We were sitting in the hall that night. Everyone was excited. Why shouldn't we be. We get to support our champion in three events. Sadly i have a feeling just to piss me off my brother will be picked. I forgot he's older than most 6th years. He was born 1977. Little prick but his name in. The Goblet will chose him and I'll have to suffer being the sister of a Hogwarts Champion. Another thing for my parents to praise him for.
Personally I hope they'll pick Angelina. It'd be cool to have a Gryffindor as our champion. Staring at the goblet in front of Dumbldore's seat.Its huge and made of what seems to be stone. A steady blue fire emits from the center. "Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision" Said Dumbldore. "I estimate that it requires one more minute.Now, when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber. Where the will be receiving their first instructions"Dumbledore says.
With the wave of his wand the candles all blew out. The atmosphere in the room was ecstatic. Glancing at Fred I could see he was mouthing Angelina. I turned back to the Goblet. It now shone brighter than ever. The Fire was bright blue almost turning silver. Deep breaths from everyone could be heard. I don't think anyone could be more quiet. Seconds later the flames turned red. Sparks flying and spewing out of the goblet until a piece of charred parchment flew out. Dumbledore reached up and caught it.
"The champion for Durmstrang".Dumbledore paused. Claus. Claus. Claus. "Will be Viktor Krum". Cheers erupt from around the hall (Ron being the loudest) as Viktor rises from the Slytherin table.He then walked through the door past the staff table. "Bravo, Viktor" Igor Karkroff boomed. "Knew you had it in you". I look across to the Slytherin table. Claus is staring at me.I smile as he smiles back. I can see in his eyes that he was upset.Poor guy. We turned back to the Goblet yet again as it glowed red. A new piece of blue charred parchment flew out. Dumbledore took it in his hand and read. "The champion from Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour.". Cheering from the lads mostly as she rose from the Ravenclaw table. She too then Disappeared through the door into the next chamber.
Silence fell again as did my stomach. Please don't pick my brother. The Goblet glowing bright red again spewed out one final piece of burnt parchment . "And the Hogwarts champion is" Dumbledore paused. It was quiet a long pause. "Cedric Diggory". The hall erupted in cheering,clapping and the like. I stood up clapping as did many others. Thank Merlin it wasn't my brother The room was so tightly squeezed together that Cedric struggled to get through. As he was passing me he placed his hand on my lower back and squeezed his way past me and another girl. Fred and George tried not to laugh at the expression on my face. I felt like my soul left my body for a bit. Could this day get any better? He then vanished through the door.
"Wonderful" Dumbledore cried after the long celebration. "We now have our three champions. I am sure I can count upon all of you,including the remaining students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering your champion on, you will contribute in a very real-"Dumbledore stopped speaking because he along with most of us had noticed something rather odd. The Goblet Of Fire was glowing red again. This time more bright then ever. Blinding light filled the room as a piece of parchment flew out of the goblet. It shouldn't have. The Goblet should only pick three champions. Dumbledore looked at the piece of parchment in his hand before mumbling something. He then spoke clearly "Harry Potter"
I looked to my left to see Harry as confused as some of us. "Harry did you...." I whisper. "I didn't put my name in. You know I didn't"He told all of us. "Harry Potter. Up here if you would please" Dumbledore. "Go on" Hermione whispered . Harry stood up and carefully walked to the top of the room.Everyones eyes watching him in the silence. He was lead through the door. Once the door had closed the whole hall erupted into chatter. "This is an outrage" "How can they have two champions" "Cheat". Were all things that were said around the hall. I turn to Neville who was sitting next to me "Do you think he really....." Neville asked trailing off. I shook my head. "Nope. No way" I answered. Who the hell would have?
Later as I was walking back to Gryffindor tower I heard familiar voices. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. "And Potter of all people. Why him?"Draco says as I quickly zoom past him hoping he won't notice me. I stop. Don't turn back. Don't turn back. Screw it.I turn back. "The Goblet picked him because he's brave. I doubt you could face anything that shows up in that tournament." I say emphasizing the word you. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle all looked at me for a moment. A dark figure emerges from behind them. As the figure steps out into the light I see that its my brother. "Don't try to make yourself seem tough" Finnick says. I looked up at my brother with pure anger in my eyes. "Go on run along before you get yourself into real trouble" He says grabbing my shoulders and spinning me around. I looked back at him over my shoulder before walking away.
Seriously, that's who Finnick decided to hang out with. Draco. As I reach the portrait I can hear the fat lady say "Oh out late are we. Better Not let McGonagall catch you. Password" "Balderdash" I say. The door hinges open and I step inside. I see everyone gathered. "Hey" Angelina said calling me over. She handed me a cup. "What's this?" I ask. "Well, don't tell anyone but, It seems like you might just need a bit of firewhiskey" She says smiling. I raise my eyebrows laughing.
Fred and George make there way over to me. "Found yourself a boyfriend?" George asks. "Huh?" I ask sipping the firewhiskey. "Diggory?" Fred adds. "Oh you stupid pigs"
Sorry, we hadn't updated in the past couple of days. We experienced major writers block and didn't want to give you guys a half effort chapter so we skipped them. We'll be back on track for now.We hope you enjoyed. Follow us and Follow the spiders.
