    Harry Potter was in his fourth year at Hogwarts school of wizardry. Harry was known for his bravery and strong magic skills, ever since he had defeated You-Know-Who as a baby. This year was more exciting than the rest.

    At the start of the year, there was a mysterious meeting in the graveyard between a baby-like creature and a rat. Nobody knew what they were planning, and it was scary to think about.

    At the same time, Harry was watching a big Quidditch game. He used to enjoy this, but this year it felt different. Sitting next to him was Crouch, a man who was once notorious for his villainous actions.

    Harry was suspicious of Crouch. Even though he claimed not to be evil anymore, there was something about him that made Harry wonder. No one knew why Crouch was at the game, and this worried Harry.

    Suddenly, the sky changed color. Evil figures showed up in the sky, scaring everyone. They were the Death Eaters, followers of You-Know-Who. Harry knew this meant danger was coming.

    Back at school, Professor Moody was teaching the class about evil curses. He was a gruff man with a magical eye that could see in all directions. Everyone was a little afraid of him, but also curious.

    A big announcement was made at the school. There was going to be a huge tournament between three different wizard schools. This was exciting news for everyone.

    But things took a surprising turn when Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire as the fourth champion. This was not fair, there were supposed to be only three champions. But the headmaster couldn't change it.

    The first task was to fight a dragon. Harry was scared, but he had help from Moody, who gave him a hint on how to pass the task. Harry successfully got past the dragon, leaving everyone in awe.

    Through all this, Harry also had to find a date for the Yule Ball, which was harder than any task. He was not good at asking girls out and it was funny to his friends.

    And to make things worse, Rita Skeeter, a nosy reporter, was snooping around. She kept asking Harry about his past and his parents, which was annoying.

    The second task of the tournament was to find a golden egg underwater. Harry discovered that the egg had a song hinting at mermaids. He knew then, he had to fight mermaids next.

    Harry passed the second task with ease, thanks to Moody who gave him gillyweed to breathe underwater. It was getting clear now that Moody was helping Harry, but no one knew why.

    Meanwhile, the nosy Rita kept snooping around. She was desperate to know how Harry was passing all tasks. But Harry and his friends kept the secret about Moody to themselves.

    Soon news broke that Crouch, the suspicious man at the Quidditch game, was found dead. It was revealed that his son was once a Death Eater. Harry could tell danger was close now.

    The final task was a maze, and the champion who reached the center first would win. Harry was nervous, but Moody's clues helped him reach the center with Cedric.

    However, when they touched the trophy, they were transported to a graveyard. Cedric was killed instantly by an unknown curse. The baby-like creature from the start of the year emerged.

    The baby creature transformed into Lord Voldemort, the snake-like villain that Harry had defeated when he was just a baby. To Harry's horror, Voldemort was going to kill him.

    But just in the nick of time, Harry was transported back to Hogwarts. He was safe, but terrified. Moody asked him how he had escaped Voldemort, but Harry was too shaken to reply.

    It was then revealed that Moody had been helping Harry all along. He had been pretending to be Moody to make sure Harry reached Voldemort. The real Moody had been trapped, and the imposter was none other than Crouch's son.

    Lastly, Rita, the nosy reporter, turned out to be an Animagus who turned into a beetle. She had been spying on Harry and his friends all along.

    Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts ended with a bang. With Voldemort back and danger looming, Harry knew he had to prepare. Despite everything, he was ready. Hogwarts may be in danger, but Harry wasn’t going to let it fall without a fight.
