I'm sorry Zina, but Luna has already been taken, and we can't add any more people. Sorry!

Okay guys! I am back. I DID get home yesterday, but it was like twelve o'clock. Sooo, now I am posting! Balletandbow, about the Ron thing, I am fine with that. Also, I never really got to the details about Riley, so could you tell me a bit more about her? So, now for the fun part! (Sorry, they are really short,) 

Riley

I stare of into space, thinking about what Dumbledore said today. I want to enter. But after what happened last year, I am a bit hesitant. I realize breakfast is starting soon. I hurry down the halls and bump into numerous people as I pass. "Sorry," I say and continue on my way. 

Draco

I walk down the hall towards breakfast. I think about whether to enter the tournament. Riley snaps me out of my thinking by practically mowing  down a group of people to my left. "Sorry" she says almost carelessly. I ignore Riley and look to my right. I see a group of girls giggling and whispering and some boys shoving each other around. Most of all though, I see that they are friends. Real friends. Not my friends,  who I think only are friends with me because they are afraid that I would be mean to them. I push that thought out of my head. I hate that thought. Maybe I will enter. For some reason, people like to be friends with winners. For example Harry. A LOT of people like Harry. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I hope that is fine with you guys!  

Arg! I totally forgot that! So, Riley is from a wizarding family, and she has three sisters, the older ones in Hufflepuff, and the younger in Ravenclaw. As her parents didn't tell her anything about it until her oldest sister got her letter, she was slightly annoyed with them, but got over it rather quickly. Riley loves music, and is generally hated by most of the Slytherins because she hangs with the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors. She is really a bit timid, but has quite a temper when it comes to Malfoy and Co.'s behavior. She is best friends with Neville and Hannah Abbot, and would do anything for them.  Wand: Larch, dragon heartstring, 11 inches. Patronus: Lion. Pet: Great Horned owl named hippo. I'll attach a pic of what she looks like, but it's just my avatar creator version cause I can't find the original photo and I don't think the the Admins can let us post pics of people.  

Ok! It's been a while since I posted (ok, not really that long, but lots of other posts have been made), so I'm gonna continue!

|~| Ron

I didn't know what to do. I stared at the top of my bed and listened to Neville fall asleep, just because there was nothing else to do.  Julianne was going to enter, that much she already said, and the twins had seemed pretty interested. Mum would kill me if Juli gets hurt, but do I really want to put myself in danger? We all saw what happened last year. 

Harry was lying still in his bed, but I knew that he was still awake.

"Harry?" I whispered, "Hullo, Ron calling Harry."

"What?"

"I was wondering what you think. Should I enter? Juli's gonna, and Mum'll have my head if she gets hurt, but I'm just not quite sure." 

"I don't really know," he said, flopping over onto his side to face me. "After last year... Really, I just don't know. I'm sure Cedric's having this same problem now."

At that moment, my mind was made. Harry had had his turn last year, but now he wanted no part of this. It was my time.

"Harry?" I said again. "Can I borrow your cloak?"

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

A few minutes later I darted down the stairs into the common room to see my sisters sitting at one of the tables. The cloak was draped over my arm, and the shimmering fabric against my pajamas caused the girls' eyes to widen.

"What's that?" Julianne gasped. "It's so... Shiny!"

"Nothing!" I huff, but even as I do so Ginny snatched it away from me. 

"Liar!" she practically shouts. "This- this is an invisibility cloak! Where did you get this?"

I was quite sure that Juli had to fight back the urge to explode with excitement and surprise. "Ron! Are you entering the Tournament?"

"Uh.... No?"

"You are! Tell you what, if you take me with you right now, we won't say anything about the cloak, or ever ask you about it again. If you don't, the whole school will know that Ronald Weasley has an invisibility cloak by morning. Deal?" 

Was there a coherent answer to that question? If there was, I couldn't find it. Dumbfounded, I simply nodded.  

Cedric~

Henri is by my shoulder again. "So, Ced, where are we going?"

I stop. "I thought you knew. This was your idea!" She grins. 

"We'll figure it out, right?"

I groan. "Henri, I was under the impression that you: 1. Knew how to enter, 2. Knew where to go, and 3. Knew how not to get caught."

"Zero out of three, Ced. I would expect better from yo—" Henri's smile suddenly fades.  "In there!" I barely have time to sputter, "What—?" before she wrenches a painting off the wall and shoves me into the hole that appears, climbing after me.

I begin to inquire the reason for that, but she hisses, "Shh!" in my ear. Footsteps thump beside our hiding place, and Filch's wheezy voice reaches our ears. "Here, Mrs. Norris? Y'hear some little students buzzing about after curfew? We'll catch 'em, my sweet!"

My jaw drops. We hear them walking down the corridor, then silence. There was quite a limited space behind the painting, and, pressed together like we were, I could feel Henri's heart beating next to me. "How did you know?" I ask.

"Heard footsteps. Didn't know it was Filch, though," Henri replies. "Close one, right?"

"Too close," I mutter. "Maybe we should go back."

"Are you kidding?" Henri grabs my arm. "Ced, the castle is our oyster now! We could do anything!" The fire in her voice worries me.

"I don't want to do anything. You're a prefect. I'm a N.E.W.T student. And if we get in trouble, we might not be allowed  to enter the tournament! Why not wait till tomorrow?"

Sooo, to make up for not posting for the week I was gone I will post again! And this is an utterly amazing RP! Also this takes place in the afternoon of my last post. 

Riley

I race down the corridors, late for a meal AGAIN. I reach the great hall and pass the Gryffindor table. I wave to Neville and then glance at Ron. As I pass the Hufflepuff table I bump in to Hannah Abbot. "Riley!" she says, "How is Hippo? Is his broken leg okay?" "Yeah, he is doing great!" I answer. "Oh, I have to go Riley, see you in astronomy!" she calls and I hurry over to the Slytherin table. Most of the kids there glare at me so I take my place at the end of the table. I look over at Hannah, now talking and laughing happily with her housemates. I sigh and look down my table, where everyone is glaring or ignoring me. What another depressing meal this will be. 

I have to go now, I will do Draco later. 

~|Mars|~ Even though it's been a couple of days, I still can't fathom what Cho means. An idea pops into my head. What if I joined the Tournament? It's so daring, I almost chicken out immediately. I'll do it. And I'll go pranking, too. I lift my head up, searching through the crowd in the Great Hall for Julianne. 

"Julianne!" I call out when I catch sight of her. She turns around, looking at me curiously. "Yes?"

"I'm coming pranking. Do y'know when the first Hogsmeade weekend is?" She grins and elbows Ginny. "Next weekend. Course', we'll have to buy some supplies first. Then we'll probably set 'em up er … around the castle." She says, smirking slightly. I nod.

"Set what up around the castle?" A voice asks. I freeze. Julianne rolls her eyes. "Pranking, Fred, pranking." Fred raises his eyebrows. "You really convinced her?"

I snort. "Really, just because I normally don't get into such things just because I want to keep good grades doesn't mean I'm chicken." I say, glaring at Fred. 

He smirks. "Y'know Henri's going to be there too?"

"Of course." I say, lying through my teeth. "I'm surprised. Hope to see you you this weekend at Zonko's, Mars." Henri. I forgot about her. But now it's too late. I'm going. And the funny thing is, I've never set foot in Zonko's before. Not even in my third year.

(Fred)

I'm walking through the Hall, searching for George when someone calls out, "Julianne!" It sounds like Mars. I dismiss the thought, continuing through the Hall. I'm paying by them when Julianne says, "Then we'll probably set 'em up er … around the castle."

I smile. "Set what up around the castle?" Julianne rolls her eyes as Mars tenses up. "Pranking, Fred, pranking." I raise my eyebrows. They convinced Mars? Julianne had asked me on the train if she could invite Mars to come pranking. I had said yes, as long as she behaved herself.

"You really convinced her?" Mars snorts contemptuously. "Really, just because I normally don't get into such things just because I want to keep good grades doesn't mean I'm chicken." She says, glaring at me.

I smirk. "Y'know Henri's going to be there too?"

"Of course." Mars says, with pretended nonchalance. "I'm surprised. Hope to see you this weekend at Zonko's, Mars."

"'Cause silly," I say as I pull him out of the hole in the wall and into the dark corridor. "It's more fun this way."

"But-" Cedric starts to say, but I shush him.

"This way!" I whisper, "Filch is coming back!" 

I snatch the painting out of the hole and slap it back on the wall, ignoring its squeal of indignation. Grabbing his hand, I drag Cedric through the deserted halls, avoiding the teacher's lounge and one classroom that sounds like Peeves is having some sort of execution/party/demolition derby. Ced's going to be so mad when he figures out that I actually do know where I'm going, how to enter, AND how to keep from being caught, but oh well. What's life without a bit of fun? The look on his face was so worth it. 

We whizz around another corner, and Cedric pulls his hand away, panting heavily.

"How can you run that fast?" He gasps, leaning against the wall to catch his breath. He peers around the hall before staring back at me. "We're outside the Hall! How did you- Wait a minute. You knew where we were the entire time?!" 

What else can I do? I nod.

"Henri!" Cedric explodes, then covers his mouth just as quickly.  "Oops," he says much more quietly. "Henri! I suppose you know where exactly the new Goblet of Fire is too?"

"Yup. Right over here," I say, walking across the hall. A large painting covers the wall, but the monks who live there must have been out partying somewhere, because the frame was empty.  I slide it up off its nails and ease it to the floor. A door is set into the wall. It's locked, but I just whip out my wand, with Ced looking curiously over my shoulder. One alohomora later, and we're peering into a dark room. 

"Henri," Cedric ventures, trying to see through the darkness. "It doesn't look like we're suppose to be in here. Are you sure-"

My smirk confirms his question before he can even answer it.

"They haven't put it out yet." He mutters disbelievingly, "I'm out here, about to enter the Tournament again, and you aren't even supposed to be entering."

"Of course!" I whisper, lighting my wand and dragging him in with me. "They wanted to avoid late-night entrants, so they forced us all to wait till morning. They didn't tell us where the Goblet was. I'm sure that it'll be out by morning, but we want to be first, don't we..."

I trail off as the Goblet comes into sight, because someone, no, two someones are already there.  

Don't die!!!! POOOOOOST!!!! I will post as Ron to bring all our posts to the same time soon!!

Ok, we'll get everyone to the same time in this post...

|~| Ron

I stumble along behind Harry and Hermione on the way to lunch, trying to stay awake.  After Juli and I left the tower, we slinked down to the Hall entrance, where she had removed a painting and open a secret door.  We had walked down a dark hall for a while, before coming up to the Goblet, set into a pedestal of stone.  Honestly, I was so tired that I don't even remember what it looked like. Juli had already burned her parchment, and I was about to follow suit when two other people had entered the room.  I had whipped around, scared that a teacher had caught us, when Henri had busted out laughing.  Cedric, who had been beside her, hadn't been quite as amused.  Really, he needs to get used to Hogwarts night life.  We had all entered, and then left our our respective common rooms.

Harry stops in front of me, and I almost run him over, but manage to stop myself.  Hermione looks at me dissaprovingly. She really, really needs to get used to Hogwarts night life.  Harry's looking up at a poster beside the dorrs to the Hall.

"Hogsmeade visit," he says, pointing up at it. "Saturday. It's a bit early, don't you think?"

Even in my exhausted state, I know what that means. "Excellent!" I exclaim, "pranking with Fred and George! Juli and Henri will be there too I expect. Wanna come Harry?"

But, before he can answer... "Pranking?" Hermione says indignantly. "Pranking who?"

"Well, Slytherins mostly.  The occasional random pedestrian.  Nobody we like."

"But-"

"Wanna come Harry?" I say again, louder this time.

"That would be pretty great," he admits. "But I've got Quidditch on Friday night, and I don't think I'm gonna be up anytime before noon. Angelina got the schedule from Madam Hooch, and it starts early, and we've got to start training extras, just in case the team memebrs are chosen as champions, AND we've got to find a new keeper. Tryouts are on Saturday night."

He looks at me as he says this, knowing that I desperately want to be on the team.

"I'll be there." I say. "But for Hogsmeade, is there anything in particular you want me to hit Malfoy with?"

So, I think this is on hmm.... A Monday morning.  So Hogsmeade is on Saturday, and we can have the chamion revealing a week from then? What do y'all think? 

Aaaah! Scared. Very scared for Riley and ecspeacialy Malfoy! I will post later, I have to go right now.
