Professor Killian Borisyuk looked over the lesson plan for the day, and there was a fair bit within it. It was one that the fifth years might find interesting, so he looked forward to seeing how they would react to it. Once the fifth years were accounted for, Killian gestured toward the door to close it. They were in for a lengthy lecture, and even had the homework already planned in his mind. "Good afternoon fifth years. Just like what I said before, I will be going over the Triwizard Tournament. Next lesson will be this school's involvement, but for now, I will be going over the history of the tournament, the laws that had to be in place, and the one that occurred that ultimately was used to bring back Voldemort." Killian sat down behind his desk and folded his arms behind his head. Killian was ultimately relaxed while talking about this subject because it was sporty, and he enjoyed it.
"The Triwizard Tournament is a tournament that brought together the three major schools in Europe: Hogwarts Scotland, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons. It is held every five years, and was established sometime in the thirteenth century. Each school takes turns hosting the tournament, and the judges for the tournament which are comprised as the headmasters or headmistresses of the schools. The tournament tasks are highly risking, and since there were an increasing number of deaths, the tournament was discontinued after the 1790s. The reason being was because the tournament in 1792, a task involved catching a cockatrice. The beast rampaged and injured three of the judges and others. The tournament was cancelled after this. There have been attempts to resurrect the tournament but they were largely unsuccessful." Killian wondered why a death was not involved in the cancellation of the tournament, but instead, a beast caused it.
He cleared his throat to continue the lesson, "Each tournament has three tasks that were designed to test the champions extremely. They tested magical ability, intelligent, courage, and resourcefulness. They were extremely dangerous and differ each year. The champions were chosen by the Goblet of Fire, which is a wooden cup that has blue flames. The students would walk up, with their name and school on a sheet of parchment, and drop it into the goblet. Then the goblet returned the names of the three it judged the most worthy participate. However, the tournament was nothing but a mystery until it returned in 1994, when Harry Potter was in school. There were new restrictions as no one under the age of seventeen could compete. They put this in place to attempt to bring the death toll down."
Killian thought that was funny considering what happened during that tournament. "Strangely enough, cheating was so common in the tournament that it could be considered even traditional with it. I'll go over how dangerous these tasks can be, and they all happened during the 1994 tournament. The first task involved dragons, and the champions had to fetch a golden egg it protected. The second task involved taking people that the champion cared about, took them to the bottom of a lake, and the champions had to rescue them. The last task involved a maze with several creatures to overcome."
The part-giant moved some of his hair from his face as he started to finish up the lesson, "The tournament ended after Cedric Diggory's death. Harry Potter was recorded as the winner and given the prize money of 1,000 galleons. Ultimately, with the new safety regulations, the champion's death made the tournament become discontinued again for a long time." Killian knew that it was not permanent since the school here had two and then no more. "Homework is on the board. Class is dismissed." Killian tapped the chalk board and the assignment was written and with a snap of his fingers, the door opened to free the fifth years.
Assignment: RP the lesson.
Extra credit: Write a small essay over what tasks you would implement if you ran a Triwizard Tournament.
