Hogwarts No POV

The students arrived at the school just in time to see a flying carriage pulled by Pegasus horses. They were excited to see something as spectacular as that as they see Hagrid using to paddles to tell them where to land.

Hagrid: clear the runway!

The carriage came for a landing as Hagrid dived out of the way to avoid being hit. The other exciting thing was the ship that rose out of the water like the Flying Dutchman then it dropped sails.

Great Hall

Dumbledore: well, 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.

Filch:<runs all the way to Dumbledore>

Dumbledore: you see, Hogwarts has been chosen- <whispers> yes, what is it? What is it? Tell them to wait. Tell them to wait. Wait.

Filch:<runs back to the entrance>

Dumbledore: so... Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The Triwizard Tournament. Now, for those of you who do not 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's 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, Madame Maxime.

The doors opened as similar clothed girls walked inside and waved their arms with a soft "aaahhh" every few steps enchanting all the boys from Hogwarts. Merula looked at Wade and saw him emotionless. Then the girls ran to where Dumbledore was as they let our magical butterflies and disbanded to the sides.

A large lady, taller than Hagrid walked down the path as an acrobat girl did many backflips and another spun before they stopped facing the room and bowed. Wade recognized Fleur and Gabrielle.

Dumbledore: and now our friends from the north. Please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their high master, Igor Karkaroff.

Things went from soft and elegant to loud and badass as the students walked in tapping their scepters and grunting like warriors. They twirl their scepters as every tap let out sparks. They twirl their scepters more as they ran to where Dumbledore is and the ones without coats and hats did some acrobatics as the prized student Viktor Krum walked with the Headmaster to where Dumbledore was as one of the coatless students breath into a candle and released a fire bird that dissolved quickly.

Igor: Albus!<chuckles and hugs him>

The students all took their seats as Durmstrang sat with the Slytherin and the Beauxbatons with the Ravenclaws. To Wade's luck, Krum sat next to him.

Krum:<looks at Wade> you must have a story for how you got that scar.

Wade: I do.

Krum: will you tell it?

Wade: when I was young, my father, who is a Dog Animagus, got drunk as he transformed and attacked me causing this.

Krum: oh.

Wade: yes. Then in the same spot last year, it was a Hippogriff scratch that reopened it and that's why it looks fresh.

Krum: how did it happen?

Wade: you see Slytherin Blondie looking over here?

Krum: yes.

Wade: he was stupid enough to piss off the Hippogriff, I pushed him out of the way and scratch.
