Ummm so I know this is REALLY late! I don't have many excuses except I suddenly received insanely hard Tae Kwon Do training for the upcoming New York State championships and I've been volunteering at a summer school for credits, so...

Not the best reasons.

Big thanks to my beta awesomeliciousness(did I spell that right?) for betaing this chapter for me so quickly on such a short notice.

Disclaimer: If I owned any of the anime/manga I like all of the hot guys would be running around shirtless and my OTPs(AllenXLenalee, HungaryXPrussia etc...) would have been together since the beginning of time.

Harry amusedly watched Allen stalk down the aisle wondering why he seemed so aggravated. Allen radiated an aura of pure irritation that had several students shivering and flinching away. He followed Allen with his eyes until he disappeared into the far doors and the applause died down. With Allen's exit finally came the moment of truth. A silence fell, a silence so stiff with excitement it was almost tangible. The Hogwarts champion was next. The Goblet of Fire turned red once more, sparks showered and the tongue of fire shot into the air the piece of parchment quickly caught by Dumbledore and...

"The Hogwarts champion," he called, "is Cedric Diggory!"

"No!" said Ron loudly, but nobody heard except Harry, the uproar from the next table was too great. Every single Hufflepuff had jumped to his or her feet, screaming and stamping. Cedric made his way past them grinning broadly, and headed off toward the chamber behind the teacher's table. Indeed, the applause for Cedric went on so long that it was some time before Dumbledore could make himself heard again.

The reaction from Harry's table particularly his section of it, hadn't lasted long and the only real noticeable reaction from the Rosa Crux students had been a barely discernible relaxation of their muscles and expressions and light applause. Harry frowned, yet another odd reaction to the chosen champion. First Lavi's slightly scary and unsettling gaze when Krum had been chosen, then Allen's reaction to himself being chosen and now how they had all seemingly been relieved of any worry they had been holding at Cedric being chosen. Had they been expecting something else? He was broken out of his thoughts by Dumbledore's thunderous voice.

"Excellent!" Dumbledore called happily as at last the tumult died down. "Well, we now have it three champions. I am sure I can count upon all of you, including the remaining students from Beauxbatons, Rosa Crux and Durmstrang to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering your champion on, you will contribute in a-" Suddenly the foreign students seated around him jerked up out of their semi-relaxed positions, their eyes flashing with shock and startling the Hogwarts students seated around them. Lavi's lips spread into a grim smile, "-very real-"

But Dumbledore suddenly stopped speaking, and it was now apparent to everyone what had distracted him and the Rosa Crux students, whose bodies were now tensely coiled springs with flashing eyes and gritted teeth. The fire in the goblet had just turned red again. Sparks were flying out of it. A long flame suddenly shot into the air, and borne upon it was another piece of parchment.

Lavi POV

Lavi lazily watched the parchment float down, small smile still spread across his face while he mentally berated himself inside. Why hadn't he considered the fact that their client -Harry- could've been entered in a separate school? He was losing his touch.

Gramps would be pissed.

Automatically, it seemed, Dumbledore reached out a long hand and seized the parchment. He held it out and stared at the name written upon it. There was a long pause, Eddie let out a resigned sigh and a small pout (with a quiet mutter about more work and why were wizards so troublesome), the rest of his friends with similar resigned expressions. Lavi felt his own lips twist into a larger smile. Of course... they just couldn't have a normal mission after all. Everyone in the room stared at Dumbledore his own bright green eye included.

Then Dumbledore cleared his throat-Ah but then what would this life be without these moments, right?- and read out-

"Harry Potter."

He closed his eyes and his smile spread out into a full-blown grin.

As an ending note I decided to take out a lot of the planned romance between Allen and Lenalee and no romance at ALL between Kanda and my OC Eliaya. It just won't work out with all the other things I have to fit in, I mean there are people who can do that and STILL make the story awesome but I don't think I have that talent.

This chapter would have been longer (it's insanely short right now) but I also had a near fatal case of writers block. As in I was so frustrated I was like, "To hell with this. THIS ISN'T WORTH IT!" and I almost abandoned the story...

Oh and btw 3Alaska3 as much as I appreciate you liking my horribly written story ony one PM would have been enough if u wanted an update. More than that is annoying and to put this as blunt as possible, believe it or not:

I DO have a life outside of ff. net.
