{Time skip to the 1st of September}

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Charlotte were sitting in a compartment. Ron was ranting on about the Quidditch World Cup, Hermione was reading the Daily Prophet, Charlotte was stroking Shadow and Harry was staring into space. Lottie's head peeked up when she heard the trolley lady approach the door.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?"

Ron immediately stood up and started rooting through his pockets for his money, Charlotte politely smiled at the old woman and shook her head as a "no thank you." And Ron groaned when he was a couple sickles short. Harry kindly paid for his sweets and began to tell the lady what he wanted when Cho Chang came up behind and got her stuff.

Before she left, she smiled at Harry and Charlotte had to hold back a laugh because Harry frowned and looked incredibly uncomfortable. Cho left with a huff and Harry paid for his stuff, he suddenly threw a chocolate frog at Lottie's face and it hit her nose. Charlotte groaned and muttered as she rubbed her nose in pain.

"Ow! Bloody hell, Harry!"

Harry chuckled and sat down, she thanked him for the chocolate frog as she began stuffing her face with it. Hermione slammed down the paper before complaining.

"This is horrible, how can the ministry not know who conjured it? Isn't there any security?"

Ron replied whilst chewing.

"Loads, according to Dad. That's what worried them so much, it happened right under their noses."

Charlotte nodded, agreeing with him and she looked over at Harry to see him rubbing his scar with an uncomfortable look on his face. Hermione sighed and asked.

"It's hurting again, isn't it? Your scar."

Harry waved her off and replied.

"It's fine."

Charlotte sat back and placed her hand on his shoulder, she then stated softly.

"You know, Sirius will want to hear about this, what you saw at the world cup, and the dream.."

She grabbed some parchment, a quill, ink and a book he can use to lean on. He smiled lightly and thanked her as she handed him the stuff, she watched him write to Sirius with a smile on her face.

They finally got to Hogwarts and instead of them going to the great hall first thing, they were told to wait in the courtyard for something. So, they waited and waited until a ship came out of the black lake. The students stared at it in awe and their attention was taken away by some screeches from the sky, they looked up to see 4 flying horses attached to a massive carriage.

Hagrid had the job of helping it land and students bursted out into laughter when the force knocked him over. He was fine though, just a bit dizzy.

Anyway, once that was over, they were told to settle down in the great hall, so they did. Charlotte sat in between Ginny and Hermione, as Ron sat opposite them with Seamus, Harry, Dean and Neville. They were talking about what would be happening since there was two different school coming here whilst the new first years were getting sorted. Shortly after, their questions were answered when Dumbledore began his speech.

"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 was cut off by Mr Filch entering the hall jogging quite weirdly if I must say. He jogged to Dumbledore and whispered to him, Dumbledore nodded and sent him away, everyone watched as Filch jogged back out of the hall. Dumbledore cleared his throat and got the students attention as he continued.

"So, Hogwarts has been chooen to host a legendary event, the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Now, for those of you who do not know, the tri-wizard tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From 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 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 Maxime!"

Charlotte didn't have time to react about the announcement of the Tri-Wizard Tournament because the great hall doors opened and a group of ladies wearing blue silk uniforms came waltzing in. Her mouth dropped at the beauty of these girls, nearly all of them were blonde. Everyone watched as they made butterflies erupt as they sighed. Then, a woman taller than Hagrid came walking in with her head held high. A smaller girl, wearing a uni-tard, began flipping around whilst an older girl, that looked like her sister, twirled around. Charlotte's surprised she's not dizzy because she definitely would if she just kept spinning around in circles.

Hermione and Charlotte stared at the girls in jealousy as the boys stared at the girls in awe, no wonder, the girls are probably Veela's. They're that beautiful.

The girls and the woman had finished their entrance and Dumbledore added.

"And now, our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and the high master Igor Karkaroff!"

A group of muscly men, holding staffs began marching into the hall. Lottie's mouth dropped again at the aura these guys were showing, they were wearing these massive coats that just looked so warm and comfortable. Ron's eyes widened and Charlotte smirked as he exclaimed.

"It's Viktor Krum!"

Charlotte watched as Krum, another man and the headmaster strided into the great hall. She snickered as one of the guys began to play with fire, Lottie kicked Seamus' shin and muttered to him.

"You and him can be friends, you both have the talents of pyrotechnics."

Seamus chuckled, kicked her shin back and replied.

"Oh, shut up, Lottie."

Charlotte let out a laugh at his face as it went bright red, everyone listened as Dumbledore carried on.

"Now, for those of you who play Quidditch, I am saddened to say that there will be no Quidditch this year since the TriWizard Tournament is happening."

This made Charlotte frown and she yelled with the other Quidditch players.

"That's not fair!"

"You don't know what you're doing!"

"That's absolute bullshit!"

Dumbledore sighed and was going to silence them when it started thundering and raining, students screamed in fear and someone stopped it, they looked to the person to see that it was Alastor Moody. Whispers and murmurs came from students about the unexpected visitor.

Apparently, Moody is now the new DADA teacher which is good I guess. The Minister also revealed the Goblet of Fire which was so cool. Unfortunately, only students the age of 17 can put their name in, which got a lot of negative reactions.

But, Charlotte hoped that whoever does enter, will be safe. The students also finally got to eat, thank Godric. And after eating some scrumdiddlyumptious food, everyone got to go to bed and Charlotte dived into bed and slept very good.
