Chapter Nine
The Selections
Over the week, many people entered their names in to the goblet of fire, hoping to win the TriWizard tournament. At the end of the week, every one was to report to the great hall.
"I can't wait to see who gets selected." Ginny said excitedly to her new American friend, Jacob. Jacob knew exactly who would be in the competition. They all took their seats.
"You are probably wondering why you have been summoned here today. The answer is, to select the competitors of the TriWizard tournament." The hall flooded with mummers of who would be picked. The giant door to the great hall swung open to reveal the goblet of fire, floating through slowly to the front. Once it got to the front and was firm on the ground, it lit up a bright blue and spit out a small crumpled up sheet of paper. "Jacob Gagnon!" McGonical shouted and an American rose and went to the front. "Britt King!" She read off. Once more an American rose and went to the front. Another piece, and what they thought would be the last, was spat out. "Ginny Weasley!" She shouted. Harry was taken aback, then once more when the goblet lit up a fourth time spitting out a well burnt piece of paper. The headmaster reeled around to the teachers, signaling them to listen in as she went towards Hermione and Harry. The hall filled gradually with gossip over why.
Harry couldn't believe that, once again, some one put his name in the goblet of fire.
"You must compete again." McGonical said. Harry nodded and joined the rest in the back room.
"Harry?" Ginny blurted, running up to hug him.
