The next morning we had our first DADA class with the new professor alastor moody who said he was here because Grandpa asked him too . Well yes he hires the teachers so of course he would ask I was more interested in this guys time as an araour I hoped he would tell us something about it.
Hermione's POV
I wasn't sure about this new DADA teacher he seemed off but I listened as he taught his lesson On unforgivable curses he had just done the imperius curse before moving on he had picked Neville who told him about the cruciatus curse the spider screamed in agony and i could see Neville was in pain I had enough "stop it ! Can't you see it's bothering him? Stop it !"he did only to walk up to me setting the spider down on my desk "perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curses , miss lupin ." I shook my head knowing Harry was watching he wasn't really going to do it was he just as I thought that i saw the flash of green come from his wand hitting and killing the spider instantly I looked away as he continued talking "the killing curse only one person is known to have survived it and he's sitting in this room . Shortly after we were dismissed I was so angry "he's insane"Ron said jokingly Harry hummed in agreement "what do you think hermione ?"
"I think he balmy is what I think . There's a reason those curses are unforgivable and to perform them in a classroom I ought to go tell the headmaster . "
"Calm down Hermione " Harry said "the headmaster approves curriculum plans before term so Grandpa Al approved this plan ." I huffed . Walking away and heading to my next class the week had gone on much the same all my other classes were fine except for defense luckily I had only had it one other time this week and before too long it was time for the names to be picked for the tournament afternoon classes had been cancelled so most of the students went to watch people put their names in the Goblet . I decided to read . I looked up when the twins came in talking about a potion they had made to 'trick' the age line . "It's not going to work " I taunted "oh yeah and why's that lupin ."
"You see this this is an age line Dumbledore drew it himself ."
"So ." Fred said . I closed my book a bit annoyed
"So..a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a Dodge as simple and dimwitted as an aging potion ."
"But that's why it's so brilliant -."
"-because it's so pathetically dimwitted ." The twins chimed before standing up ready to try they both took the potion before stepping over the age line "yes " they cheered placing their names in but it didn't last long before they were knocked backwards and the potion turned them old . They had started fighting I shook my head as I sat back down to read my book before everyone stopped talking I looked up as Victor krum came in he placed his name in cut his eyes to me and left it was a bit chilling . When the clock struck 7 everyone was gathered in the Great Hall for the selection "everyone please sit " the headmaster said "now the moment you've all been waiting for the champion selection ." He waved his hand and the Goblet appeared changing it's fire color from blue to a reddish color before producing a name . "The durmstrang champion is Viktor krum ." /span/p

Producing Fleur delacour's name much like viktors everyone cheered as she went to the room . And now it was time for the Hogwarts champion . Which had been Cedric diggory we all cheered I had seen Cedric around the library a few times but didn't really know him all that much but better him than me or worse Harry . Once the three were chosen Dumbledore had shown the prize the Triwizard cup it was pretty but I could see uncle sev looking back at the cup it began to change colors again before it shot out two more names Grandpa Al picked up the cards " Harry Snape and Hermione lupin ." I looked towards Harry we both shook our heads lowering ourselves further into our seats "Harry ...Hermione?"
"HARRY SNAPE AND HERMIONE LUPIN!" I grabbed Harry's hand as we stood slowly heading down where Grandpa Al was he handed us our cards we walked past them past our classmates "their cheats " someone screamed . Grandma min out her hand on our shoulder once we got there the other champions looked at us weird "is something wrong ."Cedric asked . We could hear yelling coming from above as the other headmaster's and some professors came down "Harry , Hermione ." Grandpa yelled basically running towards us
"Did you put your names in the Goblet of fire ?"
"No sir " Harry said I shook my head I was crying I didn't want this " ask one of the older students to do it for you again Harry said no while I cried shaking my head . "Albus your scaring them stop ." He stopped before madame Maxine interrupted "But of course they are lying ."
"The hell they are!" Uncle sev said "The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object . Only an exceptionally powerful charm could have fooled it magic way beyond that of two fourth years ." Professor moody had said I wiped away my tears Dumbledore looked to mr. Crouch "I leave this to you Barty 'what ' I thought he's gonna let the ministry decide our fate "the rules are clear , the Goblet of fire constitutes a binding magical contract. They both have no choice as of tonight they are both Triwizard champions . They had sent the other champions to bed before discussing the matter some more and finally once everyone else had gone we had gone to the headmaster's quarters with uncle sev. Harry and I slept in a spare room .
Severus POV
I had just tucked in my son and niece who fell right off to sleep gently closing the door to hear mother talking "this can't go on Albus...first the dark mark now this ?"
"What do you suggest, Minervia ?"
"Put an end to it . Don't let them compete !"
"You heard Barty the rules are clear ."
"The devil with Barty and his rules . Since when do you accommodate the ministry ?"
"I find it odd to however if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events perhaps we should for the time being let them unfold ." I said using my best monotone voice "WHAT? Do nothing this is your niece and son Severus .they are children albus. "
"I agree...with Severus ….sev I'm sure you can keep an eye on them and don't let them know though they're already anxious enough as it is ."
