It's been two days, now it's Thursday. Time for the choosing. I haven't really seen George and Fred or Harry and his trio since the incident with the ageing potion since Rose and Johanna has made me spend a lot of time with them.

We all enter the hall, I walk over to Harry, Ron and hermione.

"Wish me luck" I smile,

"Good luck" they all say, George and Fred walk over to us. They stand by their brother Ron and ruffle his hair.

"Who's this Ronald?" They nod towards me.

"I'm Clementine thanks for asking but call me Cleo" I hold out my hand they both shake it.

"Fred" Fred says, I have to find something to tell them apart with.

"George" George smiles.

"Please be seated" Dumbledore tells everyone. I leave the hogwarts pupils and sit with my school. "Now for the moment you've all been waiting for! The champion selection!" Dumbledore dims the lights by dimming the fire lanterns. He waits for a name to be selected.

The goblet glows a pinky red before a piece of paper floats out of it.

"The Durmstrang champion is, Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore announces I clap loudly and cheer for him. He looks at me and smiles. He shakes hands with Dumbledore and goes through to the champions room.

The goblet does the same again but this time it says a Beauxbatons pupils name. My name. Everyone cheers, I smile widely and raise from my seat. I glance over at Fleur who flashes with jealously. I chortle and shake hands with Dumbledore before entering Hogwart's trophy room.
I hug Viktor as I do.

"Congratulations Cleo" he congratulates me, I thank him and congratulate him. We wait for the Hogwarts champion. The cute boy from the other day walks in, Cedric.

"Congratulations Cedric" I smile, he thanks me. I stand beside the fire and I close my eyes, it's all really happening.

We all talk and joke for a few moments until we hear the door open...

Harry potter walks in.

"Harry?" I ask, he swallows nervously. We hear a chorus of arguments follow.
"HARRY! DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!" Dumbledore asks calmly, I watch as Harry gets questioned by Dumbledore and the others. They argue some more before they announce finally that Harry is in fact a triwizard champion.

We all get to return to our dorms for the night, on the way back I bump into the Weasley twins.

"Congrats Cleo!" They say together, I beam at them.

"Thank you boys" I nod my head.

"We're betting on you" George tells me, I hug them both.

"Thanks boys" I leave them and head to the showers. I shower and change before going to sleep.

In the morning I change into my uniform and head back to the champions room. We have to pose for a picture so I stand beside Viktor and Harry. Viktor sneakily places his arm around me and holds me by my hip as the photo is snapped. Harry and Cedric didn't notice.
Today we have our interviews with Rita Skeeter. Harry is interviewed first then Cedric then me.

She takes me inside a broom cupboard.

"So tell me Clementine how did you feel when you got called even when you knew your mother didn't want you to?" She asks

"Please call me Cleo and if you haven't noticed my parents are dead, my mother didn't want me getting hurt not entering the tournament. If you must know it was my headmistress who didn't want me placing my name in the goblet. "

"Oh so you're the rebel girl who likes to do as she pleases?" She asks, furrowing her brow.

"No I just—" She cuts me off before I can continue.

"—Do you think you can win?" She asks.

"I can easily win" I say a bit too cockily. She smirks and raises her eyebrows.

"So is there anything going on between you and Viktor krum?" Rita brings up the question that I most expected.

"No, of course not, we are just old friends." I explain. She narrows her eyes leaning towards me.

"One last question...are you scared?" She lowers her irritating voice. I manage to control my eye roll.

"No, I'm far from scared, I'm excited, ecstatic and ready for this tournament." I tell her, shortly after, she dismisses me and I head back to my room.

I change and go outside, I go down by the lake and take off my teeshirt and shorts. I'm hot and bothered after that interview.

I swim around in my underwear as unladylike as it is. If Madame Maxine caught me now she would faint.
I smile as the water caresses my skin, I gasp as I notice the weasley twins walking towards me.

"George, Fred" I smile, George picks up my shorts and Fred picks up my teeshirt.

"Wow Cleo didn't know you liked swimming in your nickers" Fred chuckles, I roll my eyes.

"Give me back my clothes" I order, the twins look at each other, mischief in their eyes.

"Ok" they throw in my clothes, I grab them and slip them on.

"You're so dead weasleys!" I run towards them and jump on George back, I laugh and pin him to the floor, Fred picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.

"Quick George what should i do?" Fred laughs,

"Throw her back in and run!" George suggests, I squeal as I'm thrown back in. I climb out and use a spell to dry off.

"Jerks!" I joke as the boys run off.

The next day

I walk through the corridors to see nearly everyone has a Cedric Digory badge, I raise my eyebrows and head to my room. I collapse down on my bed and peer out the window.

"Hey Hun, you've got mail" Rose points at the window on the other side of me, I roll over to see an owl. I let the owl in and take the letter.

Cleo, I heard your in the triwizard tournament. Be careful and good luck I wish I could watch but I'm in a sticky situation. I don't want you getting hurt and I don't want you to lose. We need to speak soon. ~ Bellatrix

My heart stops and quickly I place the letter under my pillow, Fleur comes over to me and reading out the newspaper in her clutch.

"17 year old Clementine aka Cleo Kingsworthy is this years Beauxbatons champion filled with spirit and determination. However she may just be a little too cocky for her own good as she openly said she would easily win this year. Also is this Beauxbaton Beauty too much of a bad girl rebel, she placed her name in the goblet even when her deceased mother and her headmistress begged her not to. She also goes against school code and keeps her hair purple! Does this overly-confident rule breaker deserve to win? Will she win? Let's keep track of this champion and while we are at it let's keep an eye on her and Durmstrang hottie and famous quidditch player, Viktor Krum; is their something going on?" Fleur reads the article about me. I bawl my hands into fists and glare at the picture of Rita skeeter that's beside the small picture of me and Viktor where he has he arm around my waist. This woman is gonna drive me insane.

"Bugger off Fleur" Rose tells her, Fleur goes off in a strop.
I remain on my bed where Rose joins me.

"I can't do this" I sigh,

"Yes you can" rose assures me.

"I mean all the interviews, photos, crap like that." I explain, facing her.

Rose assures me once again and I hug her and thank her. Tomorrow is the first challenge. Wish me luck.
