I don't own Harry Potter

Chapter 1

Headmaster Dumbledore spoke again:

"And finally Hogwarts Champion is…"

Once again after picking Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Viktor Krum from Durmstrang Institute, Goblet of Fire lit up and spit the name.

"Cedric Diggory"

There was deafening applause and scream coming from Hufflepuff table. From other three clapping was quieter but still enthusiastic. Cedric got up and quickly made his way toward other champions. After disappearing behind closed doors it took couple minutes before great hall was quiet once again.

"That concludes today event. Congratulation to all picked champions" said Headmaster. As he step down from the podium Goblet lit once again, but this time something different was happening. It look like it was struggling, like it wanted to spit the name of another champion and bind him with magical contract it look as said person or his magic was trying to fight it.

Goblet of Fire was highly magical item, its origins were not truly known, people knew it was really old artefact mainly used in previous competition and that was all the knowledge there was about it. One thing artifact did was creating magic binding contract with champions, if said contract was broken which in this case was refusing to participate in designated events, champion would lose his magic. Another feature contract created between champion and Goblet was semi strong compulsion charm to dishearten any thought of not participating. And that's what happen with current free champions. Now Goblet was struggling. Headmaster was curious what was happening and looking for a way to shield his students, his pupils and those from other school in case it exploded. Other staff member were as clueless as Chief Warlock, their leader, their Headmaster. Students were scared, everyone was looking at said artefact with fear in their eyes except one person, one boy. One very special boy. Said boy knew he was screwed, he knew his magic wasn't strong enough to fight this ancient object. Nonetheless he tried, it cost him great deal of magic before he gave up but after he did Goblet spit yet another champion name. At exactly the same time as Dumbledore caught another piece of paper artefact fire went off. Entire Hall was quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Almost everyone was holding their breath in anticipation who was picked and why.

Dumbledore looked at the piece of paper and after reading name that was written felt fear. He really loved teaching, he loved his staff, his students present and past, he always tried his best to help everyone that needed it. Of course he was a powerful wizard. One of the strongest but yet he was a one man. A very old man he was 113 years old. It was true that most wizards and witches lived longer due their magic yet still after a years of wars and fighting with first Grindelwald and later Voldemort, he was old tired man, tired of fighting. Harry Potter, the name that was of chosen champion. Dumbledore since he met him in his first year really liked this boy, he often treated him as his grandson. Tried to guide him when needed, help him when necessary. Cheer him when sad and on occasion even scold him when wrong. He knew the boy would be a great wizard if he lived. This was dangerous tournament, and Harry had to compete. There was nothing he can do for him now, Judges and teachers made oaths to not help champions with their tasks, and judge them fairy. Yet he could nothing for the boy. He really hoped Harry would make it through alive and hopefully unscathed. Pushing those thoughts aside he said "Harry Potter"

Great Hall was quiet, everyone waited for and looked at Harry to do something. Yet Harry was deep in thoughts. Yet another year when he is in danger, It will be probably another year like his second and all Heir of Slytherin fiasco. He was thinking about his abilities. He knew Triwizard Tournament now with four champions was dangerous. He knew people died in it before. Yet he wasn't scared, he knew if he showed his real face, his real abilities, his real potential, he would win. Hat wanted to put him into Slytherin yet he picked Gryffindor. He wanted to feel some connection with his parents. That doesn't mean he isnt strong or smart. He was both. He hid his abilities at first to fit in, it obviously worked, his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger never noticed he was dumbing himself down. He sometimes felt guilty for lying to his best friends but he never found "right" time to confess, to tell them. He promised himself that now is the time. He knew his pick was because of Voldemort. There were few options, he wanted to kill or capture him in this tournament, his followers wanted to kill or capture him. There was another brief thought, Headmaster wanted to test him further. He always believed his first year was a test. Traps were laughable and if it weren't for Hermione and Ron he would blitz through them without a problem. One could thing after his second and third year with basilisk and Azkaban escapist Sirius Black now was the time to test him further. Someone was going to see if he was worth moniker of boy-who-lived or it was a fluke. No it couldn't be headmaster, he truly believed in the man. He hoped he wouldn't do this to him. He needed to talk to him. Pushing thought of headmaster orchestrating his pick in this tournament he thought about summer and Quidditch World Cup. There was a Death Eater attack. They were getting more courageous each year. He had no doubt that it was linked with his pick. His thought were interrupted with Dumbledore clearing his throat and speaking again but louder his name "Harry Potter"

Finally opening his eyes he looked around, he noticed Ron jealous eyes, he needs to talk to him later. Hermione wasn't looking at him but he knew she would believe him. Getting up and going after other champions he looked around, many people were jealous, most of his house looked at him with hate in their eyes. Hufflepuffs aren't better, it was their year for glory, finally after years their had their champion, someone to represent them and almost all of them thought Potter was trying steal their fame. Ravenclaw was indifferent, they really didn't care except few. Slytherin thought, house rivalry aside they looked livid, most of them hated Gryffindors and now one of their rivals was picked in tournament almost all students wanted to compete. Quickly making his way to champions room he quietly stepped in and all eyes turn to him.

Fleur Delacour asked if they wanted them back he shrugged. He opened his mouth to say hi was another champion but was interrupted by Ludo Bagman who happily announced:

"Incredible, ladies and gentleman fourth champion, Harry Potter!"

"He can't compete, he's to young and little" said french witch

Before anyone could say anything more Dumbledore asked.

"Harry did you enter your name?"

"No Sir"

"Did you asked someone to put your name in your place"

"No Sir"

"It's obvious the brat is lying, he is the same as his father spoiled and attention seeking brat" said Snape.

Deciding now is the time and obviously ignoring Hogwarts Potion Professor Harry turned to Headmaster: "Professor i need to speak with you after this meeting"

"Of course Harry, come to my office later"

Harry nodded and went back to his thought of what to do. Pulling up his Occlumency shields looked around. It looked like French and German headmasters where livid about his pick as were Fleur and Viktor. Cedric looked like he wanted to hear his side first. Good he thought, maybe he will have one ally in this upcoming disaster. Snape was smirking and looking happy about something. After couple minutes he heard Lugo Bagman announcing happily: "Champions on 17th of November we will be holding Wand Weighing Ceremony and then on 24th there will be first task" saying that he got up and left. Harry followed after him leaving other people to their yelling. When he left someone grabbed him by the shoulder, after turning around he saw Cedric

"Why did you enter and how?"

"I didn't, I promise you i did not enter"

"So how your name came up"

"I really don't know"

Cedric nodded and left. Letting out a sigh he left for Gryffindor common room.

Seconds after entering he heard Ron:"WHY AND HOW DID YOU ENTER? AREN'T I GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO TELL ME? WHY AFTER THREE YEARS YOU DON'T TRUST ME?"

Pinching his nose he calmly answered: "I didn't enter my name, someone else did, Dumbledore said someone must have confounded the Goblet"

He could say anything right now and no one would believe him. "Hermione please tell me at least you believe me, you are my friend, both of you are, you know me, please"

He tried once again sounding really desperate. Hermione just shook her head and left to girls dormitory. That hurt him his best friend one person that always stood by him now didn't believe him. Didn't trust him enough to believe him. Looking around he found that noone, not a single person in all Gryffindor believed him, family my ass he thought thinking of McGonagall worlds about her lions. Letting sigh go he left Gryffindor common room for a long talk with headmaster.

A/N

If something isn't mentioned or changed its as cannon, i don't know what pairings will be yet, haven't thought about that. I have some ideas. If you have any suggestions or see any mistakes(english is not my native language so there will be plenty of those unfortunately) please comment, its my first fanfiction i know it's far from perfect and it will hopefully get better with time. I will try to avoid copy/pasting dialogs from original book that's why there wasn't much in first chapter.

I had this idea about possible HP story in my head for a while, i won't share it yet but i did not saw it in other fics so i think it will be somewhat original.

There will be romance and possible multiple pairing but max two people with Harry, no more! He may have couple dates with few girls now and then but it will definitely end with one, max two girls. There won't be any slash, it's not my thing i don't like it i avoid stories with it and if it's your thing that's ok, just don't expect it here.

I will try update as often as possible but i will try to make chapters longer (hopefully 5-10k words per chapter) so expect at least one update a week(possibly more especially now until new year since i got all the time in the world)
