One Short Week
Before anyone could imagine it the one week before the beginnings of the new Tri-Wizard Tournament had come. The last day the Hogwarts students would be alone was a blur to Amanda and especially Harry. Amanda also noticed Hermione and Ron were sort of quiet, she also suspected, by the looks between the two that it didn't particularly have to do with the tournament itself. Right before dinner all the students gathered outside to greet the Salem Academy and Durmstrang students as they arrived.
"Hey look. It's the Durmstrang ship." Lavender said, as she and a number of others noticed the familiar shape in the lake. "What are those?" asked Hermione when she looked up into the sky.
"They're people on brooms!" Colin Crevey(?) said excitedly as he raised his infamous camera and took a picture. " We always went to other schools on our brooms. It was easier to deal with." Amanda said.
"The Americans just landed and the Durmstrang students are headed this way." Neville commented. In a matter of moments all the students were greeting each other. Then the American headmaster, Professor Armina, noticed her former student of six years in the Hogwarts crowd.
"Oh, Amanda. Is that you? I missed you round the school. How are you?" Armina greeted the girl with a hug. "I'm doing great. How are things around the Salem Academy?" Amanda asked with a smile.
"Everything is going as well as expected."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione found their way back to Amanda and met Professor Armina.
"It is nice to meet all of you. Amanda look over there. Someone is trying to get your attention." The Professor said to Amanda as she walked over to Professor Dumbledore. Amanda looked over and froze. Oh, no. I should have guessed he'd show his face. I hate him!
