The tension rose as the day of new arrivals came around. It was cold and windy the day Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrived at Hogwarts. Almost everyone that came with those two schools entered the tournament, very few from Hogwarts entered. The Weasley twins tried with a age potion which failed miserably they both ended up with white fluffy beards. I was currently sitting in the library with Hermione watching Viktor Crum with the parading girls following every trail he leaves and every once in a while one of them are brave enough to walk up and ask for a auto-graph.
"What's the big point about fangirling over him anyways? It's only because he's famous," I snarled turning to Hermione who was starring into her D.A.D.A text book obviously not paying attention "I'm all for Quidditch I wouldn't mind getting his autograph but that is just a whole other level, stalking him like he's a part of the weird sisters," I continued to rant until we met eyes and his scowl turned into a smile which made me blush instantly, it looked as if he were about to walk over and greet us but Hermione stood up closing her book.
"It's almost time come on Am," She said grabbing my hand practically dragging me. Viktor and his group of girls exited behind us so we lead the way to the Great Hall. The chatter was loud and excitement lingered through the air I couldn't help but grin as we took our seats by Ron, Harry, and the twins.
"Once again. I give a warm welcome to the other schools," Dumbledore said motioning to the Slytherin and Ravenclaw table where the foreign schools sat. "But tonight marks the officially start of the Tri-Wizard-Tournament. There will be three dangerous tasks, you are expected to complete them without help by a professor," There were a few wolf whistles as Filtch dragged up the great big box that contained the Goblet of Fire, once again it shined silver but the flames were a brighter blue as it mixed up the names, Anticipation now lingered as no sound at all issued from students.
SNAPES POV:
The Goblet of fire was spitting sparks of red which evaporated into the air. Karkanoff was Starring into the cup as if he were deciding himself; We all knew he favored Krum. As the first name was spit on a ruffled parchment Dumbledore reached up and grasped it into his hand looking down at it with knowing marked in his blue eyes.
"The Durmstrang Champion is," He paused holding the slip of paper into the air "Viktor Krum," He shouted over the clapping. It was obvious the goblet would draw him. The broad shoulders, a natural enemy to most men. He smirked to himself and walked to the back room behind the high table. Fire stirred more another slip of paper shot up.
"The Beauxbatons champion is," He bent his crooked nose to look down at the paper and held it high above his head "Fleur Delacour!," More cheers erupted at all of the tables as the last champion was getting picked from inside the goblet Spitting out the parchment of the Hogwarts champion.
"And the Hogwarts Champion is," He looked down at the paper. It happened in a flash as I stood behind Dumbledore, the Parchment that once read Cedric Diggory now read a different name. "Amortia Black," there were no whistles, no cheers, no claps. Except complete utter silence that rang in my ears.
She couldn't have entered by herself could she? The age line prevented that of course. How did her name get entered? Was it someone older then her? They would have to put a different wizarding school down just to enter, the goblet only picks one from each school or else it has to be bewitched-
"What..?," I whispered as the goblets fire turned blood red trying to reject another slip it shot up in the air and landed softly into Dumbledores hand whom clenched it and read loud.
"Harry Potter," Angry sputters erupted as two Gryffindors whom look like they have no clue what is going on walked past Dumbledore, both seemed to be afraid and also worried. Minerva got up and strode into the room along with Bagman and Crouch. Albus and I followed closely behind.
"Surely you can't let them compete!,". Minerva shrieked after a half hour of arguing
"The rules are.....," Crouch said grimly with a short pause "Final," And with that he and Bagman left the room to leave Mad eye, Albus, Minerva, and I staring helplessly at each other
"Hogwarts is a cheat," Karkanoffs words rang inside of my head, I didn't notice Dumbledore was speaking to me.
"Severus. Alastor," He said bending over the pensive pulling a white stringy memory from his head and swirling it inside of the bowl to make out the parchments that read Harry and Amortia's name. "Watch out, and protect them please," With that he turned and strode out of the room his purple cape billowing behind him.
