Raina POV
I felt bad for Harry since he wasn't allowed to come live with us yet. Sirius is still 'on the run' so until he stops 'moving around' he won't let Harry join us. This is the story Sirius made up but actually, my home has become the headquarters for the Order. We aren't going to show this to my peers yet since for now, it is meant to be secret. To go along with Sirius' plan, I had to tell Harry that I couldn't keep Sirius with me because the ministry had me on the watch. Being the last Black, they believe Sirius will reach out to me so they want to catch him if he does. Harry believed it and left it at that. I was meeting up with him soon since Arthur got tickets to watch the quidditch game. It was Bulgaria versus Ireland. We were going with the Diggory family since he was the one to give Arthur the tickets for all of us. Today I was going to the Burrow because we all promised to meet there before we go to the game on Monday. Sirius and Kreacher knew about this and have agreed to get along until I came back next summer. I had sent Harry food for his birthday because his aunt had him eating carrots and vegetables for the rest of the summer because of his muggle cousin. I got so worried I sent Kronos with two bags of food for him since I knew that they fed him very little since every year, I noticed he was skinnier than what I last him and he would put up the pounds during the school year.
I finished packing and went downstairs. I was met by Kreacher and Sirius "Are you sure I can leave without you guys killing each other? I can stay and fly to them the day of the game and fly back after the game if you want," I said and Sirius shook his head. "It will be fine, Raina. I think we can manage until you come back home. You go and have fun with your friends." I looked at Kreacher and he nodded. I sighed and agreed with them. I hugged Sirius and then kneeled in front of Kreacher "Do you want to be free?" I asked him and he shook his head. I nodded and smiled at him. He knew he could come to me if he ever wanted to be free but it has become a habit for me to ask him every day.
I left and flew above the clouds to the Burrow. When I got there, I greeted the whole family including Bill and Charlie since they were here. I stayed in the room that I had when I stayed here and we waited for Harry's response to see if his uncle let him come with us. We were going to get him whether they liked it or not but we still had to be polite. After a few hours, Pig came back with Harry's letter. He as allowed to come so we got ready to pick him up tomorrow. Hermione came two hours later and she seemed happy about Harry being able to come. We all spent the rest of the night talking and catching up.
~Game Day~
I woke up and changed quickly. I heard Hermione going to wake up Harry and Ron. I went down and helped Molly with breakfast. I save plates for Harry and Ron since I knew they weren't going to come down on time. After hours of waiting, I dragged Harry and Ron out of the house and handed them their food. We were about an hour and a half from the portkey. They thanked me and we continued to walk with Arthur leading us. We met up with Amos Diggory and his son, Cedric. Cedric was a Hufflepuff classmate of ours and a good friend of Luna. I know everyone calls her loony but she's really nice and she is easy to talk to.
Anyway, when we got to the place where the game was taking place, I made my wings instead of falling to my death like the others. Arthur, Amos, and Cedric floated down while I landed. We walked forward until we saw people wearing Bulgaria's colors and people flying around on brooms. We walked to the tent that Arthur borrowed from one of his coworkers. Outside it looked small but inside it was huge and had enough space for everyone. We all settled down for tonight and killed time until the game.
Everyone started going to the stadium at sunset. Unfortunately, we saw my dad there along with Draco. I smiled at Draco and so did Hermione and he discreetly did the same to us. Mother didn't come with them, I suppose it was because she isn't very interested in quidditch. The Weasley's and I left and went to the top of the stadium. We were all excited to see the game. I for one want to see how this ends.
~Time skip to after the game~
Turns out that the Irish won but Victor Krum caught the snitch. Fred and George were celebrating and so was I until I smelt smoke. I ran quickly to where my things were and packed up quickly. I pack everyone else's stuff as well with my ice magic. Since I was surrounded by magical people, when everyone left the tent, I shrunk all our stuff and put it in my pocket. When I got outside, I shrunk the tent so it wouldn't be damaged and also put it in my pocket. I saw the death-eaters everywhere. I looked around for anyone I knew and couldn't find them. What I did find was death-eaters making fun of a few muggles that were allowed to come since one of their children was a witch/wizard. I got angry and blasted ice at them. I helped the muggles to get away while fighting the death-eaters. I defeated the five that were surrounding me and continued to try and find my friends. I finally decided to fly around and bring down a few death-eaters while I looked around. I finally spotted them by the trees with Draco. I saw that he was relaxed, most likely because pure-bloods aren't being attacked so he had nothing to worry about. I landed and heard him telling them that they should get away before they spot Hermione. "He's right. They're coming this way and they are after muggle-borns and muggles. I took a few down but not enough for them to be weakened," I said and then turned to Draco. I hugged him and told him to stay safe while I went off with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to find a hiding spot for them. While looking for the others, Harry and I got separated from the others.
Harry and I started running around trying to get away from all the chaos. We ended up falling and we were kicked in the head before we could get up. We ended up unconscious throughout the whole thing. We woke up after the chaos was done. I had a major headache but I didn't care. I looked around and saw a man walking. He kicked things out of his way as he continued to move. By looking at him, I knew he was a death-eater. I started trying to take in his scent so I could pinpoint it next time. He suddenly stopped and yelled out a spell. A white flash came out of his wand and when it hit the sky, it turned into Voldemort's sign. The dark mark. A skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. He saw us and started coming towards us. Harry and I crawled away since he didn't have enough time to stand up yet. When we did, we ran towards the burned tents until we heard someone calling our names. "Harry?" Ron yelled. "Raina?!" Hermione yelled. We saw the man disappear as Ron and Hermione found us "We've been looking for you guys for ages. Where were you?" Ron asked as Harry continued to look at where the man was. "What is that?" Harry asked as he saw the dark mark "That's Voldemort's mark. This means a death-eater put it up there as a message that he is coming back," I said and Harry kneeled over since his scar started burning.
I felt danger around us and as Aurors surrounded us, I raised a dome above us so we wouldn't get hit by any spells. Then I heard Arthur yelling at them to stop "That's my son!" he yelled and the spells stopped. I brought down the dome as Arthur got closer to us. "Ron, Harry, Hermione, Raina, are you alright?" he asked "We came back for Harry and Raina," Ron responded. They Crouch came to us and pointed his wand at us. "Which of you conjured it?" "Crouch, you couldn't possibly..." Arthur was cut off "Do not lie!" he yelled while still pointing that thing at us. "Keep pointing that wand at us and I'll snap it in two. We didn't conjure that thing. You really think that a 14-year-old student would be able to conjure that," I said and I stood in front of the others ready to fight him. "You've been discovered in the scene of the crime!" Crouch said in a panicked voice. I rolled my eyes and tuned him out. I wasn't going to listen to his bullshit.
When he finally left, I took out my wand and faced the mark "I might not know how to conjure it but I do know how to make it go away," I said and mumbled the spell and pointed at the sky. A white flash followed it and it hit the mark, making it disappear just as fast as it came. I scoffed and then went home. When we were all together, I gave them all their stuff and I also gave Arthur the tent that he borrowed. They all thanked me and we took the portkey home.
~Two weeks later on the train~
I was sitting with the other three as the trolley came by. I got a few sweets and gave some to Hermione and Ron. I also gave Harry some since he didn't buy anything. I put on my earphones and listened to music as I slept the whole way through until I had to change.
Days later, everyone was outside looking at the two schools that were coming our way. I forgot the names of the schools but I didn't care much. Dumbledore asked me to help with the school from Romania to land their ship in our dock. I made my wings appear and flew above the ship so I could show them where to stop. When I finished with that, I made my way to the Great Hall and heard the announcement. "Well, now that we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement," Dumbledore said. I tuned him out after that since I already knew. My mind came back when we had to go to our dorms. On my way there, Lucas grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. He hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear "I missed you," I relaxed and said it back. He pecked my lips before leaving with the other Slytherins. I blushed lightly and continued on my way to the common room.
The days following that was chaotic. People kept putting their names in the Goblet and some even ended up in the hospital wing because of the age line. I eventually got tired of watching people put their names in, that I went to Dumbledore to ask if he could give me permission to participate. "Why would I do that?" he asked as he continued to do his paperwork. "Because I'm bored out of my mind and you know I can handle whatever comes my way," I said. "Please, professor. Let me test my strengths. I promise I'll be careful and I won't show them everything I got. Please," I begged him and he finally sighed. "Fine," he handed me a piece of paper with a spell written on it. "Say this spell and you will be allowed past the age line to put your name. Burn this paper after you have memorized it so no one can use it after you," he said and I nodded. I left his office and went to the Great Hall. I put my name on a piece of paper and then burned the one that held the spell since I already memorized it. Once there, I watched as a student from Crum's school and Cedric put their names in. Fred and George tried it as well but they ended up with long beards and mustaches. I laughed and went up to the age line. I mumbled the spell and point my wand at me. After that, I went through. I waited for a while and nothing happened. I put my name in the goblet and it accepted it. I smiled and walked out. Everyone was shocked that I was able to do it. After me, Victor Crum came in and also put his name.
