- Lestrange, Lexi! Professor McGonagall shouted, and I instantly looked up. Oh shit. Now they new about my family. Now EVERYONE new about my family. The whole room erupted into gasps and whispers as I slowly walked up to the stool and put the hat on my head.
- Hmm.. Very difficult, very difficult indeed.. Where to put you.. The hat said.
Please Gryffindor, gryffindor, gryffindor. I though in my head. I really didn't now much about the houses, but I wanted to be in the same house as Fred and George.
- Gryffindor? Your mother would've been very disappointed, you know that? But let so be.. GRYFFINDOR! The hat shouted.
The Gryffindor table didn't burst in applause, as when the first years got sorted there. I heard a few people clap their hands, but it was like, 5 persons. I felt really loved, not. At my surprise not even Fred or George clapped their hands, not Harry, Ron, Hermione, Seamus, Lee or Dean either(I had met them on the train), instead they all glared at me. One person that DID clap, was Neville, aw, he's so sweet. I walked down to the Gryffindor table and sat between Neville and a random person. The ''random'' person moved as far away as possible from me, but not switching seat. I had met Neville on the train, too, and he was really nice. I hugged him as I had sat down.
- Hi Neville! I smiled.
- H-hi.. He stuttered.
- Thanks for your support, it means much to me, I really appreciate it. I whispered to him as he blushed. Aw.
- N-no problem. I could tell he was nervous, probably because of my last name. Ugh. Dumbledore started talking again.
- Now when were all settled in after the sorting, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle, wont be only your home this year. But also the very special guest's as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen to host of a event. The triwizard tournament. And for those who do not know, the triwizard tournament brings together three schools for a serious and magical contest. From each school only a single student will be selected to compete. Let me be clear, the chosen will stand alone, and trust me when I say, these contests are not for the fainthearted. But more of that later. And now, please join me welcoming the lovely ladies of the beauxbatons academy of magic, and their headmistress Madame Maxime.
Suddenly a group of girls in blue uniforms walked in, stopped a thew times saying 'Aaah'. And of course all the boys were staring at them. They bowed at the front of the hall as everyone clapped their hands.
- Now our friends from the north, please welcome the institute of Durmstrang and their headmaster Igor Karkaroff!
This time, a group of muscular boys with big 'sticks' that they hit the ground with came. Now all the girls were staring at them, in awe. Behind the group, Viktor Krum came. Oh gosh. I haven't met him in a long time, hope he doesn't recognize me. I though, as I looked back down at the table, but of course he had to notice me.
- Lexi? He asked as I turned around.
- Yes? I was getting a bit nervous, because everyone, and I mean everyone, was staring at us.
- Finally we meet again! He said as he lifted my hand up in the air and kissed it. Now almost everyone started to gasp and whisper again, great. He let go of my hand and started walking again. After that the feast begun, and we all started eating. I glanced at Viktor sometimes, and caught him staring at me, and then he winked.
- May I have your attention please! Dumbledore said.
- I'd like to say a few words. Eternal glory, that's what it waits for the student who wins the triwizard tournament. But to do this, the student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. Also, the ministry has decided that no one under the age of 17 are allowed to participate in the tournament.
Everyone started to groan and complain, and I heard the twins scream 'RUBBISH, THAT'S RUBBISH ' . I wasn't planning on putting my name in the goblet, so I didn't really care.
- SILENCE! Dumbledore shouted, and everyone went quiet. Then he continued.
- The goblet of fire. Anyone who wish to participate in the tournament, will write their name on a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame, before this hour on Thursday. Do not do so lightly, if chosen, there's no turning back. As soon this moment, the triwizard tournament has begun.
Now everyone started walking, still complaining, out of the great hall and towards their dorm.
