Fire On Fire

Chapter Five ~ Hogwarts

It has been a day since we set off to Hogwarts and we have just arrived. 

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, YOUR CABIN ON BOARD WILL BE YOUR SLEEPING QUARTERS THROUGH OUT THE YEAR! BE READY TO DEPART THE SHIP!" My father speaks loudly over the others talking and messing around. 

If you haven't noticed by now, my father and i don't talk much, so far we talked when he found out i pranked Victor, and he yelled the whole time.

We depart the ship and walk towards the castle in one straight line, as night starts to fall. Most of us were simply wearing there brown uniforms while the rest of us wear our full uniform to present ourselves, I wear my full uniform with my long red hair down for extra warmth, with all of my piercings in.

________________________________________________________________________________

We are now all standing out side of "The Great hall" of Hogwarts with straight stony faces waiting for our grand entrance, that we had rehearsed on the way here. The school with the beautiful girls dressed in blue enter the hall elegantly, and we stand tall with our staffs, ready to enter. We hear all cheering and wolf whistling after a short while and then an announcing voice.

"AND NOW OUR FRIENDS FROM THE NORTH, PLEASE GREET THE PROUD SONS AND DAUGHTER FROM DURMSTRANG AND THEIR HIGH MASTER IGOR KARKAROFF!"

I stand in the back with my father and victor, as the boys in front enter as rehearsed banging their staffs on the old stone floors and then run in to the front of the hall, some in line while others preform a little martial magic as Victor heads in with me close behind and my father behind myself walking fast and strong towards the front of the hall looking straight ahead as the fire Phoenix's light reflects off of my hair and and creating dark shadows my face, making me look dangerous with my seemingly glowing green eyes, the flames lightly lick my face but I remain unaffected.

We finally stop walking as my father greets Professor Dumbledore, we are then directed to seat at the table with a green banner hanging above, I sit between Victor and a blond boy that looks slightly familiar, I see the Weasley family along with harry and Hermione looking my way from across the hall, I give them all a small smile and they return it, with the twins, George and Fred, once again winking I silently chuckle and shake my head a little looking down as a light blush rose to my cheeks. 

The feast begins.

________________________________________________________________________________

During the feast the blonde boy continued to stair at me and Victor, which we just ignored it and ate in silence occasionally locking eyes with my Hogwarts friends giving them a pleading look while they chuckled. 

"Your attention please!" Dumbledore asks everyone in the hall as it starts to fall silent.

"I'd like to say a few words ... Eternal Glory ... that is what awaits the student who wins the tri-wizard tournament. But to do this, that student must survive three tasks, three extremely, dangerous tasks. For this reason the ministry has seen it fit to oppose a new rule. To explain all this we have the head of the department of international magical cooperation, Mr. Bartimaeus Crouch."

Suddenly the ceiling of the great hall erupts into a spasm of lightning and thunder making student scream out in worry, then a man I recognise as Alastor Moody, AKA Mad-Eye Moody, a famous Aurora, throws a spell towards the ceiling and the lightning stops.

He hobbles towards Dumbledore and shakes hands in greeting and stands near a wall.

 "After due consideration the ministry has concluded that for their own safety, no student under the age of seventeen should be aloud to put forth their name for The Tri-Wizard Tournament this decision is final."
