CARMEN POV

Suddenly a death eater appeared.

"Oooooo what do we have here?" The death eater said in a creepy voice. Sounded like a man.

"Crucio!" He shouted pointing his wand at her.

I ducked just in time and ran the other way. "HARRY WHERE ARE YOU!" I said running deeper into the forest.

"Carmen?!" A familiar voice said.

"HARRY THANK GOODNESS I FOUND YOU!" I said embracing my brother.

"Where are the others?" I asked when I noticed Hermoine and Ron weren't with him.

"I don't know. I lost them around the corner."

"I FOUND THEM THE POTTERS!" Another death eater(it sounded like a woman this time) appeared and shouted to the others when she spotted us.

I grabbed Harry's hand and ran away dragging him along.

"(Pant)...are...(pant)...you okay?...(Pant)" I said to him when we stopped to catch our breath.

"I-I th-think?" He stuttered.

"HARRY CARMEN!!"

Ron and Hermoine ran to us.

"Where were you?" Hermoine said.

"We thought we lost you mates!" Ron said before shouting "what is that?"

He pointed to the sky. There was a mark. Voldemort's mark.

"STUPIFY!" A bunch of people pointed their wands at us.

"STOP! THATS MY SON!" Arthur Weasley ran to us.

"Ron, Harry, Hermoine, Carmen! Are you alright!" He asked us.

Barty crouch senior approached us and said accusingly "which of you conjured it? You've been found at the scene of the crime!"

"Barty their just kids!"

But crouch ignored him "well which of you conjured the mark?"

"What mark?" My brother asked.

"It's Voldemort's mark, Harry!" I heard Hermoine whispered.

Then Harry piped up "well I saw a man! He was standing over there!"

Barty crouch and a few other ministry people went the the place where Harry pointed.

"C'mon kids, it's not safe out here!" Arthur Weasley said.

"Is it safe anywhere?" I muttered.

1 MONTH LATER*

"Bye kids have fun at Hogwarts! This year is going to be an exciting one!" Molly said. "I'm so glad they decided to change the rules!"

"I wish I'm going back on that train this year! You guys are so lucky!" Percy said wistfully.

"Why? What's going to happen this year?" Ron asked.

"You'll see!" Charlie Weasley said "you'll see us sooner than you think.

Then they left us to board the train.

"What did you think they were talking about?" Hermoine asked us.

"I don't know but I have a feeling we will know soon." I said as I entered an empty compartment.

"Anything from the trolly?" The trolly witch asked us.

Me and Harry went over while Ron took some candy and sat back down next to Hermoine who was reading the news.

"Two pumpkin pastries please." Someone said from behind us.

I turned and found cho Chang and some of her friends.

I saw Harry gawping at her. I rolled my eyes.

"Hi Carmen." She said with a tight smile. When her eyes wandered to Harry, she blushed a bit then left.

"Anything for you dears?" The trolly witch asked.

Harry shook his head and sat back down while I took some chocolate frogs.

AT THE GREAT HALL*

"Ahhhh it's nice to be back!" I sighed when I saw the great hall.

"Isn't that what you said at the burrow sis?" Harry asked me smirking.

"And at Diagon Alley?" Ron said with a cheeky grin.

"And at London?" Hermoine asked giggling.

"Okay okay, so I'm optimistic, what's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Everything!" Hannah abbot(Hufflepuff), Astoria Greengrass(Slytherin), Seamus finnigan (Gryffindor) and Anthony Goldstein(Ravenclaw) said when they approached us.

"Hmph, I didn't teach you to be rude just so you could be rude to me did I?" I joked to my friends.

"Nope, we learnt on our own! Proud Carm?" Astoria said giggling.

"Hmmmm, I'm proud alright! I'm proud you for not calling me carmie for once!" I said while smirking.

"Is that so? Well I am the queen of progressing carmiemie!" Hannah said.

I pretended to glare at her. "What? I said carmiemie not carmie." Hannah said innocently.

"hey carmen!" A familiar voice piped up.

I saw Cedric waving at me.

"Ooooo carmie, whose that hottie over there?" Astoria asked smirking.

"OMG CARMEN! Is that Cedric Diggory?" Hannah asked.

"Since when did you get a boyfriend?" Seamus teased me.

"He's not my boyfriend! I just met him like a few weeks ago!" I protested.

"A few weeks and love already blossomed." Anthony grinned.

"Ugh you guys are so annoying!" I complained.

"That what you say everyday carmiemie!" Hannah said while laughing as we went to our respective seats.

"Hello students! Welcome back for another year!" Professor Dumbledore shouted. "Now this year I'm sorry to say that the house cup would not take place..."

Gasps filled the hall.

"WHAT!" Me and Harry said at the same time.

"Yes, Yes all of you heard me right. But! There will be something even more exciting taking place. The TRIWIZARDS TOURNAMENT!" He continued.

"YOUR JOKING!" Fred Weasley said.

"No I'm not mr Weasley." Dumbledore grinned and before he continued "the triwizards tournament is magical contest held between the three largest wizarding schools of Europe: , , and , each school being represented by one Champion. Selected Champions compete in three tasks — traditionally judged by the Headmasters or Headmistresses of the competing schools — designed to test magical ability, intelligence, and courage. Champions competed for the honour and glory of winning the Tournament, for the , and a monetary prize. But only students that are 17 or older are allowed to compe-

"THATS RUBBISH!" Fred and George kept on saying along with a many disapproving and disappointed grunts.

But Dumbledore ignored all of them and continued "Now May I present you the 2 other schools that will be joining us!"
