Chapter Nine

History

The next day was started more or less how Danny expected. He had been give two weeks detention with Hagrid for putting his name into the cup and lost Slytherin all fifty of the points that he had earned them so far.

On top of that everyone who failed to put their names into the goblet kept asking Danny how he did it. Harry spent about fifteen minutes telling Danny that he shouldn't have done it and that he was risking his life for nothing. Not that Danny cared, the only thing it did was it made him want to talk to Jazz. Yes she was over protective but she understood that he had his own life to live and that her role in it was just to support him and never to control him that was Sam's job. Danny then realized he had thought that. 'Did she really make me smuggle robotic frogs into the school. Man I was whipped.'

At breakfast Fred, George, and Ron were all trying to convince Danny to tell them how he got through the ward. "Come on guys you know that part of the challenge is getting picked." Danny said for the fourth time. "You only tried two time, where is the energy that you always show. You two are really creative, like when you decided to make the hair dye that changes colors and sync in with the dyes around it." They all looked to the Slytherin table were the A-list sections hair was doing a rainbow wave.

Viktor Krum came through the doors and when straight up to Danny. "Thanks for the lesson last night with the ectolisms. I managed to hold onto half a cartage worth of the ectolisms for a thirty seconds before losing concentration." Viktor handed Danny back the empty cartages.

"Impressive, I will fill these up for you and get them to you after my detentions over." Danny said.

"Thank you and one question. Is the hair thing because of you?" He pointed off in the direction of Slytherin table.

"No I just got it into the bottles. These three made the stuff." Danny said point at the twins that were suffering from fan shock and Lee. "Viktor these are Fred and George Weasley and Lee Jordan. Fred, George, and Lee, Viktor Krum."

"You do interesting work." Viktor said shaking their hands. "Are you also going to enter your names into the cup?"

"Tried and trying." Fred and George said together.

"Danny won't tell them how he did it. And I am not going to try. Danny is probably going to be Hogwarts Champion anyways." Lee said.

"Probably, but you never know unless you try." Viktor said.

This was all the motivation that Fred and George needed. They jumped up from the table and Fred said. "We are going to go to the library and try to look up what spell was used."

"Dumbledore would have taken out all spell books that mention it but if we look for what is not there, we will have something to go off of." George continued.

"We got some correspondents in the ministry from when we went in with our dad, and they would have the books in their libraries." Fred said.

"Where there is a will there is a way." They said at once and were gone.

"I think they just forgot they had classes today." Lee said.

"You are a good motivator, Viktor." Danny laughed.

"That not my fault." Viktor said putting up his hands as if to say 'I have nothing to do with this'.

Viktor went off and Danny went to his History of Magic and Muggle Studies courses. Neither of these courses required his attention, so he spent the time refueling the cartages for Viktor. They returned for lunch and no one had seen the twins.

"Viktor Krum is like an idol to them. I don't think they are going to stop." Ginny said.

"I just hope that they remember to eat." Lee said.

"Don't worry about us." The twins said together as they sat down in their seats. Fred started to talk as George ate. "We just finished checking all of the missing books about time and age checking magic and have sent our letter to our friend."

They switch now and George continued where Fred left off. "It is really just checking for the trace that is on all underage witches and wizards, so if we can get rid or weaken the trace, then we can get through the ward."

"I am impressed by your speed." Danny said. "Do you have any plans yet?"

"Only three, but we are working on which to use." They said together before burying their heads in chicken.

"Attention student. I am afraid I have an announcement." Dumbledore said. "Because of all the attempts at removing a certain name for the Goblet of Fire, the deadline for entering your name has unfortunately been moved up from next week to the next ten minutes. If you want to enter and are of age, please come up now. Classes will be cancel for the afternoon."

"NOOOOOOO!" the twins screamed as loud as they could. Danny felt sorry for them since it really was kind of his fault. But one way or another the time had come.


Heavy sigh... I have eight active stories that I have mapped out exactly what I want to do in the next chapters (to a rather fine detail), but I find that I can't actually write of them...

And since the committee meeting are over (to the same disastrous results that one could expect when most of the people there don't have a clue what they are talking about but insist on putting out there opinions anyways) and since all my friends all decided that they were too busy to game all at once, I now have ridiculous amounts of free time again. So in order to distract myself from how miserable a person I am, dragging out this minimal effort story a little longer and we will see if I can't actually find a way to bring it back to that giant monster fight. yay... (very weak)

This chapter took 22 minutes and 12 seconds to write.

But the way, I never actually looked up how fast the plot is actually supposed to go in the fourth book, that would take time, which defeats the point of minimum effort.
