Harry Potter The King

At least, Harry hoped it was Riddle. If someone had entered him as a form of practical joke, the students of Hogwarts would be finding a dead body lying around very soon.

I might be the first person to hope I'm being assassinated by Voldemort.

"We will be collecting you for the Wand-Weighing ceremony a week before the first task." said Bagman excitedly. "For now, I believe that is all."

"May I go, Professor?" asked Harry, turning to Dumbledore.

"Yes, Harry, you may." the headmaster responded, still wearing the same slightly disappointed expression. Harry made his way over to the antechamber door, swiftly moving past Miss Delacour and Madame Maxime, both of whom were glaring at him as they spoke angrily in rapid French.

Karkaroff, on the other hand, had held Krum back. Harry had a feeling that it had to do with a fear of him being a Parselmouth, although he wasn't sure. It was a very bad mistake on his part; the only reason he had not been to concerned was because most people already knew he was one. He knew very well what people thought of Parselmouths, Salazar would probably give him an hour long lecture for it.

Salazar.

He would have to sneak out to the Chamber of Secrets earlier than he usually did tonight. There was no way he could afford to forget any important details from what had just occurred; he was in desperate need of his ancestor's help.

He walked out of the antechamber with Cedric, the two of them making their way through the now empty Great Hall and up several staircases. They eventually reached the fourth floor landing, where their paths split. They both nodded silently towards the other, before continuing on their journey back to their dormitories.

Harry continued on for another floor before he heard a soft hoot from behind him. He turned around, spotting Hedwig, who was flying directly at him. She landed on his shoulder and began to nip at his neck and ears. She evidently saw and understood what had happened, as she was clearly trying to cheer him up.

After a few more minutes of walking, Harry had finally arrived at Gryffindor tower. He was incredibly nervous as to how they might react. He had spent the last month and a half showing everyone how incredibly dangerous the tournament was. Surely they would believe him, right?

He walked through the portrait hole of Gryffindor Tower to find everyone seated inside the common room, all glaring angrily at him.

"You said you wouldn't enter!" yelled Ron angrily. "You kept going on about how we would die if we tried. Was it just some plot to get us to not enter? Give yourself a better shot?"

"I didn't put my name in the goblet!" defended Harry.

"That's a load of dragon dung!" roared McLaggen from the other side of the room. "How else did your name come from the goblet?"

Harry's mouth fell wide open.

Have they seriously forgotten that someone trying to kill me is like an annual tradition at this point?

He turned to Hermione, but even she was shaking her head at him, her expression similar to what Dumbledore's had been. The three chasers were the only ones who didn't look like they wanted to murder him at the moment, although they did seem rather upset. To be fair, they had been trying to enter the tournament.

At least I know Salazar will believe me. Maybe Tonks and Hestia as well. Sirius, too.

But that did not change the fact that his friends, his first friends (and for quite some time his only friends) did not trust him, and did not want him around.

A minuscule spark of electricity sparked from his left fist, though nobody saw it. The same happened with his right, though instead of electricity, a small flame flickered in his palm. A wave of raw magic was coursing through Harry's body at the moment. The magic was filled with anger and annoyance, and was incredibly powerful.

In one swift motion, Harry turned around, departing from the room.

At least I'll be getting to the chamber early, like I wanted.
