Let them wonder

Chapter 9- Triwizard Tournament

Third Person P.O.V

Cedric, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Lee, Justin (one of Cedric's best friends) , Mace (another one of Cedric's friends) and Hermione were all sat at the Gryffindor table talking 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." We hear the Great Hall's door creak open and turn to see Filch. Dumbledore keeps talking.

"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 he's doing high knees. He passes our table. Dumbledore is still talking.

"Hogwarts has been chosen..." Filch is now standing at the front, whispering something to Dumbledore. Dumbledore mumbles something back and the crazy caretaker starts jogging down the hall again.

"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 doesn'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 is 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 insecure.

Hermione P.O.V

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

"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 nod his head towards her.

"Blimey that is one big woman." I keep my focus on the girls at the front doing all sorts of twirls and gymnastics. The girls bow and the hall erupts into clapping. Me and Ginny clap awkwardly with the guys who are stood up and cheering. 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 Karkoff.

Everyone looks to the entrance of the Great Hall and see a lot of male muscular students banging their cane off the floor. When they hit the floor on the third time there are sparks. Ginny and I smile excitedly at each other. We turn back to see one of the students sprinting down the hall and does a one handed round off. I look at the entrance again to see the one and only Viktor Krum.

When we were at the world cup, Ron wouldn't shut up about how great he was. Now that Viktor is at Hogwarts Ron is probably going to turn into 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 like a phoenix. Dumbledore raises his arms in the air as a greeting.

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

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

The food appears on the table and everyone starts to dig in. Everyone but me. I open my book and read as I'm not hungry.

Cedric 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 to 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 nod his head towards her.

"Blimey that is one big woman." I keep my focus on the girls at the front doing all sorts of twirls and gymnastics. The girls bow and the hall erupts into clapping.

The food on the table appears and everyone digs in. Everyone but Hermione. She opens her book and reads. I guess she's not hungry and tuck into my meal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 After everyone has finished their meals, everyone started heading up to the common room, probably to get a good night sleep. I don't feel tired and decide to approach Hermione.

"Hello Miss Granger. Fancy taking a walk around the corridors with me?" I ask bowing my hand to her.

"I would love to." She laughed and told her friends not to wait up for her. She took my hand and we left the Great Hall.
