CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:
POTTER FOR THE WIN
✦✧✦
HARRY POTTER AND HIS PARENTS KILLERS DAUGHTER!
FOR LOVE OR REVENGE?
FOR FAME OR GLORY?
The boy who defeated he who shall not be named, is unstable and possibly ill, writes Rita Skeeter special correspondent. Alarming evidence had recently come to our attention. This evidence being our suspicions about Harry Potter and Aurora Black have been together since there first year at Hogwarts. Even though it was Black's father who killed her star crossed lovers parents. The two are said to be attached by the hip. Odd isn't it? They are also said to be rather close as;
' Potter is always seen gazing into Blacks eyes.'
Perhaps it's there loss of parents that made them come to together although no words have been said about Sirius Black who escaped from Azabhan last year, we can only presume she turned to the attention seeking boy for help.
Turn to page 8 to see how Sirius Black went from a Hogwarts heart throb to murderous father.
Turn to page 9 to learn five facts about Aurora Black and how she had supposedly dealt with her fathers being the face that haunts our nightmares.
Turn to page 13 to learn more about the Tri-wizard tournament and how we think Harry Potter sneaked his way passed the aging line.

Potter often collapses at school and complains about the scar on his head claiming he can't do his homework because it hurts to badly and Black is seen storming out of lessons calming she thinks her father ( SIRIUS BLACK) is hiding in the corner.
Two of the most dramatic people in Hogwarts together..seems crazy but anything can happen.
So, it's Monday morning and this is the first article thrown in her face. The funny thing is she isn't even that angry about this, she's more so amused if anything, actually correction, she's annoyed. Harry's all over the cover, and she doesn't even make the front page.
Everyone is standing around there desk, and is reading the daily prophet. Rita really disliked them all.
"This is an absolute joke." Aurora flung the daily prophet onto the floor. "I-I'm furious!"
"I can't believe this." Seamus mutters. "Why would they think that you and Harry are dating?"
"Lucky you, Potter." shouts a voice form across the greenhouse.
"Screaming, running out of classroom because Sirius Black is in the corner." Dean snorted which resulted in Aurora nudging him into the shoulder. "They make you out to be like Professor Trelawney."
" I mean they didn't even include me in the front page!" she exclaims.
Everyone looked over towards Aurora who had seemingly not been upset about the accusations but by the picture that she wasn't in.
"That's what your worried about?"
"Uh yes!"
"This is so stupid." Harry mentions glancing at her, "They have no right to say we're a couple, er- just this is ridiculous."
Aurora stares at him.
She didn't think dating her was a bad thing.
If anything he should be lucky to get someone like her.
She had some good qualities, she could fit eleven marshmallows in her mouth.
She could convince people to do anything she wanted, but then again her father was a convicted murder.....
.....maybe that wouldn't be the best thing to open with on a date.
It's not like Harry liked her anyways because that would just be weird.
So weird, she told herself.
But not that weird, a voice said in the back of her head.
"Wow I didn't know apparently fake dating me gives you so much stress." Aurora's tone caught Ron off guard, she sounded like she was offended but the look on her face said otherwise.
Ron narrowed his eyes exchanging a look with Hermione.
"No, no it's not that," Harry stammered. " It's just silly that's all."
"Yeah," she agreed. Her lips falling into a frown. "Silly."
After this they all head up to the Great Hall. She does run up to her dormitory and takes a box down with her. So, her cousin - the annoying one Draco - had decided to make these badges regarding Harry in the tournament. She had spent almost a month bewitching them all...
POTTER STINKS (is what they read.)
which were now changed to..
POTTER FOR THE WIN.
She holds the box in her hands as the three of them enter the hall.
"What is that?" Harry questioned noisily.
She slaps his hand out of the box. "None of your business, Potter, please."
He grins at her. "What are you up to, Black?"
She winks before turning away and heading towards the Slytherin table. She goes towards Draco who rolls his eyes when spotting her.
"What do you want, Black?"
God, how he acted like he didn't adore her.
"Nice to see you too, cousin." the hands him the box. "Here. Thought I'd give you these back."
"I never gave them to you in the first place."
"Well excuse me for wanting to be nice!"
She rolls her eyes and turns away. She didn't miss the suspicious look he gave. She sits back down at the table. She doesn't make any comment for a few moments.
She turns around and looks towards the Slytherin students who were putting on the badges, and the ones who had done so and already tried to take them off.
Basically, anyone who put the badge on with the intent of wearing a Potter Stinks badge, was actually wearing an unremovable Potter for the win badge.
"You did that?" Ron questioned, his lips forming into a smile. "That's actually rather sweet of you."
"It's been known to happen sometimes."
When she glances towards Harry he is giving her this look. It's like a mixture between a sad and grateful green eyed puppy.
"What's wrong?" she asked, giving a dry laugh.
Harry leaned across the table, kissing her forehead. His lips linger there for a second before pulling away. "You're something else, Aurora."
"It's nothing." she mumbled, under her breath. "Really. Only took a month."
And for the first time ever, Hermione and Ron had seen Aurora blush.

When departing from the Black Lake that night, it seemed as though all the sweets Luke had been eating lately had gained up on him.
He became rather heavy to drag.
However, he claimed it was muscle.
This full moon went good. Better than most. It seemed as though the pain was becoming more bearable to Luke, which in a way was good.
Aurora still remembered the first full moon they spent together, the screams, cries, begging for her to let him out, his leg that got slashed, he was in so much pain.
It was horrible to watch and not be able to help him.
"You know them sweets are after catching up on you." she grins as she lay her head back onto the grass ignoring the feeling of her clothes sticking to her body.
"It's muscle! At least I didn't get any bad marks this t-time."
Aurora chuckled as stood up from her spot feeling numbness spreading to her legs as she almost dangled over, if it wasn't for Luke whose hand reached up to be pulled up like a baby as she latched onto it pulling him up.
"You know what? I think this year has been my favorite at Hogwarts."
"Oddly enough, me too."
Neither of them seemed to notice the footsteps that had been behind them.
However when she goes to speak herself immense pain flooded to the back of her head. She dropped to the ground.
Her eyes adjust on Luke who also falls down. She attempts to stand up only to feel her eyes drop close before blackness engulfed her vision.
Neither Luke or Aurora would be returning to Hogwarts that night, however when they would wake up both of their lives would change.
