Chapter 46
Now Cortney was sitting in the common room, she was doing her homework at a table. She was doing her homework with Teddy.
" Hey darling," Teddy said looking up from his work.
" Yes honey," Cortney said looking up from her work.
" I can't go down to where the Goblet of Fire is like we said we were going to do, I promised Blaise that I would go to the library with him," Teddy said.
" That's alright I'll just go with Kierra, " Cortney said.
" Thanks, babe," he said as he kissed the side of her head. A small smile grew on her face. Later on, Cortney was in the dorm with Kierra.
" Ready? " Cortney asked.
"Let's go," Kierra confirmed. On their way to the Great Hall, they saw that it was raining outside.
" This kind of puts a damper on things," Kierra mentioned.
" It sure does," Cortney agreed. When they entered the Great hall they saw Ron and Harry walking around the fire. Cortney and Kierra went up to observe it. They passed Neville who was reading a book about Herbology.
" Would you put your name in it? " Cortney asked.
" Probably not, I'd like to keep the skin on my arms," Kierra said. Cortney laughed. " I think you should when you get the chance when you are old enough".
" Ha ! No! " Cortney confirmed. In the distance was a group of boys laughing, and shoving one guy towards the goblet. It was Cedric Diggory one of the hottest guys at Hogwarts. Cortney and Kierra gave each other the look and watch Cedric put his name in the fire. He smiled at them and went back to his group of friends.
" He is so hot," breathed Kierra. Cortney playfully fanned her with her hands.
" YEAH ! " shouted the Weasley twins busting into the scene. People began cheering for them.
" Well lads, we've done it ! " said George
" Cooked it up this morning ! " added Fred
" It's not going to work," Hermione sang. They went on either side of her.
" Why is that Granger ? " asked Fred
" You see this? " Hermione said pointing to the bluish circle that surrounded the Goblet. " This an age line Dumbledore drew it himself".
" So ? " asked George. Hermione sighed and snapped her book shut.
" So, a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by draught as pathetically dimwitted as an aging potion," she explained.
" oh but that's why it's so brilliant," began George
" Because it's so pathetically dimwitted," finished Fred. They stood up laughing, shaking the potion.
" Ready Fred? " George asked.
" Ready George," Fred answer. They hooked arms.
" Bottoms up," they coursed. They drank the potion and jumped over the aging line.
" YEAH ! " the two shouted as everyone cheered. They put their names in the Goblet of Fire. Everyone cheered even more as the twins clapped and smiled. Suddenly they were thrown back by a circle of blue flames emerging from the cup. The two redheads landed on the other side of the room. Everyone ran over to the,,. to see the two with gray hair and graybeards.
" You said! " George accused.
" You said! " Fred accused. George tackled Fred and the two began to fight. Everyone around them cheering FIGHT! FIGHT! It got quiet Hermione just sat down and read her book again. It got all quiet the Viktor Krum walked. Everyone watched ad he dropped his name in the Fire. Before he walked out he stared at Hermione, a pink rose on her cheeks. Cortney and Kierra retreated to a corner of the room. All of a sudden Pansy ran into the room, scan the room, and ran over to them.
" I need to complain," Pansy hissed.
" Let it out of your system crabby pants," Kierra advised.
" Okay, so this group of Beaxbaton girls is just plain rude. They are making me look like the people I pick her," Pansy ranted.
" This one girl Elena is pretty snippy," Cortney said backing Pansy up.
" I know right, I want to make them feel welcome, but they are just ugh," Kierra agreed. Cortney looked over and saw Milan, De'lexi, and Joesph talking. Cortney walked over to them.
" Hey," Cortney greeted.
" Hey," they greeted.
" This is a pretty exciting time," Milan said with hands in his pockets.
" Have you guys made friends with any of the other people from the other schools? " Joey asked.
" I'm working on it," said De'lexi. " So do you think Viktor Krum will get in ?"
" Ya, " Cortney said.
" Why did you react that way in class the other day with the spider? " Milan asked Cortney.
" The sound was awful, it made everyone tense, it bothered Neville really bad, someone had to say something," Cortney explained.
" I'm glad you did," Joey said patting her back.

Everyone was now gathered in the Great Hall for the names being selected by the fire. Cortney sat in between Pansy and Teddy. He had his arm around her waist.
" Sit down, please," ordered Dumbledore. " Now the moment you've all been waiting for... the selection of the champion! " The Goblet of Fire dimmed and turned red before shooting out a piece of paper. Dumbledore caught it and read the paper. " The Durmstrang champion is...Viktor Krum! " Everyone cheered and clapped for him ad Viktor walked towards Dumbledore, nodded at him, and went into another room. The fire went a dim red again and shout out another piece of paper. " The Beaxbatons champion is...Fleur Delacour! " People cheered as Fleur went into the other room. The fire turned red and shot out the last name. " The Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory! " Everyone cheered as Cedric the beautiful Hufflepuff joined the other champions. " Excellent! Now we have our three champions! But in the end, only one will go down in history! Only one will hoist this challas of champions! This victory! This Triwizard Cup! " They cheered, that soon stooped when Snape stepped forward. The Goblet glowed a bright red and shot out the fourth piece of paper. Dumbledore caught it cautiously. " Harry Potter". Everyone turned to look at Harry, as he tried to hide as if he doesn't exist. " Harry Potter ? " He didn't move. " Harry Potter ! "Hermione shoved him away and he started down towards Dumbledore with all eyes on him.
" He's a cheat! He's not even old enough ! " shouted a student. Dumbeldore handed him the paper. Harry looked into Dumbledore's eyes and Dumbledore knew that Harry had no idea how this happened. Harry disappeared into the other room with the other champions.
