In the middle of the Entrance Hall, you can see the Goblet of Fire sitting on a table. Chalked in a neat line around the Goblet is an Age Line. Stand back and watch as your classmates put their names into the Goblet in hopes of becoming a Hogwarts champion.
OOC Note: This is the thread where you can RP observing the Goblet and putting your name into it. Be aware that if you cross the age line and are not of age, dire things may happen to you.
Kellen's face at Raiden's explanation was very unimpressed. Yeah, mmhmm, you're just shocked, huh? Not buying it, Raiden, we've known you too long. But he wasn't going to pry. Maybe on becoming champions they all got some secret knowledge or something. Knowledge that, if told to others, would suck said others into the Tournament.
...could happen.
"Well, you guys are going to kick some serious Tournament butt," Kellen grinned at both of them.
Kel blinked. Was it bad that he didn't know any of the Hogwarts champions? Gosh, he'd have to fix that. But for now.. "WOO!" he exclaimed, clapping and cheering with the rest as names were called out. But, by the looks of it, at least one Hogwarts-goer wasn't too happy to have his name called out. Or maybe it was just shock.
Unable to muster up enough umph to go introduce himself to the champions just yet, Kel walked over to Jenn so that he wouldn't look so alone. He stayed silent, though, not knowing what to say, and semi-grateful that his own name hadn't been called.
Miles laughed and stuck his hand in his pocket as Raiden pushed it away. As long as he calmed down they'd be cool. Looking at Kellen as he came up he smiled and rocked on his hills. Nope nothing going on here, nothing at all. Just talk about DRAGONS. He stopped rocking and shivered slightly at the thought. He was so not looking forward to that.
"It's a lot to take in you know? Just being picked as a champion for the whole school." Not to mention the talk of dragons.

"Well, you guys are going to kick some serious Tournament butt," Kellen grinned at both of them.
He was still having an internal panic attack.
Thanks Miles.
But he was doing really well at keeping it internalised and not letting it show on his face. There was a bit more of the creeping excitement again. Dragons or not... he was a Hogwarts Champion. He had been picked.
"I didn't... think that..." He gestured in the direction of the goblet. "So many people put their names in... I really didn't think mine would come out..."
How had his come out when Nia's hadn't? And how many of the others that had been in there? That goblet had odd selection patterns.
He looked at Kellen.
"You're gonna like... be... around. Right?"
Wasn't gonna go off and hide his big huge Ravenclaw brain, right?
Riley watched as each name was chosen from the Goblet and cheered on each of the Hogwarts champion. He had the feeling that in the end it would come down to as long as a Hogwarts champion wins who cared!
He was excited that he had at least seen all of the champions around the school before. Cameron and Fletcher in classes, Raiden around the school with the Prefects and Miles he had met in the Owl Shop in Diagon Alley. The gyrffindor clutched his notebook and tucked a quill away.
In the shadows. No, not the muggle song. In actual. Di stepped into the light as the first name was announced, clapping politely. It was alright for her to feel a little detached, but she could gauge how the Champions must feel - the excitement, the thrill, the bubble of semi-disbelief.
"Congratulations, Prefects," she said, as the last name was announced and her gaze settled on Prefects Kururugi and Vorkosigan. Where were the rest of the Champions? Di looked around to see if she could spot any of them. They all deserved a pat on the back - and they were going to need it.

"Are zere not enough older boys here to keep you entertained? You now have to amuse yourself with ze little lion cubs." he said to Monique as he tried to appear annoyed with her. Normally Jermaine would find this behavior of hers rather amusing himself but for some odd reason he had started to like this young boy. The boy seemed uncomfortable around beautiful ladies. Maybe Jermaine would have to educate him on the art of how to act in the presence of someone as beautiful as Monique... and Brielle, without embarrassing himself.
"Come wiz me, zere are many zings I must teach you." he said as he lead the boy away from the girls... before he could embarrass himself anymore.
"They... they what...?" Carter asked uncertainly looking back at the French girls. How was it that he always managed to get dragged off by this French guy? He gazed longingly in Evelyn's direction. Was it too late to go away with them? It beat life lessons with the French guy.
SPOILER!!: Headmaster

One by one, slips of paper flew from the Goblet of Fire, and Tate caught each in turn and read it out loud.
"Congratulations." Carter said hoping to distract the French guy long enough to slip away. If he hurried he might be able to catch up with Evelyn. (Who apparently thought it was alright to leave him alone with these people. Which he wouldn't have minded if it was just the girls.)
Then he spotted Marie. "Hey! Marie!!" he said calling out to her. Forgetting that they hadn't spoken to each other since the feast he waved his arms frantically to try and get her attention.
Yup. He was that against life lessons with Frenchie.

It appeared that the blonde french girl was not going to help him. *sigh* He was hoping that she would be as helpful as she was beautiful. And mentioning that she was beautiful, Josh had just started to pay attention to her looks when Evelyn spoke up snapping him out of it.
He was not allowed to call her sweetie. Smiling the boy looked back at the Slytherin girl. If she did not want him to he would not call anyone sweetie of course.
He looked back at the French girls when Monique greeted him as the Master of Everything. Hehe. ''Bonjour, Monique!'' he greeted her back with a little bow. Then watching the others, Josh laughed some when he realised all the blushing thing Brielle and Monique were mentioning, not knowing that it was going to lead him to hear something shocking.
"Ohh so he is your sweetie, but then why is Patroclus blushing, oh"
Each word the French girl pronounced echoed in his mind and he immediately turned to look at Patroclus then at Evelyn and vice versa. Was not Patroclus blushing because of the French girl or was there something he did not know?
And seeing Patroclus was looking at Evelyn, he turned his gaze to the Slytherin girl as well.

But at least he said it right this time...
Oh, and there was another wink. That's when Carter lost all control of his senses and suddenly found himself bumping right into the arm of Patroclus. Then he was able to catch himself.
What just happened? Did he just... swoon?
Then he noticed everyone's gaze. He felt as if he missed something since everyone was looking at Evelyn. Deciding not to feel left out he joined in the staring contest.

But all thought was lost with what the blond-ish haired one said next. Well, she hadn't really thought about why Patroclus was blushing. She assumed it was because of her! That French girl! But then...
Wait, what?
SPOILER!!: Gryffindors making Ev uncomfortable with the staring
Turning to look at Patroclus, a bit of a confused expression on her face no matter how much she tried to hide it, she found that he was staring back. At HER. Oh....ohhh....
He was...blushing because of the French girl....right?
....Right?
Just the thought of it being the other thought made herself blush. But, wait, NO! Josh was here! Turning to look at the other Gryffindor, she found that he was staring at her also. This was horrible timing. That French girl...Breanne or whatever her name was...KNEW what she was doing. Pfft, Ev had to admit though, she would've done just about perfect in Slytherin. Glancing between the two, the Slytherin nervously laughed, trying to play it off cool. Not working so well. "Ummm...whaaat?"
And why was Carter staring at her? Wasn't he drooling over the foreigners? OMg, where was MARIE?! Or Destiny? "We should...we should gooo..." Right. Grabbing Josh's and Patroclus' arms, she tugged slightly on both, praying to Merlin that they'd follow. She only had two arms though so she couldn't really grab Carter. Evelyn thought though that he wouldn't care if he was left behind. Just hope that Marie didn't see him.
Patroclus could feel Josh's eyes on him, but he did not dare tear his from Evelyn.
When he had decided to head to the Goblet of Fire, this was not at all what he had been expecting. Frozen, unable to talk or think, Patroclus just stood there, silencing out Carter's lame attempts at French.
As Evelyn began to react, Patroclus was still unsure as to how to continue, however the choice was made from him. As her hands wrapped around both his and Josh's Patroclus allowed Evelyn to drag him away.

Now the random girl... which appeared very possessive... dragged off the two brunette boys.
"You missed one." she said looking at the blonde one.

However, once his words processed in her mind, the Slytherin actually laughed. "Umm, yea...I'm only fourteen. Duh. I didn't enter my name into the tournament." Pffft, wow. She didn't want to be turned into a bird!
Missed one?
"Noooo...i don't think i did." she muttered, glancing to Josh and Patroclus. Oh, she meant Carter? No, she did not forget him. Why would she drag him away? It's not like she LIKED him. PFFFT!
Besides, she only had two hands. Unless she grabbed Carter's leg with her foot? That wouldn't be awkward at all..
Stopping as Evelyn spoke to the Non-butting in French Girl, Patroclus' attention was stolen by the arrival of the HeadMaster.

Alice's jaw dropped. The Slytherin Prefect's name had been called. Ooh she's heard stories about the Triwizard Tournament and not nice ones at that. It was also what she had feared, one of her house mates being chosen. Well, she was proud of him, although he didn't seem very happy. Alice wished him the best of luck.

Opps. Was all Brielle could think, she had not done any of this on purpose, but she had to admit, it was riveting drama.
"Je suis trés desolé" She said, fluttering her eyelashes, "It was never my intention to upset anyone," the smile on her face, told that she meant this, but was still rather enjoying it.
"I can see why you like zem both" she smiled at the girl, who seemed to be the center of it all, "You 'ave great taste." she winked.
"It zeems I 'ave, Monique," Brielle said, turning to her school friend, " I 'ope zey forgive me," she played.
This was tooo juicy not to watch.

Regardless if most of the group were young boys, it was never a good thing when those two were together.
The look on that young girl's face said it all too. "Terrorizing ze young students, Monique? Brielle?" he said with a chuckle as he stepped up behind them, looking over their shoulders to the group. Was it possible for their faces to be that red?

Though, complimenting the boys would have probably got their faces as red as that. And the girl...she was pulling them away? Perhaps, saving the embarrassment? He could only assume of course. He didn't actually see what happened. "If he learned quick enough, zen perhaps he'll avoid you two."
He was kidding of course, and the chuckle proved that fact!
Jermaine appearing though only made his comment more serious though. Which was a good thing, since the girls needed to know that really...they could not eat their prey like Jermaine had said.
Perhaps he should move before the girls decided to hex something? Or...someone?
Well, now that the young lion apparently was safe, and the other three were leaving that just left him with...
Monique and Brielle. Hehe, oops!?
"Noel, 'ow could you suggest zuch a zing." Brielle, laughed, lighting tapping him on the shoulder, in a mock-slap way. "It just zeems to be a mis-communication." she smiled,
Acknowledging Jermaine as he arrive, Brielle was indignent, "You speak of us, as some prowling catz" Brielle laughed, "It waz zey after all that called us over -"
Brielle was cut short, by a booming voice, that rang out, It was time for the Champion selection.
And she was first!
Unable to contain her glee, the girl placed her hand to her incredibly smiley mouth, I am in, and so too are the others.
"Mon ami, congratulation!" She grinned, kissing each of them on both cheeks.
Jacob listened as the names were spit out of the goblet... That is so Cool!!!!
Wait... Miles? MILES?!!?
His head almost ripped of with the amount of speed it turned. He stared at Miles! Why Would he do it? After what vindictus, might or might not have said.
Jacob ran towards the prefect at full speed, stopping right in front of him. Jacob Grabbed Miles' face.
"What About The Bees!!" He screamed "What... About... The BEEEEEEES!!!!!"
Then Jacob remembered. "The Dragons!..." he said quietly so the Miles (and maybe the people around him) could hear, but not many others "You're Gonna Die! Don't Dieeeee!"

Miles one minute was grinning and then was staring into the face of Jacob as he grabbed his face. "'acob 'et 'oooo" What was the boy doing???
And then he was screaming. Bees? Who cared about bees? There were no bees there were however.... He swallowed hard and pushed Jacob off of him. "OH WILL YOU SHUT IT!" Geez this boy was something else. "No one's going to die." At least not today. *gulp* Dragons....he couldn't do it. No he couldn't. He needed to find Vindictus, yup, he'll withdraw, that was the answer. Then he wouldn't have to deal with the dragons, wouldn't even have to go to the task that the dragons were at.

'No ones gonna Die?!' Miles is gonna die! "But the BEEES! And Those Fire Puking Dragons!!!" fire breathing... stupid brain!
Miiles' eyes widened even more as the boy just KEPT ON TALKING! Didn't he know what shut it meant? It meant STOP TALKING. Swallowing hard he looked at Raiden, "F-F-Fire breathing????!!!!" Nonononono. He couldn't do this any more. He didn't want to be cooked and made for dinner. Nonononono. Holding his head he ran past the group of people. He needed to find Vindictus. He couldn't do it anymore.

Chuckling when she lightly tapped him on the shoulder, he took a step back just in case. You never knew with girls did you?
"Well, let's hope it iz only a mis-communication." Madame Enzo would be none too pleased if it was different. He of course, would say that right then but, why? There really wasn't a point.
On the other hand, the loud voice calling out names and then Brielle congratulating Monique distracted him from it all.

Smiling when he heard Brielle's name being called first, Noel stood up straight and nodded towards his friend in congratulations, before going back to listening to all the other names.
Sandra's name was called, then a boy named Miles, and then...His! Only causing his smile to become big as ever, suddenly overly proud of his name and school. A champion for Beauxbatons!
In fact, he was too absorb in picturing himself THE champion, that he almost missed his other classmates names. Fantastique! They were all chosen.

Breathe. Breathe. Calm down. CALM DOWN.
Lexi had been standing nearby and heard the champions being announced. o_____O Raiden... nu uh. Nope, that can't be right. OMG he was freaking and she felt the need to vomit or cry, or do both at the same time. But, in true Lexi fashion, without thinking, she pushed through the crowd and TACKLE!GLOMPED Raiden. "Oh my Merlin, Raiden... Good luck!" she exclaimed as she CLUNG to him. Tears started to well up in her eyes. If Raiden died she was NOT going to be happy. Time to start the RKFC. Yeah... totally.

Amber watched as the Headmaster read off the names of the Champions. She was squeezing her fists so tightly that she was sure she'd left marks. Not me, not me, oh PLEASE not me! She recited these words over and over inside her head, until finally the Headmaster had finished speaking. She felt as if the largest wave of relief had swept over her and knocked her off her feet. She hadn't been picked... SHE WASN'T A CHAMPION! Amber cheered and clapped along with everyone else in the room, turning to Nikolai. "Well, congrats Onion. I'm sure you'll be a great champion. Hehe, onion." She GIGGLE!snorted as she said the word onion. Ha, his last name sounded like onion. She'd be using that one for a loooooong time. She looked over and saw the Slytherin prefect, Raiden... hyperventilating? Wait, was that the same Raiden she'd had a crush on all through 6th year? No way! It totally wasn't... was it?

Marie had just turned away from Carter to head... well she wasn't sure where she was going, she just knew it was away from there, when she heard the voice of Headmaster Hottie Tate. Stopping to listen to him she was excited to hear Raiden's name called as one of the Hogwarts champions. She didn't know the other names called but she didn't care because her prefect was now a champion. She would have to congratulate him later though because right now she still wanted to get away from the scene of Carter and the French students.

Yup. He was that against life lessons with Frenchie.
She had just started to walk away again when she heard someone calling her name. Not just someone though... it was CARTER.
No, she had to be hearing things. Why would he be calling her name? He had been avoiding her every since the feast. Slowly turning around she was expecting that she would see Carter still talking with his new French friends only for her to realize she had been hearing things.
What she did see though surprised her to no end. Carter was looking at her and he was waving his arms like a lunatic. Not really knowing what to say to him, she just stood there looking at him.

....Raiden had gotten chosen.
Well, at least Sabel was safe, but Rai wasn't. He was a Hogwarts Champion now. Siigh. Arya didn't know what to think. Part of her was happy for her friend, but a bigger part was worried. Would he be okay? Would he loose a limb or worse, die??
And now they were talking about dying again, and dragons. This was not helping, she knew what kind of harm dragons were capable of. The Ravenclaw boy was just....yea. If she wasn't worried before, she was now.
Arya might have gone over and congratulated Raiden and the other champions had all the crying and worrying not made her more anxious about her friend's safety. They were gonna make her cry soon.
Staring at the crowd around Raiden, she chewed nervously on her bottom lip. She suddenly felt like not being here, so she quietly shuffled away from the crowd and left the corridor.

"I'm fine," Raiden managed, shaking his head and a hand at Kellen. "I'm fine, I just... there's lots of stuff happening and it's a bit overwhe-"
OOF.
When the shrieking Lexi collided with him, Raiden's eyes went, if possible, wider. It was really, really lucky that he was bigger than he used to be, and a lot more solid, because the force of her hitting him like that would have knocked him right down before. As it was, the prefect took a step back and awkwardly patted the clinging girl on the back.
"Uhm... hi... Lexi..."
He sent a bewildered look at Kellen; somehow, this had kinda helped him in calming down. He'd... grasped onto an idea, and was clinging to it already, and Lexi's attempted tackle had forced his panic down a bit more.
"I...thanks."
Girls. Grabbing him. This hadn't used to happen, had it.
Kellen took a step back as a reflex as Lexi came flying out of nowhere and attached herself to Raiden. Really? Really Lexi? Was this necessary? Kellen Stern did not think so.
...but, fortunately for the cling-sobber, it really wasn't Kellen's call to tell her to unhand his friend. Especially since... awa, come on Raiden! If you thank them they just do it again!
Grump.
Grump grump grump.
"Well. I'm glad you're not going to asphyxiate yourself on me."

Lexi clung to him a moment longer before loosening her grip to look up at him. Blushing deeply and letting a little tear roll from her eye she said, "Oh... I ... am sosorryabouttacklingyoulikethat." HOW EMBARRASSING! She just totally threw herself on Raiden... in front of people. She really wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.
Stepping back she wiped at her face with the sleeve of Finn's robes that she just happened to still have on atop her own. Wow... she was a mess. "Yeah... good luck. I'ma go now," she said with a little wibble.
She was SO hoping that Raiden didn't get hurt. Hmmm she was going to make Raiden shirts and stickers for everyone that wanted to support him. Hmmmm not a bad idea for things to give out at the FC. Yeah, that was a great idea. Smiling sheepishly she made to push her way back through the crowd and skedaddle.
Before disappearing into the crowd she turned to GLARE at Kellen Stern. Gah what a poohead! GRRRRRR. Raiden was her friend too she could cling to him if she so pleased and Kellen Stern's judgemental looks meant NOTHING to her. Yeah. Buttface.
The young man took a deep breath. A real one. It actually filled his whole lungs and everything. This hadn't happened in a few minutes, so it was a very, very welcome relief. He... he had a plan. An idea. And he'd... he'd just go on with that and things would be okay and this tournament wasn't going to kill him.
There was the terminal optimism!
"I'm... I'm okay. Just needed a minute to kinda... take it all in."
When Lexi let go of him, Raiden pulled his shirt a bit, straightening it all out again. She was like, really worried about him, wasn't she. It was almost confusing, but... well she'd been weird at him on the train, too. He was coming to expect this odd behaviour from her.
"It's fine," he said, mustering a smile and giving her a little pat on the shoulder. She was like fourteen wasn't she, you weren't supposed to pat fourteen year olds on the head. "You're not the first to... er... grab me."
When she slipped off, Raiden's attention went to Kellen again. The prefect rubbed the back of his neck anxiously, looking around the crowd of students in case any more were thinking about sneak glomping him.
"I... Are you as surprised about this as I am?" Kellen did not look surprised. Like at all.
"I'm so glad you've decided to be happy and smiley now!" Kellen called after her. He couldn't help it. Had he said anything to Lexi? No. Just a disapproving look for tackling someone while they weren't breathing properly. She wasn't doing too well with the whole 'I'm a happy person now, wait and see ' thing. Tsk.
Oh and look, Raiden was breathing normally. Again. Ish.
"Am I surprised?" Kellen considered this, "I guess... I'm relieved? I mean..." He looked around, making sure his clumsy bestie wasn't anywhere nearby, "Rather you than Sabel. I was kind of concerned about what would happen if it chose him."

She looked over and saw the Slytherin prefect, Raiden... hyperventilating? Wait, was that the same Raiden she'd had a crush on all through 6th year? No way! It totally wasn't... was it?
