Welcome

-Song recommendation: Blondie by Current Joys-

As our library period ended and we were able to go into the courtyard and around the school for a 20 minute break me and Neville walked down together. We sat on a bench in the courtyard and just talked about life. Until, Neville's older sister came over.

"Hey Nev, Grandma sent me a letter and she said the next holiday we have off school we're going to Mexico!" She said excitedly as she held the letter their grandma must of sent her. "I'm hoping we go to Cancun, apparently it's beautiful there. Have you ever been?" She turns to ask me. "Yeah a couple times, I've travelled nearly the whole world" I say, they both look at me with their jaws on the floor. "Merlin! So your like a giant explorer?" She asks.
"I guess you could say that, me and my dad love looking around each country" I reply back.
"That's so cool, we've hardly ever went abroad or on holidays anywhere that much in general, isn't that right Nev?" She says as she nudges Neville on the shoulder, Neville looks to the floor shyly and nods. You can tell he's smiling about the news though.

"Anyway Nev, can you chum me to go have a word with Snape? I need to complain" she laughs as she looks at him, he looks up and nods. "Bye ynn I'll see you soon" he says as his sister smiles and waves.

I got up from the bench and realised I had around ten minutes left, I decided to go to Cedric since I've not talked to him in a few days. "Ynn!" He says as he brings his hand out for a hug as I walk over to him, smiling. He puts his hand over my shoulder as he's talking to his friends. "I seen you putting your name in the goblet, that's brave" I said as I looked up at him. He chuckled, "you could say that, I really hope I get chosen. Imagine how cool that would be!" He says excitedly. He reminded me of my old pet, a golden retriever.

"Better not get yourself killed if you get chosen" I laugh as he smirks. "I'm not planning on leaving you just yet" he smiles.

Anyway, Started walking towards my next lesson, which was Divination. I bumped into Theodore and Lorenzo on the way. "Hey guys!" I said as I ealked in the middle of them. "Hey ynn" Theodore said as Lorenzo gave me a hey too. "What was up with longbottom?" Lorenzo asked as Theodore snickered at the name. "Nothing really I was just spending time with him" I said, I didn't want to tell Theodore and Lorenzo every detail about Neville. I cared for him, I didn't want anyone to know about shit he didn't tell them about.

Once we got into class Trelawney was already waiting for us. "Welcome in dears, please do have a seat and get into pairs" she said as she welcomed us with her hands rushing us in. Theodore and Lorenzo went together. I sat down on one of the pillows alone, fidgeting with my necklace.

Mattheo, Draco and Pansy walked in a few minutes late.

"Please do hurry so we can start this lesson" Trelawney said in a hurry as the 3 of them gave her a small side eye as they were sitting down. Pansy was coming over to where I was sitting but Mattheo slightly nudged her out the way and sat next to me. I liked Mattheo sure, but he was very very bipolar towards me. One minute he'll be having a deep convo with me and the next he'll start raising his voice and getting pissed for no reason.

"Excuse you then" Pansy scoffed as she went to sit with Draco. Mattheo rolled his eyes as he turned his attention to the teacher.

-time skip, dinner time. Your sitting with Cedric at the table-

"Have you ever wished you were a slytherin?" He asks me. I think for a minute, I kind of have but not at the same time. "It's crossed my mind a few times but I never have actually wished it. Feel like if you were in Slytherin your just thought of as being horrible and rude" I say as I play with my fork and stab it into the pasta infront of me over and over again. "That's true, oh well. Just wondering because obviously your friend groups in Slytherin" he said. "I need to ask you something though" he says as he turns to face me a little more. "Yeah sure what is it?" I ask a little nervously. "Do you like anybody?" He asked. My heart stopped for a second. I might be a little delusional but it felt like he's about to ask me out. I brushed that thought aside.

"I'm not too sure if I'm honest, why?" I replied back.
"Oh no reason I was just wondering. Anyway, study at my dorm later?" He said as he nudged me on my arm. We always studied at least 2 times a week together. "How could I ever say no" I smile as I say back to him. I don't know if I was relieved or disappointed.

Dumbledore then stood up and cleared his throat, ready for an announcement. "Now that you all look pretty much done. We would like to introduce the two schools that we are competing against. On that note. Here is the lovely ladies of the beauxbatons academy of magic, and their head mistress Madame Maxine!" Dumbledore said as the great hall doors flew open revealing the most perfect, prettiest and coordinated girls I've ever seen.

They hurried down the middle of the hall as they put on a small show. It was beautiful none the less and you could tell all the boys certainly enjoyed it. "Woah, they're gorgeous" one of Cedric's friends said to Cedric. "Man you can't be putting an obstacle in his way. He's already got his eyes set on you know who" his other friend said. He's got a crush? Damn. I really am delusional sitting there thinking he was about to ask me out.

"And now our friends from the North," Dumbledore started saying as the cheers and applause died down. "Please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their High Master Igor Karkaroff!" He finished. Everybody basically snapped their heads as we turned too look at the door. My god they were fit. They walked down the middle aisle banging these sort of canes as some started to do tricks and flips. Then the one and only Victor Krum walked in. "That's Victor, right?" I leaned back a little to Cedric. "Merlin, it sure is" he said in surprise with his mouth slightly open.

Igor and Dumbledore greeted eachother with a small, friendly hug. Dumbledore then brought out the goblet of fire again. "Attention please!" He yelled as the hall went silent again. "Welcome Durmstrang and Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. Our students have gotten a head start with placing their names in the cup, but do not worry. That doesn't mean you guys have any less chance since it is one person from each school. Please do apply for it soon though. Thank you" he said as he went back to sit down as everybody applauded.
