Goblet of fire

The next day... The school went back to normal and everyone went to their classes...

The fourth-year really begins.

In one of the school halls.

Everyone here was gathering while looking at The Goblet of Fire... the magical object that selects the participants for the tournament.

The Goblet of Fire was the "impartial judge" for the Triwizard Tournament, who chose which students will represent their respective schools during the upcoming tasks of the tournament.

To enter the Tournament, one needs to write his name on a paper and throw it into the Goblet of fire.

And when the time comes for the champion selection, the fire will eject the paper again... Of course, only the selected participant paper...

This year the ministry added a new rule that only the students over seventeen years old can participate in the tournament...

For this, almost all young students felt helpless...

Dumbledore even drew an age line to prevent the young student to cheat and join...

Well... Not all of them though...

Gray sat beside Hermione explaining to her about some things she couldn't understand in the book.

He does this from time to time, the books of the entire school were in his mind... he ended them in the first year... In fact, he can even be a teacher in the school if he wants, just relying on the knowledge in his head...

And Hermione was aware of this, so she wasted no effort and always came to him...

While Perona beside Gray was looking at the students who threw paper with their names in the Goblet with some interest in her eyes...

She really wants to try... That sounds fun...

The students kept coming here and put their names in the Goblet, while Harry and Ron were watching this enviously...

Especially Ron... This boy was dying for the so-called glory... If he can, he will probably be the first one to try!

"We are here!!!!" Ron's twin brothers Fred and George Weasley entered the hall suddenly and made a big noise... Which attracted everyone's attention...

They actually brought an aging potion with them planning to use it and put their names in the Goblet...

Well... Their idea was to use a very stupid method.... so stupid that Dumbledore shouldn't even think of defending against it...

Yeah... this twin way of thinking was simply brilliant... It's just that Dumbledore's mind was more brilliant than them... So they failed ridiculously...

"What are you doing?" Hermione saw Gray writing his name on paper and asked with a doubtful face...

It's obvious what Gray wanted to do... But he shouldn't be stupid and try like the others... After all the rules were clear, only 17+ can try... He can't enter this game...

"Since others can, there is no reason I can't..." Gray smiled and walked to the Goblet.

"No, you..." Hermione wanted to say something, but Gray already threw his name in the fire and walked out from the ring normally...

1 Second... 10 seconds...

"O.O...." All the students had the same reaction on their faces...

Shouldn't Gray be thrown out like the others? Shouldn't he be rejected by the age line?

How old Gray was right now? Come to think about it... Really how old Gray was right now???

He was actually about to enter his thirty... And even Perona was almost 28y old... But even if he said this, no one will believe it probably.

"I also want to try...." Perona saw Gray doing this, and didn't hold herself anymore... Since Gray doesn't mind, there was no reason not to try either...

For this, Gray only smiled and said nothing... Anyway, he will be the chosen one...

The students around became like beans... Not only Gray, but even Perona did this, so they thought something went wrong with the cup and tried to add their names... But all of them were thrown out by the age line...

So in their minds, Gray and Perona should have found a way to cheat... But they don't dare to say anything... Please... Even though Perona didn't show her ghosts like usual... But it's still scary... Only some new students didn't know about the ghost princess...

The fear Perona planted in them already rooted deeply...

"Gray! how did you do it...?" Ron looked at all this and came to Gray's side and asked excitedly... Not only him almost everyone had the same reaction... But only him dared to ask...

"Hmmm, Just did it..." Gray touched his face as if thinking and then gave his answer with a smile...

"...." Ron froze in his place not knowing what to say...

Why would Gray join the Tournament?

Well... This year's real prize was not the cup or glory... But a lifetime chance to meet the dark lord in a weak chicken state...

The best time to copy Voldemort? Of course, while he's weak...

Beside... there was no reason to waste time anymore... Gray was planning to end Voldemort's problem this year...

Since he doesn't have much time anymore, then he doesn't have any reason to keep his current way of action... Killing Voldemort will reduce many tragedies that might happen next...

And even if he kept the plot... There was no real gain for him anymore...

So here's the plan...

First, catch Voldemort and copy everything he needs... Then use him and his memories as a bargaining chip with Dumbledore, so he can also copy this old man too... Then... He was not sure...

In fact, even the skills both Voldemort and Dumbledore have, mostly he also have them... It was all about the mastery(The size of the skill) different... And of course a few other special skills...

After doing this, Gray will hunt the few real last things that he wants...

The day passed like this and more and more students gathered in the hall.

Gray didn't leave and kept teaching Hermione what he knew, he found that being a teacher was fun somehow... Well... though it was fun, only because Hermione was learning fast... If he was teaching a normal person, Gray would have already given up...

And soon the three Headmasters and the teachers entered the hall...

Seeing Dumbledore appeared, the students sorted themselves on their seats, clearing the way for Dumbledore to reach the Goblet...

Now the three champions will be selected... Naturally, everyone wanted to know who will the champions be...

In a few words, everyone calmed down and Dumbledore started drawing the names...

And it was almost the same...

Form the Durmstrang Institute, the bear looking boy Viktor Krum was chosen...

And from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, it was a girl called Fleur Delacour, Ron's future sister in law...

And finally, it came to Hogwarts champion...

Gray watched the cup calmly... He was not worried that his name won't be chosen... Since a stinky death eater can force the cup to choose Harry as a fourth champion even though there should only be three... Naturally, he can do the same thing silently...

So like this, Gray will take the place of Cedric Diggory... The unlucky kid who won the tournament but still lost his life...

And he was not really cheating ... after all, his age was within the rules... Except for the fact that he used magic to force the cup to choose him...

With a wave of Dumbledore's hand, the Goblet blue fire became red again and another piece of paper came out...

"And Hogwarts champion is... Gray...." Dumbledore read the paper and froze in his place for a second...

"Gray!" Hermione, Ron, and Harry heard Gray's name and looked at Gray beside them with shook...

While Perona beside Gray looked at him as if saying; *Why did you cheat?*

Not only them almost all the hall students looked at Gray at the same time.

*Gray!* Unlike other normal people... Gray's name on one word... Gray... No second name at all...

And the only person who had such a name was the little white-haired boy...

Gray ignored the weird eyes of everyone and walked to Dumbledore's side with a calm face...

For this, no one said anything... Dumbledore was standing there, so there was no right for them to say anything... Except for a few other school students who felt that Gray was too young to join the game...

"Go in..." Dumbledore looked at Gray for a few seconds and didn't ask but said calmly...

As for Gray, he walked to the champions room, ignoring the others... Anyway, they have Harry to worry about after...

...

...

"Yo Harry...??" Gray looked at the nervous harry who came after him and greeted him with a smile.

"Gray... you...I..." Harry wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the sound of the teachers came from behind.

("HARRY!" Dumbledore ran to Harry and attacked him calmly...[It's a joke... In the book, it said he asked calmly, but in the movie, he became a tiger...])

As soon as everyone came in, they directly surrounded Harry and started asking...

Dumbledore asked Harry if he did or let another student put his name...

But Harry denied all this...

Things happened fast, but in fact, there was nothing they could do about it... The fact that the cup chose him can't be changed...

The moment the Goblet chose them they were subject to a binding magical contract in which they can not back out of the tournament... In other words... Harry can't withdraw...

"And you Gray! What is happening here! Why your name also appeared!" Professor McGonagall turned her face at Gray and became a devil directly asking...
