Harry Potter's POV

Ron, Hermione, and I were on our way to my favorite place in the world, Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We were currently just chatting when about the school year and the Quidditch Cup we had witnessed over break. When Ron dropped a bomb on us

"Did you guys hear about Dumbledore's cousin?" He asked.

I thought about what he just said about Dumbledore's cousin. I didn't even know Dumbledore had a cousin. It seems like every year I find out something new about Dumbledore.

"He has a cousin?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Fred and George listened to a conversation mom and dad were having and it seems that Dumbledore told them his cousin,who has been home-schooled,will be attending Hogwarts this year. Ron said sounding as shocked as we were.

"What is the gender of his cousin and how old are they?" I asked. "Fred said it's a boy named Percy and he's sixteen." Answered Ron.

That's as far as we got before the train pulled in front of the castle. I was still mesmerized by the beauty of the castle every-time I see it. It is the perfect example of mid-evil architecture. The castle is huge and breathtaking. We all walked in behind Hagrid before I heard whispers and giggles break out.

"What do you think they are whispering about?" I asked Hermione. She didn't answer and just nodded her head to the staff table. I curiously peered up expecting to see all the familiar faces I had grown accustomed to seeing, but something was different.

In between Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore with a bored expression was a boy he was obviously older than me by a couple years he seemed to be sixteen. At first glance you could say we kind of look alike. I have messy black hair, his hair is messy but it looks more windblown like he spends a lot of time at the beach, I have green eyes, his eyes are green also but his is more of a sea-green color that I had never seen before, I was scrawny for my age, while he was extremely fit with easily visible muscles, I was kind of pale, while he had a perfect tan. You know what never mind we don't look that alike. He looked sort of godlike,I guess that explains why every female occupant of the great hall was staring at him with dreamy eyes, Hermione included.

Ron looked about ready to murder him. I wonder why. He doesn't like Hermione does he? I'll ask him later I decided. We all walked over to the Gryffindor table.

"Hermione you can stop looking at him now" Ron said seeming agitated. Hermione suddenly seemed to realize she was staring because she looked back at Ron and me and blushed.

"I wasn't staring Ron, I was simply curious as to who he was." She said defending herself from the obvious ogling over whoever this new guy was.

Dumbledore stood up and this got everyone's attention on the elderly and amazingly powerful wizard in front of us. "As always it is a pleasure to see all of you again and to meet some of you for the first time. I have a few announcements first all Quidditch matches will be canceled for the rest of the year.

As soon as the words were out the great hall went into an uproar from the "you're kiddings" that Fred and George supplied to the "are you mads" that Draco Malfoy offered. I wasn't that much better off,Quidditch was one of my favorite things about Hogwarts. You get to feel free for once flying around the sky on a broomstick it was especially fun for me because I had the best broomstick out right now called the Firebolt. He raised his hands in his cease talking now gesture "I know you are all upset about this but it is for a good reason. This year Hogwarts will be hosting the Tri-Wizard Tournament." He finished off.

Hermione seemed to know because she gasped. Ron looked at her questioningly. She sighed "You two would know if you read your Hogwarts A History."I looked around and realized that I wasn't the only one confused. Majority of the other students must need to brush up on their Hogwarts A History because only the Ravenclaw's,Hermione, and surprisingly Fred and George seemed to understand. They were both smiling and repeating "Wicked" over and over.

"Now" said Dumbledore "I'm sure you are all curious as to what the tournament is." After the nods of several heads he continued "Hogwarts along with the two other wizarding schools will have a champion chosen for three tasks, once chosen you will have to try to complete all your tasks but be warned many have died in this tournament." He added after seeing some students start to look a little too excited. "Now you will try to retain the highest score possible throughout the tournament to win a head start at the final task. The age restriction will be sixteen years old so no-one under fifth year will be able to enter your name into this"he said removing a sheet off of what turned into a goblet. "This" he announced "Is the Goblet of Fire it will choose the three champions, now lets welcome Durmstrang and Beauxbatons."

As soon as the words left his mouth the doors of the great hall opened two reveal two separate lines. One line was filled with big,burly guys with huge fur coats. The other line was filled with beautiful,elegant women in dressy clothing attire. The guys moved forward in a synchronized march and made their way over to Dumbledore. The headmaster and who I assumed was the school leader stepped forward. People (Ron especially) gasped when they realized the school leader was Victor Krum world famous seeker. They shook hands with Dumbledore and he led them over to the Slytherin table who was smiling smugly at the new addition. Next the Beauxbatons group walked up and the Headmistress and who I assumed was the school leader shook hands with Dumbledore. The school gasped not because the school leader was famous but because she was gorgeous. The other girls were the most beautiful I had ever seen and she put them to shame. She was a good height with long blonde hair, nice blue eyes, long legs, and a beautiful figure. Dumbledore then led them over to the Gryffindor table who was now smiling smugly. Dumbledore then raised his hands for silence "Now let me introduce my cousin" He continued when the interruptions were about to happen "His name is Perseus Jackson but he prefers to be called Percy and now he will be sorted." The guy who majority of the girls in the great hall were still staring at made his presence known and caused some of the Beauxbaton students who hadn't seen him yet to gasp. He confidently walked forward sat on the seat and waited. Dumbledore put the hat on his head. I could see some students cross their fingers all hoping to get Dumbledore's cousin in their house. The hat suddenly shouted "This choice was easy he will be placed in

"

An: Next chapter will be in Fleur's POV, you will also find out where Percy was sorted. It shouldn't be that hard to guess.
