(A/N: This has been one of my absolute favorite pairings for a very, very
long time. Now I've finally decided to get off my ass and write one! I'm
taking some things from other plots and mixing them into my own little
thing : ) the idea I got for the tournament was taken from another HG/TR
fic called 'everything I know' by: 'one crimson tie' and I'm using it
because it is such a change from the usual messed up time turner thing! Is
change good or bad in this case because I'm also writing a botched time
turner HG/TR fic so tell me how this one is)
Pairings- HG/TR maybe a few other ones thrown in for fun!
*Chapter 1-New Hogwarts Champions*
Hermione Granger applauded loudly as another new Gryffindor joined their tables. Ginny and the others were mumbling about how long the stupid sorting was taking. She smiled at them and then at her Head Girl badge. Being Head Girl had been her dream ever since she had come to Hogwarts. It didn't matter that she had to put up with Malfoy being Head Boy.
"Finally they're done." Ron said and looked eagerly up at Dumbledore for him to say the magic words 'let the feast begin' but Dumbledore merely stood and cleared his throat.
"This year we will be having the annual 'Hogwarts Champions Tournament'" Dumbledore said several people began whispering excitedly including Hermione.
"The Hogwarts Champions Tournament? This is wonderful!" Hermione said excitedly Harry looked at her confused.
"What is it?" Harry asked just as Dumbledore continued speaking.
"For those of you who do not know The Hogwarts Champions Tournament happens once every three hundred years and is quite similar to the Triwizard Tournament. Each house will have five representatives. The representatives will be the five best students to have attended Hogwarts in the last three hundred years. The five contestants will be put through both written and practical tests and once there are only three contestants from each of the houses will compete in a several harder tests. There will be elimination's. Now it is time for the contestants to be chosen. Mr. Filch the goblets please." The grimy old care taker brought forth four goblets and placed them neatly in front of the head master. Dumbledore waved his wand and flames burst out of all four goblets each corresponding to different house colors. The one on the right was red and gold for Gryffindor, the second on the right was yellow and black for Hufflepuff, the second on the left was royal blue and bronze for Ravenclaw, and the final goblet was green and silver for Slytherin. "Now the students will be arriving the moment I call their names so please cheerfully welcome some of the former students, and those who currently attend Hogwarts please stand." Dumbledore pointed his wand at the Gryffindor goblet and muttered something. A piece of parchment shot up out of the goblet. Dumbledore reached his hand out and took a hold of the paper his eyes widened, "Dumbledore, Albus." There was a loud crack and a very handsome youth with auburn hair and twinkling blue eyes appeared.
"'Lo everyone." The boy said waving cheerfully, once they recovered from the shock Gryffindor house began to roar with approval as the young Dumbledore walked over and sat down waving cheerfully to his present self who smiled back before returning his gaze to the next piece of parchment.
"McGonaggall, Minerva." There was another loud crack and a girl with long black hair tied into a braid and sharp brown eyes appeared she smiled at the Gryffindor table and sat next to young-Dumbledore as the table clapped.
"Black, Sirius." There was another loud crack and a very handsome man with black hair and black eyes grinned at the Gryffindor table. Hermione looked over at Harry who appeared to be in shock. After all Sirius had died two years ago. Hermione put her hand on his shoulder and looked at him questioningly, Harry smiled and shook his head clapping just as loud -if not louder- than most as Sirius sat down.
"Evans, Lily." Another loud crack and a exceptionally pretty girl with thick deep red hair and bright almond shaped green eyes smiled kindly at them all. Harry looked ready to faint but never the less clapped as his mother sat down next to Sirius who hugged her in congratulations. Dumbledore turned his attention to the final piece of parchment.
"Granger, Hermione." Hermione gasped and was jerked to her feet by Harry and Ron who were clapping enthusiastically. Hermione felt her cheeks glow pink and sat back down.
"Congratulations Gryffindor house those are your representatives! The representatives will be attending classes with you as well." Dumbledore added before turning his attention to the Hufflepuff goblet. The two houses five representatives appeared in similar fashions as the others. Dumbledore smiled happily at each house but when he reached Slytherins goblet he became slightly hesitant with each piece of parchment he pulled.
"Zabini, Lucado." Came first.
"Baddock, Fernando." Came second
"Malfoy, Draco." The Slytherins all cheered as the handsome Slytherin Head Boy stood and smirked at them all. The Slytherins cheering took quite some time to calm down and in which Hermione talked with her friends.
"Malfoy? How did that idiot get elected a champion? His father couldn't buy him that." Ron whispered and Ginny giggled.
"Ron, not only does Malfoy have the second highest grades in the school, but he's. . . quite good looking also." Ginny said blushing.
"You think Malfoy is *cute*!" Ron said raising his voice as Dumbledore took the fourth piece of parchment out of the goblet.
"Delanuit, Angelique." With a loud crack a very pretty Slytherin girl with thick black hair, warm honey skin, and bright violet eyes smiled arrogantly at everyone and blew them all a kiss. She did not sit down however she remained standing.
"Ms. Delanuit why don't you sit down?" Dumbledore asked
"Just waiting for my partner in crime professor." The girl said smiling knowingly.
"You seem awfully confident that he will be chosen." Dumbledore said staring at the final piece of parchment apprehension in his eyes.
"I'd bet my life on it." The girl said staring at the piece of parchment as well. Dumbledore picked it up and sorrow filled his eyes.
"Riddle, Tom."

(A/N: I had intended to end the chapter right there but I decided to be nice : ) and not just leave you hanging like that, thank me by leaving a review)
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
With a loud crack a very handsome young man with black hair, pale skin, and deep blue eyes smirked at them all. Harry gripped his wand and Ginny shook with fear. Ron and Hermione looked at each other they both knew who it was.
"Voldemort." Harry whispered nobody else knew that the handsome young man was in fact the young Dark Lord. Tom Riddle -aka Lord Voldemort, Snake face, etc.- walked over to the Slytherins table and hugged the girl who had come before him and they both turned to face the great hall.
"I personally support inter-house relations. . .but Slytherin is going to kick you asses!" The girl said brightly Tom Riddle smirked and nodded he raised his wand. Harry almost stood and cursed him, half expecting him to shoot the Dark Mark up into the air. Instead the Slytherin symbol was suspended in air as if made of bright green and silver stars. Several of the Slytherins clapped and cheered even louder. Draco Malfoy stood and shook their hands a smirk plastered on his features.
"Welcome to Slytherin. . .again." He added and they all sat down. Dumbledore forced a smile but his eyes were sad.
"Let the feast begin!" Dumbledore shouted and everyone was lost in talk and food. Except for Harry who was glaring at Tom Riddle with pure loathing.
"Do you suppose that girl is his girlfriend?" He asked
"No." They all turned to Ginny, "No she isn't that's Angel Delanuit he told me about her, he told me she was his one and only friend she's a strong witch and Slytherin to the core. She was his first Death Eater." Hermiones eyes widened as she looked at the girl who was chatting lazily with Draco Malfoy who was staring at her intently talking with her as if she were the only one in the room. Tom Riddle was both joining in on the conversation and looking around. His eyes met with Hermiones for a moment and they held each others gaze. She gave him an unsure smile, which he returned before resuming his attention to his friend.
"What else Gin?" Harry asked Ginny shook her head.
"The only other thing I know is that she's behind him in classes by a few points and they help each other out, what one lacks the other has, they're an unbeatable team." Ginny said
"Wonder what happened to her." Ron said
"She was killed in the first war." Hermione said immediately remembering the name from her texts.
"How?"
"She killed herself, the Aurors were about to capture her for information and she took her own life." Hermione said
"That's stupid, he really has his followers that afraid of him-" Harry began when Ginny cut him off.
"No she's that loyal to him, she'd die for him with out hesitation that's why she did it. . . I think he'd do the same for her if he was put in the position. . .at least when he was younger." Ginny added thinking that Voldemort would just use brute force to protect her as he gained power.
"I can't see Voldemort doing that." Harry said shaking his head, "All he cares about is himself."
"No. Harry. . .I just realized something. . .he's not Voldemort. . ." They stared at Hermione as if she was crazy and she quickly explained, "I mean he is but he hasn't really killed anyone."
"Myrtle Hermione he killed Myrtle." Ron reminded her Hermione shook her head.
"That was an accident Myrtle looked out at the wrong time, so he isn't really Voldemort yet he hasn't. . .gone all. . .snake. . .like." She finished lamely Ginny shook her head at her friend.
"It's his charm that's how he got so many people to believe him innocent for the chamber incident when Dumbledore confronted him Hermione. It's how. . .how I kind of think he's like Malfoy." The trio stared at her, "Look at them. They're both handsome, both arrogant, both powerful, intelligent, and both Slytherins they several things in common Hermione. . .now Malfoy is a git for sure but I'm betting you that if he decided to smile and be charming. . . there wouldn't be a girl in this whole school who wouldn't be falling for him and half the school already is!" Ginny said.
"We can figure this out later. . ." Harry muttered as the feast ended and Dumbledore stood again.
"Would all Hogwarts Champions please follow me." The champions stood and followed Dumbledore out of the hall.
