Chapter 7: 1 Month Later & The Champions

It had been a month since Hermione and Cedric's first date. On their last date, Cedric had told he that he was going to enter the Tournament. "I'll be rooting for you!" she had said, kissing him on the cheek. Now, tonight, the delegates from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were arriving. Cedric was sitting with Hermione at theGryffindor table when the doors to the Great Hall burst open. Everyone watched as the Durmstrang students walked in. Behind her, Hermione heard Ron say, "I don't believe it! It's Krum! I had no idea he was still in school! Move over, Harry, c'mon, move! Damn!" Hermione laughed, then noticed that Krum sat at the Slytherin table. "Yeah, that's right, warm up to him, Malfoy." Ron said. Then, the doors burst open once again as the Beauxbatons students piled in. Hermione noticed that Ron was entranced by one of them. They all turned to the front as Dumbledore said, "Welcome, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang! We hope you will enjoy your stay here. The Goblet of Fire will be set up over night. If you wish to enter, put your name and school on a slip of paper, and put it in the goblet. For safety precautions, you may only enter if you are currently 17 years of age. An Age Line will be set up to reinforce this. The 3 champions will be chosen tomorrow during dinner. That is all."

Hermione looked at Cedric and noticed that he had a weird look on his face. Suddenly, he grabbed a scrap of paper and wrote:

Cedric Diggory, Hogwarts

Then, he got up, and, in front of everyone, put it in the goblet. He walked back, smiling. "Good luck!" Hermione said. Cedric smiled at her and kissed her.

The following evening...

Cedric was sitting at the Gryffindor table again, talking to Harry and Ron about Quidditch, when the Goblet of Fire suddenly lit up. Dumbledore got up and walked over to it. Everyone held their breath when the first slip flew out. "The champion for Durmstrang," Dumbledore said, "is Victor Krum!" The Durmstrang students burst out in appalause and whistled. Hermione clapped as Ron said, "No surprise there!" Everyone watched aas Victor walked into a room behind the Great Hall. The hall quieted down when the next slip flew out. "The champion for Beauxbatons is Fleur DelaCour!" (sp? I lost my book, so I'm not sure how you spell that.) As Fleur walked into the room, the 3rd slip of paper flew out. "The champion for Hogwarts," Dumbledore paused for effect, "is Cedric Diggory!" Cedric sat there, speechless. Hermione gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and said, "Go on, Cedric. They're waiting for you." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as he got up.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Excellent! Well, we now have our three champions. I am sure I can count on all of you, including Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering your champion on, you will contribute in a very real--"

Everyone looked puzzled at the goblet, which had just spit out another piece of paper. The hall was silent as Dumbledore cleared his throat and read out,

"Harry Potter."

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione and said, "I didn't put my name in. You know I didn't." They both just stared blankly at him. Harry slowly walked up to the door and walked in.

TBC...

Well? What do you think? Good? Needs more C/H action? The only scenes I won't do are sex scenes. Please R&R! I'll update when I can! I will also be someone's beta reader if they want me to be. I just won't do slash or sex scenes. Let me know! In the meantime, keep those reviews coming:)

ThankS!
