Marley black and the goblet of fire

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

The hall was silent, waiting for the goblet to spit out the names of the champions.

The flames grew and turned blazing red, before spitting out a name and returning to normal. "The hogwarts champion, Cedric digory." Dumbledore announced with a slight smile on his face.

The goblet repeated its process of choosing the chapions, "The durmstrang champion, Viktor Krum." He announced and the noise in the hall was deafening.

"the Beauxbatons champion, Flure Delacure." He announced again and the hall erupted with cheers again. All three champions disappearing from sight into a hidden room.

Dumbledore opened his mouth to say something more when the goblet flared up again, spitting out yet another slightly charred piece of parchment. "harry potter." He said in disbelief, "HARRY POTTER!" He shouted and Hermione pushed harry up and towards Dumbledore. Harry walked past him and into the room with the rest of the champions.

The professors were getting ready to walk back to question him when yet again the goblet flared up, spitting out another piece of parchment. Dumbledore caught it midair and yelled "marley black."

I got up and strode up and past the professors and into the hidden trophy room.

Cedric, Flure and Viktor were standing by the fire looking at harry and I. "Harry! Did you put your name into the goblet?" Dumbledore questioned angry. "no sir." Harry replied, "did you ask one of the older students to do it for you?" he questioned again but slightly calmer this time. "no sir" harry said again and Dumbledore spun on me. "no I didn't enter myself. And I know I'm of age, and I know cedric has been chosen already, but I have a theory." I told him and he motioned for me to continue.

I sat down in one of the chairs, "well obviously, someone used a confundus charm on the goblet. And they must be extremely powerful, but they must have added two more schools to the competition and entered Harry into one and myself into another, that way we would be the only ones that could have been chosen." I explained "But why would someone want to do that?" Cedric asked and I could see the same question burning in all the headmaster's/mistresses eyes.

My eyes went dark, I could tell they did and Dumbledore looked at me intensely. "I think that everyone should head back to their rooms, it is late, we will sort this out in the morning with barty." He said and everyone but Dumbledore and I got up and walked out.

As soon as they were all gone and the door had shut he looked at me. "I have gotten my sight back. And I have seen many visions of this year. None of the challenges, but a lot of what happens around them. I know who wants Harry and I but not why, or who they are using inside the castle to get to us." I told him, and he nodded. "who is it and why?" he questioned after a moment of silence.

"He-who-must-not-be-named. He is who is after harry and I, I don't know the full extent of why he needs harry. I just know that there is a spell that he needs harry to complete so that he can get his old body back. I don't know how to stop him, all I know is that it must happen so that in the future he can be rightfully defeated." I said and he nodded understandingly, we could not stop this, no matter how hard we tried. It would just postpone it and his wrath would be 10x worse if we did.

"and what about you?" he asked me and I sighed.

"I don't fear him, you heard what happened at the world cup didn't you?" I asked and he nodded with a slight proud smile on his face.

"well he, and the death eaters, are very angry at that. He either intends to kill me and get rid of the threat that I pose, or teach me a lesson in hopes that I learn to fear him and his organization." I told him with anger in my eyes. "yes, and do you know when this is going to happen?" he asked me, I nodded of course I do.

"the last challenge, he will manipulate Flure and Viktor so that they don't make it to the end and harry, cedric and I will. He will turn the cup into a port key and it will take us to him, but sadly only harry and maybe I will make it back alive." I told him sadly, a traitorous tear slipping down my cheek.

"I can maybe stop it so that cedric does come back with us alive, but by the end of the encounter I will either be dead or close to it. So please have madame pomfree on hand. If I am dying she is the only one I trust to be there to help me." I told him and he nodded, grateful that I told him all this.

"now that that is over with, I think it is time for you to go back to the common room. Everyone will be wanting to celebrate, and who am I to deny them the chance to make noise and a mess." He smiled amusedly at me and I chuckled getting up and quickly hugging him and running out of the room and up to the common room.
