Chapter 7 BEAUXBATONS, DURMSTRANG AND THE GOBLET

'All students please come outside for the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang!' Says professor McGonagall loudly over the crowd.

The entire school assembled out the front of the school.

'How do you reckon they're getting here? The train?' Asks Harry.

'I doubt it,' I say to him. 'Maybe by broom?' Just then our question was answered by a flying house. Not litterly. The carriage is the size of a house and pale blue, being drawn through the sky by horses with wings the size of elephants.

It landed neatly and a massive lady stepped out! She is as tall as Hagrid, and he's half giant! She is followed by ten or so students. She walks up to Dumbledore and starts a conversation.

'Look at the lake!' Yelled a firth year Gryffindor boy.

I looked and saw a whirlpool in the centre of the water growing larger and larger. A few seconds later a pirate ship emerged from rite out of the whirlpool itself! It came to shore quickly and tall thin man hopped off, followed by ten buff students.

'Come Victor I hear the headmaster calling' The group walk up to the castle swiftly.

'Victor? As in Victor Krum!' Asked Ron excitedly.

'Who's Victor Krum?' I ask.

'One of the best Quidditch players in the world!' He answered.

All three school entered the Grand Hall. 'Please welcome Madame Maxine and the Beauxbatons,' Says Dumbledore. 'and Karkaroff and The Durmstrangs.' There was tons and tons of applause. The headmasters from the schools sat at the staff table and the students are scattered around the different tables.

'The moment has come, the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!' Two important looking men enter the hall and take seats at the staff table.

'I would like to say a few words of explanation before we bring in the casket. Just to clarify the procedure we will be following this year. Firstly let me introduce, for those of you who do not know them, Mr Bartemius Crouch, Head of the Department of International Magical Co-operation. And Mr Ludo Bagman, head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

Mr Bagman and Mr Crouch have worked tirelessly over the last few months on the arrangements for the Triwizard Tournament. They will be joining myself, Karkaroff and Madame Maxine to judge the champions' efforts'. The champions from each school will be selected by The Goblet of Fire.'

Filch carries a beautiful golden chest with rubies and gems all over it into the middle of the room and places it down. Dumbledore taps it three times with his wand and the lid opens. From inside a bird bath shaped cylinder unfolds. Dumbledore taps it again and the bird bath fills with flickering flames.

'If you wish to compete, write your name and school on a piece of paper and place it into the flames. The Goblet will be placed in the entrance hall for twenty four hours and the champions will be selected tomorrow night, Halloween. There will be an age line around The Goblet so anyone under seventeen won't be able to enter their names.'

-TIME SKIP-

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I are sitting in the entrance hall watching people from Hogwarts placing their names in the goblet.

Fred and George walk in to the hall looking very happy.

'What are you guys so happy about?' I ask Fred and George suspiciously.

'Aging potion!' Says Fred excitedly

'one drop each,' he says turning to George. 'We only need to be a few months older.'

'It's not going to work.' Says Hermione.

'What makes you say that?' Asks George.

'Dumbledore would have thought of this, he's not stupid.' Replies Hermione.

Fred and George ignore her and have a drop of potion each.

'I'll go first..' Says Fred taking a piece of paper out of his pocket which has 'Fred Weasley, Hogwarts' written on it. He walks to the edge of the age line, takes a breath and steps into it. Nothing happens, so George steps in too. They both have huge smiles on their faces.

They walk to the goblet and place both of their names in. They turn and high five each other and the entire room bursts into applause.

'What were you saying Hermione?' Asks George. Hermione gives him a small knowing smile.

There is a hissing noise then a pop! The pieces of paper that the twins put in the goblet fly out and hit them in the faces. There is another pop and Fred and George are thrown out of the age line. They landed about ten feet away on a suit of armour, which buried them.

Their two heads slowly emerge from the armour and now I can't stop laughing. George has a long white beard and Fred has a knights helmet on his head. He takes it off and I realise he has a beard too!

Then the door opens and Dumbledore is standing there with a smile on his face.

'I suggest that you go see Madam Pomfrey. She is tending to two other students who decided to age themselves a little, but I must say, their beards are nothing compared to yours.' He says happily.

Fred and George left and the night continued. More and more people put their names in the cup. It's after ten when Harry, Ron, Hermione and I decide to do to bed.
