Characters: All students (plus NPCs, if needed).
Setting: The Great Hall.
Summary: Halloween feast! Also, the three champions are announced.
Status: IC/OOC reactions.
The Great Hall had the usual decorations, with live bats and pumpkins carved into lanterns large enough for three men to sit in. The only change was the presence of the Goblet of Fire, standing right in front of Dumbledore's chair. The delicacies presented included pumpkins with sweets, apples, black cauldrons of big lollipops, carrot cake, liquorice bats and orange streamers. However, for most people, the feast seemed to take longer than usual - partly because of the previous feast, and partly because of the anticipation of learning the names of the three champions.
Once everybody had eaten, however, everything was ready for the big revelation. Dumbledore extinguished most of the lights, plunging the Great Hall into eerie semi-darkness - and then, one by one, the pieces of parchment with the names of the three champions shot out of the Goblet.
The first to be announced was the champion for Durmstrang, Viktor Krum, followed by Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory for Hogwarts. As soon as each of them was announced, they walked along the staff table and went through the door into the next chamber to receive further instructions.
The applause for Cedric went for a particularly long time, and it took a while before Dumbledore was able to speak again to give his end-of-feast speech. However, he was cut halfway, as the Goblet turned red and began to spark again - and, to everybody's surprise, shot out the name of a fourth champion: Harry Potter.
