Harry heard a voice that boomed across the whole stadium and he recognized it as Ludo Bagmans. "Welcome Wizards and Witches to the 4th annual World Wizards and Witches Dueling Competition!

"Wow thats alot of money you could of won Fred and George" said Harry.

Then Bagman's voice came again. "Introducing our hometown representative who beat out George Weasley to come here..Lesley McKenna!"

The crowd erupted with applause for Lesley McKenna. "She wll be using a 8'3/4" redwood wand with a phoenix feather!" Bagman announced.

"We talked to her earlier she seems like a really nice person" said Harry.

"Next up I would like to introduce from Italy! Fiorenza Erdely who was born in the US but now lives in Italy, he will be using a 10" holly wand with a pegasus feather" bellowed Bagman. The Italian crowd erupted with cheering but everyone else just clapped. The Italian had short messy strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes and he was quite tall. "Next from Germany..Ginger Louise Brown! Who will be using a 8'1/2' cocoa tree wand with a dragon heartstring!" screamed Bagman and the German crowd went wild. Harry, Ron, Hermion and Ginny had met her earlier. "From France...Cygnus Lyra White who will be using an 11' driftwood wand with a puffskein wool!" Bagman screamed again. The French girl had long whitish blonde hair and misty grey eyes. "Next from Bulgaria and no its not Viktor Krum but he is his cousin..Alexsander Dackaroff who will be using a 9'1/2' redwood wand with a phoenix feather" bellowed Bagman. When he walked out Harry remembered him being the guy they saw earlier and he did look almost identical to Krum.

"I think maybe hes lying and is really Krum in disguise" said Ron.

"Dont be stupid Ron why would he disguise him self" answered Hermione.

"I dunno" said Ron.

"Next all the way from the United States of America...Tabba who will bve using a 10' willow wand with a unicorn hair" yelled Bagman. The American had chestnut brown hair and bluish grey eyes. "And the United States neighbour from Canada...Sport Caley Walker! Who will be using a 12'3/4' pine wand with a house-elf hair" hollered Bagman. The Canadian didnt have a huge crowd but they made themselves heard as they were a crazy bunch of people.

"Wow those Candians are letting people know who they are" said Harry.

"Also all the way from Australia...Starshine who will be using a 6' unicorn hair" Bagman yelled. She had blonde hair with red highlights and eyes that changed colour. "And from Sweden...Crystal Vega Libra Netra who will be using a 9' rosewood wand with a fwooper feathercore" Bagman screamed. Harry and the others had seen her when they were walking earlier shes the one that had the flag on her site.
