The Announcement

I woke up to my roomates whispering. I could not quite hear what they were talking about but I couldn't care less anyway. I got up, greeted them in a gentle manner, intoduced myself and started to get ready for classes. 

I walked to my first class and sat next to Hermione as she motioned for me to do so. Apparently she was assigned to help me catch up with the material I have missed from the previous 3 years of school. I was sat with her in every lesson. We came up with a plan to spend 2 to 3 hours each day in the library after classes to study so I can better understand the lessons that are to come. 

After classes were over and our two hour session in the library was done with, I asked Hermione if she could take me to their common room so I could see Alora and she agreed. As we were walking she reminded me of trio's offer yesterday to show me around the school and I reassured her that I remember and that is why I wanted to see Alora. So I could have her come with us to get to know the school better with me. 

As we entered the Griffindor common room, I saw Alora with the girl she made friends with yesterday, then I saw Harry and Ron on the other side of the common room, chilling on a couch and talking about some quidditch world cup that they have attended with Hermione and the Weasley family. I motioned for Alora to come to me with her friend as I did not wish to enter any further due to the dirty looks I was getting from the other Griffindors. Alora and her friend came to me and Hermione went to ask Harry and Ron to joins us. 

I spoke to Alora "Hey, baby. How are you? How was your first day? Did you enjoy today's classes?" She hugged me and summed up how her day had been and spoke with excitment about her classes. I squatted down and told her about our plan with the trio. "Hermione, Ron and Harry would like to take me around the castle for a tour. Would you and your friend like to come with? I am sure no one has taken the time to show you around. What do you say, baby?" Alora's eyes sparkled with excitment and she and her friend nodded happily. "Oh sissy, my friend has a name too, you know?" Alora said as she pouted playfully.  "Sissy, this Cheryl. Cheryl, this is my big sister Aurora." she introduced. "Hello, Cheryl. It is nice to meet you, kiddo." I said as I offered her a hand and smiled. We shook hands and I got back up as I started feeling needles in my legs. That was when I heard Hermione call me "Aurora, are we ready to go?" she asked with Harry and Ron walking right behind her. "Always." I replied. And so we began our tour of Hogwarts. 

During our tour, Harry, Hermione and Ron talked about how they met in the first year and they shared their adventures from the three years they have known each other. I decided that it would be only fair to share my and Alora's story as well. I told them how my parents died when I was 9, how I found a job and started working, how I found Alora 2 years later when she was 7 years old, how I got the balls to ask her to live with me, how we got close, how we found out that she was a witch, how I have been providing for us for the past 7 years, and how we got the letters from Hogwarts. They hugged us and told us that we were really strong for making it and not giving up. 

Finally, we arrived at the last stop, the Great Hall, as it was dinner time and we were really hungry. Especially ,Ron. As we walked in I had to seperate ways with them as I wasn't a Griffindor and could not sit with them at Dinner. I waved them goodbye and sat at the Slytherin table. I heard Malfoy say "Making good friends with Potter, Weaslebee and the Mudblood, huh? Trust me, you don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there. That it is if you can be a good girl." I didn't even have to look at him to see the smirk on his face. His friends started laughing and started saying something from the sort "Won't you be a good girl for Draco?" "Let Draco show you a good time." and some more laughter. All I replied with was "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks." and tried to ignore them. Wait. I faced the Slytherin prince, grabbed him by the collar, pulled him down to my level and said "What did you just call, Hermione?" "Mudblood. Seems like you are one too since your reacting this way!" he says as he releases himself from my grip, stands up, towers over me and raises his deep voice at me "No one talks to me this way, nor touches me and gets away with it! You're gonna pay for putting your filthy little dirty hands on me, Morningstar!" he spoke aggressively. "You little punk! You don't talk to me this way!" I said as I stood up after him and faced him. "What are you gonna do about it?" He questioned mockingly. I look around the tables of the four houses and spoke out loud  so everyone could hear, since we had already drawned eyes to ourselves "Malfoy's a bully. Why? Malfoy's a bully for one of three reasons. One. Underneath of that male bravado, there's an insecure little girl just banging on the closet door trying to get out." everyone begins to laugh and I continue with my speech." Two. Like a cavemen, Malfoy's brain is.. underdeveloped. Therefore Malfoy is unable to use self-control, and so acts out aggressively. And the third reason, Malfoy has a small wiener." Everyone looked at me in shock for I guess being the first to stend up to this prick. Everyone then started laughing at Malfoy and cheering me on. I look back up at Malfoy, locking eye contact and say as I gently pat his chest "Don't hurt yourself, 'Big Boy'. " I smirk at him and sit back down. Everyone clapped, cheered and laughed. The room went silent once the proffesors walked in. Malfoy sat back down, in defeat.  

Dumbledore later at dinner announced that Hogwarts will be hosting a legendary event called the Triwizard Tournament, in which one wizard each from two rival schools and Hogwarts will compete in three dangerous tasks. The rival schools of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, arrive and then Dumbledore began to announce the rules "People over seventeen who are interested must insert their name into the Goblet of Fire tomorrow after classes, and those chosen will be the Champions of their respective school". Meanwhile, Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody arrived at Hogwarts at the request of Dumbledore to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.  Moody is a very eccentric man, noted for his paranoia and his wildly roaming "mad eye" as per the whispers of the students within the Great Hall. Dinner was over and we were asked to head to our houses for the night. 

The next day, after classes we were circled around the Goblet of Fire watching students put in their names. Me and Hermione were sat on a bench, with Hermione explaining something I did not understand in one of the classes. Ron and Harry were sat behind us talking and fanning about Viktor Krum and his quidditch skills and abilities. That was when he walked in. I could not help but notice that Hermione followed every each one of Krum's movements. He placed a paper with his name in the Goblet of Fire and on his way out, he winked at Hermione and she gave him a smile shyly. "Oh my! Hermione! You like Krum!" I could not help my excitment. "Shh, not so loud!" she punched my shoulder playfully. Harry and Ron joined in hour conversation about Krum. I told her to go for it since Krum seemed intrested in her as well. 

Later we saw Cedric Diggory put his name in the Goblet of fire, as well as a lot of other students. Then there were these tall ginger twins that looked a lot like Ron, walk in. I decided to bring it up with Ron and jokingly asked "And these handsome guys must be your brothers, I supposse?" I giggled. The twin brothers tried some aging potion and managed to enter the circle of magic around the Goblet of Fire. They put their names and happily whisled and paced around in celebration of their achievement. The Goblet of Fire then threw out their name and the magic circle surrounding it, bounced out the borthers. Everyone laughed as they they wrestled on the ground. To my surprise Ron said:  "Precisely. Fred and George, my borthers."  We all laughed at my dumb statement and then me and Hermione headed to the library for our studying session. 

Later tonight we gathered once again at the Great Hall for dinner. Tonight, Dumbledore will announce the names that will be selected by the Goblet of Fire to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. The lights within the Great Hall dimmed down and the Goblet of Fire lit up. Three champions' names come out of the Goblet of Fire "Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang and Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons" Dumbledore announced .Something unexpected happed afterwards. The goblet unexpectedly produces a fourth champion. 

"Harry Potter!?" Dumbledore read in disbelieve.
