chapter 2

Nathen pov.

Apparently the triwizard tournament was happening at Hogwarts and the other 2 schools had entered the great hall and stuff. I didn't really pay attention since I was writing to my grandmother about how the school was. I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to be met with a kind smile and a familiar looking face. "Ello Monsieur Ryan. It's good to see you again."

"Miss Delacour?" I say surprised before being hugged by her. "So you're school is competing?"

"Yes. But I wasn't expecting to see you here." She said as we separated. I could feel the intense jealousy coming from all around.

"Well I got transferred here." I say with a smile as we sit down at the table with her next to me. As we started to continue our conversation we heard someone clear their throat. Looking over I see Ron looking at me. "What?"

"How in the bloody hell do you know Fluer Delacour?" Ron asked as I started to sweat.

"He saved my life 2 years ago." She said with a smile as I feel like dying.

"No she would have been fine without my help." I say trying to cover up.

"Stop being modest Monsieur Ryan." She said patting my shoulder. "In my fifth year at Beauxbatons academy during the summer I was attacked by these 2 muggle men who tried to do things to me when as if sent from God
Monsieur Ryan dropped on one of them knocking him out and broke the other man's arm before accompanying me to my home. We exchanged owls and we've talked a bit over the years." She said as I looked away. I noticed how a few people were giving me questioning looks. I chuckled nervously. "He was such a sweetheart."

"Were you raised by assassins or something Nathen?" I heard a boy ask then followed by an explosion. I stayed silent.

"Look it's not all glamorous as that. It was just right place right time." I say trying to keep my cool when I looked at Fleur with a look begging to stop.

"Monsieur Ryan is like an angel." She continued ignoring me. "And I'm so glad to have met him."

"Okay that's enough backstory." I say with a nervous chuckle remembering fathers words. 'Never let anyone know the real you. Otherwise you can lose people you care about.' I sighed as everyone looked at me. "Look I just prefer not to talk about anything that has to do with my past I say."

"Holding back secrets on us mate?" The weasley twins asked with a smirk.

"No just making sure you can't be tortured for information." I say without missing a bit staring them in the face. Everything went silent between us.

"Well Monsieur Ryan," I heard Fleur  say while standing up, "it was great to see you. Hopefully we can catch up." She said before kissing my cheek.

"It was great seeing you too Miss Delacour." I say bowing to her as she smiled and walked away as I looked at everyone at the table that was staring at me.

"Who are you?" Harry ask as I smiled.

"I guess you could go with fleurs choice and call me a Guardian Angel." I smiled. "But I prefer Nathen." I look away and see Professor Mcgonagall staring at me.

Minerva Mcgonagall pov.

I stared at Nathen with a bit of sadness but didn't let it show. I had finally read the letter meant for him and it was just as I alalready knew. "Mcgonagall?" I heard from my right to see Dumbledore looking at me with a knowing look.

"Yes headmaster?" I asked not really looking away from Nathen.

"Tell me again how you knew about Nathen Ryan and his father?" He asked as I sighed.

"His father was an old friend that cared very deeply about others." I say repeating it for a hundredth time. "Why?"

"Because I think you know more about Young Nathen then you care to let on." He said slightly smug.

"What are you getting on albus?" I asked irritated while looking to him.

"Who is his mother Mcgonagall?" He asked. "If you knew his father then you must know his mother."

"His mother abandoned him at birth leaving the father to have to take care of him." I say looking down guilty.

"Sorry to interrupt Minerva but when was Nathen born?" Snape interrupted asking.

" 14 years ago in april." I say a bit silently.

"Didn't you take 9 months off around that time?" He asked putting his greasy nose where it doesn't belong.

"Yes severus and if you keep asking questions you'll find yourself unable to ask more after." I say coldly to him. He stayed silent but happy.

"Minerva are you-" Dumbledore started to ask when Moody stepped in.

"Sorry to bother you Professors but I think it would be best if you leave a womans private life as it is. Private." Mad-eye moody said no one said anything after this before Dumbledore smiled apologetic before standing up and dismissing the students. I noticed nathen was the last to get up but I didn't pay attention to it and left to my room. I looked at the latter that I had left on my desk and sighed. 

Nathen pov.

I walked into the common room and looked around amazed before sitting on the couch and leaning back. I closed my eyes feeling the heat of the fire roll over me when the couch moved a little. I opened my eyes to see hermione sitting to the left of me reading a book. I closed my eyes again and before I knew it I fell asleep
