Julie Stone was a regular girl; she lived in an orphanage, had some friends, and every now and then would bang her head against the wall due to stress. . . . Normal!
Anyway, all her life Julie never seemed to quite fit in. She loved it, but her life...

Sirius sent Vader back the very next morning. It fluttered down beside Harry. The specky kid took the letter from Vader who then flew to Hermione's shoulder. As Hermione was giving treats to the owl Harry began reading the letter.
Harry — what do you think you are playing at, walking off into the forest with Viktor Krum? I want you to swear, by return owl, that you are not going to go walking with anyone else at night. There is somebody highly dangerous at Hogwarts. It is clear to me that they wanted to stop Crouch from seeing Dumbledore and you were probably feet away from them in the dark. You could have been killed.
Your name didn't get into the Goblet of Fire by accident. If someone's trying to attack you, they're on their last chance. Stay close to Hermione and Ron, do not leave Gryffindor Tower after hours, and arm yourself for the third task. Practice Stunning and Disarming. A few hexes wouldn't go amiss either. There's nothing you can do about Crouch. Keep your head down and look after yourself. I'm waiting for your letter giving me your word you won't stray out-of-bounds again. (Hermione and Ron too)
"Who's he, to lecture me about being out-of-bounds?" said Harry in mild indignation as he folded up Sirius's letter and put it inside his robes. "After all the stuff he did at school!"
"Yeah! What's his deal?" Hermione scoffed while petting Vader.
"I reckon he's worried," shrugged Ron proceeding to shove a spoonful of porridge in his mouth.
"No one's tried to attack me all year," said Harry. "No one's done anything to me at all —"
"Except put your name in the Goblet of Fire," pointed out Hermione.
"Look," said Harry impatiently, "let's say Sirius is right, and someone Stunned Krum to kidnap Crouch. Well, they would've been in the trees near us, wouldn't they? But they waited till I was out of the way until they acted, didn't they? So it doesn't look like I'm their target, does it?"
"Maybe you weren't their target then," said Hermione. "The final task —"
"They didn't care about attacking Krum, did they?" said Harry. "Why didn't they just polish me off at the same time? They could've made it look like Krum and I had a duel or something."
"They could make it look like you ran into a tree," suggested Hermione.
"Or that you accidentally tripped over and fell in a hole," said Ron going along with Hermione.
