THIRD PERSON POV

Harry sat there, aware that every head in the Great Hall had turned to look at him. He was stunned. He felt numb.He was surely dreaming. He had not heard correctly.There was no applause. A buzzing, as though of angry bees, was starting to fill the Hall; some students were standing up to get a better look at Harry as he sat, frozen, in his seat.

Up at the top table, Professor McGonagall had got to her feet and swept past Ludo Bagman and Professor Karkaroff to whisper urgently to Professor Dumbledore, who bent his ear toward her, frowning slightly.

Harry turned to Ron, Arilene and Hermione sitting beside his left; beyond them, he saw the long Gryffindor table all watching him, open mouthed. "I didn't put my name in," Harry said blankly. "You know I didn't." The three of them stared at him with a blank look.

"Poor boy" Lily whispered staring at the book sadly. 

At the top table, Professor Dumbledore had straightened up,nodding to Professor McGonagall. "Harry Potter!" he called again. "Harry! Up here, if you please!"

"Go on," Hermione whispered, giving Harry a slight push.

Harry got to his feet, trod on the hem of his robes, and stumbled slightly. The buzzing grew louder and louder. After what seemed like an hour,he was right in front of Dumbledore, feeling the stares of all the teachers upon him. "Well . . . through the door, Harry," said Dumbledore. He wasn't smiling.

"What's gonna happen now?" Adalyn said looking at the others worriedly. "What will happen? He put his name there didn't he? So much for eternal glory" Ron scoffed getting up from his seat and rushing out of the hall. "Oh god, so much for a peaceful year" Adalyn groaned hiding her face in her hands.

"They expect too much from themselves, really. A peaceful year? With them? Sounds exactly right" Amycus scoffed as Lucius glanced at him with a small smile. "Why Carrow, I thought you had more guts to speak that, cowarded against Black didn't you? Such a shame" He muttered causing the man to growl and glare at him. 

"Shut up Malfoy"

 "Oh so now I am supposed to shut up, when it's you who can't even control a silly little girl" 

On the other hand, the other three champions were joined by Harry and every other teacher present in Hogwarts.

Mr. Crouch looked slightly eerie,the half darkness making him look much older, giving him an almost skull-like appearance. When he spoke, however, it was in his usual curt voice."We must follow the rules, and the rules state clearly that those people whose names come out of the Goblet of Fire are bound to compete in the tournament."

"Well, Barty knows the rule book back to front," said Bagman,beaming and turning back to Karkaroff and Madame Maxime, as though the matter was now closed.

"I insist upon resubmitting the names of the rest of my students," said Karkaroff. He had dropped his unctuous tone and his smile now. His face wore a very ugly look indeed. "You will set up the Goblet of Fire once more, and we will continue adding names until each school has two champions. It's only fair, Dumbledore."
