Harry's pov

I woke up around 5:30 this morning, i don't even know why since i don't usually wake up this early. The sun has just come up so I might as well go down to the common room for awhile. I walked downstairs to see Hermione sitting on the couch reading.

"Do you mind if I join you?" I asked causing her to turn around

"I would love that" She says and I took a seat right next to her

"What are you doing up so early?" She asks

"I could ask you the same thing" I joked

"I couldn't sleep. I guess i had a lot on my mind" She says shyly

"Do you want to talk about it? Cause you can always talk to me. Merlin knows i always talk to you"

"It's not important. Right now I just want to sit here with you" She says placing her head on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her

We stayed like that for a couple of hours. It was peaceful just being together and not worrying about anyone else waking up. I tightened my arms around her and began running hand across her arm. I could tell she liked it since she cuddled up more to me. She was so adorable.

"So who do you think will get picked for the tournement today?" She asks breaking the silence

"Probably Viktor....and one of the beauxbatons girls. Maybe Angelina or Cedric"

"Did you see how the boys were practically drooling over them, those french girls. The second they walked in boys were practically falling at their feet. It was just like at the world cup. All except you of course, you must be immune to them" She says laughing

"Ron was practically jumping out of his seat at the sight of them. They are veelas I swear. I'm not jealous or anything i just thought it was funny" She continues to explain

"I know. Those girls are no doubt veelas, i barely even noticed them. You are the only girl i notice" I assured her

"If you keep talking like that people are going to think we're dating" She says laughing a bit

"Who cares what people think? I'm your best friend and that means i can call you beautiful. I know you said you're not jealous, but if you ever were, i think you are much more beautiful than any of those girls. No matter what you think of yourself or what anyone else says about you" I have always thought she was beautiful.

"Harry. Please stop complimenting me. You are just too sweet. My cheeks is going to start hurting from smiling so much" She says as she hides her head in my chest, probably to avoid the embarrassment on her face

"I will never stop complimenting you. I think you're cute when you blush and hide you face in my chest" I said complimenting her once again

"If you can call me beautiful i can call you handsome. I'm surprised you don't have a girlfriend" She says, I feel my face getting warmer

"Well I don't disagree with you on that" I said jokingly causing her to laugh

"Are you sure you two aren't dating?" Lavender asks from behind the couch

"We're just friends. Okay?" I reassured her as Hermione lifted her head off of me and looked behind us

"Okay. But friends don't call each other beautiful and handsome all of the time" She says clearly not convinced

"Well i think they do. Maybe some just aren't as close as us" Hermione tells her

We looked over at the time and it was nearly breakfast, i didn't realize how long we were sitting in the common room. We rushed down to the great hall and took our usual spots. As we are eating I noticed Ron hasn't come down yet.

"Hey Dean where's Ron?" I asked him since he's sitting across from me

"I don't know. He was still sleeping when i came down. I tried to wake him up but he was out" Dean says before returning to chat with Seamus

I chose not to do anything, i rather be here with Hermione. It's not that i didn't care about Ron being here on time, but he just doesn't wake up on time. I have tried in the past but it never works. I always tell him that he needs to start waking up on time.
Right after breakfast both Hermione and i went to class. Ron ran into potions nearly 20 minutes late which caused Snape gave him 2 weeks detention and gryffindor lost 30 points. He is never gonna give us a break no matter what. He always has to take away points from us, especially from me.

Hermione won all the points back like she usually does. She is so brilliant.

Later that night....

We are all having dinner while everyone was anxiously waiting for the announcement of who was to be in the tournament. I honestly didn't care much as long as Hogwarts won.

"Students it's time to find out who our 3 champions are going to be!" Dumbledore announces, He walked over to the cup and pulled out the first name.

"First up is....Viktor Krum!"

Everyone at the Dumstrang table was screaming and clapping when Viktor went up, especially Ron. Well everyone needs a number one fan.

"Next is....Fleur Delacore!" Then the girl walks up next to Viktor

"And finally....Cedric Diggory!" The hufflepuff table went crazy as Cedric ran up with the rest of the champions

I clapped as well. At least I know someone good will be representing Hogwarts.

They have all been announced, now we can all go back to how it was before. Just as i went back to finishing my food i heard gasps coming from all around the great hall. I wasn't paying attention to what just happened but I'm glad that I'm not 17. This competition can kill people and I don't need anymore fame, i have got plenty.

Just then i heard another name being called....my name?

"Its...Harry Potter. Harry potter!" I heard professor Dumbledore yell

Did he just say my name? Why did he just say my name? I didn't enter. I can't go up there, Hermione is pushing to go up. I see everyone staring at me waiting for me to do something. I can't compete in this contest! This must be a joke.

"Harry you have to come" Dumbledore says sadly

"No! I didn't even enter. It has to be a mistake" I tell him pleading at him to reconsider

"The cup makes no mistakes Mr.Potter"

I finally walked up there along with the other 3 champions. I looked to Hermione who looks like she is on the brink of tears. I saw her look down and cover her eyes with her hands. How could this happen? Who would do this to me?
