CHAPTER 1

Monday October 31, 1994

Harry's fourth year was two months in when his life changed. The Triwizard Tournament had been announced back in September and the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons had arrived two weeks into October. Then on Halloween Night is where it all started.

Dumbledore stood by the Goblet of Fire waiting for the first name. The flames changed to a pinkish red and out came the first slip of paper. "The champion for Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour," yelled Dumbledore. All of the Beauxbatons students clapped and cheered for the young lady as she walked to the back of the hall and into the back room. Then when everyone had calmed down a little bit the flames in the cup changed colors again and the next slip of paper came out of the fire. "The champion for Durmstrang is Victor Krum," yelled Dumbledore. At this name the whole hall abounded with cheers for almost everyone there was a huge fan of the Bulgarian Seeker. Once Krum had gone through the door Dumbledore called for quite so as to wait for the last champion. The flames changed once more and out came the slip of paper announcing the Hogwarts champion. "And last the Hogwarts champion is Cedric Diggory," yelled Dumbledore for what everyone thought was the last time. The Hufflepuff were the loudest of all the students in Hogwarts for the champion was from their house after all.

Once all the champions had left Dumbledore was about to send all the student to bed when the flames in the cup changed color again. Everyone looked surprised because it should have gone out once Cedric's name came out of it. Dumbledore caught the paper and just stared at it for a few seconds when all of a sudden he yelled "Harry Potter". Harry just sat where he was shocked. He knew he didn't try to put his name in there so how had it happened. Finally Hermione pushed him out of his seat and he walked up towards the cup. Once there he stopped and turned to look out at everyone and said, "I swear on my magic that I did not put my name in the cup or ask anyone else to do it for me." Then he stood there quietly for a minute before saying "Lumos" and his wand tip lit before he said "Nox" and put it out. He then walked through the door in the back of the hall.

As soon as Harry was through the door all three occupants turned and looked at him. Right on his heels were the 3 headmasters/headmistress and the two judges. A little behind them were Professors McGonagall, Snape, and Moody.

"That was some proof that you didn't put your name in." said Mr. Crouch. "Alas you still have to compete. So everyone please welcome our fourth champion."

There was when they were told that the first round would be at the end of November and that they could only bring their wands with them.

Cedric and Harry left together to head back to their dorms where they both knew there would be parties waiting for them. "I'm really sorry about taking away the glory you and your house have got for being in the tournament." Said Harry. "Don't worry about it, for what it's worth I believe you." Replied Cedric. Then they both said good night and walked off in the opposite direction of each other.

When Harry entered the Gryffindor common room everyone yelled congrats at him and tried to get him to join the party. Some people even asked how he tricked the goblet into making him the fourth champion even though he swore on his magic he didn't. He finally made it to his dorm room only to find an angry Ron. "You can at least tell your best friend the truth. How did you do it?" Ron demanded. Harry got angry and replied "I didn't do it and if you're too stupid to realize that I swore on my magic that I didn't do it then obviously we aren't really best friends then. Good night." And with that Harry got ready for bed and closed the curtains around his four poster bed once he was on it.
