"Oliver Wood and Athena rose, Dumbledore wants to see you both" I got up and close behind me was Oliver who happened to have the same class as me.
"Do you know what this is about?" I asked him as we followed the teacher in front of us
"I thought you weren't talking to me" he said In a sing song voice and I groaned
"That just reminded me"
"I was kidding! And I have no idea" I pouted nearly the whole way there and any time he looked at me he stifled a laugh.
"You can go in" I walked into the room where our headmaster stood and he indicated with his hand for us to take a seat. He stood there still his eyes flickering between the both of us
"Ummm sorry to interrupt but why have we been called here?" I asked him after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence
"Oh right, ummm well there's no easy way to say this but both you're parents have asked for you're return to you're homes for a few days. You're both attending the same ball I believe and you're train with you're bags have already been packed. Mr Campbell has been informed about this already and I assure you he will tell the others" I sat there contemplating the reasoning my dad would take me out of school for a ball.
"Thank you" Oliver finally said and I nodded.
"Hagrid will direct you to the train" we both exited the room where hagrid was standing. We both glanced at each other before following the older man.

After finally getting home, I put my bags down and went to find my father.
"Do you know where my father is?" I asked the maid at the bottom of the stairs
"I think he's in his study ma'm" I nodded and muttered a 'thank you' before running up the stairs, trying not to trip over.
"You're here!" He said and got up from his seat to hug me.
"I am but dad why am I here and why am I staying at the diggory's over the summer?" He sighed as he knew she was going to ask but he didn't think she would ask this soon
"You're here because there is an ball that has very important people for you're future but the reason why you're staying at theirs over the summer is because we'll...I...I need to track you're mother down. She's dangerous and after you and I can't people get hurt from the hands of her"
"But dad-"
"You're freinds with Cedric aren't you? Why are you so annoyed?"
"I'm not annoyed and yes I am....freinds with Cedric but why can't I help?" I had always felt weak because most of the time men had stepped up for the protection position of my life but I always felt so useless and dreadful when I couldn't done something.

"I told you you're not getting hurt" he said and slouched on his chair from what seemed like a long time. I sighed and responded with:
"Yes father"
"Good now go get the outfit the maid put out for you, the ball is in an hour or so" I nodded before leaving his office. I walked into my room to see a ridiculously exaggerated dress to wear for a ball

I twirled around and smiled at my reflection. It wasn't that bad... there was a knock at my door 20 minutes after I had done my hair and I opened it to see who it was. Oliver wood stood there but now in a suit.
"You're father said I should come fetch you the guests are arriving soon" I nodded and he opened the door for me so I walked through the door.
