We arrive at the front of the Great Hall when Charlie stops and pulls me out of view,
"Ow what are you doing, What's wrong?" I ask confused, Charlie looks to make sure no one is near and hits me on the arm. "Ow what was that for?" I asks rubbing my now red arm.

"I can't believe you talked to Cedric" she explains as she gives me a little push on the shoulder, 

"Why wouldn't I talk to him?" I replied "he seems nice" I grab her hand and pull her into the Great Hall where we take our seats at our table. The Great Hall is filled with busy students talking to one another.

"Don't you know who he is?" I look at her and she continues "Cedric Diggory? The captain of the Quidditch team, the skillful Seeker, and a prefect."

 
"Oh, so that's him" she rolls her eyes,  

"So what did you guys talk about?" She say while giving me a small nudge.

"Nothing I ran into him, I was just apologizing for the being careless" I say playing with my fork that has been set on the table for dinner.  

"You what!?" She grabs harshly onto my shoulder making me drop my fork, 

"You're joking, you ran into Cedric Diggory" I was startled by how excited she was about me making a fool out of myself. Before I could open my mouth to ask her why it was such a big deal Dumbledore gestured to the to the sea of students to quiet down.

"Now we're all settled in and sorted I'd like to make announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see hogwarts have been chosen..."
As Dumbledore continues to say his welcoming speech the doors to the Great Hall open and Mr finch high knees down past the tables through the hall, he finally makes it to the end where Dumbledore stands and whispers to him, Dumbledore nods in agreement and Flich leaves in his comical way. I look over to Charlie,

"Aren't you going to run after your boyfriend?" I jokingly remark. She gives me a slap on the hand and quickly looks back to Dumbledore.

"So Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard Tournament" the sea of students grows loud with excitement and I glance over to Charlie who looks more surprise then most.

"Now for those who of you who do not know, the Tri-Wizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. For each school a single contestant is selected to compete. Now let me be clear, if chosen you stand alone. And trust me when I say these contest are not for the faint hearted," while Dumbledore spoke his eyes scanned the Great Hall, when the last words "faint hearted" left the old Headmaster's mouth his eyes met mine and for a split second it felt like it was talking to directly to me. But what did he mean? Does he want me to enter? Or was it a warning and he wants me stay far way from it?

"But more on that later" Dumbledore's eyes left mine and he continued welcoming a group of girls dressed it blue from Beauxbatons Academy and their headmistress Madam Maxime. While the girls danced around the Great Hall I wondered what Dumbledore's stare meant, the moment replaying over and over again in my head, Charlie tapped me kicking me out of my deep thoughts, she giggles and points to Harry Potter who was sitting on the other side of the walk way between the two tables, He and his mates were drooling over a girl from Beauxbatons which has stopped in front of them and let out a girly sigh, I join it with Charlie's giggles and continue watching the welcoming performance.  

"And now welcome our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and high Master Igor Karkaroff. The boys entered banging their staffs on the ground making sparks fly. 

"Your attention please, I would like to say a few words. Eternal glory, that is what awaits the Tri-Wizard tournament. But to do this that student must survive three task. Three extremely dangerous tasks" Dumbledore continues explaining the new rules that follow the tournament and that your have to be 17 to enter your name. He then casts a spell onto a metal box which melds into a goblet containing blue flames.

"The Goblet of Fire, anyone wishing to submit themselves for the tournament merely write their name upon a piece of parchment paper and throw it in the flames before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly, if chosen there's no turning back. As from this moment the Tri-Wizard Tournament has began"
