Fourteen year old Daphne Greengrass let out a tired sigh as she at with her best friend Tracy Davis, Tracy was a fun loving blond with curly hair and blue eyes, a very pretty girl too but even Tracy would admit that she wasn't as pretty as Daphne Greengrass. Daphne Greengrass was also a girl with blond hair and blue eyes though her eyes were brighter and she preferred to keep her hair straight. It was with an unspoken agreement that Daphne Greengrass was the best looking girl of her year.

She and Tracy were Slytherin's so that cut them off from most of the school, but that didn't mean that everything was great in Slytherin. Daphne, as a beautiful girl and heiress to the Greengrass family, had to constantly deal with boys from various years trying to get her attention. The worse was without a doubt Draco Malfoy, Malfoy was an arrogant and spoilt brat, at least on her opinion. Funnily enough a lot of people shared that opinion.

Malfoy had become convinced that he would eventually marry Daphne and it took some hexing in order to keep him away, but it wouldn't keep him deterred for too long. Malfoy was convinced that no matter what he did his father would be able to deal with it for him, that's why he was always strutting around like he owned the castle and was always openly insulting whoever he wanted. Between the head of house, who was his godfather, and his rich dad, Malfoy didn't worry about anything.

Malfoy in her opinion was the worst boy in her year, even worse than Adrian Potter. She glanced towards the Gryffindor table and saw Adrian Potter, the boy-who-lived and Malfoy's rival for mot arrogant toe rag in school. He had messy bright red hair and brown eyes and a V shaped scar on his forehead. His story was pretty well known, one day the mot feared dark lord in history attacked the Potter family. The parents ended up in comas and then the dark lord Voldemort (called you-know-who by everyone apart from a select few brave enough to say his name) fired a killing curse at Adrian, Adrian had survived and Voldemort was defeated by Daphne didn't believe that Adrian had done anything, he was average in his studies at best and below average on a normal day. His friends weren't that impressive either, his friends were Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Ron Weasley, a lanky and redheaded boy, was part of a large but poor family with a lot of brothers, she didn't know how many but he knew he had two older brothers still in school and a sister that was a year younger than him. As far he was concerned he was loud, rude, had no manners and was far from a model student. Sometimes she would feel personally offended just seeing the way he would eat his food.

Then there was Hermione Granger, a girl with brown bushy hair, she in Daphne's opinion was a bossy know it all. Granger regularly competed with her for the position of best in class, it wasn't something Daphne was really interested in. After all she studied for the future, to make the best of her limited time in Hogwarts, she didn't have time to waste in a silly competition, such a shame that Granger couldn't take the hint and proceeded to always try and one up her. Daphne made it a point to do better than Granger just so she didn't have to keep seeing the smug face she always had on the few occasions Granger did do better than her.

In short the boy-who-lived' friends were an orange baboon with a temper and a bossy know it all. Many people were disappointed by the boy-who-lived, before coming to Hogwarts everyone had suspected him to be a magical progidy. He wasn't, he was not only arrogant but he much like Malfoy believed that he could get away with anything. Malfoy becaue of his godfather/head of house plus his father while Adrian relied on his status as the boy-who-lived and the headmaster who always favoured him.

"It's starting!" Tracy said in an excited voice.

The two were currently sat in the great hall along with all the other Hogwarts students plus the visiting schools Drumstrang from Bulgaria and Beuaxbaton from France. The reason the schools were visiting was because Hogwarts had decided to host the tri-wizard tournament, a tournament that was famous for death rates but also gave the winner 'eternal glory' and a huge cash prise. It was banned a long, long time ago because of too many people dying. Hogwarts was currently holding what was supposed to be a safer version of the tournament, though Daphne wasn't sure what the need for it was.
