"Well, changing the subject, now that ans I can tell everyone that Ethan is my grandson, right?" Penny asked, looking at and Nick with an expectant look.
"I don't see why not" I shrugged, and she exclaid with joy before hugging .
"Now everyone will know that I, Perenelle Flal, have a beautiful and wonderful grandson. And they will also know that whoever dares to ss with him will also be ssing with " she said, placing her hand on her chest while making a 'fierce' face that didn't match her face that was usually calm and happy.
"Of course" I nodded, before letting a mischievous smile appear on my face, "And being the grandson of soone so important will also help attract more girls" I said jokingly.
And listening to , Nick shook his head with an ironic look, getting ready to say sothing. But before he can open his mouth, Penny interrupts him.
"That's true" she nodded with a serious look, "We'll obviously have to filter out the girls who will co after you, but even so the chances of you getting a girlfriend and wife will increase"
...
...
...
...
"What?" I asked, completely stunned, because even though I had said it as a joke, I could tell that Penny was really taking my words seriously.
And I wasn't the only one who was confused, as even Nick looked at her blankly, with a strange expression on his face.
And seeing our looks, Penny began to explain.
"Well, if Ethan catches the attention of a lot of girls he will have a better chance of getting a girlfriend, and the faster he gets a girlfriend who will possibly beco a wife, the faster they can have children" she said, and this explanation only left us even more confused, but for so reason I felt a chill.
"And why would him having kids quickly be a good thing?" Nick asked.
"Oh, that way I won't have to wait long to be able to play and spoil my cute little great-grandchildren" Penny said with an affectionate and tender smile, having a happy sparkle in her eyes as she imagined herself taking care of several little black-haired, amber-eyed children.
And listening to her reason, I could only look at her with a blank expression, wondering when I beca a factory of mini Ethans.
But Penny didn't stop there, as she continued talking about great-grandchildren, to the point of citing all the reasons why I should have children while also ntioning the positives about being able to care for and spoil your great-grandchildren.
'This woman...' Nick thought, looking at his wife with an amused look.
Nick himself also wanted to see his great-grandchildren, but he wasn't as focused and passionate as Penny in this matter.
And seeing that she was still in a trance in her own little world, Nick placed his hands on her shoulders, standing up and lifting her too.
He then turned to who was still looking strangely at the woman I considered my grandmother and raised a finger to his lips, gesturing for to be silent.
"Escape before she decides to make you read the crib and baby toy magazine she has," he whispered to , and I quickly nodded before turning to leave, letting Nick lead Penny to their bedroom.
As soon as I left the room I leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath for fortunately having escaped what could have been a complicated and confusing situation.
Now I knew I shouldn't talk about children or great-grandchildren around Penny, much less tell her about any romantic relationships I might have.
But after wiping the sweat from my forehead, I realized sothing.
'Wait... Why does she have a crib and baby toy magazine?' I asked myself, feeling a chill run down my back.
And without wanting to think about the answer to that question I shook my head before casting the Disillusionnt Charm on myself, quickly walking away without looking back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After leaving Nick and Penny's room, I didn't go straight to the dorms, but instead headed towards the Entrance Hall, which was where the Goblet of Fire was.
After walking a little, being careful not to bump into any teachers or prefects roaming the corridors, I arrived in front of the Entrance Hall, and next to the large doors of the Great Hall I saw the cup on a small table.
Taking a few steps I approached the cup, but stopped when I felt that there was a barrier in front of .
Looking down I saw that there was a golden line drawn around the table with the cup, this being the age line that the Headmaster placed to prevent underage students from trying to enter the tournant.
'Hmm, this age line isn't as complex as I expected it to be' I thought, looking ahead with my Magic Vision.
Placing my hand on my chin I began to evaluate the barrier in front of , noticing that it was a mixture of wards and spells.
'This age line may not be very difficult to break or bypass if you have the necessary knowledge, but for wizards and witches who are still in school it is enough' I reflected.
'But well, that's good for , since thanks to my classes with Penny I have enough knowledge about barriers and wards to figure out a way to overco that age line'
And nodding to myself, I crouched down, propping myself up on one knee as I took a closer look at the barrier created by the Headmaster.
"The age line only stops students under 17 from approaching the cup, and it doesn't stop them from putting their na inside it," I muttered under my breath, "So that ans anyone can enter the tournant to try to be chosen as champion of your school"
'Hmm, I could easily get past him using the Elder Key, but I want to challenge myself a bit' I thought, before smiling and pulling out my wand.
Pointing at the barrier created by the age line, I began writing in the air with the tip of my wand, using ambient magic to create runes.
Finishing weaving these runes I launched them at central points of the barrier, creating an intricacy of runes that connected and began to temporarily disable so of the age line's functions.
But in addition to deactivating so functions, I also modified others, as this would create a loophole and not need to change or break the barrier completely.
'Okay, I think these changes are enough for to get through the barrier' I thought, satisfied with my work.
Standing up I moved a little away from the age line, and putting my hand in my pocket I felt the piece of parchnt with my na on it.
"Well, there's no ti to waste" I said to myself, before relaxing my body, feeling a lightness wash over .
The magic inside began to move, and my body began to turn into mist.
Now in my mist form I looked forward, and without any sign of fear I advanced against the barrier, and just as I expected rather than being repelled or hindered by the age line I passed through it.
'I did it' I thought happily, stopping in front of the Goblet of Fire as my body returned to normal.
Looking back I saw the barrier completely intact, and none of the alarm spells the Headmaster placed on it had activated.
Nodding to myself, I turned my gaze to the cup, seeing the blue-white flas dancing within it.
'Huh?' I blinked in confusion, seeing that there were sothing like almost transparent blue threads coming out of the cup.
And following these threads with my eyes I saw them leaving the Great Hall.
'What is this?' I asked myself.
And without knowing the answer I looked back at the cup, and reaching into my pocket I took out the parchnt with my na.
'Well, I trust that I will be selected as champion, but if that doesn't happen I think I'll have to use so powerful spells that I have in my repertoire to change that' I thought, taking the parchnt to the cup.
I then let the piece of parchnt fall into the cup, disappearing into its flas.
And then the flas flickered, and I saw a thread shoot out of the cup and co towards .
'What?!' I exclaid in surprise in my mind, seeing a thread that was thicker and bluer than the others connected to .
And I could feel that so kind of connection had ford between and the Goblet of Fire, and after thinking for a few seconds the realization hit .
'Wait... Could this thread be the magic connecting to the cup because of the magical contract?' I theorized.
However, I couldn't think much about it, because with my senses I could feel the fake Moody's magic approaching.
I knew he would co tonight to put Harry's na in the cup, and I also knew I had to leave quickly, since his magical eye could see through the Disillusionnt Charm.
Using my mist form I passed through the barrier again, and on the other side I canceled the runes and modifications I had made, making the age line return to normal, leaving it intact as if it had never been changed.
And casting the Disillusionnt Charm on myself again, I quickly and silently left, heading in the opposite direction of where I felt Moody's magic.
And after getting far enough away I stopped, letting out a sigh of relief as I leaned against the wall of the corridor I was in.
'New project, create an invisibility spell that cannot be detected even with magical items' I thought, irritated by Moody's damn magical eye.
Shaking my head and letting that matter go, I looked down, seeing the thread that connected to the Goblet of Fire.
'I guess this ans I've now officially entered the tournant' I thought, feeling a kind of excitent and happiness welling up inside .
'I don't know why, but I'm truly excited to compete in the tasks' and thinking about the dragons, the black lake, and the dozens of creatures in the maze a wild smile appeared on my face.
End.
