Story Notes
I know it has been quite some time since I have updated this story. Reason being is the lack of inspiration. So don't expect quick updates. As I will most likely to be slowly working on this story without posting any chapters. Until I have completed it. Then post the rest of the story all at once. Right this chapter will have a major time skip and change of prospective.
Chapter 2: Tri-wizard Tournament Selection
My life at the moment is truly amassing. I am currently dating Zac Blakely my true love for just over two years now. We officially started dating during the summer before our fifth year at Mako Academy of the Spiritual Arts. To normal muggles it just an elite christian boarding school on the mysterious Mako Island. The truth is only the half of it. As it is the only magical christian school in existence. We get students from all over the world that want to have a christian education in magic. That is not all. As we get a proper muggle education as well. So when we graduate we can go off to a muggle university if we wanted to.
In the past ten years the only loophole in admission is that Professor McGonagall sends all British muggle-borns to us. As she told their families the truth about the muggle-born's future. She then gave them hope with their much better prospects by attending our school.
When Hogwarts attendance began to drop like a stone. The magical Government of the UK did a major hissy fit. When they down right tried to legally force all muggle-borns to attend locally. My dad had used his power as a founders heir to place an automatic veto such laws. Citing both the Hogwarts charter and the law surrounding Hogwarts. The law state that so long as even one of the founder's bloodlines is still alive anywhere in the world, Hogwarts is untouchable by the government.
When combined with the fact that my dad is still alive and on the board of governors. He pushed for Hogwarts reform. Now it must provide an education that can and will translate into the muggle world. Which is a slow process but is now getting better a decade later. As qualified muggle-borns are slowly joining the staff. Which had a side effect of having Dumbledore's pet Death Eater Snape pushed out of the head potions teacher's post. Before being forced out of the job entirely. As dad had also placed a requirement of a teaching qualification. Along with making a binding oath to teach their subject properly, without any kind of bias.
Now I am part of Mako Academy's Tri-wizard Tournament student delegation. Having already sat my NEWTs just before I left for the Tournament. Those who are joining me are sixth years and a few fellow seventh years. Among the staff is my stepmother, who is the Headmistress and those who normally teach seventh year students.
I know that I am very likely to be chosen for Mako Academy. As there is only seven of us entering and they are running three tournaments at the same time. One each for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. While third that has two ranging Hemisphere campions with the third being selected by the Goblet of Fire. Knowing my luck I may be selected for both the Southern Hemisphere tournament and the Campion's tournament. Like the attempt to enter me in the last northern tournament. However my fears were alleviated on halloween night. As I was only drawn for the combined torment. While Zac was chosen as Mako Academy's champion for the southern tournament. We promised to help each other out.
