DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to Harry Potter or any of the characters from the series. Just sayin'

Cassia is my OC and the characters from the other schools (and their school names etc), and some other characters are all my own,

But the world in which they live and the other people in the story are JK Rowling's

Cassia Scamander and the return of Tri-Wizard Tournement- Chapter One

'I'm quite excited for Cassia. Do you think she'll put her name into the goblet, Rolf?' Luna asked dreamily as she waved her wand at a pot of strange, purple soup.

Rolf laughed,

'Of course she will, darling. Cassia could never let such an opportunity pass her by'

'What opportunity?' Cassia asked absently as she strolled into the kitchen with her long wavy brown hair sitting messily, wearing an ankle length, yellow dress with butterflies sewed all over it and orange sandals.

'You'll have to wait, Cassia. You'll find out soon enough!' Luna said mysteriously. Cassia shrugged in acceptance and sat at the dinner table to wait for her soup.

It was the day before Cassia would be arriving at Hogwarts for her 6th year and she was just glad to be able to see all of her wonderful friends again. She would be going to the station with the Weasleys this year, Rose had invited her to come along. Rose and Cassia had become very close over the years both through the friendship of their parents and the fact that they were both proud Ravenclaws.

Luna placed a bowl of the purple soup on front of Cassia who's face lit up as she began shovelling it down her throat.

When Cassia had finished eating, she ran up to her room to collect her things. Her trunk was orange and had flowers and butterflys painted all over it. She brought everything downstairs, including her pet toad, Rupert, who followed her obediently to the living room.

'Remember to owl me at least once a week!' Luna said through a lump in her throat as she embraced her daughter tightly

'Of course I will, mum'

'And, sweety, be careful. We love you' Rolf said as he hugged Cassia warmly

Cassia waved at her parents before turning on the spot and appearing with a loud POP outside Rose's door. She knocked twice.

'Oh, Cassia, come in' Mrs Weasley exclaimed as she grabbed Cassia for a hug. Her bushy brown hair always tickled Cassia's neck, but Cassia didn't mind, she thought that Mrs Weasley was fantastic.

'Cassi!'

Rose bolted down the stairs and Cassia ran at her, too. They hugged and spoke so fast and high pitched that Hermione couldn't understand a single bit of what they were saying. The friends hadn't seen eachother all summer because Cassia had been on holiday with her parents searching for a five-legged Heckle Bore, they didnt find one but they had an amazing time.

'Cassi, this summer has been so boring without you. James, Albus and Lily have been over a lot but it wasn't the same as it would be with you. They all still make fun of me for not being in Gryffindor!'

'Well I'm here now and at least we both know that Ravenclaw's the best!'

They both giggled and made their way to Rose's room. The room was painted blue and silver and had Ravenclaw banners draped all over. Although Rose loved her family she enjoyed the fact that she was different from them. Rose and Cassia had bonded greatly over their willingness to be different, their uniqueness.

'Look at this, Cassi' Rose said as she pulled out a bright blue broomstick from her wardrobe, 'It's from Uncle George. It's a broom that can make anyone or anything on it invisible and it's faster than any broom there is! This is the only one he's made so far, it was a prototype that came out perfectly. They wont even be out for like a year!'

Cassia was thoroughly impressed, but also a little confused

'That's amazing. But doesn't George own a joke shop?'

'Well, yes' Rose said, 'But he has decided to expand. He's actually surprisingly good at broom designing'

They talked for hours before finally falling into bed, Rose on top bunk and Cassia bottom, and both lay awake for hours thinking of Hogwarts.
