Because of a little problem that occured, that was mostly my fault, I had a lot more spare time than usual, so I worked on the story a bit. Return of the Squib Son has now entered fifth year, something (from my search) has never been done before. I would like to take this time to thank each and every one of my loyal readers for their faithfulness, thank-you. Major things will happen this year, including the eye opener for the Wizarding World, so stay tuned. I do not own Harry Potter.


The whole Hall was silent. It took a few seconds to process what had just happened, but when he did, Harry turned towards his brother. Daniel sat with the Weasley brothers and all four were shocked at what had happened. Harry knew that his brother hadn't put his name in the Goblet; there had been a very public and embarrassing result to it. There was also the fact that Daniel's name didn't come out for Hogwarts, instead it was a fourth name, some school different than Hogwarts. Some very strange was going on around Hogwarts. It only took a few seconds, but soon the silence turned to angry buzzing. The other schools were clearly angry at Hogwarts getting two Champions and the other Houses were whispering about how Daniel got his name in.

Harry turned towards his mother, who was looking paler than a ghost. She kept shaking her head and mouthing what looked like no over and over. Daniel's face had slowly gone from shock to a neutral stance, still shocked and scared, yet happy about being chosen to be a part of the Tournament. The entire school watched him walk from the Gryffindor Table to the Top Table, glance at Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Potter, and then go through the doors the other Champions had gone through. A few seconds later and a very angry Madame Maxime and Professors Karkaroff and Snape followed Dumbledore, McGonagall, Moody, Lily, Bagman, and Crouch through the doors.

The moment the doors closed, the whispers grew to a great intensity. It took Professor Flitwick a few tries to get the Hall silent but once he did he dismissed everyone back to their dorms. On the way back, everyone was talking about how Daniel got his name in the Goblet. Harry silently thought about it. Daniel's shock was too great for him to have known about his name being entered, he could have asked an older student but that was risky and they might not have done it to better either their or a friend's chances. And again he was brought back to the four part, Daniel's name was not entered under the Hogwarts banner or he would have been picked as Hogwarts's Champion. He was probably place as a fourth champion because there was too much risk in putting his name under Hogwarts, as the only person under his own category, Daniel would have be picked for sure. Before going to bed Harry, Hermione, and Luna, like most of Ravenclaw house, continued to discuss Daniel's entrance. Both girls hadn't been very happy with Daniel, but after Harry brought up issue with Daniel's name coming out fourth, both agreed that something was up. A handful of people thought so too as they had been listening in because Harry was Daniel's brother and they thought he might have some information.

He was furious. His servant hadn't listened at all when he went over the plan and now the whole thing was messed up because the fool had placed the wrong name in the Goblet. Thinking back over the briefing he realized that some fault lied with him; he had only used the boy's name once or twice and had only called him 'the boy', or Potter. The servant, like the rest of the fools, had been led to believe that the boy's idiot brother was the one. However, now that he really thought of it, this just might work to his advantage. If the world still believed that the other boy was the Boy-Who-Lived he could still use him in the ritual and kill him off as planned. Everyone would be devastated at the loss of their so-called hero and only after the death of the real Brat-Who-Lived would he reveal the truth. Revenge would be sweet against the Potters and Dumbledore, but first he had to prepare, the wrong boy's blood would affect the ritual a bit differently than he had planned.

Harry awoke to a headache. His dream passed before his eyes again and only bits and pieces came back to him. He remembered that he was angry at someone for failing him but the failure would be turned around. For some reason, Daniel and blood were a part of it, but he didn't know what or how. There was something else, something about him, but the more he tried to figure it out, the more the dream faded from his memory. There was also something familiar about the dream, like he had had one before. Looking outside Harry saw that it was still dark out and resolved to figure it out later and went back to sleep.

The next couple of weeks were very interesting. Normally Daniel was the center of attention and admired by almost all of the school, now however, every house except Gryffindor seemed to hate him. The Slytherins never really liked him to begin with, Hufflepuff thought he was trying to steal their glory from Cedric, and most Ravenclaws thought he was just trying to get some more fame. The Slytherins of course had to go one step further in their hatred of Daniel by making badges that read SUPPORT CEDRIC DIGGORY—THE REAL HOGWARTS CHAMPION! Some of the badges could change to read POTTER STINKS! Everyone from Slytherin, most of the Hufflepuffs, and about half of the Ravenclaws wore the badges. Harry and his friends did wear them because they knew Daniel didn't put his name in, but they did show support for Cedric. Of course the Neo Marauders had to attack everyone who wore them but it was very difficult for them to target everyone. Daniel didn't help these thoughts very much by telling everyone around him how he was the youngest Triwizard Champion and would be the youngest winner of the Tournament ever, along with some of his other accomplishments. This included an article that came out in early November.

The Triwizard Tournament has returned to Hogwarts at last, writes Rita Skeeter, special correspondent to the Daily Prophet. Hogwarts's Champion is Britain's very much loved hero, the Boy-Who-Lived, Daniel Potter. It came as a large surprise when young Mr. Potter's name came out of the Goblet of Fire on Halloween. The Daily Prophet of course has gotten the chance to interview the Champion.

Daily Prophet: So, Mr. Potter, what made you decide to enter the Triwizard Tournament?

Daniel Potter: This is the best Tournament in existence, being held at the best school in the world; they would need the best champions to compete, and of course the best student was chosen to represent the best school.

DP: Mr. Potter, how did your name come out of the Goblet of Fire?

D P: I put my name, simple as that. Of course the Goblet would have chosen me to represent Hogwarts, who wouldn't?

DP: How do you feel about the tasks ahead of you? You do know that champions have died in the past do you?

D P: I know people in the past have died, but this year it's supposed to be much safer. I don't have to worry about dying because I'm Daniel Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived; I beat You-Know-Who when I was just a baby. I have nothing to fear in the Tournament; not the tasks and not my competitors, what chance do they have?

Does young Mr. Potter have what it takes to compete, does he seem over confident? Maybe, but he does have reason as he pointed out, he's the Boy-Who-Lived. Another reason his confidence is well founded is because he's the top student at Hogwarts, beating out his unknown and Ravenclaw brother Harvey Potter. However, poor Mr. Potter's confidence seems to lose out at love because his young love interest Miss Ginevra Weasley has ignored all of his advances and, according to some, been playing with the boy's heart by feigning interest.

Since the article came out, Ginny had been getting a large amount of angry letters about her so call leading on every day at breakfast, including a couple of Howlers from her mother telling her to just 'go out with the poor boy'. She was also starting to become an outcast within Gryffindor because of it and because she, along with Neville, were the only Gryffindors who didn't support Daniel. She was also getting attacked by other girls who wanted Daniel for themselves. Harry had overheard a conversation between her and Daniel, with him promising to protect her from everyone if she would be his girlfriend. This was before he was sent to the hospital wing with a very nasty Bat-Bogey Hex from Ginny's wand.

Harry wasn't too concerned with his brother's or Ginny's love life, he had his own to work with. Ever since returning to Hogwarts Harry had spent a lot of time with Lisa Turpin, usually talking or working on homework together. Now Harry had finally plucked up the courage to ask her on a date to Hogsmeade. The next trip also happened to be her birthday, a plus for Harry. Lisa couldn't have said 'yes' fast enough and had almost squealed when he asked her. Harry and Neville spent days preparing for the date, Neville had one of his own but he was keeping it a secret, Harry even went to his mother for advice. Finally the day arrived and Harry met Lisa in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Both were dressed for the weather and Lisa hung onto Harry's arm the entire walk to the village. Harry bought her some chocolate from Honeydukes and a new book from Tomes and Scrolls before finishing their date at the Three Broomsticks. As they were leaving, they were stopped by a tall witch in emerald robes, curled hair, and jeweled spectacles that started calling Harry Daniel. Once corrected the woman, who identified herself as Rita Skeeter, tried to ask all sorts of questions about Harry, Daniel, and their relationship, but was stopped by the appearance of Daniel himself. Skeeter immediately ran off to interview him and left Harry and Lisa alone.
