Hey guys!

Okay this chapter is a bit short but i couldn't really write anymore before i got your opinions.

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE!

I can't decide whether or not the exorcists should take part in the Triwizard torunament or not. It would be pretty funny if they did but it isn't really to do with their mission.

And if they did take part who should be their champion, its usually Allen but it doesn't have to be him.

What do you guys think?

Any way hope you enjoy this new chapter, sorry not much happens except taking the piss out of wizards, which is always fun. Enjoy!

"What's all the commotion?" asked Allen trying to peer over the crowd. They'd just entered the common room to find everyone gathered around the notice board talking excitedly. Ron stood on tiptoe and read the notice.

TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT.

The delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving at 6 o'clock on Friday 30th of October.

Lessons will end half an hour early. Students will return their bags and books to their dormitories and assemble in front of the castle to greet our guests before the Welcoming Feast.

"Brilliant!" exclaimed Harry. "We have Snape on Friday, he can't poison us now!" Allen sighed with relief.

"Thank god for that," he mumbled collapsing onto the nearest armchair. "I could just imagine it going horribly wrong and me creating a toxin gas or something that poisoned everyone." Yana raised an eyebrow.

"I think you've been spending too much time with Lavi," she said. "You're getting way too melodramatic." The other exorcists came to join them and put their heads together.

"So what is this Triwizard tournament thing?" asked Lavi. "I mean it got mentioned at the start of the year but they'd didn't really explain."

"I went and asked Professor Dumbledore," said Lenalee. "He says it's a tournament held between three school who each have a 'champion' and they compete against each other in three tasks. It's suppose to promote international cooperation or something." Kanda snorted.

"What ever it doesn't have anything to do with our mission," he said. Lavi looked really excited though and was bouncing around in his chair.

"But Yuu! Don't you think it sounds cool? I bet we could do it no problem!" he exclaimed. Kanda scowled and shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with us," he repeated. "We're here to find the Innocence, not take part in some childish competition." The other four pulled faces at him.

"Sour pus," complained Yana pouting.

The reminder of the Triwizard tournament seemed to bring about a buzz to the school and it was all anyone would talk about. There were rumours flying everywhere about who the Hogwart's champion would be and what the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons would be like.

Lenalee had also pointed out with some amusement that the castle was undergoing an extreme cleaning, the suites of armour glistened so much that Yana had complained and tried to get away with wearing shades since her eyes were more sensitive, it didn't quite work out wearing them all the time so she just wore them when walking past a suite of armour.

Even the painting had all been cleaned, none of their inhabitants seemed to be very pleased with this and sat muttering darkly in their frames with raw red faces. The caretaker Filch was absolutely horrible to anyone who forgot to wipe their shoes but he left the exorcists alone after making the mistake of trying to have a go at Kanda one day after he came in from practicing with Mugen. Needless to say Filch was threatened quite colourfully and kept well clear of all the exorcists after that.

Oddly enough all the teachers seemed quite tense too and kept pushing them to get better at their spell work or not to try show off in front of the foreign students. The exorcists were just glad that they'd all taken classes that didn't require a wand since they couldn't actually use magic.

The Great Hall looked magnificent though when they went down on the 30th of October as it had been decorated during the night. Huge silk banners hung from the walls each bearing a different house, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin and then the Hogwarts coat of arms was hanging behind the staff table. Yana snorted as they sat down at the table next to the Weasley twins.

"I bet Master is loving this," she grumbled. "He's probably hoping that one of the new Head teachers is some young beautiful woman as well."

They did their best to ignore Hermione who was ranting on about the oppression of house elves again a few seats away, they'd all flat out refused to join S.P.E.W. resulting in her not talking to them for a few days and Harry and Ron wishing that they had their guts to refuse because she was just a bit obsessive about the subject.

Luckily her ranting was cut off by the arrival of the post, hundreds of owls flying into the hall had been a bit of a shock the first time they seen it but they'd soon got used to it and now all they had to do was make sure Timcanpy kept hidden so he wouldn't be mistaken for one of those snitches that was used in quidditch.

Unfortunately he was the only golem that seemed to work within Hogwarts as Kanda's golem had short-circuited on their arrival and since Timcanpy was staying with Cross to remain hidden it meant they had to go find him every time they wanted to send a message to head quarters which was a pain especially when Cross kept wandering off to Hogsmead to drink in the pub there.

That day seemed tense with anticipation, everyone couldn't wait until the other schools arrived and it showed in class, no one could concentrate and the exorcists were just grateful that they were never given any homework since they wouldn't be taking any exams at the end of the year. It was with great excitement that everyone left class early and went to drop off their bags in the common room before rushing back outside to the front of the castle to greet the other schools.

"Over here brats," called Cross. He, Miranda and Krory were standing slightly apart from the Hogwarts staff. Yana stared at him reprovingly until he sighed and stubbed out his cigarette.

"Why are we standing separately?" asked Lenalee curiously ignoring a struggling Allen who was trying to get Lavi to stop resting his chin on top of his head.

"We aren't from Hogwarts even though we're 'transfer students' for the year," Cross explained. "So we're going to stand together and not mix so that the other schools know that."

"Why?" asked Kanda bluntly. "Surely we don't want to stand out." Cross just shrugged.

"Well we're doing things my way since I'm the only General here," he said. "Now get your butts in line and wait like good little kids."

They all scowled at him and Allen sighed heavily as he gave up trying to make Lavi move, he wasn't budging and Allen had to admit at least he was warmer with Lavi standing that close to him. Luckily they didn't have to wait long before a sixth year cried out pointing out towards the forest.

They watched with awe as a huge blue horse drawn carriage hurtled towards them over the tops of the trees being drawn by a dozen gigantic horses, everyone drew back as it came in to land with a crash. Lavi gulped nervously.

"I wouldn't want to get trampled by one of them," he said. "You'd get squashed into a pancake!"

The other exorcists nodded warily and eyed them nervously as they tossed their heads and rolled their large red eyes. Yana squealed quietly and clapped her hands excitedly.

"Oh I want to ride one!" she exclaimed.

The others all sweat dropped, typical that Yana would say something like that, she seemed to have a thing for dangerous animals it was probably why she got along so well with Hagrid and was the only one that actually looked forward to his lessons.

They all watched the carriage as the door opened and out walked the biggest woman ever! Miranda and Lenalee squeaked in surprise as she stepped out in shoes big enough for a couple of people to sit in, she was about as big as Hagrid which was saying a lot since they'd never seen anyone that big other than him.

Dumbledore started clapping and introduced her as Madame Maxine before allowing her and her students to enter the castle to get in out of the cold, as their uniforms were not suited for the temperature.

"So will you try your luck with her, Master?" sniggered Yana. "I'd pay to see you try." Cross snorted and folded his arms sulking before lighting up another cigarette.

"Can't find a decent woman anywhere here," he mumbled before looking at the Beauxbatons students thoughtfully. "Although some of her students aren't bad looking." Miranda and Lenalee stared at him scandalised while Cross watched one of the female students walk past, she had long blonde hair and was very beautiful.

"Dumbledore said Hagrid would tend to her horses," said Yana thoughtfully. "I wonder if he'll let me help?" Allen rolled his eyes and grabbed hold of her hand tightly to prevent her from going anywhere.

"You aren't going anywhere near those horses," he told her sternly. "You'll end up in trouble, you always do." She stuck her tongue out at him and joined everyone else in looking for the Durmstrang students.

Suddenly Kanda turned towards the lake catching their attention, they listened to try work out what he'd heard until they heard a sucking sound. It was then that other students noticed the noise and started pointing towards the lake as well.

Seeing a huge skeletal ship rise out of the lake had to be one of the most bizarre things they'd seen since coming to Hogwarts. Kanda sneered as people started disembarking from the ship onto dry land.

"What is this?" he said. "A contest to see who can travel in the weirdest way?" Allen snorted.

"Maybe we should have used the Ark to get here," he suggested. "That would have put us in the competition as well." Lavi hugged Allen tighter from behind and grinned happily.

"Yay! Then we could have listened to Allen play the piano again!" Allen blushed embarrassed and stared at the ground.

"I don't know why you get so excited about it," he mumbled. "I can only play the one song."

"But you play it so beautifully!" They heard the new Headmaster introduced as Karkaroff and all his students were dressed in thick heavy furs.

"Not a single girl amongst them," grumbled Cross. "What sort of school has no girl?"

No one had time to comment on this as half of the Hogwarts students worked themselves into a frenzy, apparently one of the Durmstrang students was a famous international quidditch player and that sent them into squealing fan girl mode, even some of the boys.

"Now that's just creepy," said Lavi with a shuddered gripping Allen tighter.

"Lavi I can't breath!" he choked out. "Loosen up!"

Lenalee watched with disgust as a group of girls walked past them squealing about getting Krum's autograph as everyone walked back in to the Great Hall.

"I could understand maybe if he was famous for something important," she said. "But he's a sports player! It's not like he's going to change the world."

The exorcists were quite relieved when the Durmstrang lot sat down at the Slytherin table on the other side of the Hall, they really couldn't have dealt with all the fan girls if they'd sat at the Gryffindor table. Cross, Miranda and Krory went and sat at the staff table and ignored practically everyone as the food appeared and started eating.

"If we're involved in this now I'm going to kill Komui," growled Kanda picking at the food on his plate.

The other four nodded, this Triwizard tournament seemed a lot more hassle than it was worth now.

Yeah sorry its a bit short but i really wanted to know whether you thought the exorcists should be in the tournament before i wrote any more.

So please review and tell me what you think, if you don't review i won't know what you want.

Thanks for reading.
