A month. A WHOLE MONTH., had passed. Mei and Cedric hung around the school ground secretly, Draco and Harry's relationship seemed to be going down the drain, Mei was helping the Weasley twins with their pranks, and Seamus worried more everyday out of concern of Mei.
"Are you sure, you're not in danger?" Seamus would ask, every third day at breakfast, when he usually sat beside Mei.
Every time, she would look at him, as if she would be a puppy and instantly, he would turn around, blushing. Though, Mei was still oblivious hat he liked her. Sometimes, she was like that knowing Cho, one of her friends, was dating the guy she was in love with. Yes, that whet Mei felt for him, but she knew it was a one-sided love.
Suddenly, Dean came through the entrance of the Great Hall, shoving his way between Mei and Seamus, "Their announcing the champions for the Triwizard Tournament tomorrow. I heard Professor Mcgonagall, talking with Professor Flitwick." Everyone at the Gryffindor table heard, and was getting excited.
Everyone at Hogwarts, hoped someone from their own house would be picked. It would be honor, but there were four houses, and of course more than one hundred students above the age of sixteen.
"Also, the Yule Ball at Christmas! Don't forget that, it's the best part for any girl." Ginny squealed, thinking of herself dancing with Harry in elegant dress.
Mei blushed looking at Cedric. She day dreamed of them dancing together, in the most elegant dresses her father or Lucius Malfoy would buy, thinking she would go with Draco.
"Mei, you okay?" Seamus asked, again showing concern for her.
She nodded, grabbing his hand, as everyone now stared at her, "We have herbology, let's go." The quickly escaped the hall together.
"What was that for?" He asked, but she didn't speak to him until they reached their class.

"George, can I ask you something?" Mei had asked, as he sat down beside her in the common room.
He smirked, "You sure, I'm not Fred?"
"If you were Fred, you would have tickled me, after I asked you something. He sure does like to tickle me, though it hurts at time."
"I do not!" Fred retorted, passing the two as he was going to Angelina Johnson, his suppose girlfriend.
"See I told you, I got the right twin so, answer my question. How would you want a girl to get your attention?" She asked, silently grabbing a note pad from under her robe.
She had been asking the same question all day. She didn't care, who she was asking as long as, it helped her to get Cedric. However, it seemed every boy had a different perspective on this.
"She should talk to me as, if I'm not a prankster all the time and scared that I'm going to prank or some sort. Also, by knowing, which Twin am I." Mei quickly wrote it down, leaving out the twin part.
George could see her hand moving quickly. He smirked, as he headed towards. Putting his hand under her robe, he tried to find what she was doing. However, it had not turned out well, since he was now rubbing the back of his head, because he had hit the chair behind him.
"PERVERT!" She yelled, dropping her notebook.
Everyone had seen the commotion they had just produced, and once Mei went up to the Girls Dormitory, almost everyone started laughing. Seamus, however was sulking in the corner.

"I'M SORRY!" George, had been screaming that, ever since he saw her in the common room this morning.
Also, since that morning Mei wasn't responding, "I was curious of what you were doing under your robe."
Seamus had stepped in front of George, letting Mei walk peacefully to her next class, "Leave her alone or-"
"You'll make me explode?" He asked, but Seamus just walked away furious not wanting to respond.
Abruptly, Fred hung his arm around his shoulder, "That was uncalled for, what you did last night, but don't worry. Tonight is the Halloween Feast and the selection for the Tournament."
However, all day George could do nothing else, but worry. Was this his permanent impression for Mei, a re-headed pervert, who likes to play pranks? Would she forgive him? He didn't know what to do, she would even look away when he tried to sit with her at lunch.
Though, as the second half of the day started, he wasn't thinking of her, because he felt sorry, but as if it was a muggle show where the guy falls slowly in love with his classmate. First, he wanted just to be close to her, but he actually wanted to touch her. Not in that perverted way, but in a loving way.
"Georgie hurry up." Fred called, as he was gain dreaming about Mei in class.
"Cedric!" She could someone squeal in the hall.
The girl had jumped into Cedric Diggory's arm. George had looked passed it, thinking it would be Cho, but looked again as, he noticed it was Mei. With a smiled she whispered in his ear. Was he seeing things right? He walked backwards, trying to get a closer look. Soon, Cedric whispered into her ear, and just nodded after.
He tried to get a little closer, but Mei had spotted him. She immediately went his way. Has he been caught? One of the best trouble maker at Hogwarts got caught? By a tiny little girl, he was starting to have feelings for?
"I'm sorry for ignoring you, but I still felt awkward about what you did. I talked to someone, and he said I should get your story, before jumping to conclusion and calling you a pervert." Mei smiled, and George seemed to melt in his shoes.
Mei stood their quietly waiting for the answer, but George just stood there in awe, "Hello?" She asked, waving her hands, as high as she could.
His eyes widen, "Well, you were moving your hands quickly, and I was curious. I just wanted to know what you were doing." He said, sweat dropping down his forehead.
She nodded, "Well, you could have asked me." She declared, leaving him, "I hope we can be friends." She turned around as more students passed her.
George could see she had a beautiful smile. He just watched her, going to her next class, but only was interrupted by Lee Jordan, who had shocked him, by hit the side of his stomach.

At dinner, everyone was excited to see who was going to be selected to be in the tournament. Finally, Dumbledore was near the Cup, has he waited for quiet.
"May the selection commence!" The cup spurted out a piece of parchment and smiled, "From Durmstrung." Everyone at the Slytherin was ready to hear it, but surely knowing, which of their classmates was it, "Viktor Krum!" He yelled, as Viktor stood up heading towards him.
Another parchment flew into Dumbledore's hand, "For Beauxbatons." The girls holding their, hands tightly together, even Mei waiting the results, "Fleur Delacour." She smiled, greatly as, the hall was filled with appaluse again.
"Finally." The last parchment, "From Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory!" The hufflepuff exploded with cheers, as Cedric gleamed with pride.
Mei smiled and clapped the loudest from the Gryffindor table, as headed towards Dumbledore. However, something caught her surprise, another parchment flew out of the goblet. Dumbledore, grabbed it stumbling as he read the name.
"Harry Potter." He said, with everyone in a state of shock.
He looked directly at Harry, who was only a few seats away from Mei, "Harry Potter!" He yelled, and Harry came stumbling to the front of the hall, with almost everyone glaring.
They all headed to the back, with Dumbledore following, "How?" Mei asked, looking George, Seamus and everyone at everyone at the Gryffindor table.
