─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Today's the day of the first challenge, and since we found out about the Dragons Hermione and I have been in the library researching them. Harry came in with us occasionally but Hermione and I started this together, so she felt obligated to help me during the challenges however she could. 
My outfit for today was a long sleeved red and gold shirt with Hogwarts written on the front, and a pair of black leggings. The name "Black" was written on the back of my shirt as well. The headmaster wanted Harry and I to look different since are competing against each other, he's in mostly black with hints of gryffindor colors. 
  "The challenge begins in 2 hours are you ready? I think we've done enough research on all 4 dragons" Hermione said 
  "Yes let's go find everyone I bet they're in the hall eating"
Hermione and I walked to the Great Hall in search of our friend group. Along the way I had students wishing me luck and a lot of them telling me to beat "Potter". We're on the same team essentially, a win for either of us is a win for Hogwarts but they don't see it that way. 
  I saw Fred first, he was waving us down. I walked towards them with Hermione, everyone patting me on the back wishing me luck on my way there  
  "I see you have some admirers, anyone I should be concerned about?" Fred joked 
  "Nope! None, I'm so excited for this event! I don't even think I can eat that's how excited I am" I've been eating breakfast every day since I found out about being entered, but today my excitement is filling my stomach instead
  "You have to eat, what if it's your last meal?" George joked
  "Not funny" Fred said chucking a boiled egg at him
Fred handed me a plate filled with fruits and porridge. He knows me well
  "Hey isn't that Celeste?" Ron said pointing to a flying Owl 
Celeste came flying towards me, and stopped on my shoulder holding out her leg 
  "Oh hello Celeste! It's been a while, Im assuming my dads been on the run for a bit so he hasn't been able to write" I took the letter and gave her a treat "thank you for your hard work, you may go hangout with Hedwig now" I said pointing to Harry's bird who flew in after mine 
  "I see your dad has written back, I wonder how he feels about you in the tournament" Hermione said
I hope he isn't mad, I don't want to go into this challenge with a heavy heart. I opened the letter 


Dear Vulpes,
I don't know what to say about you being involved in the tournament. I'm not surprised, knowing you're my daughter you can find trouble quite easily, but I'm also concerned. This tournament is a good way to get you killed, students have died in these before. If the death eater is out there, this would be a good way to end your life without bringing attention to himself. Please be careful, of course I don't hate you...I just worry for you is all. I'm glad Fred got the yelling out of the way, I don't think I could do it. I instructed him with the job of being your protector this year, I know he would do that anyways but he made me a promise to do so. I can't be there to support you during this, but I'm glad that he can be. I hope he isn't too mad at you still, he letters me a lot telling me how you're doing please tell him I read every letter and appreciate them I would tell him myself but he told me to not write back, he saves the owls going back to Hogwarts for you and Harry. I know you two are technically competing separately but make sure you are there for each other. 
Also I found a place that we can call "home" I will be traveling there with Remus soon to start getting it ready for us. Remus won't live there with us long term, but I do hope you and Harry will. 
I love you very much, please stay safe and kick some ass!!
