Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter just Ella and Kathy.

They decided to follow the students and what they witnessed was amazing but Ella had to admit she was a little anxious. The man who killed her parents is coming to Hogwarts. She wondered if Mr. and Mrs. Weasley knew. They did say there was something that would be going on at Hogwarts but why wouldn't they tell her about Karkaroff coming here. She watched in awe as a boat came up from under the Black Lake, then shortly after that a largw carriage with for rather large horses came flying by and heard Fred(or was it George) speak.

"There's something you don't see everyday." Ella chuckled and soon all the students and teachers were in the Great Hall getting settled for the Feast. She sat down at the Gryffindor table in-between Fred and George. She looked up at the Staff Table noticed that there was a sit that was empty. She guessed it was the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, there were also two extra seats. Those were probably for Karkaroff and the Headmaster or Headmistress of Beauxbatons. Suddenly she was tense again. Karkaroff was going to be sitting at the staff table at her school. She sighed frowning. The twins noticed this, glanced at eachother and both put a comforting hand on her shoulders.

"Stop worrying." George said looking at her. "Everything will be fine."

"I'm not worried…It's just…In a few moments the man who murdered my parents is going to walk through those doors and…and…I'm supposed to just sit here and…" Her face was red and she was fuming. She didn't know what to think. Suddenly she wasn't as hungry as she was an hour ago.

"Listen." Fred said. "I know it's going to be hard but…"

"Don't let him get to you…" Ella opened her mouth to argue but George stopped her. "If you try to do something you'll be just as bad as him, you don't want that do you." Ella frowned but nodded in agreement.

"Your right." She sighed

"We always are." Fred said smirking. Ella chuckled rolling her eyes.

"Plus he can't hurt you here, not with Dumbledore around anyway and if he even tried to get anywhere near you he would answer to us." George told her. Fred nodded in agreement and Ella couldn't help but smile at her two best friends.

"Didn't you just say not to let him get to you?" Ella said looking at them and raising an eyebrow.

"We never said anything about us, we only told you not to let him get to you." Fred said also rasing his eyebrow and smiling.

"It's like you don't know us at all." George said and they both smirked their signature Weasley Twin smirks. Ella laughed and gave them both sideways hugs.

"I can never be upset around you two, Can I?" She smiled looking at the both of them.

"Nope." They shook their heads and smiled earning yet another grin from Ella.

The room began to grow quiet as Dumbledore got up to speak. Soon the schools attention was at him and he began to speak

"Well now that we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen…" he paused as Filch ran up to him and whispered something. Dumbledore answered him also whispering leaving the students with confused expressions. Then Filch ran back and Dumbledore continued. "So Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The TriWizard Tournament." Almost everyone looked even more confused. "For those of you who don't know…The Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear. If chosen, you stand alone. And trust me when I say, these contest are not for the faint-hearted. But more of that later. For now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and their Headmistress Madame Maxine."

The doors of the Great Hall opened revealing girls wearing a light blue dresses obviously their uniform they walked down the Isle between the Gryffindor and the Slytherin tables. They would stop and sigh every once while which Ella thought was really annoying because practically every boy was staring at them. Ella frowned, she looked over at Ginny and Hermione who were also frowning and glaring at Harry and Ron who didn't notice. Sighing she knew it was because Ginny fancied Harry and Hermione fancied Ron. Ella looked over at George who was still staring at the Beauxbatons girls who just sighed by Harry and Ron. Ella rolled her eyes. Why do have to like George she thought. She shared a glance with Ginny and Hermione. Stupid boys. They finally reached the edge of the table and released little butterflies sighing again. Ella rolled her eyes. Then a very tall woman with short black hair wearing a black coat with fur at the collar walked between the Isles.

"Blimey, that's one big woman." Ella heard Seamus whisper to Ron, who were sitting across from us. They reached the end of the Isle where Dumbledore was. A girl was doing gymnastics and one girls did a spin realizing more butterflies and the both bowed. Everyone clapped…the boys being the loudest.

After greeting Madame Maxine, Dumbledore went to the front of the class silenced the clapping and spoke once more.

"And now our friends from the north, the proud sons of Durmstrang and their High Master Igor Karkaroff."

The doors of the Great Hall opened once more and and a bunch of strong looking boys walked in pounding what looked like staffs on the floor which created sparks. They did some tricks with their staffs and one of the boys did a flip and as they were doing this a man with long black hair a short beard and mustache and a scowl fixed upon his face. Ella tensed up when she saw him. Instantly she knew that he was him. The man who killed her parents. George put an arm around her and gently squeezed it. She looked up at him and instantly felt a bit calmer. She smiled then she heard Ron say.

"Blimey, it's him…Victor Crum." He sounded like a obsessed fan girl. Ella laughed and rolled her eyes. The twins snickered and shook their heads. Then one of the boys in the front blew fire out of his wand that took shape of a dragon and disappeared as quickly as it came. Karkaroff hugged Dumbledore like they were old friends which made Ella's skin crawl but she decided it was best to try and stay calm so after a calming breath she turned to the front of the great hall and Dumbledore announced it was time to eat. A little more than an hour later the golden plates and goblets were cleared of food and drink. Ella then noticed in the front of the room a few people carried a large golden case and set in front of the room.

"Your attention please. I'd like to say a few words…" Dumbledore spoke and immediately the whole room began to quiet down. Once it was silent he began again. " Eternal Glory. That is what awaits the Student who wins the TriWizard Tournament. But to do this the Student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks." Curious Ella eagrly waited to listen his next words; she then heard Fred and George speak.

"Wicked." They both spoke in awe and amusement. Ella chuckled. Same old boys she thought smiling. Dumbledore continued to speak.

"To explain all this we have the Head of the Department of Inernational Magical Cooperation, Mr. Bartemus Crouch..."

A man stood up began to walk up to stand with Dumbledore. He had graying brown hair and mustache to match; he also wore a long black cloak. He sure did look like someone from the ministry.

Just then the bewitched sky above them began to turn dark and stormy, a few people let out scared screams. Ella then noticed a man walking out from the shadows of a doorway. He had light straw like hair and…apart from his scared face…he had the most peculiar eye Ella had ever seen. His normal eye was rather small and a light blue, his other one however was large and blue but…it whizzed around like crazy as if it was trying to look around the whole room at once. Then the stormy rain got worse and it began to rain and lightning cane from it. There were more screams throughout the room until the man with the odd eye pointed his wand at it and it immediately stopped. The man put his wand in his pocket and walked toward Dumbledore holding a large staff.

"It's Mad Eye Moody." Ron said surprised.

"Alastor Moody?" Hermione said confused. "The Auror?"

"Auror?" Dean Thomas another good friend of Gryffindor, asked.

"Dark wizard catcher." Ron explained. "Half the cells in Azkaban are filled thanks to him; he's supposed to be mad as a hatter these days."

Mad Eye walked over…well actually he sort of limped over to Dumbledore and shook his hand. They looked like they spoke and then Dumbledore patted Mad Eyes back. Mad Eye then walked off to the side, pulled out a flask and took a large drink of whatever was inside.

"What's that he's drinking? Do you suppose?" Seamus asked. Ron shrugged.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's Pumpkin Juice." Harry said looking towards Mad Eye. Then Mr. Crouch walked up to the front of the room and began to speak.

"After due consideration, the Ministry has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of 17, should be aloud to put forth their name for the TriWizard tournament." That's when people began to complain. Mr. Crouch had to speak a little louder as the noise in the room grew. "This decision is finalized…" He could speak any longer due to everyones yelling.

"That's rubbish!" Fred and George yelled.

"Boo!" Ella sighed. She nudged the both in their sides just whe Dumbledore yelled.

"SILENCE!"

The whole room quieted down and Dumbledore took his wand and pointed it at the golden case. It soon melted away revealing a large wooden goblet with blue fire glowing from inside it. Then Dumbledore began to speak.

"The Goblet of Fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly! If chosen, there's no turning back. As from this moment, The Triwizard Tournament has begun!"
