Viola couldn't sleep, the sound of the rain pelting the windows had kept her up long into the night. Deciding she didn't want to wake Hermione, Lavender and Parvati she wrapped a blanket her dad and knitted her around her shoulders and padded down into the common room.

She rubbed her eyes as Harry stood there calling for Sirius.

"Potter? What on earth are you doing right now?" She asked bluntly

Harry nearly jumped out of his skin turning around.

"Er- nothing?" He replied

"I'm not fucking stupid... unlike some people. Why were you calling Sirius? If I'm not mistaken he's far away from here"

"Shhh" Harry shushed "fine, he said he'd meet me here tonight"

"Why?"

"You ask too many questions"

"Well I wouldn't have to if you just explained"

"He wants to talking to me about the tournament"

Viola only hummed in response as she picked up a copy of the daily prophet someone had left behind.

Reading the article on the front she had to slap her hand over her mouth to prevent her loud laugh from waking people up. "Harry Potter, aged 12, suspect entrant in the Triwizard Tournament. His eyes swimming with the ghost of his past, and chocking back tears-" Viola had to stop reading as she wiped a tear away off her cheek "aged 12" she snickered happily. "Come here" she said grabbing Harry and pulling him towards her, her hands on his face.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked Viola confused and slightly worried, yet he did nothing to pull away as Viola gazed into his eyes.

"Checking your eyes for the ghost of your past obviously" she laughed pulling away leaving Harry slightly stunned at their proximity "your face was priceless" she laughed flopping down on the sofa and picking up the paper ready to start reading again.

Harry snapped out of her Veela trance and snatched the paper out of her hands and threw it into the fire.

"You're really fucking annoying you know that?" Harry scowled

"Thank you" Viola grinned sarcastically.

The fire started hissing interrupting the pairs bickering.

They watched the fire as the face of Sirius started to appear in the coals.

"Sirius? How..." Harry started

"I don't have much time, Harry- and Viola?"

"Sup" Viola waved into the fire in response.

"Since when we're you too friends?"

"We're not" they replied simultaneously

"Let me get straight to it, Harry, did you or did you not put your name into the goblet of Fire?"

"No!"

"Shh!" Viola hushed

"I had to ask, now tell me about this dream of yours"

"Dream?" Viola questioned "I hope you're not having nightmares Potter" she pouted

Harry only rolled his eyes as he listened to Sirius continue

"You mentioned Wormtail and Voldemort, but who was the third man in the room"

Violas ears perked up

"I don't know"

"You didn't hear a name?

"No, Voldemort was giving him some sort of job to do. Something important"

"And what was that?"

"He wanted... me. I don't know why but he was going to use this man to get to me. I mean, it was only a dream, right?"

"Yes... just a dream" Sirius hesitantly agreed

"Nah you're fucked. I've said it before, I'll say it again" Viola piped up

"Vi? Is now really the time?" Sirius asked

"Sorry my bad!" Viola raised her arms up in surrender.

"Look Harry, the death eaters at the World Cup, your name rising from that goblet-these are not just coincidences. Hogwarts isn't safe anymore"

"Well that's reassuring" Viola muttered to herself "he has a talent for pep talks"

"What are you saying?" Harry asked Sirius confused

"I'm saying the Devils are inside the walls, Igor Karkaroff. He was a death eater, and no one stops being a death eater! Then there's Barty crouch. Heart of stone, sent his own son to Azkaban"

"Do you think one of them put my name in the goblet?" Harry rushed

"I haven't a clue who put your name in that goblet Harry but whoever did is no friend to you. People die in this tournament"

"Before we start pointing fingers, I swear it wasn't me" Viola interrupted

"I'm not ready for this" Harry gulped

"You don't have a choice!"

Harry and Viola turned around as they heard shuffling from the top of the stairs.

"Someone coming!"

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer  Harry!" Sirius said as he quickly disappeared

"No thanks! I'm good thank you" Viola grimaced

"I thought I heard talking" Ron said walking down the stairs and spotting Harry and Viola "what were you taking about?" Ron asked suspiciously

"Just some good old quality bonding" grinned Viola

"You hate each other" Ron Blanched

"Whatttt? That's totally not trueeee" Viola sung in reply. The answer hurting her slightly as the words fell out of her mouth.

Ron frowned at the two unconvinced and stalked back up to bed.

"Good luck with not dying this year Harold. You'll need it" Viola winked leaving Harry alone in the common room.
