When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he is livid. He didn't bloody want to join a deadly tournament, but it seems like no one believes him, so he swears a wizarding oath.
Now everyone believes him, but he still isn't excused from the tournament. Almost on the point of wanting to give up on his magic, Death interferes because Death's chosen child can't lose his magic.

''This is why you are going to be perfect.'' Death almost croons, making Harry blush. ''If you're going with me to train, you will be back in no time. Time travels differently in my realm.''
Harry nods. He suspected something like that. ''Then I will go with you to train. It is only fair. The others are older and have more experience.''
''Harry, no!'' Dumbledore exclaims, but Harry knows it is too late. Death is already grasping his arm, and then everything turns dark around him.

Summary
Tom waits in silence as another calculating gaze takes hold of the elderly alpha’s features, it turns solemn in the end, indicating that he’s come to a conclusion.
“You live in muggle London don’t you?”
Tom didn’t have a good feeling about this, but even so, he gives him a reluctant nod of assent. The solemn look on Arcturus’ face turns sharp for a second before he bares his teeth in the mockery of an amicable smile.
“That’s settled then”
