Chad POV
The school is waiting outside waiting for the schools to arrive. Most of them seem to be cold. Suddenly a familiar gate appears infront of us and Kisuke and Byakuya step through, Byakuya looking as emotionless as always and Kisuke grinning like a cheshire cat. They walk up to us and Ichigo calls out "Geta-boshi we were wondering when you guys would show up." Next to arrive are the Beauxbaton students who arrive in fly horse-pulled carriages, their headmaster as tall as Hagrid. They wore thin robes and were shivering from the cold as Hagrid led them inside. Finally Durmstrang arrived in a boat in the lake. We all headed inside."I would like to introduce 2 new members of our staff Mr Kisuke and Mr Kuchiki who will be teaching an optional course in hand-to-hand combat." Dumbledore announced. "Now as for the tournament, anyone who wishes to enter shall put their name in the Goblet of Fire." A box floated to the center of the room and unfolded creating a stand and revealing agiant goblet lit by blue flames. "However due to past games it has been decided that only pupils above the age of 17 will be allowed to enter and to enforce this rule an ageline has been placed aroung the goblet." There were several yells of protest from around the hall. "Anyone who wishes has 24 hours to do so"."Are we going to enter?" Ichigo asks, "we may aswell" Hitsugaya replies conjuring up a piece of paper and tearing it into sections. We all wrote our names on the paper "you can't ALL enter!" Ron exclaimed. "Why not?" I ask despite knowing exactly what he is talking about.
Hermione POV
"Why not?" Chad asks, "because of the ageline, most of you are under 17!" Ron tells them. "Pfft, like that would stop us" Hiyori says arriving at the table and writing her name on a scrap of paper. "You can't enter, you're not old enough!" I exclaim. "Watch me" she sneers and walks past the barrier and puts her name in the goblet followed by Hitsugaya, Hikokoro
, Soi Fon, Ichigo, Chad, Tatsuki, Shinji, Rukia and Karin. The whole hall gasped as the transfers in the lower years bypassed the ageline as if it wasn't there. Oddly, I noticed the transfers all seemed relived as Karin went untouched by the age line. "Why didn't you three enter if you can all do it?" Harry asked Orihime, Uryu and Yuzu who hadn't put their names in. "Were not old enough" Uryu stated as if it was obvious "but Karin did it and she and Yuzu are twins!" Ron exclaims "Karin is old enough Yuzu isn't same as Orihime and I" Uryu says."Can't find a loophole huh Uryu? I thought you were the mastermind of all loopholes" Ichigo jibes to Uryu. "I did find a loophole and you know full well why I can't use it." Uryu snaps"I must admit though, I didn't know if it would work for Karin seeing as she and Yuzu are the same age" he concedes."What loophole?" I inquire, curious to see how they were able to trick the age line. Shinji taps the side of his nose "that is for us to know and you to get confused over trying to findout. However it doesn't apply to anyone else in the school so don't start thinking you can step over the line too". Several others around the hall were staring at the transfers whispering to each other, obviously wondering how they had done it. Fred and George went up to them apparently asking how they had done it, eventually they sat back down dejectedly.
24 HOURS LATER Toshiro POV
I sit at the Gryffindor table next to Karin, the hall has gone quiet and everyone is staring up at Dumbledore and the Goblet of fire. The flames rise up and a piece of paper flies out."Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore announces and the hall breaks into applaus as Krum walks to the front of the hall and exits with Igor Karkaroff. "Fleur Delacour" this time a silver haired girl rose from her seat and departed with Madame Maxime "Cedric Diggory" a Hufflepuff boy stands up and leaves with Professor Sprout. "Toshiro Hitsugaya" Dumbledore shouts, I stand shouts of "he's too young" echo around the hall as I exit with Byakuya.
A minute later Harry walks in looking bewildered "Did they send you to come and get us?" Fleur asks "No, I'm the fifth champion apparently" he mumbles, moments later Dumbledore,Bagman, Crouch, Snape, McGonagall and MadEye burst through the door. "Harry did you put your name in the goblet of fire?" Dumbledore asked calmly "N-no I swear I didn't" he turns to me "Toshiro did you put your name in the goblet of fire?" "Yes" I reply to the surprise of everyone in the room. "How?" some of them ask "it's quite simple I wrote my name on the piece of paper and put it in the goblet" "What about the ageline?" Crouch asks "I stepped over it" "How?" "Magic" "Mr Crouch, I do not believe he is going to give us an answer" Dumbledore intervenes. "But what about me, I didn't put my name in the cup, I don't want to play in the tournament" Harry whines. "We must follow the rules, and the rules clearlystate that those people whose names come out of the Goblet of Fire are bound to play in the tournament."
"Well Barty knows the rule book back to front" Bagman says beaming, turning to Karkaroff and Madame Maxime as though the matter was now closed. "I insist on re-entering the names of the rest of my pupils" Karkaroff snarls. He has dropped his unctuos tone and smile now, his face is wearing a very ugly look indeed. "You will set up the Goblet of Fire once more and we will continue adding names until each school has two champions. It's only fair Dumbledore." "But Karkaroff, it doesn't work like that" Bagman starts "The Goblet of Fire's just gone out - it won't re-ignite until the start of the next Tournament-" "- in which Durmstrang will most certainly not be competing!" explodes Karkaroff "After all our meetings and negotiations and compromises, I little expected something of this nature to occur! I have half a mind to leave now!" "Empty threat Karkaroff," growls a voice from near the door. "You can't leave your champion now. He's got to compete. They've all got to compete. Binding magical contract, like Dumbledore said. Convenient, eh?" Moody enters the room. He limps slowly towards the fire, and with every step he takes there is a rather loud clunk -rather over dramatic - Toshiro thought, trying not to snicker. "Convenient? I'm afraid I don't understand you, Moody" Karkaroff sneers, obviously trying to sound disdainful but failing miserably in Toshiro's opinion.
I will be updating irregularly. Also I got my hands on the book today so I will be able to use it now.
The reason Karin was able to step over the ageline is because once you are dead you aren't any age so without age the ageline couldn't stop her or the other soul reapers. Tatsuki and Chad are 17 while Orihime and Uryu are 16, Yuzu is 14.
The story of how Karin became a soul reaper is coming up soon
SO SORRY I THOUGHT I UPLOADED THE CHAPTER BUT ACTUALLY I JUST SAVED IT AS A FILE.
