Chapter 11: Who Did it?
A.N. I don't own Harry Potter because my name is not J. and please no bad reviews.

After assembly had finished, Ash went back up to the common room with all her housemates, while James had to go to the Champions room where all the people who were chosen by the Goblet of Fire were. The weird thing was, they had turned the trophy room into the 'Champions hangout' The door automatically opened for him. When he entered, he saw the 3 other champions around the room. Sid was looking at a trophy which Ravenclaw won for quidditch a few years before. Noémi Roux was looking at different things and looked very surprised because she had never seen so many trophies! Aleksandar Penev was just still in the middle of the room, he looked like he was not interested in anything at all, James really thought he was a selfish, ignorant git, but this was because he started 'flirting' and giving Ash 'the look' when he put his name in the Goblet!
Then all three champions saw James and Sid was going to come up but then Aleksandar stopped him because he knew a teacher was coming from behind him. Professor McGonagall was running behind James and she cornered him and then asked him 'James Potter, so like your father. What's wrong with you?'
'Nothings wrong with my professor, I don't know how my name got into that Goblet' Replied James, who was now getting sweaty and worried.
McGonagall's eyes widened and she was worried about something, James didn't know what but somehow the others and everyone else in the room except James knew what McGonagall was thinking, this was because they knew what happened to Harry (his father) in the past, maybe he was back, maybe James was in danger, something was very, very fishy!
After a while, James returned back to the common room where he thought everyone was in their dormitories. He went to sit in front of the fire place, on the red sofa, when he saw someone lying there, it was someone who was obviously waiting for him, someone he knew. The person was covered, and looked like had been waiting for ages, since that person was sleeping. James wanted to know who it was, so he moved the blanket from the persons face, which revealed some hair, the hair was jet black and was straight… As James revealed more of the face he knew who it was. It was Ash. Ash had been waiting for James because she was worried and she cared for him. James smiled and then shook her, he didn't really want to wake her up, but she looked pretty uncomfortable where she was, so he had to wake her up. He shook her until Ash's eyes opened up. She didn't recognise James at first until she was fully awake and recognised James. 'Oh James! Sorry did I take up the sofa?' Said Ash.
'No, not at all, its just you seemed uncomfortable the way you were sleeping…' Replied James.
'Oh, I was fine, how are you? You seemed pretty tense before…'
'Oh I'm absolutely fine, I just got picked for the most dangerous tournament ever!'
Ash and James both started laughing, this was a good attitude and made James forget everything else that happened that evening. Eventually, they stopped laughing and then James looked up at Ash and said 'Were you… Were you waiting… Were you waiting for me?'
Ash looked up at James too and then said 'Yeah… a little, I was worried. I mean who wouldn't… Your in the most dangerous tournament ever… And you're a little underage too…'
James smiled and he didn't really know what to say. Ash smiled back and said 'Okay, I think we both better turn in, YOU have a long day tomorrow and I have to start practicing for Quidditch trials'
James agreed and they both went up to their dormitories to go to sleep, and be ready for the next day.

The next morning, it was hectic. It was raining and the clouds were grey and it was really miserable. Ash woke up terribly, she was comfortable in her bed but she didn't like the weather AT ALL. Rhea was pretty miserable as well. She just didn't understand why Sid didn't listen to her when she said to him to not enter the tournament. Yes Sid had tried and tried to see her after the assembly but she ignored him. Yes Sid was now someone very special to Rhea, because they had gone through so much together and everyone thought they were the PERFECT couple, some people hadn't heard about this BIG break up, only most of the Gryffindor's and one or two of the Ravenclaw's did. Rhea was sitting by the window, watching the raindrops drip on the window.
'Hey, are you okay Rhea?' Asked Ash
'Yeah I'm fine…' Said Rhea while sighing.
'Rhea, don't lie to me, your obviously NOT fine'
'Ash. You MUST know why I'm like this!'
'No. No I don't, YOU tell me!'
'Its Sid…'
'WELL OBVIOUSLY… Details would be good please'
'I told him not to enter the Tournament and he didn't even listen to me…'
'Listen Rhea, Boys are arrogant and idiots and they don't listen to anyone and trust me Sid is a BOY'
'I know Sid's a boy! But I thought he was different from everyone else, he was sweet and kind and trusting!'
'Yeah… Well I thought James was different as well but I guess he's not!'
'No, I really mean Sid is ACTUALLY different'
'Now your confusing me Rhea, I'm going to get changed now… See you later'
'See you Ash' Replied Rhea while sighing again.
While this was happening, James had to be woken up early because professor McGonagall wanted to meet them in the Champion room. James, Aleksandar, Noémi and Sid were altogether in one room.
'I want to inform all 4 of you first, we are going to have a Yule Ball and does anyone here know what a Yule Ball is?' Said McGonagall.
'Is it 'un of those things what Cinderella went in?' Asked Noémi.
'Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Its where you eat everything on the tables and dance right?' interrupted Sid.
'Oh I am sure it is not. I am using mind skill, it is a Ball? Where Princes meet Princesses?' Said Aleksandar.
'NO! Your all wrong, the Yule Ball is first and foremost a dance!' Shouted James
Everyone went quiet, but they were all desperate to know what this Yule Ball thing was!
'Yes, well done James, the Yule Ball is a dance, and I'm expecting each and every one of you to get someone to dance with as the four of you are going to dance first. It's a tradition that the 3 Champions, in this case 4, start the Yule Ball with the formal dance with their partner'
All the Champions cheered then everyone started deciding who they would go with, Noémi wanted to go with Blaise Creevy, Sid wanted to go with Rhea while both Aleksandar and James wanted to go with Ash. Yes Aleksandar saw Ash and he really liked her the moment he saw her when he put his name in the Goblet, the point was he didn't really know her name. He then tapped James and then asked 'That girl who is in Gryffindor, the one sit next to you in Great Hall, what is her name?'
James now had a straight face and then replied 'Oh her! Her names Emily. Why?'
'Oh beautiful name for a beautiful lady, I shall ask her to the Yule Ball'
'Good Luck with that…' Whispered James under his breath.
After that James went to Defence Against the Dark Arts where the only seat that was available was the seat that was next to William Crabbe (Second year, Slytherin) He was podgy, fat, ugly and looked just like his father but with acne and he was much fatter (His father is Vincent Crabbe)
William gave him a smile and then looked back at the professor who was saying 'Today, I am going to teach you about… CORNISH PIXIES!'
The lesson was boring, boring and even more boring and James nearly fell asleep but thank god, it was the end of the lesson.
James waited for Ash outside the classroom and then when Ash came out he asked her if he could walk with her back to the common room, Ash agreed.
James and Ash were casually laughing and having fun while walking to the common room, but then when they were in the Transfiguration courtyard, Ash was tripped over. Books and pieces of paper flew everywhere and it was going out of control, someone had planned this, but no one knew who, Ash HAD to be rushed to the Hospital Wing, Professor Madden who was the nurse, came running out saying 'Quick! We have to get Miss Phoenix to the hospital wing quickly!' James wanted to go with Ash but he couldn't because he was forbidden to. He tried and tried to look for clues until suddenly James got hit… Suddenly… 'STUPEFY!' …
