Chapter 1: The Triwizard Tournament
8/31/22
OMG tomorrow is SEPTEMBER 1st!!!!!!!! I can't wait! I haven't seen Anthony all summer. We were in America. It was tons of fun. We started in New York (that's where we celebrated my birthday). We saw a show on Broadway, and walked through this giant muggle toy store – muggles come up with the weirdest inventions, like they take flavored sugar and sell it to be eaten plain (it actually is really good), after that we walked all over the place like normally tourists. After New York was Chicago. I loved it, we saw a baseball game at Wrigley Field, and then we went to navy Pier and the Science and Industry Museum. The whole time we were in NY and Chicago we got to act like muggles – mum loved that. Lol. Then we went to Aphenia's parents' house and we meet up with the rest of the family. Hugo, Fred, James, and I pulled so many pranks it was GREAT! I had an awesome summer we got to see the Chudley Cannons play the Boston Blast-Ended Skrewts (an American Team). Cannons won!!! Ron's probably taking them to 4th straight World Cup and hopefully their 3rd strait win. Yay Ron!! Lol. HOGWARTS EXPRESS TOMARROW!!!! G2G – bed

"Lily get up!"
"What? Why?" I shouted to whoever just woke me up from my peaceful sleep.
"Train," James called back.
"Oh right," I replied jumping out of bed. I could here James cracking up in the background. I got dressed, put my dairy and broom into my trunk, and dragged it down the stairs, quietly for the last part 'curse Mrs. Black' (A/N they live in Grimwald Place), I set my stuff down in the hallway and made my way down to the kitchen.
"Lily!" Louise screamed running and jumping into my arms.
"Hey munchkin, what are you doing here?" I said shifting Louise to my hip.
"Mummy's sick," she replied as I grabbed a piece of toast. I looked over to my mum and she dismissed it so I figured it's nothing big.
"I wish I could be here to play with you, but I'm leaving for Hogwarts today."
"Awww, can we play right now?" Luise asked.
"I guess I have a half hour."

"Bye mum, dad" I said kissing them good bye.
"Bye, be good," Mum said looking pointedly at me and James.
"Ya don't blow up a toilet," dad laughed as we got on.
"Bye, Louise," I called to her from the train blowing her a kiss.
"Bye Lily," she screamed as the train started to move.
"Do you know where Anthony or Hugo is?" I asked.
"Why should I know?" James replied.
"I think I saw Rose getting on toward the other end," Albus told me as James walked off toward his friends' carriage.
"'Kay, bye," I called as I took off running down the train. "Oww," I ran into something…someone…"Anthony?!?!?!?!?" I screamed hugging him. "Hey, sorry about that."
"It's okay, I think you murdered my ear drum though," He laughed.
"Who cares about your stupid ear drum, have you seen Hugo?"
"Nope let's go look for him, and I care about my ear drum!"
"This way I just came from there," I told him.
"You were sprinting how on earth would you have seen him?"
"I'm talented, why else would I have run into you, Duh!" I laughed pulling him down the train.

"Uggg, I hate the rain," Hugo shouted once we were in one of the 'horseless' carriages. I then waved my wand in a complicated motion toward the sky.
"Wait, what just happened?"
"I stopped the rain from hitting us, I hope their's blueberry pie at the feast, that was really random," I rambled.
"But you didn't say anything," Anthony pointed out.
"Thanks captain obvious, it's called a nonverbal spell."
"Buts that's way advanced like at least 6th year stuff," Loran said.
"I know."
"So…how'd you learn?"
"James, Fred – well he was more learning than teaching, Molly, Mum, and Hermione – did you guys know she's teaching transfiguration this year?" I said simply.
"Is that what you were doing at Aphenia's parents' place?" Hugo asked.
"Yea."
"Thank God we're here, I'm starved," Loran stated. 'Hey do you know whose teaching defense against the dark art this year?"
"No, but I hope they last the next four years if they're good," I said.
"Yea right!" Hugo and Anthony shouted.
"It could happen, Teddy had a defense teacher that lasted three years," I pointed out.
"It is possible, since Voldemort is dead," Lorna backed me up. "I really do hope they don't have treacle tart at the feast this year, it attracts Nargles." (A/N its Luna's daughter…lol)
"Whatever, I just want to eat," Fred said coming up from behind us.
"Are you ever NOT hungry?" Roxanne asked.
"Not that I know of," several people answered.

"Now that the feast has been enjoyed I would like to give the start of term notices. First years, the forbidden forest is out of bounds to all students, unless there is a teacher present. Mr. Filch wants me to remind you that magic not allowed in the corridors, as well as several other things which are all listed on the very extensive list, which is attached onto his door, now accounting for over 4,000 magical items," there were several laughs at that comment. "If you would like to try out for your House's Quidditch team please inform your head of house so he or she can inform the quidditch captains and they can set up tryouts at their leisure some time during the first two weeks of school. There are a few staffing changes. Professor Weasley will be taking over the post of Transfiguration as well as heading Gryffindor house," McGonagall continued until she was interrupted applause and cheers, Hugo even shouted out "Go Mum!"
"Also," McGonagall said making everyone shut up, "Professor Bell will be taking over Defense against the Dark Arts as well as refereeing quidditch, and Professor Sel will take over History of Magic, now that Professor Binns has agreed to retire. Now you may clap."
I looked at the new teachers, I recognized Professor Bell as one of the members of my dads old school Quidditch Team. Professor Sel was young and blond; honestly she seemed way too young to be allowed to teach here. In fact, I think she was a 6th year Ravenclaw during my 1st year.
"Now for some very exiting news…this year we will be holding the Triwizard Tournament, for those of you who don't know what this is, three students each from one of the three biggest magical schools in Brittan, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang, will competes in 3 dangerous tasks. To win is a huge honor for you and the school and there is a 1,000 Galleon prize. You must be 16 by the time of the first task, November 20th, in order to compete. The other students will be arriving sometime in late October. Now normally there wouldn't be any Quidditch during the Triwizard Tournament, but this year will be different. There won't be a normal tournament but there will be something so for now the tryouts and practices will be just like normal. Now get to bed, classes start tomorrow morning at 8:00"
"So, the Triwizard Tournament…"
"And Quidditch…"
