HARRY POTTER - AU TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT

CHAPTER 6

The article in the Daily Prophet that day was entertaining. It was clear that Skeeter was frustrated she couldn't make him agree for an interview. Though the article consisted of the three champions' photos, the article mainly focused on the two sentences he said and included other only in the last three lines.

Harry Potter- The fourth Champion.

We all know that the ancient Tournament has been reinstated this year, the competition between the three schools, Drumstrang, Beauxbatons and Hogwarts. My dear readers, you will be amazed when I tell you that there are not one champion each for a school as it is a tradition but a fourth champion was selected by the legendary Goblet Of Fire for Hogwarts. The fourth Champion being none other than the Boy-who-lived, Harry Potter.

I have asked and requested him earnestly to give me an interview and clear up a few of the questions my readers have but he refused. The boy-who-lived attended the Wand weighing ceremony yesterday. He was the last Champion to enter the room. Harry Potter's wand was revealed to be made of Holly wood and Phoenix feather core.

Harry Potter is the youngest Champion, aged, thirteen. He himself said that he would have to study hard just to stay alive. According to the school records, he is but an average student at best.

How would the Saviour save us when he couldn't even save himself?

Cedric Diggory was the other student selected as Hogwarts representative and Champion in this Tournament. Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum, world famous Quidditch Seeker are the other Champions selected by the Goblet for Beauxbatons and Drumstrang Schools.

Rita Skeeter

Harry scoffed at the article and threw the paper away. That was atrocious. He couldn't care less if she called him a brat out right. But he would read any other articles. What she wrote always held a grain of truth and not all lies.

Sirius told him to ignore everything else and concentrate on the dragons when he told him what the first task was. He was amazed and enraged when he was told. On a nice day, it would take at least ten to fifteen men to subdue a single dragon and they were expected to perform a task related to them alone.

Sirius told him that he would go to Grimmauld Place by the time his first task was over as he had some business to settle and things to take care of before that. He would send Harry the Animagus books after his move.

Today Harry decided to sit near the Lake and enjoy the weather before the lake froze. He sat with his sketch pad and several pens and pencils. He wanted to relax and draw before he dove into yet another book on dragons for his strategy.

"Harrykins-"

"What are you doing here-"

"This fine evening?" He looked up to find the twins staring at him with identical grins on their faces.

"I am enjoying the weather." Harry said evasively.

"We believe you Harry."

"Yes, we do. But the whole house is against us." the left side twin said.

"We are curbing all of the most vicious pranks they are planning for you though." The right one added.

"And the others pranks they think of don't seem to work or they don't  have a way to execute them."

"It's okay guys. I have someone taking care of my food and things. That's the reason they are not able to do anything." harry answered.

We are sorry that we didn't approach you until now, Harry. We couldn't find you." The right twin said. "But we have most of the Gryffindor team is on our side and they are helping us with controlling the house."
