Chapter 2 -

Harry looked around the hall, it was fairly impressive. It was a big hall with an enchanted ceiling, it fit with the castle and magical theme that was going on. He looked at the people, he recognised the Hogwarts students would be her but he was surprised to find students from Drumstrang and Beuaxbaton here. He could tell that the others with were looking around as well.

Eventually his eyes stopped on Dumbledore, they narrowed briefly before he corrected them. He put a smile on his face and walked forwards, his friends walking right behind him.


Hagrid, the half giant game keeper and Hogwarts care of magical creatures professor, was in shock at seeing Harry Potter here. The last time he had seen the lad was when Professor Dumbledore had told him to bring him to number four Privet Drive, he remembered handing the boy over to Dumbledore when he got there then left just like Dumbledore ordered. After all who was he to question Dumbledore?

Dumbledore was a great man, so Hagrid was pretty sure that he knew what he was doing. Though Hagrid did have doubts, doubt that have resurfaced.


Minerva McGonagall, transfiguration teacher along with Gryffindor head of house and deputy head, gasped as she looked at Harry Potter, he looked exactly like his father. His father, James Potter was her favourite student along with Lilly Evans who would eventually become his wife. As he looked at Harry Potter she saw that he had his father's face and hair but those eyes clearly belonged to his mother. She had no doubt that this was the genuine Harry Potter.

She glanced to her colleague Professor Flitwick, who was the Ravenclaw head of house and the charms teacher, she saw him also making the connection. After all the boy's mother was his favourite student and would've done her mastery with his help if not for the war.


Professor Snape, head of Slytherin house along with potions master and moot hated teacher in Hogwarts, sneered at the group. He didn't like the way that they all dressed like filthy muggles and he definitely did not like the boy who was the apparent leader of the group. It was bad enough having one Potter in the school, now he had to deal with a second. The boy looked just as arrogant and cocky as his father and brother before him.

What Lily saw in James Potter he would never know, he was convinced that he had tricked her into it somehow, there was no way his angel Lily would chose Potter over him just so he could bring more of those brats into the world. He looked at the other companions though his eyes briefly became stuck on the girl with the violet eyes, those eyes seemed familiar. He didn't recognise the other two, but the boy...the one with the red eyes. He would recognise those red eyes anywhere, if he was right then Dumbledore had likely recognised them too.


Daphne Greengrass watched as Harry Potter and his...friends? She would go with friends for now, began walking towards the centre of the hall. She, like the rest of the hall, noticed that they were wearing muggle clothes, not that she had a problem with that, she often wore muggle clothes at home, not at school though. She studied him as he walked, he walked with a confidence, but one that was different from Malfoy or the other Potter. When those two walked they gave off a 'look at me, I'm better than you' vibe.

This new Potter gave off a 'I know that I am better than you and I don't need to prove it' vibe. It was like looking at a tiger walk in a room full of kittens, she wondered if he had the brains and power needed to back it up. His friends walked the same way but it was clear that he was the leader of this little group. Both the girls he was with were very pretty and she wondered if one of them was his girlfriend. That would make conversations between them a whole lot more awkward.

She saw him look around the hall as he walked, then without warning he looked in her direction. She froze for a second, thinking about how to play this when he sent her a smile and a small wink, at least she thought it was directed at her. Though apparently quite a few others thought it was directed at them as well, judging by the increased whispering and blushing.

She herself had just barely managed to not blush, something that appeared to have amused him judging by the slight growth of his smile but she didn't get to see more as he looked away.

Daphne's opinion of her fiancée so far: not bad.


Harry glanced around as he walked down the hall, his eyes had stopped on one particularly good looking blonde girl who he caught staring at him. He sent her a charming smile and a wink, her cheeks became slightly pink but apart from that she didn't react much. Harry liked it, it felt like a challenge. He turned his head back and began focusing.

"Hello," Dumbledore said to the group as they approached. "it is a pleasure to meet you, I am..."

"What's up man?" Harry interrupted. "Sorry but we're not buying anything." He said as he patted Dumbledore on the arm and walked around him, along with his friends, much to the disbelief of everyone else as Dumbledore was widely considered to be the strongest and best light wizard alive yet the brother of the boy-who-lived had just treated him like an old man trying to sell sweets.

Harry looked at the goblet of fire and began walking around it.

"Is that why we're here?" The red eyed boy asked.

"Let's find out Red." Harry replied as he stopped. "Why are we here?" He asked the hall.

"Mr Potter," Barty Crouch spoke. "your name has come out of the goblet of fire."

"Does he meant that thing?" The blue eyed boy asked.

"I believe so Ryan." Harry nodded. "Continue." He said to Barty Crouch.

"Yes, well your name has come out of the goblet and that means you must compete in the tri-wizard tournament." He explained.

"But Harry didn't enter his name." Ryan, the blue eyed boy, said.

"Yeah," Red, the red eyed boy nodded. "he couldn't have, we weren't even in the country until just now."

"I'm sorry, but who are you all?" Albus Dumbledore asked as he glanced between them all.

"That's Violet," Harry pointed towards the girl with the violet eyes, he then pointed towards the other girl "she is Rose. Red eyes over there is called Red, the other one is called Ryan and you all clearly know me as Harry Potter. And like Red said, we weren't even in the country until recently."

"Where were you?" Dumbledore asked.

"In America." Harry answered and the hall burst into whispers and gossip.

"I...see." Dumbledore said slowly as he stroked his beard. "Perhaps it's best if you go into the champions chamber so we can discuss things in private?" Dumbledore said as he gestured to the champions chamber, he and the rest of the hall watched as Harry Potter and his friends began looking at each other, the group appeared to be having a silent conversation as no words were being said. Eventually Harry turned back to Dumbledore and nodded.

"Very well sir." Harry nodded, he walked towards the chamber with his friends following behind him.

"Mr Potter, the chamber is for champions only." Dumbledore called out.

"Bowling champion, three years in a row." Ryan said out loud as the group continued walking.

"That is not what I meant." Dumbledore replied, he was about to say more but the group had already gone into the chamber.


Adrian Potter was feeling very awkward, he was wondering what was taking so long. He had tried talking to the other champions but that was hard to do, one of the reasons for that was because of the fact that Krum barely spoke at all, another was that he was barely resisting the urge to stare at the French girl and also because Cedric Diggory didn't like him. He had also tried to explain that he didn't enter this tournament, unfortunately he wasn't able to convince them so he had just settled into silence.

The silence was suddenly broken as a group made up of five people came in, they looked about his age give or take a year, he barely had time to take in their appearance. When he saw the two foreign champions rush towards them and he was very surprised when the two began hugging the group and conversing with them.

"It is so good to see you all!" The French champion, Fleur Delacour, said in a delighted voice that was made better by the French accent.

"And a good evening to you." Ryan said as he delicately took her hand and brought it up so he could plant a soft kiss on her knuckles.

"Does someone have a crush?" Violet asked with an amused look on her face, one that increased as Fleur blushed when she took her hand away while Red scowled at Rose who was giggling from behind him.

"Vat are you all doing here?" Krum asked curiously.

"Apparently I'm in this tournament." Harry shrugged.

"But you're not part of any of the schools." Fleur frowned.

"Forget that, we weren't even in the country at the time." Ryan replied. "Now I know Harry's good and all but somehow managing to enter his name into a tournament on an entirely different continent without being there...is something that he could probably pull off now that I think about it...but we basically didn't know about it until a few minute ago."

"I'm sorry but who are you?" Cedric Diggory asked as he and Adrian Potter walked up to the group.

"My name's Ryan," Ryan said introducing himself, he then began introducing the others. "that's Red with the red eyes, that's Violet and I'm sure you can guess what colour her eyes are. The other girl is Rose and the green eyed wonder over here is Harry Potter."

"Potter?!" Adrian blurted out. "What are we related?"

"Who the hell are you?" Red frowned.

"I'm Adrian, Adrian Potter, the boy-who-lived." Adrian said. "So are you a Potter? Are we related?" None of them got much of a chance to respond thanks to the judges (Barty Crouch, Ludo Bagman and the three headmasters) coming back in along with Alastor Moody who was the new defence teacher, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. "Sir, am I related to this guy?" Adrian asked as he pointed at Harry.

"Yes Adrian," Dumbledore sighed. "he is your twin brother."

"What?!" Adrian blurted out in shock as he stared at Harry.

"You two don't look alike." Rose frowned.

"Since when did I have a twin brother?!"

"My guess would be around the time you were born." Harry replied. "Maybe even a few months before that."

"Dumbledore," Karkaroff, the Drumstrang headmaster spoke. "it is not fair for Hogwarts to have two champions."

"Indeed," Madam Maxime, the Beuaxbaton headmistress nodded in agreement. "we should be allowed to have another champion.2

"There's a slight flaw in your logic." Violet replied.

"And what would that be?" Karkaroff sneered at her.

"Harry isn't a Hogwarts's student." Red said as he glared at Karkaroff. "Keep looking at my sister like that and I'll rip your eyes out."

"There will be no need for threats," Dumbledore said before anyone else could say anything. "now Mr Potter, you've been living in America all of this time?"

"For the most part," Harry nodded. "but we travel a lot. Anyway, this tournament of yours, I'm not competing in it."

"But you must." Barty Crouch said.

"Hmm, pretty sure I don't." Harry said with a small shake of his head. "What about you guy?" Harry asked his friends.

"Pretty sure he doesn't." They all said at the same time.

"Oh great, another arrogant Potter." Severus Snape drawled, bring the attention of the room to himself. "I see you much like your father and brother are under the impression that you are better than everyone."

"Not everyone, I mean definitely you but not everyone." Harry replied with a small smile. "May I have the displeasure of knowing your name?"

"I am Severus Snape you spoilt brat!" Snape snapped.

"Yes, as you can see we are much richer than you." Harry said as he gestured to himself and his friends.

"That's why we can afford shampoo." Red added, referring to Snape's hair.

"Do not talk to me like that you..."

"Or what?" Violet cut Snape off. Snape growled and removed his wand but didn't get very far since he found four wands pointed at him. Violet, Red and Rose had their wands aimed at his face while Harry had his aimed at Snape's genitals.

"That will be enough!" Dumbledore said in a firm voice. "Severus put your wand away." Dumbledore ordered, Snape glared at the group but did put his wand away. "You all as well." Dumbledore said to the group.

The group all looked towards Harry, it was clear that they were following his orders here. Harry looked towards the group, he gave a small nod and they all lowered their wands.

"Tell me sir," Ryan said to Dumbledore. "are all of your teachers in the habit of attacking students?"

"No, no they are not." Dumbledore said.

"So is he the only one allowed to do it then?" Violet asked as she pointed at Snape.

"Yeah," Rose nodded. "he verbally insulted Harry and he was the first to draw his wand. What's his punishment?"

"You little..." Snape started only to be cut off.

"Professor Snape!" McGonagall interrupted, she then turned to Dumbledore. "The children are right Albus."

"Now, now I'm sure that this isn't necessary." Dumbledore said.

"Really?" Harry asked. "Because it sounds to me like you're trying to say that it's alright for him to insult and assault us. If that's the case then I'm sure you won't object if we did the same."

"Very well," Dumbledore sighed. "I will reprimand Professor Snape later, but for now we need to focus on the tournament. Now Mr Potter, since your name has come out of the goblet of fire it has formed a magically binding contract. You must compete or you will lose your magic."

"You idiots select tournament participants with something that could basically kill them?!" Violet blurted out with disbelief, it was well known that if a wizard lost his magic then he would die.

"It seems like drawing names out of a hat is too fancy for them." Harry commented. "Either that or any safer way of doing so is not entertaining enough. Whatever," Harry added when Dumbledore looked like he was about to interrupt. "me and my friends are tired, perhaps you could just hurry up and explain everything so we could leave."

Barty Crouch began explaining the rules while Snape bit back several comments he was tempted to make. After it was all done, Harry and his group walked out of the room.

"I can't believe this bullshit." Red said to the group.

"I know, being entered into a tournament when he's on the other side of the world." Ryan nodded in agreement.

"I don't see what the problem is." Rose shrugged. "It's not like Harry's going to lose, is it?"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Harry laughed.

"Anytime." Rose gave him a bright smile.

"Uh...guys." Violet said, she gestured around and reminded them that the whole of the great hall was staring at them.

"Uh...hi." Harry said awkwardly.


A.N: Hi, sorry the chapter's short but the next one will be longer, promise.
