"Of course it's irregular. And Harry didn't put our names in, I did" I finally say looking at the paper with our names on it.

"How? How did you do it?" Dumbledore asks

"I asked an older student to do it for me" I answer

"Who? WHo did you ask?" Dumbledore asks grabbing me by the shoulder

I look at him and brush his hands off my shoulders

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that professor. I promised Him I wouldn't tell" I say calmly

Mr. Bagman looks at Mr. Crouch, who was standing outside the circle of light from the fire. He looked hesitant before he spoke

"We must follow the rules, and the rules clearly state that those whose names come out of the goblet of fire are bound to compete in the tournament" Mr. Crouch says nervously

I look at Harry and he rolls his eyes. Dumbledore takes a breath and looks at Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman as one of them takes out a jumble of papers from their robes.

"The first task is designed to test your daring," Mr. Crouch starts. "So we are not going to tell you what it is. Courage in the face of the unknown is an important quality in a wizard... Very important. The first task will take place on November the twenty fourth, in front of the other students and a panel of judges. The champions are not permitted to ask for help or accept help of any kind from their teachers to compete, except for the Potters of course, the two of you will be allowed to switch out or jump in if the other needs help. The champions will face the first challenge armed only with their wands. They will receive information about the second task when the first is over. according to the demanding and time-consuming nature of the tournament, the Champions are excused from any and all end of the term tests"

Dumbledore lets us go back to our dorms as he leads the professors to his office. I walk with Harry back to the Gryffindor tower. We go in and everyone gets excited and cheers for Harry. He lets everyone tell him how excited they were for him and I'm not getting any attention tonight, Fred seems to notice and comes over to me.

"Hey there" He says

"Hi" I respond

"You in the Triwizard Tournament. Who would've thought" He says half proud and half worried

"Well the world is playing in my favor lately" I lie

He laughs and grabs my hand leading me up to the boys dormitory. I flop down on his bed and roll over to look at him

"What's really going on?" He asks

I sit up and look at him.

"I never realized what little time I had left. I wanted to be around a bit longer" I say quietly

"Well we just have to make the best of it then" Fred tells me

Suddenly Harry bursts in the room with Ron, Dean Thomas, George, Hermione and Seamus Finnigan behind him

"What the Bloody Hell were you thinking, Issy? You know I don't want to compete and then Dumbledore yells at me for no reason, for what" Harry yells

Fred gets up and stands in front of Harry getting mad.

"You watch your tone Harry" Fred says

I try to step in between them and I grab Fred's hand but he hits me instead. I take a few steps back and everyone looks at me, the room goes quiet. I put my hand to my face feeling the blood on my nose and the burning in my cheek.

"Issy, love. I didn't mean to" Fred says in shock

I don't say any thing to anyone as I walk out with blood dripping down my nose. Everyone in the Gryffindor common room goes quiet as I walk through
