“As I was saying. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year,” smiled Dumbledore.
“You are joking!” said Fred loudly.

“I can’t believe you are willing trying to get yourself kill,” Penelope didn’t want to let this go. “If it is about getting gold for the joke shop, then I can simply give you from my vault.”

you.”
“Why not?” Penelope wondered.
“It is simply out of the question. We will talk about this tomorrow,” George hugged Penelope. “Go to sleep,” he walked to the boys dormitory.
Penelope that night dreamed about Harry being the Hogwarts champion.
