CHAPTER SIX: The New Tournament

Evan and Athena looked at each other, both with confusion on their face. Jason looked at them each, just as confused. Whispers began to be so loud they could barely hear the students next to them.

"SILENCE!" Headmaster Fontaine shouted once again. The hall went quiet once more. "I know many of you don't know what the Triwizard Tournament is. To explain, are the heads of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement division of the Ministry of Magic, and the president of MACUSA." Headmaster Fontaine shouted. Just as he said this, two people rose from the sides of the front table. Evan wondered why he didn't see them earlier. One of them had dark black hair and bright green eyes. He had circular glasses which gently rested on his nose. Evan glanced at the top of his forehead. He could barely make out a scar above his right eye, that formed a lightning bolt. Evan knew exactly who that was. That was the head Auror over in Britain. That was Harry Potter. Evan moved his gaze from Harry over to the other man who had stood at the same time. He was about the same age as Harry. He was Chinese. He was scrawny, and his suit seemed to be slightly too big. Evan should have known who this is, but he couldn't place him.

"Hello everybody. I'm Harry Potter. I'm the head Auror at the Ministry of Magic in Great Britain. I am here to make sure that the Triwizard Tournament goes as planned." Harry spoke up. The other man nodded in agreement before speaking as well.

"And I am Bai Yang. I'm the president of MACUSA. I am also here to overwatch the Triwizard Tournament" he spoke, his voice refind and deep. Headmaster Fontaine spoke up again.

"These two will be here for the duration of the year, so get used to them" Fontaine spoke.

"Now, the Triwizard Tournament was originally between the three schools of Europe. Durmstrang, Hogwarts, and Beauxbatons. This year will be the first time that other schools will participate. It's a series of challenges to test magical abilities, intelligence and courage." Mr. Yang explained.

"The last one was in the 1994-95 school year at Hogwarts. I myself was a champion. However some things happened during this tournament to cause it to get suspended again. Which is why the rules and regulations have been changed. The challenges will not be as dangerous as previous tournaments, and each one will be hosted by someone, to ensure that no immediate harm will be caused." Harry continued.

"As well as nothing fatal is to be included. But you must be fifteen years or older in order to enter as a champion" Mr. Yang said. "Are these rules understood?" he asked. A whisper of agreement was heard throughout the hall.

"Alright, now with the new rules out of the way, it's time to introduce the other two schools that will be participating in the tournament" Harry said.

"First all the way from Brazil is Castelobruxo, the South American school" Mr. Yang said. As he said this the doors to the hall flew open and a group of students walked in. They had bright green robes. When they walked in, they walked with elegance and poise. They were very calm and collected. As they entered, they took seats amongst the Ilvermorny students, which crowded up the hall even more. Their headmistress stood next to Headmaster Fontaine. She had the same green robes as her students. Her hair was covered by a hat which had a curve towards the top, and a veil covered her face.

"Lastly, the other school that will be joining us for the tournament is my alma mater, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" Harry said. The Hogwarts students entered just after he said this. They walked awkwardly, with no rhythm at all. The robes looked the same as Evan's mother's robes that she had in her closet, aside from slight color differences between a few of them. They sat in with the Ilvermorny students as well. Their headmistress walked up to the front. She stopped when she got next to Harry.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Potter" she said. Harry smiled.

"You too Professor McGonagall" Harry told her. She walked next to Headmaster Fontaine. He took a step forward and spoke again,

"Alright, Ilvermorny students, get used to having these schools being here. They will be here for the whole year. Now, if you would follow your House prefects, to your dorms, first years, if you would follow your House heads, they will show you around the school" Headmaster Fontaine said. The hall got loud again as students began piling out.
