Here's Chapter Seven. :)
Thursday night finally arrived and all of the students gathered in the Great Hall to see who the three champions would be. Fred and George sat on either side of Melissa and she noticed that their gray hair and beards have disappeared.
"So I see Madam Pomfrey was able to get rid of your gray hair and beards," Melissa said with a grin on her face.
"Yep we're back to our old selves," Fred told his friend.
"Can you guys promise me one thing," Melissa asked them.
"Sure," George said.
"Never grow beards," Melissa said.
"We don't plan on it," George said with a laugh as he put his arms around her.
"Yeah you'll never see a beard on us again," Fred said laughing as well.
"I can't wait to see who the champions are," Ron said as he sat down across from them.
"I know this is going to be exciting," Harry said.
"Who do you think will be the Hogwarts champion," Hermione asked.
"More than likely Cedric Diggory," Fred told them.
"You think," Harry asked.
"Almost positive," Fred said.
"Alright students settle down," Dumbledore said as he got to his feet and walked over to the Goblet of Fire. The students stopped talking and they turned to their Headmaster. "And now the moment you've all been waiting for," Dumbledore continued. "The selection of the champions."
Dumbledore turned to the Goblet of Fire and the blue flame turned red. A piece of parchment shot out and Dumbledore caught it. He looks at the paper and reads the name out loud.
"The Durmstrang champion is...Victor Krum," Dumbledore said.
The Durmstrang crowd cheered as Victor Krum walked up to Dumbledore and shook his hand.
"Congratulations Mr. Krum," Dumbledore told him. "Please go into that room and await further instructions."
Krum nodded and he walked into the room that Dumbledore had pointed to. Dumbledore then turned back to the Goblet of Fire as it glowed red again. A second piece of parchment shot out and Dumbledore read the name out loud.
"The Beauxbatons champion is...Fleur Delacour," Dumbledore said.
The Beauxbatons students cheer as Fleur walks up to shake hands with Dumbledore.
"Well done Miss Delacour," Dumbledore said. "Please join Victor Krum in the room and await further instructions."
Fleur walked into the room with Krum to wait. Dumbledore then turned back to the Goblet of Fire and the blue flames turned red for a third time. A piece of parchment shot out and Dumbledore read the name out loud.
"The Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory," Dumbledore said.
The Hogwarts students cheer as Cedric gets to his feet and walks up to shake hands with his Headmaster.
"Congratulations Mr. Diggory," Dumbledore said. "Please go and join the other champions."
"Yes Professor," Cedric said with a smile on his face as he walked into the room with Krum and Fleur.
"We now have our three champions," Dumbledore said as he turned to the students. "But in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will win the Triwizard Cup!"
Everyone cheers and claps their hands. But they suddenly fell silent as the the flames glowed red once more. Dumbledore turned to the Goblet of Fire with a shocked expression on his face as two pieces of parchment shot out of it. He caught the pieces of parchment in his hands and read the names quietly.
"Harry and Melissa Potter," Dumbledore said. "Harry and Melissa Potter," he said again only louder this time.
Harry and Melissa glance at each other with terrified expressions on their faces. Melissa slid down in her seat and so did Harry.
"Harry get up there," Hermione told her friend.
"But I," Harry said.
"You'd better go to," George told his girlfriend in a quiet voice.
"I can't," Melissa said her voice shaking.
Fred turned to look at the terrified look on his friend's face. "It'll be fine."
Harry and Melissa slowly got to their feet and they walked up to Professor Dumbledore ignoring the glares from the students.
"They're cheats," a student said in an angry voice.
"They aren't even seventeen yet," another student shouted.
They passed Dumbledore and they walked into the room with Cedric, Fleur, and Krum. The other three champions looked up with confused expressions on their faces when they saw the twins enter. Just then Dumbledore burst into the room followed by Barty Crouch, Moody, Karkaroff, and Madam Maxime. Dumbledore ran over to Harry and Melissa and he placed a hand on each of their shoulders.
"Did you two put your names in the Goblet of Fire," Dumbledore asked in a loud voice.
"No," Harry and Melissa said together.
"Did you ask one of the older students to do it for you," Dumbledore asked them.
"No sir," Harry and Melissa answered together.
"Are you absolutely sure," Dumbledore asked them.
"Yes," Harry and Melissa said.
"They are lying," Madam Maxime said. "I cannot believe you are falling for this."
"They are not lying," Moody told her. "The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object, only an exceptionally powerful conjurer could have hoodwinked it. Magic way beyond the talents of any fourth year."
"You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought Moody," Karkaroff said.
"It was once my job to think as dark wizards do Karkaroff," Moody reminded him. "You remember don't you?"
"That doesn't help Alastor," Dumbledore told him. "We leave this to you Barty," Dumbledore said as he turned to him.
"The rules are absolute," Barty said. "The Goblet of Fire constitutes a binding magical contract. Mr. and Miss Potter have no choice. As of tonight, they are now they are now Triwizard Champions."
