Chapter 9: Me, A Champion
As Harry walked around the room with the other champions, his adoptive father bursted into the room. His adoptive mother close at her husband's heels.
Dumbledore backed Harry up against the shelves. Some items were digging into his back.
"Albus." McGonagall said, trying to calm down her husband.
"Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbledore asked. Terror and worry filled his blue eyes.
Harry shook his head. He was scared as well. He thought he was in trouble for something he didn't do.
"No sir."
"You're absolutely sure that you didn't get one of the older kids to do it for you."
"Dad, I don't want any part of this." Harry admitted.
Dumbledore backed away to talk to Crouch. McGonagall walked up to Harry to check on him. He wasn't harmed, just shooken up.
"Mum please." Harry said, waving McGonagall off.
Cedric and the others were smiling.
"Potter has no choice. I'm sorry, Albus. He is henceforth known as a champion."
