Eliza left the girls’ bathroom wondering who was Tom. Her mother’s character seemed to have thickened even more, confusing Eliza. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseAUw6H1x2
“Tom, Tom, Tom, who are you Tom?” She asked herself walking to the dormitory while swaying her heels in one hand.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb89xmtPJVy

A few days later and Eliza was impossible to find alone. She was mostly with her friends or glued to Hermione. That was how they found themselves in the library, Krum sitting at a table with his classmates watching Eliza and Hermione studying.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X9vaf4TQ4
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cB6fAFJM3
“Don’t you feel uncomfortable? Blimey, he’s staring with everything he’s got.” Eliza mumbled feeling like Krum might as well move at their table and make it even worse.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepe5nquJEU
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUV01QYrFz
“Why don’t you tell me what were you doing with Malfoy?” She whispered, leaning curiously towards the brunette.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsn4GGEQ8C

Eliza scoffed and quickly brushed Hermione off. That subject was gone and done with from the moment he called her Black. She didn’t want to see him nor speak about him or anything regarding that prat.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWKHTeR1k
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTB0O5pCi
“What about Harry? Has he figured that egg out?”907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbFm3zsI3L
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlmupokjmx
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Not yet but I'm sure he will."
Eliza nodded before glancing to Krum again. He was really awkward, or maybe it was because she was there and she was a complete stranger to him, but Viktor Krum was definitely not what Eliza imagined.
While moving her eyes around the library, she saw Cedric a few rows to her left, laughing about something with Cho. She tilted her head and remembered how much time they used to spend together in the library before the Triwizard Tournament.
"His popularity has definitely reached another level..." Eloza mumbled her eyes still fixed on Cedric.
"I thought you didn't like him either." Hermione saod while keeping her eyes on the homework.
Eliza remembered briefly when Cedric messed with her, giving her the impression that he wanted to ask her to the ball.
"He said he wanted to invite me to the ball but thought I may go with Harry. I feel like I did something that didn't benefit me and Harry..." The brunette continued melancholy.
Hermione looked up at the green eyed witch and raised an eyebrow, "Are you jealous of Cho, then?"
Eliza's eyes widened and she shook her head furiously, "No! No. But I found out too late that Harry likes Cho."
"He had his chance to ask her and when he did it was too late. He should had been faster."
Hermione was right but it didn't make Eliza feel better.
"What about Krum?" Eliza asked in a hushed tone. "Where will this crush of his will lead you two?"
Hermione blushed, "Nowhere. He will leave at the end of the Tournament and we will never see each other again."
Eliza glanced back at the Durmstranv student and saw him staring straight at Hermione before looking down at his book.
"I wouldn't bet on that." She muttered before going back to work.
At dinner, right after she finished her pumpkin dessert, she got a letter from a mysterious person: I have the information you want. Let's meet in the dungeon tonight. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8BkaVuJF
Sensing that it was a false alarm sent by a Slytherin -she already had a few ideas who- she brushed it off. However, while she was getting out of the Great Hall, Snape cornered her and dragged her with him into his office.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLA4eAVNsp
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRf1SOcGQh
“What is this about?” She asked following her teacher.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHEfBawwdl
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzIG43hr9
Snape only glanced at her over his shoulder in that specific way of his, like he was doing it only because he was forced by circumstances. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok2FxVW235
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxG9m8tQeQ
“Is it about my little slip of silver in Seamus’ antidote? In my defense, I thought it was Flint’s cauldron and was expecting it to turn dark purple and get him unconscious for a bit,” She gave herself out knowing that Snape probably already knew.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpRaXU11mP
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLqoJytpCs
The teacher rolled his eyes and opened the doors to his office.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55arAc0YHe
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKlVpEw0k3
“It has been brought to my attention that you have been waving your hands in front of Mr Malfoy and Mr Crabbe. I thought I made myself clear when I told you not to expose yourself.” He slurred sounding quite mad.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZh6bMP2ec
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR0l65Vzuz
“It happened,” She explained, “It happened.” The brunette repeated, her eyes widening slightly with innocence.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlgRgerOLe

“He instructed a house elf to bring him information about Ophelia. Fortunately, I intercepted it and gave him irrelevant information.” He started, glowering at the brunette with malicious eyes.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyAHCAaFq
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBTuQJ6Atb
“So Molley wasn’t a muggle family and my mother wasn’t adopted?” Eliza asked slowly scanning Snape’s face.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM22BoBMkgJ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIMD3zKVMo
“No. I didn’t give him false information. I only retained her years during and after Hogwarts. Mr Malfoy is not an idiot and would have noticed the discrepancies in the file.” He stated calmly as he walked around his desk and sat, his eyes looking at Eliza like he was on a pedestal.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C8x13Bfqh
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES2KssZXoj
“But he knew about Ophelia and Sirius’ relationship. He told me that at the ball and he was quite assured of what he was babbling about.” 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabRFg69wTa

The professor seemed genuinely surprised which instantly made Eliza panic in her head. Malfoy found out about her parents by mere coincidence and he wasn’t going to divulge her secret but she couldn’t depend on that idea. Draco was swimming in rough waters and if he was going to drown, he was going to take her down with him.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyjHWjX6vk
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxheAfHJx
“I will have to talk to him about that.” Snape mumbled, moving his hands around, looking for some kind of papers.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7CL7OYJs
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UE09wt0fx
“By the way, have you professor sent me a letter to meet you in the dungeons?” She asked.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUaPgmetuW
Snape grunted and shifted his full attention on the papers, subtly forcing her to leave. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1CSItDrM4
Eliza sighed and walked around for an hour before she realized whoever set the trap wasn’t a very patient person and left already.
Eliza couldn’t sleep and ended up on the Wood Bridge again. The wind was blowing softly announcing the upcoming spring and she couldn’t wait for the tournament to be over and get home to Remus and Sirius.
Eliza closed her eyes and leaned her head back while holding the railing tightly. That year has been uncontrollable and not because her magic was getting out of hand. She found herself between a boy who was barging into her family life and a boy whose name was making her tremble. When Eliza opened her eyes she got taken aback by the ex-auror Moody. She jumped slightly, feeling a mix of feelings just by his presence.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJTxHADkO

“Listen Molley, last time I might have crossed the line.” He started in that hurried way of his.
She scoffed and took one step away from him, just in case.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD5GwqJuPN
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrG87rxYzv
“Bullocks, you enjoyed it!” She firmly accused him, sneering at the professor. “You are a psychopath; enjoying the pain and fear inflicted on others, that is not normal.” She continued, scowling at him from the side.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvHOWsLiEu
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7WPrqLCMv
Instead of feeling offended, he started to laugh loudly, “Your mother said that before. I believe she called me a sadistic murderer,” He trailed, remembering the old times. “Well, I am here and she is gone. Her death was an unfortunate event, she was an important asset.” He started to ramble on his own, of course getting a quick drink along from his hip-flask.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7BcfpcZfn
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ytGNj8dw
Eliza tilted her head to the side and grasped the railing tighter, “What is it that you drink so often?”907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cabXdtWKn
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNkfbpw06U
“Juice.” Moody responded right away, making her roll her eyes but he started to laugh again. “The second task is right around the corner. You should go rest for the big event. I’m sure Potter won’t have any troubles finishing this one triumphantly as well.” He chuckled before starting to make his way back in the castle.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarbxfGhMVh

Eliza stood there, watching him from behind expecting him to spontaneously vanish like he was a ghost. Nothing happened.
It was the silence before the storm and in the distance, she could see it, feel it. The inexplicable was coming, the haze that no one could fight against.
