Time will Tell
Twenty one years have gone by since the death of Lord Voldemort. Twenty one years have gone by since the death eaters vanished. Some of them, however, had managed to get into the hands of the Ministry after the finale battle. Even though they are gone, some of their ideas remain. The idea of marrying into only pureblood families for example. Or the idea that only a pureblood and a pureblood can marry in other words. They do not support the idea of marriage between a pureblood or a halfblood or a pureblood and a muggleborn. People are slowly starting to think outside of the idea. They are starting to think they are perhaps wrong, no one can say who you are in love with. These long years have brought changes into the wizarding world and into people's lives. The Golden Trio are married and have children, along with the people they had graduated with from Hogwarts.
And speaking of Hogwarts, the school had been through changes itself. After the death of Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall had resigned as headmistress and passed the job along to Hermione Weasley...wait. Hermione as headmistress? The news was met with mixed reactions but Hermione is determined to see this through. The new school year starts off with a surprise: the Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, had decided to restart the Triwizard Tournament again. A selected few of students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will arrive in October. Like last time, the selection will be after the Halloween feast. Unlike last time, there will be two students from each school competing. And who those students are is up to you. There is a ball on Christmas Eve, it is meant to get together with those from other schools and find out more about them. And everyone is anticipating the event.
But not so much as Lily Potter. The only daughter to the Potter family, Lily is excited that she will finally be able to see the event that her parents had seen. She does not know though, that her father had been picked as the fourth champion in his fourth year. It is something he would rather keep from her until she is ready to know. The upcoming events has the whole school buzzing with excitement. And then the students arrive. We have to remind our selves that they are different than we are. And they have different cultures. No one is certain on how the Triwizard Tournament will turn out this time, now that Lord Voldemort and the death eaters are gone. A change in security have been made as well. The event is more secured than it was in the past. But where do you fit in among the chaos before? What will happen to the tournament this time? Only you can find out....only time will tell.
