Chapter 3 - chosen champions

At breakfast the next day, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked into the great hall a little surprised to find Fred and George already there and waiting for Dumbledore to speak.

"you two are never here before us" said Ron surprised.

"well maybe we got up before you three" said Fred.

"Good morning students, today we will be announcing the four Triwizard champions" Dumbledore's voice boomed around the hall.

"oh so that's why you two were here early" whispered Hermione.

The goblet appeared at the front of the great hall and Dumbledore whispered a incantation and there was a red puff of smoke and a piece of parchment landed in Dumbledore's hand.

"the first triwizard champion is… DRACO MALFOY"

whispers filled The hall as Draco stood up and walked into the trophy room.

"Malfoy, why him?, I hope he dies in the first task" Whispered Ron.

"Ron that's a horrible thing to say, even if it is malfoy" snapped Hermione.

Dumbledore voice carried around the hall again.

"the second triwizard champion is… CHO CHANG"

This time there was claps and cheers coming from the ravenclaw table as Cho walked into the trophy room.

"The third triwizard champion is… FRED WEASLEY"

"well done mate" said George as Fred stood up.

"love you too Hermione" said Fred smirking.

As Fred walked into the trophy room the whole Gryffindor table cheered, mostly George, except Hermione she looked as if she was going to scream.

"I have the feeling you were thinking he wasn't going to get in" said George looking amused.

"what would give you that idea" muttered Hermione.

" and the last triwizard champion is… HARRY POTTER"

"ok is it me or are none of them seventeen" asks Ron.

"I didn't know Harry put his name in" said George.

"he didn't" answered Hermione worried.

Harry stands up as white as snow and walks through the trophy room.

"ok, so we know Fred put his own name Into the goblet but what about the rest." said Hermione.

In the trophy room Draco was sitting by the fire, Cho was doing her hair in her reflection in a trophy and Fred was looking at her laughing.

"Harry, I'm so glad you're a champion too " said Fred relieved.

"why?" asks Harry.

"so I don't have to put up with these freaks alone" said Fred amused.

They laughed but suddenly they heard loud footsteps coming from the stairs and saw Dumbledore looking furious.

"Harry did you put you name in the goblet?" Said Dumbledore.

"n-n-no" stuttered Harry.

"Fred, did you?"

"umm, kind of" said Fred closing his eyes and waiting for shouting.

"that's not a surprise"

"hey" said Fred looking offended.

"Cho, did you?"

"no" said Cho while still brushing her hair with her hand.

"are you sure?"

"yes, I got Cedric to do it"

"ok, Draco did you?"

"no, I forced a seventh year girl to do it" said Draco without looking at Dumbledore.

"fine, well congratulations champions you have six months until the first task so good luck." Dumbledore walked out the room.
