ＴＨＥ ＦＩＲＳＴ ＴＡＳＫ

Blazing Night
The selected Champions are all placed in the Forbidden Forest in the dead of night with no warning. Hid
den within the forest there are vastly important items to the Champions which are vital completing a fut
ure task. They must find and recover their belongings (one per Champion) while a fire burns throughout t
he trees. Naturally they must protect themselves from the flames, smoke, and find their heirloom before
it turns to ash. The first Champion to collect their personal artifact and escape the forest inferno wins.

ＴＨＥ ＳＥＣＯＮＤ ＴＡＳＫ

Perspective Exchange
The Champions awake in another’s body, they must go on living like the other Champion they now have t
he outward physical form of until they are able to correctly identify who switched into them. The Cham
pions are prevented from speaking or interacting with other Champions. For further awkwardness and co
medic effect the rest of the student body has no inkling about the transformations. The first Champion t
o successfully distinguish the one who bears their appearances is the winner of the Task.

ＴＨＥ ＴＨＩＲＤ ＴＡＳＫ

Quidditch Cup
The Champions each serve as the Captain for their Quidditch Team and play their strongest position on th
e pitch. Each Champion hand picks their own teammates, who are not restricted by age/year/or even Ho
use. Teams will play another only once and any ties will result in a final match to determine the victor.

ＴＨＥ ＦＯＵＲＴＨ ＴＡＳＫ

Mountain Peak
The Champions begin at the shores of the lake facing the surrounding mountain range. They are each giv
en broomsticks and their first objective is to reach the summit of the tallest mountain. There is a cave w
here deep inside lies their Task, retrieve an unknown magical relic far within the mountains. Inside the c
aves they will have to use their own abilities to safely navigate the dark path. Along the way up various s
pells will be cast at them with only minimal time to defend themselves. The Champion who successfully
reaches the cave and claims the mountain's secret first shall be the winner.

ＴＨＥ ＦＩＦＴＨ ＴＡＳＫ

Mortality Clock
The Champions are attending a grand ball in the Great Hall. All seventh years students are present with a
n unknown murder among them. The Champions are the only ones able to preform magic (or they are pre
vented from doing so alternatively) and it is their task to find the killer. On each hour the clock tower’s b
ells ring out sounding the disappearance of a student. As time progresses on more and more students will
vanish at a time. The Champions may work together to uncover the culprit and once they eventually do i
t will result in a duel between them. Upon discovering the attacker each Champion will face them in ma
gical combat simultaneously (the dark force bewitches human figures-people important to the Champion
s,) and the first to defeat them by realizing the specific way -as hinted and clued by how the other stude
nts disappeared- is to be the winner of the Task.

ＴＨＥ ＳＩＸＴＨ ＴＡＳＫ

Empty Halls
The Champions are randomly placed in the furthest reaches of the castle. They are not permitted to leav
e the walls of the school. Each one of them is alone and without their wand, separated from one another
- yet they do all wear their heirlooms. Their goal is to find the way out- with or without each other. Alon
g the way they can search for their wands, which have been hidden in various places throughout the cast
le. But they should be wary for there are dangerous things lurking down corridors and inside classrooms...

The Great Hall was abuzz with conversations and livelihood. The whole student body of Hogwarts was
present, in addition to selections from Ilvermorny, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. Lindsay was seated a
t her own House's table; the noble House of Slytherin. It was the finale day of September and the visiti
ng schools had been with them since the first week of term. That had also been the time when the inf
amous Triwizard Tournament was announced. The last one had occurred over twenty years ago and sin
ce then major components had been altered. One of them was that four Champions from each school
were selected and a fourth school (Ilvermorny) had been added.

Lindsay recalled the evening when the Goblet of Fire spewed out the Champions, she had watched the
Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw representatives be named prior to her own announcement. A ru
sh of emotions had flooded her at the sound of the Headmaster's voicing her namesake. Yet, Lindsay re
mained calm and collect as she rose to join her fellow Hogwarts Champions. Her Slytherin green unifo
rm completed the team of red, yellow, and blue. At the time, just as she was currently wearing, Linds
ay had dawned on modest two inch black heels, full length black tights, a flared black skater skirt, a
white button up dress shirt, the traditional Slytherin tie, and a grey sweater with green trim over it all.
Her emerald ring was worn on her left index finger as she often liked to admire it.

For dinner Lindsay served herself some of the freshly prepared salad with various dressings. She liked a
moderate amount of croutons and had no desire for tomatoes. Once she was finished a delicious looki
ng display of seafood was catching her attention. The halibut was perfectly cooked and seasoned caus
ing Lindsay to take her fill of the plentiful cuisine. Accompanying her fish was a glass of Butterbeer w
hich she drained several times. Around the tables talk of the upcoming Tournament Task was the prima
ry front in all topics of conversation. Lindsay, along with three others, would be representing Howgart
s and competing against the three other schools with their four Champions. None of them had any idea
of what the First Task consisted of but Lindsay wasn't too overly worried about it.

She ate her meal in silence. Solitude was how she had spent her previous six years at Hogwarts, alone
except for her darling cat. Noctem was a beautiful blackish grey female, in certain lights and in the c
older months her fur was thicker and darker in shade while the opposite occurred in summer. Her blazi
ng yellow eyes glowed in the darkness. Occasionally soft purrs could be heard if one listened closely.

After Lindsay had basked in her share of food she decided that it was best she moved to rest. Retiring f
or the night began to sound more and more appealing as the seconds trickled by. Lindsay left the Grea
t Hall with drowsiness creeping up upon her. By the time she arrived at the Slytherin Common Room a
yawn had escaped her lips twice. Once Lindsay was in her own bed she wore loose sweatpants and a so
ft long sleeved shirt. Noctem had jumped into bed with her and curled up beside her under the sheets.
Her wand was placed on the bedside table along with her ring. Sleep washed over her easily as she sa
nk into its lulling depths. She knew not how much time had passed when her eyes opened again.

A shocking revelation jolted through her, Lindsay was no where near the warm bed she had drifted into
dreams from. Instead she was in the Forbidden Forest- she recognized the trees from all of the Care f
or Magical Creatures lessons. Durable boots were laced above her ankles, trousers were worn, and a lo
ng sleeved half green half black shirt was upon her. Over her left breast there was the Hogwarts Crest.
Her wand was firmly grasped in her hand as a voice spoke to her.

This is the First Task,
Something vital to you has been taken, and it is your objective to seek it out and reclaim it for yourself.
The other Champions will be preforming as such and you are advised to move quickly...

It was then that Lindsay noticed the increasing heat, the rising amount of light, the burning sensation
the air was having on her lungs, how her eyes were beginning to sting and water: the forest was on fire.

At the table of the Beauxbatons school, Hugo chews on his chicken energetically, wanting to finish dinner early so he can talk properly to his friends without making a mess of himself. He marvels at the chances. He was one of being one of the Beauxbatons champions in the Triwizard Tournament, an event which had not been held in more than 20 years! And now that it was brought back, by chance he was the right age to enter, and miraculously, the Goblet of Fire chose him, along with three other students he admired from afar. The cunning Adelie, focused Laius and gifted Elayna. But Hugo can not help but feel as though he is slightly inadequate, all the others just so sharp and intelligent, and although he is also very intelligent himself, he doesn't put effort in like them. He brushes off the thought, not wanting his self-doubts to ruin the evening.

Feeling dazed as if he got knocked in the head or doused with a bucket of cold water, the next few hours after dinner are a blur of his friends, teachers and even strangers pumping his hand enthusiastically, giving him hearty back-pats that rearranged his ribcage, smiles and grins said with wishes of goodwill. He finally gets to escape after he realises it's almost ten, and farewells his friends, who've decided to stay longer to socialise some more. Walking along the unfamiliar hallways of his new home for the next few months, the flames of the torches seem to jump, making the walls flicker. He's intrigued by the paintings, and tries to communicate to them to the best of his ability in his mediocre but improving English. They seem to be more friendly and conversational than the Beauxbatons ones, calling out greetings as he walks by. He reaches his dorm room at last, and decides to prepare for sleep immediately, even though his body is exhausted, his mind still buzzes with energy. As Hugo turns off his light, he realises he didn't manage to finish reading about Copernicus' Principle as he had planned, since he didn't expect so many people to come see him, but the feeling of approval and glory felt far greater than understanding an astronomy concept, even though it also actually related to what he was about to study at school. He fell asleep on his new bed after an hour of tossing and turning of imagining scenarios of what was about to come, and although he hated to admit it, he was apprehensive, mainly due to the lack of instructions and hints. Eventually, sleep came to him and he was grateful to put an end to his thoughts.

The first thing that he thought when he opened was, "I swear my dorm didn't look like this when I fell asleep!". Propping himself up with one arm and bringing his other hand to rub his eyes, he realised he was definitely not in his dorm, but a forest. And the hand he was going to rub his eyes with had his wand in it. Hugo didn't particularly want to stab his eye, maybe just not yet. He blinks a few times, getting used to the darkness. He suddenly hears a voice he doesn't recognise say,
"This is the First Task,
Something vital to you has been taken, and it is your objective to seek it out and reclaim it for yourself.
The other Champions will be preforming as such and you are advised to move quickly..."
Wait, what? The First Task? Already? At least that instruction was straightforward, he thinks. He replays the voice in his mind again, to make clear of the instructions. 'Vital'... what was vital to him? For a fleeting moment, he's scared that he's handicapped in some way and checks if all his organs and body parts are still there. They are, and Hugo breathes a sigh of relief. What else? His wand is there, and clothes, although he sees he's dressed in an outdoorsy outfit, and he admires the boots. A thought in the back of his head wonders if he can keep them when it's all over. He remembers in the 1994 Triwizard Tournament, in one of the tasks a person dear to the Champion was taken from them. That could be it... but were the instructions supposed to be that easy? Hugo doubts that they would remake an old challenge, the organisers were probably too clever. He reaches for his neck to twist his amulet as a habit, and realises it's not there. Has he misplaced it? Or was it the 'vital' object? He believes it's the latter because he never takes it off, ever. There's an unnatural twisty thing in the stomach that curls at the thought of losing his amulet, forever because that's what connects him to the Larue family. All are given one from birth, and to be the first one in centuries to lose it... he wants to vomit at the shame.

With renewed vigour, he gets up and says, "Accio amulette!". Nothing happens, and he doesn't expect it to. Instead, Hugo yells out a 'point me' spell and jogs north. While he moves, he smells something acrid. He looks around, and sees something bright through the trees. He starts to head in that direction in hopes of finding something good but as he gets closer, he realises the smell was smoke. The bright thing is fire. And he's moving towards it. That's a terrible thing to do, and he heads back north, making sure he's always at least and around 100 metres in front, while checking every nook and cranny of the trees. Hope is slowly being peeled away from him as he thinks about how many trees could be in a forest, how many places his amulet could be and the time ticking away as the fire consumes its fuel, which could very well be his amulet.

Adelie stared at her empty plate, her stunning blue eyes the only evident feature she could spot in her spotless reflection. Faint bustling activity moved around her, but all was quiet as the names were extracted from the Goblet of Fire into the hands of the speaker. Only the slightest bit of movement came from the chosen champions, mostly of grins and craning heads. Adelie blinked, focusing on her reflection on the plate, a whirlpool of thoughts flooding her mind. She had entered her name into the goblet, but the chances of her slit of paper being pulled from its glowering mouth was slim. She had the same chances as any other student who had attempted to be included in the dangerous tasks of the Triwizard Tournament. As the names were called out one by one, Adelie finally looked up from her complexion. She was undoubtedly arrogant and self centered. Would this manipulative student be chosen? Adelie grinned slightly as the first champion was called. Lauis, ey? Adelie wasn't keen of the male student. She didn't know much about him, just that he was a loner and stuck to himself. But Adelie didn't consider him not sharp. Being that quiet must've made him an observant person, Adelie thought.

"Adelie Rousseau-Lemard!" The cunning, devious brown haired beauty smiled, flaunting her egotistical appearance. Adelie had wanted to be picked to represent Beauxbatons purely for recognition as a bright, young student. She had immersed herself with new challenges and focused much more on her studies than she had ever had. She poured herself over everything, even though she was naturally intelligent. She even focused on Quidditch, which never took a deep, detailed interest in her. Adelie knew none of it would matter and it was all by chance, but she prided herself on her grades and natural, ambitious outlook on the world. The Ombrelune table erupted in cheers, although some remained silent. Of course, Adelie knew some of them loathed her luck in pure jealousy. The very own Ombrelune house of hers was known to accommodate one of the brightest and ambitious students, as well as the most direct and cold. Adelie was the perfect representation of that.

"Elayna! Hugo!" The rest of the names passed by in a blur as Adelie already started planning her manipulative intentions. She had no idea on what the first task would consist of. Adelie felt near her ear, the soft sapphire stone cooling against her warm hands. She normally didn't wear the heirloom earrings unless it was a special occasion. Given to them by her cherished grandmother, Adelie always kept it close to her, even when she didn't appear to be wearing it. She always put them in her pocket and felt it out of habit. The whirling blue mesmerized her and drowned her into memories of her grandmother and how many generations it had been handed off to. It powered her, of how much pressure the situation held. The first task, Adelie pondered. Ideas flitted through her, but each one she discarded as promptly as it had occurred to her. Past events always tugged at her ideas, but she knew the administrators wouldn't repeat the same task. How stupid was that?

Adelie sighed, aware of all the stares that focused on her. She ignored them all, reaching out for some water and a few brain power foods. She needed to be prepared, whenever the first task would come. Perhaps the first task would be right now, she thought. Maybe she would hit her head and lay there unconscious, like all the other champions. Maybe she would have to overcome her demons or deeply housed fears. But all that seemed too simple. There had to be something of more significance to each champion that could apply for all.

The rest of the dinner streaked past Adelie. She ate all that she could that would help her, although she knew it wouldn't help her much. It was almost time for the students' bedtime, though Adelie planned to utilize her time. The same question nagged at her, and she strongly wished that she could swat it away. However, her brain was taught out of habit for curious suggestions, and this was certainly one she wanted to know. Again, what shall be the first task? Annoyed and exhausted, Adelie stood from her seat at the table abruptly. She hated all the loud, obnoxious students talking to each other. Her brown hair whipped around, hitting her eyes in a striking motion. Large, numerous pairs of eyes looked up at her. Inferior, weaklings' eyes, she thought. She was their superior around here, Adelie thought in her same, mocking tone. Adelie stepped away from her table, recognizing the other champion, Hugo. The seventh year was a seemingly nice, always excited student. Adelie never thought of him, but seeming he was crucial to her success...

Adelie huffed as she went back to her dorm. Her sheets were perfectly smoothed by hand, and not by wand. She preferred not to be so lazy. She was tired, lingering at the edge of her bed. Seconds passed by when Adelie finally decided to just throw herself on top. She didn't want to sleep nicely and tightly this time. Sleep tugged on her, wanting to be fulfilled. Adelie sighed. She would have to take longer time trying to fix her hair and clean her bed tomorrow morning, but that would be alright for just one time. She was one of Beauxbaton's representatives, after all. She was tired, and already drifting off to a deep slumber. She closed her tired eyes and moved her sleeping position, piling herself with comfortable blankets.

"This is the First Task,
Something vital to you has been taken, and it is your objective to seek it out and reclaim it for yourself.
The other Champions will be preforming as such and you are advised to move quickly..."

Adelie gasped, her stunning blue eyes flashing open. She was laying on the ground as she burst forward. Her legs were shaking, barely supporting her. Blood rushed to her head and clouded her judgement for a second. What was this? Was this a dream? Adelie automatically thought. But she didn't fool herself with her own questions. She was conscious, alright. The feelings and adrenaline she was experiencing seemed much too real, even in a dream.

As she overcame her surprise, Adelie pondered where she was and what had been spoken to her. Something vital to me? Move quickly? What was going to happen? Immediately she thought of past tasks where the champions were to seek for their loved ones. But another, countering thought opposed such. The tasks will not be repeated. The administrators are far too clever for that! If it wasn't a loved one, what would they be? Or what it will be? Adelie gasped as she shot her arm into her pocket to find it empty. She screamed and pulled out the fabric, ripping it in the belligerent process. Her earrings, it was gone. Someone must've stolen it. Anger and fear settled upon her emotions. Why, why must it be now when she needed a calming expression? Unless, it was apart of the challenge. Understanding flickered through her eyes, her mind now strengthened. Oh how dare they... Adelie fumed. She must take her earrings back, she set the goal for herself. If she didn't retrieve it...

Adelie immediately set foot into the forest. The thought of casting the simple Accio charm overfilled her mind. But she didn't bother wasting her time with trying to attempt it. It was too easy, the gamemakers wouldn't allow such spell either. A smell of smoke and a sudden burst of light lit the forest to Adelie's attention. Her eyes widened, not believing what they were seeing. Her usual headstrong complexion eased, but she wasn't afraid. She simply needed to find a way to find her earrings and get away from the fire.. that was an easy task right? Adrenaline fueled through her, and she tried to keep her rationality. Adelie exhaled slowly and started running, fast, away from the fire. Her vision was limited as she ran, although she kept a lookout for a flash for a luminescent blue coming from the sapphire stone. She didn't even pay attention to the figure in front of her when she collided. Adelie screamed and jerked back, preparing to cast a defensive spell as she pointed her wand at the figure, until she realized it was one of the Beauxbaton champions, Hugo.

"Hugo! You're here, too?" Adelie coughed, her head whipping back to see if the blazing fire was coming nearer, and it was.

xxxroy sighed lowly as he twirled a string of spaghetti around his fork. a deep pang of homesickness ran through him as he watched the students of hogwarts interact with each other. how he missed goofing around with his friends back in america. oh course, it was an honor to be chosen for the triwizard tournament, but it didn't feel like such a big deal when all anyone did was congratulate him and give him a look of pity. his mother had lost her mind when she found out that her eldest son was chosen to go across the ocean to some sort of european death tournament for children. he had to beg his family to let him come to england for the school year. at the time, roy had never been more excited for anything in his life. a once in a life time opportunity to seize glory and experience a plethora of different cultures? roy would have been insane to pass it up. now that he was here, seated at a table full of children all dressed in the same drab yellow robes, roy would have killed to be anywhere else.

xxxroy took one last bite of his bun before he decided that it was time for some sleep. he had a long day and was suffering horribly from portkey-lag. with a bright smile at the group of fourteen year old girls across the table that had been staring at him throughout his meal, roy pushed himself away from the table full of food and went to leave the great hall. as he walked through the crowded hallways of the massive school, roy thought about what the first task would be. an anxious voice in the back of his head reminded him of the dangers that his mother had warned him about, sending a shiver down his spine. the last tournament hadn't been held in over twenty years, and ilvermorny wasn't even a part of it. this was a first for the american school of witchcraft and wizardry, so none of roy's mentors really knew what to expect. there were rumors circulating around the school that someone had died last time. to make light of the situation, some of roy's friends back in america had teased him about it, saying that he'd be the first to go. at the time, roy had found them funny. now, however, he felt an inkling of terror run through his blood at the thought of leaving his family behind if he did die. to calm his anxious nerves, roy dug his hands into his robe pockets and squeezed the old peso his abuelo had given to him when he first went off to ilvermorny. his peso was worn and dirty; it was barely recognizable to anyone who didn't already know it wasn't just a random hunk of metal. oddly enough, this coin had given roy more than enough reassurance over the years.

xxxafter wandering the hallways for ten minutes hopelessly lost, roy had finally made his way back to the dorm he was assigned to when he arrived at hogwarts. he didn't even bother to change out of his school robes and just threw himself onto the bed. the second roy's head hit the pillow, he was out like a light. what felt like five seconds later, roy was awoken by a cold draft running through his room. he groaned and rolled over, reaching out for his blanket. when he got a face full of dirt, roy immediately sat up with a startled cry. he blinked the sleep from his eyes as he tried to make sense of where he actually was. it seemed like a forest.

xxx"okay, not cool." he grumbled to himself as he pushed himself off the ground.

xxxa rush of cold ran through roy's bones before a wave of heat nearly knocked him over. he squinted into the dark at a glowing tree that appeared to be growing in size. roy wiped his eyes as the smell of smoke filled his nose. fire. a rush of panic filled roy as a voice whispered around him. "This is the First Task, Something vital to you has been taken, and it is your objective to seek it out and reclaim it for yourself. The other Champions will be preforming as such and you are advised to move quickly..." in a panic, roy stuck his hands in his pockets in search of his peso. to his surprise, he wasn't wearing the school robes he fell asleep in. the pants he wore now had no pockets, yet roy desperately patted himself down in a weak attempt to find his missing peso. when he search came up empty, he silently cursed under his breath.

xxx"so i guess we're doing this. come at me, stupid magic forest fire." roy grumbled into the night as he made his way into the forest to look for his "vital item".

--> Ilvermorny : Thunderbird Champion | 17 yrs Old | location : forbidden forest | tagged : none

Addison surveyed the food that appeared before her with barely contained excitement. There were few things in life that could capture her love and attention like food-- she didn't have eyes for anything else at the moment. She took a bite of some unidentified potato concoction and closed her eyes as the flavor spread through her mouth, savoring it. Luckily, the Hogwarts house elves sure knew what they were doing. This food was truly amazing. She scarfed down a plate of food, and leaned back to survey the crowd. There were sure a lot of students here, and it felt strange to be one of four American students that was at the school. She could hear the British accent as they talked over each other, a strange lilting sound that made the edges of her mouth curl upwards. Her school only had a few students come, and all of them were buried in the food, just like she was-- Ilvermorny skimped a bit on the food, in her opinion. It was a travesty.

She lazily watched the Hogwarts winners names be drawn-- Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw-- Ooh. Her eyebrows rose as she surveyed the Ravenclaw champion, a boy-- she had already forgotten his name, but she would definitely not forget that face. She wiggled her brows at herself, laughing quietly. Of course she would notice the cute boy. Addison fiddled with her fork, slowly eating one of the buttery rolls that had been put before her. The Hogwarts headmaster was up in front of everyone, talking about the tournament-- about what an honor it was to have been chosen, the history of the tournament... Honestly, it was rather boring and she didn't feel like being here anymore. But she also didn't feel like being rude. She wasn't going to get up and leave quite yet. Wait until they finish speaking at least.

As soon as the headmaster sat back down, Addison murmured an excuse to those sitting around her and got up to head to her room. She had eaten so much, and it was definitely time for her to take a nice little nap. If she was going to be ready and prepared for whenever the first task was, she had better get some sleep. If she could, at least-- it was pretty difficult, given the fact that she was a few time zones away from home and should be eating lunch right about now. She laughed to herself-- it was weird the way the world worked. But whatever. She flopped down onto her bed, breathing a sigh of relief as she felt her bones settle into place. It hurt her back for a moment-- her back always hurt, something about her posture-- but flopping onto the bed after such a long day felt like such a relief. She felt the waves of sleep rolling over her, strong and silent-- she could barely keep her eyes open now. She pulled off her shoes and climbed beneath the heavy blankets, snuggling in barely before she feel fast asleep.

Addison rolled over, feeling incredibly disoriented. "Wha...." She grumbled, blinking to take in the world around her. A voice suddenly burst into existence, startling her and she jerked around before she realized there was no speaker in sight.
"This is the First Task, Something vital to you has been taken, and it is your objective to seek it out and reclaim it for yourself. The other Champions will be performing as such and you are advised to move quickly..."
Addison's hand ran to her pocket, but her wand was there. Definitely not that. She surveyed herself, standing up and shaking off the leaves from the ground. It was really warm, not that she was complaining. Her hand grazed her throat, which was bare-- and she froze. Her necklace! Panic swelled up in her body and her face contorted into an ugly rage-filled mask. How DARE they take her necklace?! They didn't understand the meaning behind it. They shouldn't touch what they don't understand... She took a deep breath, practicing the breathing exercises she had learned as she desperately tried to get her anger under control. It wouldn't help her here, she knew that. She opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings-- the forest was on fire?! She let out a groan. "What a waste of these beautiful woods. They could have been great to explore," She whined frowning. Well, it was definitely time to figure something out. She saw someone in Ilvermorny colors in the distance... but couldn't quite make out who it was?

She ran towards the figure, conscious of the growing flames nearby. "Roy!" She yelled, drawing closer to the figure, finally making out who it was. Hopefully they'd be able to work together on this, since their items were presumably in the same place. At least, if they were going off of the last Triwizard tournament, they would be. Hopefully not at the bottom of the lake this time, though. Deep water really freaked her out. She drew closer to Roy, looking at him expectantly. If he knew what was good for the team, he had better work with her. "Roy, they took my necklace. Did they take something of yours, too?" she asked, hoping that they had the same goal. At least, she assumed they did. Unless they were getting tricky with new kinds of challenges along with new rules.
