Chapter Two

Disclaimer – I forgot this last time. I do not own anything from Harry Potter; I am merely a fan who wishes that she had come up with this before JK did.

The door leading from the great Hall opened once again and a boy that Fleur recognized to be Harry Potter, the boy who lived, stood in the doorway. He took a few tentative steps towards them, obviously distressed about something.

"What is eet? Do zey want us back in ze hall?" She asked. The question had come out sounding a lot harsher and a lot more demanding than she had meant it to. Harry didn't say anything, he merely stared at the three of them when Ludo Bagman came rushing up behind him, grasping him by the arm muttering words like 'Amazing' and 'Extraordinary'.

Ludo noticed the three occupants of the room and addressed them politely before going on to reveal the most absurd thing that Fleur had ever heard of. She laughed it off, declaring that it was a joke as she watched Krum simply staring at Harry while Cedric was looking shocked. Ludo went on to confirm that Harry Potter really and truly was the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

Fleur's eyes dashed back and forth from Harry to Ludo. Harry was clearly in a state of shock, he hadn't said a word since he'd arrived. Somewhere deep inside of her, she felt a twinge of sympathy for the younger student but it was quickly overridden by the surge of anger that she felt. Suddenly her name coming out of the Goblet didn't seem as important as it first had done. There had evidently been a mistake and mix up with Harry's name and she couldn't help but wonder what if the same had happened with her. What if Antoinette was to come back here and say that she too was the second champion for Beauxbatons?

She also realized that there was a greater chance of Hogwarts winning the whole competition now. Fleur had been so certain that she would be able to compete and easily beat Krum with her wit and intelligence. Cedric was still a bit of a shock to her, but Harry Potter? The boy had apparently survived and attack from 'He who shall not be named'. There was absolutely no way she would stand a chance against him. So when she saw the teachers coming into the room, she resorted to the last thing she could think of, complaining to Madame Maxime. So she had, she had stomped over to her the minute she saw her enter.

Cedric walked with Harry after the champions had been told the date of the first task. He had asked him how he had got over the age line. Harry had told him that he hadn't put his name into the Goblet. Cedric looked at him skeptically but decided to humor him before they parted with each other. As he entered his own common room, the cheers erupted from within. Several of his friends came up to congratulate him along with several other people that he didn't normally talk to. The party had gone well into the night with only a few having gone off upstairs even by two o'clock. Cedric was waiting for an excuse to escape; he wanted time to think the tournament over. Four champions? He knew that never before in history had the ever been four champions. He didn't feel resentment towards Harry; he knew that so many people had tried to put their names in the goblet. It wasn't Harry's fault that he was the only one who had managed it while being underage.

"You lucky git!" Sean Harvey, a close friend of Cedric's had said while punching him lightly on the arm. He started with the contact, waking him from his day-dream.

"Sorry?" Cedric asked, glancing at the clock while yawning. It read two-thirty; he would soon have to find a decent excuse so that he could retire to his room and fall asleep, he could ponder the question of the extra champions in the morning, perhaps while practicing his flying.

"I said you deaf so and so, 'you lucky git!'"

Cedric looked at him blankly not bothering to ask why he was a lucky git, nor why he had been insulted for no apparent reason.

"The girl!" Sean cried, "You know that Deledor chick! The Veela!"

"Fleur Delacour?" Cedric asked. Sean nodded, grinning at his friend. Sean had been particularly taken with Fleur from the moment she had arrived. He had acted like every other of his male friends, immaturely. His jar had dropped and he had immediately been taken in by her charm, yet he still could not find the time or effort to learn her name, he had referred to her as the 'Veela' or the 'Deledor chick' since September.

"What about her?" he asked tiredly not wanting another one of Sean's rants about how he was going to ask her out in time for the first Hogsmeade trip.

"You get to work with her, you know like everyday! You don't think perhaps you could-"

"No!" Cedric asked, his eyes widening at the thought of having to ask yet another girl out for Sean, "Listen, she'd a snobby and stuck up, you don't want to go out with her."

"My gosh, did we actually here Cedric Diggory, Mr. Fair and Square who prides himself on giving everybody a chance be rude about someone, and not just someone, a girl!" Sean cried in mock surprise and outrage.

"I gave her a chance and I don't like her."

"Still! Snobby and stuck up eh?"

As soon as she and Madame Maxime had made their way back to the Beauxbatons carriage, she had politely excused herself from the celebrations taking place in her honor, telling her friends that she needed to catch up on some sleep she had lost. In truth she just wanted to lie down and think about the disaster that had occurred that evening. She was one of four champions, not three, four. It just wasn't right, nor fair, she was supposed to be one of three champions. She was supposed to have a fair chance at winning this tournament, and now with her three competitors being male, Fleur was having a hard time picturing herself holding the Cup.

A/N – This is very short and I am so sorry for that. I just wanted to post this and perhaps maybe work on the next chapter in time for tomorrow. Two chapters in two days is a record for me and I am extremely pleased with myself. My inspiration is at it's highest at the moment and I am thrilled.

Please review.

Thanks to those who did for the last chapter, Sequ3stered, lara and abby. Your reviews mean the world to me.
