"And the Hogwarts champion is.. Scorpius Malfoy." Rose's jaw dropped, so did half the Gryffindors.
Scorpius got an outrageous applause from the school, when he left Professor McGonogal spoke again.
"There you have it, our three champions, Aurore Leduc, Dimitar Levski and Scorpius Malfoy."
"How did that slimy git get in?" James scoffed.
"I bet he cheated." Hugo said darkly.
"You two are being stupid, the goblet just throws out any name, besides he wouldn't have the brains to-" Lily was cut off by Professor McGonogal clearing her throat loudly.
"Only one of our champions will win, the first task takes place 3 weeks from now and-"
The whole school gasped as more flames raged out the top of the goblet.
"What eez zis?" Madam Maxime demanded.
"Minerva vat is going on." Varkenoff said in awe. Three more parchments shot out, Professor McGonogal caught them and worriedly read them.
"Can, Kosta Petkov, Xavier Martin and James Potter, please go back to the chamber behind the staff table please." Rose looked back at James who seemed just as shocked as everyone else, slowly he walked with the other two to the chamber behind the staff table.
"What in Merlin's beard just happened there?" Fred said, everyone shrugged.
"At least he got in." Hugo grinned.
"Shh." Rose hissed.
"Uh, the rest of you are dismissed." Professor McGonogal sent them all to bed.
Rose and Albus exchanged a worried look.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When James, Xavier and Kosta entered the chamber, the other champions looked at them suspiciously.
"What are you lot doing here?" Scorpius demanded, James was just about to answer when an argument could be heard.
"Minerva zis eez outrageous-"
"Potter, Petkov and Martin." Professor McGonogal ordered.
"Over here now." they all commanded.
"What eez 'appening?" Aurore asked Madam Maxime, Madam Maxime mumbled something in French.
"Minerva 'ow eez zis going to work, zere eez only meant to be one champion from each school." Scorpius and Dimitar walked over.
"Oliver what do you think?" Oliver Wood who was pacing stopped.
"Well this Hasn't happened before, well not exactly like this but-"
"But how are ve going to compete with six champions." Varkenoff grunted.
"Well we could let them all compete." Professor McGonogal cocked an eyebrow, he lead the teachers to the corner of the room.
The champions looked awkwardly at each other.
"Well I see another Potter managed to sneak into the tournament." Scorpius sneered, James glared at him.
"At least i can give Hogwarts a better chance of winning, i thought we were going to lose for sure when you got selected." James smirked.
"Can't let anyone have any spotlight can you Potter, first Diggory now me, are your children going to do it to?"
"That's enough Mister Malfoy." Professor Slughorn growled.
The teachers emerged from the corner of the room.
"We have decided to let you all compete." Professor McGonogal said, the original champions frowned.
"You will all compete in the first two tasks, but whoever has the highest points out of the two champions from the different schools will compete in the third task."
"Vat? thats not fair." Dimitar said appalled.
"Zat eez preposterous!" Aurore snapped.
Scorpius smirked at James. "I'm not worried at all." he told the teachers and James.
"May the best man win Potter." Scorpius smirked and walked out of the chamber.
