(Hudson P.O.V)
Little before that
After Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy arrive we start the drawing in the great hall. Saying I was panicked was an understatement. I start shaking as my sister Jade pats my back, "Regretting putting your name in?" I look at her, "No I'm glad I did that but I think my song made Sawyer hate me more." I look at the Slytherin table. "He doesn't hate you, he'll be here." "He's here to make sure I get picked he probably hopes I die." Jade smacks the back of my head not hard but not lightly. "He begged you not to, he doesn't want you to die." I look back at her, "That was before the song." She drops her head into her hands. "Oh my god dude, he never hated you, I see the way you look at each other, he cares. I don't think he's allowed to show it." I was about to answer when Dumbledore starts. "It is with great care that I say this, whoever gets drawn, no matter house nor school, I wish you safety. This will not be easy, you should be prepared-" He was cut off by the door opening, Mark comes out holding Sawyer in his side almost as if he's trying to hide something. I almost threw up. "Nice of you two to join us." Dumbledore jokes and Mark chuckles. "Sorry headmaster, it won't happen again." They sit down next to each other and Dumbledore continues. "As I was saying, you should prepare yourself for a difficult battle of glory." I shift in my seat as he moves towards the goblet. All the lights go out. "First from Durmstrang is." He puts his hand near the fire of the goblet and a paper comes out. He reads it "Mason Knite!" Mason stands and bows then sits down. Dumbledore turns back to the Goblet, "From Beauxbatons is." A paper flies out of the flame, "Victoria Glass." She stands up and curtseys. He turns toward the Hogwarts tables, "And Lastly from Hogwarts is." He turns and the flame turns yellow then shoots a paper out. "As i thought would happen." He turns towards my table and I instantly knew. "Hudson Hufflepuff." I stand a bow then sit. I stare at the table and whisper *I Might die* Jade looks at me and nods. She hugs me and I look at the Slytherin table. Sawyer's face in all bruised and scratched and he has tears streaming down his face. Seeing this gets me pissed and i stand up and walk out of the great hall. I hear someone running after me but I don't look behind me. I start running towards the only person/thing I can talk to. "SALAZAR!" The painting quickly appears with a sad look on his face. "You got picked didn't you?" I nod "Yes but that's not why I'm here." "Then why are you here?" "Sawyer came into the hall bruised and scratched with the only person who could do this." He gasps then goes quiet. "My poor boy, how could anyone do this?" " His asshole boyfriend of course." I hear soft footsteps coming down the hall. "Hudson, what are you doing next to the Slytherin common room?" It's Sawyer and he has tear stains all over his bruised face. "Ummmmmm, ummm talking to Salazar" He gives me a confused look. "Hudson, he doesn't talk." He even waves his hands in front of a 'frozen' Slytherin painting. I laugh "Hey SallyYyy!" There is a sigh. "You know I hate it when you call me that." I turn around. "I told you I will if I wanna." Sawyer looks at both of us like we're crazy. "Well, that just happened." I look at Salazar and wink. "Well um-" He was cut off by a voice. "Sawyer where are you?" Sawyer whimpers and looks at us. "I-I have to go." Then runs down the hall. I sigh and go to see who was calling him. "Where did you go?" Mark asks. "I-I was seeing if I left my book my room." God for a Slytherin, Sawyer is a terrible liar. I walk around the corner acting really sad. "Hufflepuff what are you doing down here?" Mark spits. I sigh "Saying goodbye before I go die." He laughs and pulls Sawyer into his chest. "Well say it to your real friends and not the ones you left." I glare at him and I feel tears brim my eyes. "Yeah but we both know why I left, he may not, but I know you do." I turn around and walk off to my room.
