As usual Dumbledore was standing at the front of the hall, "Cue the hour long speech." Marlene said as Zac sat down next to her 

"How'd the meeting go?" Zac asked 

Marlene smiled as she looked at him, "I get to tell where we live now. Gotta be on our own though." 

"Now we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard tournament. Now for those of you who do not know, the tri-wizard tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single contestant 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 faint hearted, but more of that later. For now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of magic and their headmistress Madam Maxime." 

A group of girls dressed in blue, danced up the aisle and released butterflied into the air. They bowed and everyone applauded

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

A group of older boys walked up the aisle brandishing bo staffs, twirling them around and stabbing them into the ground which made sparks fly off of them 

"Blimey it's him, Viktor Krum!" Ron said 

"Your attention please! I would like to say a few words. Eternal glory, that is what awaits the student who wins the tri-wizard tournament. But to do this that student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. For this reason the ministry has seen fit to impose a new rule. To explain all this we have the head of the department of international magic cooperation Mister Bartimus Crouch." Dumbledore said 

Thunder roared and rain began to lead through the roof. A man stood in the doorway, he cast some magic and sealed the roof, everyone turned around and Marlene said, "Bloody hell, that's Alastor Moody." 

"Alastor Moddy? The Auror?" Zac asked 

Marlene nodded, "He was a catcher. Half the cells in Azkaban are full because of him. He's supposed to be mad as a hatter these days though. He worked with my dad once." 

Moody walked down the aisle limping as he goes, "My dear old friend, thanks for coming." 

"That stupid roof." Moody said 

"What's that he's drinking do you suppose?" Ron asked 

Harry shrugged and said, "I don't know but I don't think it's Pumpkin juice." 

Barty stood up and began to speak, "After much deliberation the ministry has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of seventeen shall be allowed to put forth their name for the tri-wizard tournament. This decision is final." 

People in the crowd started to boo, "Silence!" Dumbledore shouted and it all went silent, he turned around and pointed his wand at a box which melded into a goblet with blue fire, "The goblet of fire. Anyone wishing to submit themselves for the tournament merely write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly, if chosen there's no turning back. As from this moment the tri-wizard tournament has begun."
