The next day rolled by quickly and the air was filled with excitement and magic. The morning of Halloween went by rapidly. Floating pumpkin heads and the castle ghosts entertained the student body with renewed vigour.

Almost no could focus during class, and the professors knew it, which is why, they let the students have a reduced workload for the day.

After all, even the professors were excited and didn't want to bother themselves with whiny children.

Soon, dinner time rolled around, and all the students started chatting with each other, discussing the possible candidates of the tournament.

Dinner went just as quickly as the day and soon, the Goblet of Fire was wheeled inside the Great Hall, displayed fabulously in the front.

"I believe everyone is extremely excited about the names of the contestants representing each school, so I will comply. Lets start it without delay." Dumbledore shouted and snapped his fingers loudly, causing the flames of the goblet to burst for a second.

"The first school is Ilvermorny.

Lets see, first contestant to represent Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft is, Jason Mendoza."

Cheers arose from the Americans as the blue haired boy jumped up high, getting cheers from his schoolmates. A few seconds later, he walked towards the front of the hall and was guided to the antechamber to wait for the rest.

"Next we have, Jasmine Jones." Another loud cheery later, the black hair girl ran forwards and followed Jason to the antechamber.

"And finally, we have Cole Timberlake." With the loudest cheer so far, the huge looking blond haired guy walked calmly towards the antechamber, waving his hands towards the Americans while acting like a narcissist. 'This guy could go toe to toe with Lockhart.' Harry thought silently.

Once the American school was done, the goblet burst with flames once again, spitting out the names of contestants from Durmstrang.

"Tolga Safer" Dumbledore announced.

Unlike the unrestrained cheers from the Americans, the students of Durmstrang resorted to either clapping or banging their staves on the ground in a rhythmic pattern.

Igor looked over to his successor and gave him a nod before the boy walked towards the antechamber.

"Boris Georgieva." Another rhythmic banging and a black-haired boy walked towards the antechamber, gaining a small nod from Igor.

"And finally, Viktor Krum." He got a loud cheer, not only from Durmstrang, but also a few other schools. After all, he is an international Quidditch star.

Soon, it was time for the Oceanic School.

"Moon Ji Won" The Korean girl with brown hair jumped up happily and rushed towards the antechamber with loud cheers following her.

"Jerrold Tracy" This time, it was the white haired kid who lazily followed the previous candidates.

"And finally, we have, Dwayne Cooper." With loud cheers, the muscular guy calmly walked as he fist bumped his mates and followed the previous contestants.

"From Beauxbatons, we have, Émeline Travere and Adélaïde Travere." Dumbledore announced as the twins with reddish mana walked to the antechamber.

"Fleur Delacour" With a loud cheer from the whole hall, the beautiful quarter veela walked calmly to the antechamber.

"From Japan, we have, Senjuro Rengoku, Yoshiteru Agatsuma and Toko Agatsuma."

The trio from Japan excitedly walked and towards the antechamber with the black-haired boy looking a bit nervous and mumbling randomly.

"And finally, from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Alicia Spinnet, Cedric Diggory and …." Just as Dumbledore was about to announce the last name, he froze. Reading the name again and again, he started to look around the great hall and nervously announced, "Harry Potter."

Instead of the usual cheers for the contestants, dead silence filled the hall.

Yeah. This is all that I had written up more than a year ago. It was a early draft, maybe my second, third or fourth attempt at writing something. I dont know if I may continue this, but we can all be hopeful.

This fic was mainly just to let most of my readers to have something to read while I fixed up stuff IRL. So, I guess, those who have read so far, enjoy.
