Chapter 41: The Yule Ball
Y/N POV
The day of the Yule Ball was inching closer and closer and Harry and Ron still had no luck finding a date. Harry had asked out Cho Chang at Hogsmeade but she was already going with Cedric, which severely disappointed him. We were in the Common Room, currently counting down the days till the day arrived. I was reading up on something with Hermione while Harry was sitting on a chair. We saw Dobby again, along with Winky as Dumbledore gave them jobs. Dobby even gave us presents, which were socks that he made himself. Hermione found him and the socks adorable as I kept mine.
I know of the people that were going with Lana and Luna, which were Sam Johnson and Kayla Rosario, two fourth-year Ravenclaws that they knew personally. I knew Sam, his real name is Samuel, but he's a nice guy, really intelligent and he was a transfer from America. I was glad he was going with Lana, but Ron was jealous about it. I got to know Kayla as well since Luna introduced us to her. She was cool, I suppose and she had told us that she asked Luna because she didn't really like guys like that, but it's okay, she's pretty nice.
Ron came in a couple minutes later, looking pale as hell as Ginny followed him in.
"What happened to you?" Harry asked him.
"He just asked Fleur Delacour out." Ginny said.
Now this got my attention. Fleur was pretty, no doubt, but Ron to say that to her, when practically nearly every other boy wanted to go with her.
"What did she say?" Harry asked.
"No, of course," I said. "Every other guy wants to go with her."
But Ron shook his head. "She said yes?!" The three of us asked.
"There she was walking by," Ron croaked. "You know I like it when they walk..."
"I didn't know that and nor do I need to." I said, a little weirded out.
"I couldn't help it, it sort of slipped out." Ron finished.
"Actually, he sort of screamed at her." Ginny said. "It was a bit frightening."
"What did you do then?" Harry asked.
"What else?" Ron said. "I ran for it. I'm not cut out for this, Harry. I don't know what got into me."
"Didn't we suggest the Patil Twins?" I asked Hermione, who was watching Snuffles and Snowball playing with a toy.
"We did," She said. "Parvati's right there." She pointed out one of the twins who in fact was quite similar to me, since our respective twins were both in Ravenclaw, while we were Gryffindors.
"Hey, Parvati?" I asked. "Do you and your sister still not have dates to the ball?"
"No, I don't actually." She said to me. "Neither does Padma."
"Then I do have two candidates for you." I said, pointing out Harry and Ron. "Those two?" I asked as she smiled.
"I'll tell Padma."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The night finally arrived as I was getting ready with the dress robes Mum sent. She had also sent a tie and some jewelry for Lana later, along with a letter and I was in the Room of Requirement, learning some things from Newt and Tina.
Dear Y/N and Lana,
Best of luck for the ball tonight! I'm so proud of you both and your father would be too. I'll try to come and see you both, and I did realize I forgot to send these to you too. Y/N, you're going with Hermione, yes? If so, that's amazing! I'm still so proud of you both. It's a special night for you both and the other champions, and I wish you both the best. You both are growing up so fast! I love you both so much.
Love, Mum.
I still smiled at the letter as I struggled to put my tie on, but it was a nightmare! All the folds and whatnot, why do people insist on wearing these, they're torture!
"Uh, let me, Bro," Lana said as she turned me around and helped with the tie. "I'm glad I don't have to wear this tie."
"Ha-ha-ha, Sis." I said. Lana was wearing the dress Mum gave her and I got to say, she did look good. "You look nice by the way. Sam must be lucky."
"So is Hermione," She said as she finished. "Honestly, I can't wait for the day you will confess to her."
"About that..." I said to her. "I was thinking... I tell her tonight. About how I feel about her." She turned around quickly, beamed and hugged me. "You are?!" She said with glee. "Oh my goodness, you are actually going to tell her! I'm so happy for you!"
"Yeah, I mean, it is a special night and It's also Christmas Eve," I said. "Luna suggested I do it when it's special, so what better night than tonight!"
"Oh my gosh, really?" Lana said. "Our cousin? Luna, you absolute beauty!"
She hugged me again as I returned it again. "I'm so proud of my brother!"
"Lana, I'm 6 minutes older than you," I chucked. "But thank you anyways, sis."
"Don't rub it in," She said. "And anytime, bro."
"Are you both ready?" Newt said to us. He was going to attend the ball with Tina, so he changed out his overcoat for a more traditional robe. Tina came after him wearing a dress, ready for the ball.
"Yeah," Lana said. "We'll make our way to the other Champions now.
"Right then," Tina said to us and her husband with a smile. "We'll see you inside."
We made our way towards the champions where Harry, Ron and Sam were standing and waiting for the others. Harry was wearing something similar to me, but in the colors of black and white. Ron was the one who stood out from the three of us. His robes were full of frills and in a ridiculous color.
"You all look good," Ron said. "My robes are ancient. I look like my Aunt Tessie." He then sniffed his robe. "I smell like my aunt Tessie! Murder me guys."
I cut off some of the frills so the robes look more suitable as the Patil twins came to us. Parvati walked to Harry and took his arm while Padma walked to Ron and went in the Great Hall since he wasn't a Champion or a date to a Champion. Sam joined Lana and complimented her.
"You look good," He said to her as she blushed.
"Hey, Sam?" I said. "If anything bad happens to my sister..."
"Wouldn't even think of it, mate," He said as he joined his arm with Lana's.
"You look good, Y/N. Really good!" Parvati exclaimed. "Hermione's very lucky to go with you."
"Thank you, Parvati." I said. "If I'm being honest, I'm really lucky to go with her."
Eventually the other champions arrived. Lana came along with Sam, Cedric came in looking dapper with Cho Chang, Fleur came in with the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain, Roger Davies, who was too busy staring at her to notice her flashing a small smile to me which I returned with a small wave. And last but certainly least, Victor Krum came in with Clara Cartier, who winked at me. I guess she didn't take Hermione's hint and still wanted me for herself.
Grandma came around and looked at each champion. "Are you all ready?" She said to us.
"For what?" Harry asked to Parvati's annoyance.
"To Dance." McGonagall said. "It's traditional that the three champions or in this case six are the first to dance. I told you, Mr. Potter."
Grandma then turned to me and stepped forward. "You look quite dapper tonight, Y/N. Where is Miss Granger?"
"She's still getting ready, Grandma." I said as the elderly witch smiled. "She should be here soon."
"Good." She said eagerly. "I'm looking forward to watching you two dance."
"She looks beautiful!" Parvati said out of nowhere, to which all of us looked up to the stairs to see Hermione walking down the stairs. But she looked incredible.
She was wearing a pink dress that fitted her perfectly. Her hair wasn't as bushy as it normally was, but sleek and shiny. In the middle of her dress, a maroon-ish ribbon was tied around her body. She wore the same necklace I gave her in 1st year and the bracelet too. But above all, she was gorgeous.
No, she was beautiful.
"You look really beautiful tonight, Hermione." I said as I blushed hard.
"Thank you, Y/N." She said as our eyes locked together. "You look very handsome."
"Shall we?" I asked, lifting my hand to which she giggled and took it.
The other champions went in order, Krum went with Clara, Fleur followed after with Roger, Cedric with Cho, Harry with Parvati, Lana and Sam and finally, Hermione and I. As we walked in, people started looking at us and gasping.
"Is that Y/N Lovegood?"
"He looks really good."
"Wait, Isn't that the girl he always hangs out with?"
"His date looks so pretty!"
"Pretty sure that's his girlfriend."
Many voices were all talking at once as we walked down. Even Draco Malfoy, who went with Pansy Parkinson, was speechless about us. All the champions then spun around to face their partners. I faced Hermione who put her hands on my shoulders as I placed my hands at her waist. I blushed a little as Hermione shyly smiled at me.
Eventually the others joined in the dance and the music had changed. Lana and Sam joined us and we traded partners occasionally then going back to our original partners. Sam eventually went to some of the Durmstrang students to get drinks while Lana joined the both of us to go to Harry and Ron, who the Patil twins had ditched as they sat down staring at everyone else.
"Hot, isn't it?" Lana asked. "Sam's gone with the other Durmstrangs to get us drinks. Care to join us?"
"No, we'd care not to join you lot." Ron said rudely while Harry stared at him in disbelief.
"What's got your wand in a knot?" Hermione and I asked.
"He's a Ravenclaw with Durmstrangs!" Ron reasoned. "And you're his date! They could be telling Victor what you told Sam! You're both... fraternizing with the enemy!"
"The enemy?!" Lana snapped. "Who was it wanting Krum's autograph?! Besides, the whole point of the tournament is international magical cooperation, to make friends. And I haven't told Sam anything that he would tell the Durmstrang lot! Do you think I want my brother, Harry or I want to get hurt, or possibly killed in this!?!"
Lana was on the verge of tears as she was talking to Ron. I've never seen her this upset. But clearly, Ron, being the dumbass that he was being didn't even notice.
"I think they have more than friendship on their minds." Ron said coldly while Lana ran out of the Great Hall.
I looked at Ron who didn't care that she ran out. I walked up to him and slapped him clear across the face.
"What. the. Hell. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU!?!" I said. "She was just enjoying the dance, but you and your jealous arse just had to ruin it for her."
He looked at me with shock on his face as he stared at me with my eye glowing.
"You think I didn't read your mind when she said someone asked her?" I said coldly. "She practically saw it off you too! You just ruined any chance you've had with my sister, you dense idiot." I then left the Great Hall in anger to find her while Hermione followed me.
Before I exited the Hall, I was tapped on the shoulder and turned around to find Sam in front of me.
"Hey, man." He said with his American accent more evident among us. "I saw Lana storm off of here. I didn't know if she wanted me to talk to her after I heard Ron. I think she might be at the Tower. The password is 'a circle has no beginning'."
"Thanks, mate." I said as I patted his shoulder. "That's gonna help tons."
"Oh, and go with Hermione," He added. "That Cartier girl has been making eyes at you since she's behind me. Go quick." He was right, Clara was making eyes at me from the corner of my eye.
Hermione joined me as we both exited the Hall and made our way to the Tower. As we approached the Tower, I said the password to reveal Lana on a couch with her hands on her face. As she saw who entered the Tower, she ran up to me, hugged as tight as she could and sobbed into my chest.
"Hey, sis. Are you feeling okay?" I asked her as I patted her back. She shook her head as we all took a seat.
"I just can't believe Ron would think that." Lana cried as Hermione patted her back. "I don't want us to get hurt in this damn tournament. You're my brother, I don't know what I would do if that happened to you. I don't know how I would go on if I found my brother dead."
She then sobbed again as she put her head against my shoulder. I looked at Hermione, who had the same look of worry as Lana. She then got herself closer to Lana and let her hug her.
"I know, Lana. I know you care about my well-being." I comforted her. "But I promise I will keep myself, Harry and you safe."
"Do you want us to stay with you?" Hermione asked her.
"No, it's okay." Lana said. 'I don't want to ruin your night with that."
"Lana, it's no problem for us to stay." I said. "Besides, if it makes you feel better, I punched Ron in the face."
With that, Lana giggled a little. "That did make me feel a little better." Lana smiled. "But it's okay. You two enjoy your night. I think Luna is here, Kayla and her left early, so I might talk to them."
"Okay then, Lana." I said as I rubbed her shoulder. "Take care of yourself, okay? Love you, sis." I then hugged her and kissed the top of her head.
"Thanks, bro." She said sweetly. "Love you, too."
"Let us know if you need anything." Hermione added as she took my hand.
After that, Hermione and I then walked outside Hogwarts for just a small walk with each other. It must have been a little cold, cause Hermione was holding both her arms and shivering to death since her arms were bare and not covered at all. I removed my robe and placed it on her shoulders, instantly warming her even more.
"Thank you." She said as she looked at me as I rolled up my sleeves. The cold isn't really bothering me anyway.
"Anytime, 'Mione." I said as she allowed me to pull her closer to me
Hermione POV
Y/N's robe was really nice since it was already warm and it smelled like his vanilla cologne, which I really loved.
"You know something?" I said to him. "Despite the wind, it looks really lovely out here."
"Huh, it does, doesn't it?" Y/N said before his eyes widened and he smiled with glee. "Oh, I think it could be better! Can you wait a couple seconds for me? I promise, it will be really quick."
"Sure, just don't leave me hanging on." I chuckled as he ran off up the stairs.
Moments later, he came back down with a small device and a headset, resembling a Walkman.
"Is that a Walkman?" I asked him. "Where did you get it?"
"I bought it over the summer, before I came over to your house," He said. "Mum took Lana and me around London, and this looked really interesting. I thought you would like something like this. It's been charmed so that magic doesn't break it. I even got some cassettes for it too. "
"Including this one." He said as he held up one of them. "It's got to be one of my favorites." He then inserted the cassette into the device, turned up the volume to where only we could hear it and placed the headset around my neck.
The music started winding up and started to play.
Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
"Wait, I know this one!" I laughed. "I heard it on the radio when I was little!"
He laughed along with me and danced away with me.
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Y/N was singing. I've never heard him sing before and he was really good. He must really love this song.
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
But something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
But I can't hide the way I'm feeling
We continued to dance together until we both stopped and looked in each other's eyes. His silver-grayish orbs into my brown eyes as we pressed our foreheads together. And the next part... I don't know what came over us but...

We kissed. Right on each other's lips. Just like Hogsmeade. I couldn't believe it. I was kissing my best friend who I had a crush on for 4 years.
Not just a crush, but who I fell in love with.
I didn't know what to do, but it felt so right. Like every single worry I had was gone. His lips were so soft and they tasted really sweet like candy. I didn't want to stop kissing him, but unfortunately we had to.
As we separated slowly, he looked back at me. But he didn't let go and neither did I.
"So... that just happened..." I chuckled.
"Yeah." He said. "Can I just say something?"
"Yeah, go ahead. I'm all ears." I said.
"Okay, here goes nothing." He said as he took in a deep breath. "I-I... I'm in love with you, Hermione."
I stood there in awe. He's in love with me?
"I always had feelings for you, but during last year, my feelings got stronger for you and I realized that I'm in love with you. I always have been."
"Y/N, I --"
"I get that if you don't feel the same and I completely understand if you prefer how we were before, I just wanted you to know I- Oh!"
I quickly stopped him from talking, put my hands around his neck and planted my lips on his again, softly kissing him. Y/N was really surprised at this, but he slowly melted into it and kissed me back. I let go before we ran out of breath before I sweetly smiled at him too and kept my hands at his neck.
"I love you too, Y/N." I said. "I fell for you the moment I met you." He smiled back at me.
"So what happens now?" He asked as he put his forehead on mine.
I giggled as he got closer. "Well, I guess I'm your girlfriend now, and you're my boyfriend."
"That sounds wonderful to me, 'Mione," He said before he kissed me again. "Lana would probably be over the world when she finds out that I told you." I said to him.
"She knew you fancied me?" He asked. "She knew I fancied you in 1st year."
"Really?" I said with a smile on my face. "I wonder how she'd react when she finds out now. We tell her tomorrow?"
"Yeah... but now I just want to enjoy this, here with you."
"Me too." And we kissed again.
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Use your love, lose your love, your love!
I don't want to lose your love tonight
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
Lose your love tonight (your love)
Lose your love tonight (your love)
Lose your love tonight (your love)
(Lose your) I don't want to lose your love tonight
As the song ended, the clock was nearing 10:35 and the dance will have ended at 11:00, so Y/N and I decided that we should make our way to the Common Room.
"Ouch." I said as I bent my leg to check my ankle.
"What's wrong, 'Mione?" Y/N asked as I held on to his arm.
"It's my heels, they hurt a lot." I said.
"Oh, here, come on, let's get to those stairs." He said as he carried me there. He put me down first and he got down after. He then reached from my heels and released the strap holding it to my feet.
"There. Does that feel better?" He asked me.
"Yeah, loads better." I said with a smile. "Thanks, Y/N." I then pecked his lips again. "Oh, but my feet still hurt a little."
He then put his arms at the back of my knees and one on my back and carried me back bridal style to the Gryffindor Common Room. As we arrived, he took me to the Girl's Dormitories, but no-one was there yet and Y/N couldn't drop me off there.
"I guess you could sleep in my bed if you want?" Y/N said as he faced me. "I'll sleep in the Common Room."
"Y/N, you can't." I said to him. "The boys would wonder what I would be doing in there. I don't mind if we're in the same bed, since we're dating now."
"I guess that's a fair point." He said. "That was kinda stupid of me."
I kissed his cheek. "It's okay, Y/N. We're both new to this."
Y/N then took me to his bed, placed me down and quickly went to the wardrobe to get changed. After he put his robe in, he took out his wand and pointed it near my shoulder, moved it down to my feet and magically put me in my pajamas. Any trace of make-up or the Hair potion I used was instantly removed, returning me to my original self.
"I had a good time tonight, Y/N." I said to him as I laid down on his bed while he faced me. "Thank you so much. You're the best. I love you."
He smiled and blushed. "Always welcome, 'Mione. I love you too."
He then bent down and kissed me again. I'm really starting to love it when he kisses me. "Good night, Hermione. Sweet dreams." He then pecked my nose and I pulled myself closer to him and wrapped my arms around him. I felt his hands go through my hair lightly as I giggled a little.
A few minutes later after the other boys went to sleep in their rooms, I heard a few little snores from above me. I looked up to see a resting Y/N.
'He looks so adorable when he sleeps.' I thought to myself.
I still couldn't believe it, my best friend, who I've cared for and loved, is also now my boyfriend. And he loves me too.
I still smile at the thought despite it happening a while ago. His arms were still around me and I was close to his chest, where I could hear his heart beating. I slowly reached for his cheek, lightly pecked him on the lips and whispered, "I love you. I love you so much."
I saw a small smirk form on his face as his eyes slowly opened. "I love you too. I always will." I smiled at him and put my forehead on his. "As much as I want to tell you how much I love you, we should really get some sleep, Y/N." I said. "We still have the egg to figure out, remember?
"Yeah, you're right, Love." He said before he realized it. "Sorry, that just slipped out."
"No, no, that's fine, Y/N." I said softly. "Besides, I like the sound of it coming from you.
"I'll keep saying it then." He said with a loving smile before he yawned. "Good night, Love."
"Good night." I kissed him again and buried myself into him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y/N POV
The next morning, I felt the rays of sunshine beam down on my face as I woke up next to Hermione. The rays were showing off her features perfectly and I still couldn't believe that she's now my girlfriend. She's absolutely incredible, she's brilliant, she is so freaking beautiful and I love her so much. I could go on and on about how amazing she is, but all I want to do is watch her and wait for her to wake up, which didn't take long.
Her beautiful brown eyes fluttered open and she smiled as soon as her eyes focused on me.
"Morning, beautiful." I flirted as she woke up and kissed me passionately.
"Morning, handsome." She flirted back.
"How did you sleep?" I asked her as we still laid down on my bed.
"Good, thanks to a certain someone." She smiled at me as she cuddled closer to me. "What time is it?"
"Mmm, 6:45," I said. "Should we start about the egg?"
"Noooo..." She said in my chest. "Let's stay here for a while, I wanna be here with my boyfriend."
"You said we had to figure it out last night, remember?"
"Yeah, but that was last night, Y/N." Hermione reasoned. "It's the next morning now."
"Can't argue with your logic," I said with a smile as she cuddled me. "30 more minutes?"
"Sounds great to me, love" Hermione said. "I love you." She snuggled closer to me and kissed me. We slept until 7:15, where I found Hermione on top of me, smiling.
"You're cute when you're sleeping, you know that?" She said. "I've wanted to say that."
"I can say the same about you," I said. "You're really adorable."
She grinned and hit me playfully. "You prat. But you're my prat. My cute, caring, lovable prat." As I sat up, she sat up with me, wrapped herself around me and kissed my lips.
I closed my eyes and melted slowly into it as Hermione kept her lips on mine while I wrapped my hands around her body and continued to kiss her. She smiled and moaned softly as my lips trailed away from hers to her neck.
"So we only tell Lana, right? No one else?" I asked as I brushed her hair out of the way .
"Yeah," She said. "We could tell Luna too, I like her. And she's your family here. We just keep it a secret from the boys."
"It would be funny to see how long Ron and Harry take to figure it out." I chuckled.
She giggled adorably. "Oh yeah, definitely."
Then her eyes widened. "Oh no."
"What happened?"
"How am I going to get back to my dorm? She asked. "Won't the boys notice me leaving your room?"
"Oh, you're right!" I exclaimed silently as I got out of the bed. "Here, take this." I took out my father's coat and put it on Hermione's shoulders. "Y/N, what is this going to do?" I asked.
"Just say 'Invisibilia.' It will make you fully invisible so you can get to your dorm. Once you get there, say 'visibilis' and you won't be invisible anymore."
Hermione's eyes widened once more as she pulled me closer and kissed me. "Y/N, you are absolutely brilliant!" She said as she slid on the sleeves.
After she put it on, she came closer and hugged me before she had to leave.
"I'll see you soon, Love okay?"
"See you soon, 'Mione. I love you!"
"Love you more!" She said as she kissed me again "Oh and we definitely should have more moments like these, babe. Just us, in private..." She smirked before she sneaked out and became invisible.
Gosh, this girl. I love her so much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple hours later, everyone woke up and Hermione and I walked back to the Ravenclaw Tower to get Lana to get to the Room of Requirement. Hermione and I walked close to each other and once we were out of people's sight, she couldn't help but peck my cheek, which I found super adorable.
As we arrived, Lana came out of the Tower, who looked better from yesterday. She seemed better, so that was a good thing.
"Hey, sis," I said as she hugged me. "You feeling better?"
"Yeah," She said. "Luna and Kayla helped me out, they just told me to ignore Ron for now."
"He's just jealous he didn't go with you," I said. "Let's just go to Newt and Tina's, okay?"
We made our way to the Room of Requirement, where Hermione marveled at the room as she had never seen it before before she turned to Lana. "Oh, Lana?" She said. "We have something to tell you." She grabbed my hand and brought it up.
"Y/N is my boyfriend now." She said with a smile I loved to see on her face as I kissed her right in front of Lana. As we stopped, we turned around to find Lana squealing with glee.
"Gahhhh!" She said with a wicked smile on her face. "I can't believe you two are dating now! Harry owes me 10 galleons!"
I laughed. "Well, it doesn't matter since we're together now," I said. "All that matters is that I'm with the girl I love."
"Aw, babe," Hermione said as she kissed me again. "Love you too."
Lana was ecstatic. "I was right, if you were cute as best friends, you both are even adorable as a couple!"
"Yeah," Hermione said as she separated from me. "But we only wanted you and Luna to know, since you know you knew I fancied Y/N."
"Oh and you knew we liked each other?" I said to her as she still kept that smile on her face. "You were trying to get us in that direction, didn't you?"
"What are sisters for, Y/N?" Lana said. "And I understand you both want to keep our relationship with certain people, I'm just glad you're together now! Besides I don't think Harry or Ron would suspect you both are dating now, they can be quite dense."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry POV
A couple days after the Yule Ball, everything went back to normal. Well, not really. After the Ball, Ron and Lana didn't really talk to each other since they were both upset at the other.
However, Y/N and Hermione, they were always studying together, but they were acting kind of different. They preferred to study with each other and Lana was perfectly fine with it. I did get to meet Newt and Tina at the Yule Ball as well, they were pretty nice. I was trying to figure out the egg still as was Lana, but I think I got a clue about it. Cedric was nice enough to let me know about it. He told me about it earlier today.
"Hey, Potter," Cedric called out to me. "How are you?"
"Spectacular," I said strangely.
"Look, I realize I never thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons."
"Forget about it," I said. "I'm sure you would have done the same for me, Lana and Y/N."
"Exactly. You three know the Prefects Bathroom on the fifth floor. It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water. I'll tell the Lovegoods too, or do you want to?"
"Haven't really seen Y/N all day, now that I think of it," I said. "Maybe you'll have better luck."
I was a little confused but I think I got the idea of what he was saying. I went back to the common room to tell Y/N, who would probably tell Lana, but as I entered, I found Hermione pacing around the room in circles, putting her hands to her forehead.
"Where is he, where is he?" She kept saying to herself.
"Hermione, what's going on?" Ron asked her as I joined him.
"It's Y/N," Hermione said. "We were in the Library and we were just talking about what the task could be, and we were --" She stopped herself for a moment before she went on, "He said he was gonna get some water, but it's been nearly 30 minutes, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried."
Just as she was still pacing around the room, the Fat Lady opened the door and Lana ran through, out of breath with a copy of the Daily Prophet in her hand. She and Ron made eye contact for a moment before she looked at all of us.
"You have to come with me," She said as she caught her breath. "Something happened, something bad to Y/N and I, you have to see this."
"Where's Y/N?" Hermione panicky asked. "Where is he, Lana?"
"Fleur found him in one of the corners, knocked out. He's bleeding, so she took him to the hospital wing." She said quickly.
Wait, was someone trying to fight him?
"Something really bad, but you have to look at this!" Lana continued.
She gave us the copy in her hand as she was trembling in fear, which Hermione saw and comforted her. I couldn't believe what the front page was and everything else in it.

And the biggest thing I would never expect to see ever in my life. Because now... Ron, Hermione and I weren't the only students in Hogwarts who knew about Y/N and Lana's grandfather, Gellert Grindelwald.
Now... Everyone in Hogwarts knows who they are.
Everyone in the damn magical community knows who they are.
BREAKING NEWS! GRANDCHILDREN OF GRINDELWALD REVEALED TO BE LOVEGOOD TWINS.
Everyone has at least heard of the Dark Wizard, Gellert Grindelwald once in their lifetime, but now he seems to have progeny among the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
And none other than the 5th and 6th champions, Y/N and Lana Lovegood. Grindelwald has been known for his crimes such as defamation of wizard Percival Graves, amassing the following of several acolytes united under the purpose of controlling Muggles, and the murder of several Aurors, including that of Leta Lestrange in 1927.
"Y/N has threatened my father many times," Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius Malfoy has said. "We didn't do anything to him."
We all know that's the biggest bloody lie ever told.
Several students at Hogwarts have faced Y/N's rage upon them, along with his sister's. Such students being Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe and Marcus Flint. However, other students in Hogwarts don't believe them, but none have been reached for comment. Professors claim that Y/N and Lana are very good students and good people, but that is highly unlikely.
They were all Slytherins! Not a single Ravenclaw, Gryffindor or Hufflepuff!
The Minister of Magic has been contacted about the situation and proclaimed that he will go about the situation immediately. Y/N and Lana's mother, Addison Lovegood, daughter to Grindelwald could not be reached for comment.
And they were all written by none other than Rita bloody Skeeter.
"That bitch!" Hermione cursed to our surprise.
(A/N: Next Chapter: Lovegood Vs. Krum. Also I was too excited so I released this 3 hours early than what I said.)
