Danger ~ S. Black

1: Dragon Alarms and Cup Decisions

*ALEXIS*

I woke up to a banging on my door. It seems to have woken Saphira up as well. I'm going to open the door. Please don't burn whoever it is. No promises Lex. I sigh. that's close enough I guess. I went over and opened the door to see a very upset looking Michael Jones and the headmaster. "Good morning Headmaster. Good morning Michael." I greet them. "Good morning Lexi." The headmaster greets me back. I wonder why Michael looks so sad. That's when I remember. It's October 30th. Today we are going to Hogwarts for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. and I'm transferring to Hogwarts today. "I'll be ready in a half-hour," I tell the headmaster. He nods and He and Michael leave as I shut my door. That's when I realized that Michael was checking me out. Weird. I get dressed:

and Pack my room. I then twist my hair up into my hat and put my coat on before heading to the lake. That's when I notice a few of my friends checking me out. Again, weird. Oh well. I climb on Saphira's Back and we rise into the air while the boat sinks into the ocean.

After a couple of hours, Saphira sinks down and lands as the boat rises out of the ocean. We all go inside and after a few minutes, we march into the great hall. The other boys bang their sticks on the ground and they create sparks, while mine emits flame while I hold it. After that, we sit at the Slytherin table and Dumbledore announces that there is going to be a student transferring from Durmstrang to Hogwarts. I stand up and go to the center of the room where a professor was holding an old hat. I asked them if I could do it in private and they nodded. The professor took me into a separate room and I took my Durmstrang hat off, letting my Black/Rose-Gold hair fall down my shoulders. They put the hat on my head and within a few seconds, the hat shouted loud enough for the whole hall to hear. "GRYFFINDOR!" I put my hat back on, making sure to tuck my hair into it, and went to the Gryffindor table, sitting next to my brother. Headmaster Digakuk then stood up. "The students of Durmstrang have one last demonstration they would like to present, and even though our new transfer student is a Hogwarts student now, they will still be part of it." I stood up and went to the center of the room, along with a group of other Durmstrang Students. We started doing a bunch of tricks, including one where I'm thrown into the air. Then it was time. we took our coats off and They did some other trick and took their hats off. Then, I did a double flip, taking my hat off in the middle of it, and landed on the ground. I heard a bunch of gasps run through the hall, though I wasn't sure if it was because I was a girl, or because my hair was basically entirely Rose-Gold. I'm guessing it was the first one. I went back to the Gryffindor table and sat down, only to have James turn me towards him. He stared me in the eyes. Lex? Is it really you? I sighed. No. I'm Maryanne. Of course, it's me idiot! Well, I wasn't sure. You changed your hair. it's Rose-Gold now. And who's Maryanne? Maryanne? Oh. Right. I just picked a random name. And fine. We'll talk later. I then broke the eye contact and listened as the headmasters explained the tournament. They said that the champions will be chosen tomorrow and that any student 4th year and up may enter. I smiled. I knew I was going to enter, but I wanted to keep it a secret. After dinner, we went up to our dorms, and I fell asleep, knowing my decision.

I woke up early the next morning and got dressed. I went down to the great hall, glad nobody was awake yet. I was holding a piece of paper that read

Alexis Potter

Hogwarts

I put it in the cup and went outside towards the caves. I found Saph and sat next to her. Welp. I did it. I entered my name. Really? I thought you were joking. Nope. I was serious about this. Oh. well, in that case, good luck. Thanks. Oh, shoot! I gotta go before I'm late to class. see you later! Bye! Bye! And with that, I run out of the cave towards the castle.

*JAMES*

As I went to the great hall that evening, I was excited. The champions were being chosen today. I had entered my name during my free period today. So had Sirius. I sat down next to Lexi. "Are you excited?" I ask her. She just smiled and nodded. We turned our attention to the front. The goblet turned red and spit out a piece of paper. Dumbledore caught it and read it. "The Beauxbatons Champion is... Laurette Delafouse!" A girl with chocolate brown hair, who looked to be about 16 stood up and went into the room we were supposed to go in. Then the goblet turned red again, and spit out another piece of paper that Dumbledore read. "The Durmstrang Champion is... Stephan Anev!" I clapped along with everyone else as a boy who looked to be 14 stood up and went into the room. I heard Lexi gasp when his name was chosen, but decided to question it later. That's when the Goblet lit up red one last time. I leaned forward in my seat, excited to see who would be chosen for Hogwarts. The goblet spit out a piece of paper that Dumbledore took and read.

"The Hogwarts Champion is........"

As if you couldn't tell, this chapter was a lot different. I just edited it again, because the AN was in the middle of the chapter, when it shouldn't have been. So I fixed that. Nothing else about this chapter changed. Hope you enjoyed!
