Harry sighed due to exhaustion. He was sleeping on a couch in the Room of Requirement, with his head on Daphne's lap, with her playing with his hair.

"I can't believe Dumbledore would put my name in himself" muttered Harry.

"Me neither" said Daphne softly. "I didn't think he would want to get his hands dirty, but I guess he was desperate. Dobby stopped Crouch's attempt which was why the fourth parchment came out blank, but it looks like Dumbledore put your name in the goblet before he placed it in the entrance hall; which was when Dobby started his watch. Are you sure there is no way out?" she asked, stroking his face with her hand, looking at him worriedly.

"No" said Harry. "There is no written contract between the champions and the Goblet of Fire. It is implied that once chosen, you will have to see it through to the end. The rules state the same as well. But I have ensured that they don't brand me as the Hogwarts champion. That went very well with the student population, though I don't like their looks of pity any better."
