The Hogwarts Express rattled along the tracks, filled with chatter, laughter, and the occasional hex from overexcited students.

The Trolley Lady appeared at the door of their compartment, pushing her snack cart.

Trolley Lady:"Anything from the trolley, dears?"

Ronimmediatelydug into his pockets,producing a handful of sickles and knuts, eyes locked on Drooble's Best Blowing Gum.

Ron (excitedly):"I've been waiting for these all summer!"

Harryoffered to pay for everyone, butrefused to buy anything for himself—his usual "no unnecessary spending" mentality.

Then,Cho Changentered their line of sight, buyingtwo Pumpkin Pasties.

Harry (suddenly very aware of his own existence):"Oh. Uh. Hey... Cho."

Cho (smiling politely):"Hi, Harry!"

Ron and Hermioneexchanged knowing looks, while Harry triednot to combust on the spot.

Hermione expresses frustration at the Ministry for not detecting the Dark Mark's conjurer.

Ron mentions his father's concern over the event happening under heavy security.

Harry's scar hurts again.

Hermione insists that Sirius Black should be informed.

Then—

BOOM!

Rajablinked into existence,wearing a doctor's coat and a stethoscope, looking completely serious.

Raja:"Doctor Raja has arrived. Patient Potter, your scar is acting up again, isn't it?"

Harry:"Uh... what? How did you—"

Raja (completely ignoring him):"I sense high levels of DARK MOJO ENERGY™ around your forehead."

Withzero warning, Rajaproduced a giant magnifying glass, inspected Harry's forehead, andtook notes on a floating clipboard.

Hermionetried to hold back her laughter, while Ron waswheezing at the dramatics.

Raja (suddenly serious):"I prescribe these."

Hedramatically pulled out a pair of enchanted glasses, handing them to Harry.

Raja:"These glasses will block any evil eye energy and dark thoughts from entering your mind."

Harry (putting them on, eyes widening):"Whoa... my headache's gone!"

Raja (smugly):"You're welcome. That'll be50 galleonsfor the prescription."

Ron:"That's robbery!"

Raja:"How dare you to refer this doctor to Robber and Sirius is loading with money he will pay."

As the trainsped towards Hogwarts, Hermioneconvinced Harry to write to Sirius about his scar hurting and money for the glasses, and Hedwig flew off with the letter.

Raja,meanwhile, leaned back with his feet on the table.

Raja:"And now, we wait for chaos to strike."

The Hogwarts Expressfinally pulled into the station, and the studentsboarded carriagesto the castle.

The skylit up with movement—somethinghugewas approaching.

With aloud thud, amassive flying carriagetouched down near the castle grounds, guided bygiant winged horses.

Hagrid, tasked with clearing the runway, did his best...

...and gotcompletely bulldozed by the carriage.

Ron:"Did Hagrid just...?"

Hermione:"He's fine. He has main character immunity."

Then,the lake began to bubble.

Agigantic ship emerged from the Black Lake, rising like a scene fromPirates of the Caribbean.

Students from Durmstrangstepped out onto the docks, showcasingspinning staffs and breathing fire.

Then—

"Neighhhhh!"

The entire hallturned as oneto see—

Amagnificent white unicorn, galloping majesticallydown the Great Hall, its hoovesnot making a single sound.

Atop the unicorn,dressed in immaculate white and gold noble attire, satRaja.

Gasps filled the room.

Slytherins:"Of course he makes a grand entrance."

Ravenclaws:"How is his hair so perfect?"

Hufflepuffs:"He's literally on a unicorn."

Gryffindors:"Is that even allowed?"

Madame Maxime (impressed):"Is he always like this?"

Dumbledore (grinning):"Oh, my dear Maxime, he's just getting started."

Rajaleaped off the unicorn, landing withflawless precision.

Raja (command the unicorn):"Badshah, return."

The unicornneighed dramaticallyandvanished into thin air, leaving a faint trail of golden sparkles.

Rajasnapped his fingers, and his attiretransfigured into his Slytherin uniform.

Hesauntered over to his seat, winked at the ladies, and sat down like he owned the place.

Madame Maxime:"Your students are... wild."

Dumbledore:"Not everyone acts like Raja, because to act unruly, one must earn it first."

Madame Maxime:"So this is the famous Shadow King?"

Igor Karkaroff:"Is this the same guy who said he would be King of Wizards?"

Rajasmirked.

Raja:"Correction—I will be the King of Wizards."

The hallerupted into laughter, disbelief, and excitement.

Dumbledorestood up, raising his arms.

The hallfell silent.

Dumbledore:"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! But this year is different. We have the honor of hosting the legendary Triwizard Tournament!"

Excitedmurmurs filled the air.

Dumbledore:"Three schools, three champions. The tournament is dangerous, deadly even—"

Rajarubbed his hands together.

Raja:"Finally, some real action."

Hermione (horrified):"You want to risk your life?!"

Raja:"Risk? No, no, Hermione. I thrive in chaos."

The Goblet of Fire Appears

With adramatic flick of his wand, Dumbledorerevealed the Goblet of Fire.

The gobletburst into blue flames, flickering ominously.

Dumbledore:"Those wishing to enter must submit their names. Only those over seventeen may participate."

Fred and Georgelooked at each other and grinned.

Fred:"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

George:"Absolutely."

Rajawatched them with a smirk.

Raja:"I'll give you twofive galleonsif you actually manage to get past the age line."

Fred:"Challenge accepted."

The nightended with whispers of competition and excitement.

Rajaleaned back in his chair, watching the flames flicker in the goblet.

Raja (smirking):"This year is going to be super fun."

Somewhere in the shadows,a certain Dark Lord sneezed.

Andjust like that, the real chaos had begun.
