New chapter! Yay... :)
review please!
The chatter was almost deafening inside the hall that night. The feast has been eaten in record timing, and now the five tables were cleared. Every single eye was on Professor Sprout.
Finally she stood up, the excited hum died, leaving an intense silence in its wake.
"The time has come for the Goblet of Fire to choose the three school champions. Every champion must compete, there is no backing out. The three tasks are set to test your bravery, quick-thinking, skill and logic. The winner will win 3000 galleons, the Triwizard cup and glory for their school. When I call your name, please come up by the top table and into the door on the left."
She made her way to the Goblet of Fire. Every face was alight with anticipation.
Professor Sprout put out her hands. The flames turned blue and up shot a piece of paper.
"The Durmstrang champion will be, Lukiz Pacter!" a storm of clapping broke out across the hall. A burly looking fellow with a hansome face stood up from the Slytherin table, leaving some very unhappy Durmstrang students behind him.
He walked passed the professor's table, earning a happy nod from Highmaster Koskov.
The flames turned blue once more. Sprout caught the parchment that shot up. "The Beauxbatons champion is Frederick Maxine!" More clapping broke out. Frederick grinned disbelievingly at all of them as they clapped him on the shoulder. Sophie and Charlotte even gave him a hug, though they had also wanted to be school champion.
He followed the footsteps of Pacter, and grinned at Hagrid who was smiling proudly at him. The flames turned blue for the last time. A silence even more tense than previous times descended on the hall. The Hogwarts champion. This is what they were waiting for.
Every Hogwarts student held their breath as Sprout caught the last piece of parchment.
"And the Hogwarts champion is," She cleared her throat, obviously going for the grand effect. "Roberto Hagrid!" Everyone clapped as loud as ever. As Robbie stood up he recieved a hug from Leanne which surprised him but he appreciated very much. Alfred beamed at him and clapped him on the shoulder. He got a standing ovation from all his friends and all the first year's who he had shown around in September.
He got up grinning, walking passed the top-table, where Hagrid had tears in his eyes he was so proud, and walked through the door where he had to duck getting in.
"Robbie!" Frederick roared in delight when he spotted his twin.
"Guess we're competing against each other." Robbie grinned.
"Yeah." Freddie nodded happily. "Hope Alfred and Leanne are ok? Charlie and Soph were good sports about it."
"I think so, they seemed happy for me." Robbie hoped they were fine with not being champions and resolved to talk about it when he got back to the common room.
A loud bang was heard from the hall. The twins threw startled glances at each other and ran for the door, Pacter followed.
In the hall, it was chaos. First years were screaming, Professors were running around helplessly and the rest of the student body were watching in awe at the firework display above their heads, and laughing at the havoc around them.
There were swirls of bright orange flame going around and around in circle, mesmerising some people. A giant red and gold lion was galloping around in mid-air, and for some random reason, breathed pink and purple fire every now and then. Loud bangers went off every few seconds and silver sparks were shot up in the air in a quick succesion making a pooowinnngggg noise. But what Robbie was staring at with his mouth hanging open was the biggest firework of all.
In big blue letters, the words CHAMPION ROBBIE were sparkling above the whole scene.
He threw back his head and laughed. Freddie sent him a strange look. "Does this always happens in Hogwarts?"
"It does when Teddy and Victoire are in a good mood." He left Freddie looking shocked and headed towards the culprits, grinning.
"I know I'm Head Boy and all but this is -"
"BRILLIANT!" Alfred interupted him, Robbie didn't mind, it was basically what he was going to say anyway.
Teddy and Victoire however were staring at him doe-eyed as innocent as lambs. "All of this? You think we had something to do with this?"
Leanne snorted, no one bought there innoccent looks, after all they all highly doubted if Teddy and Victoire had ever been innocent in their lives. "One question; how did you know Robbie was going to be champion?"
"We didn't," Teddy started. "You just write it on the firework before you send it up -"
"Not that we'd know anything about it, of course," Victoire finished sweetly.
"Oh, of course." Teddy nodded solemnly. The person who overheard this conversation however, did not believe a word they said.
"Oh is that so, , Ms. Weasley?" They turned around to be face to face with Professor Sprout.
"Yes Miss, though these fireworks are very excellant and were entirely done to support the three champions, we had nothing to do with it." Leanne, Alfred and Robbie laughed, though Teddy and Victoire's remained straight and serious – years of practise of lying about their pranks perfected their poker faces.
"Hmmmm, is that so?" Sprout tapped her finger against her chin. "Well if the real culprits would stop the fireworks they wouldn't get any punishments, only to repair any firework related incidents in the hall."
Victoire and Teddy looked thoughtfully at each other, and as if they could read each other's minds, they took out their wands and simutaneouly did complicated wand movements, and the fireworks disappeared only leaving a faint outline of CHAMPION ROBBIE.
Sprout rolled her eyes and muttered, "I thought so." Behind Teddy, she had spotted Robbie and Freddie who had walked over to them. "Aha! Here are our twin champions!" She grinned at them.
Robbie had a feeling he that he and Freddie had just gotten a new nickname.
Hope you liked it!
