Chapter 24

Last Time:

"This is the daily ritual for those two. EVERY morning it's a food fight" Harry explains to Rose. Rose laughs at Alex, who just threw her spoon at Ron.

~A&H~

As Dumbledore walks into the great hall he sees Alex and Ron having their daily food fight. Dumbledore shakes his head at Alex's and Ron's childish games, but knows that they are just having fun. Dumbledore sees Rose Kuran sitting next to Alex laughing with Harry and Hermione.

"I knew Alex would drag her to her friends" Dumbledore chuckles as Alex threw her spoon at Ron.

"HA!" Alex points at Ron laughing, sees her cereal all over him. Ron laughs as well, both looking at their shirts. Dumbledore shakes his head and turns a blind eye.

"This is going to be an interesting year" Dumbledore whispers to himself.

Now:

Alex is sitting in the great hall watching people put their names in the Goblet of Fire. She tunes out as Fred and George put their names in, then get into a fight. Alex looks as Russo puts her name in and grins. Alex rolls her eyes but ends up staring at Krum, who stares at her. Krum puts his name in, then walks up to her.

"Are you going to enter?" Krum asks in his weird ascent. Alex shakes her head.

"I'm only 13 turning 14 soon. I'm not anywhere close to old enough. Besides, I don't want to" Alex shrugs her shoulders. Krum smiles at her.

"You seem like a very sweet young lady" Alex catches Hermione's eye to see her grinning. Alex looks at the others to see Ron and Harry sit next to Hermione. Alex stands up.

"Thank you. My friends are waiting" Alex walks down from the benches and sits down next to Hermione.

"You were talking to Victor Krum" Ron gasps. Alex shakes her head.

"So? He's just an idiot" Alex whispers to him, not wanting people to overhear her.

Just then Dumbledore and all the teachers walk in.

"Ok, time to find out our champions" Dumbledore smiles. The fire grows red and a piece of parchment spits out.

"The champion for Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour" Fleur smiles and walks to her headmistress; Olympe Maxime.

"Champion for Durmstang is... Victor Krum" Krum smirks and walks up to his headmaster; Igor Karkaroff.

Champion for Wiztech is... Justin Russo" Justin smiles and walks to his headmaster, Alexander Crumbs.

"Finally, the champion for Hogwarts is..." Dumbledore stares at the parchment in shock. Dumbledore mutters something before looking up. McGonagall walks over and reads it. Tears fill her eyes and calls out the name. Alex tunes out afraid. Hermione grabs Alex's arm and pushes her all the way up to Dumbledore. McGonagall gives Alex the parchment, and there on it is... her name.

~A&H~

"NO! I TOLD YOU I NEVER PUT MY NAME IN THE GOBLET. I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS. I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED! I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS!" Alex screams and she paces in Dumbledore's office. Karkaroff, Maxime, Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore are sitting on chairs listening to Alex's rampage.

"Ally" Dumbledore calls softly. Alex turns to Dumbledore, tears finally falling freely. Alex dives into Dumbledore's arms and hugs him tightly.

"Don't make me daddy. I don't want to" Alex cries. Dumbledore hugs Alex tighter, knowing she needs comfort.

"We will think of something" Dumbledore promises.

Too bad, it won't work out.

Sorry it's short. But I need to end it there. Please review
