Chapter 1
The Triwizard Tournament
Heard of the Triwizard Tournament? I bet you have! The Triwizard Tournament is a magical contest held between three large wizarding schools of Europe. When Harry was at Hogwarts, the Triwizard Tournament was held between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute, and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, each school being represented by one Champion.
Do you know what it feels like to be in the Triwizard Tournament? From my point of view:
I would feel excited, of course, because it would be dangerous, mysterious, adventurous… you name it. I would be a bit nervous about the tasks because there is a chance of dying… so technically you have to be ready for the first task which is a surprise… So I would prefer sitting in the library and learning spells and potions and keeping them ready. I don’t like so much attention and would feel annoyed if I am in the center of attention and if I am bugged everywhere. Enemies are easy to get.
Concentration and attentivity is a key to success and you can’t obtain anything without them. Solving the second task’s clue needs concentration. True friends always help you through difficult times and I would take advice from them.
I would do these things… what about you?

Wands: Cores
Unicorn Hair:
This type of core is the one that produces the most consistent magic and that suffers less fluctuations and blockages. They are the most difficult wands to turn to the Dark Arts and are the most faithful, usually getting attached to their first owner. They are not the most powerful wands and they can get melancholy, if mishandled. So, the hair inside the wand can die and need replacement.
Dragon Heartstring:
These core produces the most powerful wands, that are capable of the most extravagant spells. They learn more quickly than other types of wands and can change master, bonding strongly with their current master. It is the easiest wand to turn to the Dark Arts and it can cause the most accidents of most cores, because they are temperamental.
Phoenix Feather:
This is the rarest core type and they are capable of the greatest range of magic. They make the wands that have the most initiative, sometimes acting on their own. They are the pickiest on choosing their owner and they are the hardest to tame and to personalize.

Student Council Interview Part 2
Hello everyone! A few days ago, I had the privilege of interviewing one of the candidates who was running for the position of ‘President’. I, Manya, interviewed Steluvius Black and asked him a few questions regarding the council, his opinions and his ideas.
Interviewer: What made you run for president?
Steluvius Black: I felt that HiH was going out of control, and I wished we needed someone who could control it. And thanks to my friend Riley, that became reality. I joined the Student Council, and decided to run for president because I think I am okay for the role. I am definitely not the best, but you only live once. So, I decided to participate and see if I could win. As we are on the brink of a wizarding war between the DA and the Death Eaters, I feel like we need someone to lead us in the right path. It may be me, or some other. The main reason was definitely the war, followed by inspiration from many others.
Interviewer: Do you have any experience in such fields? If yes, then what?
Steluvius Black: I am the School president at my muggle school, even though I am not a match to the ones who have preceded me. I have served as president for at least 3 successive years, so I can say that I have enough experience to do this.
Interviewer: How are you running your campaign?
Steluvius Black: I have been trying to run my campaigns as friendly as possible. I have expressed every one of my ideas. Even though many people question my "crazy" ideas, I try to bring them to those who like them.
Interviewer: If a war between the DA and the Death Eaters takes place by any possible chance (let's hope it doesn't), how will you control it and how will you lead your team?
Steluvius Black: If a war does happen, my first action would be to set up healing camps everywhere. I will send the most experienced healers to these camps to make sure no one is harmed seriously. I shall try to maintain as much peace as possible, as we don't want many injuries and death on our hands. I will deploy many scouts around the area so that we can contain the battles, and even inform the Ministry if I could. If we do get big casualties and, at the worst, deaths, I shall begin attacks.
Interviewer: Do you think you will get elected for president? If yes, then why?
Steluvius Black: I don't have much hope, as Beezer Granger, another candidate, is amazing. She has amazing campaigns and has a lot of support. If I do win, I could definitely say that it was just a miracle.
Interviewer: Thanks for sharing your opinions and ideas with us, Steluvius. I do hope you win. Good luck :)
Steluvius Black: Thank you and hope you have a good day.
