Harry's return to Hogwarts turns out to be a bittersweet one, as while his friendship with Hermione is growing stronger and he's gained new friends in Luna and Neville (he's pretty sure Neville wants to be friends anyway), his friendship with Ron is deteriorating before his eyes and there doesn't seem to be much he can do about it despite his efforts. Harry also finds himself missing Lyra quite a lot, and there's also the lingering paranoia in the back of his mind about the Triwizard Tournament that Dumbledore announced at the start of the year.
On October 30th when the Beuxbatons and Durmstrang delegations arrive, Harry and Hermione make two new friends out of two people they would have least expected it from, and Harry is confronted with the fact that there may be more to Hermione and her feelings towards their 'friendship' than meets the eye - but he barely has time to think about that, as tomorrow is Halloween when the Triwizard Champions will be chosen...
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
