Chapter 1:
The champions.
The Hogwarts great hall held an air of excitement throughout dinner and once the feast ended the excitement only grew. A certain dark haired wizard sat at his table as he let the excitement of the hall wash over him. His eyes held one of hope with the knowledge that this year would be more peaceful than the last.
"Settle down everyone. Settle." Dumbledore exclaimed standing up and making his way around the staff table and towards the Goblet of Fire which now stood in front of the four house tables and had been placed at the front of the hall before dinner began.
"It is almost time for the Goblet to make its decision," the Hogwarts headmaster exclaimed as he wandlestly dimmed the torches and candles floating throughout the great hall before turning and facing the students.
"Now I ask that when the champions of each school are chosen that they make their way to the front of the hall and to stand next to his or her headmaster or mistress." The professor said as he indicated with his head towards the head table where High master Karkaroff, Headmistress Maxime and deputy head McGonagall stood.
The students broke into whispers as they debated amongst themselves of who would be whose champion. Dumbledore turned towards the Goblet and placed his hand on the rim of it. Closing his eyes he concentrated.
The fames inside the goblet which were originally a patronus blue colour turned a stupefy red and spat out a piece of charred parchment into Dumbledore's waiting hand.
Glancing up from it his head turned to the Slytherin side of the room he exclaimed. "The Durmstrang champion is… Victor Krum," the Slytherins broke out into cheers and the rest of the hall clapped and cheered for the well-known professional seeker.
Victor stood up from his seat and made his way towards his high master and he tried but failed miserably to block out his high masters enthusiastic praise as he stood next to him.
The cheers died down as Dumbledore shot sparks into the air to gain everyone's attention again. Once again the goblet turned a violent stupefy red and spat out a second piece of charred parchment which landed once again in the headmasters waiting hand.
Now turning to the Ravenclaw table he cried, "The championing for Beauxbatons is … Fleur Delacour."
And all at once the guys in the hall went mad as Fleur made her way towards her headmistress. Although you could see many of the girls at her table break down crying for the fact that the goblet had not chosen them.
The cheering almost instantly died down as Dumbledore raised his wand into the air. The anticipation on who the Hogwarts champion would be had arrived and the air was thick with worry and anticipation.
The goblet sparked one again before the headmaster exclaimed.
"The Hogwarts champion is… Cedric Diggory."
The Hogwarts students went mad at the exclamation when Cedric was announced their champion. Cedric himself blushed as he was pulled to his feet by his pears and congratulated by as many people that could reach him. He scrambled out of the crowds and made his way towards his deputy head who in turn congratulated him on his feet.
"Well now that we have our three champions. I am sure that I can count upon you all including our guests to give your champions every ounce of support you can muster. By cheering on your schools champion…" Dumbledore broke off as everyone's attention was drawn to the goblet which was shooting out sparks or fame and light until three pieces of charred parchment were spat out.
Out of reflex Dumbledore caught them in one hand and read them. The Hogwarts headmaster seemed to age in front of the school as his eyes flickered upon the names on the parchment.
He gave a fruitful glance at the professors and the student who were giving him anxious and frightened looks. Taking a deep breath he read the names written upon the three parchments.
"Harry James Potter, Damon Alexsander Petrova," he called out before the final called out the Last name, "Davina Jasmine Dorea Potter."
