Ron has turned into a great celebrity. People seemed to give more attention to Ron than Harry. Ron enjoyed it and Harry obviously felt it was nice..

The remedial classes were going on well for the three and Harry started to get a hang about Potions. The Triwizard tournament was about to begin and all the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons had arrived. McGonagall started giving her speech

" Let's welcome Madame Maxime , the Headmistress of Beauxbatons and Svent Sveet , the Headmaster of Durmstrang"

There was a huge round of applause

"This year we are again hosting the Triwizard tournament and as you all already know , there will be 5 champions, 2 each from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons and 1 from Hogwarts. The champion will be selected by an unbiased judge, the Goblet of fire. Whoever willing to join the tournament can put their names in a parchment within two days from now"

There was a huge murmur

"Silence! This time there is no age restriction and the exams won't be cut as the tasks will be far less dangerous this time. The prize money is 1000 Galleons."

"Also this time every Quidditch match of the three houses are about to happen here. The detailed schedule will be put tomorrow in all the notice boards"

And soon everyone went back to their dormitory. The next day there was a heated arguement in the common room

"Harry, you must put your name"

"No, I won't"

"Why?"

"I shouldn't have participated last time but I did, now I can but I won't. Hope you got it"

"That's stupid"

"I mean, I don't want to get into that stupid tournament again."

"Okay, we both are going to try our luck and will you accompany us?"

"Obviously, yes"
