One day after another

Off the Train

after the long but enjoyable train ride, we arrived at hogwarts. I stuck with George and Fred because they were the only people i really knew. The 3 of us climed into a boat and at one point i tought George was gonna be pushed into the water. "Start rowing Fred" demanded George. Lets just say I dont think fred liked that comment very much. Fred quickly splashed george with water and before i knew it I was somehow thrown into the mix. "Would you quit it people are almost as the school and we've barely left the dock" I said laughing but still trying to act serious. Fred quickly grabbed the ores realizing how far behind we were and quickly started rowing towards the castle.

Fred quickly got out of the boat trying to catch up to the other kids, George got out carefully tying not to shake the boat so much. I expected him to run away trying to catch up to his brother but the next thing i saw was Georges hand infront of my face. "well are you gonna let me help you out of the boat or should i just stand here awkwardly looking like an idiot" He says. I take his hand and my face started to feel warm. was i blushing? I just met this kid i need to slow it down. "Thank you" I said to him with a smile of my face. We walked to the castle together, It was beautiful. We walked through large double doors and we finally saw Fred sitting down at a very long table. "Miss Thomson, is that you?" I heard from a raspy voice, the voice seemed to be owned by an older women. I turn to see what seemed to be a teacher.

"Hello, yes thats me" I say confused

"Go sit down Mr weasley she'll be in in a second. Hello dear, I am Proffesor McGonogall i sent you your exeptance letter."

"Oh yes Hello! its so good to actually meet you, um am i supposed to sit somewhere specific?"

"Oh dear, you will have to sit at the Gryffindor table, you will do everything with the people at your table. That is now your family here at hogwarts, you have classes with them, you will sleep in the same dorms as most ofthe girls, and ive heard you play quiditch is that correct?" she asks

"Yes i do, um im kind of hungry and i get a little mean when im hungry. Is there anything to eat?" I tell her not trying to be rude but i was actually hungry and i didnt want to talk much more.

"Yes dear just through these doors there is a big feast waiting for you. Ill see you soon, I hope you enjoy yout time at hogwarts this year" She said with a sound of happiness but it looked like she had something to add. She ended up walking into the room and i followed not to far behind her.

I stopped and observed my surrounding, there were candles floating in the air, the cieling that looked like it was open to see the night sky but it had just been bewitched, there were 4 very long tables with students sitting elbow to elbow, in front  of those tables was maybe 4 steps leading up to another long table it seemed that thats where the teachers sat, and in the middle of that table sat a man in a large throne.

"Oy Claire, why are you just standing there, come sit down ya goof" I heard George yell

I ran over to him and sat down. I got a bunch of looks from a lot of people. The man sitting in the throne stood up and told everyone to quiet down, he had a long white beard and long white hair on his head. He seemed to just be wearing a grey cloak. "Now that everyone has been setled in and sorted, id like to make an announcment. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to many other guests as well. You see hogwarts has been chosen..." While the man was spaking the doors opened and a skinny lanky man was running past the tables. They where wispering to each other, no one knew what they were saying. "So Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The Triwizard Tounamanet!" While the man still taling in the background. Brilliant! Wow! you heard from all aroud. "...the Triwizard
Tournament brings together 3 schools for a series of Magical contests. From each school, a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear, if chosen you stand alone and trust me when i say, these contests are not for the faint of heart. But more of that later. For now, please join me and welcoming these lovely ladies of the Beuxbaxton Academy of Magic  and their eadmistress, Madame Maxime!". the doors flung open and the first thing you saw was a group of ladies with blue hats and dresses on and behind them stood an enormous  lady. Taller than everyone! The ladys passed by, extremely stunning i must say. They got very close to  the tables, Fred and George seemed very interested in the girs. I felt something in my stomach that ive only felt a few times before. I felt Jelous, but why? Why should i care about how he looks at other girls? I was thinking to myself. "Youre ridiculous Claire, snap out of it". Next thing i knew everyone seemed to be out of their trance and quit staring at the beautiful girls. Everyone clapping and cheering for them when they got up by the teachers table.

The man started to spek again, it had felt like the longest announcment ever. "And now welcomng our friends from the North. Please great the proud sons of Armstrong and their high master Igor karkaroff." Men came walking in with long walking sticks in their hands, pounding them on the floor and it looked like sparks were coming off the bottoms. Some of these men were handsome but some just looked a little funky. They were grunting very loudly, george and i started to giggle. "Blimey its him, its Victor Krum" we heard some kid say. "Thats my  younger brother ron, same year as you actually. Ill introduce ya to him when this is over" Gorge whispers to me while these men are now doing flipps by the teachers. One boy seemed to blow fire out of his mouth forming it into a pheonix. The men hugged and the feast had begun.  All the teachers were talking at the table when a long tall golden statue type thing was set down, "Your attention please, I would like to say a few words" Oh my how long could this go on for" i thought to myself starting to get tired. "Eternal Glory. Thats what awaits the student who wins the Triwizard Tournament. But to do this, that student must surviv three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks." He said very surely. I started to zone out and blocking out everything around me when i heard 2 familiar voices in a hushed tone saying "Wicked". Only knowing them a few hours it semed like it was something theyd deffinetly risk doing. after hearing them i compleely zoned out. The things people were saying became a complete blur. I finally snaped back into reality when everyone started screaming. "Thats rubish!" I heard one twin yell "You dont know what youre doing!" the other one right after. Everyone seemed to be angry and booing but the man whos name was apperently Proffessor Dumbledore told them to be quiet. He told everyone the rest of the details about the tournament. We finished our feast and where told to go to bed, Walking to the common rooms George introduced me to his brother, Harry, and Hermoine. They were all very nice, Hermoine and i started talking the rest of the way until we came to a painting of a fat lady. "Ill help you with classes and homework and erything you need' she said sounding kinda happy she would have another girl besides ginny in the friend group. We walked through the hole in the wall and hermoine showed me the way to the dormatories and we went to bed knowing we'd have to get up early the next morning.
