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

"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.
