A Name in a Goblet

Chapter Seven: Trying and Failing to Help Harry

(Tiger's wand and a video clip.)

I was in shock like everyone else as I saw him get up people were calling him names such as cheater and how it was unfair but I knew that Harry wouldn't do this so snucked in heads room with him to try to convince someone to not to let him do this. When I had gotten in there they were all surrounding Harry. "Stop!" I yelled everyone turned around to see me, "Tiger,What are you doing here?" Jorden asked surprised. "Jorden, you can't make Harry do this!" I begged. "Miss Hohnsen we appreciate your concern but we have no choice but to make Harry a Triwizard champion." "No!" Then I thought of something, "W-What if you found the culprit?" I asked. "I'm not sure if that would matter right now." Said Madam Maxine I breathed in a sigh then said, "It was me. I used one of the curses we learned about in class on my cousin so that he would put Harry's name in the cup." Once I finished there was a strong silence it was broken by my cousin who was laughing mantically as soon as he had finished he told everyone, "That was rich. Anyways, I have three reasons why that would never happen. One, It wouldn't work. Two, You're likely to use the wrong curse. And lastly Three,I will kill you before you even have a chance." Professor Snape then glared at him. "What it's true. He said causally,But as you can see she's lying." I frowned disappointed because I couldn't help Harry out of this what made things worst is that professor Dumbledore had Jorden take me outside by then everyone was gone and we were sitting in two on the chairs, it was quite until he said, "Hey, I'm sorry about your brother but Tiger rule are rules I couldn't do anything." I sighed then said, "I know and i'm sorry I put you on the spot." "It's going to okay,Tiger. I heard some good things about that from Severus, usually being insults but Harry has been through a lot of things and I know this tournament is going to be hard on him but I also know that as long as you're by his side supporting him, he'll be fine." I smiled then said, "Thank you Jorden." He then told me, "Oh and you tell anyone I said something like this I will murder you." "I promise." I told him as the door opened again. I saw Harry and Cedric they were leaving while talking together. I deiced to leave them be figuring that it was important then head off to bed. The next morning Harry and Ron were fighting, Hermione told Harry and I that Ron was hurt due to the attention Harry was getting for this. "That's stupid! This is a bad thing." I told them both. "You're telling me." Harry muttered. "I'm going to talk to him." I told them while leaving. Once I found Ron, he was with a group a students. "Ron!" I called his name. "Great, did Hermione send you?" He grumbled. "No, I came by myself. Why are you ignoring Harry it's not like he wanted this to happen." I said to him as he started to walk away. "Leave me alone, I don't want to hear it." "Well he's your best friend at least I like to hope he still is." I told him angrily blocking his way. "Well I don't want a lier as best friend or even as a friend." Shoving me out of his way. "He's not a lier!" I yelled shoving him to the ground and before we know it I was fighting one of my friends. We were then broken up by an angry professor Mcgonagall and Snape. On the way to Professor Dumbledore's office Ron kept glaring at me. Once Professor Snape said the password he told Professor Mcgonagall to take us up there because he was going to get my cousin. I shuttered at the thought of Jorden when he finds out. My thoughts were broken by Professor Dumbledore who asked us what had happened Ron begins telling him his side then I told my side with Ron interrupting from time to time professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment then told us, "Mister Weasley I will be sending a letter to your family about this and I let your head of house decide your punishment." He then turned towards me, "Miss Hohnsen, your cousin will be notified of this incident and will decide what your punishment will be." I frowned sinking deep in my chair I could hear Ron mutter, "Lucky." But he has no idea of the fate that awaits me. Suddenly I heard arguing, professor Dumbledore said, "Ah he comes now." "Sorry i'm late I was trying to get over the shock about learning that my baby cousin was in a fight. Now who won and did anyone take bets?" "Hohnsen!" Said professor Snape in angry tone. "What? I was just trying to lighten the mood. Anyways back to all seriousness. Are you a fucking dumbass?" He screamed at me, "What did I told you about fighting,huh? Only kick the asses of people that want to harm your friends or family! God damnit, I should kick your ass for this! You know what?" He then picked me up slugging me over his shoulder, I'm going to punish you the way I know best." He told me as we went down the stairs, down the hall way and into his room swinging me on to him bed. "I'm going to punish you one of the best ways I know how." He told me with a wicked grin he when to his closet pulling out something then said, "With public humiliation." I then saw that the thing he pulled out it was my old play clothes from when I was a little kid. "You still kept those?" I asked him amazed. "Fuck no, your parents gave me these a while back. I just forgotten to give them to you." "Oh, alright then why do you have them out?" "Put them on, they're part of your punishment." He tossed them to me then shoved me into his bathroom, I notice that it was clean but the toilet seat was raised up. I just shooked my head. I tried putting my head through my old faded red shirt since it seemed like the easiest thing to do and to my surprise it grew to my size. "He must have put a expanding charm on these when he had gotten them out." I muttered to myself as I put on my overalls. Once I was done I stepped out, "Alright now hold still and don't blink." He told me as he took out his wand with a grin I was worried but did as he said, "Puer Reformandam!" Suddenly the room was much bigger and my cousin was much taller, "What happened?" I covered my mouth I sounded like a five year old, "Surprise baby cousin! The charm I used on you transformed you back into you child form have fun with your new caretaker and tell me how'd it went." There was a knock at the door my cousin then said, "Come in kid, she's all yours." Standing in the doorframe was Ron Weasley.
