Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Page #5

Very funny.

And then he died just when I started school, so...

So I sort of had to make me own way, as it were.

But enough of me. What about you?

This is mad. At this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates.

Well, us and Neville.

Yeah, but, then again, he can take himself.

It might interest you to know that Neville's already got someone.

Now I'm really depressed.

"Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone."

Who you going with, then?

Oi, Angelina? What?

Do you wanna go to the ball with me?

To the ball?

Yeah, all right.

Oi, Hermione.

You're a girl.

Very well spotted.

Come with one of us?

Come on. It's one thing for a bloke to show up alone.

For a girl, it's just sad.

I won't be going alone, because, believe it or not, someone's asked me!

And I said yes!

Bloody hell.

She's lying, right?

If you say so.

Look, we've just gotta grit our teeth and do it.

Tonight, when we get back to the common room...

...we'll both have partners. Agreed?

Agreed.

Cho! Harry!

Watch yourself on the stairs. It's a bit icy at the top.

Okay, thanks.

Cho?

Yes?

Well, I just wondered if you...

I wondered if maybe you wanted to go to the ball with me.

Sorry, I didn't catch that.

I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the ball with me.

Harry...

...I'm sorry, but someone's already asked me.

And...

Well, I've said I'll go with him.

Okay. Yeah. Great.

Fine. No problem.

Okay. Good.

Harry?

I really am...

...sorry.

It's all right, Ron.

It's okay, Ron. It's all right. It doesn't matter.

What happened to you?

He just asked Fleur Delacour out.

What? What did she say?

No, of course.

She said yes? Don't be silly.

There she was, walking by. You know how I like it when they walk.

I couldn't help it. It just sort of slipped out.

Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.

And what did you do then? What else? I ran for it.

I'm not cut out for this, Harry. I don't know what got into me.

Hi, Harry. Hi, Harry.

I always liked looking at them from behind.

She's never gonna forgive me, ever.

Hey!

Bloody hell.

Bloody hell.

Bloody...

Oh, bloody...

What are those? What are those?

My dress robes. Well, they're all right!

No lace. No dodgy little collar.

Well, I expect yours are more traditional.

Traditional?! They're ancient! I look like my Great Aunt Tessie!

I smell like my Great Aunt Tessie.

Murder me, Harry.

Leave it alone!

Poor kid. I bet she's alone in her room, crying her eyes out.

Who? Hermione, of course.

Come on, Harry, why do you think she wouldn't tell us who she's coming with?

Because we'd take the mickey out of her if she did.

Nobody asked her. Would've taken her myself if she wasn't so bloody proud.

Hello, boys. Hello, boys.

Don't you look...

...dashing.

There you are, Potter. Are you and Miss Patil ready?

Ready, professor? To dance.

It's traditional that the three champions... Well, in this case, four.

Are the first to dance.

Surely I told you that. No.

Well, now you know.

As for you, Mr. Weasley, you may proceed into the Great Hall with Miss Patil.

Oh, there you are. Come on, then.

Come along this way.

Oh, come on.

Hi. Now, I need you all to line up...

...in the procession, please. Oh, you are very late.

This way. This way. Come along.

She looks beautiful!

Yeah, she does.

Is that Hermione Granger? With Viktor Krum?

No. Absolutely not.

Hi!

Harry, take my waist.

What? Now!

Are you ready?

Move your body like a hairy troll Learning to rock and roll Spin around like a crazy elf Dancing by himself Boogie down like a unicorn No stopping till the break of dawn Put your hands up in the air Like an ogre who just don 't care Can you dance like a Hippogriff?

Ruddy pumpkinhead, isn't he?

I don't think it was the books that had him going to the library.

May I have your arm?

Arm. Leg. I'm yours.

Hot, isn't it?

Viktor's gone to go and get drinks. Would you care to join us?

No, we'd not care to join you and Viktor.

What's got your wand in a knot?

He's a Durmstrang. You're fraternizing with the enemy.

The enemy? Who was it wanting his autograph?

Besides, the whole point of the tournament...

...is international magical cooperation...

...to make friends.

I think he's got a bit more than friendship on his mind.

Are you going to ask me to dance or not?

No.

He's using you. How dare you?!

Besides, I can take care of myself. I doubt it. He's way too old.

What?! What? That's what you think? Yeah, that's what I think.

You know the solution then, don't you?

Go on. Next time there's a ball...

...pluck up the courage and ask me before somebody else does!

And not as a last resort.

Well, that's... I mean, that's just completely off the point.

Harry.

Where have you been?

Never mind! Off to bed, both of you.

They get scary when they get older. Ron, you spoiled everything!

What's this about?

No, don 't let This magic die The answer's there

Let me see it again.

Yes, the time is close now.

Harry, at last!

Step aside, Wormtail, so I can give our guest a proper greeting.

You all right, Harry?

I just got in.

Me.

Harry, you told me you'd figured the egg out weeks ago.

The task is two days from now. Really? I had no idea.

I suppose Viktor's already figured it out.

Wouldn't know. We don't actually talk about the tournament.

Actually, we don't really talk at all. Viktor's more of a physical being.

I just mean he's not particularly loquacious.

Mostly, he watches me study.

It's a bit annoying, actually.

You are trying to figure this egg out, aren't you?

What's that supposed to mean?

It just means these tasks are designed to test you...

...in the most brutal way. They're almost cruel.

And...

...I'm scared for you.

You got by the dragons mostly on nerve.

I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time.

Hey, Potter!

Potter! Cedric.

How...? How are you?

Spectacular.

I realize I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons.

Forget it. I'm sure you would've done the same for me.

Exactly.

You know the Prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor?

It's not a bad place for a bath.

Just take your egg...

...and mull things over in the hot water.

I must be out of my mind.

I'm definitely out of my mind.

I'd try putting it in the water if I were you.

Myrtle!

Hello, Harry.

Long time no see.

I was circling a blocked drain the other day...

...and could swear I saw a bit of Polyjuice Potion.

Not being a bad boy again, are you, Harry?

Polyjuice Potion?

Kicked the habit. Myrtle, did you say, "Try putting it in the water"?

That's what he did.

The other boy...

...the handsome one...

...Cedric.

Well, go on. Open it.

Come seek us Where our voices sound We cannot sing Above the ground An hour long you'll have to look To recover what we took

Myrtle...

...there aren't merpeople in the Black Lake, are there?

Very good.

It took Cedric ages to riddle it out.

Almost all the bubbles were gone.

Harry, tell me again.
