At Midnight

Summary:

“Now, for those of you who do not know, the Triwizard Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school, a single student is selected to compete. Now, let me be clear! If chosen, you stand alone, and trust me when I say, these contests are not for the faint hearted.”
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

It’s 2021 when the Triwizard Tournament is announced to take place the year following and one single task is all the three schools need to determine a winner in this texting AU.

Watch as Hogwarts, Beaxbatons and Durmstrang spend the first term of Barty and Evan’s sixth year together, a student chosen from each, competing for their school in hope of becoming victorious.
