CHAPTER 10- a cup that burps
Third year was interesting for Damien, not as interesting as the first 2 years but still pretty fun, after finding out what happened in the chamber the potter's apologised to Damien and he forgave them and even showed James his animagus form, to say James was surprised is quite laughable the potter lord fainted and couldn't talk for 3 days. when he could finally talk he nicknamed Damien, Moon-daze and inducted him into the Marauders and even removed wormtail from the map and replaced him with Moon-daze. James also taught Jerome to be an animagus and it turned out that Jerome was an eagle which James named Golden-claw and he too was inducted into the marauders and placed into the map.
Damien had a good summer he and Tonks spent most of their time together getting to know each others likes and dislikes and they even went to the quidditch championships which actually sucked as death eaters attacked but overall he had a good time.
when Damien went to Hogwarts he had found out something called a triwizard tournament was running this year.

the Beauxbaton and durmstrang students turned up and Damien and Jerome formed another alliance and introduced themselves to a fleur Delacour and a victor Krum and they became fast friends with them as well as a young but skinny looking wizard called Sheldon cooper who was wearing some kind of Batman clothing.

The Halloween feast seemed to take much longer than usual. Perhaps because it was their second feast in two days, Damien didn't seem to fancy the extravagantly prepared food as much as he would have normally. Like everyone else in the Hall, judging by the constantly craning necks, the impatient expressions on every face, the fidgeting, and the standing up to see whether Dumbledore had finished eating yet, Damien simply wanted the plates to clear, and to hear who had been selected as champions.
At long last, the golden plates returned to their original spotless state; there was a sharp upswing in the level of noise within the Hall, which died away almost instantly as Dumbledore got to his feet. On either side of him, Professor Karkaroff and Madame Maxime looked as tense and expectant as anyone. Ludo Bagman was beaming and winking at various students. Mr Crouch, however, looked quite uninterested, almost bored.
"Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision," said Dumbledore. "I estimate that it requires one more minute. Now, when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber" - he indicated the door behind the staff table - "where they will be receiving their first instructions."
He took out his wand and gave a great sweeping wave with it; at once, all the candles except those inside the carved pumpkins were extinguished, plunging them into a state of semidarkness. The Goblet of Fire now shone more brightly than anything in the whole Hall, the sparkling bright, bluey-whiteness of the flames almost painful on the eyes.
Everyone watched, waiting. . . . A few people kept checking their watches. . .
"Any second," Marcus flint whispered, two seats away from Harry.
The flames inside the goblet turned suddenly red again. Sparks began to fly from it.
Next moment, a tongue of flame shot into the air, a charred piece of parchment fluttered out of it - the whole room gasped.
Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it at arm's length, so that he could read it by the light of the flames, which had turned back to blue-white.
"The champion for Durmstrang," he read, in a strong, clear voice, "will be Viktor Krum." cheers erupted ads Victor shook Dumbledore's hand and left through a door Damien had just noticed.
"Bravo, Viktor!" boomed Karkaroff, so loudly that everyone could hear him, even over all the applause. "Knew you had it in you!"
The clapping and chatting died down. Now everyone's attention was focused again on the goblet, which, seconds later, turned red once more. A second piece of parchment shot out of it, propelled by the flames.
"The champion for Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!" "Oh look, they're all disappointed," Daphne said over the noise, nodding toward the remainder of the Beauxbatons party. "Disappointed" was a bit of an understatement, Damien thought. Two of the girls who had not been selected had dissolved into tears and were sobbing with their heads on their arms.
When Fleur Delacour too had vanished into the side chamber, silence fell again, but this time it was a silence so stiff with excitement you could almost taste it. The Hogwarts champion next...
And the Goblet of Fire turned red once more; sparks showered out of it; the tongue of flame shot high into the air, and from its tip Dumbledore pulled the third piece of parchment.
"The Hogwarts champion," he called, "is Cedric Diggory!" "Excellent!" Dumbledore called happily as at last the tumult died down. "Well, we now have our three champions. I am sure I can count upon all of you, including the remaining students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering your champion on, you will contribute in a very real -"
But Dumbledore suddenly stopped speaking, and it was apparent to everybody what had distracted him.
The fire in the goblet had just turned red again. Sparks were flying out of it. A long flame shot suddenly into the air, and borne upon it was another piece of parchment.
Automatically, it seemed, Dumbledore reached out a long hand and seized the parchment. He held it out and stared at the name written upon it. There was a long pause, during which Dumbledore stared at the slip in his hands, and everyone in the room stared at Dumbledore. And then Dumbledore cleared his throat and read out - "Jerome potter" before anyone could react two more name shot out "Valkyrie cain and Damien Cross"
