-Next Day – Saturday-
The night turned into day, and I woke up early as I was used to, but unexpectedly almost all the students at the school also decided to wake up early, and this could be considered one of the strangest and most abnormal things that has ever happened at Hogwarts.
Usually the only people who woke up early were the teachers, and even they spent a little extra time sleeping on the weekends.
However, it seems that the excitement of seeing who would be the brave students who would put their names in the cup was so great that no one could sleep for a long time.
And now here I was, in front of the Entrance Hall with my friends, eating toast with strawberry jam and hazelnut cream while looking around at all the curious and excited students.
And I was also paying special attention to the students from the three schools who put their names on the cup, using my Magic Vision to see the blue thread of the magic contract connected to them.
And looking at these threads I noticed that some were thin and very weak, while others were a little stronger.
Before I thought that the color and thickness of the thread had something to do with the student's amount of magic, but after a quick analysis I realized that this was not the answer.
And I only discovered what those threads meant when Krum put his name in the cup.
He was magically powerful, but there were other students more powerful than him at his school, but his thread was still stronger than the others.
And this made me realize that perhaps the strong color, density, and thickness of the thread are a sign of who the Goblet of Fire will choose as champion, a sign that can only be seen by those with eyes sensitive to magic.
And thinking about this I couldn't help but feel happy, excited and relieved, because the thread that connected me to the Goblet of Fire was very powerful.
It was so much brighter, denser and thicker than that of the other students, even those from the other two schools, that I had no doubt that I would be chosen as champion.
Of course, Ced still hadn't put his name in the goblet, but I didn't think I had to worry, obviously not belittling or underestimating him, since I knew he was an amazing wizard.
But leaving that matter aside, I turned to my friends, noticing that my beautiful and calm Gryffindor friend, Fay, and my eccentric and lively Hufflepuff friend, Megan, were 'arguing'.
"I already told you, the Hogwarts champion will be from my house" Fay said, looking with conviction at Megan while tapping her foot.
"Hah, never!" Megan laughed with a look of arrogance, "Our school's champion will be a Puff"
"Not even you believe what you said" Fay said with a snort, which made Megan look at her with a vein popping on her forehead.
And even though it looked like they were in a serious argument mocking each other, I could tell they were actually having fun.
"Man, they've been at this since early in the morning" Stephen sighed with a tired look, looking at the two girls who continued arguing.
"Not just them" Michael snorted.
And with his sentence everyone looked around, seeing that there were other students from different houses arguing or debating about who would be the student who would represent our school.
"Apparently we can't forget the differences and rivalries between houses, not even when we're competing against other schools" I commented.
"Well, I don't care much for house rivalries, but I confess that I would like the champion to be from Ravenclaw," Terry said, "And there's also the fact that the Slytherins would be much more insufferable if the champion was from their house."
"True" I nodded.
We then continued to watch the other students put their names in the cup, and when I finished eating my toast I wiped my hands.
"Well, watching the other students is interesting, but I have other things to do, so I'm leaving" I said.
"Okay, but we're still having the study group meeting today, right?" Anthony asked me.
"Yes, after lunch" I replied, and he nodded.
After that I said goodbye to my friends and started to leave the Entrance Hall.
But as soon as I turned at the end of the corridor I came face to face with a beautiful girl with blonde hair.
But what impressed me most was not her beauty, but the sensation that came from her that messed up and bothered my senses.
'Damn allure' I thought, trying not to show any expression of displeasure.
Fleur, who was in front of me, was looking at me with a curious expression, and I could tell that she was wanting to say something to me.
However, her allure was so strong, especially because she was so close to me, that my senses began to alert me and make me uncomfortable.
And without giving her time to say anything, I walked past her, not looking at her a second time.
And with a confused and frustrated expression, Fleur could only stare at my back as I walked away.
'That feeling... those eyes... I'm sure it's him' she thought, frowning.

-Library – After Lunch-
"After this explanation, does anyone still have doubts or questions about how the Thuswyburn sap fermentation process works?" I asked, looking at all my classmates and friends who were sitting at the table with me.
We were in another session of our study group, studying about sixth year Herbology and fifth year Charms, and I was explaining to them about magical tree saps, their uses and how to use them.
My classmates who were paying attention to my words shook their heads, and then I decided to continue with the explanation.
"Good" I said nodding to myself, "In that case then let's move on to the next question, which is how to use the freezing spell to preserve the drops of a gooey elder leaf."
I then picked up the book that was in front of me and opened my mouth to start speaking, but I stopped as soon as I felt a presence approach me.
Turning around I didn't see anyone behind me, but I could feel the magic of that person and their eyes on me, as well as some feelings of fun and pride.
"Penny, you know this doesn't work on me, right?" I said, and my friends and classmates looked at me confused, wondering if I had finally lost my mind since I was talking to myself.
However, their confusion turned into surprise and shock as soon as Penny canceled the Disillusionment Charm, showing herself to all of us with a small smile on her face.
"I know, but I didn't want to disturb your explanation... you were so cute looking serious and focused like that" she said, and even though I had great control of my emotions I couldn't stop my cheeks from blushing slightly.
And seeing this, my friends blinked, looking at each other as they tried to understand what was happening.
'This is... This is Perenelle Flamel!' Hermione exclaimed in her mind, having become a fan of hers after first year because of the research she did into the Philosopher's Stone.
And Hermione wasn't the only one who had an excited expression as she looked at Penny, as most of the purebloods in the group also looked at her with eyes of wonder.
And unaware of my classmates' thoughts, Penny approached me.
"But well, how is my little teacher?" she asked me, and then she did something that shocked everyone, which was hugging me.
"I'm fine" I said with a small smile, hugging her back.
''''What the hell is going on?!!'''' they all exclaimed in their minds, gaping at us.
And I, who could feel their feelings, looked at Penny, who discreetly winked at me with an amused and mischievous smile.
'I have no doubt she did it on purpose' I thought, also with an amused smile.
End.
