Chapter Three
"Ahh!!!" Harry screamed as he flung himself of the Gryffindor common room's coach and fell face first on the floor. Harry groaned and rubbed his eyes, yawned and looked at the coach to see Hermione fast asleep.
Harry observed Hermione's movement, her breath was steady, but she was frowning. Harry grinned at himself and brushed a piece of hair behind Hermione's ears. He sighed and looked at the clock, 4:30. He scowled to himself and went to get some pumpkin juice. As he was drinking, he looked outside of the window which showed the beautiful view next to Hogwarts. He could see the giant squid swimming happily and a flock of birds flew next to the castle. The Whomping Willow seems to be in a good mood so when some birds flew by, it gently pat the birds with it's twig. Harry smiled at the view and he heard tapping at the window next to him. He looked at the window to see Hedwig with a letter on his feet. He smiled, thanked Hedwig, gave her a treat and looked at his letter.
Dear Harry:
Your scar is hurting now? 4:30 at the common room fireplace.
Snuffles
Harry read and reread the letter. Snuffles is a nickname for Sirius so when he send letters and someone read it, they won't know it's actually Sirius. Harry frowned and threw the letter to the fireplace so know one will know. As the fire crackled to destroy the letter, Hermione began shifting on the coach and started breathing heavily. "No... Harry... no, not... Harry..." Hermione murmured when Harry was close enough to hear what she's saying. "Shh... Hermione? Hermione, wake up." Harry shook Hermione but she won't get up. "No... Please! Don't hurt him!!" Hermione's voice began growing louder and Harry hated to see Hermione crying. "Hermione, please wake up." Harry said and Hermione suddenly bolted up from the coach, breathing heavily and started to cry. "Shh... it's ok Hermione, I've got you." Said Harry when Hermione cried harder and Harry hugged her. "Ha... Harry... could... we take... a... wa... walk?" Hermione said between sobs and Harry nodded. "Any thing for you Hermione."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Hermione walked with Harry with her head on his shoulder.
"Hermione?"
"Hmm?"
"Ron would kill me of he sees us like this."
"Not bloody likely."
"To you yes, to me, no." Harry said and Hermione chuckled. "You care to tell me your dream?" Harry asked and Hermione shivered. "No. Well, I saw you in a graveyard with Wormtail and he is cutting you." Hermione said uncomfortably and Harry frowned. "I see." Hermione sighed deeply and the two stayed quiet for a while. "Harry?"
"Hmm?"
"I heard you scream at night." Hermione tilted her head to a side and Harry sighed deeply. "Well, then you know what is it, Voldemort." Harry said in a matter-of-fact tone and Hermione winced at the name like always. "You need to get use of his name Hermione." Harry sighed and looked into the distance which showed nothing but the forbidden forest. "Harry!!" Hermione suddenly yelled and Harry jumped in surprise. "The tournament! Do you know how to get pass the dragon yet? Please say you do, please..." Hermione moaned and Harry growled.
"Sirius sent me a letter to meet him in the fire to meet him at the common room and... oh no, it's already 4:20! Let's get back Hermione!" Harry said urgently and Hermione nodded, and ran with Harry back to the castle.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Harry! Harry!" Someone whisper-shouted in the common room and Harry and Hermione immediately turned their heads to the fireplace.
"Sirius! How are you?"
"Fine, now what happened?"
"Someone put my name in the goblet of fire and whoever put it, he wants me dead."
"Smart conclusion Harry. How are you Hermione? I suppose you and Ron are the only ones helping Harry?"
"No, I'm the only one helping Harry." Hermione sighed deeply and Sirius gasped at the news. "Well Harry, I can help you in this tournament. What are you good at?" Sirius smirked and Harry frowned. "Well, not anything. Except for Quidditch." Harry shrugged and Sirius broke into a smile. "That's right now..."
"But I'm not allowed a broom!"
"But you are allowed, a wand."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Two days later...
"Potter! Potter!" The crowed chanted as Hermione walked to the stadium to find a seat to watch the tournament. "Hey Fred, George, I bet Harry'll loose at this tournament." Sneered Malfoy as he walked and saw Fred and George. Fred winked at George as George set a jinxed clock at Malfoy and he ran away. "Oy Hermione! Wanna make a bet for Harry?" Fred said and Hermione beamed. "Five Knuts for Harry." Hermione put the Knuts into a box and went back sitting next to Ron. Hermione and Ron fought their selves to not change seats and sit together. Ron growled and Hermione rolled her smart eyes. "For the last but not the least champiooooooooooon... HARRY POTTER!!!!" Fudge screamed and the crowd roared with cheers but they are mostly boos, including every Dumstrang student except for Victor Krum, who was slightly burned. Hermione grasped the chair so hard that it will break into five pieces. "Calm down, you know Harry's gonna loose." Ron sneered but was shut up by Hermione and Neville, who both smack him his head.
"The famous Harry Potter would be fighting wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiith, THE HUNGARIAN HORNTAIL!!!!!!" Fudge screamed again and he nearly choked and Hermione caught a glimpse of Professor Moody who was drinking his own bottle again and he looked a bit more like himself. Strange... Hermione thought but shrugged it of as Harry approached the Quidditch field. The dragon leapt to Harry and attacked with it's spiked tail. Harry dodged it by inches but the dragon was so hungry that Hermione thought the dragon was a normal wizard, and Harry turned into 9999999999999999999999 Galleons.
All the Slytherins looked frustrated when the dragon missed Harry and Hermione gasped. The dragon sent a wave of fire to Harry and Harry hid behind a rock which would turn into lava if the dragon kept burning it. "Harry!! YOUR WAND!!" Hermione used the opportunity to tell Harry and he heard it. "Accio Firebolt!" Harry pointed to the air but nothing happened so Hermione screamed in frustration. "Arrrrrrrrgh!!!" Hermione screamed but she suddenly heard something whizzed past her and Harry was suddenly sitting midair. "YES!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!" Hermione jumped up and ripped the chair of the stadium and carelessly threw it down the Quidditch pitch. Hermione went scarlet and fixed the chair.
Harry dived in, followed by the hungry dragon. One way to sort this out... Harry thought and dived straight to the ground and... the dragon met the ground face first. Harry used the opportunity to get the egg and he succeeded. "YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!" Harry heard Hermione scream and saw her rip the chair of again and he chuckled slightly.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Potter is the best!" Harry repeated the banoner to himself and sighed. Fred and George were holding a party and he could do nothing to stop them and Hermione even gave up studying for a while to join the party. Everyone was celebrating. Harry tried to count the people but they are dancing so he rather not interrupt them. "Wow... nice work..." Hermione gasped at the view in the common room. "Thanks Hermione. By the way, I think this is your first time you stop studying for a party." Fred grinned and Hermione slapped Fred's arm playfully and Fred smirked. "Here, tour bet found." George handed Hermione her Knuts but Hermione refused. "Use it to make more Weasley products, I'm looking forward to them." Fred and George gasped and thanked Hermione who went to find Harry but see him raised midair by the Gryffindors. "You want me to open it?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow and asking to the crowd who nodded. Harry opened it and an ear splitting sound filled the room and everyone saw a red haired boy close the lid and everyone sighed in relief. "Bloody hell..." Ron muttered as he hand the holden egg back to Harry. "Harry, can we have a... um... friend to friend moment?" Ron asked awkwardly and Harry hesitated but nodded. They walked to the boys dormitories and Harry sat on his bed. "So, spit it out." Said Harry impatiently and Ron sighed. "Look mate, about the punch, my mood, badabing badaboom... look, I'm sorry." Ron concluded all the thing with a sorry at last and Harry looked up. "Well, took you long enough." Said Harry and he man hugged Ron which surprised Ron. "Come on, let's enjoy ourselves!"
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Wow, that's a nice ending for you and Ron." Hermione beamed at Harry and he chuckled slightly. "Well, at least it didn't turn out to be hexes and jinxes." Harry joked but Hermione slapped Harry in the arm, obviously taking it seriously. "Hey! I'm just joking!" Harry yelped and Hermione laughed at his stupidness. "Watch out Potter, you may get eaten by a blast ended skwerts next time!" Malfoy sneered at the end of the bridge and Harry scowled. "Don't take it to serious Harry. Let's visit Hagrid, we haven't met him since your name appeared in the Goblet of fire." Hermione suggested but Harry scowled again. "Don't talk about that bloody cup again."
"Hagrid! It's us!" Harry yelled to the door and the door swung open almost immediately. "Ah!! I missed ya two! C'mon in then!" Hagrid said to the two of them cheerfully at Harry and Hermione and he went back to his hut to make some two for the two of them. "I heard ya get chosen for the ruddy tournament 'Arry, how did ya do that?" Hagrid asked curiously and Harry grunted. "Okay okay, even you don't believe me do you Hagrid?!" Harry shouted angrily and Hagrid gasped in his big beard. "No... no Harry, just asking... you know..." Hagrid stuttered between his beard but Harry had none of it. "You think you tip me of about the dragons and now and I need to tell you? Well, then, NO!" Harry screamed on Hagrid's face and Hermione gasped as Harry ran out of the hut. "Harry! HARRY! YOU STOP RIGHT NO..." Hermione called for Harry but he raised his wand and the next second, Hermione was dangling midair helplessly. "Harry please, please calm down, and please put me down..." Hermione begged and Harry huffed, raised his wand and Hermione fell down on the ground. "Sorry Hermione, why don't we go back up and figure out the egg?" Harry suggested and Hermione nodded.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Harry and Hermione walked slowly back to the bridge and looked around. It's break time for fourth and sixth years already. Harry saw Cedric looking around down at the Hogwarts grounds, maybe finding someone. Krum was jogging near the black lake with a bunch of giggling girls behind him and he was very annoyed by them. "Harry?" Hermione began and Harry looked at her. "I actually think Krum fancies me, you know." Hermione said and she blushed furiously. "Don't tell me you feel the same for him!" Harry said and Hermione smirked. "Of course not, but I do like him as a friend." Hermione shrugged and Harry face palmed.
"Do you know who is Cedric looking for?" Hermione asked and Harry shrugged. "Wait... where's Cedric?" Harry said, suddenly aware that Cedric isn't on the Hogwarts ground anymore. "Hey! Potter! Can I talk to you?" Cedric shouted at the end of the bridge and Hermione beamed. "Meet you back in the common room." And left.
Harry walked over to Cedric and Cedric grinned. "Look, thank you for tipping me about the dragons so now, why don't you use the Prefect's bathroom and put your egg in it? Password is 'stupid Malfoy'." Cedric said and he left.
