Can somebody actually post please.....?

~Cho Chang~

"I don't know why you like Harry. I mean, it's great that he defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but I think that you shouldn't obsess over him." Henri hisses.

"Don't," I glared at her. "Besides, haven't you ever cared for someone like that?"

"No," She tilts her head, as if curious. "Why?"

"You find out soon enough." I say, skeptically.

She mumbles something that I can't hear, then turns away.

Sighing, I got out my books, ready to head to Herbology.

TOOOOOOOOOP!!!! I WILL POST TONIGHT!!!!

~|Mars|~ I grab my bag. "Cho, if you want to be all stuffy about being close with Harry, then fine. Let me know how that goes four months from now."

I push past her, emerging into the crowds just outside of the Great Hall. Julianne starts walking beside me. "Hello Juli," I say, sighing. "Why are you fighting with Cho?" she demands. "We weren't," I say crossly. "Yes, you were." 

"What were you fighting about?" she asks again. "Nothing," I say, avoiding her gaze. "Come on. Were you done hanging out with stuffy Ravenclaws with her?"

"Are you calling me stuffy?!" I ask indignantly. "You aren't as stuffy," she says cheerfully. "Oh, thanks," I say dryly. "You should come pranking with Fred, George, and I next Hogsmede visit!" I raise my eyebrows.

"Is Henri coming?" I ask. "Um, I don't know, actually." I give a defeated sigh. "Well, if she's not coming, and Cho and I haven't come to amends by then."

Am I too late?

Even if I am, do you still need another charrie from Hufflepuff?

I know Hanah Abbot, Susan Bones, Ernie Macmilan, & Zacheries Smith. But please do not use Smith.

I sighed, and leaned back from the Gryffindor table a bit. I had forgotten just how good meals at Hogwarts were over the summer. The first-years had been sorted, dinner was over, the Slytherins were quiet for once, and life was good. Up at the High Table, Dumbledore stood up, and strolled up to the podium that faced the Hall full of chattering students. 

"Friends!" he cried, silencing everyone. "Teachers, students, and most importantly, our young first-years, welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!"

The Hall erupted into applause, and Harry, the twins, and I stood and shouted: "Hear hear!"

Dumbledore proceeded with the start-of-term announcements. Nothing extraordinary, but he didn't mention anything about Quidditch tryouts, which was odd.

"Now," he said. "Comes the hard part. Due to extracurricular activities this year, our customary Quidditch matches will be, uh, set aside."

The entire student body rose in protest.

"But!" Dumbledore shouted, calming us as much as he could. "I would be a fool to force you to endure two sport-free years! Impromptu matches are authorized, however, I ask if they could be contained to the Quidditch field. Team captains can convene with Madame Hooch for more details. Sadly, as we are unable to host tryouts without officially organizing anything, the teams will remain the same as before, with proper exceptions."

Harry, Fred, George, and Angelina Johnson bent their heads together immediately, probably planning out the entire season right then and there.  

"And now," Dumbledore continued over the rising babble of excited students. "As to the nature of our interrupting event! As all of you well know, last year we resurrected an age-old tradition, the Triwizard Tournament, with varying degrees of success. This year, we shall reinvent it."

"No," Harry murmured at my right, shocked. "He can't do that! He's not that mad!"

But Dumbledore seemed unlikely to stop. "Due to unforeseen complications last year, we were all shown the problems that having only one champion can cause. And, as our neighboring schools are unwilling to try again, we shall do this by ourselves. We shall have our own tournament. Each house will have four champions, so that if one or more is incapacitated during a task, another will be there to pick up where he or she left off. A new goblet has been enchanted, and it will be placed outside the Hall for the next few days.

"Because of a certain young man's courage and determination last year, the age limit has been lowered. Anyone fourth-year or above can participate in this new tournament, provided they slip a piece of parchment with their name and house into the new Goblet of Fire within the time limit.

"This leaves only one matter to attend to. Champions will be given the same classes as their peers, but with one exception. Our good friend Professor Moody has agreed to return to teach the 16 champions in a special Defence Against the Dark Arts class once a week. All other students will be taught by our new teacher, Professor Umbridge."

Dumbledore turned and left the Hall, leaving us all in a shocked silence.  

Sorry if this seems rushed, my iPod deleted everything I had so I had to rewrite it all.  

@Emma

Sure! Like Cho said, we need more people for the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin teams. See the list below, and choose a couple charries!

TEAMS: (UM means un-manned, so no one is actually using this charrie currently. EMMA, THIS MEANS YOU!!)

Gryffindor: Fred, Ron, Julianne, and Pavarti

Ravenclaw: Cho, Mars, Luna(UM), and Terry Boot(UM)

Hufflepuff: Cedric, Henri, Skye(UM), and Ernie(UM)

Slytherin: Malfoy, Riley, Pansy(UM), and Blaise Zabini(UM)

Now, if you have no clue who Blaise Zabini or Terry Boot are, don't worry. Blaze is only a big part of 6, and I just picked a random Ravenclaw boy from the first book.  

KEEP GOING GUYS!! 

I think so....

I'm not really sure, it's been quite a while since I read 5-7, and I can't look cause I'm at my grandma's house.
