I sat down on the stool when Professor Mgonagall called my name. People were whispering and gasping about me. I looked around the great hall. I gasped. I was really nervous. my hands were shaking nervously.
Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on my head. "Ah, daughter of the famous Harry Potter. where shall I put you?" The sorting hat said. I was really nervous right now. "Not Slytherin, please anything but, Slytherin" I whispered.
"Not Slytherin eh? You know when your father first came here I almost put him in Slytherin and he said the exact same words you did. you would do well in Slytherin just like your father would have" The sorting hat said. "Please not Slytherin" I said again. "Well then if you don't want Slytherin then I better put you in...GRYFFINDOR!" the sorting hat shouted.
I sighed with relief and smiled. Everyone clapped and cheered for me. I smiled as I sat down next to my parents and my Aunt and Uncles. "Congrats Lana" My Uncles said. "Thanks" I said.
after a while, the sorting finally finished. "Well, now that we're all settled in and sorted I would 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..." Professor Dumbledore was cut off, when Filch walked into the room. he ran up to Professor Dumbledore and whispered something into his ear that I could not make out.
"So...Hogwarts has been chosen, to host a legendary event, the Triwizard tournament. now for all of you who do not know, the Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of, Magical contests from each school a single student is selected to complete. 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 Beauxabatons Acadamy of Magic. and their headmistress, Madam Maxine" Professor Dumbledor said.
the doors opened and a group of girls walked inside. they all wore light blue uniforms and hats. they were very pretty. Magical butterflies flew around us as they passed and soft music was playing. a tall lady who was wearing red clothing was Madam Maxine.
They bowed as they walked up to the teacher's dining table. we all clapped and cheered. Professor Dumbledor raised his hands to silence us. "And now for our friends,from the north. please proud sons of Dumstrang.
and their high master Igor Karkaroff" Dumbledor said. when the doors opened boys with brown clothing walked in. upbeat music was playing as they were waving their staffs. "Wow mom look!" I said.
Sparks were on the floor as they banged their staffs on the floor. everyone gasped with amazement. the upbeat music was still playing as the boys were doing some tricks."Awsome" I whispered. when the boys got to the dining table where the teachers were another older boy with a serious look on his face and a man was walking in,this must be Igor.
"Hermione it's him, Victor Krum!" Ron said. "Who?" I said. "Victor Krum, the quidditch player we saw at the world cup!" Ron said. one of the boys blew fire, from their wand and a fire dragon came out of the wand and lit up a light. Igor hugged Dumbledor and Dumbledor hugged, him back.
"Albus" Igor said. "Igor" Dumbledor said, and smiled. after we were introduced to the new students, a bunch of food has appeared on the table. I had a lot of meat and a bunch of other stuff. after the main course, dessert appeared, on the table.
after we finished eating our food professor Dumbledore got our attention. A small golden tower was on the table. "Your attention please!" Dumbledore said as he walked next to the tower and stopped. "I would like to say a few words, Eternal Glory. this is what the student will get who wins the triwizard, tournament.
but to do this the student must survive three tasks. three...extremely dangerous tasks. "Wicked" My Uncles said. "I wanna enter" I said. "No, it's too, dangerous" Hermione said.
"Mom" I whined. "I'm serious Lana" Hermione said. the door to the back of the dining room opened and a man walked inside. he had one fake eye and a mechanical leg and had a walking stick. another older man walked up to Professor Dumbledore.
Thunder then crashed into the building, and rain was pouring down. we all screamed as we heard the rumble of the thunder. I hid behind Hermione as I was scared of thunder. the man with the fake eye, stopped the rain and thunder. "It's okay, we're safe now" Hermione said.
I came out of hiding and looked ahead of me where professor Dumbledore was and held, Hermione's hand. Ron was shocked when he saw this man. "Bloody hell, it's mad-eye Moody" Ron said. "Who's that dad?" I said. "Alastor Moody, the Auror?" Hermione said with a confused look.
"Auror?" The kid who was sitting next to my mom said. "Dark-wizard catcher. Half of the cells in Azkaban have filled thanks to him. he is supposed to be mad as a hatter these days" Ron said. Moody walked up to Dumbledor and greeted him.
I seemed kinda sketchy about this guy though. "Dad, I don't know about this guy he seems sketchy" I said. "We will just wait and see, he doesn't seen suspicious right now" Harry said. I nodded. Moody then took a small bottle and drank from it.
"What's that he is drinking do you suppose?" The boy next to Hermione said. "I don't know but I don't think it's pumpkin juice" Harry said. "Milk maybe?" I said. Crouch then walked up to Professor Dumbledore. "After due consideration, the Ministry, of magic has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of 17 shall be allowed to put forth their name for the Triwizard tournament.
This decision is, final!" Crouch said. everyone did not like this. people started yelling and booing so I decided to join in as I am impressionable. "Bullshit!" I yelled. "Come on Lana" Harry said.
"What? Everyone else is doing it" I said. "That's rubbish!" my Uncle's yelled. "You tell them Uncle's" I said. I continued booing along with the rest of the crowd."They are not too happy about that then" Hermione said.
"SILENCE!" Professor Dumbledore roared. everyone quieted down when Dumbledore got everyone's attention. With his wand, Dumbledore then took down the golden tower revealing the goblet of fire. Blue flames came out of the goblet. "Wow" I said with amazement.
Professor Dumbledore spoke up. "The goblet of fire. anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment paper, and, throw it into the flame, before this hour on Thursday night. if chosen there is no turning back. as from this moment forward. The triwizard tournoment has begun"
