Harry walks into the room and I gasp ruining over to him but before I can do anything Dumbledore and the others burst into the room.

"Harry! Did you put your name in the
goblet of fire?" Dumbledore accuses.

"No sir." He replies

"Did you ask one of the older students
to do it for you?" He asks again.

"No sir." Harry replies.

"You're absolutely sure?" Dumbledore says.

"Yes sir."

"Well of course he is lying." Madame Maxime states

"The hell he is. The goblet of fire is
an exceptionally powerful magical object, only an exceptionally powerful conjurer could have hoodwinked it. Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth year." Moody defends.

"You seem to have given this a fair bit
of thought Mad-Eye." Igor says and I step back and stand beside Ced, Viktor and Fleur with Sebastian and Chloé behind us.

"It was once my job to think as dark
wizards do Karkaroff perhaps you remember?" Moody says.

"That doesn't help Alastor. Leave this
to you Barty." Dumbledore says.

"The rules are absolute, the goblet of
fire constitutes a binding magical contract. Mr Potter has no choice, he is as of tonight... a tri-wizards champion." Barty says and Harry looks over to me with the look of fear and horror on his face. Ced and Viktor try hold me back but I run over and wrap my arms around the fourth year as he snuggles into my embrace. I look back at the champions and helpers and we all have the same look on our faces concern and fear.

"I can't believe we have to sit through an interview with Rita Skeeter," I groan and the boys look to me and the girls who are sitting on three arm chairs in front of them.

"I know she twists everything," Cedric says.

"Is she that bad," Chloé asks.

"Yes," me and Ced say at the same time then look at each other before laughing.

"So you and Cedric?" The two French girls smirk as the boys wander off doing their own thing and we sit in three armchairs. I blush and it takes me a while to recover from the shock.

"What do you mean?" I ask sitting back in the arm chair.

"You two are meant to be you go together like um....What is that English expression.... oh yes peanut butter and jelly," Fleur says and I smile.

"We are best friends," I say and they give me a 'don't kid yourself honey' look and I finally give in and sigh.

"Okay maybe I like him a tiny bit," I say and at that exact time the boys walk over.

"Like who a tiny bit," Sebastian questions.

"No one!" Me, Chloé and Fleur exclaim.

A woman appears in a puff of smoke. She's well groomed and dressed
colorfully.

"What a charismatic quartet. Hello!" Rita says and I cringe at her obnoxiousness.

The four tri-wizard champions and helpers along with me are stood together in a group. She walks over to us and shakes each of our hands.

"I'm Rita Skeeter, I write for the daily
prophet. But of course you know that
don't you. It's you we don't know, you're the news. What quirks lurk beneath those rosy cheeks? What is in that flawless skin? What are you withholding you fierce and very tall beauty?what mysteries do the muscles mask? does courage lie beneath those
curls? In short, what makes a champion tick. Me, myself and I want to know. Not to mention my rabid readers. So, who's feeling up to sharing? Mmm? Shall we start with the youngest. Lovely." She says grabbing Harry and running off. About ten minutes later she comes back and scans everyone with her eyes before she lands on me and smirks.

"How about we have tall, fierce and beautiful?" She says as she grabs me and pulls me into the closet.

"So about you, what makes you crack?" She asks.

"Annoying people," I snap.

"Who is your boyfriend?" She asks wiggling her eyebrows.

"No one," I say coldly.

"Are you sure, I'm pretty sure Cedric has caught your eye," she says and that is when I snap.

"That's it," I say grabbing her by the collar and dragging her out before throwing her on the ground.

"Your one vile young lady," she says.

"And your one vile old lady," I snap.

----

"Amazing. Amazing." Neville gapes.

"Neville! You're doing it again!" I smile

"Oh, right sorry." He apologises and I giggle.

"Magical water plants of the highland Lochs?" Harry asks reading the title of Neville's book.

"Moody gave it to me. That day we had tea." He explains.

"Of course he did," I growl thinking of that bitch. Neville waves. Hermione and Ron are walking up to them.

"We've already been through enough people why don't you just go and do it yourself? Ughh. What do you want me to say again?" Hermione says.

Ron whispers some words to Hermione. It's clear Ron and Harry
are not on speaking terms. Hermione walks up to us.

"Ronald would like me to tell you that
Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid was looking for
you." She explains

"Is that right? Well.... what?" Harry asks confused.

"Uhhh..." She walks back to Ron for more whispering and comes back.

"Dean was told by Parvati that... Please don't ask me say it again. Hagrid's looking for you." She says.

"Well you can tell Ronald..." Harry says.

"I'm NOT an owl!"

----

"Cedric rules!" A boy shouts.

"Thanks." Harry says and I chuckle.
We get to a doorway, two pupils stand in out way.

"Like the badge?" One asks.

"Would you like my fist in your face?" I say in the sweetest voice I can.

"Excuse me.." Harry says.
They laugh, Harry pushes his way through. We approach Cedric
who is standing around with his friends. Cedric's friends hurl off more insults.

"Can I have a word?" I ask and glare at his friends.

"Alright." He says. We walk away some distance.

"Dragons. That's the first task. They've
got one for each of us." Harry explains.

"Are you serious? And Fleur and Krum, do they...?" Ced asks.

"Yes." Harry says.

"Right. Hey listen, about the badges.
I've asked them not to wear them." Ced says. He's so sweet, his friends, not so much.

"Don't worry about it." Harry says as he walks away leaving me and Ced alone.

"Can I talk to your friends?" I ask innocently.

"Sure," he smiles and we walk back over to his friends.

"Next one to wear one of those badges will be roadkill," I threaten.

"Bye Ced," I say kissing his cheek before leaving and not looking back. WHY DID I KISS HIS CHEEK. IT JUST HAPPENED I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT I JUST DID IT LIKE IT WAS NATURAL.
