Chapter 4
Sorry about the last chapter… it kind of sucked. But it isn't my fault! I know what you're thinking, whose fault could it be? It was my crazy friend who was going to D.C. and wanted to read my new chapter before she left so at 1:00 am. On Saturday (because she was leaving early Sunday) I wrote the crappiest chapter known to man… Thank you, and while I am here… I DO NOT OWN HARRY JAMES POTTER OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS J.K. ROWLING OWNS!

The whole school was buzzing, what was the completion going to mean for all of them? Hufflepuff of course, began hyperventilating. They were loves and healers, not fighters.
"Anita," Briana called softly, looking at her friend that was falling asleep into on her textbook.
"What?" said the groggy voice of her best friend.
"Class ended," she said with a touch of humor.
"Oh… I should go then," she said looking around at the empty class in bewilderment.
"Yes, Yes you should," Briana said, shaking her head at the supposed more 'responsible' one.
"Anyway… I am really glad today in Halloween," Anita said while walking down the hall with her friend.
"Really? Why?" Anita asked.
"Because today we find out more about the war," Briana said.
"Oh… right," she said, looking down at her.
They walked to the great hall in a comfortable silence. When they got there they simultaneously gasped. It was beautiful, the giant pumpkins adorned the tables, and bats flew about with the candles looking more sparkly than ever.
"There you two are! I have been looking everywhere for you. Look at what we found at all the seats!" Harry said.
"Well… here we are!" Briana said unhelpfully.
Hermione rolled her eyes and shoved a paper/ parchment in their faces.
Dear Students,
I am sure you have all been very excited to learn all about this fascinating completion that was suggested to us from Salem School of Magic. You will not have any classes accept dueling and DADA. This will count as your homework and tests. The more magic from all the different classes the more participation you get, you will be judged also by your team effort along with your individual dueling. If you get first place in the tournament, you go on to go on to compete other schools. In the event to a tie it would be two houses would compete with the other two. I hope you have fun with this little experiment of ours.
Sincerely
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
They all stared at each other with shock.
"No exams!" Ron cried.
"No homework!" Harry said, jumping up and down.
"No exams! I already started studying…" said Hermione looking mournfully at the small piece of paper.
The all laughed at her statement and grabbed the paper and showed it to the rest of the Griffendore's and Slytherin's and laughed at the Slytherin people's stiffness.
"Oh and by the way, children; it starts tomorrow. These are the things you have to protect. If another team steals it you have 5 days to get it back and steal there's… any questions?" Professor Dumbledore said.
Just as he said this four shields of different colors appeared on the house tables. The Gryffindor table had a gold shield with rubies forming the letter G. On the Hufflepuff table right next door they had an onyx shield with yellow topaz forming the letter H. Ravenclaw had a silver one with sapphires forming R. And the Slytherin table had a silver shield with an emerald S.
"Have fun, of you trot," he said beaming at everyone's face.
The teachers looked at each other and knew it would be a long year.
Slytherin Common room/ home base
"Alright, we have a reputation to up hold. So HAVE NO MERCY! This could potentially be the biggest thing Slytherin has ever won. Anyone who isn't serious about winning, please leave NOW!" Marcus Flint the head boy yelled.
"Alright," a girl next to him with a stack of papers said "I have prepared a strategy, follow it and we will win. Don't follow it and… we can't be held responsible for what might happen," she said looking around.
"Wow… no pressure," Briana said, looking at the girl.
"For those of you who don't know I am Jade Black," the girl said.
After the introduction was made, she handed out the planes that were very complex.
"Be ready, and after tomorrow we will be making oaths of secrecy; sleep tight!" Marcus said before heading upstairs.
"Um… ok then, I guess we are dismissed…" Daphne said, looking around.
"Yup, I guess so," Briana said.
At the Gryffindor Common room/home base
"Well, we are going to fight hard! People we cannot lose, we have to defend the Godric Gryffindor honor!" Harry Potter said , this lead to a general round of cheers.
"I will be teaching younger years to do spell, so they may be more useful to our purposes. Also, it has come to my attention that we have a particularly sly third year group this year; I expect as much information on the other houses as possible. Our strategist Ron Weasly will be putting tracking devices that correspond to this parchment," Harry said, holding up a parchment, "will allow him to know where we are and give us directions because we need his expertise. Because we are relying so heavily on him; he will not leave this common room and we must do whatever we have to, to protect him."
"Any questions?" Hermione asked after Harry made his speech.
"Yeah, can I use my Martial arts skills? I have been an expert since I was 13," Anita said, looking at everyone.
"Yup, that is fine. Do what you have to so we WIN!"
"Alright, well then it would be fair for you to note I am an animags," Anita said filing her nails.
"What!"
"Yup, my form is a Raven. I am considering renaming my form Nevermore. I think Midnight is to easy to guess," She continued.
"Also, Briana is one too. She has the form of a pitch black panther. Mine is less noticeable," She said.
"Anyway, we should go to bed," Hermione said suddenly looking at her watch.
"Why? What time is it?" Ron asked.
"Nearly 11!" she said, practically pushing them all upstairs.
"Fine, Fine good night!" everyone called.
AN- I think this chapter is much better them my last. But if you don't agree please feel free to R/R
