I Fell In Love With Harry Potter

Chapter 10: The Champions and the First Task

The goblet started to smoke and a little slip of paper flew out of it. Dumbledore grabbed the slip and opened it up. "The champion from Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour." Dumbledore read. The crowd started to clap as Fleur walked to the front. She stood next to Dumbledore while he read the rest of the names. "The champion from Durmstrang is Viktor Krum." He said reading the second slip. The applause for Viktor was louder than it was for Fleur. He walked up to stand beside Fleur. A third slip was read."And the final champion from Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory." Dumbledore read. The crowd started to go wild. "No surprise there." Ron called to us over the crowd. "Okay that's the last-." Dumbledore stopped speaking. The goblet turned red and sparks were flying out of it. Another piece of parchment flew out. Dumbledore grabbed it and when he read it, he looked shocked. He cleared his throat and read: "Harry Potter."  Everyone didn't clap or cheer. Some people got up on their seats to see Harry sitting beside me. I looked at Harry and saw he had the same look everyone else did. "Go up there." Hermione hissed at him. I squeezed his hand and whispered to him"It will be okay just go." He looked into my eyes and smiled. I gave him a kiss and watched him walk up to Dumbledore. "This has never happened in Hogwarts History." Dumbledore said. "Everyone our fourth champion." He started to clap and everyone joined in. When lunch was over all three of us headed to the dormitory to talk over what just happened."I didn't put my name in." Harry told us. "I know we all three believe you." I replied squeezing his hand. "But what I don't understand is if it wasn't you then who was it?" Hermione said. "Maybe someone put his name in to get him killed." Ron suggested. "Yeah but who would do that?" I asked. "I don't know but we better find out who before he does get killed." Hermione replied. We decided to keep our eyes and ears open for anything mysterious going on.  The week passed and nothing mysterious happened. Everyone treated Harry the same as they did before. The teachers were more nicer than ever. We got our stuff for Transfiguration and headed there. We got into her class and noticed she looked different than a week ago. Her hair looked the same but not the way she looked. Her clothes were a little loose around her stomach. When she stood up we noticed she had a belly. "Wow now you can tell." Ron said staring at her. "Yeah i know. I wonder how many other people know?" Hermione replied. The whole class seemed to notice and was talking about it. "Settle down class I have a few things I want to tell you." She said. The class grew quiet as she told us. "The first thing is Professor Snape and I are expecting a baby soon." She told us. "It will be a boy." The class still was quiet about it. "The second thing is in December we will be hosting a Yule Ball." She said looking around the class. "The Yule Ball is a dance for the whole school and the champions." She looked over at Harry when she said that. "The champions must have a date and the dance will give you a chance to let your hair down." She continued. Parvati and Lavender started to giggle. They both looked at Harry and Ron. "Don't worry we are taking you guys." They told Hermione and me. "Good." I replied scooting closer to him. We began our work still talking about the dance. "I can't even dance." I told them. "Don't worry I can't either." Hermione told me. Harry and Ron began to laugh. "Don't worry we will teach you." They assured us. The months went by and the First Task grew closer. When it was the day of the First Task, everyone was excited but Harry. He had the case of the nerves. "It will be okay you will be fine." I told him. "I hope so." He replied. "We will be in the crowd cheering for you." Hermione told him. The classes were cut short for the tournament. Everyone headed to the edge of the forest where the task would take place. Bagman's voice echoed in the forest. "Today the champions have to collect the Golden Egg." He told the crowd. Krum went first, then Fleur, Cedric and lastly Harry. When it was Harry's turn we saw the dragon he had to get the golden egg from. "That's a Hungarian Horntail. The fiercest of all dragons." Ron told us. I gulped loudly. "GO HARRY!"  I yelled out loud. When he heard me yell that, he looked up and waved. I waved back smiling. The whistle blew and the task began. Harry held up his wand and shouted "Accio Firebolt." His firebolt came hurtling toward him. He jumped onto it and flew toward the dragon. He leaned down right as the dragon blew fire. I gasped loudly and almost cried. Then I saw him fly out with the golden egg in his hand. The crowd started to cheer. He felw over to the over side where Professor McGonagall and Madam Promfrey were. I hurried out of the stands towards him. Ron and Hermione followed behind me trying to keep up. When he saw me, He ran toward me with arms open wide. I ran into them and cried. "I thought you were going to be burned." I exclaimed. "Me too but it's okay." He told me. I looked into his eye.s He wiped off the tears with his hand and gave me a comforting kiss. Hermione and Ron came towards us panting. "G-Good Job man." Ron gasped clutching at his side. "Thanks." Harry replied. "Time for you to get cleaned up and to see your score." Madam Promfrey sadi. All three of us followed them into the hospital tent. Fleur,Viktor and Cedric were in there healing. Harry had a burn but it wasn't to serious. Madam Promfrey put a greenish looking liquid in it. The burn started to smoke and heal. Bagman's voice came onto the microphine saying it was time for the score. We went to the opening of the tent to listen to the scores. Harry was tied with Krum with 28 points. Charlie came over to congradulate him. "I got to run and write to Mum." He told us. Everyone headed back to the school for the rest of school.
