-HALLOWEEN NIGHT-
The Great Hall was full of talk. There were no classes. All day everyone was either in the Great Hall or in the common rooms. It was Halloween night and the choosing of the champions was that night. Dinner finishes and everyone quiet down. The flames turn red and shoot out a piece of parchment. Harry grabs the paper. "From Dumstrang, the champion is Maxim Krum." Everyone claps. Maxim walks up and shakes hands with Harry and goes to a chamber of the side of the Hall. The flames go red again and shoot out another piece of parchment. "The champion from Beaubaxton is Gabrielle Emmanuelle." A small girl with silvery hair runs up. She shakes hands with Harry and runs to the side chamber. The flames go red one more time. The last piece of parchment shoots out. "The Hogwarts champion is Jaimee Fletcher." A girl from the Ravenclaw table stands up. She shakes hands and goes to the side chamber. "Congratulations to our three champions. They will represent..." Harry trails off. Everyone is looking at the goblet again. It's flames have turned red again. One more piece of parchment shoots out. Harry slowly grabs it. Thoughts are going through his head. "Oh no. Not again. Not again." He reads the name on the parchment. "Weinstein, Kayla." The hall is quiet. Abby and Frank push Kayla forward. She shakily gets up from the Gryffindor table and goes up to Harry. He hands her the parchment and mouthed I'm sorry. She leaves to the side chamber. She glances over her shoulder at her friends. They smile and nod for her to go on. She takes a deep breath and goes inside. "Do they want us back out there?" Gabrielle asks. Kayla shakes her head no. The door flies open and in comes very angry adults. Harry pushes her up against a wall. "Did you or did you not put your name into the goblet?" "I didn't." "Did you ask someone else or another student to do it for you?" "I didn't. I don't even want to be in this." "She is telling the truth." Harry says. "Last time this happened, my defense teacher was an impostor and put my name in. There is no one here who would do that. Draco, what can we do?" "Well, she has to compete. When your name come out of the goblet it's a magical binding contract. The result if you don't is very painful. I'm sorry." "How could this happen? I made sure this couldn't. Someone with powerful magic is the only way how this happened." Harry shouts. Kayla is cowering behind a shelf. "We will give you your instructions tomorrow. Good night." Kingsley says. Maxim and Gabrielle are escorted put by their heads. Kayla and Jaimee walk out together. "Well good night Jaimee." Kayla says. "Good night Kayla and by the way, I believe you. Good luck." Jaimee says. They part ways. "Butterbeer." Kayla says to the portrait of the fat lady. When it opens, she is hit with noise. She is pulled inside. "Congrats Kay." "Good job." You rock." "How did you do it?" "I didn't." Kayla is pulled through the crowd. She spots Frank and Abby. She signals to them to meet her upstairs. They go up. Kayla sits on Frank's bed. "Do you guys believe me that I didn't put my name in?" She asks. Frank and Abby shake their heads yes. Kayla sighs. The party went on till one in the morning. By then, Kayla, Frank, and Abby fell asleep on Frank's bed.
