(Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-Great Hall-The next day)
Albus grabbed the piece of paper out of the air, he looked at it and looked back at the students "The Champion for Durmstrang is Victor Krum" the crowd burst into applause as Igor Karkaroff yelled "I knew you could do it Victor" "If the champion could go into the side room" Albus waved his hand over to the side room and Victor walked into it.
Albus waited for a minute before the goblet turned red and another piece of paper shot out, he quickly caught the piece of paper and read it, he looked up "The Champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour" most of the students fell into applause whereas a few of the Beauxbatons students started crying, Fleur stood up as Hermione whistled, she then walked into the side room with a smile.
Albus waited for a minute before the goblet turned red and another piece of paper shot out, he quickly caught the piece of paper and read it, he looked up "The Champion of Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory" the crowd burst into applause again as Cedric stood with a shocked look on his face, the twins stood "Cedric, Cedric, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can" the crowd burst into laughed as Cedric grinned at the twins before moving into the side room.
Albus clapped "Now that that has been sorted we can-" the Goblet of Fire flared red and another piece of paper shot out, Albus quickly caught it and looked on with barely concealed horror "Harry Potter" everyone started muttering and looking around but no one saw Harry "HARRY POTTER" again no one stood up, Minerva spoke "Albus, he isn't in Hogwarts, he's with his parents" the Goblet released a wave of energy before spitting out a large blob of blue flames, as it landed it dissipated revealing Harry, James and Lily Potter".
The three Potters realised that something was up, they looked around before turning to Albus "Albus, what the hell is going on?" everyone one looked at Lily Potter in shock "Harry's name has come out of the Goblet, it brought you here, can you take him into the side room? we will be there in a minute" Lily glared for a moment her eyes filled with fire before nodding.
She grabbed James hand and placed her other hand on Harry's shoulder before starting to walk towards the side room, as they got to the door, Lily looked over her shoulder and everyone shivered at the dark look on her face "If I find out which of you has placed my Son's name in that Goblet, I will make you beg for death" before she led her son and husband down into the side chamber, Albus gulped "I forgot how scary Lily could be" Snape snorted "I didn't".
(Hogwarts Great Hall-Side Room)
Harry walked into the room with his parents right behind him, Fleur noticed him and smiled "'Arry!" she rushed over and hugged him, he hugged her back, Cedric walked over "Hey Harry, what's up?" he looked at James and Lily "Mr and Mrs Potter" they smiled "Hello young man, who might you be?" Cedric grinned "Cedric Diggory Ma'am, a good friend of Harry's" Harry looked at his parents "He has been like a Big Brother since I got here".
Lily smiled "Thank you Mr Diggory, for looking out for my son" Cedric shook his head "It was no problem Lady Potter, Harry is a close friend, and virtually my Little Brother, I will always protect him, and it is Cedric" James smiled "Then it is James and Lily, or Prongs and Tigress" he turned to his son "And who is this young lady?" Harry blushed "Mum, Dad, meet Fleur Delacour" James' eyes widened and Lily gasped "Harry, is this?" Harry nodded.
Victor walked over "Hello Harry Potter, I hear you are good at flying" Harry tilted his head "I'm not sure about that, but I love to fly" Cedric chuckled and ruffled Harry's hair "He is being modest, he has only lost 1 game ever and that was due to Dementors" Harry blushed and Victor looked at him appraisingly. Lily frowned "Dementors? what the hell were Dementors doing at a Quidditch match?".
Harry frowned "They were here because of Sirius, everyone thought he was coming after me, I had to save him with a Patronus Charm at the end of the year" Lily's hand shook with rage, James grabbed Lily's hand "Come on Tigress, calm down, now Harry, show us this Patronus" Harry nodded and lifted his Wand "Expecto Patronum" a silver Dragon flew out of his hand and flew around the room before dissipating.
The Headmasters, Headmistress, Ministry Officials, Professor McGonagall, Professor Moody and Professor Snape walked into the room to see everyone looking at Harry in awe, Bagman smiled "Everyone, Meet the fourth Tri-Wizard Champion, Harry Potter" everyone looked at Bagman in disbelief "Surely, t'is is a Joke" Bagman shook his head with a grin "Nope, no joke, Harry's name came out of the Goblet".
Fleur's eyes turned to Harry who's hand was clenched, she walked int she was stood by his side again, she held his hand, Albus walked over "Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of fire?" that was when Mount St. Evens erupted. Lily glared "OF COURSE HE DIDN'T YOU FUCKING IDIOTS" everyone jumped and turned to Lily in shock "HOW COULD HE HAVE, WHEN HE HAS BEEN AT HOME SINCE THE GOBLET WAS LIT, YOU ALL SAW HIM LEAVE THE HALL WITH MINERVA, SO DON'T ASK HIM WHEN YOU ALREADY KNW THE FUCKING ANSWER, YOU STUPID FUCKING WANKERS".
Lily stood there breathing heavily glaring at them all, Karkaroff scoffed "Of course you vould defend him, you are his Mother" Lily had her Wand in her hand and was pointing it at Karkaroff's face before anyone could blink, she spoke in a dark tone "Do not take up that tone with me, Death Eater, I have killed over 20 of you in the past, I will not lose any sleep over you". Karkaroff gulped and stepped back, his face pale.
Severus stepped forward "Lily, can you please calm down?" Lily and James both looked at Severus and smiled "Hello Sev" "Hey Sevvy, how are you my friend?" Severus stared at James like he had two heads, Harry sighed "I haven't had a chance to remove the memory block from Uncle Sev yet" Lily nodded and pointed her Wand at Severus "Do you trust me?" Severus smiled "Always" Lily nodded "Perdere Obstructionum Memoriae".
Severus gripped his head in pain before blinking "Ow, next time I tell you to put a memory charm on me, remind me of this moment, I will definitely change my mind" James chuckled "How are ya Viper?" Severus grinned "Hello Prongs" he nodded at Lily "Hello Tigress" he looked at Minerva "Hello Aunt Minnie" Minerva's face changed from shock to outrage "Severus Snape, do not call me that" everyone could see her lips twitching though".
Harry looked at Severus's arm and walked over to him, he grabbed his arm and revealed the dark mark, he glared at it before holding out his hand "I call to Excalibur" the sword appeared in the air before falling into Harry's open hand. He carefully placed the tip of the sword blade against the Dark mark and everyone watched with interest as the Dark Mark was absorbed by the blade, the blade turned black before a shattering sound was heard and it turned to its original colour.
Harry nodded and return Excalibur to the pocket dimension before turning to the officials who got on one knee and bowed "My King" Harry winced "Crap, get up, and tell us what we have to do, the Tournament is a binding contract right?" the two got up and nodded, Crouch winced "It is my King, you have to compete or lose your magic, the first task will be on November 24th and the weighing of the Wands is a week before, you will not be told anything about your first task as it is a test of Daring and courage".
Harry nodded and turned to Madame Maxime [I apologise Madame, I did not expect this to happen, I thought this year would be different, I understand if you do not want anything to do with me after this] Madame Maxime shook her head [You seem like a polite young man, you saved Fleur, and the evidence is in your favour, please come round the carriage any time, you are welcome, I shall tell my students tonight] Harry nodded "Thank you" Madame Maxime nodded before turning to Fleur "Come Fleur, you can see him again tomorrow" Fleur nodded "Oui" before hugging Harry and leaving.
Harry turned to the two officials "Please, call me Harry, Potter or Mr Potter, I am fine with them finding out about my heritage at the task but not before" the two nodded before turning and talking to Dumbledore. Harry turned to Victor "It was nice to meet you Victor, I hope we get to talk again sometime" Victor nodded "I do as vell Harry Potter, I hope ve can be friends?" Harry nodded "Gladly" Victor nodded and left the room arguing with Karkaroff.
Albus turned to Harry and Cedric "You two had best get back to your Dorm rooms, I expect they will be waiting for you" he then turned to James and Lily "You two can use my Floo, but can you stay for a bit, I would like to talk to you?" they nodded "Of course Albus" Cedric and Harry walked out of the room, Cedric sighed "It happened again didn't it?" Harry nodded "The Halloween curse" the two continued to walk until they landed at the cross road to the two dorms.
Cedric turned to Harry "I'll explain everything to the Hufflepuffs, I promise, I'll try to make this year a bit easier on you Little Bro" Harry smiled "Thanks Big Bro, now I have to go and deal with Gryffindor" Cedric nodded and patted him on the shoulder before going off towards the Hufflepuff dorms. Harry took off towards the Gryffindor dorms, he quickly gave the password and was overwhelmed by applause.
Harry looked around the applauding Gryffindors to see a scowling Ron, Ginny, Neville, Fred and George, the first one to act surprised everyone "Shut up" everyone turned in shock to Neville who was seething "Do you really think that he entered? Are you all that fucking stupid?" they all had wide eyes "After the troll in first year, the Heir of Slytherin in second year and the dementors last year, do you really think that Harry wanted anymore fame or hate from this school, or for that matter anymore life or death situations?".
Neville walked up to Harry and placed a hand on his arm, he turned to the other Gryffindors "I stand behind Harry as I am his friend, what does that say about you all? who only see the Boy-Who-Lived" everyone stared at him in shock. Hermione and Ron walked over and stood by Neville and Harry, they smiled at Harry, the twin came over and stood behind him, the three chasers looked at each other and nodded, they walked up to him and smiled "Our Little Brother would never lie to us, we will stand by your Harry".
Harry nodded with tears in his eyes "Thank you, Katie, Alicia, Angelina" they nodded and stood beside the twins behind Harry, Harry looked over his friends before turning to the rest of Gryffindor "I didn't enter my name, I wasn't even in the school for the last day and a bit, so Support Cedric, he is the true Hogwarts Champion" and with that he walked up to his room and went to bed.
