Genesis Gryffindor and the Magical Orb - Book 3

Bellefeuille

The ceremony passed fairly quickly and the head of my house stood to her feet. I watched the others around me sitting on a green cushion raise to their feet so I followed. The woman dressed in green introduced herself.

"Bienvenue! For some your this is your first time ever attending our lovely school of Beauxbatons whether it be as a new student or transfer. We welcome you all the same, with open arms. I am Elle Dumars your head of house for both males and females. In just a moment I will take you into the castle and to the common rooms. For those that will be stepping in for the first time try to hold your questions until after I am done speaking." Elle turned and began walking, alot of the older students followed behind her but then as they got through the doors they headed off on their own.

"This is the main entrance to the palace, up here to your left is the fastest way to get to the common room. To your right is heading towards the grand staircase which takes you to floors that host your classrooms. This Palace stands six stories high, with a eight story tower in each of the four corners. Classrooms are located on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors on the East side of the building, and the magnificent and extensive library occupies the third through sixth floors on the West side." Elle said as she took them towards a spiral stair case.

We filed up the staircase and came out to a long hallway. There were several doors, intricately designed with guilded door knobs but the one we were looking for had the Bellefeuille house crest on the door, a mysterious green glistening glow seemed to illuminate from it.

"Anyone can enter through this door here no matter the house" Elle began again as she opened the door and walked through. We now stood in a luxurious common room, it reminded me of the Gyrffindor common room with its roundness but the furniture and decor was more elegant and detailed. "This is the common room, both males and females from any house are allowed in this room but only in this room so please do well to remember that." She then gestured to the two doors near the back. "The males personal common is through that door on the left and the females the same on their right. Only those in this house can pass through these doors. Don't get any ideas though, males are unable enter the female dorms as they will lock at the slightest hint of male horomones. Females the same." She then paused. "Your fellow Mousquetaire's will take it from here as I have a meeting to get to in less than five minutes so I will leave them to it" With a gentle smile and a courtsey Elle left.

The door closed behind us and two older students with glistening letter M's on their robes walked forward. The two students were about the same height but both taller then myself by atleast a head length. They had similar red hair and green eyes and a slight hint of freckles, they reminded me of Fred and George.

"Hello and welcome first years my name is Antoinette Amoretti and I am the Mousquetaire for the females and my lovely twin Eli is obviously for the males. In two seconds the males will go through the door with my brother and finish the rest of the tour and the females will join me in our dorms."

After a few moments Antoinette led us through the door into our own personal common room. If it was humanly possible my mouth would have hit the floor. I looked around and through for a moment I was inside a cloud. Everything was so pale, fluffy and glowed.

Straight across the room was a large window that opened up to the perfect view of the elegant gardens, ocean and the forest that towered above the two. After I had my fill of the view I turned to face the room. There was a fireplace that fascinated me because on the inside wasn't a large fire but candles that were lit that filled the room with the mixed scent of lavender and vanilla it calmed me almost immeadiately.

My eyes searched the room and I felt tired as my eyes fell on a lucious oversized chair that was so fluffy it looked like a giant pile of feathers, there were two. Near the back towards the entrance was another half of a room that also had a door with a window directly across from it. In the middle of that room was a long table with chairs set around it and behind it were excellent cabinetry that held fine dishes. There was so much detail it was too much for my mind, I didn't even notice when Alianne came to stand beside me.
