AUTHOR POV

After Harry got to know, that he had to compete

He was furious, at whoever did this to him

But he was equally sad, as he knew people will start hating him more, and Panday and Malfoy will get another reason to bully him

So, not being in his right state of mind, as soon as he got out of Dumbledore's office, he ran towards the astronomy tower

He reached the most top part of the castle, and panted

He just wanted to shout out at the world, how he was just a boy, not ready to face the dangers, the world and Voldemort held

He just wanted someone to comfort him, just like his mother would do, if she was alive

But she wasn't, and it was all Voldemort's fault, and Pettigrew's too

It was all Voldemort's fault, he didn't had anyone to call his own

And he hated him for that, he loathed Voldemort for that

Harry fell down, and pulled his knees towards his chest

Tears entered his eyes, as he remembered, people die in the tournament

But most importantly, he got tears because he knew there was no one who would console him

Of course, Hermione and Ron and Sirius were there

But Hermione and Ron were probably mad at him, Sirius can't come to meet him

He was all alone, while he still had so many people in his life

Meanwhile,

Sai was wandering around the castle, as usual

Thinking about, how Potter got into the bloody tournament

'he isn't that smart and strong, is he?' Sai thought

But then, she realized that she was thinking about his handsome face all time

'what was wrong with her?'

She can't possibly fall for her enemy

She shook her head, and decided to finally go to her comfort place in the whole Hogwarts

The Astronomy Tower

She reached the highest peak, and started to walk forward, ready to look at the mesmerising part of the sky

But her feet came to a halt, as she realized someone was already there

But that someone, wasn't looking up, or doing drugs, nor crying

The person was just there, looking like he was in need for some comfort

She slowly walked forward, and sat beside him

She saw the familiar raven hair, and immediately knew who it was

But she didn't budge away

She sat there, trying think of a sentence to start the conversation

Cause she knew, he didn't had anyone, like herself

Sure, she had her parents, but he didn't even had them

And for the first time, she was disgusted at herself, for thinking that she was right for bullying him

But what could she do, he was the weakest pawn, to use, for being able to fit into the Slytherin group

Because, Potter can't run to anyone

"Hi, Potter" Sai greeted

The boy's head moved upwards, trying to look at whoever was trying to talk to him

And he immediately was disappointed

As he recognized the face, he thought was ready to bully him

"What do you want, Panday?" Potter hissed

"Nothing, just thought to ask you if you were alright" Panday shrugged

"I am alright, now fuck off" Potter cussed

"Ahh, don't be mean, I was serious" Panday said, scrowling

"You can never be Sirius" Potter joked, feeling his lips tug upwards

A small smile appeared on Sai's face, as she understood the joke

"Oh yes, I can't, remember I am a girl" Sai laughed, as looked at the sad boy

Potter slowly started to smile, hearing to her laugh

"You, don't think I entered my name in the goblet, do you?" Potter asked

"Of course not" hearing Panday's reply, Potter was in utter shock

He knew the slytherin's will the first to criticise him

"Why?" Potter asked

"because you are not smart enough to possibly cross the line dumbledore made" Sai explained

"Right, wait what?" Potter asked

Sai started laughing again, looking at the clueless boy

"Ok ok, stop now, and tell me, why are you here?" Potter asked

"Why? Can't I be here?" Sai asked

"No you can, but I think there is something that is bothering you" Potter said

"I will tell you, but how can I believe that you will not spread it?" Sai asked, suspiciously

"I won't, and everyone wouldn't believe me, because, well, I am a cheater" Potter said in a sad tone

"Ahh, don't get all sad again Potter, it is just Malfoy" Sai said

"Why? What did he do?" Harry's overprotective side came into action

"He just, wants to get on my pants, no matter how many times I tell him to stay away" Sai said, getting frustrated

"What does he do?" Potter asked

"Well, Malfoy flirts with me, and does things that are unexplainable, he just wants me because he thinks I am fun because I am hard to get" Sai tells Potter

"why don't you call Malfoy by his first name? I mean you are a Slytherin" Harry said

"Being a Slytherin doesn't mean to you to call all your housemates by their first name. Most of them annoy the shit out of me" Sai said

Potter laughed, as they both continued to talk

Potter, for the first time in a while, had felt himself letting someone in his heart

For the first time, he had gotten someone close to him, who he did not see as a family, but as someone else

Someone, he knew he would get overprotective of

Someone he knew he would like to call his

It was like, he got his Euphoria

SAI POV

Next few days, were chaotic

With Potter being the straight target for everyone to bully and criticize

Malfoy demanded me to wear the batch which said, 'Potter stinks'

But, he isn't the boss of me, I do what I want

So yeah, he was unsuccessful

But he got everyone else to wear it

We were in the courtyard as I saw Potter enter it, looking around to only see hate badges, which were meant for him

He ignored them, and walked straight towards Diggory

He whispered something in Diggory's ear, and then started to leave

He looked at the youngest Weasle, and shouted something at him

He started to exit the courtyard, as his emerald eyes met mine

I smiled softly at him, remembering our sweet night

At the astronomy tower

He smiled back, but Malfoy interrupted us

"You know my father and I have made a bet, I say you won't last 10 minutes, he disagrees" Malfoy said

"He thinks you won't last 5 minutes" he said and laughed with Crabbe and Goyle

"I don't give a damn what your father thinks Malfoy, he is vile and cruel, and you are just pathetic" Potter snapped at Malfoy

He moved forward toward Malfoy, threatening him

The act, made me feel, things, which were, well embarrassing

Potter turned around, and looked at me

"Don't think about that" we heard

We turned around to see professor moody walking towards the scene

We pointed his wand towards Malfoy and turned him into a ferret

"Never attack others, with their backs turned" moody said and levitated Malfoy

Moody made him go in Crabbe's pant on which everyone laughed

I laughed loudly, finding the situation too funny

"Professor what are you doing?" McGonagall asked

"Teaching" moody replied

"Don't tell me that's a student" McGonagall said horrified

"Technically it's a ferret" moody said

Then professor moody turns Malfoy back into himself

"My father will hear about this" Malfoy shouted at Moody, and fixed his disheveled state

I laughed loudly, and looked at Potter

He looked quite happy, which was rare these days

Suddenly, his smile was gone, as he looked at me

I furrowed my eyebrows, and asked him 'what happened?' with expressions

He took my hand, and we started to exit the corridor, until, I felt another hand catch my free one

I turned around, to see, Malfoy was holding me with one hand

"And where are you taking her, Potter?" Malfoy asked as his grip on my hand tightened

I hissed, at the feeling, as I knew it was gonna leave a mark

"I can take her wherever I want, Malfoy, mind your own business" Potter fought back

"She is my business" Malfoy said, and moved forward

"No she is not, so fuck off" Potter said, as I noticed all the professor's were gone, and there was a huge crowd, cheering for them

Suddenly, I felt myself being yanked by my hand, and my head crashed into a chest

I opened my eyes, and saw a red tie

I looked upwards, and saw Potter, with his jawline on display for me

Potter bent down, and picked me up, in bridal style

Everyone gasped, as they looked at the scene in front of them

They all knew we were enemies

I looked at Malfoy, as his jaw dropped

Potter started to walk back towards the exit

"Potter, put me down" I whispered to him

He ignored me, and kept walking

"Potter, put me down" I told him in a louder voice again

"Potter, fucking put me down" I exclaimed at him, when he put me down aggressively, and pin me on the wall

"Don't use that fucking tone with me" Potter hissed

"What happened to you? You wanted to talk about something serious, why are you all aggressive?" I asked

"It's dragons, dragon's are the next task" Potter opened up

My widened, as I looked at him in shock

"Don't joke around, dragon's are way to dangerous" I chuckled

"I am not fucking joking" Potter said and looked at me in the eye

"Ok? But, what do you have in mind?" I asked

"I don't know, I am way to stressed" Potter said and looked at me, his eyes, flickered with sadness, but they were gone soon, as he looked at my lips

He licked his lips, which quickly caught my attention

"D-don't do this-" I choked out

"What?" Potter asked, a smirk lingering on his face

"That teasing" my chest heaved up and down, as I wrapped my arms around his neck

He slowly came near me, tilting his face to his right

He breathed right on my lips, as I shivered

"Kiss me" I whispered as his lips met mine

We parted away, after a second, and I looked in his eyes, trying to figure out if he regretted it or something

But there was nothing but excitement that lingered in there

I connected our lips again, as he pushed me towards the wall, letting his aggressive side control him again

I moaned in his mouth, but we soon heard the multiple footsteps

We broke apart, and I looked in his eyes, I smiled softly, and pushed him

"Good luck" I wished him luck

I turned around, ready to walk away

When I remembered our challenge

My eyes widened, as I turned around to look at him

Only to find him smirking

He swiped his thumb on his lips, collecting my saliva, and waved at me, walking away

'that bitch'
