Chapter 6- The Triwizard Tournament

The majority of people had sat down waiting for the big announcement of who would compete in the tournament. To Harry's and surprise and everyone in the great hall when Oscar came in he didn't go and sit at the Slytherin table he came over and sat with Oliver and the Gryffindors. Oscar could hear gasps and whispers from everywhere but he didn't care. He didn't much like the Slytherin students or the Durmstrangs but he did very much like Oliver Wood and some of the Gryffindors (Oliver he liked the most). Harry could see them both giggle nervously and blush to which Harry sniggered at. "Now everyone if I could have your attention. "Over the past week many students that have come of age have placed their names in the goblet of fire in hope of being selected for the tournament to represent their schools. Some who are underaged have also tried to the pleasure of their class mates." He said with a twinkle in his eyes as he looked at Fred and George who still had a bit of grey hair and beards left. "Now if I could have silence." Dumbledore said as he raised his hand and dimmed the lights around the hall. Soon the main light source was the blue flames emitted from the goblet. There was dead silence anticipation in the air. Soon the fire turned a crimson colour and burst out a slightly singed peace of parchment. Dumbledore grabbed it and read out the name. "THE DURMSTRANG CHAMPION IS... VIKTOR KRUM." There was an uproar of applause as Krum got up and shook Dumbledore's hand and made his way down to where the champions would await for further instruction. Then the goblet turned crimson again and burst out a second piece of paper. Dumbledore snatched it out of the air and read out the name. "THE BEAUXBATONS CHAMPION IS... FLUER DELACORE." There was an uproar as well as some wolf whistles as Dumbledore read this out. She shook Dumbledore's hand and made her way to where Viktor had gone. Then finally the goblet's flames turned crimson once more and Dumbledore grabbed the piece of lined paper. Cedric was praying it was him. "THE HOGWARTS CHAMPION IS... CEDRIC DIGGORY." There was perhaps the loudest applause out of them all. Cedric was ok top of the world not able to wipe the smile off his face. He looked at Harry to see him cheering and clapping him as well. Cedric got up and shook Dumbledore's hand then made his way over to where Fluer and Krum were. "Yes, yes well done everyone we now have out three champ-" Dumbledore was interrupted by a large outburst of crimson flames and a piece of parchment flew out the goblet. Dumbledore with a confused expression took it becoming more and more concerned by the second. "Harry Potter..." he muttered becoming more and more concerned by the second. "Harry Potter?" Dumbledore said aloud. At that moment Harry wanted the floor to break under him. Everyone was staring at him. "Come on Harry you need to go." Hermione said. But Harry wouldn't budge. "HARRY POTTER." Dumbledore roared. Hermione pushed him forward and Harry was forced to go up to the headmaster. Dumbledore gave him the parchment. Harry's eyes widened to see his name on a peace of paper. But it wasn't quite Harry's handwriting. Dumbledore pointed to the direction the other three went. Harry just wanted to disappear but he went anyway. He could hear people shout. "He's a cheat." And "he's not even seventeen yet." As he made his way to the entrance of the stairs down to the champions room. Professor Mcgonagall tapped him on the back and gave him a reassuring look. Harry was very thankful to her for that. He made his way down. And the doors opened for him. Fluer saw him first. "Ahh do they want us to come back." She said in her French accent. Harry wished he was but all he could do was not cry. Fluer saw the look on his face. She was really concerned and went up to Harry and hugged him. "What is wrong 'Arry" she said softly. Tears stung his eyes but he wiped them away. Harry let go of her when he saw Cedric behind her. "What's going on." He said his voice full of concern. "I don't know." She said. "Harry what's wrong mate?" He said really worried. Harry ran up to Cedric and hugged him trying to hold in his tears. "Woah, woah easy there what happened?" Cedric said softly trying to calm Harry down. "I didn't want this, I just want to be normal and now I'm sure everyone hates me and you will to when you found out!" Harry cried. "Harry what are you talking about I could never hate you." Cedric said growing more worried as he stroked Harry's hair. "Vhat i goin on ere?" Krum came in with his thick Bulgarian accent. But before anyone could answer Harry's name was called by many people racing down the step. "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!" Dumbledore shouted as he grabbed his collar. "No sir." "DID YOU ASK ANYONE ELSE TO DO IT FOR YOU?" "Yes sir!" "YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE?" "Yes sir" Harry said wiping away his tears. Cedric's eyes widened hearing this. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Vell of carse ee is lying." Madam Maxine shouted slapping a chandelier out of the way. "I don't thinks so Madam Headmistress." Fluer said. "I think he is being genuine." "USE YOUR VEELA POWERS ON HIM TO SEE IF HE IS LYING!" Madam Maxine ordered Fluer. Fluer looked slightly frightened and then everyone went silent watching. Fluer turned to Harry putting on her prettiest smile. Harry noticed how she started getting more beautiful yet stayed the same and her hair shone like diamonds and her eyes became more like diamonds. "Arry did you put your name in ze goblet o fire?" She said smiling. Harry was mesmerised and answered quickly and honestly. "No Fluer I swear I didn't." Harry answered. Suddenly everyone sighed. "Ok Harry I believe you." Dumbledore said. "Surely Albus he cannot compete." Mcgonagall said. "He has to, the goblet makes a binding magical contract. As of tonight Mr Potter is a Triwizard champion." Mr. Crouch said grimly. "TO HELL WITH YOU BARTY AND YOUR RULES AND YOUR GOBLET. POTTER IS A BOY NOT A PIECE OF MEET." Mcgonagall shouted. "He must do Minerva I can't change anything." Mr Crouch said frantically. "I AM ABOUT TO CAT SLAP YOU OUT OF THIS ROOM!" She shouted. Harry couldn't help but smile and think, "wow Mcgonagall is a queen." But then he realised that he had to compete. His face dropped and he sunk into the crowds. "SILENCE EVERYONE PLEASE." Dumbledore shouted. Everyone quieted. He turned to Cedric, "Mr Diggory you and will help Potter train and get prepared for the trials understood?" Cedric nodded. "Now Harry-" he turned to face Harry but Harry wasn't there. "Harry?" He looked around. Soon everyone was shouting his name looking for him. They did not realise that moments later Harry had slipped on his invisibility cloak and had slipped away. Cedric saw a door open then close and decided to follow it as everyone split up to find him. Cedric went through the door seeing the faint wet foot prints on the floor. He followed them downstairs and through corridors. He saw an open door to an empty class room and went in. He could hear faint crying from one of tables in the far corner. He walked up to the sound and outstretched his hand. He moved his hand around in the air until he could feel something. He grabbed it softly and slipped off, to reveal a crying Harry his head in his hands. "Cedric just leave me alone." "Why?" Cedric asked sadly. "Because I know that inside you hate me because I stole your moment." Harry shouted as he pushed Cedric away. "HARRY POTTER YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW." Cedric shouted. Harry looked up. "You listen here and listen good. I could never hate you and I know you didn't want this so do not think for a second this is your fault." Cedric said as Harry wiped away his tears. Cedric sat on the table next to Harry. "Listen Cedric I just wan-" Harry was interrupted as Cedric grabbed him and sat him on his lap hugging from behind. "WHA-" Harry shouted getting red. "If you don't wanna talk that's fine but I can comfort you in other ways." Cedric said tightening his arms around Harry's waist. Harry started to struggle but it was as no use Cedric was too strong so Harry just nodded and excepted it. Cedric buried his head into Harry's shoulder. Harry's shoulder started to tingle as Harry thought, "wow your hair is so soft." Which made him blush at the thought. After about ten minutes of cuddling, Cedric lifted his head. "Better?" He asked. "Loads thanks Ced." Harry said realising seconds after, Cedric hated that nickname his friends gave him. "Sorry didn't mean to I know you hate that name." "Actually I like it when you say it." Cedric said smiling slightly blushing a bit which set Harry off and moments later he was a tomato. "We should go it's getting late I should get back to my common room." "Aww just a few more minutes." Cedric said. "No come on. Actually... no I can't go there everyone will just glare at me and I can't face that." Harry said with a sudden sad realisation. "Not very Gryffindor of you." Cedric joked. "RIGHT PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD BATTLE SOME SORT OF LUNATIC DO NOT CALL ME A COWARD." Harry said as he hit the back of Cedric's head. "Ouch ok point taken." He laughed. "We'll if you can't go there than... you can hang out with my in my dormitory." Cedric said with a big grin on his face. "I'm pretty sure that goes again about twelve school rules." Harry said as he raised and eyebrow. "True but your Harry Potter, rule breaking is your thing." Cedric said hoping to convince Harry. Harry stood there weighing the ups and downs of this decision m. But then he thought of the looks the Gryffindors would give him and he was convinced. "Ok Ced let's do it." Harry said finally. Cedric's eyes widened. "YOU... YOU'RE SERIOUS." Said Cedric excitedly. Harry nodded and smiled. "Alright then let's go." Harry put his invisibility cloak over both of them and they rushed to the Hufflepuff common room. Harry was so afraid that Cedric could hear his heart beat racing at how close they were. When they got to the entrance Harry took off his cloak revealing them. Cedric whispered the password and told Harry to put the cloak on so no one could see him. They walked in and Harry could smell the faint scent of vanilla and honey which calmed him deeply. "Hey Ced nice one for getting in can't believe Potter stole your moment though." "Zacharias I told you not to call me that and if you want to bad mouth Harry don't do it to me." Cedric said. Zach was slightly taken aback but then shrugged it off his shoulders and moved to talk to Hannah and Ernie. Harry follows Cedric up the stairs and into the boys dormitory. Cedric closed the door behind him and sat down on his bed patting for Harry to sit down next to him. Harry took off his invisibility cloak and sat down next to Cedric. "You know you didn't have to defend me like that it's ok I'll understand if you don't want to get any back lash from anyone." "Well that wouldn't make me a good Hufflepuff would it now because our main quality it out loyalty to those we love." Cedric said smiling. "I'm sorry what did you just say. Did you just say you loved me?" Harry asked surprises. "Er, n-no I s-said Hufflepuffs are loyal to those we like." Cedric stammered, Harry nodded not quite convinced. they started talking and then Zacharias, Ernie and a few other Hufflepuff boys came in. They got in their beds after a laugh and a joke, not seeing Harry as he had flung on his invisibility cloak just in time. They wished each other good night and turned out the lights. After a while Cedric made sure they were all definitely asleep and then told Harry it was safe. Harry thanked Cedric as he took a pillow and put it on the opposite side of the bed. "What are you doing?" Cedric said puzzled. "Erm I'm putting a pillow on this side so I don't disturb you and cause it's just polite." Harry said confused. "Oh come on get over here." Cedric said smiling as he rolled his eyes and patted the space next to him on his bed. "Erm... ok" Harry said after a while. He brought the pillow back to where it was and laid down. He completely relaxed and realised how tired he was as his eyes were already shutting. Cedric pulled the covers over them and faced Harry. Watching Harry slowly falling asleep. "So cute." He said aloud. He caressed Harry's raven hair and soft cheeks as he, himself slowly drifted off to sleep.
