The Triwizard Tournament! Now that was a piece of wizarding history that thoroughly perplexed Avalon. Why any school would host such a dangerous event, she never understood. From what she had read about it, several innocent students died. Was it really worth it, just to get bragging rights, a fancy trophy, and some money? They should have just kept it discontinued after the first time. Bringing it back in the 20th century only ended in another sad death. "The last Triwizard Tournament was marked by the return of Voldemort, and like Violet said, a student died because of it," Avalon said after raising her hand, adding on to her classmate's answer. From what Avalon knew about wizarding history, Voldemort would have come back regardless of if the Triwizard Tournament was held, but he used the event as a vehicle for his return. That was reason enough to not hold it anymore.
