The Chosen One

four

It was finally the 31st, the announcement of the Triwizard Champions. I jumped up and grabbed Hermione and Ron, while Harry trotted behind us. We walked into the Great Hall around 7:30 and sat down. All of the students sat down as well, including the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students.

"Hello students! I hope if you have entered your name, you are ready. After this, there's no turning back!" Dumbledore broadcasted to the whole room. "Now please, enjoy the feast before we start!"

After Dumbledore talked, foods of all sorts appeared on the table. Everyone started to eat. "This is amazing!" Hermione said.

"Yeah, guys i'll be right back, i'm gonna go wish Cedric good luck!" I said while getting up.

Harry gave me a dirty look but I ignored it.

I walked over to Cedric, "good luck!" I said with a smile.

His nervous look turned into a happy smile, "thank you!" and he gave me a hug.

All his Hufflepuff friends let out loud 'ooohhhhs'.

I gave him a thumbs up and a smile, as I backed up, and walked away.

I sat back down at the Gryffindor table, and Hermione giggled, Ron laughed, and Harry rolled his eyes.
Dumbledore finally started talking to announce the champions.

"Hope everyone enjoyed their food, now let's get started."
Everyone quieted down.
I gave Hermione a nervous look, and watched Dumbledore walk over to the Goblet of Fire.
The raging blue fire got taller and taller, until a small piece of brown parchment came out of it, and landed in the headmaster's hand.
"Now, the Durmstrang champion will be.." Dumbledore flipped over the parchment, "Viktor Krum!"
Everybody cheered, especially people from Durmstrang. Dumbledore congratulated Viktor as he walked through the door into the trophy room.
"Next is our Beauxbatons champion." Dumbledore said as the blue fire got tall again, and a blue parchment paper with a gold rim flew out.
"The Beauxbatons champion will be..Fleur Delacour!" Everyone also cheered, especially all the boys. And as Krum, she walked into the trophy room.

Before Dumbledore announced the Hogwarts champion, I looked at Cedric and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Okay, time for the Hogwarts champion." Dumbledore said as a yellow and black parchment came out of the fire, "The Hogwarts champion is.. Cedric Diggory!"

I cheered for Cedric, and so did everyone else. A huge smile spread across Cedric's face as Dumbledore congratulated him. He also walked into the trophy room.
"Now, we finally have our 3 Hogwarts champions!" Dumbledore yelled happily as he walked to the front of the room. "Whoever wins this tournament, their name will go down in history! Also, whoever wins will get this."

He took out his wand and pointed at an object with a big cover on it. He took the cover off and under it was a beautiful blue glass trophy, with the words 'Triwizard Tournament' written on it.

Everyone cheered in excitement, until one of the teachers pointed at the cup, and Dumbledore turned around, and the cheers stopped.

The blue fire had been higher than ever, and a white piece of parchment came flying out.
"Harry Potter?" Dumbledore said quietly.

Everyone gasped, then Dumbledore yelled, "HARRY POTTER!"

Hermione pulled Harry out of his seat, and he walked over to Dumbledore. He handed Harry his parchment and Harry awkwardly walked to the trophy room door. When he was walking, whispers of all sorts started.

"He's a cheat!"

"He's not even 17 yet!"

"Did he really?" I whispered to Ron and Hermione, who's eyes were wide open. He walked into the trophy room, and all the teachers followed after him.
