Chapter 4. Putting The Names In.
We are finally done with classes and are sitting in the room where The Goblet of Fire had been put.
Pansy, Blaise and I are sitting on some chairs watching as other people, who are able to, put their name in the Goblet.
I spot Potter, his muggle friend and that Weasley boy.
The muggle born was reading. Weasley and Potter were watching the people put their names in.
" So who do you think will end up being the Hogwarts Champion? " says Pansy.
" I don't really care. As long as this person can face these tasks and win this thing for Hogwarts, I'm fine with anyone." I say.
" Yeah, well I hope the Hogwarts Champion is a Slytherin. " says Blaise. I smirk.
" That would be cool." I say.
Then a few girls walked forward from the Beauxbatons Academy.
Some stayed back while one girl walked forward and put her piece a parchment with her name written on it into the Goblet, earning her cheers.
She then walked away with the others. " So we've seen a bunch of people from Hogwarts put their names in so far. " says Pansy.
" Plus a lot of people from these others schools." Says Blaise.
" To me, no one seems like they'd be good enough to make it through these tasks. " I says.
" Well I guess we'll..." She stopped in the middle of her sentence when a few people walked forward and shoved one towards the Goblet.
It was Cedric Diggory. They were cheering him on. He grinned and put his piece of parchment with his name on it into the Goblet.
The people burst into cheers and he left with them.
" Well if I had to pick someone for Hogwarts out of anyone that's put their name on so far, I'd pick him." Says Pansy.
We just nodded along. He'd probably be the only decent fighter.
A few seconds later loud cheers were heard as the Weasley twins ran in.
" WE DID IT!!" They yelled.
Great what did they come up with this time?
Then they were saying something about coming up with an aging potion.
Then Potter's muggle born friend closed her book. " It's not going to work." She said.
The Weasley twins sat around her. " Yeah and why not?" Says one of them.
" You see this, this is an age line?" She says motioning to the blue line circling the Goblet.
" So?" One asked.
She scoffed. " This age line was drawn by Dumbledore himself. Someone as smart and powerful as Dumbledore wouldn't be tricked by sorting as stupid as and aging potion." Says the muggle born.
They laughed. " Well it's worth a shot." One of them said.
They got up and got ready. " Bottoms up." They both said before drinking the potions.
Then together they jumped into the circle. It didn't do anything so they started cheering and put their names into the Goblet.
However, seconds later it seemed like the Goblet exploded and the Weasley twins were sent flying out of the circle.
They hit the ground and got up. They grew older and their hair turned white, or grey. They grew beards as well.
Then they started fighting. People all throughout the room started chanting fight.
I snickered along with Pansy and Blaise.
" Should have listened to her." Says Pansy.
The muggle born had rolled her eyes, smiled, then started reading again.
Suddenly the doors slammed open and everyone went silent.
Victor Krum walked in. He walked straight through the age line, dropped the piece of parchment with his name on it right into the Goblet before turning and making eyes contact with Potter's muggle born friend before finally leaving.
" Oh looks like the muggle born has an admirer." Says Blaise with a smirk.
I just nodded. I had nothing else to say.
We watched this for a while longer. I even saw those two boys from Durmstrang that almost killed us.
I could swear they had tried to make eyes context with me before putting their names in the Goblet, then leaving.
It was so weird, but oh well. It's not like they can do anything.
Soon after we watched a while longer it was time for dinner in the Great Hall.
Just before the plates and bowls in the middle of the table filled with food, Dumbledore got up to say a few things.
He made a few sorta important announcements, before the one that was important.
" At the end of this week the names of the three champions will be announced, given to us by The Goblet of Fire itself. " says Dumbledore.
There were a few cheers and ok's from the crowd before he announced it was time to eat.
The plates and bowls filled with food or amy kind.
We got food on our plates before we all started eating and talking.
" So who do you think will be the Hogwarts champion?" Says Pansy.
" I hate to say it, but out of every Hogwarts student that put their name in today, the only one that seems like he could make it through the tasks without dying at the first would be Cedric Diggory." I say.
They look a bit shocked by my answer. However they think about it before nodding along.
Soon everyone was done eating and we made our way to our houses.
Only this time there was no people trying to attack us.
Soon we were back in Slytherin house and were sitting down.
After a while of talking we went to our rooms, getting ready for what was to come tomorrow.
