All the students were entering the castle. They walked down the corridor until they reached the Great Hall, which was decorated for the start-of-year feast.

Several candles were floating above the tables, and the gold utensils were shining. Sasuke made his way through the students and headed for the Slytherin table.

Blood Baron: Good evening, Sasuke. - He said, appearing beside the emo, who merely nodded.

Daphne: Sasuke. - She said, catching the emo's attention, who saw her approaching along with Sean and Astoria.

The three greeted the emo and told him about the World Cup and the attack that had occurred. The emo listened intently.

The sorting ceremony went smoothly, and when it was over, the feast began. A few minutes later, Dumbledore stood up and walked to the front of the professors' table, delivering the famous speech that happens every year. When the door next to the professors' table was opened aggressively, a figure entered, introduced by the headmaster as Alastor Moody, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Dumbledore: I have the painful duty to inform you that this year we will not be holding the Quidditch Cup between the Houses. - He said, only to hear the students shout "WHAT" in unison.

Dumbledore: This is due to an event that will begin in October and will continue throughout the school year, consuming a lot of energy and time from the professors. But I am sure you will enjoy it immensely.

Dumbledore: We will have the honor of hosting a very exciting event in the coming months, an event that has not been held for a century. I am pleased to announce that this year we will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore: The Triwizard Tournament was created about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition among the three largest wizarding schools in Europe – Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. A champion is chosen to represent each school, and the three champions compete in three magical tasks. The schools took turns hosting the tournament every five years, and it was agreed that it was an excellent way to establish bonds among young witches and wizards from different nationalities, until the mortality rate became so high that the tournament was discontinued.

Dumbledore: For centuries, there have been several attempts to restart the tournament, none of which have been successful. However, our Departments of International Magical Cooperation and Magical Games and Sports have decided that it is time for another attempt. We have worked hard over the summer to ensure that, this time, no champion will be exposed to mortal danger.

Dumbledore: The heads of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive with the final list of competitors from their schools in October, and the selection of the three champions will take place on Halloween. An impartial judgment will determine which students have the merit to compete for the Triwizard Cup, the glory of their school, and the individual prize of one thousand Galleons.

Dumbledore: As eager as I know you are to win the Cup for Hogwarts, the heads of the participating schools, as well as the Ministry of Magic, have agreed to impose an age restriction on the contenders this year. Only students who are of age, meaning those who are over seventeen, will be allowed to present their names for selection. This - he said, raising his voice slightly, as several people protested indignantly upon hearing his words, and the Weasley twins suddenly looked furious - is a measure we deem necessary, as the tasks of the tournament will continue to be difficult and dangerous, no matter how many precautions we take, and it is highly unlikely that students below sixth and seventh grade will be able to handle them. I will personally ensure that no underage student deceives our impartial judge and is chosen as Hogwarts champion. - He said, looking in the direction of the Weasley twins - Therefore, I ask that you do not waste your time submitting your candidacies if you have not yet turned seventeen.
