The Goblet of Fire in a powerful and ancient artefact. The reaction to Barty’s meddling was as unpredictable as it was dramatic. In a deafening explosion all four Triwizard Champions have vanished. The only consolation the gathered witches and wizards had was that an arcane divination ritual revealed them to be all alive and relatively healthy, however, their location remained a mystery. No magic was capable of finding them, it was as if they’d left this world. Everyone was nervous when the term f the first task approached and the Champions were still gone. Yet there was no reaction from the Goblet. So the Champions were safe, wherever they were. None were as nervous as Barty, however, since it was his actions that caused the Potter boy to vanish like that. His fervent insistence on trying to locate the missing Champions was, however, interpreted merely as Moody wanting to solve this particular mystery. It was on the date of the third task when the unexpected happened. On the lawn in front of the Hogwarts castle a portal sparking with eldritch energy appeared and four figures emerged. Though they were difficult to recognize, it was the missing Champions, casually bantering even as the gathered magicals gaped at them. For the Champions were very much changed by their unusual travels.
