So obviously I picked Selena Gomez to play Gracie. Welp. I just now learned that she has a new little sister named Gracie! I was like hahaha that's ironic!!!! Anyways, here is the chapter!!!(:

The rest of the week was so fun! I got to practice magic with Tonks, Uncle Moony and I spent hours talking and catching up. Harry and I got to spend alone time together, Mum and Dad helped us look for ways to breathe underwater, and we've spent a lot of time with the kids. But it's that day, the day of our interview. We leave in a few minutes and the interviews start immediately.

"Bye Daddy! By Mum!" I hugged them each, Dad kissed my head and Mum hugged me tight.

"We'll miss you!" They chorused, smiling at me. Harry, whom I'd finally talked into picking up Lilly on his own, came through, both the twins in hand. I squealed, holding my arms out. He gave me both, smiling at me.

"Oh I'll miss you!" I kissed Lilly's head. "And I'll miss you bubby!" I kissed James' head. "Sissy will be back soon okay? You stay here with Mummy and Daddy and you be good!" I laughed, hugging them both. They were taken from me and I turned to Uncle Moony, who kept sneaking peaks at Tonks. "I'll miss you!"

"I'll miss you too kiddo!" He smiled, pulling me into a hug.

"Go get her!" I whispered, pulling away from the hug. He blushed, but nodded anyway. He gave me a big smile before I turned to Tonks. "I'm going to miss you and your little metamorphogus powers!" I laughed, hugging her tightly. I watched her hair turn blue, which happens when she's sad. Yeah, blue for the blues, cool right?

"I'll miss you too little cuz! Write me!" I nodded, pulling away from the hug. Harry took my hand and we walked over to the fireplace, we all exchanged one last smile before Harry flooed us to the castle.

"Ah! We'll start with the youngest two!" She grabbed Harry's hand before we fully landed, pulling him away and into a broom cupboard. Fleur sighed, pulling me into a hug.

"Should I be jealous?"

She and Cedric started laughing, I think I even saw a hint of a smile from Viktor. "Vee 'ave been vaiting!" He smiled, standing up and walking over to us.

"Sorry! I have a little brother and sister, and I miss them so much! And my parents are like THE coolest parents ever! And my godfather, who I call my Uncle but isn't really family, yeah, he likes my cousin Tonks and if they got together he would be family and that would be brilliant! And Tonks is an auror and she's so funny! Boo! I miss them!" I rambled, finishing of with a pout. They all laughed, even Krum. "How was your all's break?"

"It vas good!" Krum nodded, sitting back down in an arm chair. I smiled, glad that he was finally opening up.

"I got to see my leetle seester again!" Fleur smiled happily, so I returned it, hugging her. "Gracie?"

"Hm?"

"Will you be my temporary seester? You're close enough!" Fleur smiled, hugging me back. I nodded, not able to speak. She thinks of me as a sister! Ooh, I bet you I could play match maker! Bill or Charlie would love Fleur! Probably Bill! "Thank you!"

"Well, my holiday was good! I spent the time with my dad!" Cedric smiled, clapping his hands together. "We spent most of our time playing quidditch!"

"Brilliant!" I smiled. The door opened.

"She's mad!" Harry said, his eyes wide. He looked absolutely appalled. "She wants you!" Harry pointed at me, shaking his head. As I walked towards the closet, I noticed the others questioning Harry on what she asked.

"Ah! Gracelyn! Nice to see you again!"

"Please, it's Gracie!" I smiled, shaking her hand. "And it's so nice to see you too!"

"You don't mind if I use a quick quotes quill do you? Makes things go faster!" She smiled, waving her wand, but I know quick quotes quill! It made me fail a test because it cut so much out and changed so much! Nope. Uh huh!

"Actually, I'd prefer you didn't! And if we're going to do this, for protection purposes that is, I'd like the right to review what's written before its published! And if you change anything afterwards, I will make you pay!" I smiled sweetly, batting my eyes. She smirked, nodding at me.

"Smart girl! You would make a good auror! A better journalist!" She winked, pulling out a regular quill. I giggled, nodding. "So, tell me, how are you and Harry?"

"Brilliant! He's so amazing! Not only are we dating, but he's my best friend, so he knows me more than I know myself!" I giggled, thinking of Harry and I.

"How sweet! Is it true you sleep in his t-shirts?"

"Uh, how'd you know that?"

"I have my sources," she smirked, scribbling that part down.

"Well yeah, I do. I feel closer to him. And they're REALLY comfy!" I laughed, she joined in, scribbling it down. "So, anything else?"

"Yes. Tell us, how do you feel about the tournament?"

"Oh. That thing." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Well, I'm not exactly excited. People die in these things, and to be honest, that scares me! But I have so much to fight for! So many people to win for, Harry being one! So, I guess you could say, while it scares me, I know I can do it. I'm scared, yet I'm not scared!" I said, peaking at her notes. Everything was exactly as said, I guess it's interesting enough!

"So, Professor Moody told us of some of your accomplishments, how did you feel about that?"

I blushed. "He was bragging. A lot. In first year, I was only near the troll because my good friend Hermione was upset. I was checking on her. Harry and Ron fought it, and we wouldn't have made it past the chess stage with out Ron, and Harry was with me when we met Voldemort. Second year, it was only right, to avenge my Dad and free him. And any big sister would want to protect their little sister! Harry was the real hero there, he saved me from the chamber of secrets! Once I was down there, there wasn't much I could do! That was all him! And last year, yeah. That bloody curse, pardon my language. I had the same motivation I do for this tournament! My friends and family, all the people who care about me!" I reasoned, not wanting to sound conceited.

"I didn't hear anything about that snake! And you didn't mention making Moody do a back handspring last week either!" She wiggled her eyebrows, smirking at me. I groaned, smiling a bit.

"Your a good reporter, you know that? I don't even know how I did it to be honest! We were practicing the imperious curse. When I fought back, he yelled in my head. So I yelled back, 'no you do it!' And boom! He's doing it!" I shook my head, I still want to know how I did that! "And the snake, well, I got lucky. I should have just walked away, but I didn't want to leave the equipment laying on the field. But you already have that story!" I waved it off, but her eyes widened in excitement.

"So modest! It was more than luck! Everyone says your a fighter an I think we can all see that! You know, we never got that story from you?" She sounded so eager!

"It was nothing. A couple of Slytherin boys were upset with me, because my cousin Draco. We don't get along now, but we did then, and they didn't like that. Well anyway, one thing led to another and wands were pulled. I started out just trying to defend myself, but, wow, I really sound like I'm trying to make them the bad guy! I swear, I'm not! But one of them conjured that snake and then I fought back. I did fight mback. I got mad that they would do that, and then it bit me. I lost my temper, and I'm not proud of that. But it's in the past!" I shrugged, biting my lip to look away.

"Thank you Gracie! We'd love to talk to you more, but we do have other champions!" She smiled, motioning towards the door. I nodded, taking my leave. I walked in, sending Cedric. Might as well get Hogwarts all at once!

"You vere in there for a vhile?" Viktor said, looking over from his spot. "It vas too quiet!" He smirked, reaching over to ruffle my hair. I scowled swatting at his hand. Everyone but me laughed, Bagman, Dumbledore, Karkaroff, Maxine, everyone.

"I had to make my negotiations clear!" I chirped, laying on the couch, beside Harry.

"Negotiations?" He asked, wrapping an arm around me. I nodded.

"She wanted to use a quick quotes quill, but I used one once and it changed things. Made them more dramatic, left things out. I failed a test, so I told her to write it and that I wanted to check it before it was published and that she wouldn't change it afterwards if she was smart!" I shrugged, yawning. It's sad, only half a day and I'm already tired!

"You are very smart!" Fleur beamed, patting my head. I feel like a dog. Ruff!

No. Never will I ever do that again!

Once all the interviews were done, we took pictures. Rita put Harry and I up close, front and center. I held his hand out of habit, but she absolutely loved that. Fleur stood beside me, arm around my waist. Cedric was on the other side of Harry, using him as an arm rest, and Viktor was behind us, wrapping his arm around Harry and I's shoulders. It was a cute picture, but she had to take two. The first one, Viktor didn't smile, so I made him.

I won't tell you how.

"Okay! Back to classes!" Grandma McGonagall clapped her hands, ushering us out the door. Potions. With Snape. Joy!

"Your late!" He barked, glaring at Harry an I.

"We had a thing for the tournament Sir!" I whispered, taking my seat. He only narrowed his eyes.

"No excuses Miss Black! That tournament is not the answer to everything!" He snapped. "Turn to page four hundred twenty-three!" I did so, grabbed my ingredients, and Harry and I started our potion. "That will be twenty points from Gryffindor!" He said, coming up behind us, that smug grin on his face. Greasy haired git!

I flipped him off when he turned his back. Lady like, I know! "Don't!" Harry whispered, shoving my hand down. "Allow me!" He flipped him off, making a funny face. I laughed, grabbing the attention of several people. We ignored them, continuing to work on our potion in silence.

"So, how was your interview?" I whispered, adding some stuff to the potion. He grimaced, cutting whatever that is a little harder than necessary.

"She lied! 'Harry's eyes gleamed with the ghosts of his past?' No. No they didn't!" He whisper shouted, sneaking glances at Snape. I giggled, shaking my head. "That stupid quick quotes quill! Did she ask you about our relationship too?"

"Yep!" I said, popping the 'p'. He rolled his eyes, a smile on his face. "I didn't get to hear what you said!" I giggled, nudging his side. He smirked, dang.

"Wait till it's published!"

"Oh but you see! You were part of my negotiations!" I smirked, his eyes widened, but I think his smile grew. "So if you don't tell me, well, I'll see it anyway!" I shrugged, smiling to myself. Bluffing is fun! Maybe it'll work!

"That's not fair!" He shouted, laughing at me. Several people shushed him. Nat was pointing behind us frantically, I ducked, right as Harry got hit in the head with a work book.

"Be Quiet!" Snape hissed, walking away. I laughed, covering my hand so it wouldn't be so loud as I watched Harry rubbing his head. I turned to Nat to say thanks, but she didn't see me. So I just told Mione to tell her. Mione looked angry. George threw a paper ball at Ron, who opened it up, shook his head, and asked a question. George looked around the room, found Angelina and threw the paper at her. She looked up, quite irritated.

'Will you go to the ball with me?' He mouthed, she nodded, smiling, then Ron got all depressed looking, he said something to Mione, she hissed back, then got up, shoved her work at Snape and stormed out.

"Wonder what Ron did now?" I asked, turning back to Harry. He nodded, looking back at me. "Soooo, we're almost done?"

"I don't know! I thought you were the smart one!" He laughed, wrapping an arm around my waist. I laughed too, smiling up at him. Nat started waving frantically, she even stood up, my eyes widen and I went to duck, but it didn't matter. He grabbed my head, banging it with Harry's.

"Ouch!" I grumbled, glaring at Snape's retreating figure. When I saw Ron laughing, I picked up a beetle and smirked. "Watch and learn young seeker!" I giggled, aiming for Ron's laughing face.

Boom! Perfect shot!

Harry cracked up laughing as the beetle landed in his mouth. Ron looked mortified, spitting it out and sending a glare straight at me. I gave him my best innocent smile. "That was brilliant!" Harry laughed, giving me a high five. I smiled, took our work up to Snape, and came back.

"Oh you don't have to carry my bag! I can get it."

"I know. But I want to!" He smiled, kissing my cheek. I giggled, and as silly as it sounds, I blushed. I took his free hand, leading him out of the room. "Where to? The library? The common room? Lunch?"

I laughed, turning back to give him a smile. "Is that your way of telling me your hungry?" He nodded. "Come on then! Lets go!" I laughed, hugging him. We walked to the hall, chatting about nothing in particular. Quidditch, the twins, hating Snape. The usual.

"I can't believe you did that!" Ron bellowed, slamming his books onto the table. I laughed, watching as Nat and Fred walked in, still laughing and clutching their sides. "Who says I was even laughing at you?"

"Who says that's even why I did it?" I smirked, grabbing the treacle tart in front of me. With out thinking, I broke it in half and gave some to Harry. He kissed my cheek with a smile. Ron looked like he was going to be sick. Ew.

"Awe! Isn't it worlds cutest couple!" Nat laughed, sitting down. "Carrying her bag, splitting his favorite food, getting your heads knocked together, shooting a beetle down your brothers throat!"

I laughed, but blushed a little bit. I didn't know anyone noticed those things. I mean, sure they'd notice Snape banging our heads together, but the little thing that makes our relationship more special, who would have thought other people would notice? Fleur skipped up to our table, taking a seat beside me. "Hello!" She smiled, kissing each of my cheeks. I smiled, lifting the tips of my hair. Blonde. Fleur laughed, smiling at me. "Can we talk?" I nodded, standing up. I kissed Harry's cheek.

"I'll be back!"

"Be careful!" He smiled, starting up a conversation with Ron and Nat. Ginny and Mione were already chatting away. I followed Fleur out of the hall and into the girls' lavatory.

"Did you find out the egg?" She smiled, her eyes darting to the sink.

"Cedric sent me an owl. Who found out first this time?" I teased, rolling my eyes a bit.

"Viktor! He told me, and I told Cedric. He said he'd pass it on! Mother says she's never seen champions as close as the five of us!" She laughed, hugging me a bit. I smiled, hugging her back, and then I lifted myself onto a sink, sitting in the ledge and swinging my legs back and forth. "So, I saw you and Harry?" She smiled, elbowing me. I rolled my eyes. Honestly, she's worse than Natalyn and Mione! "He carries your bag?"

"Sometimes." I shrugged, thinking of Harry brought a smile to my lips. "He does sweet stuff like that all the time. Honestly, if I were to ask him to go into Madam Pudifoot's tea shop in Hogsmeade I'm almost positive he'd go. He's so sweet! And he's always finding new ways to make me smile!"

"You made him smile too! Why did you split your food?" She smirked. I blushed, dropping my head.

"Because I know it's his favorite! I didn't really think much of it. I was just trying to make him happy," I whispered, suddenly finding my shoes very interesting. Fleur has a way of making me talk about things. Like my mum being veela, and now Harry and I. She really is like the big sister u never had. Sure, I've got Nat, Ginny, Mione, even Mum, but I've never had a big sister.

"You two are perfect! I wish I had a relationship like yours!" She sighed, a dreamy look coming over her face.

"You will!" I smiled, hugging her. When we pulled away, I hopped off of the sink and we made our way to the door. "So, have any idea how you are going to do the task?" She nodded, smirking a bit.

"You'll see when it's time! Do you have an idea?"

"My mum helped me while Dad helped Harry, and Mum and I came up with a few that would do the trick, but they're all simple. Things anyone would think of. We wanted to do something different than everyone else so that if I came in last, I would have a few extra points. My navigation skills, are minimal, if I have any!" I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Fleur nodded, a small smile on her face.

"A smart plan! And if you don't find something else, you'll at least have an idea!" She smiled, nodding approvingly. I nodded, and returned her smile. "Does Harry have a plan?"

"I don't think so. If he doesn't find one I'll tell him one of mine." I shrugged, right as we reached the front of the castle. They sleep in that carriage for some reason, so this means Fleur has to leave.

"Good! I'll see you tomorrow!" She smiled, I nodded and waved, making sure she made it at least half the way safely. I turned on my heel, heading back to the common room. Harry was there, books surrounding him. He looked frustrated.

"Would you calm down mate? The task isn't for two months! We have the Yule Ball before that! We'll find you a way to breathe underwater!" Ron groaned, flopping back in his seat. I watched them from the entrance for a few minutes. Ron stared at the fire, probably trying to think, and Harry flipped page after page in a book. "Why don't you ask Gracie?"

"Because. She already helped me figure out that egg! And I know how bad she wants to win for the twins and Ginny and you and the rest of her family. I don't want her worrying about me. I want her to be careful and worry about herself! She did so well with that dragon! I know she can take care of herself! But she still got hurt! And if she doesn't focus, it'll happen again! I don't want to distract her!" Harry sighed, closing the book and dropping his head into his hands. Tears welled in my eyes. I don't want Harry to ever feel like that! Especially over me!

I watched Ron get up and sit beside Harry on the couch. "Come on mate! She'd be just as happy if you won! You know, I guarantee she feels the same way about this whole tournament! She's probably worried about distracting you! Come on, this is Gracie we're talking about! Since when does she let pain stop her? How many times has she survived something she shouldn't? She grew up with six brothers, I promise you she's tough! Ask her! Watch her face light up when she helps you! She likes helping you! She likes it when you help her! Girls are weird like that. They like to feel equal!" Ron chuckled, clapping a hand on Harry's shoulder. Fred and George came down, scoffing at Ron.

"For once, he's right!" They chorused, taking a seat on the couch. "Nat acts like that all the time!" Fred smiled, looking distant.

Hey! I'm getting inside their head! I can see it now! The brain of a boy! By Gracie Black!
