Unexpected Inheritance [REWRITE]

Chapter Eleven: The Triwizard Tournament Starts

"Now! We give these schools a warm welcome, and now onto the announcements. Due to the tournament, Quidditch this year has been cancelled." Before Dumbledore could finish that one statement caused an out roar of protests.

"Silence! That is enough! It is for the best as the majority of the school has been split apart with the recent resorting. Now myself, the school board and the ministry have agreed that only those over the age of 17 will be allowed to participate."

"That's bullshit!" came the calls of many but mostly my brothers. It was a little bullshit, but it did mean that there was no chance of me being in any danger this year. I must have let out an audible sigh of relief since Draco gave me another curious look but I motioned to him that I'd tell him later again which he nodded.

Dumbledore dropped the glamour over the cup as if it was meant to impress which it really didn't if I were being honest. Barty Crouch started his part of the speech which I really couldn't care any less about, in all honesty Draco's shoulder was starting to look really comfortable.

"Now let the feast begin and have a good rest of your day!" Dumbledore finally called, shocking me from my half dozing state. Draco also slightly shook me to make sure I was back in the world of the living.

We had our lunch and then headed back up to the dorm, seeing as I technically didn't have permission to go to Hogsmead we were the only ones in our dorm room so we got the room to ourselves. I found myself staring at Draco as he moved to change his shirt since I had accidentally bumped him during lunch while he had been drinking.

"So you're going to explain?" Draco asked, smirking slightly as I shook away my dazed look.

"Oh Fred and I are pretty sure George's mate is Viktor Krum." I say thinking.

"Not what I was meaning but I guess that does answer one question I had from before lunch. I meant you being relieved about the age limit." Draco says amused at my family gossip.

"Oh that, every year I've been here at Hogwarts I've almost died... First year Professor Quirrell tried to kill me. Second year well there was the basilisk oh and technically also those spiders. Last year, I know Remus didn't mean to but he transformed into his wolf form and went berserk on me, Hermione and Ron, not to mention the 100ft drop thanks to dementors- so I'm just happy it looks like this year will be normal." I explain ending it with a smile to Draco.

"And I guess I probably didn't help... sorry about the hippogryph." Draco apologizes and I have to blink to remember what he was talking about.

"Oh- your dad never said anything? Buckbeak went missing just before he was due to be executed." I say making Draco's eyes go wide.

"Wait what?! Seriously? Wait- how do you know that?" Draco says, giving me a suspicious look.

"Hagrid told me, later on that is, cause after we went down to Hagrid's we were kind of dealing with werewolves, animagi and a pissed off Snape that I may have sent flying." I say innocently.

"I'm starting to see why you want a normal year, but I'm still not 100 percent certain you didn't play a part in that escape." Draco hums still giving me a suspicious look.

"I'm not sure what you mean, how can one person be in two places at once." I say biting back a smile.

"You had a time turner didn't you." Draco says with a look of realization.
