Prologue
A/N
I do not own any of the characters, they belong to our beloved J.K. Rowling who created this fantastic HP universe for us.
( I will also be using the script from when Dumbledore pulls the names out of the goblet of Fire for the dialogue, the dialogue for this part DOES NOT belong to me. The rest is OG.
Also This fic does contain curse words and ( possible future ) sexual references but ahh well. Enjoy
Sorry for any typos-- maybe it's 2 am and maybe I haven't slept in like 36 hours plus I'm a horrible writer so bear with me.
Anyways
Lots of love ~ Bella
" Sit down please. And now the moment you've all been waiting for, the champions selection!"
Hermione's warm brown eyes followed Dumbledore as he approached the azure flames. She stared intently as the fire turned into shades of orange and the first slip of paper shot out of the goblet. She could sense the anxiety her classmates were feeling, and couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go terribly wrong.
" And the Durmstrang Champion is...Viktor Krum!", the old wizard smiled as the Durmstrang boys cheered and patted their friend on the back. Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes as Lavender Brown and the rest of the Gryffindor girls squealed at the mention of the Bulgarian boy's name.
She focused her attention back towards the cup as Another name came out.
" The champion from Beauxbatons...Fleur Delacour", Dumbledore walks back toward the cup as the Beauxbatons girls gracefully cheered for the beautiful blonde witch as she walked up to stand beside Viktor.
Hermione's apprehension began to grow
so she decided to brush the invisible dust off of her skirt, a thing she normally did when she felt nervous about something, before looking back up at the center of the room as another name was pulled from the cup.
"The Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory", Dumbledore smiled softly once again when the Hogwarts students cheered as Cedric walked toward Fleur and Viktor. Hermione looked back toward the goblet. She knew something was going to happen.
Her spine began to tingle.
" Excellent! we now have our three champions! But in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this vessel of
victory the tri-wizard cup!", Dumbledore said as he proceeded to walk away from the flaming chalice-like object.
Hermione let out a sigh of relief and looked around the room. She noticed Draco Malfoy standing in the corner with Pansy Parkinson, looking rather annoyed at his fellow Slytherin's attempts at flattery. As she continued to stare at them, he looked up. Molten Grey eyes briefly met chocolate brown, before Hermione blushed and looked down at her skirt again.
People continued to cheer for the champions, but the goblet's fire glowed orange before it quickly shot out 5 slips of paper.
Everyone stopped talking.
Dumbledore picked up the pieces of paper and opened the first one. The happiness from not too long ago was replaced by a dark emotion, one that Hermione couldn't comprehend. She knew this would happen.
"Harry Potter. Harry Potter?", the headmaster looked up sharply. Hermione snapped her gaze over to her best friend, who was sitting incredibly still starting at their professor. She barely heard Hagrid's cries of disbelief. How was this possible? She knew Harry simply wasn't strong
enough to--
"HARRY POTTER", Dumbledore yelled.
" Go on Harry.." Hermione said, he still didn't move. " HARRY FOR GOODNESS SAKE. " she continued, Hermione watched as he slowly got up and walked over to Dumbledore. Everyone started to speak at once.
" QUIET" Dumbledore yelled, everyone stops talking again. " There are still 4 other papers in my hand". His face was grave as he began to open the other slips of paper.
His hands Shaking ever so slightly.
" Elöise Dejarnette..beauxbatons," he said. Hermione looked over to see a beautiful girl walk up to the stage as her friends politely cheered for her. She had long straight raven black hair and blue eyes, while caramel freckles adorned her cheeks and nose. Hermione couldn't help but feel a pang of envy for elöise. She wasn't one to pay attention to how she looked but she did get jealous from time to time.
She looked back over at Dumbledore as he opened another slip of paper.
"from Durmstrang...Dimitar Adonov", He looked over. Igor Karkaroff, their headmaster, clearly wasn't pleased.
Hermione noticed a Handsome 7th-year walk up to the stage, he had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and nice freckles on his left cheek. She blushed when he looked over at her, before quickly focusing her attention back on the two slips of paper.
As Dumbledore opened the next slip of paper he paused, looking slightly panicked.
" Hogwarts...Draco Malfoy" he said. Hermione's head snapped up as students and teachers began to whisper to each other. She watched as he froze, his face growing pale, before walking up to stand next to Dumbledore.
" what the bloody hell is going on Hermione" Ron whispered to her, he had just walked in the room seeing as he had detention for not doing his potions homework the other day." Why is Harry up there???"
" I don't know Ron" she whispered back, trying to hold back tears. This was one of the most dangerous tournaments in history, and her best friend was going to be in it. She stared at Dumbledore as he hesitated to read the last paper. It took 2 minutes of utter silence before he opened the slip. His eyes were sad as he read the name on the paper and prepared to read it out loud. He looked up and around the room before his gaze landed on Hermione. Her heart stopped.
Professor Dumbledore shook his head sadly as he read the name out loud.
" Hogwarts Champion...Hermione Granger "
