Triwizard Tournament RP!
I know there's...
I know there's already another HPRP going on, but this idea has been spinning around in my head for a while, and it's time to put it into action.
So this is somewhere between the time the Tournament started and the time 'the death toll mounted so high that they canceled it'. We're going to need to do a lot of inventing, since I don't think Rowling gives that much information on it. Time to get out the old copy of The Lexicon and try to look up anything related to it.
But anyway, this is before you had to be of age to enter, so you can be any age. Hogwarts is the host school since we know the most about it.
A downside is that we can only have three champions, but we can be friends, supporters, etc. We'll decide which school wins later.

Colette-
One day until the second task. One day to find out how to breathe underwater for an hour. And where was Ann? I had an odd feeling that she had something to do with my task.
I sat in the library with a stack of about 40 books at my side. At the moment I was flipping through a book called: Charms that will save your Life. Did breathing underwater count as something that would save your life?
My eyes hurt from reading the tiny handwriting. Anyway there were absolutely no charms that had something to do with water. I slammed the book shut and slumped in my chair. Leila would’ve killed me for the bad posture, although, at the moment, I didn’t care. I would fail anyway.
“Needing some help?” A boy I’d never seen before with an armful of books slipped into the chair next to me. He had red-brown hair, freckles and an abnormally pointy nose.
“Oui. I mean…uh…yes.” I stammered.
“I was reading through some books and found something. It’s called Gilly Weed.” He took a book from somewhere in the middle of the stack. Its cover was ocean green. He showed me a picture of something that looked very similar to seaweed.
“And… ‘ow does zat work?”
“You swallow it and you become a fish.”
A fish? I couldn’t become a fish! I wouldn’t be able to hold my wand. He must have seen my face because he quickly added: “Not a fish! You get gills and webbed feet and hands…”
“It sounds like you’ve tried zis before.”
He shook his head. “No. I just read a lot.”
“Ok. And ‘ow are you going to get zis Gilly Weed?”
“Come with me.”
An hour later I held a handful of slimy green goo in my hand. I couldn’t believe that I was actually going to swallow it!

In the morning Spara, Erica and I ate breakfast in silence. Despite the fact that I had no appetite at all I stuffed myself. I wanted energy for the task.
After breakfast we went our separate ways to change into our bathing suits. Mine was silver with blue stripes. With the Gilly Weed in my hand I walked to the lake. A platform stood in the middle. It was already full with students.
The Headmaster explained what we had to do and then the whistle was blown. I stuffed the Gilly Weed and my mouth and almost threw up. It felt like I had swallowed something that was alive. I could feel the particles coursing through me.
I fell into the water.
The cold hit me like a sheet of ice. My whole body burned as if on fire. And then…
It was gone.
I breathed in and instead of coughing water, I felt it run through my throat. How could water run through my…? Like the boy from the library had said, I had gills.

Erica~
Early the next morning, I rushed to the potions classroom, where Andrew was mixing something in a cauldron, looking exhausted.
"Well?" I said, looking into the cauldron. An aqua blue potion bubbled, sending up wafts of steam. Andrew jerked his head up, like he had been dozing. "Wah? Oh yeah. It'll work." He quickly threw in a handfull of what looked like seaweed and dipped a flask into the liquid. He stopped it with a stopped and handed it to me. "The galleons and the fizzing whizbees, please." Sighing, I handed him the package and money. "This better work. It took a lot to get that candy." He immediatly popped one into his mouth and groaned in delight. "Right. Get in right after you drink it. It should last two hours. But get out of there before then, just in case. When it stops working, it really stops working. And what about our other bargain?" He glared at me.
I nodded. "Right." I popped my head out the door and to my delight, saw Esmerelda. "Oi! Esmerelda! You know that acne-vanishing potion you wanted but you couldn't get? Andrew here will make it for you at half the price!" Esmerelda looked estatic. "And just so you know, he's really nice. You'll like him!" Esmerelda nearly knocked me over to get into the classroom. Andrew looked ready to pass out with happiness. He gave me a thumbs up and I walked towards the lake.
I stood next to Colette, who nudged me in the ribs. "Good luck," she whispered. I smiled.
"On your marks..."
I grabbed the potion and put it to my lips.
"Get set..."
I glugged it down. It tasted like weak salt water.
"GO!"
I dove in. Instead of my lungs filling with water, I felt the water run harmlessly through, not clogging my breath at all. Smiling, I swam towards behind my friends.
