Outside of the Potions Class, Kagome was talking with Collin and Luna, Gryffindor and Ravenclaws, in her year, had Potions together, it was Gryffindor and Slytherin for Draco's year though, which meant he took full advantage of Hermione's smarts in class. Not that he wasn't smart, but the Brightest Wizard put with the Brightest Witch of their year? It was bound to make front page news really, should his father or anyone else find out. The trio that stood outside the Potions Room right now, were waiting for the class to end so that they could go inside. They had just finished with Care of Magical Creatures themselves, again, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for them. In Potions right now were the fourth years, then third, then second, and then first. Kagome had memorized Severus's schedule so she could safely visit him without interrupting his classes, though she still preferred her late night visits to her midday visits.
"So, tonight we will learn whom our Champions will be," Luna sighed, "It would be wonderful to see Kagome as our Champion."
Kagome looked at Luna as if she'd lost her mind, "I wrestled a Werewolf last year and almost died, I'd rather not go chasing danger so early into the school year. Maybe...give me a couple more weeks to settle into Hogwarts before sending me off to my death again."
Collin laughed, "But you are the talk of the school. I mean, not to knock Harry off his pedestal, but we expect great things from him, it's always a delightful surprise with you."
Rolling her eyes, Kagome never noticed the students coming out of the room, "I don't know if I'd care too much if this year, harry did the adventure on his own. It may be relaxing to just hang back this time around."
"I was thinking the same thing, about taking a break and letting you fight off the next horrendous thing to try and end my life."
Kagome turned and smiled, "and wouldn't you feel horrible if it ended mine," she joked.
"Actually, yes I would." Harry said seriously, "Though, I'm sure most of the pain I would be feeling would no doubt come from the cruciatus curse when Draco uses it on me for getting his girlfriend killed."
"True right you would," Draco frowned, just thinking about Kagome getting hurt was unsettling.
Kagome who had noticed how both boys had gone unusually silent, "Well, thankfully I'm alive, so no Cruciatus and no me dead. On another note, when do we learn about the cruciatus?"
Draco and Harry both changed their tunes as a pale look met the both of them.
"Or do I want to know?"
"We had our first D.A.D.A class the other day...and we learned about all three Unforgivable Curses." Hermione commented, a little off colored as well, thinking about the lesson they had with their new professor.
"Is there a reason why you are all blocking students from both leaving and entering my classroom?"
Kagome jumped and turned at the familiar drawl that could only be her favorite professor. "S-sorry Professor Snape!" She blushed, not used to people catching her off guard.
Severus raised a brow as the group dispersed and Kagome, Luna and Collin ran inside to their seats. Kagome and Collin were sitting together as partners and Kagome was still flustered at being caught by surprise by the Potions Professor.

"Where is Kagome?"
Draco turned to see one of Kagome's many friends standing behind him. The girl with really long dark brown hair, "Sango right?"
She smiled, "that's right."
"Kagome went to her room to put her book bag away, said it was too much stuff to carry to dinner. She shouldn't be much longer." He pointed behind the girl and off towards the entrance to the Great Hall, "there she is now."
Sango turned and smiled, watching Kagome as she ran to the Slytherin table, "are you sitting over here?"
Kagome grinned, "yeah, I promised Draco yesterday that I would sit with him today, since I'm a Gryffindor, I'm technically supposed to stay at my house table...technically. But who would I be if I just followed protocol."
Laughing, Sango was sitting beside her despite the fact that she was supposedly a Beauxbaton student. "I will get in trouble for not sitting where we were told, but I will return before the Champions are called, we haven't had a chance really to talk or hang out since we arrived."
Draco listened to the two girls as they talked. "Well, we won't be here to hear the names anyways, the names will be called out where the Goblet is now being held in the lower dungeon."
"Is that where everyone is?" Kagome frowned, noting how few students there were.
Nodding, Draco stood and smirked, "I didn't feel it very gentlemanly of myself to leave my date for the night waiting here alone. Shall we, ladies?"
Kagome smiled, placing her hand on Draco's offered arm, and then taking Sango's hand. "Tonight we'll find out who our Champions are. I'm putting money on Cedric, to be perfectly honest. He's top of his year and one of the better choices that I've seen put their name in. I was hoping Sesshoumaru would be the champion for Durmstrang, but InuYasha said he didn't have plans of putting his name in, so it'll probably be Krum for them."
Sango sighed, "The girls actually talked me into putting my name in. Fleur did too, but they said it would be an easy win should I compete."
Kagome laughed, "Probably so."
The three arrived and looked around to see the tables had been moved into the large dungeon. Taking their seats on the steps near Harry, Ron and Hermione. Fred and George came up and placed hands on Kagome's shoulder from behind, George ruffled Draco's hair for a good laugh before they all stopped messing around to hear the names. Dumbledore hushing everyone, calling them to sit.
"Now the moment you've all been waiting for. THE CHAMPION SELECTION!" He waved his hand around the room in a slow motion, the fires that were burning on the torches dimmed magnificently and darkened the room.
Blaise and Theodore moved to sit beside Draco, moving in the shadows so not to draw attention to themselves as they tried to stay under Dumbledore's radar.
Watching in awe as he stepped up to the Goblet, touching it with absolute care as he walked around it, gazing into the blue flame, he stepped back a few steps and the students watched as the flame lit up a brilliant shade of red before a piece of torn parchment flew from its flame. Dumbledore took it in hand as it fell towards him and read the paper, "The Durmstrang Champion is...Viktor Krum!"
"Too bad," Kagome listened as the Durmstrang students cheered on Krum, Sesshoumaru was behind her. She glanced back and he raised a brow before nodding towards the Goblet. Krum was leaving the room through a door behind Dumbledore when she looked back towards the Goblet. She watched the flame light up that wondrous shade of red again, another piece of parchment left its flame.
"The Champion for Beauxbatons, is Sango Taijya!"
"Sango!" Kagome cheered as her friend looked up startled at her name being called. "Go! Go!" Kagome laughed.
Standing, Sango smiled as her friends in her own school cheered for her, though she couldn't deny the nervous feeling she got, she was excited too. "Sir," she shook Dumbledore's hand who guided her towards the same door Krum had earlier left through.
Another burning ember, red shining from the Goblet as Dumbledore took the paper from the air it floated in, "The Hogwarts Champion, Cedric Diggory!"
Kagome nodded, smiling as she clapped her hands, watching Cedric leave to join the others.
"Excellent! We now have our three champions. But in the end, only one will go down in history."
Kagome watched Crouch bring out the Trophy for the tournament, covered in a gray cloth. She knew what it was only because she'd seen it when he brought it to her and her father's house before the start of the school year.
"Only one will hoist this chalice of champions...this vessel of victory...the TriWizard Cup!" Dumbledore turned and pointed as the cloth was pulled to reveal a dragon ensnared chalice that was lit with blue dragon fire contained within its glorious crystal. Thanks completely to her father who had been charged with its creation, only having a boring trophy to start.
Kagome caught sight of something at the corner of her eyes, standing, she stopped clapping and took a few steps towards the Goblet. Shaking her head, she yelled, "Professor Dumbledore!"
He turned and looked as she raised her hand and pointed to the Goblet of Fire, her eyes wide with shock. Severus too had stepped forward in curious wonderment. The Goblet was not done, it was bursting with its blue flames before shooting forth red embers that released...another piece of parchment.
Kagome was the one to catch the parchment as it drifted in her direction. She read the name in a gentle whisper, "Harry Potter..." her head shaking over and over as the realization hit her heard. 'Harry is...a Champion?!'
Dumbledore pulled the paper from Kagome's hand gently so not to frighten the already on edge girl who was still staring at the parchment, eyes glistening with tears as she tried to understand what was going on. He patted her on the shoulder and read the name to himself before calling it out a bit louder. When Harry still didn't come forward, he resorted to shouting, "HARRY POTTER!" his voice boomed dangerously around the dungeon.
Draco ran forward and took Kagome into his arms as he noticed her moving to say something towards their headmaster. It would do no good to start an argument right there in front of the other students. They watched as Harry walked quietly towards Severus who seemed completely at a loss for wards, merely letting him step past him towards the door the other three had left through.
"No..." Kagome shook her head.
"Kagome, not here." Draco whispered over her own hushed words of denial.
"NO!" She yelled to Dumbledore who had just turned his back to her to follow Harry. He stopped in his tracks and looked towards her. "As many times as Harry has almost been killed by some deranged lunatic throughout the four years he's been attending this school, your first thought is that he put his name in that Goblet?! The rules were clear, Professor, YOU made the age line! Why do you think Harry would try to pass that line, or put his name in the Goblet, when he already has to try and survive the school year...without the worries of adding danger..." She stepped forward and despite the calculating eyes that Dumbledore was placing upon her, she continued, "Surely you don't expect me to believe, that a fourteen year old boy outwitted the great genius wizard Albus Dumbledore!"
And the room was silent. Severus was quick to take Kagome's cloak and drag her from the room before ushering Draco to follow, "Take her elsewhere and let her cool off!" He sneered angrily as he turned to return to Dumbledore and Harry.
Draco sighed, "You really did it this time, Kagome."
Kagome scoffed, "doesn't matter to me...someone put his name in that Goblet...the question is..."
"Who..." Draco finished in a soft whisper.
