Chapter 20- The Yule Ball

Hermione helped me with my hair and make up. When we walked downstairs, Harry was just staring at me and her.


"Harry, staring is rude." I said, smacking his shoulder.


"um, sorry." he said


"Where's Ron?" I asked


"Already inside." he said


"Alright then, bye Hermione." I said


When I walked in, someone said something very, inappropriate.


"Damn I'm soo lucky." Draco said, wrapping his arms around my waist.


"Draco." I laughed.


We went to stand beside Ron and Patel. When Hermione came in, Ron looked absolutely devastated.


"Don't worry Ron, maybe next time." I said, patting his shoulder.


Then the dance began, me and Draco danced until I didn't want to. It was very tiring, I let Draco stay over on the dance floor, and went over to find Harry and Ron sitting down.


"Don't you guys want to dance?" I asked


"No, but it looks like your having fun." Ron snapped


"Woah Ron, when did you become so agitated?" I asked


"When Hermione got asked to the dance by Krum." Harry said


"Oh so, Ron is jealous?" I said, raising an eyebrow.


"No. pft, I am not jealous." he said


"Uh huh, so why are you moping?" I asked


"Get lost." he said


"Watch it Ron." Harry said


I made my way to the stage, and started playing a song.


"I wanted to sing this song, so that you guys can know how some of us feel." I said


Oh, can you tell me?
Can you tell me?
The way that this should work
Just who's inside of me?
The monster pulling strings
I'm broken lying
Helpless dying
Surrounded by the world
You stare and laugh with me
When you don't see a thing
I'm damaged now
And I'm breaking down
Unraveled and can't breath
The truth I seek
Never felt so bleak
I feel it drop degrees, freeze
So breakable, unbreakable
So shake able, unshakable
Was shaken up when I found you
I'm standing here watching the world as it falls around me
You're so close, but I hope that you stop searching
I don't want you to, foresee what I've become
So, please stop looking
I don't wanna hurt you, it's not my nature
A monster born I'm fading more
Can't be your savior
I'm falling victim
Remember the old me
As who I still should beThe endless pain of solitude wraps tight around my fortitude
Those memories inside of me
Innocently they pierce through
I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't escape
I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't escape this unraveled ghoul
There's something deep inside of me
A change was made, I can't break free
The darkness and the light collide
Our fate ahead won't be denied
So breakable, unbreakable
So shake able, unshakable
These dirty hands, no they won't touch you
I'm standing here watching the world as it falls around me
You're so close, but I hope that you stop searching
I don't want you too
Foresee what I've become
So please stop looking
I'm trapped in this cage that the world created
Before my future melts away I have to say this
I'm falling faster
Remember who I was
Remember who I once was
Please don't forget me, please don't forget me
Please don't forget me, please don't forget me
There's no turning back now I know I'm paralyzed
I'm trapped inside this paradise and with this parasite
I'm falling victim
Remember who I was
Oh, please tell me
Oh, please tell me
Just who's inside of me?
The monster pulling strings




I turned away and started heading towards the common room. Draco saw me and started coming after me. I walked outside and saw down on the fountain. Cold, because it was snowing.


"Are you alright?" Draco asked


"Yea, I'm fine." I said


"Really?" he asked, tickling my sides


"It's just that, Ron makes me mad is all." I said


"Everyone's getting stressed because of the Tournament is all." he said


"Alright. I'm tired, I want to go to bed." I said


"Okay, let's go then." he said


We walked together towards the common room, when we entered, I went straight to my bedroom and changed into my pjs, and went to sleep.


--The next task--


"There is a debate about the reaction of salt water vs. Fresh water." Neville says


"Really? Now you tell me." Harry said


"I was only trying to help." Neville said


"Where's Hermione, Ron, and Ava?" he asked


"You seem awfully tense, Harry." Neville said


"Do I?" Harry asked


--Ava--


I was asleep, I felt really cold and wet. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. And I couldn't breath either. I heard swishing my ears, I felt someone on my ankle. I heard Harry's voice.


"But she's my friend to." Harry said


"Only one." someone said


The she heard a roaring, and the a snap beside her. Again, but a blast. Then, she felt someone grab her arm.


--Draco--


Where's Ava at? He asked himself. Then he saw her come up with a little girl. Weasley went down to help them up. He went down there, but she dove back into the water. What the bloody hell is she thinking? He thought.


--Ava--


I dove back down to Harry, he needed help. I grabbed my wand and helped get rid of squid looking things. 


"Accendio!" I said


We were both lifted out of the water. I made sure that he was okay, then someone tackled me from behind. It was Hermione.


"Hey Hermione." I said


"You're an idiot like your brother." she said


"Oh I know." I said, giving her a hug.


"The next challenge will be harder, Harry." I said


"You save her when she wasn't your's to save. My little sister." Fleur said, to Harry.


She kissed him on the cheeks then came over to me.


"You helped as well, thank you!" She said


She kissed my forehead and left. I smiled at Harry and Hermione. Ron came over and ruffled my hair.


"Hey, no touchy my hair." I said


"Now you know how I feel." he said


I smacked him, and hugged Harry.


"The next task will be harder than these past ones." I said


"How do you know?" he asked


"I can tell." I said


Little did she know, it was going to get a lot worse than she thought it was.
