Hey everyone. Typed this up over the past few days and since the last chapter did so well I decided to be nice and give you the next. So here it is Chapter 8.
Chapter 8:
Rin made it to the bottom of the stairs just a second after Harry and the beautiful miss Delacour asked "do zey need uz for zumting?" neither one of them had time to answer before a very nervous looking Dumbledore burst in the room " Harry, Rin, did you put your names into the goblet of fire?!" Harry just looked at Rin and was surprised and said "you were called too?!" Rin just nodded.
Dumbledore ignored both of them and started talking to Crouch, "you can't expect them to participate Barty! It's too dangerous, they're too young to even participate!" he turned back to the boys and asked "did you boys have an older student enter your names?" they both said no "I don't think either of these fine young men would do anything so devious" chimed in Mephisto.
Barty Crouch just shook his head and said "There is no way around it Albus, they were called by the Goblet…. it's magic is binding, they must participate in the tournament."
-1 hour later in the boys dorm-
"You would think a guy would at least tell his best friend about doing something like this" Ron said almost pouting; "you think I wanted this Ron?" Harry yelled. Ron just ignored him and turned his back and went to sleep.
Rin heard everything from his bed, he couldn't sleep at all he was just waiting till he was almost sure that everyone was asleep. He was nervous about the whole situation and thought 'maybe some training will help me calm down' then he got up and crept down to the common room and began to practice, little did he know that he was not the only person in the dorm with sleeping problems that night.
Harry was half asleep but he was sure he saw Rin go down to the common room and the he saw a blue light almost like…. The Goblet!? He got up quietly and made it down the stairs to see Rin sitting on the couch staring at a candle focusing he was about to go back upstairs when a huge blue flame burst out of the fireplace Rin was hurrying to put the flame out 'did he make that fire? he must be the one who put my name in the goblet! but why? I barely know him… maybe he is a servant of Voldemort and maybe so are the rest of them.' Harry crept down and then jumped on Rin.
Rin had just put the fire out and before he could react someone was on top of him and he could feel something to his throat, he looked up 'Harry?! But why?' before he could ask Harry spoke "why did you put my name in the goblet of fire?" all Rin could say was "But I didn't" Harry just scowled at him "Oh and your little blue fire incident here was just a happy coincidence! I'm not stupid, why are you trying to kill me?" "I'm not though" was all Rin could say before his fear got the better of him and he had set Harry's shoulder alight with a small flame causing harry to jump up off of Rin. "Harry I'm sorry" Rin tried getting closer to help Harry just told him to stay away and brandished his wand and said "I want answers now!" Rin sighed and said "fine I'll tell you everything" and thus Rin recounted his most recent adventures at home and his parentage, which truly surprised Harry, and that he didn't put Harry's name in the cup and asked even if he did why would he also put his name into the cup, to this Harry had no answer. "we're in this together Harry, we have to help each other or we might not survive can I count on your help if I give you mine in return?" Rin extended his hand, Harry looked down and nodded and accepted the handshake. "I also need you to keep the whole 'son of Satan' thing to yourself I'd rather not have that going around if I can help it" Harry agreed but said that Ron and Hermione could be trusted but he would tell unless Rin was ok with it, Rin just nodded. After that they both went back up to bed.
-The next morning-
Ron was acting like a moron and completely ignoring Harry and Rin's existence, although it was better than the treatment they got from everyone else at school, in one night they had both become pariahs the only people who were still talking to them were Hermione and the True Cross group.
"This is so stupid. Why are they even letting an idiot like you compete at all?" groaned Suguro to Rin, all Rin could say was that he didn't know and that he didn't want to cause trouble at all "well you sure suck at that, moron." "Shut it, you punk looking freak!" "What did you say to me!" "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" yelled Yukio to their surprise. Yukio just sighed and said " I don't think you did this Rin, but even so there isn't any way out of it so you're going to have to play along." Suguro just left along with Chibi Bon tailing along behind him. "So Harry knows your secret?" Rin nodded to the inquiry from his brother "this complicates things and your most likely going to have to use your powers to help during the trials of the tournament" he sighed and said this will all have to be included in the report for this week."
"Why are you here?" yelled Rin as he saw Miss Shura in the potions class. "Professor Snape was made ill by a potion brewed by a first year and asked me to take over for the next few days. Hmmm have you been practicing Rin?" He nodded vigorously because he knew she would do something to punish him if he were to slack off. "Good, you're going to need all the practice you can get for the tournament." Rin just went and sat down after this.
Eventually everyone had made it to their seats and quieted down and miss Shura introduced herself and told them to take notes as she read from the potions book. Rin just zoned out and thought about the tournament. The first trial was in only a few weeks and we have no idea what it could possibly be, he would have to talk to Harry about it later. He turned to look at his new found ally and kind of felt bad because of his situation with Ron and the rest of the school.
Class ended and Rin approached Harry after he had finished speaking to Hermione "Hey Harry can we talk, it's about the tournament?" Harry shook his head "Maybe a bit later Hagrid has been looking for me apparently." and at that Harry left.
Harry made it out to Hagrid's hut just after dark and was honestly surprised by how his old friend looked. Hagrid was dressed in his formal wear, with a bright orange flower in his pocket and his hair was attempted to be brushed back with what looked to be a combination of motor oil and axle grease. "Oi Harry, did you bring you cloak?" Harry nodded and Hagrid asked him to put it on quickly and to follow him.
After about 10 minutes of walking harry saw a huge blast of flame shoot out from behind a large tree and when he was finally in sight of what had caused the fire he was completely dumbstruck. "Dragons? The first trial is Dragons?!" he asked Hagrid incredulously "Yeah, Ron's brother managed to bring them down from the breeding encampment in Romania, didn't he tell you?" Harry frowned and just shook his head and left back for the castle leaving Hagrid to his date with the massive Madame Maxine.
When he got back to the dorm he quietly woke Rin "The first trial is dragons. Hagrid showed me." Rin looked like he just got hit in the head by a cinderblock "Dragons?! Are you freaking serious?!" Harry shushed him before he could wake the others and nodded the affirmative. Rin laid back down and sighed and said "We. Are. So. Fucking. Dead" and with that he went back to sleep seeing no other reason to stay awake.
Hope this is just as good as the last one. And next chapter is going to back track a bit and be shot stories of how everyone else has been doing and what they have had to deal with so far. I realize Rin and Harry are main characters but everyone needs a little more attention so they are all getting a whole chapter to themselves. So let me know what you think of this idea if you would rather I just move on with the story just let me know. I wont start writing again till I know what you guys would like, because without readers writers would be pointless. So review to your hearts content and let me know what you want and if you have any opinions on how you think the story should proceed shoot me a message or something.
