Chapter 115: Chaos in the Great Hall
Soon came time for the goblet of fire to select the champions, all three schools were in the great hall. Everyone sat in anticipation, waiting for the results. The goblet of fire flared.
"The goblet of fire is about to make a decision" Dumbledore said to the hall "in a moment I will call on the champions and they will please enter the next chamber through the great hall for their briefing. Good luck!"
The flames of the goblet turned red and a piece of parchment shot out of it, it flew to Dumbledore's hand. He read it out loud "The Drumstrang champion is…Victor Krum!" The all cheered as Krum made his way out of the chamber when another paper flew into Dumbledore's hand "The Beauxbatons champion is….Fleur Delacour!" Fleur stood up to cheering as well, and made her way out of the hall. Then a third name flew out of the goblet and landed in Dumbledore's hand. "The Hogwarts champion is…Cedric Diggory!"
The entire hall cheered as Cedric Diggory, a rather popular Hufflepuff, made his way forwards, he took his parchment from Dumbledore and made his way to the other champions.
"Excellent!" Dumbledore said "Now that our three champions have been selected, I hope that we can all give them our..." Dumbledore was cut off when the Goblet of fire flared a fourth time, and a fourth piece of parchment flew into Dumbledore's hand. "H...Harry Potter" Dumbledore whispered "Harry Potter!" He shouted. This was not part of his plan. The whole hall turned to Harry.
"Hey now" Harry stood up "I've done a lot of crazy shit in my time, but I didn't enter my name in that Goblet"
"Liar!" Ron Weasley shouted. The goblet of fire turned red again, and a fifth piece of parchment flew out. It landed in Dumbledore's hand
"A...Adrian Potter!" Dumbledore read it out loud "Adrian Potter!" At least something was going to plan
"What?!" Adrian stood up "I didn't even enter!"
"Mr Potter, will you and your brother please make your way to the champions chamber?" Dumbledore said.
Harry quickly gave Daphne and Rose a kiss on the head, while Adrian looked towards Hermione and Ron, his heart sank when he saw both of them glaring at him. He and Harry slowly made their way to the front to take their parchment, a few people in the hall booed and shouted at them, calling them cheaters. When they got to the front, Harry grabbed Adrian by the shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. Harry leaned closer and whispered something into his brothers ear.
"Will you both please make your way to the champions chamber?" Dumbledore repeated, Harry had just finished his whispering. Adrian nodded at him, both brothers pulled out their wands.
"I, Harry James Potter" Harry shouted
"I, Adrian Charles Potter" Adrian shouted, Dumbledore's eyes widened as he realised what was happening, as did many in the hall
"swear on my life and magic" Harry said with Adrian repeating each word that Harry said "that I did not knowingly, nor willingly enter my name into the goblet of fire nor did I ask another student to do it for me, so mote it be!" A bright light flashed around the two brothers, signifying the magical vow taking place.
"Oh, look brother, we're still alive" Harry smiled
"It seems so brother" Adrian replied "Lumos" Adrian's light lit up "Ah look, we still have magic too. Nox"
"How strange brother, that must mean we didn't enter" Harry tilted his head slightly
"I concur" Adrian concurred "do we still have to go to the champions chamber?" Adrian asked Dumbledore
"Uh...yes, yes you must" Dumbledore said, regaining his composure
"Very well" Harry said loudly "I don't suppose it matters, we've sworn we didn't want to be in this tournament, but we may as well brother"
"Fine, let's go Harry" Adrian said as both brothers took their parchment from the headmaster and made their way into the champions chamber.
"Harry?" Fleur said when Harry and Adrian entered the room "Do they want us back inside?"
"Somethings gone wrong" Harry said "me and my brothers names have come out of the goblet for some reason"
"What? How?" Krum asked
"I suspect foul play" Harry replied as Dumbledore rushed in with Barty Crouch Sr, the Drumstrang headmaster, the Beuaxbaton headmistress, McGonagall, Snape and Mad-eye Moody.
"Adrian!" He rushed over to Adrian and put his hands on Adrian's shoulders "Did you put your name in the goblet of fire?!"
"Are you senile?!" Harry pushed Dumbledore's arms off of Adrian "We both swore on our lives and magic that we didn't enter, now as brilliant as I am, I haven't yet worked out how to trick magic"
"Yeah, it's true" Adrian nodded "we never entered"
"And put your hand on my brother again and I will press charges" Harry threatened Dumbledore
"What is this Dumbledore?!" Igor Karkaroff demanded "Three Hogwarts champions!"
"Madam Maxime" Fleur said "if Harry said he did not enter then I believe him"
"Very well, but it does not make the situation any more fair" The headmistress replied
"I insist that we be allowed to pick two more champions" Karkaroff said
"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that" Dumbledore sighed "the goblet has gone out, it cannot be relit until the next tournament"
"Yeah, well I don't give a damn for that tournament or this one" Harry interrupted "me and my brother will not be competing"
"I'm sorry" Barty Crouch said "but the goblet of fire is a magically binding contract, you two must compete"
"But we didn't enter!" Adrian objected
"You must still complete"
"We really didn't enter!" Adrian said to the Hogwarts teachers
"I'm sorry Adrian" Dumbledore replied "but you must compete"
"Oh, for Merlin's sake" Harry shouted, drawing his wand. "Enough of this"
He quickly fired a spell off at Moody, Moody just blocked the first spell when Harry fired a second one which destroyed his fake leg. Moody fell to the floor when he was hit with a body bind and a stunner, by this point all the adults had their wands pointed at Harry while Adrian and the champions looked at him in shock.
"Mr Potter!" Dumbledore shouted "Lower your wand!"
"Accio hipflask" Harry said and Moody's hipflask flew into Harry's hand, he tossed it to Snape "would you mind telling me what that is Professor?" Snape brought the flask up to his nose and sniffed it.
"Hmm, it's Polyjuice" Snape said "that Moody is an imposter"
"Yeah, and you don't need to be a Ravenclaw to work out who put our names in" Harry said "call the aurors and call our parents, this meeting is over. Come on Adrian" Harry grabbed Adrian and pulled him out of the room
"Harry, that was awesome!" Adrian exclaimed
"Thanks" Harry grinned "but I should warn you, be prepared for hard days"
"What? Why?"
"Because we're still in that bloody tournament, and knowing this place we'll probably have to compete. Plus there's Weasley and Granger"
"But we swore on our life and magic that we didn't enter"
"Let's see if those two possess enough brain cells to remember that" Harry responded "personally, I doubt they will. As of the moment, we only have one thing we can do"
"What's that?"
"Get some popcorn and wait for mum to come and demolish Dumbledore"
