Brave

Triwizard Tournament

A few days later, the Weasley children, along with Harry, Hermione, and Aurora went back to school. They boarded the train after a long and heartfelt goodbye from Mrs. Weasley, and the Gryffinfour walked to their usual compartment. 

"You can write a letter to D- Sirius, you know," Aurora said, referring to their previous conversation on how Harry's scar began hurting again during the summer. She accidently called Sirius dad, however nobody but Hermione noticed. 

Aurora could tell that Harry didn't want to bother Sirius with something like this, but she was worried about the Potter boy. Although he didn't always directly say that his scar was hurting, Aurora could tell through little things that he did throughout their time at the Burrow.

When Harry gave a look that meant he was going to disagree, Aurora added, "Fine, don't send him a letter. But if your scar hurts again, let him know right away."

Harry nodded in agreement, not wanting to argue with her. The train ride continued, and a few hours later, they arrived to Hogwarts.

It was pouring rain outside, and Aurora wasn't sure how the first years and Hagrid were going to get across the Black Lake. Everyone other than the new Hogwarts students rushed into the carriages and inside the Great Hall. 

The Gryffindors, along with the other houses, sat down at their usual tables, prepared for the first years to walk in to be sorted. 

A few moments later, all of the first years, along with Hagrid, walked in drenched. There was a wave of different emotions amongst the new students, some giving expressions of fear, others of excitement. Aurora could spot a young boy, soaking wet in Hagrid's coat but wearing a big smile on his face. She saw him waving at Colin Creevey, mouthing, 'I fell into the Black Lake,' and giving him a thumbs up. The girl assumed this was Denis Creevey, Colin's brother that he told Aurora about last year.

After the sorting (Denis was placed into Gryffindor, and he and Colin shared a big hug afterwards, along with Colin pointing out Harry to his younger brother), Dumbledore stood up to give his usual random announcement before the feast.

After the delicious meal, Professor Dumbledore stood up again. 

"Good evening all. Now that we are watered and fed, I have an important announcement to make," he said, looking at each of the students throughout the hall with a twinkle in his eye. "This year, we will not be having the Quidditch cup."

Most students throughout the hall bursted in an uproar. Many were yelling their dislike for what the headmaster announced, including Fred and George, who were yelling that that was rubbish in unison.

Professor Dumbledore began speaking again, however this time it was louder, so that he could be heard over the students, "Instead, Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament."

Everyone was interested to hear more about the tournament.

I don't own Harry Potter. The series belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own Aurora and anything you don't recognize from the books or movies.
