Chapter One- I have Terrible Luck
"The Durmstrang Champion is Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore says. Krum stands up from the group of Durmstrang students at the Slytherin table, and walks into the champions room. "From Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour." The blonde girl stands up from the seat next to me. "From Hogwarts, Carina Malfoy." My face drops as whispers start turning to shouts from the Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor tables. "Go on." Emily whispers. "That's you, in case you forgot."
I walk over into the champions room. "What's going on?" Krum asks. They think I'm a messenger. "I'm the Hogwarts champion." I shrug, trying to act calm. Harry Potter walks in. "What is it?" Fleur asks. The professors follow him in. "Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbledore asks. Harry shakes his head. "Carina, did you?" He asks me. "No, why would I do that?" I reply coolly. "They simply cannot compete!" Madam Maxime exclaims. "The rules are absolute. Harry Potter and Carina Malfoy must compete." Barty Crouch says. He turns to us. "The first task will take place November 24th in the afternoon. You are not allowed to accept help, or ask for help." I have a distinct feeling that this is not going to be a good year.
