Disclaimer: I own none of the Harry Potter characters. They belong to the brilliant mind of JK Rowling. The only characters that I own are Zane, Katie, And Kerri.

Chapter 10: The Triwizard Tournament

Harry couldn't wait for the feast to begin. His stomach was rumbling with hunger. The sorting was already finished and Zane was sitting beside Harry. The Creevey Brothers were sitting a few seats down. Collin's younger brother, Dennis, was starting his first year. Ginny was sitting on the other side of Harry, grasping his hand in hers. Ron and Hermione were sitting across from them, and Fred and George were sitting next to Ginny, glaring at her clasping hands with Harry.

They had just introduced the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professors with huge applause from their section when Mrs. Potter was introduced. Now Dumbledore was quieting them to make an announcement.

"Hogwarts will play host to the Triwizard Tournament. For those who don't know, this tournament was established over a hundred years ago to help spread immunity to the three wizarding schools. From each school, a single student will compete in a series of contests. This contest is not for the faint-hearted. If chosen, there's no turning back." A murmur of excitement ran through the great hall. "But more about that later. Now won't you please join me in welcoming our visitors for the year."

After the visiting schools were introduced, they were all seated, and Dumbledore introduced Barty Crouch, the head of the International Games and Sports department at the Ministry. When Mr. Crouch announced that no one under the age of seventeen could enter, the entire Great Hall erupted into fits of rage; Fred and George among them.

After Dumbledore got everyone settled down again, Mr. Filch brought out an old wooden chest. It was opened and the Goblet of Fire was placed on the table in the middle of the room.

They were all walking towards the doors that would lead them out of the Great Hall as a big group of Durmstrang students walked towards the doors as well. Harry waited for them all to pass when their High Master, Igor Karkaroff, stopped in his tracks as he spotted the scar on Harry's forehead.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't gawk at my son, Igor." Lily came up behind them.

"Mrs. Potter,"

"Run along, kids. It's better that you don't mix with him."

"Ok." They walked out of the Great Hall and up to the seventh floor where a portrait of a lady in a pink dress that opened to the Gryffindor Common room.

They all sat by the fire place and waited for Zane to come in with the rest of the first years. He came in and ran to them when he spotted them.

"I saw the staircase change."

"You have to watch out for that." Harry told him.

"Are any of you going to put your name in the Goblet of Fire for the tournament?"

"We're not old enough yet."

"We only have a few weeks until we're old enough." Fred said. "It shouldn't matter."

"They're planning something, aren't they?" Zane asked.

"Oh, yeah." Ginny said. "Count on it."

AN: So there was another chapter. Hope you liked it. Hopefully, I'll be able to post a couple more chapters next week. I never know when I'll be able to get the computer. And I should warn all of the regular readers of my stories, that I'll be moving by the end of June. So I won't be posting as much. Maybe not at all. I don't have my own computer but I really need to move out because come July this place will get very crowded when my sister has her baby.

So please R & R.
