Fifteen

It was three weeks after the yule ball. Werid thing was I couldn't remeber what happened when Malcom left me, I knew I was dancing someone after Malfoy but I couldn't.... I wasn't sure.


I was with Simon and Alice when Moody showed up. "Potter." He said. walking over. "Professor McGonagall is looking for you."


"Alright." I said as the three of us gathered our things.


"Just Miss. Potter." He said looking at at my two friends.


I said goodbye to them and made my way down to Professor McGonagall office. I was walking by when I was passing Malfoy and his goons.


"Oh look it's Potter."


I rolled my eyes and continued my way. Malfoy didn't say anything but I knew he would just tease me when he was surrounded, but when it was just me he was not who everyone thought he was.


When I got there I was suddenly put in a trance sleep after they explained everything. We were rowed out on the boats. Dumbledore put us to sleep right before the mere folk started to emerge. I think I might regret this later.


~~~~~~~~~~~~


Harry was really nervous about today's task. He was with Neville and Ron, while looking for his sister, who he couldn't find last night, and Hermione.


"You seem a little tense Harry." Neville commented.


"Do I?"


"Relax mate all is good."


They went on the boats and Harry met up with the other champions. He consumed the gillyweed Neville had given him and wanted to gag. The canon sound and everyone but Harry jumped in. Moody was about to push Harry in but Harry already jumped in. Harry struggled for a bit then suddenly he grew gills and webbing which help him breathe underwater. Please with himself he jump out of the water and then continued to find where this treasure could've been stored. In short he need to find the mermaids. He made through the grindylows and saw four things, or people, there floating in the water. And there one of them was his sister.


"Davina!" He swam over as fast as he could and untied his sister, that's when he notice the other three people. Cho, Hermione, and Fleur's sister.


He saw Credic come and take Cho.


Krum then came and got Hermione.


Harry watch then grabbed his sister, and look around for the merfolk. He released the other girl and swam with both of them in each arm. He was almost there when grindylows started attacking him. He pushed the two girls to the top. Leaving himself to fend off the grindylows.


~~~~~~~~


I felt the air come once we were out of the water. Harry did it. I looked and saw the girl next to me and notice she couldn't swim. I grabbed her trying my best to swim even though I can't. Ron jumped in the water and swam to both of us. He carried us over to the dock as Fleur was extending her hand towards her little sister. Ron pushed me up after her and then I was greeted by Neville wrapping me in a robe and towel. It was really cold. Everyone was cheering but I notice one thing.


I turned around and notice he wasn't around. I went over to the railing and waited but nothing. "Harry!" I shouted as everyone silenced.


There was whispers from the students talking how he probably didnt make it but I quickly block them out.


I took off the towel and was ready to jump back in when Ron grabbed me, pulling me back.


"Ron..."


"He's going to be alright. You can't go back."


I stopped fighting Ron as we waited the hour was over. And suddenly my brother was shooting himself out of the water and fell onto the dock.


Everyone cheered and I rushed over. There was someone wrapping a towel around him as Dumbledore was by his side.


"Harry!" I went to his side.


"Davina." He said embracing me and placing a kiss on my head. "Oh thank merlin you're alright."


"You too, honestly Harry you gave me a heart attack."


Fleur came over and thank Ron and Harry for helping.


"You saved her even though she wasn't yours to save, my little sister."


"I know a lot when it comes to family." Harry repiled looking at me. I smiled and place my head on his shoulder.


"Thank you." She grabbed my brother's face and kiss him on both cheeks. "And you..." She looked at Ron. "you've helped."


"I mean... yeah... yeah of crouse." She smiled and kiss Ron's cheeks as well. I smiled as Ron was stun with pleasure as Fleur left.


Dumbledore had gotten everyone's attention and he and the judges said Harry was second place, due to his outstanding moral fiber, and Diggory frist.


I hugged my brother as everyone congratulated him we walked over to the boats when Harry turned to me.


"Are you mad?"


"What?" I said innocently. "Offering myself as bait or for being your sister?"


"Don't do something like that again." He said.


"Didn't have much of a choice." I told him. "they needed something you'd miss terribly."


He smiled. "I would miss you, sister. More than ever."


"Same applies to you brother." I said.


We reach the shore as Barty Crouch, the minster, had pulled Harry over to talk to him. I smiled and headed to the castle to get dress into drier clothes. I was halfway in the halls, that was empty, when a sense something following me. I turned around and there was nothing there. Clearing my thoughts, I continued walking until I heard a sound of something falling nad crashing into the floor. I whiped around and saw Dobby standing there.


"Dobby?"


"Oh Miss. Potter."


I smiled and walked over to him. He was standing on the window still looking at the armor that had fell.


"Dobby is clumsy, miss."


"It's okay." I said taking the small towel I had, it was mostly dry, and handed it to Dobby. "You must be freezing."


"Thank you, Miss."


"No problem. What brings you here Dobby? Are you looking for more trouble?"


"Oh no." he said smiling. "Dobby doesn't want any trouble Miss, Dobby only wanted to check on Harry and Davina Potter. See Dobby works in the kitchen, Miss. Dobby wanted to make sure you were okay."


"We are both fine." I grabbed something and handed it to him. "I made these, the wrapping might be wet."


Dobby took it and then smiled at me. "Thank you dearest Miss Davina."


"Potter?"


I turned and saw Malfoy walking over.


I looked back at Dobby who look at Malfoy with wide eyes and fear. "Go! I'll distract him. Be good Dobby." I whispered to him.


"Tell Harry Potter I was here."


"Of course Dobby." And he snapped his fingers and vanished.


"Who are you talking to?" Draco asked approaching me.


I looked at him. "The birds." I said. "Athena was here earlier too, I sent her to give something to my aunt and uncle."


He gave me a suspicious look, that said he wasn't buying any of what I was saying. What woukd he know? He doesn't know much about me.


"Athena is my owl." I told him. "I have to go and get into something much drier." I walked around him and headed to the common room.


"Davina." I froze in my tracks when I heard Malfoy say my name. I look at him and he let out a small sigh. "I... It's good to see you're alright."


"Well, it's going to take more than being unconscious underwater to get rid of me that easily. Guess you're stuck with me for much longer Malfoy."


"I wouldn't bet on it, Potter."


And with that I took my leave and went to my dorm and changed.


~~~~~~~~~~


I was sitting around the Great Hall it was almost lunch but I was reading up on a few things.


When Athena flew in and perched herself in front of me. I smiled giving her a piece of bread and she began to eat it. I took the letter from her beak and opened it.


Are you mad?!
You could've died Davina. I thought at first Dumbledore had gotten actual things that each champion treasure. I was looking for you when I notice you weren't around. I thought actually you couldn't bare to watch your brother go through another task. Especially underwater or maybe even have a fear of it. The second Credit came up with Cho, that's when I realize who was the one person Harry Potter values more that life itself. You. I had a heart attack when I realize it was you down there. Weasley was up here, should've been him not you. If Harry didn't get you up in time, I would've gone down and saved you myself. Not to mention if he had came up or forfeit the task form saving you, I would've kill him with my our hands. He was the first one to get there why did he take do bloody long to get you out?
You had me worried for you Davina, don't ever do that again.
-M


I smiled and grabbed a parchment so I could write back.


Thank you for your concern. Glad to know that my death would end with my brother's as well. Believe or not I trusted my brother to save me. Even if he hadn't had the slightest of clue that I was down there. As for why he took long, well there was me Hermione, and Cho down there. Harry doesn't like to leave people to die. He couldn't care to do it. Credirc had shown up and taken Cho, Viktor Hermione. The merfolk kept stoping Harry from saving everyone. Viktor Krum as a shark scared them long enough for him to save me and Fleur's sister.


Don't be harsh on my brother he did the right thing. He's my brother, if you hadn't notice he got me and Fleur's sister to safety he got attack and let us go to the surface. He risked his life for me, just like I did for him. So if being mad was to do so for someone we loved and treasure then yes. Yes, I'm abouslty mad.


I understand that you're angry but please I didn't mean to worry you.


-D


I folded up the letter, placing it in an envelope and Athena finished her bread before taking off.


"Davina." My brother called for me. "Everything alright?"


I shrugged. "What's wrong?" I asked him


"Not here."


Oh.


I quickly grabbed my things and went with Harry out the castle and into the forest. We went somewhere we were sure no one could here us.


"Mr. Crouch is dead."


"What?"


"Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, and I found him in the woods." We walked to the lake and sat there looking out.


"Harry... I don't like this. Your dreams, your scar hurting, the death eaters at the cup, your name being drawn from the goblet,...."


"Not to mention someone been stealing from Snape's store." He said pulling out grass and tossing it into the lake. "Yhat's not all."


'What else is there?"


"I found out about the third man in the dreams." He said looking at me. "It was Mr. Crouch's son."


I began playing with my bracelet nervously. "Harry something bad is going to happen."


"I know."


"What are we going to do?"


"I don't know." I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Are you wearing your bracelet? The one Sirius gave you?"


I nodded showing him along with the two others.


"Srius mention how it was something of an heirloom in his family. He wanted you to have it."


"It's not fair." I whispered. "Wormtail should pay for betraying our parents. Siruius should be here, a free man. I should've done something. And--"


"There's nothing we could've done." Harry said. I could also hear the annoyed bit of his voice knowing this was bothering him as well. "He got. Away and went straight to Voldemort. Maybe one day, we'll get him and then Sirius can be free."


"Do you think they'll cancel the tournement?"


"No they're not. They don't want to appear to seem weak. Some of the ministry don't think Voldemort is out there, all the stuff is happening they want it to be something else."


"But it's not."


"All that matters is we know that." Harry said. "For now that's all that matter. And now I need to prepare for the final task."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"That vile women!" I hissed as we were all sitting by the grfinndor table in the Great hall. "How does she know about this?" I told Harry after I read the prophet.


"Does it matter?" Harry ask. "Better question is how has Rita been getting around the school grounds?"


"I've got it." And with that Hermione left.


We were in the stands where the final task was going to be. It was night and I walked with Harry and Moody as Cedric's father was with him, along with Fleur's sister.


Dumbledore began to instructed the object was to find the cup and grab it only then will the winner of the TriWizard tournament win. The only person who knows where the cup is, is Moody. Cedric and Harry were to go first, followed by Krum and Fleur.


I turned to Harry.


"Goodluck." I said hugging him.


"I'll be fine."


"Just remember if it becomes to much..."


"I know."


We released each other as I stood where Moody was and the canon fired. I watch as Harry went into the mazed and looked back for a moment. The bushes began to close and then it did.


"Come on." Moody said. Walking me to the stands.


I walked over and went up to where, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were at.


"He's going to be okay." Ron said.


"I know." But something didn't make me believe it so. The canon fired again and Krum went running into the maze, while everyone cheered him on. One minute later, the canon fired again and Fleur went in.


We all waited. This was making me on edge. I look at Ron's watch from time to time. It went from one mixture to five, then seven.


Now ten. Twenty. Thirty. Forty....


Suddenly there was a red spark in the air. My heart jump slightly hoping it was Harry. But I knew better.


Someone went in and Fleur came out. She looked passed out. When she came too she didn't understand where she was for a moment. Someone must've pulled her out in time. Harry.


Time ticked again. Five mintues. Ten


I was beginning to play with my hands nervous as the maze spend out someone. Kurm. He jumped up and yelled, which frighten everyone but he was fine. The maze must've gotten to him. That left Cedric and Harry. One mintue. Two minute. Five mintues.


I felt as if something had grabbed me. I looked around and nothing did. I closed my eyes and took small deep breathes. That's when I saw a flash.


I wasn't here, I was in some graveyard. It was Wormtail holding something. There was a flash of green and I reopened my eyes and felt my whole body shaking.


"Davina?" Hermione looked at me.


"I need a moment." I said not feeling so good. I went down the stairs and behind the whole thing and tried to catch my breath.


"Something wrong? Potter?" I heard Malfoy voice. He was walking down the back stairs and headed towards me.


"I'm--"


I bit myself to hold back a scream when something painful and sharp cut my arm. I held in a scream, and muffled it with my mouth closed. I rolled up my selves and saw nothing but a red faded line.


What in Merlin's name?


Mlafoy walked over and looked at my arm. "What's that?"


I felt a bit dizzy and walked over to hold a wooden pole leaning my head against it.


"Potter?"


I finally caught my breathe and stood up.


"What's wrong with you?"


"I..." I took a slow deep breathe. "I get headaches, every now and then." I felt the pain dimmed a bit as I was trying to catch my breathe. "I need a moment itll pass."


"Doesn't explain this." He grabbed my arm that had the faded red line, that I saw was getting darker and spreading more. I looked at his hand for a moment. It felt familiar. Oddly enough.


There was a sharper pain in my head that made my body collaspse to the ground. Malfoy caught me before I hit the ground and held me up. I grabbed onto him and took deep breaths trying to fight through this.


"What is happening to you?"


After a moment the pain stop and everything became clear. I stood back up and held onto the pole.


"Just go Draco." I said taking a few steps to get away.


"Not while you're like this... is this some sick joke?"


I feel a strong pull inside of me. I stumbled back but Malfoy was there to catch me.


"What's wrong?"


"I... I don't know." I felt something pulling me forward. I tried to resist it and closed my eyes. A flash popped up and I saw him... Voldemort.


"Your wand Harry." he said.


I opened my eyes and took deep breaths. "Harry." I looked around and had to get to him somehow. I tried to get up but my body was fighting against me, I was sore everywhere.


"Davina?"


That's when it hit. I felt an about of overwhelming pain. I screamed and Malfoy got his wand and said a spell, which I recognize as a silencing spell, so no one would hear my screams. I fell to the ground and continued to scream as I bit my tongue to keep myself from yelling my lungs out. I felt tears coming down. The pain was unbearable. Draco held me close against him, not letting go which I was thankful for.


"What's happening?"


"The pain make it stop.' I whimpered out. And it came again.


"I'll be back." He said rushing out.


Some part of me trust him to keep his word. I continued to scream in pain, nothing really thinking anything else. The pain was everywhere.


"Potter." I heard someone. The pain eased a bit and that's when I saw Snape and Mcgonagall, with Malfoy on his side.


"The place is spell." Malfoy told Snape.


"Dear child." McGonagall kneeled down towards me. "What's wrong?"


"Make it stop." I whimpered out.


"Make what stop?" Snape asked.


I took deep breaths when the pain came back. I screamed feeling my body wanting to give up and my eyes were flooding with tears. My body moved to ease it but nothing would help, the pain just kept going and going. Never ending. And it seem to hurt more and more everytime.


"Severus we must do something."


Was the last thing I heard before I pass out.
