what it take to love you

Halin

The great hall buzzed with excitement and angst as people awaited the announcement of the tri wizard champions, who's would be competing in the tournament. Harry, Ron and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table just staring at the blue fire from the goblet, waiting and discussing like everyone else in the hall.

Students noticed Dumbledore come forwards and the sound drained from the room instantly, little cracks from the flames could only be heard now, through the silence of anticipation of students "thank you to all those who entered" Dumbledore's voice seemed to boom and echo and bounce from wall to wall in the silent hall "now, the champion from Dumstrang Viktor Krum"

The loud uproar of Dumstrang students was extremely loud and cheerful, for there classmate, Krum shook Dumbledore's hand and went into the room for the champions where Dumbledore gestured towards. "From beaboux" he then started again as the blue flames spat out another name "Fleur Delocor"

They were more composed than Dumstrang and clapped politely as she walked across the hall, also shaking Dumbledore's hand and headed in the same room. All the Hogwarts student hung on there breath wanting to know there champion for there school. "our Hogwarts Champion will be" he looked down at the paper then shouted "Cedric Diggory"

The whole school erupted in aplause and praise for him the Hufflepuff's the loudest by far about Cedric being chosen for a champion.

The Goblet then started looking strange, the beautiful dark and light blue turned into a fierce and angry red something was happening to it, the whole school stared in shook and surprise it spit out another parchment, as it had done with the names, the piece of parchment then fell into Dumbledore's hand. He read it out slowly looking at everyone, faces hanging open not understanding what's going on "Harry Potter" he then said calmly Harry sat there mortified not moving, all eyes turned to him, Hermione grabbed onto him harshly and pushed him up but not quick enough before Dumbledore shouted across the hall again "HARRY POTTER"

Everyone's eyes averted from harry as the doors to the great hall swung open as he walked down the row between the tables as quickly as possible while no one paid attention to him everyone wanted to see who had opened the doors to the great hall, to see what was going on by the doors, but Harry just quickly walked to the room wanting to get out of that hall as quickly as possible. "Who might you be" McGonagall demanded holding her wand to the girl, the girl didn't look scared or threatened.

She just stood there looking at McGonagall back with the same hard glare. She had short dark brown hair that waved in different places making it look messy, she wore gold round glasses and was quite small. "I'm Halin" the girl then spoke, her voice quite strained and hard. Dumbledore touched McGonagall's wand lightly telling her to lower it. "Sorry I'm late, four years I guess" she then laughed lightly

Dumbledore nodded then turned to professor Snape. "Professor Snape, take her to my office please." Snape looked at him wearily and quickly crossed the great hall, grabbed onto Halin and spun she started walking following him to Dumbledore's office.

All the commotion in the great hall over everything that happened was awful, all the theories of what had happened. "To your common rooms" Dumbledore then shouted and everyone quickly started scurrying out of the hall to where they needed to be, still talking.

(An hour later)

Halin was sitting in Dumbledore's office, with Snape watching her carefully. "What's this" she then pointed to a broken diary, that looks like it had been stabbed in the middle of. "That is none of your concern," he told her sternly "but who are you" he then asked, "what's your last name?" Halin raises her eyebrows "that's none of your concern" she said repeating him in mockery. She continued looking around and taking a keen interest in a lot of what she has seen, continuing to ask Snape quite a lot of questions which annoyed him. Then the doors opened revealing Dumbledore, he nodded to Snape and he left without another word to Halin. "How are you Halin" Dumbledore then asked her. "Tea?" s
