After our little prank on Ron, it was time to head home and get ready to start our fourth year at Hogwarts. For once in my life, I was actually glad I got forced to do something. I have the best friends in the world.

When I got home I started packing for the new school year. When I came downstairs to where my dad was waiting he looked overly happy.

"What are you smiling about?" I was a little nervous.

"Oh, you will have to wait until you get to school to figure that out" I eyed him suspiciously for a couple of seconds before shrugging it off and started leaving for the train.

When I had said bye to Remus and found an empty compartment I waited for the others to join as well. I didn't have to wait long, after two minutes a happy Hermione came in and gave me a big hug before sitting down on the other side.

We started talking about summer when three red-headed boys started entering the compartment. Fred sat next to me, George sat next to Fred and Ron sat next to Hermione.

And not long after came Harry. As the train started leaving and we had all talked about our summer vacation I started slowly falling asleep leaning on Fred.

I was suddenly woken by being poked in the face. "Poke me one more time and I swear you will lose a finger, '' I said threateningly.

The poking stopped as I opened my eyes to see that we were soon at Hogwarts.

"You know you can be bloody scary sometimes right?" Fred said, looking worried by the fact that he could have lost a finger.

"If only you knew just how scary I can be," I said jokingly.

The train stopped and we made our way to the great hall. We got a few new Gryffindors like always.

"Now I have an announcement to make. This year the quidditch cup at the school will be canceled" Dumbledor said and there were a lot of unhappy people. Fred and George whispered in my ear

"You got lucky we were going to force you to try out for the team" I let out a relieved breath before Dumbledore spoke again.

"Now this is because there will be a different tournament held at Hogwarts that will take up most of the school year. This year we are hosting the Triwizard tournament" Right after he said that everybody started whispering about it.

He then continued to explain the tournament before starting on who was allowed to enter.

"Now we have made some changes. We will allow students from the fourth year and up to participate, and there will be a total of three champions from each school who will be participating as a team" I quickly turned around to look at the twins to see if they had the same idea as me.

By the look on their faces they did. As we made our way back to the common room we talked about the tournament and everything.

Before I could enter, however, a little Hufflepuff of second-year came out to me and said that Lupin wanted to speak to me in his office. I made my way over there and entered his office.

Remus pov:

As she walked into my office I got nervous about what I was about to ask from her, but I knew that I had to do it. "Hey, dad what do you want to talk about?" She asked, looking a little confused.

"So are you thinking of entering the tournament?" I asked. This was not what I wanted to ask her but it had something to do with it.

"Yes, actually, Fred, George, Ron, and I are going to enter, but that is not really what you wanted to ask me is it?" She questioned me.

I never understood how she always knew it when I wasn't completely honest.

"Well yes and no. I wanted to ask if you got chosen to compete if you would tell them who you really are" She just looked at me for a second before she yelled
