Chapter 6. The Goblet Picks The Names.
" Finally Draco. It's time to find out who the three champions will be." Says Pansy with excitement.
Pansy, Blaise and I are making our way to our seats in the Great Hall at the Slytherin table.
" I can't wait to find out as well. I hope someone good gets picked for the Hogwarts Champion." Says Blaise.
I nod. The Goblet stands in the middle of the room. Dumbledore right next to it.
Once everyone is in and sitting Dumbledore starts speaking.
" It is time for the three Champions of the Triwizard Tournament to be chosen by The Goblet of Fire. " says Dumbledore motioning to The Goblet of Fire.
" The three Champions will be competing for The Triwizard Cup." Says Dumbledore.
He motioned and the Triwizard Cup was shown.
" Eternal glory is what awaits for the Champion that wins these games. I wish luck to you all. " he says.
He then looked at the Goblet and starts walking around it slowly.
Just then the fire turns red and shrinks before it shoots out a piece of parchment.
Dumbledore caught it. He carefully read the name. " The Beauxbatons Champion is Fleur Delacour. "
Cheers rage out from the Beauxbatons Academy.
Fleur get up, grinning happily, and makes her way across the Great Hall and goes to the room where the Champions will stay for the moment.
Dumbledore looks back at the Goblet as the fire turns red again.
It the shoots out another piece of parchment containing the name of another champion.
Dumbledore catches this one. He the. Carefully reads this name as well.
" The Durmstrang Champion. Victor Krum. " says Dumbledore.
Cheers rang out from Durmstrang. " Called it." I say.
Pansy and Blaise snickered. " That was quite obvious Draco." Says Pansy.
I smirk. Victor gets up from his seat, smirking as he makes his way to where Fleur went.
" Now for the Hogwarts Champion." Says Blaise.
" I know, I can't wait to see who it's gonna be." Says Pansy.
" I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited as well." I say.
Pansy puts her hand in my shoulder. Blaise smirks.
The Goblet then turns red again. It shoots out the last piece of parchment.
Dumbledore catches it and reads the names carefully like he did the others.
He looked at the guy from the Ministry. Barty walked up and read the name.
They were whispering. I looked at Pansy and Blaise. They just shrug.
Then Dumbledore looks out to the Slytherin table, searching till his eyes landed on someone. Me.
" The Hogwarts Champion. Draco Malfoy. " says Dumbledore.
My face pales at that. I didn't put my name in the Goblet. What the heck? This doesn't make sense.
Pansy and Blaise look from Dumbledore to me.
I look at the teachers and spot my Godfather. He nods for me to go.
" I'll see you soon guys." I say.
I clear any fear that was on my face away before I get up and slowly make my way over to Dumbledore.
He watches as I walk back and to the room where the others went.
I stop at the entrance though. " There, we have our three Champions. Now...."
Dumbledore stops talking though. I look and see the fire is red again in the Goblet.
Another piece of parchment shoots out. Dumbledore catches it and seconds later he calls a name.
" Harry Potter. " a few seconds pass. " HARRY POTTER!!" He yells.
Potter gets up after the muggle born pushes him forward.
That idiot. I bet he put his name in to get more glory, I bet he also put mine in as revenge for threatening him like I did.
He's going to pay for this. I make my way to where the other two champions are before Potter makes his way in.
The second he's in the room I rush forward and grab the front of his robe.
I pull him forward. " You put my name in that Goblet to get revenge on me and put your own name in for more glory and attention. Your going to pay for this." I spat.
Potter gets angry and smacks my arm away from him hard.
" I didn't put my name in that cup. I don't want eternal glory. I also wouldn't out your name in as revenge. Besides, what do I have to get revenge on you for?" Says Potter.
" For threatening you the other day." I say.
" First of all, You threaten me all the time. Secondly, I don't seek revenge. I'm not rude like that. " says Potter.
" Then if you didn't put my name in, who did?" I say.
Just before he could answer teachers ran in.
Then just like I attacked Potter. We were slammed into some glass cabinets by the teacher.
" Did you two do it?" Says Dumbledore.
" No..." We say, but we're interrupted.
" Did you get someone to put your names in for you?" Says Dumbledore.
" No Sir." We say.
" Did you or did you not put your name in that cup?" He says.
" No Sir." We say again. A few seconds later he lets go and were left standing there.
" Two fourth years in the Triwizard Tournament. This cannot be." Says Professor McGonagall.
" Perhaps they did this on purpose." Spat Igor.
" It takes really powerful magic to force their names into the Goblet of Fire. " says Moody.
Igor walks up to him. " You seem to have put a lot of thought into this Mad-Eye!" He spat.
" It was once my job to think as dark wizards do Karkaroff. Perhaps you remember that. " says Moody.
Dumbledore quieted them. He then looked at Barty.
" Is there anything we can do Barty?" Asks Dumbledore.
" No. The rules of the Goblet are absolute. The two boys must compete. From this moment forth. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are Triwizard Champions. " says Barty. Turning to face them.
The room goes quiet and all eyes go on us. Crap, can this day get any worse?
