By now it was morning, and I still couldn't believe I actually conversed with Harry. He didn't seem to think I was weird...well, partially.
Today I start Hogwarts as a 7th year. Which means a lot more dedication is involved..unfortunately, but i'm sure i'll get through it..Definitely.
Everyone, Including my friends, were talking about the tri-wizard tournament that was coming up.
I'm sure i'd be entered in this one, most definitely.

3 days have passed(Hogwarts)
Today was the day where our names were to be chosen, out of the Goblet Of Fire.
I sat with the rest of the Hufflepuffs, and I noticed Harry on the Gryffindor team. That's all I could really focus on, until Dumbledore yelled "Cedric Diggory!" and My friends, and everyone else started applauding.
I smiled because I was being praised and acknowledged, as I noticed Harry was rooting for me too.
Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum we're then chosen...
It was silent, very silent, as I thought that was the last script of paper, but it wasn't...The goblet was designed to only pick 3 competitors, instead it chose 4..
"Harry Potter" Those were the words..that came out of dumbledore's mouth..and i could see the amount of confusion on everyone's face. They were baffled.
How was this possible? It only allowed if you were of age...Harry was only 15. And if anything, i'm sure the goblet would decline, and refuse to put his name in there..
But it happened
The boy seemed as if he didn't wanna go. Until Hermione pushed him to go up there. It was silent...and the stares were intensifying, Harry felt awkward...and confused. Thus until when he got down the stairs, Dumbledore game rushing through, and held Harry by his collar, "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!" he yelled frantically, "No, sir!" Harry said in a much politer tone, just more frightened. "He's obviously lying!" a womanly voice yelled from behind them, "Are you absolutely sure?!" Dumbledore reassured him, "Yes sir.." Harry responded. All of the head masters and teachers started to talk with each other, Harry was scared himself, he didn't understand.
Cedric was standing next to the fireplace, with Viktor and Fleur, as he watched all of this happen. Still thinking upon what could have happened. He wished he could hug Harry, since the smaller boy seemed genuinely frightened. All he heard was, "As of now..Tonight...Harry is a triwizard champion.."

I could say i was about to wet myself out of fear but the confusion part made me stop myself from doing that.
I couldn't believe it...the first task was coming up in an hour, It was to retrieve a golden egg from the nest of a dragon..
We all chose our dragons out of this very small bag, Fleur randomly chose a
Welsh Green Dragon, Viktor chose a Chinese Fireball, Cedric ended up with The Swedish Short-snout, and Harry, The Hungarian Horntail.
Cedric went first, he succeeded by transfiguring a boulder into a Labrador Dog, it confused and diverted the attention of the dragon, which gave him enough time to steal the egg, winning 38 Points.
Fleur going second, Managed to charm her dragon in a trance, when the dragon fell asleep and snored, the flames went and set her robes aflame.
Viktor going third, using a curse which later on caused his dragon to go in complete rage, damaging other eggs. He ranked, 40 points.
Harry, going fourth, and last, decided to summon his new broom, (Firebolt) which tempted the dragon to follow the broom, Harry had quite the while, when the eggs were unguarded he had enough time to quickly swoop the item, and complete the task, winning the highest rank, 40 points.
Nearly all of them were injured, Cedric was burned on one side, though his dragon decided to pick him instead of the Labrador. Fleur had obvious damage to her robes and herself, while Harry was slashed by one of the dragon's spikes, when it attempted to attack him.
Overall..The boy proved worthy of himself, as many people doubted him.
The next tournament was very few months away, as they all had time to recover.
Meanwhile Cedric's feelings grew stronger for Harry, as he showed how brave and talented he was, as they grew stronger every...single...day...

The next task had already arrived, Making all champions have to rescue something important in their life, that was held by Merpeople deep down in the Hogwarts Lake.
To survive in the Lake, Every Champion used a charm, or magic, to make them be able to withstand the water. Harry using Gillyweed to turn him into a fish..well, partly. Viktor turned himself into a shark, While Fleur and Cedric used a Bubble charm, that was similar to a sorta scuba diver protection.
The things they saw as important were at the bottom of the lake, in need of help. Harry chose to save Ron. While Cedric decided to save Cho. He knew they already weren't together anymore, but he couldn't think of anyone else that would be up to actually be stuck underwater
When everyone was told to jump in the water, harry was a little late, he ate the gillyweed but it hurt him, it always hurt to transform, until many people pushed him into the water, He was sinking, and struggling, Neville worried that he gave one of his friends something that would kill them, all he could think of was "Oh my god...i think i've just killed Harry Potter" Eventually that thought faded, when Harry leaped in the air, from the water, and flopped back into the water like a fish, everyone cheered.
When he was swimming, he heard this beautiful noise near by..it was merpeople, singing in harmony, when he was swimming towards the music something swam by him, screeching, he got out of there quick enough and kept swimming, when he got past the seaweed he saw Ron and hermione, they looked lifeless and they were tied by their leg, floating a few inches above. There was screeching near by, and a yellow looking, almost golden light, When the screeching went away, Cedric came through, he was trying to save Cho who looked the same as Ron and hermione, He gave Harry a gesture and sort of stood there for a while, and just examined harry's features underwater, then swam upward to save the girl, and possibly win.
Viktor came by with his shark head, which scared harry and made him move, Viktor took Hermione. By now Fleur was disqualified and lost the task, Fleur chose to save her sister, which she didn't get a chance to. Harry tried pulling Ron up but the merpeople refused and started attacking the boy.
He struggled and moved around trying to get them off of him, until he used his wand to fight them off. He managed to grab Ron and Fleur's sister, then started swimming to the surface, when he did...something tried pulling him down, by now he thought, "I can't let them go down with me" so he sent Ron and her sister up to the surface so they could live, Harry was being brought down by some of Grindylows. He used his wand to repel them and they all scattered.
He got injured pretty badly, his ability to move was very little, But he Couldn't give up now..
He grabbed his wand one last time, and pointed it upward, then whispered, brokenly "A-ascendio" Out of strength the boy went up to the surface, and made it up to the water, everyone cheered and dumbledore insisted on everyone helping the boy by getting him towels, Fleur thanked him for saving her sister, she also thanked Ron by giving him two kisses on the cheek, which he dearly appreciated.
Hermione was asking Harry if he was okay while she was touching him and holding his face so often she was hurting him, while he was whispering soft "Ouches"
When Cedric was dried off he immediately wanted to see if Harry was alright, so he basically shoved Hermione aside and gave him a hug, which out of nowhere happened, he was very embarrassed because everyone was staring, but also because he was hurting Harry. He looked at him and never wanted to kiss him in front of everyone so badly...
But he didn't.
He kept his cool and acted normal and gave him a "Nice match" then a thumbs up.
Jeez this is gonna be a while...
