"Anything off the trolly dears?" The trolly lady asked.
Ron nodded and reached into his pocket for some money "packs of droobles and a liquorice wand" he then looked down at his hand "on second thought, just the droobles". Ron sat down and Aurora took his place at the door of their compartment, "can I have eight liquorice wands please" she asked with a small. The lady handed her her sweets and Aurora gave her the money then sat down. Harry went up next and was about to ask for something when a girl came up from behind the trolly lady and asked for two pumpkin pasty's.
Harry and the girl, Aurora knew her as Cho Change, a fifth year, shared a smile before the trolly lady handed Cho her food and she and he friends walked away. Harry came back into the compartment and sat next to Aurora who was nibbling on her liquorice wand. Harry tried to take one but Aurora slapped his hand away "should've got your own Potter" She said with a small smirk. Harry rolled down into his seat with a smile on his face.
"This is horrible" Hermione began "how can the ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn't there any security? Or"- Ron cut in "loads, according to dad. That's what worried them so much. Happened right under their noses" The compartment went silent once again. Aurora and Ron continued eating and Harry subconsciously rubbed the scar on his forehead "It's hurting again, isn't it?" Aurora said with a full mouth, Harry looked at her and shook his head "I'm fine" he dismissed "no your not" Aurora immediately replied "you know, Sirius would want to hear about this" Hermione chimed in. It was still weird for Aurora to hear his name despite the fact she'd been hearing it all summer.
"what you saw at the world cup and the dream" Hermione said slowly. Harry looked at Hermione for a second who was still completely serious, then looked to Aurora who just shrugged her shoulders. He then turned to the window and watched as they passed by the scenery.

"Now that we are all settled in and sorted, I would like to make an announcement" Dumbledore's voice boomed throughout the great all "This castle will not only be your home this year, but home to some very special guests as well" Students watched as Filch ran, if one could even call it that, down the aisles. "You see, Hogwarts has been chosen" Dumbledore stopped talking as Filch stood directly beside him. There was mild chatter all around the great hall. "So" Dumbledore began again "Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard Tournament!".
Aurora's hands flew up to her face as she realised the reason why Rosie would say she could play quidditch this year. Aurora was going to get her back. "Now, for those of you that don't know, the Tri-Wizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. 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 Beuxbatons Academy of Magic and their headmistress Madame Maxime!"
The doors to the great hall swung open and a large grouping of girls in all blue clothing gracefully walked into the hall. Their steps were so light that it looked as though they were floating. The girls started their greeting by gracefully placing an arm out and dreamily sighing to a few of the Hogwarts students, Aurora being one of them. One girl that caught her eye was a rather pretty strawberry blonde who had beautiful green eyes. It seemed that Aurora had also caught the girls eye as she sent her a small and cheeky wink before continuing with the other girls.
Their routine was short and simple but effective none the less. Once they were at the head of the hall, they all took a bow and once they came up, Aurora caught the girls eye once again. Aurora sent her smile. Harry noticed this and the tapped Ron's shoulder "maybe they know each other?" Ron said questioningly "maybe" Harry replied. Dumbledore quickly brought himself to the front and centre, after greeting Madame Maxime, to announce the next school, Durmstrang.
The boys from Durmstrang entered the great hall banging their sticks against the ground, this caused sparks to rise from them. Then, once the rest of the grouping was at the front, Viktor Krum and the headmaster, Igor Karkarov, entered the great hall "bloody hell, it's him" Ron basically squealed "it's Viktor Krum"
After everyone had eaten, Dumbledore stood at the front of the hall once again "A moment, please. Eternal glory! That is what awaits the student who wins the Tri-Wizard Tournament but to do this, that student must survive three tasks, three extremely dangerous tasks "wicked" Fred, George and Aurora mumbled to each other. Aurora was going to apply for the tournament seeing how she couldn't apply for the quidditch team. "However, the ministry seemed it fit to place a new rule. To explain all this, the head of the Department of Magical Cooperation, Mr Bartimus Crouch!" Dumbledore greeted.
Suddenly, the enchanted ceiling of the hall became thundery and dark, causing several younger kids to scream. A red jet of light shot out from a wand and immediately calmed the sky. Everyone turned to look at who had been the source of the jet of light and when Aurora laid eyes on a one-eyes man in the corner of the room, she knew exactly who it was. Rosie had told her stories of this man and how he trained her into become an Auror. this man was Alastor Moody.
"That's Mad-Eye Moody" Aurora said to the quartet "Alastor Moody?" Hermione asked, Aurora nodded "he's an Auror, he trained my mum. Half the cells in Azkaban are filled because of him but apparently he's lost it, according to the Daily Prophet. My mum doesn't believe it though, says he's always been a bit of nutter but always knows what he's doing"
Moody limped his way over to Dumbledore, who greeted him with open arms.
