Artemis’s P.O.V
It was finally time for people who were at the age of 17 got the choice to put their names into the Goblet of fire and I was sitting with Hermione as she read a book as I watched them put their names in until Fred and George came rushing into the room as they shouted and I chuckled a little when they had done so but also confused at the same time, “well lads, we’ve done it.”George said, “cooked it up just this morning.” Fred told them, “it’s not going to work.” Hermione told them, “oh yeah?” George told her, “and why’s that Granger?” Fred asked her, “you see this. This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself.” Hermione told them, “so?” George questioned, “so, a genius like Dumbledore couldn’t possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an aging potion.” Hermione told them, “but that’s why it’s so brilliant.” Fred said, “because it’s so pathetically dimwitted.” George said as they both had gotten up, “ready Fred?” “Ready George?” they both asked each other before drinking the potions before jumping over the line and waited for a moment before everyone around them cheered and eventually put their names in the Goblet of Fire before cheering again and shortly after, something began to happen only to have both Fred and George thrown back and landing on the floor before they’ve grown beards and their hair turned white and I laughed a little before they began to fight each other, “boys will be boys.” I said to Hermione, “don’t have to tell me twice.” she said before seeing Viktor walk into the room and everyone went quiet as he walked up to the Goblet and put his name in before looking at Hermione and myself as we soon walked away, “bloody hell was that all about?” I asked wondering, “I don’t know.” Hermione told me and eventually, everyone began to gather into the Great Hall and I was sitting with Fred as the both of us talked before hearing Dumbledore speak up as everyone started to sit down, “now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The Champion Selection.” Dumbledore said as the light dimmed a little before the first name came out of the Goblet and Dumbledore caught the piece of paper, “the Durmstrang Champion is Viktor Krum.” Dumbledore said and everyone cheered and clapped for him before another flew from the Goblet, “the Champion for Beauxbatons is Fluer Delacour.” Dumbledore spoke as she stood up and shook his hand before walking away and the same thing happened when another name came out before Dumbledore read it out loud, “the Hogwarts Champion, Cedric Diggory.” he said and everyone cheered for him as well, “excellent. We now have our three Champions. But in the end, only one will go down in history. Only one will hoist this Chalice of Champions. This vessel of Victory, the TriWizard Cup.” Dumbledore said to everyone and the cup was revealed but I noticed that something began to happen and saw that I wasn’t the only one either as another name came from the cup and Dumbledore caught it before reading it out loud, “Harry Potter. HARRY POTTER.” he said looking around and Harry just sat down nervously and Hermione managed to get him to go as he walked up to Dumbledore before walking away to where the others had gone, “how in the bloody hell was he able to put his name into the Goblet, especially what happened with the twins.” I said to Hermione, “I don’t know. But this isn’t good.” she said to me as we heard a couple of people say a few things toward Harry.

After Dumbledore dismissed everyone from the Great Hall, everyone had gone back to their Common Rooms but I had just gone to the Astronomy Tower as I didn’t know how to think about what had just happened before I heard someone and saw that it was Fred and I smiled a little, “how are you feeling?” he asked me and I sighed, “I don’t know to be honest. I don’t know what to think about what had just happened with Harry.” I told him as he sat down next to me, “I’m sure he will get through this.” he said and I nodded, “you know, it was pretty funny when you and George tried. You look cute with a beard.” I said to him and we both chuckled, “well I’m glad that I can make you laugh.” he said to me and I just smiled at him as there was a moment of silence as the both of us looked out before speaking up again, “did you see what happened at the World Cup the other day?” he asked me, “well, not really. My father just told Draco and I to leave and not to look outside. But I did read the Daily Prophet and about the Dark Mark that was Conjured in the sky. Death Eaters were there, that much was obvious.” I told him, “yeah. There were a ton of Ministry workers there too and it all happened under their noses.” he said to me and I sighed a little “I wonder what might happen now that Death Eaters are coming back. Do you think they might be planning something?” I asked him as I looked at him, “I don’t know. But whatever is going on it might not be good if the Death Eaters are involved.” he told me, “I’m worried.” I told him and rested my head on his shoulder, “I’m sure everything will be fine. The worst thing that can happen is You-Know-Who coming back.” he said, “what if he does? It only makes sense when his followers are coming back.” I told him getting even more worried than before, “if he does, so be it. I’ll make sure nothing happens to you and I know Draco would do the same.” he said and I smiled a little, “you really mean that?” I asked wondering, “yeah, of course I mean it. I meant every word.” he said, causing me to blush a little before I let out a yawn, “you’re getting tired aren’t you?” he asked and I nodded, “yeah a little bit.” I said to him, “alright, let’s get you back to your Common Room then so you can go to bed.” he said and I nodded before we stood up and made our way to the Slytherin Common Room, “I’ll see you later.” I said to him with a small smile, “see you later.” he said to me before kissing my cheek and I began to blush again and I smiled at him, “goodnight” I said to him, “goodnight Darling.” he said before walking away and I managed to get into the Common Room and went to my dorm and soon went to sleep that night with a smile on my face.

It was another day and classes were continuing as planned and throughout that time until Study Break, all I was thinking about was what had happened with Harry and when I noticed him walk in and I went over to him to see how he was doing, “hey, how are you doing?” I asked him as I sat down next to him, “could be better. How about you?” He said and I shrugged a little, “ not too bad I guess” I told him and we both did our homework together for a bit before the Study Break was over and went to our next few classes together throughout the rest of the day. When Saturday came around, I decided to hang out with Harry and Neville as the three of us were by the lake and Neville decided to go into the lake as Harry was about to look through a book Neville had gotten, “Amazing. Amazing.” Neville began to say before Harry spoke up, “Neville, you’re doing it again.” Harry told him before he started looking through the book, “oh. Right, sorry” Neville said before Harry spoke up again, “Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs?” Harry read out, “Moody gave it to me. That day we had tea.” Neville said to him, “I swear I have a bad feeling about Moody. Ever since he got here, it’s as if everything is changing. Maybe he had something to do with your name being put into the Goblet of Fire.” I whispered to Harry, “why would he do that?” he asked me and I shrugged, “I don’t know, it’s just a feeling I guess. It’s like the feeling of wondering what he’s been drinking from that flask of his.” I told him before we noticed Neville waving at someone and we looked to see that it was Ron, Hermione and Ginny, “I heard you and Ron are having a rough patch. Is everything alright with the both of you?” I said to him, “he thinks I somehow put my name in the cup.” he told me as we stood up, “I’m sure he’s not the only one either to be honest. I’m sure there are others saying so as well.” I mentioned to him before Hermione walked up to us, “Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid’s looking for you.” Hermione said to him, “is that right? Well, you- what?” Harry tried to say before Hermione went back to Ron before coming back, “Dean was told by Parvati that- please don’t ask me to say it again. Hagrid’s looking for you.” she said to Harry, “well you can tell Ronald-” Harry said before Hermione cut him off, “I’m not an Owl.” she said to him before walking away with Ginny and Ron soon followed them and I sighed a little, “that was interesting. I wonder what Hagrid could want.” I said to him, “who knows what it could be.” he said before we went back to sitting by the tree and looked through the book Neville had gotten from Moody. Later on, the three of us eventually went back to the Castle since it was getting late, “I’ll let you know what Hagrid said when I see him later alright.” Harry told me and I nodded, “alright. See you later.” I said to him before we had gone our separate ways for the night as we got ready for the feast later and when the feast was over, I had gone straight to my Dorm for the rest of the night.
