Chapter five
Quadroplewizard tournament?
Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter, but I have the book!
By this time we'll almost know who're the champions for the Triwizard Tournament!
We're all packed in the Great Hall anxiously waiting for the Goblet of Fire to see who're going to compete.
I half hope that I'm chosen but I also half hope that I'm not chosen as a Hogwarts Champion.
"Hurry up!" yelled Timothy… good thing no one heard it except me.
"I hope it's you, Cedric… the best Triwizard Champion in History!" said Timothy.
This time many people heard it… I was embarrassed and said, "Don't— ever!"
Everyone became silent as they watched the Goblet of Fire's flames turned red… then out came a small piece of parchment.
Dumbledore caught it and said, "The Durmstrang Champion is – Viktor Krum!"
"No surprises there!" Timothy yelled as we all cheered for him. Krum then slipped away.
Out came another piece of parchment, which was like a fan and Dumbledore said, "The Beauxbatons Champion is – Fleur Delacour!"
Again, most of the boys turned to her and clapping and cheering and staring at her like crazy!
I thought, "Here we go again!" Then Fleur slipped away.
This time it's the Hogwarts Champion… oh man! I gulped and waited for the piece of parchment.
A piece of parchment flew to Dumbledore… he said, "And the Hogwarts Champion is – .."
Now I'm feeling queasy… oh man! Come on hurry up now!
"is… Cedric Diggory!"
All the Hufflepuff students stood and applauded.
I felt mighty proud and stood up. Timothy pushed me and cheered and gave me a thumbs-up.
I went to the staff table and slipped away.
There are neat stuff here in this room… clocks, golden clocks, some golden stuff and many interesting ones.
I looked around and thought, maybe they should be here by now… or maybe they're still telling them … what?
After a few minutes, Harry Potter went in and just stood there saying nothing.
I blinked at the sight of him, why's he here?
Fleur asked Harry, "What iz it? Are wee supozed to go zer?"
Harry said nothing… what I was curious about is why he's here and all?
I was almost going to ask that to him when Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch, Bagman, Moody, and all the other people in the staff came rushing in.
Dumbledore asked Harry sternly, "Did you put your name in that Goblet?"
Harry said, "no!"
I understood… he's the fourth champion? He's even underage! How can he compete? And how did he cross the age line?
Mr. Crouch said, "I'd say that the Goblet's power is absolute… we must let him compete, Lady and gentlemen… Meet your fourth champion… Harry Potter!"
I stood there politely bewildered.
Fleur was enraged, "How can zis be? Two 'Ogwarts Champions? Zis is unfair!"
The big giantess, Madame Maxime said, "I absolutely agree wid my dear, Fleur."
"But we couldn't do anything now, Madame Maxime," said Dumbledore.
Moody suggested, "Someone older than Harry could have put his name in there and used a Confundus charm to conjure his name!"
I thought Moody's idea was right, it might be a possibility… however, I'm not sure and why and who?
Dumbledore said, "I'm not really sure that's applicable but I'm sorry that's no use, Alastor."
Moody grunted but just stood there.
After that, I asked Harry, "hey, did you put that name in the Goblet?"
Harry said, "No, I wouldn't want too, and besides, I'm still underage!"
I said, "Ahh, ok, bye then!" I didn't know if I could believe him or not…
I ran to Timothy and we both went to the Common Room.
"That Potter's so witty to put his name in that Goblet to outrun you, eh?" he said through clench teeth. "Well, I'll show him!"
"You don't have to!" I said. "He might have but please… don't make any more thing worse for him... he's still 14 and we're 17… just pretend it didn't happen and all."
He still grumbled and insulted Harry.
I thought, well, anyway, I'm sure I'll win… he's still young and I'm older than him… I'll beat him again.
No! He even defeated You-Know-Who… how am I supposed to win?
I shook my head with all the thoughts in my mind.
The next day, there were people wearing badges: Support Cedric Diggory, the real Hogwarts Champion!
Then it would change into: Potter Sucks!
I thought that it's hurtful for Harry.
I also saw Timothy wearing it!
"Timothy! Don't wear it, please!" I said. "You can support me but please also don't make things worse for him!"
Timothy ignored me and said, "I don't care what you say but I can't let that Potter boy win!"
I sighed and just shrugged. I can't say anything anymore.
Malfoy was on top of a tree talking to Harry and wearing the badge.
He was taunting him and he told Harry, "I think you wouldn't even have the 10 seconds there in the Tournament!"
Harry was embarrassed, I could tell. Professor Moody then went to face Malfoy and said something which I couldn't hear.
Then Professor Moody turned him into. A. Ferret!
We all gathered around and laughed. Malfoy was like the Hogwarts bully because he thinks he's king of Slytherin…
Now I can think of a name for him "King of the Ferrets!"
I was laughing so hard I couldn't see that McGonagall was there and reprimanding Moody about transfiguring Malfoy into a ferret.
McGonagall turned the ferret into Malfoy again.
Then Malfoy kissed the ground and kissed McGonagall's shoe to thank her and to thank that he's still alive.
I stifled a laugh.
Timothy almost fainted with laughter.
McGonagall went to Timothy then I stopped laughing.
McGonagall said, "Timothy… that is utterly despicable!"
Timothy did a baby face and distorted his face into a pleading dog waiting for dog food.
McGonagall was pissed off, I can tell. She finally said, "Detention in my office, 7:00 p.m.! You're already 7th year and you don't know how to be responsible!"
Timothy stuck his tongue out at her as she stormed away.
"At least she didn't get points from our House!" I said. "Yeah, then make me suffer!" he glared at me and fumed away.
Oh well… I couldn't control anybody but whenever he turns his back on me, I feel like a lost a thought in my mind.
Tomorrow, I know that we would be friends again.
I'm sure that would happen….
What's in store for me in the First task?
I don't know… I'd better prepare… can anyone please tell me what it would be like!
