Chapter 29

The next day i woke up a little late i think around 10 am I went to the great hall i saw my friends i went up to them and ate breakfast.

"Does the champions already know that next task?" Blaise asked.

"Probably not i didn't know either anyway" crabbe says while eating.

"I know actually" i said.

"You do?!" Pansy and chloe said the same time.

"Yea i know that their gonna die" i smiled innocently.

They both rolled their eyes and i laughed.

"I'll be talking to my friends from durmstrang" says draco.

He seems really close to them cool, i got up and walk out of the greathall and went to the wooden bridge i saw harry and Hermonie talking i went up to them.

"Hey you two" i said.

"Hey lyn its been a while how are you?" Hermonie asked.

"Good how's the tournament?" I asked.

"Well this man right here doesn't know or have a clue about the next step" says Hermonie.

"Well i can give you hint" i said smiling.

"You know about the next tasks?" Harry asked.

"Hmmm not reall just have a thought about it" i said and laughed. "If that egg can't speak clearly above the land why don't put it in the underwater?" I said and saw cedric on his way.

"Bril-" harry got cut off.

"Potter" says cedric.

"Cedric" says harry kinda annoyed.

"How- how are you?" Says cedric.

"Spectacular" says harry.

"Look I realized i never thanked you for telling me about the first task and about those dragons" cedric said.

"Forget about it im sure you would do the same for me" says harry ready to walk away.

"Exactly" says cedric. "You know the prefects bathroom in the 5th floor its not a bad place for a bath" cedric whispers.

"You know diggory you need to whisper a little more I pretty sure i just heard you" i said.

He looked at me. "Oh yea did you whisper to me when you said that thing to me?" He said.

"Who cares pretty sure Hufflepuffs are open minded" i laughed.

He gave me a death glare "just take your egg and figure out bye" he says to potter, He smiled at me and left.

I waved goodbye to Hermonie and harry and went to the castle i saw my friends.

"Where did you go?" Chloe asked.

"Just get some fresh air" i said.

Draco looked at me.

"Done staring malfoy?" I asked and smirked.

"Not yet" he looked at me in the eye.

I rolled my eyes we went for a walk then dinner we went to the great hall and eat some dinner i don't have any appetite i dont know why i only a little bit.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat?" Pansy asked.

I nodded my head no.

"Malfoy what did you do to her again?!" Pansy asked.

"Hey I didn't do anything for merlins sake" he said and continue to eat.

I laughed, after eating we went back to the common room. We talked and talked until.

"May i talk to miss Simmons" says professor snape.

They all looked at me i went my way to professor snapes office.

"What did i do this time?" I asked.

"You did nothing lyn" he said, "i want you to look after your self someone in the castle is using pollyjuice potions someone might just be not him self" he said and i nodded.

"Uhm my grandma left a letter saying you're going to tell me about my father?" I asked.

"We can talk to that whenever you're ready Kaitlyn" he said.

"Okay I'll tell you when im ready thank you" i said.

"Anytime" he said.

I went out of his office. When will i be ready?

I went back to the common room seeing no one i went to my room and change into my pajamas and went to bed. The next day is the second task we went to the black lake i saw everyone going crazy.

"Lyn!" I heard draco's voice i saw chloe with him.

I walk up to him. 

"I feel like this is where potter will drown" he said laughing.

"Don't be sure hun" i laughed.

"Yea yea whatever" he said.

The second task started we saw professor moody pushed harry to the dark lake draco laughed, but then minutes later harry is still not moving im starting to get worry but then he jumped every one cheered for him except draco,then i saw cedric with cho i run up to him i can sense draco's staring at me.

" your okay!! Where's harry?!" I asked him.

"He's still there" he said panting.

I looked at the lake still no sign of him, then viktor appeared with Hermonie glad she's fine still no sign of harry i looked at the time, oh no shoot. I saw ron and the sister of a Beauxbatons and then he jumped, I sighed in relief they looked at me and smiled at them. 

"Attention!!!!" Says professor Dumbledore. "The winner is Mr. Diggory!, we agreed to make potter the second since he save not only one but two, in third place is viktor krumand third is the Beauxbatons." 

I saw draco hit the kid on his head poor kid i saw chloe walk up to me.

"Well that was fun" she said.

"Yup" i laughed and we walk to the castle.

After dinner we're already at the common room.

"We should play something" says pansy.

"Nah I'd rather take a walk" i said standing up.

"Alright you guys are getting boring day by day" says pansy and cuddled up with balise again.

"It's because we're always third wheeling with you two" says chloe, "im going to take rest night guys" 

"Night" i said and walks out of the common room.

I walk through the castle admiring the silence until I reached the court yard. 

"You okay simmons?" I heard draco's voice.

"Never been better" i said looking up the sky.

"You can talk to me if you wanted to" he said.

"I just miss my grandma" i said and look at him. "Your parents are there when i got there" I continued.

"Yea i wrote to them to be on your side that day and im glad they did" he looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you" i said laying my head on his shoulders.

"Anytime lia" he said.

"We should probably get back before we got caught right?" I said.

"You're right lets go" he said.

I walk a little faster.

"Lia?" He said.

"Hmm?" I looked at him.

"Feelings are still mutual right?" He asked.

I laughed. "Yeah it is still".

We walked back to the common room there's no one else in the living room i walked to my room im about to opened the door when someone holds my hand.

"Good night lia" says draco.

"Good-" i got cut off when he smashed his lips to mine kissed back and he pulled back.

"I love you" he said and went inside his room.

I couldn't stop thinking about what happen earlier oh my gosh, i dont think I'll be able to sleep. I dont know how i fall asleep i woke up the next day to someone banging on my door. I got up and opened it.

"Excited are we?" I said. "Wait for me im gonna change my clothes" i said and closed my door I changed my clothes and brush my teeth and fix my hair i went out of my room and grab chloe's hand and walks to the greathall we saw everyone already eating lunch we sat on our usual sits and began eating then today is the day where cedric will die i push aside my plate and stare on it.

"Lia you need to eat you didn't even breakfast" says draco.

Pansy, chloe and blaise looks at me.

"I dont want to eat" i said and drinks some water.

"Then at least eat an apple" says pansy.

"Alright, alright" i said taking a bite of the apple i get.

I saw cedric walking inside the greathall, "I'll be back guys" i told them, i went up to cedric and drag him back to the hallway. 

"Ohhh hey simmons-" he said and i hugged him he hugs me back.

"Promise me you'll survive this tournament or please stay safe win or lose you'll always be the hogwarts champion" i told him.

He gave me a worried look. "Are you ok? Of course I'll be safe"

"Yea im fine im just really worried" i said.

"You don't have to" he said.

I smiled, "just please be safe, for cho" i said.

He frown at me. "For you" he said and kissed my forehead.

I smiled and he went inside the greathall after a minute i went to the greathall too i saw Malfoy was holding a copy of the Daily Prophet. Slytherins up and down the table were sniggering, twisting in their seats to see Harry's reaction.

"Let me see it," Harry said to Ron. "Give it here."

Very reluctantly, Ron handed over the newspaper. Harry turned it over and found himself staring at his own picture, beneath the banner headline:

"HARRY POTTER"

"DISTURBED AND DANGEROUS"

The boy who defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is unstable and possibly dangerous, writes Rita Skeeter, Special Correspondent. Alarming evidence has recently come to light about Harry Potter's strange behavior, which casts doubts upon his suitability to compete in a demanding competition like the Triwizard Tournament, or even to attend Hogwarts School.

Potter, the Daily Prophet can exclusively reveal, regularly collapses at school, and is often heard to complain of pain in the scar on his forehead (relic of the curse with which You-Know-Who attempted to kill him). On Monday last, midway through a Divination lesson, your Daily Prophet reporter witnessed Potter storming from the class, claiming that his scar was hurting too badly to continue studying.

It is possible, say top experts at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, that Potters brain was affected by the attack inflicted upon him by You-Know-Who, and that his insistence that the scar is still hurting is an expression of his deep-seated confusion.

"He might even be pretending," said one specialist. "This could be a plea for attention."

The Daily Prophet, however, has unearthed worrying facts about Harry Potter that Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, has carefully concealed from the wizarding public.

"Potter can speak Parseltongue," reveals Draco Malfoy, a Hogwarts fourth year. "There were a lot of attacks on students a couple of years ago, and most people thought Potter was behind them after they saw him lose his temper at a dueling club and set a snake on another boy. It was all hushed up, though. But he's made friends with werewolves and giants too. We think he'd do anything for a bit of power."

Parseltongue, the ability to converse with snakes, has long been considered a Dark Art. Indeed, the most famous Parselmouth of our times is none other than You-Know-Who himself. A member of the Dark Force Defense League, who wished to remain unnamed, stated that he would regard any wizard who could speak Parseltongue "as worthy of investigation. Personally, I would be highly suspicious of anybody who could converse with snakes, as serpents are often used in the worst kinds of Dark Magic, and are historically associated with evildoers." Similarly, "anyone who seeks out the company of such vicious creatures as werewolves and giants would appear to have a fondness for violence."

Albus Dumbledore should surely consider whether a boy such as this should be allowed to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. Some fear that Potter might resort to the Dark Arts in his desperation to win the tournament, the third task of which takes place this evening.

I look Over at the Slytherin table, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were laughing at him, tapping their heads with their fingers, pulling grotesquely mad faces, and waggling their tongues like snakes.
