"Something is definitely not right here," Hermione said, pacing around the common room. "Fiore magic was banned until only recently, a person assumed dead is miraculously alive, and on top of that, five random transfer students decide to come here. What next? Professor Moody is a double-crosser?"

"Don't jinx it," Ron mumbled.

"But I'm sure Dumbledore and the Ministry know what their doing, right?" Harry asked.
"No, Harry. Dumbledore is too busy discussing the matters about the Triwizard Tournament. And the last time Fudge ever got himself with Hogwarts was with Sirius, and now he is overconfident that Hogwarts can handle itself."
"Then what about Fiore?" Ron asked. "They should be worried about it too, don't you think?"
Hermione shook her head. "Hogwarts' reputation is well-known; they probably agree with Fudge that everything is safe. Unless it ends up causing a threat to the Magic Counsil, I highly doubt this will be enough to convince them to take action."

"Still... it doesn't make sense."
"Should we ask Lucy and the others about what they know?" Ron thought out loud.

"I don't know..." Hermione stretched, pulling her arms over her head, before looking back down tiredly at the others.

"We'll just have to wait until tomorrow's drawing."

"The moment you've been waiting for!"

Natsu squirmed achingly in his seat. This was it. Judgement day. Who will get the Fairy Tail seat in the competition? He hadn't slept at all that night, tossing and turning in his bed. But once he got his answer, he could be in peace.
Lucy sat next to him. Honestly, she didn't seem to care. She knew she was probably the least likely to get pixked, although she was anxious to find out who would make it.

Almost everyone had decided to attend. Except for the sissies who were too scared and tensed up to watch, of course. The different schools had separated themselves; Durmstrangs to the far right, Hogwarts next to them, Fairy Tail right after, and Beauxbatons' claiming the left.
The lights dimmed. No doubt to add affect. The mumbling and silent conversations buzzed excitedly. This was it.

The First Battle had started.

Dumbledore stepped towards the Goblet of Fire, his hand oh-so-slowly drawing ever closer to the blue flames dancing on the edges of the cup.

Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours. Natsu was almost out of his seat. He had begun to sweat. Lucy hissed at Natsu to calm down, but to no avail. Shivering madly and all the warmth suddenly leaving his body, he was about to fall to the floor, his muscles tensed and his body fought the urge to jump up and shout at the headmaster to hurry up-

The fire erupted into a huge bonfire. It was so sudden, so surprising that students leaped at least a foot into the air. Then, as suddenly as it came- it vanished. The fire subsided, only staying near the rim of the cup now. All that was left was a piece of charred, tattered paper.
It flew, swishing madly like a freshly plucked feather, until it rested in the middle of the old wizard's palm. He lifted it up with two of his fingers now, showing off the answer.
His eyes fell onto the paper, flickering back at the crowd before looking back down.

"Juvia Lockser!"
A small applause exploded throughout the girls. The blue haired transfer student slowly made her way down, pausing before the Headmaster before blushing, led away by a couple of teachers.

Again, the same process. Natsu heating up again-the explosion of fire-the exclamation by the surprise of the flames-the parchment falling down-the tense air filled to the brim-

"Viktor Krum!"

He received a few swoons from the ladies as he followed Juvia's path.

Now, it was Hogwarts' turn.

"Jellal Fernandez."

The air was mysterious as he made his way front. Erza went into pale shock again. She soon recovered after the last piece of paper floated into the Headmaster's hand.

Everything was quiet. It was obvious who Fairy Tail Academy had already betted on. The others who had put their name In were pretty sure they wouldn't stand a chance. They were completely sure it would be Erz-

"Natsu Dragneel!"

Nothing happened. First came shock. Then realization. Then a little bit of disappointment.
Then a huge applause.
Natsu jumped at least fifty feet into the air. He accepted the encouragement and applause with joy, grinning broadly as he rejoiced with his friends. Then-without even thinking-he threw his arms around Lucy.

The cheering crowd was to busy to notice. It looked normal-except whenever they made it awkward. Lucy's face turned bright pink, Natsu's words failing him as he pulled her out of the embrace. Both stood awkwardly, not even looking at each other.
He mumbled a small sorry, then leaped towards the other staff teachers.

But just as he was about to step outside the door, the gasps from the students stopped him mid-step.

Another piece of burned paper now lay in the utterly shocked Dumbledore's hands.
He mumbled the name. A soft whisper, although loud enough to be heard by the entire room.

"Harry Potter."

Alright. Short chapter. Which is exactly why I'll will definitely have the next chapter by Wednesday. Kkz? 3

Some of the plotline might mix. Insanely. So if 2 things happen that are completely unrelated, I couldn't figure out where to put it.
Alright, now to you guys. I really don't know what to say. The contest went into a three way tie. Then 2. Lucy or Natsu? Lucy or Natsu? My head was spinning insanely, and I really had no idea what the hell I was supposed to do and so I went with the classic eeny-meeny thing.
I know. Stupid right?
I feel bad making excuses for those who wanted Erza, Gray, or Lucy, but the way things are going Lucy would get more screen time than anybody else even without her in the games. And Erza and Gray... thing is, if you have two not-as-important-as-Natsu-and-Lucy-in-the-plot characters as the lucky one in, it wouldn't be as exciting. I understand that Gray and Erza's can't even be scratched by Natsu, but to me what mattered most was the will to be in. But I will make up for it by giving Gray and Erza some more of their fair share on set. I don't know... please understand my decision. I hope this won't get me into crap.
Oh! And remember I mentioned there will be 4 tasks instead of three? Well, it's my own free will with that one... so if you guys want to give some ideas as to what to do, I will happily take your ideas into consideration. Who knows? Maybe I could get some Erza and Gray action in... hmmm...

Well chao for now, monsieurs madamoiselles! And no, I am NOT French. My brother speaks, though! XD
