Ch.3

"Sis, wake up. SIS!"

"Ah!" My eyes popped opened as I groaned barely awake. I looked up seeing Percy in a mirror made of mist

"Percy what do you want?" I pouted "Don't you know there's a five hour difference in time here?" I rubbed my eyes while yawning

Percy sheepishly smiled at me "Sorry"

I smiled "Apology accepted. So what is it that you want?" I asked sitting up from my bed

"Just wanna know how you're doing"

I sigh combing my hair with my hand "Well, I'm currently in my own room in the Gryffindor Tower, I was originally sleeping" I said eyeing on my twin who looked away "and I just found out there's a tournament of some sort that's gonna happen between the magic schools...Oh and I'm gonna be teaching the students battling skills"

Percy looked at me "You teaching?"

"That's right, what's wrong?" I looked back at him

"Nothing" he said while murmuring "They're in for some hell of a training"

I smirked "You know I can hear you right?"

Percy nervously laughed then stopped "Well anything I can help you with sis?"

I thought about it for a while "Well I might need some weapons, armory, and some test subjects"

"I can get you that"

"Thanks Perce" I smiled

"No problem, that's what sibling's for. I'll probably get those things to you tomorrow in the morning." he said turning around "I almost forgot! You'll have a special visitor soon!"

"Who is it?" I asked

"It's a secret" Percy smirked as the mist disappeared

I shake my head before crawling back to sleep for a couple more hours


"Ariadne, wake up"

I groaned "Five more minutes Annabeth"

"Who's Annabeth?"

I jumped up seeing Hermione in her wizard robe like last nights

"Sorry, a friend of mine in America" I smiled getting out of bed

Hermione looked at me suspiciously, probably because of yesterday "Hurry up, if you don't come down to the Common Room in 10 minutes I'll come up again"

"Yes, yes mione" I smiled tying up my hair into a high loose ponytail as I began to dress into the uniform like Hermione except my robe was pure black and my tie was the color of my eyes


I walked down to the Great Hall with Hermione joining Harry and Ron who sat in the Gryffindor table eating breakfast

"Good morning boys" I smiled as I help myself with some orange juice

"Morning" the two boys greeted me and went back eating quietly staring down at their plates, I eye Hermione who was doing the same thing

I took a sip of my juice before placing it down "Alright, spill the beans whats wrong with you three"

Hermione and Ron eyed on Harry who silently protested by then looked at me "Who are you really? Why were you at the teachers table yesterday? And the food burning, what is that?"

"Well like Dumbledore said, I'll be you're teachers for a class which will be revealed soon. I was at the teachers table because Dumbledore asked me to. And the food burning is a tradition at my school" I answered

"Why you? Why are you chosen to be our teacher?" Hermione asked

I shrugged "I have no idea. Dumbledore contacted my schools headmaster or as I would like to call our mentor to assign a student from my school to here to..."

"Go on" Harry said

"To protect you Harry. I was assigned here to protect you from any harm to the best of my ability" I said staring at him

"You? Protect Harry?" Ron snorted

I gritted my teeth while grabbing onto Ron's cup and crushed it with my bear hand creating a loud noise catching everyone in the rooms attention "Any complains?" I questioned

Ron looked at the crushed goblet on the table and gulped "Nope. Nothing at all"

"Good" I said eyeing onto the deformed piece of metal as it returned back to its shape and floated back next to Ron's arm

"Bloody Hell" Ron said

I rolled my eyes and went ahead with the bacon strips on the table ignoring others stares at me as I talked with Hermione

"So what classes do you guys have?"

"Well we have defense against dark arts today"


"Alaster Moody" The teacher turned around picking up a chalk and began to write on the board behind him "Ex-Auror, and you're new defense against dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, good bye! The End! Any questions?"

The class stayed silent

Professor Moody continued 'When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach" His eyes widened as the students got a bit nervous, while I continued to listen. Surprising my ADHD isn't really bothering me or anything nor is my dyslexia causing me any problems, probably because of Hecate...

"But first anyone can tell me, how many Unforgivable Curses there are?"

"3 sir" Hermione said

"And they are so named?" Moody asked writing on the board once again

"Cause they are unforgivable. The use for only one will-"

"Earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban! Correct!" Moody turned around "now the ministry says you are too young to see what those curses do. I say different! You need to know what you're up against! You need to be prepared! You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk! Mr. Finnigan!"

Everyone turned around to see

"No way. The old codger can see out the back of his head" Seamus said

Moody turned around aiming the chalk at Seamus "And hear across classrooms!"

"So which curse shall we see first? Weasley!"

Ron jumped "Yes?"

"Stand!" Moody said as Ron did as told

"Give us a curse"

"Well...m-my dad-did tell me about one. The I-Imperious Curse?" Ron stammered

"Your father would know about that one, give the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why" Moody said reaching in a jar for a spider using a few spell on it as the spider was forced by the professor around the room as many students giggled.

I looked at the students unimpressed, Dumbledore's right. They need to experience more to understand, the meaning of certain things

"Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the influence of the Imperious curse but here's the rub. How do we sort out the liars?"

The class was silent once again

"Another, another!" Students then began to raise their hand "Up! Up! Come on! Longbottom is it? Up" The teacher then leaned in "Professor Sprout has told me you have you have an aptitude for Herbology"

Longbottom nodded "The-the um...the Cruciatus Curse"

"Correct! Correct! Come! Come!" Moody said as the boy followed "The torture curse. Crucio!"

The spider loudly screech in pain while Longbottom try to look away

Hermione who had enough shouted "Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him! Stop it!"

Moody who is out of his trance stopped and place the spider on Hermione's side of the desk

"Perhaps you can give us the last Unforgivable Curse Ms. Granger."

Hermione looked up and shook her head

"No? How about you Ms. Jackson?" Moody place the spider onto my book

I looked up staring him straight in the eye "The Killing Curse sir"

"Perhaps you would like to show us?"

The class gasped looking straight at me, Hermione grasped onto my arm "Don't! Saying this curse will send you-"

"That's only for using it on mortals" I cut Hermione off still staring at Moody as Hermione's grip tighten. I eyed on Moody's wand as a stream of green light shoot out from it hitting the spider dead "Avada Kedavra. That's the curse isn't it?"

Moody who was suprised looked at me "Correct. Only one person who is known to have survived. And he's sitting in this room." he walked over to Harry before drinking out of his container once again


"Brillant isn't he? Totally mental of course. terrifying being in the same room with. He's really been there you know?"

"There's a reason those curses were unforgivable! To perform them in the classroom?" Hermione turned around at Ron then at me "And You! How can you use the worse of the three?"

The three trio's looked at me as I stopped walking "I've seen worse" I then started to walk again

"But have you seen Neville's face?" Hermione said as i stopped once again looking at Neville who was staring at a glass pane

"Are you alright?" I asked

Before he can reply Professor Moody walked down placing a hand on him "Son, are you alright?" Neville began to turn around "Come on, we'll have a cup of tea." Neville then followed Moddy up the class again

Harry and the others continue walking down as I looked at the glass pane portrait Neville was staring at seeing a tear caused by rain drip down the womens sad face


We sat in the room where the Goblet of Fire was in, while one person after another put their name into the goblet earning an applause for each one

Cedric was then dragged in by his friends "Put it in!" which he did

"Eternal Glory. Brilliant wouldn't it?" Ron said to me and Harry

"Trust me, sometimes it isn't" I said

"Are you going to put you're name in?" Ron asked

I snorted "I'm just turned 15(She's younger then Percy)"

"But you gotta have some perks" Ron said as i shrugged sitting down next to Hermione "Maybe"

"You can't be thinking of actually putting your name in" Hermione said

"Why not?" I grinned writing my name on a piece of paper

Hermione shook head "Don't come crying to me if anything happens to you"

The Weasley twins then came in "I think I may have found my partners in crime" I grinned again at Hermione

"We done it!" Fred said

"Cooked it up this morning" George continued

"It's not going to work~" Hermione and I said together

The twins bent down next to us

"Oh yeah?"

"And why's that?"

"You see this?" I said pointing at the circle of mist around the goblet "This is an age line" I continued "Dumbledore drew it himself"

'So?"

Hermione continued for me "So, a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possible be fooled or pathetically thin-witted by an aging potion"

"Yeah but that's why it's so brilliant"

"Cause it so pathetically thin-witted"

"Even Jackson who explain this has a paper"

I smirked "I did say it's not going to work but it's not a reason not to have fun" I stood up with the twins who began to shake the potion in their hand

"Ready Fred?" George asked

"Ready George" Fred said

"Bottoms up" they said together drinking the potion and successfully jump into the circle earning a applause from everyone. They then drop their name in successfully...only for it to backfire turning them into old mens. Then everyone stared to laugh while they lunge at each other

I chuckled and began to walk up towards the goblet

"Are you serious? After seeing the twins fail?" Hermione asked

"Why not" I shrugged walking into the goblet while the students stared

I dropped the paper into the goblet waiting for something to happen, only it didn't.

"No fair Ariadne! You're younger then both of us!" George shouted

I shrugged "Perhaps I'm lucky. Relax, I won't get chosen" I turn around to sit next to Hermione to see the Drumstrang Headmaster and the seeker walk in

Krum dropped his paper in the fire as he stared at Hermione while walking away

"Someone have a crush" I teased as Hermione slapped my arm while I laughed


As the night fall, we all settled in the Great Hall, prepared to see who will be picked

"Sit down, please" Dumbledore said as everyone followed "And now the moment, we've all been waiting for! The champion selection!"

The lights went down as the selection begins. The goblet fire then turned red as a slip of paper came out "The Durnstrang Champion is, Viktor Krum"

Everyone cheered as Krum rise up disappearing into the chamber

"The champion for Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour!"

"Of course it's a veela" i murmured

"The Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory"

Cedric stood up and walked into the chamber, all three champions are chosen

"Excellent! We now have our three champions, but in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will hold the name of the champion! This vessel of victory for Triwizard Cup!" Dumbledore said as Goblet then came out another slip

"Harry Potter"

Murmuring filled the air, some in confusion, some disbelief

I felt Harry tense up next to me. I looked at him, his face pale white. There's no way he could have put the slip in...he couldn't and he didn't...

"HARRY POTTER!" Dumbledore shouted

"Go on Harry" I said as he quietly walked up

He took the slip from Dumbledore letting me go and walked to the chamber with students whispering about him

"The selection is over, all students return to their common room!" Dumbledore said as the students scattered

Ron instantly followed them off

"Ariadne, check Harry for me" Hermione said as I nodded

I immediately walk in the chamber while the professors shouted at each other behind me

I reached Harry and grabbed him by the arm "Are you alright?"

He nodded "I didn't do it"

"I know. I believe in you" I said

Dumbledore then grabbed him "Harry! Did you put you're name in the Goblet of Fire?"

Harry who was shoved replied "No sir"

"Did you ask one of the students to do it for you?"

"No sir"

"You ABSOLUTELY sure?"

"Yes sir"

"Well of course he is lying!" The Beauxbatons headmistress said

"Well he isn't!" Moody snapped back "The goblet of fire is a powerful object, only a powerful charm can control it! Not by a fourth year!"

The teachers continued to argue until Mr. Croutch spoke "The rules are absolute. The goblet of fire binds a magical contract. Mr. Potter has no choice, he is as of tonight a Triwizard Champion"


Harry returned to the common room while I stayed behind

"This can't go on Albus. First the dark mark. Now this" Professor Mcgonagall said

"What do you suggest, Minevera" Dumbledore said

"Put an end to this, don't let Potter compete"

"If we have to find out what's behind this, for the time being...let them unfold" Snape said

"Do nothing? We just let him compete? Potter is a boy"

"Boy or not" I spoke up "It's just fate, and we have to go with it." The four professors looked at me "We can't fight against the fate"

"Alaster keep an eye on Harry would you?" Dumbledore said "Ms. Jackson, please protect him."

"Chiron sent me here to help him against Voldemort, and I will do it even if it risk my life" I said walking out of the room


I plop myself onto the bed frustrated. I sat up and grabbed a drachma out of my bag

"Percy Jackson, Half-Blood Camp" I said flicking the coin up showing Percy inside the mist

"Sis?"

"Percy"
