Professor Killian Borisyuk sat behind the massive desk with his arms folded across his chest. He had a few ideas on what he wanted to do, but he would have to wait until after the lesson. He had done a fair bit of research for this lecture and knowing that their school participated in a legendary tournament should have been something to be proud of, but then again, his did too and he didn't care one way or another. So, he was just waiting for the fifth years to arrive. His green eyes glanced up as the fifth years came in, and soon were seated for the lesson to begin. With a wave of his wand, the door closed. "Good afternoon, fifth years. This will be the last lecture of this class, one you might have looked forward to the most." Yes, because learning about the history of the school was always a plus. Especially when it came down to the Triwizard tournament.
"After some talk, the Triwizard Tournament decided to open up again, this time expanding to cover more than just the three major European schools. In 2021, Hogwarts New Zealand was the host. This castle also had guests from Hogwarts Scotland and Durmstrang. This was when the founder of the school, Alicia Barker, was still Headmistress, which the tournament would later make her retire. The champions were chosen, who were Durmstrang's Cameron Kingsley, someone you might recognize as a former Minister for Magic here in New Zealand. Hogwarts' Scotland Nina Patrokov, a Hufflepuff, and finally, Hillary Grace from Hogwarts New Zealand who was a Gryffindor. The first task was hosted on the Quidditch pitch, dealing with dangerous magical creatures."
Killian was not sure what ones, but at least all three survived. "The second task involved a volcano but it never came to fruition as some Death Eater enthusiasts broke in and kidnapped the Headmistress. This stopped the Triwizard tournament, of course. Once she was found, she resigned as her post so you can only imagine the hell she went through." Killian did not censor himself here since he wanted to drive the point across. But there was another tournament that he knew about in the past, and there was no more after that. Perhaps for a good reason. "The final Triwizard Tournament was hosted in Beauxbatons in 2024 because of the failed one. The schools that participated this time were Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts New Zealand. The champions were Mike Goulding, a Gryffindor, for Hogwarts New Zealand, Morrigan "Moko" Craven for Durmstrang, and Aubrey Durlinch for Beauxbatons."
He only knew the name for the Durmstrang one but for a reason. "The first task involved the champions heading into a dark forest, hunting for runes that you might see in Ancient Runes, but they were faced with full-blooded Veela to tempt them." That would be a hell of a task considering that the chickens were allegedly beautiful and tempting. Killian did not want to have anything to do with those birds. "The second task involved an enchanted cavern with dangers. Lumos was not very effective in that darkness. The cavern would change walls, create magical ice men that would attack, and utilize fire. The third task was a three way duel. The winner with the most points for the Triwizard Tournament was Morrigan Craven." Killian smirked subtly since that was his school's champion, though now he worked at Hogwarts New Zealand, he could still have some bias to him.
"And that is the last of the Triwizard Tournaments. Whether or not it will expand to other schools, but the past proved how dangerous they can be. After all, deaths and kidnappings aren't exactly positive looks when they go live. If you have no other questions, no homework." Killian waved it at the door to open it to allow the fifth years to leave. He had nothing else for them today.
Assignment: RP the lesson.
