Harry has thrown his name into the Goblet of Fire. No one believes him.
HARRY. Do you have any ideas of who could have thrown your name in the GOBLET of FIRE????? Asked Dumbledore calmly.
It was me Headmaster. I throw it in. Came the reply. The arrogance of the boy. Claiming that he got through the defenses. Just like his father. Snarled Snape.
.
Harry finally got through the party and into the room. He saw Ron face shadowed on his bed.
He looked up and said, with tears in his eyes:
Mate, we will figure out who put you in this deathtrap. Don’t worry I will be with you every step of the way.
But Ron it was me!
Ron looked at Harry with a bitter smile: Don’t worry I understand. You want to be consistent, and don’t want to slip up. Mate I will back you up when you say this, but know that I know the truth.
.
No matter who he told, no one believed him. He even caught conversation snippets, from teacher, who were worrying that the shock of being selected must have made him cope this way. The Headmaster even said that he will do his best to find who put his name into the goblet, and to get him out of the tournament.
.
He has did it, he has gotten the golden egg from a dragon! With a pretty good score to bout. Now he will be able to convince everyone that it was his choice! And maybe even get himself a girlfriend through the Yule Ball. He already had some ideas…
His inner celebration was interrupted by a widely smiling Dumbledore:
Great news Harry. It turned out it was an impersonator of Professor Moody, working for Voldemort. We even caught the Ex-Dark Lords spirit and none else than Peter Pettigrew. Of course, the ministry is slow, so don’t worry you can spend one more summer with your loving relatives before moving in with Sirius, if you want to.
With this we could dissolve the spell binding you to the tournament. And one other more age appropriate one:
You don’t have to worry about the ball. The original plan was 5th years up, but as a champion you were needed, so we lowered it to 4th. But now that that was solved, we can raise it back again. So, you don’t have to worry about these kinds of things for at least a year.
With that the twinkling eyed grandfatherly smiling Albus, have left the dumbfounded Harry alone.
