Harry sits down with his friends and Minho, he looks at Katniss to see her breathing deeply, her eyes closed and her mouth moving but no words come past her lips. Was this about…the hunger games thing? With what she went through with them? But either way, Harry just wants a peaceful year where no one will try to kill him, Voldemort or otherwise.
He sits patiently, it's been a few weeks since Dungstrum and Beauxbatons have arrived and now they were finally about to find out who the champions are, Harry still hasn't told the new professors about his past, but they have told him a little of theirs, even Professor Morningstar has taught him some piano stuff, Katniss taught him a little survival skills, like setting traps for animals, Owen (he still insist to be called by his first name only) has taught him more of the dinosaurs, he still hasn't met Blue's baby, Beta or his own family, Minho gets him running in the morning with him and David, has taught him some hand to hand combat and soon he'll be teaching him how to throw a knife.
But for now, he is looking forward to finding out who the champions are, he has a feeling it will be Cedric.
After Dumbledore went into a speech, the goblet started to burn, then a piece of paper came out of the goblet, ashes around it but Dumbledore caught it in his hand.
"The champion for Durmstrange will be….Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore read in a loud, clear voice.
Everyone cheered, Harry saw Viktor Krum move from the Slytherin's table, he slouches up to Dumbledore, takes the paper and heads into the next chamber, probably where the champions are going to be told of the first task.
"Bravo, Viktor, knew ye had it in you!" boomed Karkaroff so loudly that they even could hear over the clapping and cheering.
Harry looks at the professors, Professor Morningstar smirks and whispers something to Owen, which makes him laugh. He wonders what professor Morningstar said to him.
Then the goblet went off, it is the girl from Beauxbatons that Ron seems to have a crush on, Harry suppose she must be smart and quick enough to enter the tournament, but he didn't miss Katniss's face, he wonders why. Maybe she reminds her of her sister or something like that.
Then soon and finally it was Hogwart's turn to have their champion. Harry waits despite how excited he was to find out who it is going to be.
"The Hogwarts champion is….Cedric Diggory!" he called.
Harry stood up and clapped but then he looked at Owen, he was smiling at him. They all looked relieved about the choosings for some odd reason, he wonders if they found out about his adventures from the past three years.
"Well, we now have our three champions-"
Harry sits down but when he looks at Minho, he looks shock and frowns deeply, his hands clutching hard so he looks up to see that the goblet has started off again, now what?
His heart drops as Dumbledore reads his name out calmly.
He shook his head, he didn't add his name, he didn't! He had enough frame as it is! Let someone else take the frame for a change.
Harry looks at Ron and Hermione to see disbelief and disgust at what's going on, he hopes it isn't at him.
"Hare."
He looked at Minho to find worry and sympathy. "It's all right, do you need me to come up with ya? I know you didn't do it."
He nods, so Minho helps him up and they walk up to the stage, to Dumbledore and take the paper, he could barely look at any of the professors, let alone Snape. They walk into the next chamber.
The three champions looked at them as soon as they came in, he wondered how he looked at them, a cheater or just a kid who is about to break down? He can't tell.
"what is it?" Fluer asked them. "Do zey want us back in ze hall?"
So, she thinks they are here to tell them to come back in? That he is a messenger?
"Unfortunately not. Do you have a bucket in here? I think he's gonna puke." Minho said through the ringing of his ears.
Fleur left his vision only to return with a bucket and he pukes in it. Minho and Cedric rubs his back, even Krum looks concern about him.
"What happened? I know Harry's been through a lot since coming to Hogwarts but I've never seen him like this before." Cedric said.
"Everyone has a breaking point, even Harry."
He heard the door open from the great hall, he looks up to find Dumbledore and the rest of the teachers coming in, even his guardians that has been keeping him safe lately.
Sometimes he wonders if God has sent angels to protect him, but that would explain Professor Morningstar.
"Harry! Did you put your name in the goblet?" Dumbledore asked him, calmly.
"No, sir."
He sound dead inside but maybe it's better this way.
"Are you absolutely sure? Did you ask an older student to do it?"
"I'm sure and no." he said, then he puked again.
"Of course, he 's lying." said Madam Maxine.
"Whoa, whoa!"
They all look to the muggle teachers, Katniss comes to him and holds him. "It's okay, I know how you're feeling."
Harry nods as he melts into the girl on fire's hug, it feels warm as a gentle warm fire through winter.
"It's okay, buddy." Owen said.
"Chin up, little wiz. We'll clear it up." Pro-Lucifer said.
He nods, can he really trust them? All his life, adults have never reliable, not with the Dursleys who had beaten him all his life, just as hell not when Vernon raped him during the summer after his third year for what he had done to his sister, Marge. Never….so how will he trust these three muggle adults? Can they be reliable to save him from the pain he is in?
He can't be sure.
"Look at him. He looks like he is about to go into a panic attack. Does that look like a cheater of a boy in the big tournament? No, he's scared for his life!" Owen said to the witches and Wizards in the room. "You need to get him fucking out of it, like now!"
Harry looked at Owen shock, he has never heard him cuss like this before.
"He could be playing it up." said Karkaoff.
"Bloody hell. The boy just threw up in a bucket from fear. How would you like it if someone did that to you? It's obviously that someone wants to murder the boy." Lucifer said.
Katniss finally let him go, stands up and looks at them in the eye, Harry wonders what she is going to do, why was she wearing that face? She opens her mouth to say something to them. Harry wonders what she is going to say….
