57. THE CHOOSING
THE GREAT HALL was loud and full of energy as students from all three schools began to sit down. Meanwhile, Thea was already sat down next to Cedric, trying not to throw up from nerves. The Hogwarts students all sat by house, so Thea only sat with her boyfriend, Eva, Noelia, Poppy, Micah, Silas, and Wesley.
"It'll be okay," Cedric told his girlfriend softly, slipping his hand into hers and kissing it. "I promise, okay?"
"You can't promise me that." Thea whispered back.
"Thea, please. It's going to be fine. I'm probably not even going to get chosen. Love, smile for me," Cedric begged her before pecking the girl's lips with a kiss. "Please?"
Shaking her head, Thea reluctantly smiled slightly. She leaned her head on Cedric's shoulder, and he gladly let her, wrapping an arm around her.
"Sit down. Please. Now the moment you've all been waiting for: The champion selection." Dumbledore began to speak loudly to the large crowd. The Goblet of Fire lit up with blue flames and a paper flew out, Dumbledore easily catching it. "The Durmstrang champion is Viktor Krum."
The large boy stood up, grinning as he heard the large shouts and howls from his peers. Krum stood up and shook Dumbledore's hand before walking to the designated area.
"You brought a bag, right?" Thea glanced at her best friend.
"I know you too well not to." Eva whispered back, holding up an empty plastic bag.
"What the fuck is wrong with her?" Micah asked.
"I'm terrified out of my mind, and perhaps that's making me a bit nauseous." Thea glared at Micah with a sarcastic smile. Anxiety grew in her chest as Dumbledore caught the next name.
"The champion for Beauxbatons is," Dumbledore turned towards the group of students in blue uniferforms. "Fleur Delacour."
"I think I'm going to throw up even if he doesn't get chosen." Thea told Eva quietly.
"Thea, my love, can you please try not to throw up?" Cedric replied, placing a comforting hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"The Hogwarts champion..." Thea glanced at Tobi, who squeezed Fred and George's shoulders excitedly, hoping he'll get chosen. She then turns back to Cedric, who had his eyes on Dumbledore's anxiously. "Cedric Diggory!"
"Fuck." Thea immediately said as she could feel her eyes flash gold.
"Oh shit." Cedric sighed right after and turned to Thea with an apologetic look.
"Diggory! Go! You just got chosen!" Micah urged his friend, waving his hands.
"I love you, so much," Cedric leaned down, kissing Thea's cheek and giving her a grin. "Have I mentioned that?"
