the four friends made it off the train and into hogwarts. they made their way to the gryffindor table and angie sat down in between harry and ron.

"now we're all settled in and sorted, i'd like to make an announcement. 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..." dumbledore started, but was interrupted by filch running down the aisle up to him.

filch whispered something in dumbledore's ear and then left.

"so hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. the triwizard tournament. now 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 contestant is selected to compete. 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." dumbledore announced.

angie was certain that nothing good could come from this tournament and she just hoped that none of her friends would enter.

"for now please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the beauxbatons academy of magic and their headmistress madam maxime."

suddenly, the doors opened and a number of girls in pale blue outfits started to dance their way down the aisle. angie looked around at the beauxbatons students and realized that most of them were veelas and that's why all of the guys in the great hall were staring at them. they posed at the front and sat down at the ravenclaw table.

"and now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of durmstrang and the high master igor karkaroff." dumbledore announced and the doors opened once again, this time a number of older guys walk up the aisle with staffs and stabbed them into the ground.

"blimey it's him, viktor krum!" ron exclaimed and angie looked at where he was pointing.

the guys went to sit by the slytherins and food appeared. angie felt uneasy by all of the changes made to hogwarts so far this year so she didn't eat much. the girl looked up from her plate and saw a few men bring out a large box, most likely containing something relating to the tournament.

"your attention please!" dumbledore shouted.

angie focused back onto dumbledore and laid her chin on ron's shoulder for a moment.

"i would 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."

"wicked." the twins said, seemingly entranced by their headmaster's words.

"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 magic cooperation mister bartimus crouch." dumbledore finished.

suddenly, angie flinched and sat up straight when she heard thunder roar above their heads and rain came streaming down. a man angie didn't recognize walked in and cast a spell, making the rain stop.

"bloody hell, it's mad-eye moody." ron said, in shock.

"alastor moody? the auror?" angie asked, trying to make sense of things.

"dark wizard catcher. half the cells in azkaban are full thanks to him. he's supposed to be mad as a hatter though these days." ron explained.

"what's that he's drinking do you suppose?" seamus asked his fellow gryffindors.

"i don't know but i don't think it's pumpkin juice." harry answered.

evangeline was truly scared but she was too afraid to show it. she slipped her hands under the table since she didn't want anyone to see how nervous she was. ron caught a glimpse of her shaking hands and took one of them into his own to help calm her down. angie looked at him and smiled faintly as if to say thank you.

"after much deliberation the ministry has concluded that for their own safety no student under the age of seventeen shall be allowed to put forth their name for the tri-wizard tournament. this decision is final." mr. crouch said to the students.

angie looked around and she noticed that almost everyone was upset, especially the twins. the girl was thankful for the age restriction though because she didn't want any of her closest friends to enter and get hurt.

"that's rubbish! you don't know what you're doing!" george yelled.

"silence!" dumbledore shouted.

dumbledore took his wand and used magic to make the box disappear and a goblet with blue flames was revealed.

"the goblet of fire. anyone wishing to submit themselves for the tournament merely write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on thursday night." dumbledore explained. "do not do so lightly, if chosen there's no turning back. as from this moment the tri-wizard tournament has begun."

—◦★◦—

"alastor moody." the professor said as he wrote his name on the chalkboard. "ministry malcontent. and your new defence against the dark arts teacher. i'm here because dumbledore asked me, end of story, goodbye, the end. any questions? when it comes to the dark arts, i believe in a practical approach. but first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"

"three sir." evangeline answers timidly.

"and they are so named?"

hermione looked over to evangeline, who sat right next to her, and sensed how uncomfortable she was in class so she decided to answer for her. "because they are unforgivable. use of any one of them will..."

"will earn you a one way ticket to azkaban. correct. now the ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. i say different! you need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared, you need to find somewhere else to put your chewing gum other than the underside of your desk mr finnigan!" professor moody said, switching gears seamlessly.

"aw no way, the old codger can see out the back of his head." seamus whispered.

professor moody then threw a piece of chalk at the boy out of anger.

evangeline took out a piece of parchment and started to draw little shapes and things (with her muggle pen that she smuggled into the school) to get her mind off of the class.

"so, which curse shall we see first?" professor moody asked. "weasley!"

"yes..." ron answered shyly.

"give us a curse."

"well, my dad did tell me about one... the imperious curse." ron told him, standing up.

"ahhh yes, your father would know all about that. gave the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. perhaps this will show you why." professor moody said.

the professor opened up a jar with a spider in it and both ron and evangeline gasped. they were not fans of spiders. angie also knew that the poor spider was going to be tortured and she felt awful just sitting there, waiting for it to happen.

suddenly moody turned around and said the curse, the spider moving wherever moody was pointing. the spider landed on crabbes head and most of the class started laughing. next it slid up padma's arm.

"don't worry. completely harmless." moody said, moving the spider above ron's head. but if she bites... she's lethal!"

angie heard draco laugh and she turned around and mouthed a 'fuck you' to the boy.

"what are you laughing at?" moody asked draco and sent the spider his way. the poor spider landed on the boys face which made angie and hermione laugh.

"talented isn't she? what shall i have her do next? jump out the window? drown herself?" he asked, balancing the spider above water. "scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did you-know-whose bidding under the influence of the imperious curse. but here's the rub, how do we sort out the liars? another.. another.. come on come on. longbottom is it? up."

neville stands up and angie quietly gasps. so many thoughts rushed into her brain at that moment. professor moody was going to demonstrate the cruciatus curse right in front of her friend.

"professor sprout tells me you have an aptitude for herbology."

"there's the um... the cruciatus curse." neville said timidly.

"correct! correct! come come. particularly nasty. the torture curse." moody said and instantly began torturing the small creature.

the spider made a noise out of pain and angie leaned her head on the desk, unable to watch the scene in front of her. hermione and professor moody made eye contact after he looked at angie.

"stop it! can't you see it's bothering them, stop it!" she exclaimed, anger coursing through her veins.

theprofessor stopped what he was doing and angie sat up straight again. moody walked up to their table and left the spider in front of hermione.

"perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curse miss granger." the professor asked.

hermione looked up at the man and swiftly shook her head no. professor moody said the spell and the spider died right in front of the girls.

"the killing curse. only one person is known to have survived it. and he's sitting in this room."

professor moody walked up to harry's desk and took a sip from his flask. class ended seconds later and angie ran out of the room, straight to her next class. she was scarred and wanted nothing to do with defense against the dark arts.

—◦★◦—

after class, angie and hermione made their way to the great hall where people were putting their names into the goblet. they sat down at one of the tables and hermione looked looked at her friend.

"are you alright? i saw you in defense against the dark arts and you looked like you were going to cry." hermione asked her best friend, worriedly.

"i'll be fine. i just can't believe he would perform these curses in front of us, in front of neville!" angie told hermione, sighing and putting her head in her hands.

hermione rubbed her back soothingly when a group of hufflepuffs made their way into the room.

"you might want to look up now. cedric is here." hermione whispered to angie.

angie debated whether or not to look up in her head and ultimately decided to sit up. cedric came out of the crowd and put his slip of paper into the goblet. everyone in the room, including angie, clapped for him. she was about to put her head down again when the boy came up to them.

"hi hermione, evangeline." cedric said, sitting down next to the girls.

"hey cedric." angie said softly. "good luck, you'd make a great champion."

"thanks angie, i'll see you around." he said and got up to catch up with his friends.

evangeline waved to ron and harry, silently telling them to come over, but got stopped by the twins running into the great hall, cheering about something angie didn't know about.

"thank you thank you, well lads we've done it." george announced to the great hall.

"cooked it up just this morning." fred said.

angie realized that the twins had made an age potion and the girl laughed quietly to herself.

"it's not going to work." angie told the boys.

"oh yeah? and why's that mchale?" fred asked, walking around the table to stand in front of her.

"you see this? this is an age line. dumbledore drew it himself." angie explained, pointing at the age line.

"so?" fred asked again.

angie clapped her hands and looked down at the boys. "so a genius like dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by something pathetically dimwitted such as an age potion."

"that's why it's so brilliant." george told the girl.

"because it's so pathetically dimwitted." fred continued.

"ready fred?"

"ready george?"

"bottoms up." the twins said together.

angie watched as fred and george drank the potion and jumped inside the age line. angie chuckled as everyone cheered. they put their names in and high five each other. suddenly angie gasped as the blue flames grew and flug the boys across the room, giving them full grey beards and hair.

hermione and angie laugh as they wrestle on the floor. the room went silent as viktor krum walked in and put his name in the goblet. as he walked away, angie noticed him give hermione a smile and made a mental note to herself to talk to her friend about that later. the girls gave each other a look and got up to head to their next class.
