It has been twenty-four years since Harry Potter defeated Voldemort, restoring the wizarding world to peace. The damage caused to Hogwarts during the infamous battle was fixed up, and both wizards and muggles moved on with their lives. Those who were students during the second wizarding war grew up, fell in love, and got married. Hogwarts returned to the glory it was in before Voldemort took over, and the world returned to normal. Everything’s at peace now. No Dark Lord has tried to rise to power since Voldemort. Of course there have been a few rogue dark wizards stirring up trouble, but the aurors easily round them up and chuck them in Azkaban, which is once again guarded by Dementors. No one knows how the ministry got them to guard the prison again, but some questions are better left unanswered. All that matters is that the infamous criminals from the second wizarding war won't be escaping any time soon.

Durmstrang hosted and won another Triwizard Tournament in 2000, but it was destined to be the last. The headmasters (or 'headmistress' in the case of Beauxbatons) decided that missing a normal school year for such an event wasn't good for their students, and far too much of a hassle to transport. The cons of the tournaments were finally decided to outweigh the pros, and so ended a great era of sportsmanship among the three schools.

Now, however, Hogwarts has begun its own tradition. This is the first year it will happen and everyone is getting excited for the Hogwarts House Tournament. Four tasks throughout the year determine the winner, who receives everlasting glory. Will you be the champion of your house? The tournament brings excitement stretching from hall to hall throughout Hogwarts, and has occurred eight times since the year 2003. It's sure to be a fantastic event
