The Fire Within
Chapter 1
Forth Year - Harry Potter
Albus Dumbeldore stood at the podium in the great hall waiting for the students to finish sitting after the sorting of first years.
"Now that we're all settled and assorted, 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-" Before he could countinue Mr Fliche appeared besides him after running (more like jogging) through the students tables. after a wispered confersation that had all the childen curious as Mr Fliche sort of jogged back the main door
"So, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event The Triwizard Tournament and for those of you that don't 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 Beauxbaton Academy Of Magic and their headmistress Madame Maxine."
(sorry not going to spend time writing either schools entrances but if you think I should just leave a comment and I'll go back and add if there is enough people saying I should.)
Dumberldore meet Madame Maxine at the edges of the table were he politely kissed her on the hand in greeting before she stood of to the side with her students. After the standing ovation from the boys of Hogwarts Dumbeldore sztood in front of them once more and raised his arms to get everyones attention forcased again.
"And now our friends from the north please meet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their High Master Igor Karkaroff"
Soon after the feast began to take place something was bought into the hall by two men in dark blue robes. It was depoisted in front of the podium covered in a dark grey veil.
"Eternal glory. That is what awaits the student who wins the Twiwizard tournament. But to do this, that student must survive three tasks; three extremely dangerous task,"
Mummers could be heard as children where voicing their view on what was being said by their headmaster.
"For this reason, the Ministry has seen fit to impose some changes this year. To tell you more I shall leave it to the head of the deparment of international magic cooperation, Mr Bartemius Crouch"
"Thank you Albus. Now this year an age line shall be placed around the goblet, that age limit is 17," angry and disappointed whispers could be heard from the tables of students. "As well as that being in place we also have some people who will be helping in each task to protect spectators during the challenges. They shall be made know before the tasks begin. That is all. I wish you the best students." With that the veil was removed revieling the goblet in all its glory with its blue flames flickering in side. The students watched a Dumbeldore stood in front of the goblet with his wand pointing to the floor surrounding the goblet drawing the age line that seemed to float inches from the ground in a misty haze.
This year was going to be a tough year for many of the students could feel it in the air as the where dismissed back to their dorms.
A/N - I should warn you that updates for this story will be very slow as RL kicks my a## big time. But also because I struggle with my writing and don't want to put horrible chapters up but that may happen so I shall apologize now :-) - Lil-B
