After a while, we start walking up the hill. Arthur is the first one to reach there. He turns to look at us and grin happily.

"Welcome to the Quidditch World Cup!!"

-Attacked-

Y/N P.O.V

"Wow... this place looks amazing..." I said, looking at the place in awe. "It sure does, isn't it?" Cedric said as he moves to stand next to me. "Yeah... this is my first ever professional Quidditch game..." I said. "It's mine too..." Hermione said. I turn to her and smile.

"I'll see you around, Y/N..." Cedric said, smiling at me. I smile back at him. "See you, Cedric..." I said. He turns to leave with his dad.

"You know... I think he likes you..." Hermione said. I turn to look at her. "What?" I said. "Cedric... I think he fancies you..." she said. I just laugh at what she just said. "Very funny, Mione... I don't think so. He's just being friendly..." I said. "Well... he's a Hufflepuff so he's always friendly. But not like THAT. Which is why I believe that he fancies you..." she said. "Like THAT? How?" I said. "You're so oblivious... I bet you don't even notice the tension between your two guy friends" she said. I look at her in confusion. "Who?" I said.

"Nevermind... you'll know soon..." she said. "Hmm... yeah... okay..." I said. We walk towards a tent and everyone starts piling in. I'm the second to last to enter the tent, Harry enters after me.

"Wow... I love magic..." Harry said. I turn to look at him and giggle softly. "It's amazing, huh?" I said. He turns to look at me. "Y-Yeah..." he said, looking a bit nervous. I furrow my eyebrow as I look at him. His cheek is a bit pink. Maybe it's just from the heat.

I carry my trunk and head to the room I'll be staying in. I place it under the bed and take a seat. My mind went back to my conversation with Uncle Macon. It feels weird to call him uncle... when I've been calling him dad for as long as I've lived.

So my real parents is Sarafine... a dark Caster... and my dad... he have passed away. Uncle also told me that none of the children stays with their biological parents.

Right after they were claimed... if they turn dark. It's forbidden for them to stay at their parent's house, because it'll cause chaos.

But there's no parents that would have the heart to abandon their children... so most would try to keep them. But it ended up being a disaster for the family. So that's why I never knew my parents.

That's why Uncle lied to me about them being my parents. They are trying their best to protect me. It makes me feel so bad for the way I act around them. I haven't even apologize properly. I'd make a mental note to do that when I return.

I let out a sigh and lay down on the bed. I place a hand behind my head as a pillow and the other hand went up to my neck. I can feel the necklace I've been wearing since I was a kid.

Mine said little sis. The other one is big sis which belongs to Lena. It's a symbol that we will always have each other's back no matter what happened. But we both know it's not like that anymore. She have changed. I really misses her.

"Y/N?" I heard someone said. I turn my head to see Harry standing by the doorway of my room. "Oh... hi, Harry..." I said, sitting up. "Are you okay?" He said, walking towards me.

"I'm alright... why do you asked?" I asked. He sits down next to me. "If you're alright... then... why are you crying?" He said. "What? I'm not crying..." I said.

He lift his hand and place it on my cheek, wiping away a tear that slips out of my eye. I didn't even realize I've been crying.

"Oh..." I said. "So... why are you crying?" He asked. I let out a sigh and look away from him. "I was just... thinking..." I said. "About what?" He said. "Lena, my sister... I really miss her. We were so close when we were little and then everything just... changed. She's not the same anymore..." I said. "Change... how?" He said, looking at me with curiosity.

"She's just... different... and it might happen to me as well..." I said. My mind drift off to the day where I'll go through the claiming. What will happen to me if I go Dark. What will happen if I ended up hurting the people I've grown to love.

"Hello? Earth to, Y/N" Harry said, waving a hand in front of my face. I snap out of my thought and turn to look at him. "Huh? What?" I asked. "I asked what really happened... and what will happen to you? Is it have something to do with your fear in DADA class?" He said, looking at me with worry.

"Yeah... you could say that..." I said. "You mean... the darker version of you?" He said. I nod my head, not looking at him. "Why? Why would you turn dark? You are the kindest person I've ever met..." he said. "Lena and our cousin are also the kindest people. But it didn't stop them from turning Dark... look, Harry... it's complicated, okay? I don't wanna bother you with my problem..." I said. "You're not going to bother me. I care about you, Y/N... so I want to be there for you..." he said. I smile softly at him. "Thank you, Harry... I'm so happy to have a friend like you" I said, leaning my head against his shoulder.

Harry P.O.V

Friend... is that all I'll ever be for you, Y/N? Why did it hurt me this much? Why do I feel hurt when you said I'm your friend. Am I... falling for you?

I feel something landed on my shoulder. I turn my head and realize it's Y/N. She have placed her head on my shoulder. I smile softly to myself. This isn't the first time I'm being close with her. Each time it always send a warm feeling in my heart. I guess... this could only mean one thing...

I'm falling in love with Y/N...

Time-skip

We walk towards the Quidditch pitch. "Right... I still have no idea. Who's playing today?" I asked, turning to look at Harry. "Ireland VS Bulgaria..." he said. I nod my head.

I have no idea which group we're rooting for. I guess I'll just go along with the flow. I'll see which group they support and cheer for it too. Like I said... this is the first professional Quidditch. So I don't know who is who.

We head upstairs. I can hear someone calling out. I turn my head. Right below us is Draco with his dad. He smiles at me, but scowl when he notice who I'm with.

"I see you came with the Blood-traitors..." he said. I roll my eyes, after hearing what he just said. I can't blame him... his father is right next to him. So I think he just wants to keep an image, knowing how his father is.

"Yeah so? They're still my best friends... you have a problem with that??" I said. "Obviously... you're welcome to join me and my father. We're invited to the first class seats... right in the Ministry box. We can save you another one" he said, smirking at me. "Yeah? How nice of you. But no thanks. I'm going to stick with them..." I said. He rolls his eyes and walks away with his father.

We take a seat in the benches. I just stay silent as I watch the players. I cheer when the others cheer so it won't look like I'm lost. That would be embarrassing.

Suddenly the sky goes darker. Then a green smoke appear, forming a snake and a skull.

I have a bad feeling about this. "Okay... we have to get out of here..." Harry said. He grabs my hand. We starts to leave the pitch. But there's a lot of people around, so his hand slips out of mine.

I keep running as fire starts lighting up here and there. I can see people wearing all black around us. The first thing came to my mind was Death-eaters. That's what they are.

Out of no where, someone grabs my hand. I turn to look at the person and try to rip my hand away from the person's grasp. But I realize who it is when I see the blond hair.

"Draco?" I said. He turns to look at me. "You have to follow me... I'm going to get you out of this" he said. "I don't need your protection! I can protect myself" I said.

We turn around the corner, and he turns to face me. "Not against them! They're dangerous, Y/N... you have to trust me..." he said, looking at me in the eye. He gently pulls me along again.

The only thing on my mind was the others. Will they be alright? Merlin... please protect my friends. Don't let anything bad happen to them. They all mean so much to me.
