Chapter Four: The Champions are Chosen

Jade P.O.V

I sat with Ashlynn and Jocelyn watching a bunch of sevenths years who had been flirting with us all day. "Do they never get tired?" I asked smiling at Ashlynn.

"Probably not, we are something new and they want a taste. Obviously until they get it, they won't." she said laughing.

"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm going for that seventh year Ravenclaw." Replied Jocelyn.

"Go for it." I said laughing.

"But first, I want Malfoy." Smirked Jocelyn and got up and left.

The smile wiped right off of my face as I went rigged and tried calming down. "She…won't…touch…him."

"What's wrong Jade? It's not like you two are dating." Ashlynn smirked.

"So? She would…they would…but…" I said trying to find a good reason to give Ash as to why I would.

"See, you like him!" Ashlynn accused.

"NO!" I yelled and blushed but quickly hid it. "I'm leaving before you spill anymore stupid ideas."

"And the truth comes out!" Ashlynn shouted and danced around me.

"Shut up Ashlynn. I don't like him; I just don't think Jocelyn should date Draco. She'll just hurt him."

"It's not like he hasn't gotten some from a girl and left her right after." She told her smiling softly.

I sighed softly and looked away, when me and Draco slept together, I felt that he had just wanted me for sex for a while after. "I know….fine. But I swear if you tell him you won't wake up in the morning." I said and turned to glare at her.

"Fine with me; like I would talk to that douche anyway." Ash smirked and ran over to Harry.

"Hey! Don't tell them either!" I yelled at her terrified.

"I won't, unless they ask." She smirked and ran towards Harry and Ron.

I sighed once again and got up carefully with my school skirt, they were such a pain to sit in. I looked around the room for Draco or Robin but didn't see either of them, I did see a guy Draco often hung out with though so I went over to ask him if he had seen either of them.

"Hey Jade." he said with a small smirk.

"Hey, you seen Draco or Robin?" I asked him with a small smile.

"Nope, but I heard Draco is with that Jocelyn girl from your school." He said with a shrug. "Why?"

My jaw clenched slightly. "No reason." I said with a sigh and calmed down. "So, what is everyone doing this weekend?" I asked the other two Slytherin boys that were with him. I believe there names were Crabbe and Goyle.

They both shrugged and replied. "Hogsmaede."

I noticed Reid flirting with some of the other girls and laughed. "Sounds fun."

The boys noticed Dumbledore walk into the room. "I think the ceremony is about to begin." He said anxiously.

I just nodded my head and sat next to him quietly. I then noticed Draco and Jocelyn walk in looking a little messy. I hide my pain and shook my head, a little disappointed at how Draco would just go and have sex with just any girl.

"Hey Jade… can I talk to you?" Theodore Nott, a sixth year Slytherin asked me almost shyly, almost.

I smiled my best smile and looked up at him. "Sure, what's up Nott?" I asked and saw how Draco looked absolutely furious.

Theodore sat down beside me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "How about you and me go to Hogsmaede for the first trip? It'll be fun."

I smirked and looked at him slyly. "Sure, I'll go with you." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

Nott moved his arm to my waist and smirked. "Great, meet you in the common room tomorrow around noon?"

Jade grinned and nodded. "Sure, I'll see you there."

"Sit down please. And now the moment you've all been waiting for, the champions selection!" Dumbledore approaches the blue flame and it glows red. A small piece of parchment comes out. Everyone looks on anxiously. "The Durmstrang champion is ... Viktor Krum!"

I clapped loudly, happy yet scared for my friend. Everyone heard the Durmstrang crowd cheer. Another name comes out of the goblet and Jade felt herself tense from anticipation.

"The champion from Beauxbatons... Fleur Delacour!" Dumbledore announced loudly.

All the Beauxbatons girls cheer as Fleur walks up except for me and Ashlynn. Another name comes out and soon after and I practically bounced in my seat.

"The Hogwarts champion... Cedric Diggory." He announces the last name and smiles out at the large crowd.

The Hogwarts students cheered as Cedric took the stage.

"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!"

People cheer, but the goblet glows red once more and another name flies out. Dumbledore takes it and reads… "Harry Potter. Harry Potter? HARRY POTTER?" he screams the name obviously unhappy.

I looked around and saw Draco's eyes flash first with confusion then anger, I also saw the same expression on quiet a few students faces. "How did he even get entered? He's too young." I asked Theo.

"No bloody clue, but I hope he dies." He muttered the last part.

I hit him and stared at Harry as he walked slowly, while shouts of protest were thrown at him.

Tears filled my eyes as I watched one of my best friends disappear with the rest of the champions. "Oh boy, this could end very, very badly."

The students were told to leave and go to their dormitories. I didn't want to leave, but we were told to go to our common rooms while the rules were explained to the Champions. Ashlynn was also crying so we held onto each other and said a silent prayer for Harry.
