Chapter 1

Harry sat at the Gryffindor table in disbelief thinking that I did not just hear the headmaster say my name. The headmaster said Harry's name again and still harry did nothing. It took Hermione pushing him to finally get a reaction, as he finally look towards the headmaster standing in front of the head table he was asked once again to join the other champions.

As Harry stood up he asked the headmaster "why?"

Professor Dumbledore looked slightly shock that Harry would question him, but stated none the less that since he name was drawn he was entered into a magical contract to compete.

Harry once again asked "why?" because if the goblet had an age restriction and as the headmaster stated with no around it. How was his name entered?

Soon as Harry stated this the rest of the professor looked slightly panicked and thoughtful well all but Snape. Professor Dumbledore insisted while that may be the case Harry still had to compete as it was his name that came out.

Harry just continued to stare blanking at the headmaster and then proceed to look around the Great Hall. Seeing all the looks of anger coming from the Hufflepuff table that Harry had stolen their champions shine. And the looks of indifference coming from the other tables including his own.

He calmly raised his want and stated "I hereby swear on my life and magic I Harry James Potter did not enter myself or pay someone to enter myself into the Triwizard Tournament." Harry glowed brightly for a few seconds as the oath took.

The Great Hall where all on the edge of their seats as they waited to see if The Boy Who Lived still had his magic.

"Lumos" Harry whispered and a bright light shot out from the tip of his wand.

The students and facility had to cover their eyes until Harry cancelled the spell. No one knew what to do or say to that but everyone had one question running through their minds "Who wants to kill Harry Potter?"

Finally looking at his two best friends Harry saw the relief/proud look on Hermione face and the jealousy on Ron. Dismissing Ron right then and there he looked towards the headmaster once again.

Giving him a look of disappointment Harry turned to leave. As he did so he stated "I wish I could have one year without someone trying to kill me, and the staff allowing it to continuously happen." With that said he walked out without so much as a backward glance.

Hermione was out her seat and running after him.

The rest of the hall turned their eyes to Ron wondering why hw was not going after his best friends.

Realizing that he was not the center of attention Ron stated that "Harry was just grabbing the attention for himself and that as his best friend he should have told him how to put his name as well."

"YOU BLOODY IDIOT ARE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW" yelled Ginny.

"YOUR BLOODY BEST FRIEND PROVED HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PUTTING HIS NAME IN THE GOBLET AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS THAT HE GRABBING ALL THE BLOODY ATTENTION FOR HIMSELF INSTEAD OF SHOWING YOU HOW HE PUT HIS NAME IN THE GOBLET!" She continued to yell face as red as her hair. As she started to sit back down she stated "I'm ashamed to call you a Weasley".

Ron's faced continued to turn red but before he could say something the twins had their wands in his face daring him to say one more thing.

Ron just put his head down.

"I believe now would be a good time to end the feast and I would like all student to return to their respective dorms "stated Dumbledore.

As the students left the Great Hall he turned toward the staff.

"I would like to hold a staff meeting in the morning after breakfast."

Once getting nobs of approval he turned and walked out the Great Hall shortly followed by the rest of the professors.

Only one remained seated greatly worried about her young cub. As she stood up to leave she wondered "just how much this was going to affect young master potter's life."

No one knew this was going to be the answers to Harry's prayers and the downfall of everyone's control of him. The wizarding world had just given Harry Potter his freedom.
