kept giving each other looks until Malfoy took her elbow and went away from his group with her while his group left and said something to her and then she looked back at me with a sad expression what the hell did Malfoy do I looked they were climbing on a 4 people chariot I grabbed Hermione and followed them in the cabin and closed the door and sat in Daphne looked shocked and happy while Malfoy just raised his eyes brows.

Malfoy: well well well what do we have here potter and his pet Granger.

Hermione: shove off Malfoy.

Draco: hmph I can do that but I want to ask you something in private.

Hermione: well ask here whatever you want otherwise don't.

Draco: fine!! do you know the muffilato charm?

Hermione: the charm which helps you to stop sound from an area so if you casted it hear Daphne and Harry can't hear what we are talking about and they will only see a blur and not hear anything and same for them.

Draco: oh you even know this then cast it now.

~muffilato~

and with a blur you can't see them anymore it was just me and her the chariot kept on shaking as we neared the castle go on harry be a man.

Harry: hi I am harry potter nice to meet you.

Daphne: I know you heir potter everyone knows you I am Daphne Greengrass nice to meet you too.

we just smiled at each other unknowingly we just stared at each other until the chariot stopped we were at loss she stood up "well as you later" she smiled and then went away.

Hermione: seriously what going on with you guys the ice queen is smiling at you what happened while me and Malfoy were talking.

Harry: nothing we just talked a bit what about you what was Malfoy was saying.

Hermione: sorry harry can't tell you that I gave him my word that I won't tell anyone. I'm on let's go we need to get the rooms.

as we moved towards the gate everyone looked outside and we ran to see what it was they were pegasus pulling a chariot and a ship coming out of the black lake and that was amazing we left for our dorms and changed and got ready for the feast.

Draco(POV)

~muffilato~

Draco: do you see what I saw too.

Hermione: they are so into each other.

Draco: yeah I've never see Daphne act like that around any guy they are acting like children blushing did you see potters face hahaha.

Hermione: Yeah it was funny, so what shall we do now.

Draco: hmmmmm..... you just tell potter not to make it so obvious ok. and I will take care of Daphne. how about a bet it will be a potter who tells her first that he likes her or will it be the other way around I bet on Daphne the winner will do one thing and the loser can't refuse it.

Hermione: you are on.

we shake hands and soon we arrived we left the carriages and went to the dorm directly as we knew what was going to happen while walking I looked at Daphne.

Draco: Daphne you were being too obvious.

Daphne: what do you mean?

Draco: you know what I mean why you were staring at Potter, look I don't care if you like him or not but try to be more discreet as people can notice and Potter really well Whatever if you need anything I am here for you as your friend.

Daphne: I thought you would be angry or something this was not what I was expecting.

Draco: angry why would I be angry I don't hate Harry Potter and to tell you a secret I have a secret crush on Hermione for the past two years now and we are friends now.

Daphne: WHAT!!!

Draco: no need to be so shocked now love let's go.

and soon in the evening, the feast begins with a speech by Dumbledore which in the middle is stopped by a filch and says something to him and then leaves while bowing at me and then Dumbledore tells us about the Triwizard competition and then welcomes the beauxitabons and drumstrung and then we made fun of them with the idiotic school song and the feast begins again drumstrang sat with the Slytherin and the beauxitabons at Ravenclaw while one particular one came right next to me which caused every one to stare as krum was sitting next to me and fleur on my other side and my charm in 90s dosen't do them any justice either and i think because of my high charm i had no problem with the veelas aura i am not bothered by fleur at all fleur and i started talking and it was just talking after that incident at Quidditch match we became friends and wrote letters to each other she was not like a princess that everyone thought of her to be but down to earth but did had etiquette to show her class we had small talk and made from join in too and it was just us three who talked and laughed.

Krum: the way your school welcomed us was interesting.

Fleur: you meant to say childish hahaha.

Krum: well ladies say nothing but the truth.

Draco: she does but only a slight mishap it wasn't childish it was disgusting we have a school which gave birth to the worlds best seeker and the school with the oldest history and most beautiful ladies as its student and we greet them with a poem that is strong enough to make a troll start cringing.

Krum/fleur:hahaha.

soon we were done with our dinner and came in dumbledore and told us about the tournament and showed us the cup and then came Barty crouch senior and told the rules which caused havoc of screams but was silenced by dumbledore saying those who can put their names in it shall be the candidates for selection. and then we all left for our dorms for the next few days classes went as normal and people came and put their name in the goblet of fire I made the twins start a betting pool with people who will be the champions of other schools and more for our school and made them focus on more of our students and told them to keep the odds high so more people bet and that will be a huge profit so they kept the odds at 1:10 which got them an astounding amount of 56,000 galleons out of which 3000 is for other schools except Hogwarts. today was a day when the twins created the ageing potion and went to try it out while I was looking the entire scene through the system bought marauders map at astronomy tower waiting for the right moment I got my name written with invisible pen and normal pen the Draco Lucius Malfoy with normal and Black with invisible ink on a paper woven with itildrin as you see ithildrin reacts magically more reactive as it releases unique magic which increase chances og my paper to be chosen and the family name of malfoy and black means strength too so yeah as Viktor entered the hall to put his name told ravan to go and fly from here to there put my name in it before letting ravan fly i drank a dose of Felix felixsus and then let him go he went through the halls and children who saw him followed him the new students were even more amazed as its not everyday you see a phoniex so they followed him and just as put his name ravan entered the goblet room screeching which attracted a lot of attention he flew closed to the goblet put a slip in it and everyone saw it and then with a bright flare apparated towards me and we were done and just waited for the feast to end the twins found me and they were nervous for the money as they may end up with losing everything and i told them to trust me as they have never lost a single knit because of me. which they agreed and went back to normal and I told them to clap as hard as they can when Hogwarts champion is announced. as the dinner went on people asked for my opinion on who is going to win and I told them to clap as hard as they can that we if it is not who they wanted people won't know that you are disappointed. they only nodded and soon enough the feast ended and soon the tables were sorted and the goblet was placed in the centre of the hall I said Hermione in my mind and looked towards her and she was watching me with a serious expression since we came back we were not able to meet due to too much traffic and can't let people know so we just talked with our eyes and I now just winked at her and smiled and waited for dumbledore as he started pacing around the goblet and then started the selection process the first name came Viktor Krum and applause then came in fleur Delacour and finally the one everyone was waiting for the name the fire burned high higher than anyone else and more redder which caused people to exclaim and out came out a shining paper and i sighed finally dumbledore got the paper and he just spoke the name twins started clapping but people followed but they all heard the name "Draco Lucius Malfoy" and between the shower of applause and massive cheers from Slytherin i got up went towards the professor and took my name and smirked and looked around as if any one dared to say anything and then left to meet the champions as i was entering i heard fleur and krum talk on who is going to be the next champion and i loudly coughed and smiled at them they were shocked.

Krum/fleur: Draco what are you doing here.

Draco: well hello to you too fellow champions.

Krum: wait you are the champion but how.

Draco:well I am a genius of the century and know my ways around ancient artefacts so this and that and I am here and I wanna thank you both.

Krum/fleur: why? (while looking at each other)

Draco: well I made 1200galleons of off you from betting as I knew you will be the champions.

Krum: I only made 2000 from fleur and me.

fleur: wait you betted on me.

Krum/Draco: as if you did put any money well I made close to 3000 on myself and Krum but lost 100 on Cedric.

well, your loss then I am thinking about all those who betted on Cedric too.

soon enough potter came down too which was followed by angry kakaroff yelling and calling both of us a cheat well that was more than enough I went in front of him and looked him in the eye.

Draco: mind your tongue egor kakaroff if I hear you calling me a cheat one more time you shall face the wrath of the Malfoy family and you won't like that now would you.

Igor: my apologies heir Malfoy.

Draco: hmph it's good you understand and to everyone here I put my name in the goblet myself and as the professor himself said if you can and I did.

then they started questioning potter but he only denied and finally we were all selected as we left I followed potter and before parting, i said: "all the best potter as you are about to go through hell".

I patted his back and left as soon as I entered the dorm the entire dorm was filled with people who cheered as I entered and I smiled and it was a party from there on after the party I was alone with Daphne and told her about what harry may face now and if she wants to get closer to him now is the time and support him as he will be in the gallows now the first task is in a month now go and meet him become his friend and I'll tell you about the first task now and if you want here you can give him this locket and this ring they are charmed when one person who wears the ring think about the person wearing the locket they warms up and vice-versa.
