"It's just over there!" Amos yells as we walk up a grassy hill, "now everyone gets yourself into a good position."
                          
"Why are we all standing around this mangey old boot?" Potter says, nudging me.
                          
"That I have no clue," I say back.
                          
"That isn't just any mangey old boot, it's a portkey," Fred says and we all kneel and touch the boot.
                          
"Uh, what's a portkey?" I ask.
                          
"Ready? After me! 1... 2... 3...!" Amos yells and we all start spinning. Harry plops down on the ground and I fall on top of him, we struggle a bit then stand up awkwardly.
                          
That earned me a glare from Ron's sister, the fuck is her problem?
                          
Cedric, Arthur, and Amos floated down gracefully.
                          
"Could have given me some tips beforehand," nudging Cedric and he laughs at me.
                          
"What's the fun in that?" He says, looking at me. I glare at him which only makes him laugh at me again.
                          
We make our way to a tent and set down all of our things, "isn't Y/n a Slytherin?" I hear the redhead girl say to Ron.
                          
"Yeah, she hangs out with Malfoy all the time too," Ron whispers back but loud enough to where I can hear it, "she hangs out with Cedric and two other Hufflepuffs' as well." 
                          
"What do you think she's up to? Do you think she's using Cedric to get close to Harry?" Ginny asks.
                          
I wanted to slap that red-headed bitch. How dare she think just because I'm a Slytherin, I'm using Cedric to get to know Harry? If anything I hangout with Cedric to get away from Draco, and I barely knew Harry existed!
                          
"Well, I don't know about all that. She had a nice conversation with Harry and that was it, stop being so rude Ginny, maybe you should have been put into Slytherin." Ron says, then Ginny shoved him in annoyance.
                          
Ginny walks off eventually and I go to Cedric, "hey Ced, what the hell is that girl's problem with me? She's done nothing but talk crap about me and glare at me."
                          
"Ginny? Talking crap? Are you sure it wasn't Hermione?" Cedric says looking to me then to Ginny, who was talking to her mother.
                          
"Yes it was her Cedric, I'm not stupid. She thinks I'm using you to get close with Potter. You're not even friends with him, and if you were or are I had no idea until now." I say fuming.
                          
"Y/n, calm down, I know you wanna say something. But keep your cool, prove her wrong. Not all Slytherins are bad, I know that and if she doesn't, she shouldn't matter." Cedric smiles, I hug him.
                          
"Thank you, Cedric, you're right," I say.
                          
Amos and Arthur come into the tent, "well is everyone ready to go?" Amos says all excited. 
                          
"Yeah!" 
                          
"Let's gooo!"
                          
"Finally!"
                          
"I'm so pumped!"
                          
"Hell yeah!" Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Cedric all yell at once. I laugh at how excited they were to see others ride on broomsticks.

We reach an arena and we start walking up the stairs to the highest row. I hear Harry bickering with someone. I walk to his side and look down, it was Draco.
                          
"Y/n? What are you doing here?" He asks, looking up to me, his father gives me a puzzled look as well.
                          
Harry looks at me and whispers, "play along with this." I smile at Harry and he turns back to Draco, "she's with me. Thought she would have told you?"
