Shock was all that Atticus felt in this moment. Her hands shook as the great hall went silent. The name Dumbledore had uttered sent a wave of chills down everyone's spine.

            "Harry Potter." He said once again in a louder, more demanding tone. This time, chills erupted amongst Atticus' classmates.

            "He's not even seventeen yet!"

            "He's a cheat!"

            Atticus had her eyes set on Harry's retreating figure. The only thing on her mind was Harry's innocence.

            Harry stared blankly at the piece of paper in front of him. Did A believe he put his name in? Would she even want to speak to him?

            Doubt was rushing through his mind like a raging river. He shook his head and grabbed his quill.

            "I guess there's nothing to lose."

To A,

            Deal.

            Do you believe I did it? Because I swear to you I didn't. Ron refuses to acknowledge my innocence and is now giving me the silent treatment. Along with everyone else in my year, aside from Hermione and I hope you too.

            Honestly, I have no idea my name was put into the goblet. I don't want this. I don't want this. I don't want this.

-Harry
