Enjoy!Summary: The Goblet of Fire is one of the oldest and most powerful magical object in the entire wizarding world. It is used to pick the three champions for the Tri-Wizard tournament. When Harry was picked as the fourth and un-willing contestant, there was an uproar. Harry was too young, the second champion from the same school, and the fourth champion overall. What could be done? The professors scrambled to find some solution. It was eventually decided Harry was to compete. But what would happen if he didn't? Nothing? Something? Let's investigate. The only constant in these kinds of magical contracts is, for some reason, fire. An unbreakable vow uses fire to bind the two parties. Might it be the same for the Goblet of Fire? When an unbreakable vow is broken, the party in question dies. If you think about it, there is no reason for the Goblet to be any different. But how would a person die from the Goblet? Making an eternal deal is not taken lightly. Once entered the only out is death. So end that magical contract prematurely would be to cut your eternity short, essentially end your reality. In this case, your realty is the entire span of your life. So ending the forever that is the eternal contract, would be stopping the clock on your life.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.com Having anything you want to hear or say?
