Chapter 1:
On the Hogwarts Express heading towards Hogwarts. A long dark brown hair girl was sitting at the window playing with a necklace around her neck. There was two boys sitting in the same compartment along with her. The red hair boy was Ron Weasley and the dark hair boy was Harry Potter, her two best friends.
Harry notices what Hermione was playing with.
"What's that you're playing with Hermione?" Harry asked
Hermione looked at Harry and then her necklace. "It's a betroth necklace" she said.
"What's a betroth necklace?" Harry questioned.
"A betroth necklace means Hermione is betroth to a other pureblood wizard," said Ron looking at Hermione.
"You don't get to chose your husband?" questioned Harry again
Hermione shocked her head sideways "It's been plan since the day I was born" she said as she played with her necklace.
"The piece looks like it's broken," said Harry again.
"The other half of this necklace piece is with the one I am promise to," said Hermione whom stopped playing with her necklace and hid it under her shirt.
Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with feeling sorry for their friend.
Then something came to Harry's mind.
"What happens if your betrothed is Draco Malfoy?" questioned Harry.
Hermione stick her finger in her mouth and pretend to vomit.
"I'll never marry him if I was the last pureblood on this planet," said Hermione.
The three friends laughed at the thought of Hermione and Draco married.
Then they got their school uniforms on before the train slowly pulled up to the school. Waiting outside for the first years, was their friend, Hagrid.
"Hi Harry, Ron, Hermione" said the giant.
"Hi Hagrid" all three said at the same time.
Hagrid lead the first years to the boats while the others took the carriage up to the castle.
"I wonder who's taking the Defense against the Dark Arts job?" questioned Hermione as they got to their seats.
"I don't know," said Ron as he watched as the newest first years get sorted into their houses.
After eating and the plates are cleared. Professor Dumbledore got up and spoke
"Welcome to Hogwarts" he said
"This year I got a treat for you students, This year Hogwarts are playing host for the Triwizard Tournament" he paused as students talked loud.
"Hogwarts, and two other Wizarding schools will complete for the Champion Wizard Cup" said Professor Dumbledore.
"I love to introduced the first school, all from France, the students of Beauxbations and their Professor, Madame Maxime." Then the doors of the Great Hall opened and in came the students of Beauxbations. They were all girls. And Madame Maxime came in; she was as tall as Hagrid.
"Welcome Madame Maxime" said Dumbledore as he welcomed her.
The students of Madame Maxime sat at the Ravenclaw's table.
"And here comes the second school, the students of Durmstrang and their Professor Igor Karkaroff. Then the students of Durmstrang came into the Great Hall. All of them in heavy fur coats and hats on.
Ron and Harry's mouth dropped seeing one of the students that came in.
"That's Viktor Krum, I didn't know he's still in school" said Ron
"Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor Karkaroff" as Dumbledore shooked Karkaroff's hands.
Then Dumbledore explain the rules of becoming a champion.
"Only the students of 17 and up could put their names into the goblet" said Dumbledore.
"That stinks," said Fred and George.
A while later, the students from both Beauxbations and Durmstrang got up and left the hall. The Hogwarts students slowly got up and went to their common rooms to get ready for bed.
