Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Chapter 1: TheRiddle House

"I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give

their right hands to perform..."

Voldemort, toWormtail

Nagini in The Riddle House.

The story begins in theMuggle-occupied village ofLittle Hangleton, many decades ago, around theRiddle

House. The Riddles (not exclusively stated but implied), consisting of Tom Riddle Sr. and his parents, have

been found dead in their house, "still in their dinner things." The police have found no evidence of any kind

of murder or suicide, claiming to be in perfect health condition except for the fact that they were dead.

Readers can assume it is theAvada Kedavracurse. They arrest the innocent caretaker, Frank Bryce,

though he says the only person he saw that day was amysterious dark-haired boy. He is released, but

many still believe he committed the murders.

Half a century later, an elderly Frank is still working as the groundskeeper at the Riddle house. He sees a

fire flickering in one of the rooms and goes over to investigate; he thinks it is a couple boys who regularly

disturb him. Inside, he overhearsWormtailandLord Voldemortplanning to capture Harry Potter with the aid

of a reliable servant. Voldemort, Frank learns, also plans to reward Wormtail for his help in capturingBertha

Jorkins, aMinistry of Magicemployee who Voldemort extracted information from before killing. Frank is

then discovered by Voldemort's snakeNagini.He stands up to Voldemort, but is horrified upon seeing Lord

Voldemort. Voldemort then casts theAvada Kedavracurse, ending Frank's life before the book can

describe what Voldemort looks like. Simultaneously, Harry wakes up from a nightmare at the Dursley's

house.

Chapter 2: TheScar

Harry feeling his scar hurting.

"A weird thing happened this morning, though. My scar hurt again. Last time that happened it

was because Voldemort was at Hogwarts."

Harry, writing to Sirius.

The experience is shown to be a dream that Harry had, and he wakes up with his scar hurting. Harry

considers writing to his best friendsRon WeasleyandHermione Granger, as well as the Hogwarts

HeadmasterAlbus Dumbledore, but eventually decides to write aletterto his godfatherSirius Black, an

escaped but innocent convict. Harry does not mention the dream, only his scar hurting, and plans to send

the letter once Hedwig gets back.

Chapter 3: TheInvitation"P.S. I do hope we've put enough stamps on."

Molly Weasley,in the letter to the Dursleys.

The invitation with too many stamps.

The next day, Saturday,a letterfromMolly Weasleyaddressed to theDursleysarrives, She asks if Harrycan join Hermione and the Weasley family to go to theQuidditch World Cupfinal

betweenIrelandandBulgaria.Unfortunately, the letter upsetsVernon Dursleybecause there are so many

stamps on the envelope that the postman actually rang the doorbell to laugh about it. However, one

mention of Sirius Black is enough to convinceVernon Dursleyto let Harry go. Harrywrites back toRon

(after a letter from Ron was delivered by Ron's owlPigwidgeon) confirming that they can come pick him up.

Harry writes an extra sentence or two to Sirius's letter explaining that he will be heading toThe

Burrowbefore sending the letter via Hedwig.

Chapter 4: Back toThe Burrow

r. !easley destroying the "ursley#s sitting room.

"They'll take the boy and go, there'll be no hanging around. That's if they're coming at all.

Probably mistake the day. I dare say their kind don't set much store by punctuality. Either that or

they drive some tinpot car that's broken d- AAAAAAAARRRRRGH!"

Vernon Dursley, about the Weasley's visit.On Sunday afternoon, the Weasleys attempt to useFloo powderto access the Dursley household, unaware

that they have an electric fireplace. The Dursleys are shocked afterMr. Weasleydestroys half the sitting

room. Mr. Weasley sends the boys back, but not before Fred purposely drops aTon-Tongue Toffeeon the

floor.Dudley Dursley, unable to resist due to a diet the family has been following and his fondness for

sweets of all sorts, attempts to eat it and experiences the magical effects of a bigger tongue. Harry exits for

the Burrow as Uncle Vernon starts throwing china figurines at Mr. Weasley.

$ill and %harlie enchanting tables outside the $urrow.

"We've been hearing explosions out of their room for ages, but we never thought they were

actually making things, we thought they just liked the noise."

Ginny Weasleyabout Fred and George experiments.

Upon arriving at the Burrow, Harry meets Ron's older brothersBillandCharlie.Before they have a chance

to talk, Mr. Weasley arrives back home and angrily explains that Dudley's tongue grew to be four feet long

and turned purple before he was allowed to fix it. He points out that this incident could undermine the

muggle-wizard relations he has been working so hard to improve. Mrs. Weasley learns what happened and

joins in scolding the twins.Meanwhile, Harry leaves the room and learns that Molly is upset aboutWeasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a

business enterprise Ron's brothersFred and Georgeset up to sell their self-invented sweets and prank

objects. Mrs. Weasley forced them to stop, since she wanted them to have a more reputable career in the

Ministry after graduation.

After the spat, the Weasleys, Harry, andHermioneenjoy a lovely dinner in the garden. At the table a lot of

topics are discussed: the upcoming Quidditch World Cup, Bill's personal appearance, Sirius Black's

whereabouts (a private conversation by Harry, Ron, and Hermione), a missing Ministry Witch named Bertha

Jorkins.Percy(who has joined the Ministry following his recent graduation) mentions a top-secret event

that he is up to in the Ministry, which will take place after the Quidditich World Cup.Chapter 6: ThePortkey

The boot Port&ey used for the %up.

Harry Potter: "What sort of objects are Portkeys?"

Arthur Weasley: "Well, they can be anything," said Mr Weasley. "Unobtrusive things, obviously,so Muggles won't go picking them up and playing with them..."

Harry and Mr. Weasley talking about Portkeys.

Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys (excluding Bill, Charlie, and Percy Weasley, who

wouldapparatelater, and Mrs. Weasley, who would not be attending) traveled early the next morning to the

site of theQuidditch World CupFinal via aPortkey, an enchanted object that can transport large groups of

people across large distances in a short time. Mr. Weasley explains that two hundred Portkeys have been

placed around Britain to transport thousand of wizards and that they will be using the one atStoatshead

Hill.There they meetCedricDiggory, captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, and his father,Amos

Diggory. Fred and George are not too keen to see Cedric due to his team beating Gryffindor last year, and

Mr. Diggory makes a big deal of it despite the questionable circumstances surrounding Hufflepuff's victory.

They then gather around and use Portkey on Mr. Weasley's signal, transporting to the Quidditch World Cup

Final.

Chapter 7:BagmanandCrouchMr. Roberts: "People from all over. Loads of foreigners. And not just foreigners. Weirdos, you

After arriving and setting up their tents at a wizard campsite, Harry, Ron, and Hermione witness

international members of the wizarding community while getting water. As the older Weasley children arrive

and the group makes lunch, they meetLudo Bagman, the match commentator and head of theDepartment

of Magical Games and Sportsand the man who got them their tickets. During their talk, against their

father's wishes, Fred and George make a bet with Ludo: their entire life savings and a fake wand that

Ireland will win, but the BulgarianSeekerViktor Krumwill catch theGolden Snitch.Arthur also asks

Bagman if they found Bertha Jorkins yet.

Percy's boss,Barty Crouch, head of theDepartment of International Magical Cooperationthen arriveslooking for Bagman, though he has to shush Bagman when he starts to talk about a big event coming up at

the match is intense and exciting, with amazing skill displayed on both sides, particularly from Krum. A fight

breaks out between the two team's mascots after Ireland is awarded many penalty shots, which angered

theVeela.

Ireland quickly gains a massive lead and win the match, despite Krum catching theGolden Snitch. After the

match, both teams head to the Top Box and Fudge awards Ireland the Quidditch World Cup, while Fred and

George rejoice about winning their bet with Bagman.Chapter 9: TheDark Mark

Draco Malfoy: "Granger, they're after Muggles. Do you want to be showing off your knickers in

midair? Because if you do, hang around... they're moving this way, and it would give us all a

laugh."

Harry Potter: "Hermione's a witch."

Draco Malfoy: "Have it your own way, Potter... If you think they can't spot a Mudblood, stay where

you are."

Draco Malfoy, during the riot.

Riot at the *uidditch !orld %up.

After the wizards around the campsite celebrate before going to sleep, that night, a group of masked

wizards attack the camp and torment some localMuggles. While Mr. Weasley heads out with his older

children to face them, the rest of the group hides in the woods. When Ron trips on a tree branch, he, Harry,

and Hermione, lose Fred, George, and Ginny. They run intoDraco Malfoy, who goads them about the riotand tells them to keep Hermione, the "mudblood", safe. Shortly afterwards Harry realises his wand is

missing, and they find Winky behaving strangely, as if she were to trying to restrain something. After finding

a place to hide, they hear someone nearby incant "Morsmordre", and they watch theDark Markfloat into

the sky.

TheMinistryis quickly at the scene, stunning anything that moves. After determining that Harry, Ron, and

Hermione had nothing to do with the Dark Mark, they search nearby to find Winky holding Harry's wand. A

quick spell proves that Harry's wand conjured the Dark Mark. Even though no one thinks Winky did it, Barty

Crouch publicly fires her, leaving Hermione incensed. Mr. Weasley is forced to take the group back to their

tents where the others are.

After the attack, Mr. Weasley mentions that the Dark Mark is the sign that Voldemort's supporters leave

whenever they murder someone. The group also learns that the hooded wizards wereDeath Eaters,

followers of Voldemort. Bill mentions that the ones from tonight strangely fled the scene when the Dark

Mark was cast in the sky, likely because they were afraid Voldemort would punish them for failing to stay

loyal to him after his downfall. Mr. Weasley then insists they go back to bed, since they would be leaving by

Portkey in a few hours.

Chapter 10:Mayhemat theMinistry

"What if You-Know-Who had got you, and the last thing I ever said to you was that you didn't get

enough O.W.L.s? Oh, Fred...George..."

Molly Weasley, concerning about the children.

Ron#s dress robes.

The next morning, the group quickly departs the campsite and arrives at the Burrow, where a worried Mrs.

Weasley greets them. Mrs. Weasley shows them the Daily Prophet article covering last night's attack, which

is filled with some inaccurate details penned byRita Skeeter,a journalist well known for her heavily negative

stories. This forces Mr. Weasley to head to the Ministry with Percy to straighten things out, as he is

indirectly mentioned in the article.Heading into Ron's room, Harry tells Ron and Hermione about his scar hurting and his letter to Sirius, as

well as the dream. The three remark on how strange it is that Harry's scar hurt so soon before the Dark

Mark appeared for the first time in thirteen years.

On the final day before they are to return to Hogwarts, Harry hears that theMinistry of Magichas come

under heavy fire for failing to stop the riot at the Quidditch World Cup or arrest any of the culprits because

of Rita Skeeter's article. Mr. Weasley mentions that Rita is also attacking the Ministry because of the

disappearance ofBertha Jorkins. Meanwhile, Ron is dismayed by his hideous hand-me-down dress robes,

which he will need to wear at Hogwarts for a formal occasion later in the year.

Chapter 11: Aboard theHogwarts Express

The rain+washed heavy Hogwarts trun&s and owl cages.

"Don't tell me you don't know? You've got a father and brother at the Ministry and you don't even

know? My God, my father told me about it ages ago... heard it from Cornelius Fudge. But then,

Father's always associated with the top people at the Ministry... Maybe your father's too junior to

know about it, Weasley... yes.. they probably don't talk about important stuff in front of him..."

Draco Malfoy mocking Ron for the his lack of inside information from the Ministry of Magic.

The next morning, Harry overhears a conversation between Mr. Weasley and Amos Diggory (who is

communicating through theFloo Network) about an ex-AurornamedAlastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, who was

attacked in his home the previous night. Amos needs Mr. Weasley's help in clearing things up before the

situation gets worse.Charlieinforms Harry that an Auror is basically an evil wizard catcher.

After Mr. Weasley leaves, Percy, who needs to get back to work, departs. This leaves the rest of the adults

to take the children toKing's Cross Stationby muggle taxi. At the station, the kids say good-bye toMrs.

Weasley,Bill,andCharlie, and the adults suggest that the year ahead would be an exciting one for all of the

Hogwarts students, as well as other wizards and witches.

In theHogwarts Express, after chatting about other wizarding schools across Europe and the Quidditch

World Cup,Draco Malfoyalso speaks about the mysterious upcoming event, that Mrs. Weasley, Charlieand Bill were talking about earlier and says that there's glory and money involved.

Chapter 12: TheTriwizard Tournament

The announcement of the Triwi,ard Tournament.

"As I was saying, we are to have the honour of hosting a very exciting event over the comingmonths, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform

you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year."

Dumbledore, presenting the Triwizard Tournament.

After arriving at the castle and dealing with one ofPeeves' pranks, the trio heads to the Gryffindor Table for

theSorting Ceremony, the first in three years for Harry. Here they meetColin Creevey, who reveals his

younger brotherDennisis one of the new students. During the ceremony, Dennis is placed in Gryffindor.

TheStart-of-Term Feastthen begins. AfterNearly Headless Nickbrings up the subject of Peeves causing

problems in the kitchen, Hermione learns that house-elves work there. This makes here even more angry

about the way house-elves are treated, especially since house-elves do not get any benefits (which thehouse-elves themselves do not want). She then refuses to eat any more food in protest.

After making a few start-of-term notices,Professor Dumbledoreannounces that instead of having Quidditch

this year [which created lots of mayhem, especially from the Weasley twins], a very special event is going to

take place atHogwarts. Before he goes on, a mysterious man with a bizarre appearance appears in

theGreat Hall.Dumbledore identifies him as Mad-Eye Moody, the newDefence Against the Dark

Artsteacher. Afterwards, Dumbledore states this event is theTriwizard Tournament,which will start at the

end of October onHallowe'en.The Tournament calls for a single champion from each of the three largest

wizarding schools in Europe to compete in a series of three trials for the prize of one thousandGalleons.

Though it wasn't in play in the past due to the vast number of student deaths, Dumbledore reveals that both

Crouch [Department of International Co-operation] and Bagman's [Department of Games and Sports]

departments at the British Ministry of Magic have decided to reinstate the tournament under the condition

that new safety rules are used, including that no student under the age of seventeen will submit their name

for consideration. The students are then sent to bed, though Fred and George plot to find a way to bypass

Dumbledore's safety measures so they can enter the tournament, to get fame and glory, as well as money.

Minerva asking Moody about the bouncing ferret.

On the morning of their first day back, Harry, Ron, and Hermione prepare to begin the classes in their

school schedule, though Harry is concerned about why Hedwig had not returned with a reply from Sirius.

Hermione has also ended her hunger strike, deciding to stand up for house-elf rights in a different manner.

comment toLavender Brown.

At dinner,Draco Malfoyinsults Ron by showing Ron aDaily Prophetarticle that casts Ron's father Arthur

Weasley (identified in the article as Arnold Weasley) in a bad light by Rita Skeeter, who somehow found out

about the attack on Alastor Moody's home, even after the Ministry of Magic tried to keep it secret. While he

and Hermione restrain an angry Ron, Draco makes some rude comments about Mrs. Weasley. After Harry

counters this by making a rude comment about Draco's mother and starts walking away, an angry Draco

attempts to curse Harry from behind. Moody quickly intervenes, transfiguring Draco into a white ferret and

bouncing him around untilProfessor McGonagallforces him to stop, and to never do it again.After Hermione leaves to do some extracurricular work (even with no homework given out to her), Fred,

George, and their friendLee Jordanshow up and tell Harry and Ron how cool Moody's (Defence Against

In their first lesson with Moody on Thursday, Moody, after revealing he will only be staying for the year,

decides to show the fourth-year Gryffindors theUnforgivable Curses.Despite some fear amongst the

students (especially Neville, who needs comfort from both the trio and Moody after the lesson; Moody later

lends Neville a Herbology book to cheer him up), Moody shows the entire class the three curses using

spiders as his test subjects:Imperio, a mind control spell,Crucio,a torturing curse, andAvada Kedavra,the

Killing Curse.Later that night after dinner in their Common Room, Harry and Ron fake theirDivinationhomework after

finding it too difficult. Harry notices Fred and George plotting something, though he is unable to figure out

what. Later on, Hermione shows up and reveals that she has startedSPEW,a club for fighting for house-elf

rights, and has just spent time in the library researching house-elf history. She wants Harry and Ron to join,

but before the conversation is carried out further, Hedwig returns with a letter from Sirius.

Sirius says there are rumours about Harry's scar hurting and he is returning to Britain. Harry feels worried

about Sirius coming back and possibly getting caught by the Ministry, all because he hastily sent the letter.

He goes to bed unsettled.

Chapter 15:BeauxbatonsandDurmstrang

The "urmstrang#s 0ubmarine 0hip.

"Longbottom, kindly do not reveal that you can't even perform a simple Switching Spell in front of

anyone from Durmstrang!"

McGonagall, tense about the upcoming visitors.Early the next day, a concerned Harry sends a letter to Sirius claiming he is fine and that Sirius won't have

to return toBritain. Over the next couple of weeks, Harry fights off his concerns for Sirius while waiting for

Hedwig to get back. In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Moody has his students practise resisting

theImperius Curse. Only Harry is able to resist it, despite slightly bruising his knees in the process; it takes

him a couple more tries before he can completely resist it. During Transfiguration,Professor

McGonagallexplains to her fourth-year students, as she assigns them extra homework, that this is the time

for them to start preparing for theO.W.L.examinations, which will occur at the end of their next year.

Following Care of Magical Creatures, the group returns to the castle and sees a crowd of students looking

at a sign posted to the wall. The sign reveals that in about a week, on30 October, lessons will end earlydue to the delegations from the two other schools, theBeauxbatons Academy of Magicand theDurmstrang

Institute,arriving that evening. The lesson cut off, for Gryffindors was Potions, and the Trio felt lucky,

especially when Snape hinted of a poisoning, to find out if their antidotes work or not. Over the next week,

Hogwarts Castle undergoes a major refit: the castle is redecorated and the nervous staff members prepare

for the delegates to arrive.

On October 30, Harry again hearsFred and George Weasleytalking: this time, he hears that they are

talking about sending a letter to a certain person. The trio talk with the twins about the Triwizard

Tournament, and Hermione brings up house-elves. Fred and George suggest she should visit the Hogwarts

Kitchen just to see for herself how happy they are, despite Hermione's insistence that they are being

brainwashed.

The owls then arrive, including Hedwig. Sirius mentions that he has seen through Harry's ruse and asks

Harry not to worry about him, but rather to watch out for himself and keep him posted on the recent events

at Hogwarts. Sirius also asks that Harry use a different owl next time when sending him a message, asHedwig, a snowy owl, would attract too much attention.

That night, each of the houses are assembled in a line in the Great Hall while waiting for the delegates to

arrive. The first comes by flying carriage, the second shortly afterwards via submerged ship, with their

respective heads:Madame Maxime(Headmistress of Beauxbatons), a woman as big asHagrid, andIgor

Karkaroff(Headmaster of Drumstrang). Viktor Krum is revealed to be among the Durmstrang students,

which makesRon,a little excited.

Chapter 16: TheGoblet of Fire

"The fire in the goblet had just turned red again. Sparks were flying out of it. A long flame shot

suddenly into the air, and borne upon it was another piece of parchment... And then Dumbledorecleared his throat and read out - Harry Potter."

The Goblet of Fire chooses Harry Potter.

The Goblet of Fire.

The students sit down at their tables (with the Beauxbatons students at the Ravenclaw table and

Durmstrang at Slytherin), and theWelcoming Feastbegins. Hagrid,Ludo Bagman,andBarty Crouchall

arrive late. After the feast, Dumbledore announces that Crouch and Bagman, who helped organise the

tournament, will also serve as judges alongside the three headmasters to evaluate the Champions'

performances. Dumbledore then announces that the three champions will be chosen by theGoblet of Fire,

an enchanted artefact. Students must drop their names into the Goblet, and the Goblet chooses the most

worthy entrants to compete in three dangerous tasks. Dumbledore finishes by stating the champions will be

selected the following night duringHallowe'en.On the way out, the Durmstrang headmasterKarkaroffgives

Harry a look of displeasure before Moody forces him to move along. The Goblet is placed in the Great Hall

and anAge Lineis drawn around the Goblet to prevent underage students from submitting their names.The next day, predictably, Fred and George attempt to cross the line through the use of anAgeing Potion,

but they are repelled by the line. The pair has to be sent to theHospital wingto have their long grey beards

removed, much to everyone's amusement, including Dumbledore's. That afternoon, Harry, Ron, and

Hermione visit Hagrid at his cabin and find that he has gotten dressed up forMadame Maxime.He refuses

Hermione's offer to join S.P.E.W., pointing out that the house-elves enjoy their work.

That night, during theHallowe'en feast, the champions are announced:Viktor Krum, theSeekerfor the

Ron met the night before, representing Beauxbatons; andCedric DiggoryofHufflepuffrepresenting

Hogwarts. Unexpectedly, a fourth name is thrown from the Goblet of Fire:Harry Potter, much to the dismay

of some.

Chapter 17: TheFour Champions

"Dumbledore, you know perfectly well you did not make a mistake! Really, what nonsense! Harry

could not have crossed the line himself, and as Professor Dumbledore believes that he did notpersuade an older student to do it for him, I'm sure that should be good enough for everybody

else!"

Professor McGonagall, angrily defending Dumbledore.

Harry1 the Fourth %hampion.

Since Harry neither submitted his name nor asked an older student to do so, the assembly is

dumbfounded. Harry himself is feeling very confused as he heads into the room where the champions are

waiting. Although protests issue from the heads of the other schools, it is decided that the Goblet of Fire

has spoken and that changes must be made accordingly. While many think Harry has somehow

circumvented Dumbledore's age-restricting barrier, Moody suggests that perhaps someone entered Harry's

name under a fourth school to ensure he would be included in the competition, hoping he might not survive

the perilous tasks.

Crouch reveals that the First Task is on24 Novemberand the champions have until then to figure out what

it is and to prepare for it. The champions are forbidden to receive any help from anyone else. They are told

that they will learn the details of the Second Task after completing the First Task. They will also be exempt

from the end of year exams due to the tournament.

The group disbands and Cedric talks with Harry briefly as they are heading back to their respective

dormitories. At the Gryffindor Common Room, most of the other Gryffindor students throw a party to

celebrate, despite Harry's displeasure. Afterwards he returns to his dormitory, where Ron refuses to believe

Harry's story about not entering the tournament.

Chapter 18: TheWeighing of the Wands

"He was very fond of his wand, and as far as he was concerned its relationship to Voldemort's

wand was something it couldn't help - rather as he couldn't help being related to Aunt Petunia."

Harry, about his wand.

12/29

Rita 0&eeter.

Hermione explains to Harry the next morning that his entry into the competition strained his relationship

with Ron, who feels once again left in the shadow of his friend. Harry reluctantly accepts Hermione's advice

to send a letter to Sirius to update him on what happened. He send a letter with a school barn owl, much to

Hedwig's chagrin.

Ron is not alone in shunning Harry; a great many of the students from all three schools assume hesomehow cheated his way into the tournament. This makes Harry's life miserable, even though his fellow

Gryffindors (excluding Ron) are proud that Harry will be in the tournament. The stress makes it difficult for

Harry to concentrate on his lessons over the next week.

In Potions, the Slytherin students wearinsulting badgesthat cause an angry Harry to attempt to curse

Malfoy. Goyle and Hermione end up cursed instead, and both head to the hospital wing. Though Harry and

Ron reconnect when Snape takes 50 points away from Gryffindor and gives them detention, Ron quickly

gets angry again.

During a Potions lesson with Snape,Colin Creeveyarrives to pick up Harry, as Mr. Bagman requires him for

a photo session. Rita Skeeter interviews Harry in a closet for a piece she is writing on theTriwizardTournament,before the much importantWand Weighing ceremonybegins. Harry tells her he doesn't know

how he entered the tournament, but she manages to twist his words before Dumbledore interrupts, stating

the ceremony is about to begin.

Here Harry sees the Wand CreatorMr. Ollivanderagain. After examining the other champion's wands, he

examines Harry's and deems it in perfect condition. After the champions and judges go through a long

photoshoot, Harry goes to dinner and then returns to Gryffindor Tower. Ron tells Harry that he has an owl

and that their detention starts later. Going to where the school barn owl is with Sirius's letter, Harry reads

that Sirius thinks it is too risky to communicate by letter and that he will contact Harry on22 Novemberat

1:00 a.m. Harry must be alone at the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room at that time.Chapter 19: TheHungarian Horntail

"Harry was finding it difficult to think about the future at all, he felt as if his whole life had been

leading up to, and would finish with, the first task..."

Harry, fearing the first task.

The "ragons of the First Tas&.

Harry's impending talk with Sirius helps him through his embarrassment about Rita Skeeter's news article,

which told a highly inaccurate version of his life story. This further strains his friendship with Ron, who

thinks Harry is trying to get attention.Ravenclaw%ho %hangis the only person outside of Gryffindor who

wishes Harry good luck with the first task that is coming up on that Tuesday; Harry finds himself infatuated

under hisInvisibility Cloakso he can relax and avoid dealing with anymore criticism. While he is at

theThree Broomsticks InndrinkingButterbeer, Moody sees Harry under his cloak and Hagrid asks Harry to

meet him at midnight, one hour before his meeting with Sirius.

The Gamekeeper sneaks Harry into a meeting with Maxime; she does not know Harry is there. Hagrid

leads Maxime and Harry to a spot in the woods wheredragonsare being kept for the first task.Charlie

Weasleyand other dragon keepers are working to get the dragons ready for the First Task and keep themunder control. Charlie talks with Hagrid and identifies the species of each of the four dragon breeds. He

reveals that one is for each champion and that each must get past their assigned beast, though he and the

other keepers are also there to keep things under control. Harry leaves for the castle, bumping into

Karkaroff but managing to keep hidden. He realises that if Karakoff followed Hagrid and Maxine, it was

likely that Cedric will be the only champion not aware of what he would be facing.

Just as Harry returns to his common room, Sirius contacts Harry via theFloo Network.Harry starts by filling

him in on what has happened. Sirius then speaks and warns him that Karkaroff was once aDeath Eater;

he was released only after identifying other Death Eaters, and could have put Harry's name in the Goblet of

Fire. Sirius then mentions Rita Skeeter's article from last month regarding the attack on Moody; he

suspects it was no accident and that someone may have tried to keep Moody from going to Hogwarts.

Sirius also brings up the Death Eater disturbance at the Quidditch World Cup, as well asBertha Jorkins.

Jorkins, he says, disappeared in Albania, where Voldemort was last reported to be. Sirius reveals he knew

Jorkins personally while they were in school and mentions that she wasn't very bright and could have easily

fallen into a trap. She also would have known about the Triwizard Tournament beforehand.

Sirius finishes by stating that Karkaroff betrayed the Death Eaters long ago and might not be the guilty

party, especially since whoever put Harry's name in the Goblet had a reason for doing so. Before he can

give Harry any advice on getting past his dragon, he is interrupted by Ron and disappears from the fire.

After another fight with Ron, Harry goes to bed.

Chapter 20: TheFirst Task

"He stared hopelessly down at the index of Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed... instant

firepower... horn tongue... just what he needed, to give it an extra weapon...."

After Harry tells Hermione everything he learned recently, they try to research ways to stun a dragon in the

library without success. On Monday, realising the other schools' champions know about the dragons, Harry

tips off Cedric to make sure the contest is fair. Moody then appears and gives Harry some general advice

on how to beat his Dragon: play to his strengths and use a simple spell to get what he needs. With

Hermione's help, Harry manages to master theSummoning Charmafter working on it until 2 a.m. On

Tuesday, the day of the task, Mr. Bagman reveals that their task is to get theGolden eggeach dragon is

guarding. The model dragons each champion would draw out of a small bag would determine the order

they'll be going in and which dragon they'll face.

Harry finds himself slated to go last. He gets the most violent of the four dragons, theHungarian Horntail,

though he declines Mr. Bagman's offer for advice. Once his turn comes up, Harry manages to summon

hisFirebolt broomstickand fly. He uses the flying strategies he learned as a Quidditch player to lure thedragon off the eggs long enough for him to zoom in and snatch the golden egg, despite taking a minor

shoulder injury during the task. Ron, realising the true danger of the Tournament, forgives Harry, with most

of Hogwarts (excluding Slytherin) following suit.

After seeing his score, Harry learns from Charlie Weasley that he is currently tied with Viktor Krum for first

place and that Mr. Bagman needs to see him. Mr. Bagman reveals to the champions that the Second Task

will take place on24 Februaryat 9:30am and that their Golden Eggs contain a clue as to what it will be. On

his way back to the castle with Ron, Rita Skeeter shows up for an interview, but Harry brushes her off.

After Ron is brought up to speed on what Harry has learned, he allows Harry to borrowPigwidgeonto send

Sirius a new letter updating him on the completion of the first task. Gryffindor celebrates Harry's successthat night, but when Harry opens up his golden egg during the party, a horrible screech comes out.

Meanwhile, Hermione learns from Fred Weasley how to get into the kitchen where the house-elves are.

InDecember, Rita Skeeter arrives atHagrid'sduring aCare of Magical Creatureslesson with the fourth

years to try to get an interview with Hagrid. Hagrid is surprised to see her there, as Dumbledore had

banned her fromHogwarts Castle.

That night, Hermione does not show up to dinner. She surprises Harry and Ron as they are about to

enterGryffindor Towerand takes them to the kitchens. There they see a lot of domestic elves, and Harry is

reunited withDobbyand learns thatWinkyis there too. Dobby reveals that it is difficult for a house-elf to

find actual work. After he spent two years failing to find work and found Winky, Dobby came to Hogwarts

and had been there for a week so far; Dumbledore even agreed to pay Dobby a small wage. Winky is very

sad and ashamed about being fired by her old master. Hermione tries to cheer her up, with no luck, though

Winky does become slightly happier when she learns that Mr. Crouch has been at Hogwarts.

Chapter 22: TheUnexpected Task

"A week ago, Harry would have said finding a partner for a dance would be a cinch compared to

taking on a Hungarian Horntail. But now that he had done the latter, and was facing the prospect

of asking a girl to the ball, he thought he'd rather have another round with the Horntail."

Harry thinking about the Yule Ball invitation.

Ron 2enchanted2 by Fleur "elacour.

After a Tranfiguration class, McGonagall tells her students about theYule Ball, a formal event that is

scheduled for25 Decemberand is open to fourth years and above (though a younger student can still

attend if invited by an older student as their date). She tells Harry privately that he and his dance partner

will start off the event alongside the other champions and their dates as a traditional part of the Triwizard

Tournament.

Over the next few weeks, both Ron and Harry unsuccessfully attempt to find dates as they get through the

final classes of the term. Fred and George are also acting suspiciously again; they want to borrow

Pigwidgeon to deliver a letter to someone, but Pigwidgeon is not back yet (from delivering Sirius' letter).Harry later works up his courage and asks Cho to go to the dance with him, but learns that she had already

agreed to go with Cedric. This information sours Harry's relationship with Cedric.

After Harry returns to the Gryffindor common room, he sees Ginny comforting Ron and learns that Ron

foolishly tried to ask Fleur out. Ron then tactlessly asks Hermione out, but she is going with someone else.

Harry can't ask Ginny out either, since she is going with Neville. Finally, Harry manages to secure dates for

both himself and Ron.

Chapter 23: TheYule Ball

Hermione Granger: "Well, if you don't like it, you know what the solution is, don't you?"

Ron Weasley: "Oh yeah? What's that?"

Hermione Granger: "Next time there's a ball, ask me before someone else does, and not as a

last resort!"

Ron and Hermione, bellowing at each other.

The silvery fountain.

As the holidays begin, Hermione refuses to tell Ron who her date for the Yule Ball is, stating he'll make fun

of her. She also reveals that after Malfoy put the curse on her that made her already large front teeth grow

to a huge size, she letMadam Pomfreyshrink them to a more normal size when she healed her. Draco

Malfoy tries to taunt Hermione, saying no one in their right mind would take her to the ball, but the mere

mention of Mad-Eye Moody is enough to drive him back.Pigwidgeon returns with Sirius' reply. Sirius

congratulates Harry for completing the first task and reminds him to stay on guard.

Chapter 26: TheSecond Task

"Most of the judges, feel that this shows moral fibre and merits full marks. However... Mr. Potter's

score is forty-five points."

Ludo Bagman, about Harry performance on the Second Task.

Gillyweed used by Harry for the 0econd Tas&.

Harry explains what happened the previous night to Ron and Hermione. Even though Harry and Ron

suspect Snape might have put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire, Hermione doubts this. Harry also sends

a school owl to Sirius to update him on what happened.

Over the coming weeks, even with help from Hermione and Ron as well as the library's resources

(including getting McGonagall's permission for theRestricted Section), Harry struggles to think of a way to

breathe underwater for an hour. Two days before the second task is to start, Sirius's response comes in.

Sirius wants to know when their next trip to Hogsmeade is.

On the last night before the task, the trio are continuing their research in the school library when Fred and

George appear to inform them that Professor McGonagall has summoned Ron and Hermione. Harry later

sneaks back into the library after hours with his Invisibility Cloak, but can't find anything else.

The next morning, with a little help from Dobby, Harry discoversgillyweed, a plant that, when eaten, gives

him fish-like qualities such as gills and fins. He quickly makes his way to the lake just as the task is about

start and finds that, once again, Percy is taking Mr. Crouch's place. While swimming through the lake and

fighting off a swarm ofGrindylows, Moaning Myrtle points Harry in the right direction and Harry discovers a

town ofMerpeople, where Ron (the thing Harry would miss the most) is being held, along with Hermione (for

Krum), Cho (for Cedric), and Fleur's sister.

Harry frees Ron, but refuses to leave the others, despite the insistence of the Merpeople. Cedric and Krum

appear and rescue their loved ones, but Fleur never arrives. With little other choice, Harry drags her sister

to the surface as well, narrowly avoiding drowning as the gillyweed wears off. Although he was wrong to

think the other hostages would be left to die (they would have simply returned to the surface unharmed), his

bravery and valour earn him extra points from the judges, who state that he showed great "moral fibre."

This puts both Harry and Cedric in first place in the overall points. Ludo Bagman then reveals the third and

final task is on24 Juneand the champions will learn more about it a month beforehand.

Chapter 27:PadfootReturns

0irius $lac& as his nimagus1 Padfoot.

"And don't forget, if you're talking about me among yourselves, call me Snuffles, okay?"

Sirius, to the trio.

InMarch, Sirius' reply states that the trio is to meet up with him during their next Hogsmeade trip and asks

them to bring food. Before Potions, SlytherinPansy Parkinsongleefully gives Hermione a copy ofWitch

Weekly; Rita had published an article on Hermione Granger saying that she is toying with both Harry and

Krum's feelings. Pansy who is quoted in the article, suggested Hermione was making illegalLove Potions.

Hermione realises that Skeeter must have eavesdropped on her and Krum's conversation on the shores of

the lake, and begins wondering how Rita is getting her information. After Snape gets ahold of the article, hereads part of it aloud, creating further laughter from the Slytherins. He then breaks the trio up and sends

them to different tables. Snape also confronts Harry over the recent theft ofboomslang

skinandgillyweedfrom his office. He threatens Harry withVeritaserum, a potion that will cause Harry to tell

the truth when consumed. Karkaroff then shows up to talk to Snape and sticks around until after class.

Snape blows him off, but not before Harry, who purposely stayed behind, noticed that Karkaroff had tried to

show Snape something on his arm.

Sirius meets Harry, Ron, and Hermione secretly in Hogsmeade and directs them to a mountain cave where

Buckbeak and some oldDaily Prophetarticles are waiting (Sirius had been stealing discarded newspapers

to keep up on current events). They first discuss Winky and what happened at the World Cup. Siriussuggests that whoever stole Harry's wand must have done so while they were watching the game in the

Top Box and is suspicious thatBarty Crouchwas looking around for something before he sacked Winky. He

then finds it odd that not only did Crouch not show up during the game, but also that he is suddenly

indisposed.

Sirius explains that Crouch was the one who sent him to Azkaban without a trial, as Crouch used to head

theDepartment of Magical Law Enforcementand was once poised to become the nextMinister for Magic.

During Voldemort's previous reign, Crouch took extreme measures against the Death Eaters, including

allowing the Aurors to use theUnforgivable Cursesagainst them. While this greatly boosted Crouch's

popularity and ensured that Crouch would become the next Minister, Crouch'ssonhad been caught with a

group of Death Eaters just before Voldemort's downfall. The youth was given a show trial by his father

before being locked up inAzkaban; he died a year later. Shortly after Crouch Jr. died, Crouch'swifedied as

well. Crouch's popularity dropped heavily after that, as people suspected that Crouch was a bad father. As

a result, with his reputation in the Ministry destroyed, Crouch lost his chance of becoming the next Minister

for Magic (which contributed toCornelius Fudgebecoming the Minister instead).

Ron brings up Crouch's appearance in Snape's office. Sirius questions this, since Crouch would have kept

an eye on Snape as a tournament judge. When Ron and Hermione bicker about whether Snape could be

trusted, Sirius partly agrees with Ron, as it questionable why Dumbledore would trust Snape. Snape was

interested in the Dark Arts as a child and hung out with some Slytherin students that became Death Eaters,

though he also knows Snape is smart enough to not get caught by the Ministry. Harry then remembers

Karkaroff's sudden appearance in their class, though Sirius can't figure out what that was about.

Sirius then brings all the questions of these mysterious circumstances together, including why Moody was

also searching Snape's office. He asks Ron to send a letter to Percy to find out if there is any news about

Crouch. Before they leave, Sirius reminds them not to wander outside of Hogwarts at all for safety reasons.

Chapter 28: TheMadnessofMr Crouch

"Winky - hic - is not only - hic - doing housework for Mr. Crouch!" Winky squeaked indignantly,

swaying worse than ever and slopping butterbeer down her already heavily stained blouse.

"Master is - hic - trusting Winky with - hic - the most important - hic - the most secret..."

Winky, to Hermione.

crying !in&y.

After sending Hedwig with the letter to Percy, the trio heads to the kitchen to give Dobby the socks Harry

bought for him. They find that Winky has become intoxicated from consuming a large amount of butterbeer

(which works like alcohol on house-elves). It doesn't help when Harry mentions that Mr. Crouch has

disappeared.

Hate mail soon starts popping up for Hermione in regards to Rita Skeeter's article. She has to go to theHospital Wing due to a curse and doesn't turn up until a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, where Hagrid is

having them useNifflersto find gold coins (which is actuallyLeprechaun gold) he buried. Hagrid

encourages Hermione to ignore the hate mail, citing the hate mail he received after Skeeter released the

article about him. Hermione decides to discover how Skeeter has been getting her information when she is

already banned from school grounds.

It is around Easter that Percy's response comes, along with Easter eggs from Mrs. Weasley (Hermione's is

smaller than Harry and Ron's because Mrs. Weasley read Skeeter's article). His irradiated response

doesn't help. On the night of24 May, Harry and the other champions are called to theQuidditch

pitchby Ludo Bagman and informed that a magical maze will be grown there and filled with magical

obstacles. Their job is to head to the centre of the maze and touch the Triwizard Cup. Before Mr. Bagman

can offer Harry advice again, Krum takes Harry aside to theForbidden Forestand questions him about his

relationship with Hermione. Harry assures Krum that he and Hermione are just friends.

Moments later, a rather crazy-lookingBarty Crouchemerges from the forest asking forDumbledore. He

mentions that Voldemort is getting stronger and that he himself was responsible for something bad. He also

mentions his son, as well as Bertha Jorkins, who is now dead. Harry goes to retrieve Dumbledore, but

when he returns, they find that Krum has beenstunnedand Crouch has disappeared. While Karkaroff

accuses Mr. Crouch's apparent attack on his student as a secret conspiracy, Dumbledore has Hagrid take

Harry back to Gryffindor Tower to rest. He hints in his message not to contact Sirius until the next morning.

"You were clutching your scar! You were rolling on the floor, clutching your scar! Come now.

Potter, I have experience in these matters!"

Professor Trelawney, to Harry.

The trio debates last night's events the following morning. Harry thinks the strange things Mr. Crouch said

were important, especially if Voldemort is getting stronger. The group goes to the owlery to send a letter to

Sirius Black and overhears Fred and George, who are talking about blackmailing someone that they've triedto reason with. Ron asks who they are blackmailing, but they make it look like they are joking. After they

leave, Ron points out that it is obvious Fred and George are serious about starting a Joke Shop. They are

close to graduating, with only one full year left, and they have to make enough money on their own to start

one.

Sirius's response arrives the following day. He scolds Harry for being out with Krum that late at night and

says he is lucky he wasn't attacked, since it was clear that someone did not want Barty Crouch to reach

Dumbledore. He instructs Harry to stay safe and practise defensive spells for the Third Task, giving the

same advice Moody had given the day before.

Not long later, duringDivination,Harry passes out and has a vision. He sees Voldemort being informed of

someone's death and torturing Wormtail for failing to prevent that person from escaping. Harry awakens

with his scar hurting badly and pretends he has to go to the hospital wing. Harry actually goes to see

Dumbledore. After spending time trying to get the password to Dumbledore's office right, Harry overhears

an argument between Dumbledore, Moody, andCornelius Fudgeregarding the Barty Crouch situation.

Fudge refuses to believe the words that Crouch said about Bertha Jorkins being dead, and while debating

what happened to Crouch, Fudge suggests thatMadame Maximeis the likely culprit given herHalf-

giantphysiology. Dumbledore accuses Fudge of acting on personal prejudice, which Fudge ignores due to

Dumbledore's friendship with Hagrid. Moody interrupts the debate to explain that Harry Potter has arrived.

Chapter 30: ThePensieve"I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and

memories crammed into my mind."

Dumbledore, to Harry.
