Ann-Marie, Alec, Crystal and Alicia were on the train to Hogwarts When Harriet Smith (Kirsty's much nicer younger sister in Gryffindor) came in the compartment with news.

"Hey, have you lot heard?" said Harriet

"About what?" asked Alicia

"The Tri-wizard tournament is this year! Apparently Professor Mcgonagall is picking one house and that entire house will go to Beauxbatons for the tournament! I hope she pick's Gryffindor!" and with that Harriet walked of.

"The Tri-Wizard Tournament! Hey wait, Ann, didn't your dad win that last time?" asked Crystal, Ann-Marie nodded

"Wait, that can't be right! He wouldn't have been old enough to then, I thought you had to be seventeen," said Alec

"Yeah, you do, but a death eater put my dad's name in the goblet of fire and he got picked as a champion" said Ann-Marie

"Well, it's my seventeenth birthday next week, maybe I could enter" said Alec

"I wouldn't Alec" said Ann-Marie "It's really dangerous, last year my dad had to face a dragon, breathe underwater for an hour and go through a maze with all sorts of things that could have killed him"

At Hogwarts after they had eaten there meals Professor Mcgonagall announced she had something to say,

"This year two house's will be traveling to Beauxbatons for the tri-wizard tournament, the people going will all must be fourteen or over, anybody under that age or not in the house selected will not be going" all years from first to third were all looking rather disappointed "I will announce the house's going to Beauxbatons which are…" she took out a gold envelope and opened it "Gryffindor and Slytherin!" all the Gryffindor's and Slytherin's cheered. "Now could everybody at age fourteen or over in Gryffindor or Slytherin to their Common rooms immediately and I will be up shortly to inform you about what will be happening" Immediately after Mcgonagall had said finished all Gryffindor's and Slytherin's were pushing and shoving to get to their common room.

Gryffindor waited for about half an hour when Professor Mcgonagall walked in.

"Now, before I start I would like to make one thing clear, you can all go if you are aged fourteen or over, but you cannot enter the tournament unless you are seventeen or will be by the sixth of Steptember, which is next week"

"That's my birthday!" whispered Alec to Ann-Marie

"Now then!" Continued Mcgonagall as she pulled out a large piece of parchment "You will have to be up and ready by ten o'clock because we will be leaving Hogwarts at ten o'clock in the morning and arriving at six o'clock in the afternoon, we will be traveling by train, and at night, it will turn into somewhere for you to sleep, you will need to pack you bags as soon as possible, but leave room for dress robes, which I have informed your parent's to send to you as soon as possible I have told them to wrap the robes, clean, and I will now tell you that they must not be opened till the twenty-third of December, the day before the Yule ball, and I would suggest learning as much French as you can as Beauxbatons is in the south of France, now I will leave you all to discuss this" and with that professor Mcgonagall left the room and the room burst with the sound of people talking excitedly.

"Were going to the tri-wizard tournament!" said Alec picking up Ann-Marie and swinging her in the air like in an old muggle film. He put her down and their foreheads touched, Crystal and Alicia ran over squealing.

"Ok, you lot celebrate, I'm going to write a letter to my parent's" said Ann-Marie kissing Alec and walking of doing her best to get out of the crowd, she arrived in the girls dormitory and sat at the desk next to her bed.

Dear Mum and Dad,

How are you? I'm doing great, so is everyone else, in fact were ecstatic, were going to Beauxbatons for the Tri-Wizard tournament! Well you probably know already as Professor Mcgonagall said that she had written letters to everyone's parents about what was happening and saying we needed dress robes, I'd really love a turquoise dress! Maybe with a sot of Italian style! (Of course I should probably pick something French).

Alec is thinking of entering, I really hope he doesn't, I would be so worried about him, I would stand by him and support him all the way though, but I would be so scared of him getting hurt.

Love

Ann-Marie.

She put the paper in an envelope and went to the owlery to give it to Zarana.
