Third Person P.O.V

Oliver, Harry, Ginny, Fred, George, Lee and Hermione were all sat at the Gryffindor table talking to to one another when Dumbledore started to speak. The hall fell silent.

"Now that we're all settled in and sorted. I'd like to make an announcement." The Great Hall's doors creak open and everyone turns to see Filch. Dumbledore continues talking even though no one is really paying attention.

"This castle is not only going to be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well." Filch is jogging towards Dumbledore and his running looks like he's trying to do high knees. He passes the group of friends at the Gryffindor table while Dumbledore is still talking.

"Hogwarts has been chosen..." Filch is stood at the front with the headmaster mumbling something to him. Dumbledore mumbles something back and the crazy caretaker starts jogging down the hall again only this time in the opposite direction.

"So Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Triwizard Tournament." The entire hall falls into low murmurs.

"And those of you that don't know. The Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear if chosen you stand alone and trust me when I say these contests are not for the feigned hearted. But more of that later.

There's a moment of silence.

"And now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic." The door opens and there's a loud whistle.

"And their headmistress Madame Maxine." A group of really pretty girls walk in wearing lilac dresses. All the boys are staring as the girls walk by. Hermione and Ginny look at each other feeling slightly insecure.

Hermione P.O.V

Me and Ginny look up to see all the boys gaping at the Beauxbatons girls. I glance over at Oliver to see him admiring the Beauxbatons girls and I feel jealous for some reason.

"Bloody Hell." I hear Ron say.

The girls gracefully run down towards the front of the Great Hall and release blue little butterflies from their hands.

Madame Maxine passes our table and I see Seamus tap Ron's arm and nods his head towards her.

"Blimey that is one big woman." I keep my focus on the girls at the front doing gymnastics. The girls bow and the hall erupts into clapping. Me and Ginny clap awkwardly and notice a lot of the girls on other tables doing the same. Professor Dumbledore kisses Madame Maxine's hand and then stands at the front of the hall signaling for everyone to quiet down. The hall falls silent again.

"And now our friends from the north please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their high master. Igor Karkaroff." 

Everyone turns to the entrance of the Great Hall and see lots of muscular students banging their canes off of the floor. When they hit the floor again there are sparks. Ginny and I smile at each other before turning back to see one of the students sprinting down the hall and does a one handed round off. I look at the entrance again only to see the one and only Viktor Krum walk in.'

When we were at the world cup Ron wouldn't shut up about how great he was and that he's at Hogwarts he's probably going to be a total fan boy. I roll my eyes at the thought.

"Blimey it's him. Viktor Krum." I hear Ron say in an awed voice.

At the front of the hall one of the students is blowing fire which turns into what looks to be either a phoenix or a dragon. Dumbledore raises his arms in the air as a greeting.

"Albus." Professor Igor Karkaroff says in a strong Bulgarian accent before the two professors hug.

After that the two schools are told to sit with Slytherin (Durmstrang) and Ravenclaw (Beauxbatons.)

Oliver P.O.V

When the Beauxbatons girls walked in I was shocked to see how beautiful they were. I noticed all the boys in the school were checking them out. I glance over at Hermione and Ginny to see them looking kind of uncomfortable.

"Bloody Hell." I hear Ron say.

The girls gracefully run down towards the front of the Great Hall and release blue little butterflies from their hands.

Madame Maxine passes our table and I see Seamus tap Ron's arm and nods his head towards her.

"Blimey that is one big woman." I keep my focus on the girls at the front doing gymnastics. The girls bow and the hall erupts into clapping. I see Hermione and Ginny clap awkwardly.

After that the two schools are told to sit with Slytherin (Durmstrang) and Ravenclaw (Beauxbatons.) We all start to dig in. I look up at Hermione to see her deep in conversation with Ginny. I sigh and continue eating my meal.
