Today was their second day back. 

Before dinner, Dumbledore made his usual speech about house points being added. But today was different he said that "This year Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardary will be holding the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard tournament is a contest held between the three largest wizarding schools of Europe: Hogwarts, BeauxBatons Academy Of Magic in France and Durmstrang Institute, each school being represented by one Champion. Selected Champions compete in three tasks — which are designed to test magical ability, intelligence, and courage. Champions competed for the honour and glory of winning the Tournament, for the,  Triwizard Cup."

"You're joking" Fred Weasley shouted. Tension then broke loose. Leta looked around and saw everyones terrified faces, she couldn't help but look at Harry, who was also scared at the sound of a deadly tournament, even though he wasn't old enough to participate. "I'm not joking Weasley" said Dumbledore. "The students from BeauxBatons and Durmstrang will be arriving in October and the Yule Ball will be held on Christmas Day. "So get your dates early" "Finally, let the feast begin."

"I heard some people have died from doing this." Fred said whilst eating dinner. "Only two but those were over 200 years ago." Hermione said whilst nudging Fred. "Don't worry" "This is all exciting, isn't it."  Ron said completely oblivious to the conversation everyone else had, had. "Ron were you even listening to us?" Leta questioned.  "what?" He replied. Everyone sitting around them started to laugh. Ron looked around confused. "Ron you really need to get your ears checked, this is the fifth time today" remarked Hermione. "I can take you if you want?" Everyone kept laughing. 

A BIT OF TIME LATER:

"I'm going to go to go chill in the common room for a bit, I've got some homework that I have to catch up on for tomorrow" Leta yawned. "Hermione who?" said Ron. "One is enough, thank you very much" Everyone laughed except for Hermione herself, who prodded Ron's arm. "Ouch." "It wasn't even that hard." 

"I'm going to go as well. I think you should to, we've got exams next week and i'm sure you haven't done any revision." Hermione said staring coldly towards Ron. "I have revised" "If you have, Which of the following is NOT an ingredient in the Antidote to Common Poisons?" Ron looked around confused. "Don't know" 

"The answer is Red Myrrhe" I advise you to look it up and revise it." Hermione said before quickly leaving the Great Hall. 

"Bloody hell, what's up with her?" Ron shouted. "I'm going to go check on her and calm her done, she's probably just tired."

 "Don't worry" Leta said and Ron gave her a small smile. Leta hated when her friends fought. However, Ron and Hermione were always fighting and they always made up so she didn't worry.  Leta couldn't help glance at Cormac Mclaggen, who was looking at her, as she left the room. She couldn't help but smile.
