The next morning was the day that everybody was going to put their name in the Goblet. I got up early so I could see who would. I sat around and clapped as people put their names in. Then I heard a commotion of Hufflepuff's yelling Cedric's name. My mouth dropped as I saw him drop his name in. "Cedric Diggory!" I yelled. He looked at me and then tried to run away. "Cedric come back here!" He stopped in his tracks.

"Look I know what you're going to say Nyx, and I don't care. I really want to do this. I know I will be risking my life, but it sounds fun doesn't it? Don't worry, if I'm chosen, then I'll be careful. I promise." I looked at him and let out a big gulp of breath.

"I'll hold you to that." I smiled and he hugged me from the side. The next thing we know, the twins are barging in yelling 'yes!'

"Well lads, we've done it!" Fred exclaimed.

"Cooked it up just this morning." George finished.

"It's not going to work." Hermione sang. The twins went on either side of her.

"And why is that Granger?" George asked.

"You see this, this is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself."

"So." Fred added.

"So, a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by something so dimwitted as an aging potion.

"But that's why it's brilliant."

"Because it's pathetically dimwitted." George finished off. They were barking mad. They stood up and shook their potions.

"Ready Fred."

"Ready George.

"Bottoms up." They both said. Once they had finished drinking it, they jumped inside the ring. Everybody cheered them on. Then they both put their names in the Goblet silencing everybody. Again everybody cheered for them, but them suddenly the flame sent them flying backwards out of the ring. They both grew gray hair and beards and began fighting.

"You said."

"You said."

Everybody gathered around them chanting 'fight' except for Hermione and I, we both thought that they were rather stupid. All the chanting stopped once Viktor Krum came striding in with Karkaroff at his side. I looked up from the book I'd been reading about potions. He entered the circle and put his name in, then to my surprise, turned to face me smiling and winked. Once he left the room every girl turned to me and squealed. I wasn't into that sort of girly thing so I stood up and left the room. Classes were boring as always, so after I just went straight to bed. I couldn't believe Cedric put his name in. Well I guess we'll see who is chosen tomorrow.

The next morning everyone gathered in the Great Hall. Dumbledore got us to calm down and take our seats. I sat next to Cedric and a couple of my others friends were nearby.

"Now the moment you've all been waiting for, the champion selection." Dumbledore started. He lifted his hand up and dimmed the lights in the room. Once he was done with that, the Goblet's flames then turned from blue to red and a piece of burnt parchment flew down to Dumbledore.

"The Durmstrang champion is, Viktor Krum!" all the Durmstrang students cheered for him as he made his way forward and out of the room. The goblet's flames turned red and out came another piece of parchment.

"From Beaxbatons, Fleur Delecour!" The girls from Beaxbatons made a few girly cheers. She also made her way out of the room. Now all that was left was the champion from Hogwarts. I was really hoping that it wouldn't be Cedric, but at the same time I really want him to be the champion.

"The Hogwarts champion, Cedric Diggory!" He stepped forward, people patting him on the back and cheering very loudly. I didn't know weather to feel grateful for him or to feel scared.

"Excellent, we now have our three Champions, but in the end only one will go down in history, only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this vessel of victory, the Tri-Wizard Cup!" Dumbledore pointed behind him revealed a light blue glowing trophy. The fire behind Dumbledore started to turn red again and yet another piece of parchment fell from the flames.

"Harry Potter." Dumbledore mumbled. "Harry Potter." He said a bit louder. Everybody's head turned to Harry. How did he get his name in the Goblet? Or maybe he didn't. "HARRY POTTER!" Dumbledore yelled. Hermione pushed Harry forward. Dumbledore handed him the piece of parchment with his name on it and he headed out of the room.

'He's a cheat!' someone yelled

'He's not even seventeen yet!' another voice said.

The next few months have been bad for Harry. Some guy even made pins that whenever you touched it, it would say 'Potter Stinks' I sat with Cedric talking about if he knew anything about the first talk on a bench outside. Suddenly Harry came up to Cedric and asked to talk to him alone. People around him were yelling things like

'Potter Stinks'

'Potter is the worst'

After a while I got sick of it and told them to shut up and they immediately did. After Harry and Cedric had had their talk I walked over to Harry.

"Harry, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." We continued to walk and then Harry spotted Ron so he began picking up his pace. I knew this was going to be bad. We stopped right in front of him.

"You're a right foul git, you know that." Harry shot at him.

"You think so."

"I know so."

"Anything else?"

"Yeah, stay away from me."

"Fine." Ron stated and walked away with Seamus by his side.

"Come on Harry." I whispered

"Why so tense Potter!"Malfoy yelled from a distance. We turned our heads only to see him and his little Slytherin posse with him. We both tried to walk away.

"My father and I have a bet you see. I don't think you're going to last ten minutes in this Tournament." He jumped out of the tree he was in and swaggered over to Harry. "He disagrees. He thinks you won't last five." He and his Slytherin's laughed.

"I don't give a damn what your father thinks Malfoy." Harry said pushing Draco in the arm. Draco's smile faded into his famous stare. "He's vile and cruel, and you're pathetic." Harry added. He walked back to me and I saw Draco draw out his wand "Pathetic." He mimicked Harry. "Draco, don't."

"Oh no you don't sunny!" Mood came out with his wand and pointed it at Draco turning him into a white ferret. I couldn't help but smile to myself and keep a laugh in while I watched Moody bounce him up and down.

"I'll teach you to curse someone when their back is turned. You stinking, cowardly, scummy-"

Professor McGonagall came out to where we were. "Professor Moody what are you doing?"

"Teaching." He replied with a furious look on his face.

"Is that a student?" McGonagall stammered.

"Technically it's a ferret." He said putting the ferret in Crabbe's pants. Crabbe struggled to get it out and Goyle tried to help. McGonagall pointed her wand at the ferret that had come out the bottom of Crabbe's trousers. The ferret was gone and there was Draco back to his normal self. His hair was all messy and he still had that smug look on his face, he turned around to face Moody.

"My father will hear about this!" He yelled.

"Is that a threat?" Moody yelled at Draco chasing him around the tree. "IS THAT A THREAT!?" he yelled once again.

"Professor Moody!" McGonagall shouted

"I can tell your stories about your father boy! It doesn't end here!" Draco ran off with his friends. By the time they had left, I was standing next to Cedric watching the show. We were all laughing hysterically.

"Alastor!" McGonagall got him to settle down. "We never use Transfiguration as a punishment." She clearly stated. "Surely Dumbledore told you that."

"He might have mentioned it." Moody mumbled.

"And you will do well to remember it." McGonagall said walking away fiercely. She shooed us away from the scene.

"I'm going to have so much fun teasing him in the common room." I laughed.

"I'll hold you to that." Cedric smiled. "See ya later, Nyx."

"Bye!" I said holding my smile. I walked back to the dungeons and saw Crabbe, Blaise, Goyle and Draco huddled in a corner.

"Thanks for the show Malfoy. I can already see it, Malfoy the Dancing Ferret Friday's in the Courtyard at four 'o clock!" that earned some laughs from other people around the room. I smiled mentally patting myself on the back for that one. Draco drew out his wand pointing it at me. He stomped forward making my back hit a wall.

"If you think for one second that this is funny, then you've got a curse coming your way."

I laughed at him. "If you think I'm afraid of you're pathetic threats then you've just made a bigger fool of yourself."

"What makes you doubt me, huh? What makes you think that I wouldn't curse or hex you?"

I smiled looking into his icy blue eyes. "Because I know, that deep down in that cold heart of yours." I said poking at his chest. "That you wouldn't hurt a girl." I brought my hand up to his cheek. "There's been some talk around here that you have been crushing on someone in particular, it's probably just rumours, but still, I would be careful, you don't want to upset the wrong type." With that said I slapped his cheek softly and playfully and headed up to my dorm.
