The Secret Life of Cherry Potter ( A Harry Potter fanfiction )

Chapter Four: Midnight stroll through the Forbidden Forest

We all shuffle down the hall towards the Grand Hall to learn who the champions for the Triwizard Tournament

will be. No anxiety about this runs through me, because Harry has made if clear he has no desire to be a

champion, and he wouldn't be able to get past the age line anyways. " Who do you think will be chosen ?"

Fred questions, as we all slide into seats. " Fleur Delacure, for my school. Victor Krum for Dumstrange, and I

don't know who will be chosen for Hogwarts. " I reply. " I agree with you expect Cedric Diggory will be chosen

for sure to support Hogwarts. " Yeah probably," I say as Dumbledore walks up to the goblet of fire. " Are we

ready to see who will be champions ? " Dumbledore calls, reaching his hand into the wispy flames. " The

champion for Beauxbaton is........Fleur Delacure !! " Dumbledore congratulates, as Fleur Delacure smiles

arrogantly and waves. " For Dumstrange...........Victor Krum !! " Victor Krum smiles slightly and waves his

muscular arm around. " And for Hogwarts...........Cedric Diggory !!!!!!!!" Dumbledore exclaims, above the noise

of the cheers. Dumbledore smiles, and begins to head back to his seat. The goblet of fire doesn't seem to be

finished announcing names though, it is still sputtering and producing flames. A single piece of parchment

mouth, raising my wand discreetly and letting red sparks fly from it. Before anyone can notice I hide my wand

in my boots,and watch as Fleur falls to the ground. " Fleur, Fleur !" Madam Maxime screams. I know this

curse won't kill her, just paralyze her for a brief period of time. Maybe six months max. Dumbledore rushes

over to the scene and gives me a brief glare. He knows I did this, but he won't tell a soul...hopefully. " What

happened ?" Dumbledore asks. " It looks as if she has collapsed ." Madam Maxime explains. " She hasn't

collapsed, she has been hit by a paralyze curse." Snape points out walking over behind Dumbledore. " What

?" Madam stutters, pulling her hands over her eyes. " It looks very well done, could last up to five or six

months." Snape states. " I recommend choosing another champion until she is better. " A smile flickers on the

corner of my face, but I try and compose myself. " Well, Cherry." Madam sobs. " Fleur would've wanted you to

take her place." I try to look upset and nod soberly. " If you wish I will try my hardest. " The crowd begins to

dissolve, after Fleur is taken to the hospital wing. I rejoin Hermoine and the others, and follow them back to

the common room. As soon as we get past the fat lady, I run upstairs and quickly scratch a letter onto some
