Because nobody ever mentioned that. And if he got in trouble, so what? The curiousity really was eating him up. Though he only stared now, eventually if he stood here long enough the curiousity would be too much to bear and he'd walk right into the forbidden area.
Then he started thinking about whether he would put his name in if he were actually eligible. Well, he is crazy, isn't he? There was no doubt about it, were he of age he would put his name in there happily. After all, it's a load of fun with lots of risk and a great prize. Win/win situation, no? Well, to Jimbo it is. Sounds like fun.
Okay, he'd stood watching long enough. Looking around to see if there were any teachers - not that it would stop him - he walked right up to the age line and crossed the thing.

A certain goblet maybe?
She was fifteen days too young. It wasn't faiiiiiir. She could handle danger just as well as any stupid seventeen year old 15 days older than her. It wasn't that Melanie wanted to be in the Triwizard Tournament. She didn't have a death wish (though she had to admit she wouldn't have minded the chance at that prize money). It was the fact that she couldn't, even if she wanted to, that bugged her. When she was an old lady and telling stories to her grandchildren she wouldn't be able to tell them that she entered in the Triwizard Tournament.
Instead she'd be telling the story of how she watched other people enter their names into the goblet... Which was much less exciting. Melanie sat crossed legged on the ground a few feet away from the age line, as she watched one seventeen-year-old after another cross the line to enter their name. Despite her slight bitterness toward the Tournament (it stole quidditch like the Grinch stole Christmas), she hoped Hogwarts came up with a champion worthy of rooting for. A champion that could kick butt properly in honor of their school.
...Hm.
He didn't look any older than her. And she didn't see a piece of paper in his hand. She raised an eyebrow slightly at the sight of the younger boy, curious as to what would happen. Her personal assumption was that the age line would just throw you back if you dared to step inside.
Perhaps someone had gotten more creative, though. You never know.
"That's not a very bright thing to do." Melanie informed him matter-oh-factually, watching from afar as he crossed the line. He was just asking for trouble, doing a thing like that. It reminded her of someone.

Oh well, she could tell Jimbo to put up a sheild and run at that later. As for now, they had the issue at hand. That age line was totally gonna do something to that boy. Mabey she ought to go get a Proffesor, that'd teach him not to go poking around age lines again.
She sighed amd crossed her arms over her cheast. "Farley, I'm going to laugh when you come out of there looking like a horses backside." Lani called after him. Seriously, you'd think he had more sense than that. "And I'm not going to be the person that takes you to Lafay to get your organs straightened out again." She added. Lafay... Oh yeah, Jimbo hated her. But who didn't?
Well, it seemed like it was a good idea to be here after all. Better HER to find Jimbo being a complete moron than some other prefect. She scooched through the other people that were there, until she was stood behind Leilani and some Hufflepuff.
"Y'know Farley," Oh aye, the Last name card. Well, more copying Leilani for effect.
"I agree with these two. I wouldn't do it, but I'm most certainly going to laugh." Aaaand, she'd probably have to drag him to Lafay with a beard and wrinkles... but that one didn't need voicing.
She looked at him with her hands on her hips, expecting the fool to start glowing and going freaky or something.
"Jimbo... Just get out of the circle before you end up ugly and old-looking. Because you WILL. Aaand, then you'll probably get into a crazy amount of trouble for it." Iris looked around the other people here. She could see Oliver here.... Maybe she should go get him. Oliver would know what to do... AND, Oliver isn't as scary as Lafay. Hehe. She added a little extra
"Please?" Just for good measure... Mainly because she didn't want to have to go and get him in trouble.
