Soulmates

Chapter Eleven

Genevieve’s P.O.V
It has been about a day or so since what happened at the World cup and we were now on our way to Hogwarts and I sat with Harry, Ron and Hermione and I just sat there looking out the window in a daze until I heard the Lady with the Trolly walking up and both Harry and Ron quickly got their money out to get what they wanted and just before I went into another daze Hermione spoke up, “this is horrible. How can the Ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn't there any security” she said looking up from the paper, “loads, according to dad, that’s what worried them so much. Happened right under their noses” Ron said and I sighed as both Hermione and I noticed that Harry was bothered by his scare as he scratched at it, “it’s hurting again isn’t it, your scar” Hermione said, “I’m fine” he said trying to shrug it off as if it’s nothing, “come on Harry we all know it bothers you when stuff like this happens” I said before Hermione spoke up about it, “she’s right and you know Sirius would want to hear about this, what you saw at the World Cup and the dream” she said to him and he soon began to write a letter for Sirius before sending it off with Hedwig.

Not long after we arrived at Hogwarts and everyone began to gather outside to see what looked like a carriage and a boat arrive before everyone had gotten into the Castle and got changed into their Robes before going to the Great Hall Later that day and as usual Dumbledore gave his speech, “well now we’re all settled in and sorted, I’d like to make an announcement. This Castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well, you see hogwarts has been chosen” he began to say until Mr. Filch approached him and whispered something to him before leaving again, “so, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, The TriWizard Tournament, now for those of you who do not know, the TriWizard Tournament brings together Three 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 hearted, but more of that later. For now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their Headmistress Madam Maxine” Dumbledore introduced and everyone in the room turned their heads to the doors as they opened to reveal the girls and pretty much every boy in the Castle clapped and whistled while Hermione, Ginny and I just sat there clapping normally until Dumbledore spoke again, “and now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their Highmaster, Igor Karkaroff” he introduced and they had also made and entrance as it made them look intimidating “Blimey it’s him, Viktor Krum” I heard Ron say, “are you going to confess you love for him again Ron like before” I said to him, “oh come one stop teasing about that, he’s just a really cool guy” he said before we turned back to the front as dumbledore began the fest after the other schools took a seat. It was near the end of dinner and everyone was talking with one another until Dumbledor brought everyone's attention to the front, “your attention please. I’d like to say a few words, Eternal Glory. That is what awaits a student who wins the TriWizard Tournament, but to do this that student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. For this reason the Ministry has seen fit to impose a new rule. To explain all this, we have the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation Mr. Bartemius Crouch” he said as the man walked up until something went wrong with the ceiling until it was stopped and a man walked in and we began to wonder who it was until Ron mentioned who it was, “Bloody hell, it’s Mad-eye Moody” Ron said until Hermione spoke up, “Alastor Moody, the Auror” she said, “what is he doing here if he’s an Auror” I asked looking at the both of them, “Dark Wizard Catcher. Half the cells in Azkaban are filled thanks to him, he’s supposed to be mad as a hatter though these days” Ron said to both Harry and I as the man shook hands with Dumbledor, “what’s that he’s drinking do you suppose” Seamus asked and Harry answered, “I don’t know but I don’t think it’s pumpkin juice” Harry answered, “to be honest, I have a bad feeling about the guy and I think whatever he’s drinking might be apart of it” I said as people whispered.
