The doors opened, welcoming us into the school. We sauntered in, as we entered the Great Hall the booming voice of Professor Dumbledore told us all to take our seats. Lena, Tancred, and I sat down in the middle of the Ravenclaw table. We greeted the rest of the house. Dumbledore's voice once again boomed over the noise asking for silence. The chatter ceased. Dumbledore than began his speech that he gave at the beginning of every year. I looked across the room and saw Harry Potter with his arms crossed looking incredibly bored, typical. I didn't understand what people saw in the nasty snob. My eyes shifted and saw Fred and George grinning and waving at me, I smiled and waved back. After the sorting was finished and all the first years were in their new houses, Professor Mugonagole's voice rose saying "let the feast begin." Plates and plates of delicious foods appeared in front of us. I grabbed 3 spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, and some other assorted foods. Soon the main course began to disappear and the dessert plates came. I grabbed cake and cookies and pie. Yum! After tons of food I stopped feeling sick to my stomach.
Professor Dumbledore spoke again, "This year Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard tournament." Murmurs of excitement filled the great hall. "Students 16 and older may participate. Our school is gladly excepting Durmstrang and Beubatrux into our home for the time being." Darn I thought I wont be 16 for another month. "Now let me introduce the lovely ladies of Beubatrux." The giant doors opened and about 30 teenage girls came in all wearing purple uniforms and spiffy little hats. They were no doubt beautiful. It seemed like every boy in the room jaw dropped and stared. I rolled my eyes I was certainly not jealous. After the girls came their giant headmistress, and when I say giant I mean GIANT came in! "Thank you ladies." Dumbledore said. The girls curtsied and moved to a table at the left. "Next I would like to introduce the sons of Durmstrang." The doors once again boomed open. 40 young men came marching in all wearing fur and heavy clothing. They were extremely hot not talking about temperature. They all did little flippy things. Soon after them came their headmaster a weird old guy with a turban, and I couldn't believe my eyes, was it truly the Viktor Krum. Shouts swooped over the room "VIKTOR KRUM!" All eyes turned to Dumbledore once again.
"Welcome to Hogwarts each and every one of you." Dumbledore said. "This is the Goblet of Fire," he said pulling a blanket off a wooden cup. "Students 16 and older can write their name on a piece of parchment and drop it into the flames, like so." The Professor said dropping a blank piece of paper into the goblet it flamed and sparked. Awes filled room. "Now students you may return to your houses Beubatrux will be staying with Hufflepuff and Drumstrang will be with the Ravenclaw house. Students may start putting their names in the gobbet tomorrow at sunrise. Have a nice night I'm sure you all will have plenty to talk about."
