*September 1st*

I ran through the barrier and was at Platform 9 3/4. I put my trunk and owl cage in the train and look for a compartment.

"Hey y/n do you wanna sit with me and my friend?" Ginny asks.

"Oh erm sure" I say.

I sit down in the compartment with Ginny and Neville. I had never really talked to Neville other than when he forgot the password to the common room.

I talked with Ginny and Neville for a while, and didn't realize that the trolley had passed the compartment.

"I'm gonna get a snack from the trolley. Want anything?" I ask Ginny and Neville.

"Can you get me a pumpkin pastie?" Ginny asks.

"Sure. Want anything Neville?" I ask.

"No thanks. I'm good" Neville says.

"Alright, I'll be right back" I say.

I leave the compartment and walk over to the trolley.

"Hi can I get two pumpkin pasties please?" I ask the trolley lady.

"Here you go" the lady says, handing me two pumpkin pasties.

"Thank you" I say.

I look up and see Harry. "Hey Harry" I say, smiling at him.

"Hey y/n" Harry says, returning the smile.

I turn around and walk back to the compartment. I sit down and hand Ginny her pumpkin pastie.

"Thanks y/n" Ginny says.

"You're welcome" I say.

Apparently I was blushing from the way Harry smiled at me.

"Y/n you alright?" Ginny asks.

"Erm yeah why?" I ask.

"Your face is a bit red" Ginny says.

"It is?" I ask.

"Yeah. Did something happen?" Ginny asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You were blushing!" Ginny says.

"What? No I wasn't" I lie.

"Sure" Ginny says.

"I wasn't!" You lie again. "L

"Who was with you?" Ginny asks.

"Erm there were a few Ravenclaw students, the trolley lady, and Harry. Why?" I ask. She laughs quietly.

"What?" I ask.

"Harry" Ginny says.

"Shut up" I say.

"Y/n's got a crush! Just admit it!" Ginny says.

"Alright fine! Quiet down! They're only a few compartments away from here! They'll hear you!" I say.

Ginny laughs and I roll my eyes.




*At Hogwarts*

I sat next to Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the Gryffindor table during dinner. After everyone was finished with dinner, the plates cleared off like always. Dumbledore stands up and starts to make an announcement.

"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts students. But this year, Hogwarts will not be home to only you" Dumbledore says.

He gets interrupted by Filch running up to him and whispering something. Filch runs back to his usual spot and Dumbledore continues.

"Our guests have arrived. Please welcome the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons!" Dumbledore says.

The doors to the great hall bursts open and a group of girls in blue dresses come in. The girls stop every few seconds to curtesy. There was also a little girl, who looked a lot like one of the older girls with blonde hair.

They were followed by a very tall woman, even taller than Hagrid.

"Blimey! That's one big woman" Seamus says.

All the boys stand up and applaud when the Beauxbatons girls make it to the front of the great hall. I remained seated and clapped.

A bit of a dramatic entrance, but ok.

"And now to welcome our friends from the North! The young boys of Durmstrang Institute!" Dumbledore says.

A group of boys walk in with staffs. They throw the staffs aside and run to the front to do cool tricks. One of them blows fire from the end of his wand.

"It's him! Viktor Krum!" Ron says. I turn to look and see Viktor Krum was walking to the front.

And I thought the girls had a dramatic entrance.

"Now we must entertain our guests in the best way we can. Let's sing our school song" Dumbledore says.

Oh dear lord.

The song starts and all of Hogwarts was singing the lyrics. After the song is over, the other schools clapped lightly.

"Now the reason that these two schools are staying here this year is because Hogwarts has been chosen to be the setting of a legendary event" Dumbledore says.

Everyone goes silent at this, curious about it. "The Triwizard Tournament. In this tournament, 3 competitors are chosen to perform 3 tasks. 3 extremely dangerous tasks. ("Wicked!" Fred and George say) Based on previous tournaments, we have Barty Crouch to explain the rules" Dumbledore says.

Barty Crouch steps up to speak, when a strike of lighting hits the ceiling, causing a bunch of first years to get scared. Then, a man with a fake eye, makes the ceiling go back to normal.

The man goes over to Dumbledore and talks for a moment, then stands by the wall.

"Due to safety reasons, we have decided that you must be 17 years of age or older" Barty Crouch says.

"That's rubbish! That's rubbish! You don't know what you're doing!" The twins yell.

"Silence!" Dumbledore yells.

Next to Dumbledore was something tall covered with a cloth.

Dumbledore takes the cloth off and says "The goblet of fire. Any student who is to enter themselves into the competition must put their name on a piece of parchment and put it into the goblet of fire. Do not choose to do so lightly. Remember, if chosen, you stand alone" Dumbledore says.

Who would want to enter a competition where you could die? It sounds dumb.

I walk to my dormitory with Hermione and unpack my trunk.
