We all went to sleep that night before leaving early morning , as we returned to the Burrow Molly rushed out relieved. The rest of the summer wasn't calm and relaxing but it wasn't dreadful. Nymphradora showed up with my school equipment and a dress which I told her was lovely but I will no doubt break my neck in it but she just slapped me around the head playfully before heading home.
At the train station I hugged all the Weasleys goodbye (well the ones not attending Hogwarts) before going to a compartment with the twins. Lee , Angelina , Alicia joined us.As we finally arrived in Hogwarts i was met by a water bomb dropped on my head from Peeves
"Peeeeeeves," I grumbled as him and the twins laughed. I walked into the great hall cold and wet as Angelina sat next to me and the twins opposite us. Soon enough the trio walked in and I saw that Ron was drenched to the bone like me as well , he saw me looking and looked pleased it wasn't only him that got soaked by Peeves at the same time he seemed really pissed off that it even happened in the first place as well.
The sorting ceremony begun as a boy walked along the first years with Hagrids large coat on... the boy peaked over the collar only barely at Colin mouthing he fell into the lake causing me to laugh but put the back of my hand to my mouth as i wasn't laughing in a judgemental way i just found it amusing how he was kind of proud it happened to him. We tucked into the meal after the sorting , then Dumbledore gave his speech one bit sticking out to me the most
"It is also my painful duty to inform you that the Inter-House Quidditch Cup will not take place this year." he said , I heard Harry gasp and look up at the four of us who were just as mortified as he was. The twins were mouthing at Dumbledore but saying nothing while me and Angelina jaw hung open
"This is due to an event that will be starting in October, and continuing throughout the school year, taking up much of the teachers' time and energy - but I am sure you will all enjoy it immensely. I have great pleasure in announcing that this year at Hogwarts -" at that moment though the storm picked up throwing the great hall doors open a man started to approach the table. He was extremely scarred , battered and had a fake eye that spun around along with a fake leg and a large stick to walk with.
"May I introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?" said Dumbledore "Professor Moody." I looked over at the twins who looked un-surprised at Mad Eyes appearance they were more shocked that he was the new teacher
"Hes kinda intimidating," I mumbled as Angelina hummed in agreement
"As I was saying," Dumbledore said, smiling at the sea of students before him, all of whom were still gazing transfixed at Mad-Eye Moody, "we are to have the honour of hosting a very exciting event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year."
"YOUR JOKING!" Fred said loudly this broke the tension from Moody as everyone laughed even Dumbledore chuckled but I was in fits having to be held up on the chair by Angelina and Lee.
"I am not joking, Mr. Weasley," he said, "though now that you mention it, I did hear an excellent one over the summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar. Er - but maybe this is not the time.. . no. . ." said Dumbledore after Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly, "where was I? Ah yes, the Triwizard Tournament. . . well, some of you will not know what this tournament involves, so I hope those who do know will forgive me for giving a short explanation, and allow their attention to wander freely. The Triwizard Tournament was first established some seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest European schools of wizardry: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. A champion was selected to represent each school, and the three champions competed in three magical tasks. The schools took it in turns to host the tournament once every five years, and it was generally agreed to be a most excellent way of establishing ties between young witches and wizards of different nationalities - until, that is, the death toll mounted so high that the tournament was discontinued.'' Everyone mumbled in excitement , the twins were overly excited but I just remained seated ...death toll...DEATH TOLL! What the hell. That sounds ....AMAZING oooo am so signing up for it. "The heads of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving with their short-listed contenders in October, and the selection of the three champions will take place at Halloween. An impartial judge will decide which students are most worthy to compete for the Triwizard Cup, the glory of their school, and a thousand Galleons personal prize money." Fred hissed down the table that he was going for it with much enthusiasm "Eager though I know all of you will be to bring the Triwizard Cup to Hogwarts," he said, "the heads of the participating schools, along with the Ministry of Magic, have agreed to impose an age restriction on contenders this year. Only students who are of age - that is to say, seventeen years or older - will be allowed to put forward their names for consideration. This is a measure we feel is necessary, given that the tournament tasks will still be difficult and dangerous, whatever precautions we take, and it is highly unlikely that students below sixth and seventh year will be able to cope with them. I will personally be ensuring that no underage student hoodwinks our impartial judge into making them Hog-warts champion.I therefore beg you not to waste your time submitting yourself if you are under seventeen." Fred and George were giving Dumbledore mutinous looks. Dumbledore finished explaining before sending us all off to bed the twins however remained standing looking at Dumbledore
"They can't do that!" said George "We're seventeen in April, why can't we have a shot?" I'm 17. In December I thought grumpily, literally a month off.
"They're not stopping me from entering," said Fred stubbornly "The champions'll get to do all sorts of stuff you'd never be allowed to do normally. And a thousand Galleons prize money!" I patted the twins back
As we walked to the common room , George and Fred where debating ways how Dumbledore could possibly stop then from entering
"Who's this impartial judge who's going to decide who the champions are?" said Harry. "Dunno," said Fred, "but it's them we'll have to fool. I reckon a couple of drops of Ageing Potion might do it, George.. ."
"Dumbledore knows you're not of age, though," I said
"Yeah, but he's not the one who decides who the champion is, is he?" said Fred shrewdly. "Sounds to me like once this judge knows who wants to enter, he'll choose the best from each school and never mind how old they are. Dumbledore's trying to stop us giving our names." I rolled my eyes at the two and their antics this time. They won't get by, I am afraid.
"People have died, though!" said Hermione in a worried voice
"Yeah," said Fred airily, "but that was years ago, wasn't it? Anyway, where's the fun without a bit of risk? Hey, Ron, what if we find out how to get 'round Dumbledore? Fancy entering?" "What d'you reckon?" Ron asked Harry. "Be cool to enter, wouldn't it? But I s'pose they might want someone older.... Dunno if we've learned enough.. .
"I definitely haven't," came Neville's gloomy voice from behind me "I expect my gran'd want me to try, though. She's always going on about how I should be upholding the family honour. I'll just have to -- oops. . ." Neville foot sunk into the trick stair we all jump over so Ron and Harry helped him out as a suit of armour laughed at him
"Shut it," I snapped at the armour checking Neville was ok.
"Password?" the fat lady said
"Balderdash," I said, "a prefect downstairs told me." As we walked in everyone went to bed
"Night you two," I smiled at George and Fred before entering my dorm as I heard them mumble their good nights grumpily from the other side of the door.
