We see for flying horses flying through the air pulling a carriage coming into land at Hogwarts.
 
“Clear the runway,” said Hagrid
 
“Well there’s something you don’t see every day,” said Harry
 
“What is that? From the water?” I asked
 
A large ship emerges from under the water and approaches too.
 
“C’mon, let’s go to the Great Hall,” said Hermione
Then, we go to the Great Hall. As usual everyone sit in their house, Dumbledore in his place.
 
“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 choosen..” said Dumbledore
 
Then Filch runs up the aisle limping in a comical way, he whispers something to Dumbledore and leaves in the same fashion.
 
“So, Hogwarts has been choosen 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 series of magical contests. From each school a single contestant is selected to compete. Now let me be clear, if choosen 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 welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their headmistress Madam Maxime,” said Dumbledore
 
A group of girls dressed in blue dance up the aisle and release butterflies into the air. They bow and everyone applauds.
 
“We’re lost our friend,” I whispered to Hermione when I see Ron and Harry expression.
 
“Blimey, that’s one big woman,” said Harry when we see the headmistress of Beauxbatons.
 
“And now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Dumstrangand the high master Igor Karkaroff,” said Dumbledore
 
A series of older boys walk up the aisle brandishing bo staffs, twirling them around and periodically stabbing them into the ground with a spark effect
 
“Cool,” said Seamus. I nodded in agreement.
 
“Blimey it’s him, Viktor Krum,” said Ron.
 
“He still in school?” I asked shocked. “Wow, professional Quidditch player and yet still in school.”
 
The boys breathe some fire.
 
“Albus,” said Igor
 
“Igor,” said Dumbledore.
 
They embrace
 
“Your attention please! I would like to say a few words. Evernal glory, that is what awaits the student who wins the triwizard tournament. But to do this that student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks,” said Dumbledore
 
“Wicked,” said Fred
 
“Hey, you still Fanny’s catch phrase,” said Ron
 
“Since when I have catch phrase?” I raised my eyebrows
 
“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,” said Dumbledore
 
Thunder roars overhead, rain begins leaking through the roof and screams break out. A strange man stands in the doorway, he casts some magic upwards and seals the roof. Peace is restored.
 
“Bloody hell, it’s Mad Eye Moody,” said Ron
 
“Alastor Moddy? The aura?” asked Hermione
 
“He was a catcher. Half the ceels in Azkaban are full thanks to him. He’s supposed to be mad as a hatter though these days,” said Ron
 
Mad Eye takes a drink
 
“What’s that he’s drinking do you suppose?” I asked
 
“I don’t know but I don’t think it’s Pumpkin Juice,” said Harry
 
“After much deliberaton the ministry has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of seventeen shall be allowed to puth fourth their name for the triwizard tournament. This decision is final,” said Barty
 
The crowd is unsettled, people are booing
 
“That’s rubbish! You don’t know what you’re doing!” said George
 
“That works for me, I don’t want to enter,” I said
 
“Why? Peter, it’s the eternal glory,” said Fred
 
“I don’t care about eternal glory, just want to live my life in peaceful,” I said
 
“Silence!” said Dumbledore
 
Dumbledore casts magic over a box which melds into a goblet containing a blue flame
 
“Wicked!” I said
 
“See, that’s your catch phrase,” said Ron, I just rolled my eyes
 
“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 choosen there’s no turning back. As from this moment the triwizard tournament has begun,” said Dumbledore. “Now, go back to your dorm.”
 
Now, we get back to the common room. We said good night to Harry and Ron and go to the girls dormitory
 
“Fanny, can I ask you something?” Hermione said
 
“You just did,” I said
 
“Fanny, I’m serious,” Hermione said
 
“Sure,” I said and sit in my bed
 
“What’s up with your face when you see Cho smiles to Harry? It’s just different. It looks like you’re hurting,” Hermione said. I sit there in shocked
 
“Nothing, just nothing,” I said
 
“Don’t lie to me,” Hermione stared at me
 
“I’m not lying,” I lied. “Harry just asks me to help him with Cho because I know her. Maybe I just a little suprise when I see Harry fancies someone else, I guess it means now we’re already grown up.”
 
“You want to help him?” Hermione said. I just nodded
 
“Ok then, good night Fanny,” said Hermione
 

“Night,” I said and covered myself with the blanket. Am I really want to help him?
