4th Champion
Harry Potter! Dumbledore read the 4th slightly burner parchment that came out off the goblet. The entire hall watched in shocked silence. Harry Potter was stunned sitting between Ron and Hermione. He had felt apprehensive since morning afterall today was Haloween...
Harry Potter Dumbledore nearly shouted, come here. Hermione pushed at his shoulders. Harry you need to go there. Harry stood up collecting his thoughts and wondered. Harry was soon standing in front of Dumbledore. Harry go there in the champions anteroom.
Sir, how did my name come out of the Goblet Harry asked? You put the age line and promised no underage wizard can participate.? I dso not want to participate in this tournament..
Dumbledore was speechless.
When it is a triwizard tournament how can there be 4 champions? Which is the school I am supposed to be representing? Since Cedric is Hogwart's Champion, does it mean I am no longer a student of Hogwarts?
Those are some interesting questions, that was the question going through everyone's mind,..
Dumbledore looked helplessly at his neighbours, Crouch, Ludo, the heads of other participating schools, who all looked thoughtful..
Since your name came out of goblet you must participate you are magically bound. Crouch announced it like a final verdict.
Sir, firstly I am minor, I can not make contracts my guardians will have to do that. Secondly that wiil go against the principle of magical guardianship and put my magical guardian at risk for endangering my life by consenting to allow me to participate in a tournament for wizards and witches of age..Harry stated calmly, his mind always worked well in crisis, thanks to Dursleys.
Dumbledore's face has gone pale, though Harry did not know, he had declared himself as Harry's magical guardian..
Harry waited patiently..
Are you saying that you did not put your name and did not ask a senior student to put your name Mr. Potter ? Ludo asked.
Would that have worked sir.? The goblet is a powerful magical artifact.. Harry wondered..
Looking around at the head table Crouch noted Dumbledore is looking shocked, he decided he needs to take charge.
We need to investigate this. Crouch said we need to inform DMLE Crouch stated..As a former head of DMLE his Autor senses were on alert. He touched his ministry badge. Mr Potter please sit there, he conjured a table and chair in a corner outside the champions anteroom. He looked at head table and looked at junior professors and signalled a younger professor to join Harry Potter.
Please professor keep an eye on the boy. Do not allow anyone to talk to him not even the headmaster or his head of house or his friends
