Chapter 18

It
was pouring when the got to King�s Cross the next day. The two boys quickly boarded the train,
wanting to escape the pounding water.
Lucius and Narcissa saw them off.
Veneficus had wound himself around Harry�s neck, hanging there
loosely. He had grown over the past few years;
it wouldn�t be long before Harry couldn�t get away with having the snake with
him at school. Veneficus hissed softly
at him, wrapping his tail around his arm.
Augur was staying with Draco�s parents until Narcissa sent their supply
of sweets and cakes. She did that every
month at least, sometimes more. As the
train rolled out of the station Harry leaned his head on Draco�s shoulder.

�We
should go bother the weasel.� Draco said, stroking his hair absently. Harry nodded in agreement, �Your hair�s
getting long, it�s pretty.� He smiled, brushing it
behind his ears.

Harry
smiled, �Let�s go bother the weasel and Mudblood, I wonder if they know what�s
going to happen this year.�

�Well,
the weasel�s father does work at the ministry.� The blonde pointed out.

He
shrugged, �Maybe he will, maybe he won�t.� As he spoke
he got to his feet and went to the door of their compartment, �Come on.�

Draco
smiled and the two of them walked out.
Harry laughed softly when they found them. Weasley was showing a tiny figurine of Krum,
the seeker from the Bulgarian team, to Longbottom. Neville was looking at it happily while
Weasley spoke.

�We
saw him right up close, as well. We were
in the Top Box��

Draco
couldn�t help but interrupt, �For the first and last time in your life, Weasley.�

Harry
chuckled softly, �Weasley�what is that?�
Harry asked, looking a maroon sleeve with a moldy lace cuff hanging over an owl
cage.

Before
Weasley could react, Draco grabbed the sleeve and pulled it out, �Look at
this!� He said, laughing, holding it up for all to see, �Weasley, you weren�t
thinking of wearing these, were
you? I mean, they were very fashionable
in about eighteen ninety��

�Eat
dung, Malfoy!� Weasley said, blushing brightly, his
face was the same color as his robes. He
grabbed them from him while Harry and Draco laughed loudly.

�So�going
to enter, Weasley? Going to try and
bring a bit of glory to the family name?
There�s money involved as well, you know�you�d be able to afford some
decent robes if you won��

�What
are you talking about?� Weasley snapped.

�Are
you going to enter?� Harry said before Draco could repeat it.

�Either
explain what you�re on about or go away, Malfoy.� Granger said over the top of
her book.

�Don�t
tell me you don�t know? You�ve got a
father and brother at the Ministry and you don�t even know? My god, my father told me about it, heard it
from Cornelius Fudge. But then, Father�s
always associated with the top people at the Ministry, maybe your father�s too
junior to know about it, Weasley. Yes,
they probably don�t talk about important stuff in front of him.� The two of
them laughed and left, they had their fun.

�I
can�t believe he didn�t know! That was
priceless, I�m not surprised he has to wear those robes either, this is rich!�
Harry laughed, leaning against a wall for support.

Draco
laughed with him, leaning against him and the wall, �Let�s get back to our
compartment.� He said through his laughter.

Once
they were inside Draco laid a soft, sweet kiss on Harry�s lips, purring. Harry blinked in surprised but returned it
happily, pressing close to the blonde as the rain streamed down the windows. Draco�s hands slide down his back, pressing
closer.

�Oh,
would you two get a room!� Someone said from the door.

They
pulled away quickly, startled. Blaise
Zabini was standing in their door with Crabbe and Goyle. Draco chuckled softly while Harry sat there
blushing, �We have one, this is our compartment after all.� He said with a
smile.

Harry
buried his head in the blonde�s shoulder, still blushing, �Well, the train
isn�t the best place for your first time.� Blaise chuckled softly.

�Trust
me; this is not going to be the place for our first time.� He purred, �I have
that all planned.�

�Draco!�
Harry blushed very brightly, play hitting him.

He
smiled, �Well, I do. It�s not good for a
Malfoy not to plan, love. You�ll learn
what being a Malfoy is. You�re going to
be part of my family after all.�

�I
still have to learn what being a�� He started, then
stopped as he remembered he had an audience.

Draco
chuckled, �Yes you do love, but you�ll learn plenty this up coming year.�

�You
two are adorable, you know that?� Blaise said with a smile, �You�re lucky, I
don�t know who my parents are going to make me marry. I think the two of you are a great match.� He
smiled, then looked thoughtful, �One thing I don�t understand is that if your
father and Potter were enemies how did the two of you become engaged?� Harry
shrugged, he knew the answer but wasn�t sure if he should tell Blaise or
not. They were supposed to keep his
lineage a secret after all, �Oh well, it�s not really important. I just hope I�m as lucky as you are Draco.�
He said before walking out, �I�ll see you guys when we get to school.� He said,
waving to them.

They
waved back. Crabbe and Goyle followed
Blaise out. Ever since Harry and Draco
had started hanging out together they had dismissed the two goons, not feeling
as though they really needed bodyguards.
The two of them had started following Blaise around. He didn�t really care if they did or not so
they continued doing it.

�Now
where were we?� Draco asked, pulling Harry close, �Oh yes, I remember.� He
smiled, kissing him softly, his hands sliding down his back.

Harry
groaned softly into his mouth, wrapping his arms around him, and pressing close. A low purr escaped Draco�s lips as he pulled
him flush against him. Carefully he slid
a hand inside Harry�s robes, brushing lightly over his chest. The green-eyed boy moaned and arched into his
touch.

�Drac.� He moaned, �We�re almost there.�

He
sighed and pulled back, pouting slightly, �You�re spoiling my fun.�

�I�m
sorry but this isn�t really the place.� He said, nuzzling him.

He
sighed, �I know, I know, let�s change into our robes.�

Quickly
they changed; Draco really wanted to continue where they had left off. Harry sat in his lap, head resting on his
shoulder, �We�re almost there.� He said softly, yawning slightly, �And you�re
really comfy.�

Draco
smiled, wrapping his arms around him, �Too bad, isn�t it?� He questioned,
nibbling lightly on his ear.

He
groaned softly, �Cut it out Drac, we�re almost there.� He didn�t really want
him to stop but he was being practical.
It wouldn�t do for a teacher to see them in such a compromising
position, �You can cuddle and kiss me tonight when we go to bed.� He said
firmly.

The
horseless carriages were awaiting them when they arrived, as well as more rain. It was coming down in icy sheets as they
boarded the carriages. Draco and Harry managed
to get one to themselves; Harry spent the ride from
Hogsmeade to Hogwarts leaning against the blonde wizard. When the carriages stopped they quickly
jumped out, running quickly into the entrance hall, soaking wet.

�Gah, I hate this!� Harry said, shaking some of the water
off.

Draco
chuckled softly. Suddenly a large water
balloon descended from the air landing right on Weasley�s head. Draco and Harry burst into laughter. Another balloon splashed against the floor. McGonagall came running in, yelling at the
culprit, Peeves, the resident poltergeist.
They hurried into the Great Hall before they could get pelted by falling
balloons. They took their seats at the
Slytherin table, waiting for the Sorting to begin and the food to be placed
before them. The doors swung open and
the first years were ushered in. They
looked positively soaked and one was wearing Hagrid�s large coat, obviously
something had happened on their way across the lake. The room went silent as the hat began its
song.

A
thousand years or more ago,

When
I was newly sewn,

There
lived four wizards of renown,

Whose
names are still well known:

Bold
Gryffindor, from wild moor,

Fair
Ravenclaw from glen,

Sweet
Hufflepuff, from valley broad,

Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.

They
shared a wish, a hope, a dream,

They
hatched a daring plan

To
educate young sorcerers

Thus
Hogwarts School
began.

Now
each of these four founders

Formed
their own house, for each

Did
value different virtues

In
the ones they had to teach.

By
Gryffindor, the bravest were

Prized
far beyond the rest;

For
Ravenclaw, the cleverest

Would
always be the best;

For
Hufflepuff, hard workers were

Most
worthy of admission;

And
power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.

While
still alive they did divide

Their
favorites from the throng,

Yet
how to pick the worthy ones

When
they were dead and gone?

�Twas Gryffindor who found the way,

He
whipped me off his head

The
founders put some brains in me

So
I could choose instead!

Now
slip me snug about your ears,

I�ve
never yet been wrong,

I�ll
have a look inside your mind

And
tell where you belong!

Applause
rang out through the hall when it finished and McGonagall began to read off
names, �Ackerly, Stewart!�

�RAVENCLAW!�

�Baddock, Malcolm!�

�SLYTHERIN!�

Harry
and Draco cheered as he sat down at the table.
Welcoming to the house of snakes. They half listened to the continuation of the
sorting, just listening for other Slytherin.
If no one else would cheer for them then they wouldn�t cheer for the
other houses, not that they would have cheered Gryffindor for any reason as it
is.

�Pritchard,
Graham!�

�SLYTHERIN!�

Another
round of cheers and applause came from the Slytherin table. Harry and Draco once again welcomed him. It didn�t take much longer for the sorting to
come to a close and for Dumbledore to stand.
He smiled at all of them, �I have only two words to say to you. Tuck in.�

The
tables filled with food and they began to eat.
Even though they were hungry, both Harry and
Draco, as well as the rest of the Slytherins, had impeccable manners. Through the course of their meal Harry
glanced over at the Gryffindor table.
Granger and Weasley were talking to their house�s ghost. Apparently something that was said upset
Granger as she put her knife and fork down, pushing it away. Harry scowled, wondering what her problem
was, it was perfectly good food.

�Look
at the Mudblood.� Harry said softly to the blonde by his side.

Draco
looked over and laughed, �I wonder what he problem is.� He said, continuing to
eat, �Something wrong with her dinner?� He questioned, taking another bite of
food.

Harry
smiled, �Seems like it.�

Finally
dinner was finished and the tables were cleared, �So! Now that we are all fed and watered, I must
ask for you attention, while I give out a few notices.� Dumbledore said,
looking out over the sea of students, �Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me
to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle has this year
been extended to include Screaming Yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees, and Ever-Bashing
Boomerangs. The full list comprises some
four hundred and thirty-seven items, I believe, and can be viewed in Mr.
Filch�s office, if anybody would like to check it. As ever, I would like to remind you all that
the forest on the grounds is out-of-bounds to students, as is the village
of Hogsmeade to all below third
year.� He paused for a moment, �It is also my painful duty to inform you that
the Inter-House Quidditch Cup will not take place this year.� He said, waiting
for the commotion from his announcement to die down. Harry and Draco looked at each other in
shock. They may not have played but they
did enjoy it, �This is due to an event that will be starting in October, and
continuing throughout the school year, taking up much of the teachers� time and
energy, but I am sure you will all enjoy it immensely. I have great pleasure in announcing that this
year at Hogwarts��

The
door slammed open and all heads turned to look.
A man with dark grey hair, odd, mismatched eyes, and scars walked
in. He limped and it was obvious as to
why if you listened. The sound of a
wooden clunk could be heard as he walked.
He stopped in front of the head table and shared a few words with
Dumbledore before sitting to the right of him.
He began to eat from a plate of sausages. The strange blue eye rolled around in the
socket, gazing at everything and nothing.

�May
I introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts
teacher? Professor Moody.� His voice was
bright and happy. The entire hall was
silent, not a single word passed any of their lips, �As I was saying.�
Dumbledore continued, �We are to have the honor of hosting a very exciting
event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a
century. It is my very great pleasure to
inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be
taking place at Hogwarts this year.�

�You�re
JOKING!� One of the two Weasley twins said, loud enough for the whole hall to
hear.

Harry
and Draco chuckled, already knowing about the Tournament, �I am not joking, Mr.
Weasley, though now that you mention it, I did hear an excellent one over the
summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar�� He
started but the sound of McGonagall clearing her throat loudly brought him back
to the topic at hand, �Er�but maybe this is not the
time�no�Where was I? Ah yes, the Triwizard Tournament�well, some of you will not know what
this tournament involves, so I hope those who do know will forgive me for
giving a short explanation, and allow their attention to wander freely.�

As
he spoke Veneficus decided to make himself known, <Master, I�m cold.> He grumbled

Harry
rolled his eyes, <Hush, I�ll warm you
up after the idiot is done speaking.
Can�t have you running around out in the open when I�m not even supposed
to have you.>

�The
Triwizard Tournament was first established some seven
hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest European
schools of wizardry: Hogwarts,
Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. A champion was
selected to represent each school, and the three champions competed in three
magical tasks. The schools took it in
turns to host the tournament once every five years, and it was generally agreed
to be a most excellent way of establishing ties between young witches and
wizards of different nationalities�until, that is, the death toll mounted so
high that the tournament was discontinued.
There have been several attempts over the centuries to reinstate the
tournament, none of which has been very successful. However, our own departments of International
Magical Cooperation and Magical Games and Sports have decided the time is ripe
for another attempt. We have worked hard
over the summer to ensure that this time; no champion will find himself or
herself in mortal danger. The heads of
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving with their short-listed contenders
in October, and the selection of the three champions will take place at
Halloween. An impartial judge will
decide which students are most worthy to compete for
the Triwizard Cup, the glory of their school, and a
thousand Galleons personal prize money.� He paused for a moment, �Eager though
I know all of you will be to bring the Triwizard Cup
to Hogwarts, the heads of the participating schools along with the Ministry of
Magic, have agreed to impose an age restriction on contenders this year. Only students who are of age, that is to say,
seventeen years or older, will be allowed to put forward their names for
consideration. This is a measure we feel
is necessary, given that the tournament tasks will still be difficult and dangerous,
whatever precautions we take, and it is highly unlikely that students below
sixth and seventh year will be able to cope with them. I will personally be ensuring that no
underage student hoodwinks our impartial judge into making them Hogwarts champion. I therefore beg you not to waste your time
submitting yourself if you are under seventeen.� The entire student body was
disgruntled at hearing about the restriction, �The delegations from Beauxbatons
and Durmstrang will be arriving in October and remaining with us for the
greater part of this year. I know that
you will all extend every courtesy to our foreign guests while they are with
us, and will give your whole-hearted support of the Hogwarts champion when he
or she is selected. And now, it is late,
and I know how important it is to you all to be alert and rested as you enter
your lessons tomorrow morning. Bedtime!
Chop chop!�

With
a sigh they all made their way towards their dorms, Draco and Harry
side-by-side. Veneficus hissed
disgruntled from beneath his robes.
Harry hissed back at him sharply.
Draco chuckled softly.

�Veneficus angry?� He questioned with a smile.

�Yes.�
Harry grumbled, �He won�t stop complaining about being cold.�

�Well,
he is a snake. They are cold blooded.�

Harry
rolled his eyes, �I know that.� He said, stopping in front of the entrance to
their common room. A prefect had told
them the password at dinner so they wouldn�t have to walk down with the first
years, �Darkness Falls.�
He said absently. The wall slid open and
the two of them walked in, �Let�s go to bed, I�m tired. That way Veneficus can warm up too.� He
sighed and walked into their room, Draco pounced him
once they were inside, pressing him onto the bed and laying kisses all over his
neck and face. Harry laughed softly,
squirming, �H-Hey!� He said, Veneficus slithered off his arm and curled up in
the blankets with a happy hiss.

Draco
pulled back, looking down at him, �Are you complaining? Don�t like attention from me now?� He
questioned, gazing into his emerald eyes.

�I
do but it�s late and we have to actually get up in the morning. But I do want to cuddle with you.� He purred,
running his hands down his back.

He
smiled, �Alright. I can live with that.�
He purred, beginning to strip his companion.
Slipping his school robe off his shoulders, �You know what?� He
questioned, looking down at him with a smile, �You�re gorgeous.� Harry blushed
and Draco finished stripping him, �Ego te amo.� He whispered, stripping himself, �Now get in bed so I
can cuddle with you.� He demanded with a smile.

Harry
eagerly jumped under the blankets, looking up at him, waiting for him to
join. Draco slunk under the covers with
him, wrapping his arms around him and holding him close, �Ego te amo.� Harry replied, laying
his head on his chest.
