Chapter Ten- The Goblet of Fire
It was a week before Halloween. Jasper and Alice still loved Defense Against the Dark Arts. It was still mostly everyone's favorite class. This year Professor Lupin was teaching dark spells and how to protect yourself against them. In the Gryffindor common room a note was pinned to the noticed board. The note said that the delegates from the two schools would be arriving the day before Halloween. Classes would end a half an hour early that day.
Today they had Charms, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Lupin's first full moon of the new school year went well. The next full moon would in a few days. Alice hoped that her godfather would be careful. She would tell him in class after the class is over. Hermione, Ron, Jasper, Harry, and Alice all headed down to breakfast. Jasper picked up on Alice's emotions. He knew that she was terrified of the upcoming events. "Ali, are you okay?"
She turned her head towards him before responding. "Jazz, I'm scared that the event I saw this summer is drawing nearer."
"I'll help you through it, Ali. There's no need to be afraid because I'll be with you okay."
"Thank you, Jazz. That really means a lot to me."
In Charms they learned about the summoning charm. Professor Flitwick taught them the correct movement. The charm was Accio. It took a while, but by the end of class Hermione, Jasper, and Alice all successfully completed the spell. Ron and Harry almost completed the charm. They were still having problems by the time class had ended.
Transfiguration went by quickly. Professor McGonagall decided to teach them about animagous. She wanted her class to know how difficult it was to become. She told her class that not everybody is able to become animagi. Only a handful of people will have that talent. Finally the bell rang and Hermione, Ron, Jasper, Harry, and Alice headed to the Great Hall for lunch.
Lunch went by quickly. Afterwards they headed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Alice went up to the Remus' office. She noticed that he was already beginning to look pale. "Alice, you are early. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, Remus. You are already getting pale, but the full moon isn't for a few days."
"I guess that I'm already feeling the affects of the full moon even though it is not the day before."
She silently left his office and went into the classroom. Her friends were waiting for her. Together they sat down and the rest of the class entered the room. Professor Lupin came down from his office a few minutes later. He began his lesson, which was about a dark spell. He described its affects before telling the name of the dark spell. Quills could be heard scratching against the parchment as the class took notes. As he was explaining the curse Hermione raised her hand. "Professor what is this spell?"
"It's a unforgivable curse. Who here can name one?"
Neville shakily raised his hand. "The curtiatous curse."
"Very good, Mr. Longbottm. The curtiatous curse is to make the victim feel pain. Anyone else?"
Ron raised his hand slowly. "There is the imperious curse."
"Yes. The imperious curse is used to control someone. Another one."
Hermione gulped before raised her hand. "The last one is the killing curse."
"Yes. There are no survivors to the killing curse. Only two people have survived. Why are they named the unforgivable curses?"
Alice raised her hand this time. "The use of any of the three will earn a one way ticket to Azkaban prison."
"Very good. Twenty points to Gryffindor."
The class was over and students started to file out of the classroom. Hermione, Ron, Jasper, Harry, and Alice were the last to leave. Before she went through the door she took one last look at Remus. He met her eyes with his. She finally left with her friends. They walked towards Gryffindor tower. A few minutes later they stopped in front of the fat lady. "Password?"
"Eclipse," replied Harry.
The day before Halloween finally came. There was a rush of excitement all through the castle. Classes had gone by rather quickly. Now all of the students were waiting for the delegates from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons to arrive. How would each school arrive to Hogwarts? Suddenly something large started to come into view. Eight flying white horses could be seen pulling a big carriage. A few minutes later a large ship rose out of the lake.
The students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons entered the Great Hall. Students from Durmstrang were wearing furs, while the students from Beauxbatons were wearing blue silk. Jasper and Alice watched as they sat down at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables. Dinner went quickly and soon the students all filed out of the Great Hall. Tomorrow students seventeen and older would submit their names to the goblet.
Jasper and Alice walked into the Great Hall the next morning. Some of the students were already putting their names in the goblet of fire. Hermione, Ron, and Harry entered the Great Hall a few minutes later. They sat down next to their two friends. Jasper and Alice were busy eating breakfast to notice that their friends had come in. He was silently sending her waves of calm.
Hermione, Ron, Jasper, Harry, and Alice spent the day visiting with Hagrid. They were careful not to eat any of his rock cakes. However, they did have some tea. Harry noticed that there was something off with his sister. He wasn't sure what was wrong. Hermione noticed that Harry was looking at Alice. "Harry what is going on?"
"I don't know. Alice, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine Harry, why?"
Night was fast approaching. The five friends walked back up to the castle. When they entered the Great Hall Fred and George Weasley were standing in front of the age line holding something in their hands. A few seconds later they were blasted back each were sporting white beards. The students in the Great Hall burst into laughter. Fred and George went up to the hospital wing. A few minutes later they were back looking normal.
The goblet of fire was ready to choose champions. A piece of parchment flew into the air out of the goblet. Professor Dumbledore caught it. "The champion for Durmstrang is Victor Krum!" another piece of parchment burst out of the goblet. "The champion for Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacure." The third piece of parchment flew out of the goblet. "The Hogwarts champion is Cedric Diggory." To everyone's surprise a fourth piece of parchment came out. "Alice Potter."
