Of course, the next day you saw the students making a pilgrimage to the Goblet of Fire. There was such a rush that there was a line in front of the thing.
Harry shook his head. for him it was incomprehensible how so many students could voluntarily put themselves in such a danger. His friends thought the same way too.
“And if I won 1,000 galleons a hundred times. Nobody would make me take part. "
"You would still have the best chance of all of us." Ron agreed.
Hermione shook her head.
"Since Harry has been receiving additional lessons, I see things differently. His magic is far superior to my house. "
"That may be true, but you are still better than me at Potions. And Severus has been tutoring me all summer. "
"The whole one?" Ron exclaimed, stunned.
“Yes, but that was my own wish. unfortunately it didn't do as much as I had hoped. I'll never be as good at that subject as my mother. ”Harry grumbled.
Hermione put a comforting arm around his shoulders.
“Hey, you don't have to be the best everywhere. you too can have deficits. "
"Thanks mine, I just think it's a shame."

They were on their way to defense where the Slytherin were already waiting.
"Hey Potter, why do you look like your name was pulled out of the goblet?" Draco wanted to know.
“Morning dragon, we just talked about my inability to use potions. And please, don't wake sleeping dogs. ”He replied.
Draco blinked briefly a few times.
"You don't even call me by my last name anymore?"
"No, for what? you have a new one, and Daphne is standing next to you. I don't want her to always feel addressed when I speak to you as Grenngrass. "
"Understandable. Then I'll name the three of you by your first names. it will definitely save time. ”Certain Draco.
The rest of the two classes had listened to the conversation with interest. everyone knew that the golden trio and the Grenngrass siblings had already got along well last year, but not that they got along so well. however, everyone was happy about it, so hopefully there would be less arguments in general. Draco and Harry were leaders in many things, even if they didn't know it themselves.
Opening the class door broke all deliberations.
"Remus?came it from Harry, amazed. "Has Dumbledore hired you again?"
The werewolf smiled around and shook his head.
“No, not as a teacher, I'm just representing Alastor Moody. the man still has something to do and won't be here for a few days. "
Harry and the others shrugged. If the students had their way, the new teacher could have stayed where the pepper grew. they enjoyed taking lessons from the werewolf. And they learned something too.
In that hour Remus took part in the Triwizard Tournaments for the past 500 years. he told who had participated and what dangers the champions had to face. After the lesson, the students understood even less how someone would volunteer to participate in the madness.

the rest of the week went by in a flash. The students from the different schools got to know each other. However, Harry and his year didn't have that much to do with them. after all, only a few students had come from other countries and they were all already 17.
It was funny that younger students tried again and again to cross the age barrier. Always with different tricks. and each one grew a beard as punishment.
The day before the decision was made, the Weasley twins purposely jumped behind it at dinner and made a point of Santa Claus vs. Father Frost. Much to the amusement of those present.
harry continued to have additional lessons in addition to his normal lessons. His wild magic grew stronger the more he practiced. Fortunately, however, the boy was able to maintain control much more easily. Hermione Ron and the Greengrass siblings also took part in the class. Hermione learned to think outside the box at times, and Ron was patiently tutored. The other three just learned for fun. much to the irritation of Severus and his partner. It was clear to them that these six would be harder to keep than a sack of fleas.

Then the time came. Today the Goblet of Fire would spit out the names of the champions.
most of the students could hardly concentrate on eating because of their nervousness.
Even the minister was present. And the new defense teacher had finally turned up this morning. even if the students who had already had him in class were not particularly enthusiastic about this man.
Finally Dumbledore got up and went to the goblet.
“Well, dear ones, you are certainly all very curious to find out who will take part in this year's Triwizard Tournament. As soon as your name is called, please go to the door next to the teacher's desk and go into the room behind.
A little announcement for all students at Hogwarts. There will be no Quidditch this year. "
loud groans were the reaction.
"Oh come on, you have the opportunity to be part of an unforgettable event." The principal tried to calm the students down.
"It was unforgettable to watch Professor Snape referee two years ago." At Fred's joke, almost everyone burst out laughing. With the exception of the guests, of course.
"For that I should deduct points from you, Mr.weasley. "
"Then why don't you do it?" Minerva wanted to know curiously.
Severus snorted.
“Because unfortunately the boy is right. I looked ridiculous. Could we change the subject, please? "
Now the students from the other schools laughed too.
dumbledore sighed in annoyance.
"So please, when that is resolved. Then I ask for your attention again. "

          

The next moment the goblet of fire glowed blue and threw a note from inside.
Madame Maxime caught him.
"Fleur Delacour!" She exclaimed happily.
The girl, clearly with Veelagenen, jumped up enthusiastically and let her classmates celebrate. Then she stepped forward elegantly and disappeared behind the indicated door.

The goblet shone again. the next note flew to Igor Karkaroff.
"Victor Krum!" He roared with enthusiasm.
The boy, who was also a seeker in the Bulgarian national team, rose to the applause of his school. His teacher roared the loudest.
he too disappeared behind the door.

The next slip landed in Dumbledore's hands.
He made a big show of opening it and first of all reading for yourself which name was in it. then he looked around with a smile and waited a moment. Some students were already rolling their eyes.
"The champion entering the race for Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory."
Again loud cheers went through the hall. the badger's seeker got up in surprise. It seemed he never expected to be chosen.
He walked slowly forward, grinning like a honey cake horse. he was so excited he almost ran through the closed door.

Dumledore turned back to the hall, smiling.
"Now that all participants have been nominated, I would like to say ..."
He didn't get any further because the chalice was already shining again.
Confused murmurs spread across the room. What was going on now Why did this happen?
when a piece of paper left the goblet and landed in the hand of the director, he looked completely overwhelmed for the first time.
Confused, he turned to the teachers.
"Did any of you play around with the goblet of fire?"
the teachers and the minister looked at the man as if he had lost his mind.
Then the headmaster took a look at the French and especially at the magical beings.
"Was that one of you?"
“PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE! I forbid you to accuse my students in this way. In addition, none of the children would have the power to manipulate such an object. Neither from mine nor from any of the other schools. For this one must know the mechanics of the chalice. and that is not taught. That means it has to be someone who is familiar with magical artifacts.
So please tell us which name is on the note. "
The half-giantess had crossed her arms over her chest. she was usually kindness personified, but woe betide anyone trying to put children in a bad light, then she would become a fury. Even Karkaroff kept his distance.
Dumbledore sighed and unfolded the slip of paper. In disbelief he stared at the name that was written on it.
"It can't be," he muttered.
His colleagues stared at him angrily, but he made no move to read the name out loud.
Furious, the minister stepped forward and snatched the parchment from the man.
“We'll never get any further here. So who is the fourth participant. HARRY POTTER?"

It was as quiet as a mouse in the hall. Most of them had their mouths open. some were already wondering how to find the one responsible, but said no one did anything. To.
"NO! IN NO WAY, FORGET IT. AAAAAAHHHHHHH! "
Said participant freaked out.
Harry had just been playing with Beast when Crouch read his name out loud. But the boy didn't want to, everything in him resisted this madness.
The Minister took a deep breath.
“I'm sorry, Mrpotter, but it looks like you are the fourth participant in the tournament. Please go to the others. "
But the boy-who-foamed-with-anger didn't think of it at all.
“You can completely forget that. I'm not taking part in this suicide mission. Find yourself another fool. You don't need to count on me. And what fool had the stupid idea of ​​throwing my name on that damn thing? I'm 14 in all that is right. I can't and don't want to take part. "
Harry had turned his volume down a bit, but everyone could see how angry he was. none of the students thought for a second that the young hero might have manipulated the goblet himself. Especially because Harry wasn't exactly stingy with venomous looks.
Now the director spoke up again.
"I'm sorry my boy, but it looks like you have no other choice. You lose your magic if you refuse. "
The irritably calm way Dumbledore spoke to made Harry even more angry.
"You don't mean to tell me seriously that you are unable to bypass that shit spell? After all, I don't meet the requirements. "
"Harry, please, watch your language," the old man tried to calm the student.
"I beg your pardon? This is about my life and you are concerned about my expression? Could somebody beat the guy to his senses, please? ”The boy etched.
Surprisingly, Madam Maxime was only too happy to comply. she gave the surprised man a hand over it.
Then she turned back to him.
“Unfortunately it is true. For now you have to participate. "
Harry kneaded the monster book in his hands. He had no desire for the whole thing. hadn't he risked his life enough in the last few years?
Ron and Hermione patted his shoulder. Draco came from the next table too.
"Go Harry, we're sure we can find a way," Hermione tried to comfort him.
“Yes, but why does the work always hang on us? We are children. "
Since it was still quiet in the hall, everyone had heard Harry's words clearly. And it gave some food for thought.
in the meantime Harry was up and stomping forward. The monster book in your arms. He cursed the whole way very colorfully and brooded over the most painful methods possible to get back at the perpetrator for the whole thing. beast accompanied the whole thing with growls and hisses.
When he got to Severus, he held him back.
"I'll take care of it," he whispered to him. Harry nodded. He knew what that meant. even if Severus couldn't get him out of the tournament, he would throw around with some threats. And find the cause of this chaos.
Unfortunately, Sirius wasn't there today. he had an appointment at the bank and wouldn't be back at school until tomorrow.
