It was Thursday night as everybody was in the Goblet room as Danny sat between of Ron and Harry while Hermione sat in front of them.
"Sit down please." Professor Dumbledore started "and now the moment you all been waiting for, the champion selections!"
As Professor Dumbledore walked up to the blue fire it turned red as he grabbed a piece of paper.
"The drumstrang champion is Viktor Krum!" The drumstrang crowd cheered another name came out.
"The champion from Beauxbatons...Fleur Deaclour!"
The Beauxbatons crowd cheered as Fleur step up to the stage.
"The Hogwarts champion is...Cedrick Diggory!"
The Hogwarts people cheered for Cedrick as he stepped up and takes 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!" Dumbledore called out.
People cheer, but the goblet glows red once more and two names flies out. Dumbledore takes it and reads...
"Daniel and Harry Potter." Dumbledore whispered "Daniel and Harry Potter!" He shouted that time.
Danny stood frozen he can hear Hagrid.
"No! No!"
"Daniel and Harry Potter!"
"Go you two for goodness sake go!" Hermione pushed both brothers to the stage as Danny was shaking he can feel his legs shaking as he stood there Harry saw this and put a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"They're a cheat they're not even seventeen yet!" A voice yelled out Danny growled as his eyes glowed green but with his brother's hand on his shoulder calmed him down.
After a few minutes later Danny and Harry were standing in a room with the other champions Danny tensed as Dumbledore charged towards him and Harry.
"Boys, did you put your names in the goblet of fire?" Dumbledore asked. "No sir." Both brothers said.
"Did you ask one of the older students to do for you?"
"No sir."
"You're absolutely sure?"
"Yes sir." Harry said. "Well, of course they're lying." Maxine said. "We're not lying!" Danny glared at the woman.
"The hell he is. The goblet of fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object, only an exceptionally powerful conjurer could have hoodwinked it. Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth year." Mad Eye Moody said.
"You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought Mad-Eye." A man that Danny turned to said.
" It was once my job to think as dark wizards do Karkaroff perhaps you remember?"
" That doesn't help Alastor. Leave this to you Barty?" Dumbledore said. "The rules are absolute, the goblet of fire constitutes a binding magical contract. Tonight...a tri wizards champion." Barry said.
DARKEND TOWER ROOM
"This can't go on Albus. First the dark mark, now this?" Professor McGonagall said as she paced in Professor Dumbledore's office. "Master I too find it different to believe this mere coincidence, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these being let them unfold." Professor Snape said.
"Do nothing?" McGonagall asked "Offer them up as bait? the twin Potters is are boys not a piece of meat!"
I agree with Severus. Alastor, keep an eye on Harry will you and I know that Daniel have powers but keep an eye on him also." Dumbledore said.
"I can do that." Mad Eye said.
DUMBLEDORE
"Don't let them know though, they must anxious enough as it is... knowing what lies ahead. Then again, we all are."
With Harry, Ron and Danny.
"How did you two do it?" Ron asked making Danny groaned annoyed as his brother didn't replied to Ron's question. "Never mind. Doesn't matter. You could have let your best friend know though." Ron said to the two brothers.
"Let you know what?" Harry asked.
"You know bloody well what." Ron glared. "We didn't ask for this to happen Ron." Danny glared back as his eyes flickered to neon green in anger. "Piss off." Ron said ignoring Danny as he looked at Harry.
"Okay? You're being stupid."
"Yeah that's me, Ron Weasley... Harry Potter's stupid friend." Ron said lying down on his bed as Danny chose to ignored his red head friend and lay down on his bed and listen to them fight.
"We didn't put our names in that cup. We don't WANT eternal glory We just wanna be.. Look, I don't know what happened tonight and I don't know why, it just did ok." Harry said.
As everything was quiet Danny thought that they had fallen asleep and he was right as he hear Ron's snores he quietly walked too the window and open it a little he looked at his sleeping brother and friend he quickly and quietly changed to Phantom and flew outside of the bedroom and sat on the very top of the tip of the castle looking at the night sky which was cleared and see bright stars that were shining brightly Danny sighed as he put his head in his hands.
"Are you okay Phantom?" with a gasped Danny looked up to see Valerie in her red and black suit and has her glider. "Val! Why are you here I thought I told you to go home and where's-." Danny was cut off as Valerie gently put a hand on his cheek to calm him down.
"Danny what's wrong?"
With a sigh he started to explain "Mine and Harry's names were chosen from the Goblet."
"I thought you guys were supposed to be 17 to enter?" Valerie asked confused as she sat down next to him. "We are."
"Then-"
"Some put our names in the cup Val I know it wasn't me or Harry or anybody else that I know of." Danny asked cutting his friend off. "Well you'll figure out and this through this you been through worse before." Val said putting a hand on his shoulder Danny looked up at her with fearful eyes she frowned she never seen Danny so scared before.
'I think there's actually someone is going to kill me and Harry." Danny said Valerie pulled Danny into a hug he was shock but slowly hugged back they slowly let go and noticed how close their faces were they quickly moved back from each other with blushes on their faces as Danny coughed nervously.
"So see you later?" Valerie asked. "Yeah sure!" Danny said as he gave her a small smile before flying back down to his bedroom.

"I'm Rita Skeeter, I write for the daily prophet. But of course you know that don't you. its you we don't know, you're the news. what quirks beneath those rosy cheeks? What mysteries do the muscles curls? In short, what makes a champion tick. Me, myself and I want to know. Not to mention my rabid readers. So, whos feeling up to sharing? Mmm? Shall we start with the youngest. Lovely." A woman named Rita Skeeter said.
After a few minutes later Danny saw that his brother was angry as Harry stood next to him not saying anything.
"She's that bad?" Danny asked before Harry could answered Danny was grabbed by the arm and yanked away from his brother making the ghost boy yelped in surprise as Rtia pulled Danny into a closet.
"This looks cosy." Rita said already annoying Danny as he frowned. "It's a broomcupboard." Danny answered. "Your brother said the same thing." Rita shrugged before saying "So Daniel-"
"Uh it's Danny."
"Yes Danny age of 12 same age of your brother-"
"I'm fourteen." Danny glared. "How does it feel that your family is gone."
"WHAT?!" Danny's eyes flickered to green but Rita never noticed just ignoring the boy. "Yes I've heard that you failed to save your family in time and also your two best friends which one of them was your girlfriend Samantha right?"
"Okay one thing don't EVER say her name again I'm the only one can say her name and two you stay out of my personal life!" Danny yelled angrily before slamming the door open as he was growling no one dear to ask him what was wrong or calm him down he walked over to Harry and say nothing but angrily stared at the woman.
Harry looked at his brother as he can sense his anger he gently put a hand on Danny's shoulder.
