— chapter thirteen.

they were currently on the train to hogwarts. she was stuck with her little brother, hermione and harry. not that she minded.

its just that leanne and george were snogging— they had officially gotten together over the summer bc george had finally gotten the balls to ask her out when she came over—.

fred had ditched her to go talk to lee. cedric had also ditched her for his friends which she is very angry at.

but i guess she's fine being stuck with the golden trio. "im so hungry." ron whines. rubi groans.

"you'll eat when we get there ronald." rubi grumbles. "now stay still, you're shoulder is very comfortable but you keep on moving." ron sighs but he listens by sitting still.

"anything from the trolly?"

ron jumps up digging in pocket for some money. rubi's head ends up falling on to the seat where ron was currently seated. rubi huffs.

hermione looks over at her and giggles. "ha. ha." she scowls at hermione.

harry also stands up with ron to get something from the trolly. "anything from the trolly dears?" the old lady asks.

"a packet of drooble's and a licorice wand." rubi looks over and sees the lady give him a packet of drooble's and the licorice wand. ron looks over at his money and his face falls a bit. "on second thought just the drooble's."

rubi sighs and stands up. "ma'am please give my brother the licorice wand." ron looks over at her and shakes his head.

"no its fine-."

she snatches the candy from the old lady hand and pushes it to his chest. "i got it, i save up my money for you and ginny not for me." she pays for both candies and pushes ron back in the compartment.

ron smiles at her and pecks her cheek quickly. rubi rolls her eyes but smiles either way. she was going to walk back in to the compartment with ron but she hears someone speak.

"two pumpkin pastries please." she sees a young pretty girl walk over. she looks over at harry and sees him staring at her. she narrows her eyes looking at their interaction.

"anything sweet for you dear?" harry snaps his eyes away from her.

"erm uh-."

"no he's fine ma'am" rubi says grabbing harry's collar and pushing him in to the compartment. she hears the girls start giggling quietly. she wanted to tell them to shut their mouths so bad but she bites her tongue.

"rubi-."

"shut up harry you'll eat when we get too hogwarts." she says. huffing she sits down right next to ron. she glares at the wall.

hermione looks back and forth between harry and rubi. she smiles sheepishly before looking back down at the newspaper.

ron doesn't notice rubi irritability but he gestures to rubi to get a piece of his licorice wand. despite rubi feeling like she wanted to punch someone in the face. she still smiles softly at ron and takes a piece.

she pops the piece of candy in to her mouth. after she's done swallowing the candy she lays her head back down on ron's shoulder and closes her eyes.

"this is horrible, how can the ministry not know who conjured it. is there not any security or..."

"loads. thats what worried them so much. it happened right under their noses." rubi listens to their conversation with her eyes still closed.

"its hurting again isnt it, you're scar." at that rubi's eyes open and she looks over at harry with her eyebrows furrowed.

"im fine."

hermione stares at him probably not believing what he is saying. "you know sirius will want to hear about this. what you and rubi saw at the world cup and the dream."

harry supposedly had this dream with you-know-who in it. it worried hermione and ron but rubi still didnt know what happened in the dream bc they hadnt told her. they only said it was about you-know-who.

>>———————❀———————

it had been a few days since they got to hogwarts. supposedly dumbledore wanted to talk to the whole school about something. also incomers were arriving today. thats why everyone was waiting around for.

a day after they arrived at hogwarts dumbledore had said something about them coming and classes would be cut short. so thats why they were all here standing and waiting.

cedric put his arm around her shoulder and kisses her cheek. he had his hand behind his back for some reason. "im sorry." rubi groans. not this again. "dont groan, i know you're still mad about me leaving you."

it was true. rubi was still a bit mad about cedric leaving her in the train with the golden trio. normally she would have been fine about it.

but he had just left without an explanation. not even saying hello to her when he saw her at king cross station. once he saw her at king cross he had rushed away.

so she's been a bit petty with him ever since. "im not mad alright." she was mad. "just bothered." nah, just mad. cedric grumbles.

he pulls his hand from around his back and shows her a small bouquet of flowers. she looks at them in awe. "forgive me please? i promise ill tell you next time. i cant handle you being mad at me."

she really wanted to tell him no but how can she say no to his pouty face and the pretty red lilies in front her. she stares at him for a moment but a smile takes over her face.

she goes on her toes and gives a peck on his lips. "ok, you're forgiven." she squeals in surprise when he kisses her deeply. but she kisses back a few seconds later.

once they break away from the kiss cedric smiles at her. "thank helga. i couldn't stand looking at your beautiful face glaring at me anymore."

cedric and rubi stare at each other before bursting out laughing. "i know im sorry, i guess i should've just talked to you about it." despite her forgiving him her pride did not believe a word what she just said.

she knew she was right for ignoring him. but she just didn't want to seem arrogant, acting like if she didnt do anything wrong. even though she really didn't do nothing wrong.

suddenly everyone started running. making rubi confused. she pulls cedric towards the crowd of people. then some large carriage with some flying horses started coming lower to the ground to land.

then something started rumbling from the water. soon enough a giant ship came rushing up from the water. everyone gasped. both, the carriage and the ship were quite beautiful. at least in rubi's opinion.

after the grand entrance both schools made. everyone was now in the great hall sitting in their respectful tables. leanne was talking rubi's ear off about something but rubi did not have the energy to listen to her rambling.

"id like to make announcement!"

the whole room quiets down. "this castle will not only be your home this year but home to some other special guests as well." the great hall doors open and mr. filch comes running in.

rubi snorts out a laugh at his running. fred and george join her also by snickering. "you see hogwarts has been chosen-." dumbledore gets interrupted by filch and they both whisper quietly to each before filch runs off again.

"-so hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, the triwizard tournament. for those who dont know, the triwizard tournament bring together three schools for a serial of magical contests. that single student is selected to complete. let me be clear, if chosen you stand alone. trust me when i say, these contests arent for the faint hearted. but more of that later, please join me for the ladies of beauxbatons academy of magic and their head mistress madame maxime."

the great halls doors open once again and a group of girls in blue silk uniform come in, practically floating, with elegance. rubi's throat hitches when one of them smirk at her. she blushes and looks down at the table.

she looks back up and some girl with beautiful blonde hair bows down gracefully. rubi also notices the very tall woman, taller than hagrid, smile at everyone. dumbledore kisses her hand and nods.

rubi scans the room and notices the same girl smirking at her. she was very beautiful, brown skin, black hair, had beautiful curves. she didnt even notice she was gawking at her until some loud stomping interrupted her.

some men with long canes come in. they all wore some weird coats and wool outfits. they start doing some tricks making everyone intrigued.

rubi still felt the stare of someone. it sent shivers down her spine. she really wanted to look over but it made her nervous.

she ignored it by looking at how viktor krum came walking in out of nowhere.

everyone starts clapping as soon as everything finishes. the durmstrang sat with slytherin while the beauxbaton sat with ravenclaw

"your attention please! id like to say a few words. eternal glory, that is what awaits the students who wins the triwizard tournament. but to do this, that student must survive three tasks. 3 extremely dangerous tasks."

"wicked" all three triplets say.

"for this reason the ministry sees fit that we oppose a new rule. to explain all this, we have the head of the internacional of magical corporation. mr, bartemius crouch."

suddenly the ceiling starts rumbling. it looked like if there was thunder. people start screaming and panicking. then someone from the door whips out their wand and points it at the sky.

the ceiling goes back to normal and everyone looks over the man. rubi from her seat hears her little brother gasp. "bloody hell, thats

mad-eye moody"

rubi looks over at ron and says "alastor moody? the auror?" some kid name dean thomas looks over. "auror?"

"dark wizard catcher, half the cells in azkaban are full because of him. he's supposed to be as mad as mad hatter these days."

everyone stared at him. he was quite scary looking, i guess thats why everyone was staring at him so weirdly.

dumbledore and him shake hands and say a few words to each other. mr, crouch walks in front of the whole school to see him before clearing his voice.

"after due to consideration, the ministry has concluded that students under the age of 17 will not be allowed to put forth their name for the triwizard tournament."

everyone starts yelling saying how its wasnt fair. "that's rubbish, that's rubbish! what are you doing!" rubi yells with her brother.

she didnt find it fair. maybe some fourteen year old kid can do better than some 17 yr old kid. its fucking ridiculous.

"silence!" dumbledore yells. rubi snorts when his voice cracks. suddenly a goblet of some sort appears. "the goblet of fire, anyone who will submit themselves to the tournament. will write their name on a piece of parchment and throw it in to the flame by thursday night. do not do so lightly, if chosen there is no turning back. from this moment on the triwizard tournament has begun."

a hour later rubi and everyone in the great hall were leaving to the dorms to sleep. rubi was yawning and holding leanne's hand.

"hello." someone says beside her. she looks over and its the beautiful girl she saw earlier. she had a beautiful smile plastered on her face. rubi blinks at her. "im antoinette dubois but you can call me toi." she says kindly while practically floating beside her. "and you are?"

rubi couldn't form words. the girl was drop dead gorgeous, she made rubi want to fall to her knees.

"do you not know how to speak." toi says giggling. rubi blushes madly.

"erm- rubi, its rubi." she stutters out.

"rubi, what a beautiful name." toi says while smiling beautifully. rubi loved the way she said her name. "what is your surname."

"uh weasley."

toi grins. "well its nice to meet you rubi weasley. i hope to see you again. au revoir chérie." she blows a kiss and winks at her before waltzing away.

rubi watches her until she disappears fully. "rub?" she turns around and sees cedric staring down at her with his eyebrows raised. "why are you blushing so much and why are you standing by yourself."

rubi's eyes widen and she looks around and sees nobody else but them two here. "uh- erm- uh- ah" she stutters. she huffs while taking a deep breath. "i was um, looking at the wall. it looks really nice this year."

cedric stares at her as if she has three heads. "rubi, this wall has been the same since our first year."

"no it hasnt! see there was a scratch right there and now its gone." she smiles crookedly. cedric blinks at her.

"erm- sure rub. uh the twins and leanne were looking for you. so i came to find you. come on ill take you the common room." cedric smiles at her and pecks her on the lips. he wraps an arm around her waist.

rubi walks along with him talking about how his summer was. trying to forget the beautiful brown skin girl.
