(Y/N) gasped as she saw a carriage being pulled by flying horses fly down towards the school.

"Well, there's something you don't see everyday," Fred laughed.

A ship came out from under the water, sailing towards the school.

"I wonder why these people are here." (Y/N) said

"Same," Hermione replied.

Everyone was told to go to the Great Hall for dinner, where they would supposedly learn more about their visitors.

"Well, now we're all settled in and sorted I'd like to make an announcement." Dumbledore said, the door to the Great Hall opened while he spoke, revealing Filch. "This castle will not only be your home this year, but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen..."

Filch ran through the Great Hall, whispering something into Dumbledore's ear once he reached where the headmaster was standing.

"So, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore spoke again once Filch ran back out of the Great Hall.

"Brilliant." The twins said in unison.

"For those of you who do not know, the Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school, a single student is selected to complete. Now let me be clear. If chosen, you stand alone. And trust me when I say these contests are not for the faint-hearted. But more of that later. For now, please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic." Dumbledore continued, "and their headmistress, Madame Maxime."

Everyone turned their heads to the door, gasping at the sight of the students. They all wore beautiful silky dresses that were a soft blue colour. They danced gracefully through the hall.

A extremely tall lady followed behind them, she looked like she was taller than Hagrid.

"Blimey. That's one big woman." Seamus said

Everyone clapped as their performance ended, a lot of the girls weren't clapping but (Y/N) was. She was amazed by how beautiful and graceful they looked when dancing.

Dumbledore kissed the headmistress on the hand, before walking to his podium to silence everyone.

"And now our friends from the north. Please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their high master, Igor Karkaroff." Dumbledore announced

A group of boys entered the hall, stomping their staffs on the ground, creating sparks. Some of them started to acrobatics, behind them followed Viktor Krum and Igor Karkaroff.

"Blimey, it's him!" Ron gasped, "Viktor Krum!"

"Albus." Igor greeted Dumbledore, embracing him in a hug.

"Igor." Dumbledore replied

"Professor Dumbledore, my horses have traveled a long way. They will need attending to." Madame Maxime said

"Don't worry, Madame Maxime. Our gatekeeper, Hagrid, is more than capable of seeing to them." Dumbledore replied

Hagrid nodded excitedly.

"But you know, Monsieur Hagrid, they drink only single-malt whiskey." She said

Hagrid nodded, accidentally stabbing his fork into Professor Flitwick's hand. Professor Flitwick screamed in pain, pulling the fork out of his hand, "you idiot!" He exclaimed

"Your attention, please!" Dumbledore shouted

(Y/N) noticed a weird box looking thing was placed where Dumbledore's stand usually would sit.

"I'd like to say a few words. Eternal glory. That is what awaits the student who wins the Triwizard Tournament. But to do this, that student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks." Dumbledore said

"Wicked." The twins muttered

"For this reason the Ministry has seen fit to impose a new rule. To explain all this we have the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation Mr. Bartemius Crouch."

Lightning struck around multiple times, making the charm that was casted on the ceiling to break. Rain started to fall from the sky, people screamed covering themselves trying not to get wet.

A mad with a glass eye pulled out his wand, pointing it at the ceiling. A red beam shot out of his wand, stopping the rain from falling to the ceiling.

Everyone turned to look at him, wondering who he was and why he was there.

"Bloody hell. It's Mad-Eye Moody." Ron said

"Alastor Moody?" Hermione asked

"The Auror?" (Y/N) added

"Auror?" Dean questioned, (Y/N) proceeded to explain to Dean what an Auror was.

"Dark-wizard catcher. Half the cells in Azkaban are filled thanks to him. He's supposed to be mad as a hatter, though, these days." Ron muttered

"Ah! My dear old friend, thanks for coming." Dumbledore smiled, shaking Mad-Eye's hand.

"Stupid ceiling." Mad-Eye replied

He pulled out a flask, chugging down whatever was inside it.

"What's that he's drinking, do you suppose?" Seamus asked

"I don't know, but I don't think it's pumpkin juice." Harry replied

"It's probably whiskey or something, maybe that why people think he's mad as a hatter, because he's always drunk." (Y/N) chuckled softly

"After due consideration the Ministry has concluded that, for their own safety no student under the age of 17 shall be allowed to put forth their name for the Triwizard Tournament. This decision is final." Mr. Crouch said

"That's rubbish!" The twins booed, "you don't know what you're doing!"

Lots of people in the hall, shouted in annoyance, yelling rude things towards the man in front of them.

"Silence!" Dumbledore screamed, he pointed his wand towards the box thing he was standing next to.

The exterior of the box started to dissolve, revealing a huge goblet with a blue flame above it.

"The Goblet of Fire. Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly. If chosen, there's no turning back. As from this moment, the Triwizard Tournament has begun." Dumbledore said

This is just a filler chapter kinda since it's important to the actual story of Harry Potter lol, there will be more drama and fluff in later chapters.

I just want to tell all of you my updating schedule, so you know when to be expecting chapters.

So basically one week I'll be updating twice (that week is this week, but I only updated once since I was rlly busy) and the next week I'll be updating three times.

I like that schedule the most, I normally update on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

Anyway, thank you so much for 1k votes, it means the world to me! I love you all so much.
