Soulmates

Chapter Thirteen

Genevieve’s P.O.V
It was finally the day of the first task and I was feeling nervous as both Harry and I were pacing back and forth, “how do you feel” I asked him, “could be better I guess, how about you” he said sounding nervous, “pretty much feeling the same thing” I told him until we heard someone on the other side of the tent until we heard it was Hermione, “Harry, Genevieve? Is that you?” she asked and Harry replied, “yeah” he whispered, “how are you two feeling? Ok?” she asked, “could be worse” I answered before she spoke up again, “the key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to-” she said before we cut her off, “Battle a Dragon” we said at the same time before she rushed in and hugged me before hugging Harry and just when she did so, a flash had gone off and we turned to see that it was Rita Skeeter, “young love” she said as she walked towards them, “if everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page” she said to Harry and Hermione and I just stood there thinking of what to say until Viktor spoke up, “you have no business here. This tent is for Champions, and friends” he said and I shrugged, “no matter. We’ve got what we wanted” she said and I spoke up, “and what would that be, Two friends hugging” I said as she turned and checked me out before turning and walking away and that was when Professor Dumbledore walked in with Madam Maxine, Igor Karkaroff and Mr. Crouch, “good day Champions. Gather around please. Now you’ve waited, you’ve wondered, and at last the moment has arrived, a moment only five of you can fully appreciate” he said until he noticed Hermione, “what are you doing here Miss Granger” he said to her, “oh, um, sorry I’ll just go” she said and left the tent, “Barty the Bag” he said and Mr. Crouch walked up with a small bag in his hands, “Champions, ina circle around me” he said as he arranged us, “now Miss Delecour if you will” he said as she reached her hand in the bag, “the Welsh Green” he told her before going to Krum, “the Chinese Firebolt, Oooo” he said before turning to Cedric, “the Swedish Short-Snout” he said and turned to me and I reached my hand into the bag and pulled out a small dragon, “the Antipodean Opaleye” he said as I looked at the dragon and Harry pulled out the Hungarian Horntail, “these represent Five very real Dragons. Each of which has been given a golden egg to protect. Your objective is simple, collect the egg. This you must do, for each egg contains a clue without which you cannot hope to proceed to the next task. Any questions” he said and nobody answered and Dubledore spoke up, “very well. Good luck champions. Mr. Diggory at the sound of the cannon you may-” he began to say until the cannon went off and Cedric soon stood at the exit, “good luck Cedric” I said and he turned to face me and he nodded and Dumbledore came over, “Miss. Genevieve you are up next after Mr. Diggory alright” he said and I nodded and paced back and forth feeling nervous until I soon heard my name, “good luck Genny” he said and I smiled, “thanks and the same goes for you” I said and walked out to see everyone and the egg in the middle of the arena and as soon as I took a step, that was when it had begun when the Dragon soon came for me and after sometime had gone by and I had finally gotten the Golden Egg and everyone cheered and I soon left the arena and waited for the Tournament to end.

By the time the Tournament had finally ended, everyone had later left the stadium and headed back to the Castle and not long after we had arrived back into the Gryffindor Common Room and both Fred and George had Harry and I on either of their shoulders as everyone around us cheered, “SHUSH” we heard Seamus say, “go on Harry, Genny. What’s the clue” he said as he gave us the eggs, “who wants us to open them” he said as everyone shouted before saying the same thing again, “well go on Harry you go first then” and when he did a loud shrieking came from it and everyone covered their ears after both Harry and I were dropped from the twins shoulders until he finally closed it, “well I guess that cuts me out from opening mine” I said until everyone heard Ron speak up, “what the bloody hell was that” he said as everyone turned, “alright everyone, go back to your knitting. This is going to be uncomfortable enough without all of you nosy sods listening in” on of the twins said as Ron walked up to both Harry and I, “I reckon you have to be barking mad to put your own names in the Goblet of Fire” he said to us, “caught on have you? Took you long enough” Harry said to him, “finally came to your senses I see” I said after, “I wasn’t the only one who thought either of you had done it. Everyone was saying it behind your backs” Ron told us, “of course they would, it’s not like they had anything better to do” I said to them as Harry looked around, “Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better” Harry said before Ron spoke up again, “at least I warned you about the Dragons though” he said, “Hagrid warned us about the Dragons” Harry said, “well yes but also Ron did as well as he had Hermione try telling us the same thing” I said, “No, no, no, Genny’s right I did don’t you remember, I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Pavarti told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we’d be alright you know, after you figured that out” Ron said to us, “who could possibly figure that out, that’s completely mental” Harry asked and I furrowed my brows, “he’s got a point on that one” I said before Ron spoke up again, “yeah. Isn’t it?. I suppose I was a bit distraught” he said and heard Hermione whispered, “Boys” I heard her Whispered, “couldn’t agree more” I said to her and we giggled before I decided to put the egg in my shared room before deciding to get cleaned up and getting changed.  

By the time I finished getting cleaned up, I decided to go for a walk to think and so that I can clear my head until I found myself until my mind went to Remus and wondered how he was doing but I was soon brought out of my thought’s when I bumped into someone and saw that It was Aunt Minerva, “oh hello dear, I’ve been meaning to talk with you after the First Task was over” she said as we both started walking, “so how are feeling dear” she asked and I sighed, “feeling better now I got the first task over with” I answered, “well I’m just glad you’re alright and by the way on Christmas eve there will be a dance called the Yule Ball that happens during the TriWizard Tournament tomorrow and all of Gryffindor will meet to practice and talk about it” she told me and I smiled a little as I thought about what it would be like with Remus and I dancing until I was brought out of my thought’s again, “you’re thinking about him aren’t you” she asked and I nodded, “ya I am, I’m just worried about him I guess” I told her sighing, “I understand dear, but he will come around eventually, just give him some time alright” she said and I nodded, “ya and Sirius pretty much said the same thing when he wrote to me” I said with a chuckle, “well I’m glad he’s telling you how he’s doing but anyways, you should probably head to bed, it’s getting late” she told me and we hugged before going our separate ways for the night and I went to my shared Dorm Room to see Hermione Reading a book, “hey Genevieve, how are you doing” she asked as I got into bed, “I’m alright, just glad I got the first Task done and over with” I told her before she put her book away, “goodnight Hermione” I said as I pulled the covers over, “goodnight Genevieve” she answered back and we both fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow.

Sorry for the short Chapter
