ANNABETH POV

Two evenings later, we were sitting at the Griffindor table in the Great Hall, waiting for the results of who would become a champion.

Yesterday had been chaotic with everyone wanting to put their names in.


"Only people over 17 can enter," Dumbledore had said." The only exception is for Olympia, where everyone can enter if they wish."

"That's not fair!" Ron had grumbled.

"Oh yeah," Leo tried," 'coz I came back to life after grappling with Giant Dirt-Faced Lady and I'm standing here today. Completely fireproof."

Ron scooted back.


"The Goblet of fire shall now choose the champions!" Dumbledore announced.

A tension arose from all the students.

"The champion for Durmstrung is... VICTOR KRUM!"

An array of cheering came- not only from Durmstrung- but a considerable amount of Hogwarts pupils.

A blue light flashed from the cup.

"The champion for Beaxbatons is... FLEUR DELACOUR!"

Some students worthy of Aphrodite herself burst into fits of hysterics.

Another flash of blue light.

" Um. May I ask who put their names in Ancient Greek?" Dumbledore asked.

"It was Valdez's idea!" Jason yelled.

"Well in that case, the Olympia champion is... PERSEUS JACKSON!"

No surprises there.

"Now. In a month there will be the champions first challeng-"

Another blue light. A piece of crumpled paper flew up and was automatically caught by the headteacher.

"The fifth Hogwarts champion is," he sighed," Harry Potter."
