Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After almost an hour of waiting, Andromeda and Sirius left the Headmaster's office, and Andy had a satisfied expression on her face while Sirius looked at her fearfully and proudly.
You could assume from their expressions that the conversation with the tournament organizers went well, but to say that would actually be an exaggeration.
Thanks to my hearing I was able to hear the entire "conversation" they had inside the office, and the word conversation is in big quotation marks, since that hour was spent with Andromeda demanding answers, cursing and mocking them.
And I would never imagine that Andromeda could curse like that, and she would leave a sailor embarrassed with her "nice" words directed mainly at Karkaroff and Mr. Crouch.
But back to the current moment, Harry, Sirius, Andromeda and I were heading to an abandoned classroom to talk, with me occasionally glancing at Andy, who had a small smile as she kept her hand on my shoulder to stop me from trying to escape.
And knowing that I could not escape my fate I just sighed in defeat, letting myself be guided into what would possibly be a moment of despair and suffering.
'And they still say that Bellatrix is the scariest sister' I snorted, only to feel Andromeda's hand squeeze my shoulder, making me swallow hard.

-Friday-
The next few days that passed were relatively uneventful for me, with me doing nothing other than continuing with my training and doing some research so I could better prepare myself to face an angry mother dragon.
And I was also looking for a way to be able to breathe and move underwater safely and easily to overcome the challenge of the second task.
I could use partial transfiguration like Krum, Bubble-Head Charm like Ced and Fleur, or eat some Gillyweed like Harry, but these three methods had their pros and cons, with Gillyweed being the best option among them, giving those who eat it the ability to breathe underwater and move easily and quickly.
However, one of the reasons why I didn't think Gillyweed was very good was because its effects didn't last as long as others, in addition to taking a few seconds for the transformation to happen after ingesting it and it being a painful transformation.
But let's leave aside the subject of the tasks and how I intended to overcome them.
I discovered that Malfoy despised Harry more than me, as he still went through with his plan and created the POTTER STINKS badges.
Of course, unlike the canon badges there was nothing about supporting me as champion, which made sense since almost every Slytherin hated the fact that a muggleborn was chosen as champion over them, the purebloods.
But to keep up appearances and not get into trouble, the badges were still enchanted to change their design, becoming a badge that said "LET'S GO HOGWARTS!".
Most of the students who wore these badges were from Slytherin, and there were few from the other houses who wore them as well.
I could control the Ravenclaws and stop them from wearing these badges, and the one time I saw a housemate of mine wearing one let's just say it didn't end well for him.
The Gryffindors didn't wear the badges because that would be the same as showing that they agreed with the Slytherins, and besides, the other champion was Harry, a Gryffindor, and they didn't want to take away the glory of one of their own.
And as for Hufflepuff, which in canon was the house that antagonized Harry the most, they actually didn't care about the badges either.
Between me who was friends with several Puffs, Cedric who was currently a sort of leader for them, and my other friends like Susan, Megan and Justin, we managed to convince the badger house that Harry participating in the tournament was not It was intentional, but he still deserved all the support from the school.
And thanks to our efforts and thanks to the fact that the "True Champion" was supporting Harry, he was not abandoned by his friends or isolated by the rest of the school, which made me feel relieved.
And with all these events, Friday finally arrived, which was also the day of one of the mandatory events of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, the Wand Weighing Ceremony.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Wand Weighing Ceremony-
As soon as I entered the small room I noticed that Krum and Fleur were already sitting and waiting, with the former looking sullenly at the floor, an expression that seemed fixed on his face.
And Fleur was sitting calmly with her legs crossed, but I could feel her slight irritation with the constant looks from two men I didn't know who were leaning against the wall.
And I didn't have to think much to figure out that they were probably the Daily Prophet's journalists and photographer who came to document the events of the ceremony and take the first official photo of the champions.
But deciding to ignore them I turned back to look at the other people in the room, seeing that Karkaroff and Madame Maxime were standing behind their students, and that the always cheerful Bagman was sitting next to a familiar old man.
This old and somewhat peculiar man was sitting on a stool with a calm look, but I could feel the expectation coming from him, making me smile in amusement.
And approaching this man, ignoring Fleur's look or Bagman's cheerful wave, I greeted him.
"Hello Mr. Ollivander" I said, nodding slightly.
"Oh, hello Mr. Night" he said after looking at me, showing off his incredible memory, "I hope your wand is serving you well" he smiled.
"It is" I replied, placing my hand on my wrist where the holster with my wand was, "It can be a little sentimental sometimes, but it is a great companion"
And listening to me, Ollivander's smile grew, nodding satisfied.
And in our short interaction, the other people arrived in the room, and they were Mr. Crouch, Nick and Penny, the Headmaster, and Harry, who followed them all with a confused look, looking around as soon as he entered the room.
And waving again to Mr. Ollivander I walked away, looking for a place to sit, and it didn't take me long to find a chair in one of the corners of the room, somewhat away from the others.
And the next moment another person sat next to me, very close to me, and turning to her I smiled.
"Hi Penny," I said, smiling at my grandmother.
"Hi darling" she said in a cheerful tone, before looking at me with narrowed eyes, "And you know you can call me grandma, right?"
"I know, but I think I'm just used to calling you Penny" I replied, before looking at her, noticing that she nodded in understanding but still had some feelings of disappointment.
"But well…" I started to say, "I also think there's no reason not to change the way I call you… Right, grandma?" I smiled at her.
And hearing me call her grandma, Penny blinked, before letting a big happy smile appear on her face.
And we weren't able to continue our conversation, because as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, Bagman stood up and started talking, drawing attention to him.
"Well, it looks like everyone is here, so let's start the Wand Weighing Ceremony!" he said with his annoying smile.
"Wand Weighing?" Harry questioned in confusion, and his confusion increased even more when he finally noticed that Mr. Ollivander was in the room.
'What is he doing here?' He wondered, blinking as he looked at the old man who caught his gaze and nodded at him.
"Oh, the Wand Weighing is a ceremony where your wand will be checked to see if it is in good working order, without any defects, as it will be the most important instrument for you when you compete in tasks." Bagman explained, before pointing to Mr. Ollivander at his side.
"And that's why we call the best wandmaker in the United Kingdom, who is also one of the best in the entire wizarding world... Mr. Garrick Ollivander" he said, with the wizard at his side receiving everyone's attention in the room, waving gently at us.
"And for a better explanation of what will happen at the Wand Weighing, I will let it to Mr. Ollivander to speak" he finished, taking a step back.
And as Mr. Ollivander explained what would happen at the Wand Weighing Ceremony I noticed that the other champions began to look at their own wands to see if they were in perfect condition.
And I snorted when I saw a somewhat nervous Harry start to wipe his famous and iconic wand, which was the brother of Voldemort's wand, on his pants.
'If he only knew how important this wand will be in his future confrontations with the noseless lord...' I thought, shaking my head at this scene but not being able to hide my amusement.
End.
