Conall and Faolán walk into the courtyard after an amazing holiday. Because they turned 17 last year, they could finally use magic at home. They whole summer long they kept practising spells so that this year will be easy. Conall and Faolán start their last year at Beauxbatons which is a big thing. The future is for both of them a big blur. Because they are werewolves it is hard for them to get a job. Soon enough the owners of the jobs will realise why they get sick every month, and who wants to keep a werewolf employee when you can also have a normal wizard? Of course they both have big plans for the future, but it will probably al be a dream and nothing more. But these problems won't hold them back for having their last year at Beauxbatons without any worries, and this will be for sure the best year they had by far.

They walk in the dining room with the small tables, supposed for a maximum of six people. Of course they tried to fit more people around one table, but that was just impossible. When Conall and Faolán look around they notice Roselyn and Thierry and they happily walk to them. Faolán immediately sits down next to Roselyn, while Conall sits down next to Thierry. Faolán wraps an arm around Roselyn and snuggles up against her. They smile cute to each other and Conall looks away, for some reason he doesn't feel comfortable seeing them together. Thierry doesn't like it either. A few years ago he had a relationship with Roselyn, so it still hurts sometimes seeing them close together.

"So... How was your holiday guys?" Conall asks, trying to break the scene.

"Oh mine was wonderful!-" Thierry says excited, happy he doesn't have to look at Roselyn and Faolán being close. "I went on an amazing holiday with my family, and I'm really excited about this year!"

"Yeah me to, my parents kept saying they are jealous, and that we will have a really excited year. But they just won't tell me what is going on." Roselyn says, a bit hurt to.

"Hey, our parents also started about a big event this year, didn't they Con?" Faolán says and Conall nods in response. Their parents did talk about an event, and they were thrilled about it.

"I think we just have to wait what will happen, if it's so thrilling then we will find out soon enough what it is about." Conall says, trying to be the responsible one. The others nod in agreement, yet the only thing they could talk about was what that event could be.

The evening came close and Faolán and Conall were relaxing in the gardens. Bella, there Samoyed, runs around them and now and then they throw a branch in the distance so Bella could run after it.

"Lán?" Conall asks cautioned.

"Hm?" Faolán says in response.

"I'm worried... about, you know, our future." Conall closes his eyes, the future always seemed so far away. First they had their safe childhood at home, and then a safe time at Beauxbatons, but the safe time at Beauxbatons almost comes to an end and Conall never knew what would come after that end. He sighs deeply and opens his eyes again, truly having no idea.

"Con... you don't have to worry so much about it. Of course it will be hard, you won't hear me say that our future will be easy. But we will find our place-" Faolán sits up and looks Conall deep in the eyes, then he gently places his hand on Conall hand and he smiles. "-I promise."

"So we just have to wait until the moment comes?" Conall says still unsure, but he feels a bit more comfortable about it. He knows that Faolán will always stay close to him, and that they can help each other. Conall gives then a smile in response of Faoláns smile.

"We will just wait, we still have a whole year until we have to start with our problem, don't let that year be ruined because you worry to much. Do you promise me that Conall?"

Faolán looks Conall again deep in the eyes, seeing if the speaks the truth or that he still hesitates. Conall looks back, takes a deep breath and then says confident "I promise."

The smile at each other and Bella comes running to them, but she lost her branch and the brothers shake their head while laughing. Right on that moment a loud voice fills the gardens. Conall and Faolán look up at the noice.

"All seventh years need to come to the theatre immediately. We need to announce something."

The twins look excited to each other and smile bright. then they say in sync "the event!"

They stand up immediately and start to run to the theatre, Bella running after them barking enthusiastically.

The twins run into the theatre where they already see Roselyn and Thierry. They sit down next to them and immediately start to talk excited about what is going to happen. This doesn't last long because when the last one entered the theatre the doors close and headmistress Valerie Baudelaire stands on the stage, ready to talk.

"Some of you might have heared it during the holiday, but this year there will be an event between all the wizarding school in Europe.-" Madame Baudelaire takes a pause and the whole theatre starts to whisper. When there is an event with all the schools it can only be the triwizard tournament! "- This year the 129th edition of the triwizard tournament will take place at Hogwarts!"

Now the whispers go over in talking. Everyone in the theatre is thrilled. There will be another triwizard tournament and they will be able to participate! Conall mind goes crazy, if he participate he can finally proof himself. then he won't be known as 'the sick boy' or 'the mysterious twin', but he will be a hero. He will be Conall Wolf, the triwizard champion.

"-What do you think Con?" Conall snaps out of his thoughts and looks confused at the others. They all start to chuckle and Conall his cheeks flush red.

"What do you think about the tournament? Will you participate?" Thierry repeats.

"Of course I will participate!-" he says way to quick. "-and I find it really cool. I always wondered how the tournament would be, and now it is in our year! I just can't believe it actually."

The others chuckle of his quick response and Roselyn says a bit scared "why do all you guys wanna participate? Is it a boys thing or something? Do you guys not realise how dangerous it is? People died remember."

"Rose don't be so silly, there are strict rules and there is a lot of security to check if everything is going fine. The last three tournaments went perfect, no big injuries and no one died.-" Faolán says.

"-besides, wouldn't it be cool to test your limits? Do incredible hard tasks where you will find your true strengths? It's just an amazing opportunity to show your skills." Conall continues.

"Whatever, but if one of you guys die I will kill you personally!" Roselyn says stern and everyone starts to laugh, including Roselyn.

But when the others kept talking about it Conalls thoughts drift of again, He is going to Hogwarts...
