He smirked, just knowing that, once again, Durmstrang came in first. Beating Beauxbatons with their entrance, now beating Howgarts with entering the Tournament.

Soon, Durmstrang would be coming out on top for the third time when the Triwizard cup went home with them.

He stood right behind the growing crowd knowing full well that he was not only old enough to enter, but he was going to enter. He hadn't travelled all the way to Hogwarts for nothing. Of course, even of he wasn't selected as one of the champions, the trip still wouldn't have been for nothing. He had met a number of people already, and, they had all met him.

With a clearing of his throat, to let everyone know he was present, Nikolai made his way through the crowd stopping just short of the age line. Pulling out a piece of parchment the same color as his blood red robes, he took the last step needed to cross the line. Quickly glancing over his shoulder at the crowd, he grinned at the ladies gathered before facing the Goblet once more and giving the parchment in his hand a flick. He stood there motionless as he watched the flames engulf the parchment, and only when the blood red was no longer visible did he step back, re-crossing the age line. With another grin to the ladies, he made his way back to the spot behind the crowd he was previously. The view was much better from back there.

Now. Where were the BeauxbaBLAH students?
Sidney walks up through the kitchen door to the Entrance Hall. She cannot believe she could have forgotten her camera. Sidney had promised her brothers and sister she would take pictures of everything that happened during the Triwizard Tournament. Harry particularly is so green with envy. Why couldn't the Academy of Dramatic Arts host the Triwizard Tournament? I really enjoyed rubbing it in when I wrote him. I felt bad when he sent me three of his precious writing pads and special pencils. Harry has never shared his art supplies with any of us. Unfortunately, the best I can do is take some photographs. My drawing abilities are still horrible even with the magical pencils. Sidney rushes to the center of the Entrance Hall where the Goblet of Fire is on display. She makes it just in time to snap a shot of one of the student's paper disappearing in the blue-white flames. They briefly turn red and emit sparks. Sidney takes a few more shots of the Goblet and the age line.

In addition to Harry interest in the Triwizard Tournament, he has challanged his sister to try and figure out how she can out smart the age line and put her name in the goblet. Trying to trick the Age Line is only half the battle. The Goblet can probably detect if the witch or wizard submitting his or her name is underage. To be more specific, Harry wants Sidney to figure out how Barty Crouch, Jr. cofounded the Goblet of Fire during the last Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. Not one to pass up a challange, she accepts. Sidney figures it will be fun to work with Harry for a change. She has no intentions of trying anything out on the cup. Sidney is only a third year. It would be suicide to try and compete against seventh years. Not to mention, Professor Tate would have a mooncalf if she did something so stupid as get herself killed. Barty Crouch confessed in volume five of the The Life of Harry Potter that he used the Confundus Charm on the Goblet. I wonder if he used some other charms as well. Could confusing the goblet be enough to force it to select a champion from a fourth school?

Sidney makes her way through the crowd when she almost runs into the guy from Drumstrung- the one who had all the older girls at Hufflepuff table falling all over him. She places her camera in position to take the Drumstrung's photograph when her face starts getting very hot. Sidney can't help herself. She starts blushing. I never noticed how cut he is for a boy I mean. Sidney lowers her camera and stares at him. Butterflies start fluttering around in her stomach. You know it would be rude to just snap his picture. He is a guest here at Hogwarts, and we're suppose to show the Drumstrung and Beaubaton students that we know how to act properly. Sidney puts her camera over her shoulder and walks over to the guy. "Hello, I'm... I'm..m..m... Would you mind if I took a photograph of you?" Sidney's mind has turned to mush.
