Excitement was an understatement . I was completely ecstatic. Today was the day the guys from Durmstrang were coming. Oh yeah and the girls from Beauxbatons. But I mean the guys from Durmstrang. "I can't wait to Russian to see them" Lavender says talking about the boys. "They're not Russian. They're Scandinavian" I snap back quickly. "They're not Russian. They're Scandinavian" Lavender says mocking me. I roll my eyes. We're sitting in the great hall waiting for them.
Finally Dumbledore stands up. "Now Most of you must have seen them arriving so please help me in welcoming the wonderful Ladies of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and there headmistress Madame Maxine." Dumbledore says as the doors of the Great Hall open. Groups of girls in Blue clothes flood into the hall. I can almost hear the lads melt. Ron is going to have to pick his jaw off the the ground. Everyone's head turns to watch the girls. I notice a girl twirling while another is doing back handsprings. I can see a lost strand of my hair start to turn blonde. Great.Which ones a veela? Out of the corner of my eye I can see some of the people sitting around me starting to stare. I hold up my hand and say "Don't" without looking at them. I guess they take the hint because they turn their attention back to the beauxbatons. A few seconds later a really really tall lady walks behind them. "That's one big lady" Séamus says as she walks gracefully past us. Bet that's Madame Maxine. The girl doing back handsprings and the girl twirling stop at the top of the hall. They look to much alike not to be related. After the bow plenty of clapping and wolf whistling from the lads can be heard.
"And now our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their Highmaster Igor Karkaroff" Dumbledore shouts from the top of the hall. Seconds later men walk into the hall banging staff's against the ground. In perfect unison the preform some sort of routine. When the hit the ground with the staffs the release sparks. Not until one of them is right next to me do I realize how good looking they are. I can hear Lavender whisper "They are well fit". All of a sudden the run to the top of the hall preforming all sorts of tricks. Then gasp causes me to look at the doors. A familar face waltz in the door next to a man who I presume to Igor Karkaroff. "Blimey its Viktor Krum" Ron says quietly. Viktor and Igor walk to the top of the hall joining the others. Suddenly a bout of fire flies around one of the students and vanishes not before taking the shape of a Phoenix. Dumbledore holds his arms open before hugging Igor.
"Albus" Igor exclaims. "Igor" Dumbledore says letting go. Dumbledore then runs down to the center of the hall and says "Students lets entertain our guests in the best way we can. All stand" We stand knowing what we have to do. We have to sing that god awful song. The music starts as I sigh.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please
Wether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff
For now they're bare and full of air
Dead flies and bits of fluff
So teach us things worth knowing
Bring back what we've forgot
Just do your best, we'll do the rest
And learn until our brains all rot
Merlin I absolutely hate that song. The other schools have been probably mocking us for this. Whatever. Dumbledore claps and says "Wonderful. Now a very special song from a great student of ours. Miss Charlotte Peverell." I stand back from my table and walk quickly to the top of the hall. I sit down at a piano and clear my throat.
After I finish the song there's silence for a few moments before everyone starts to clap.Thank Merlin I thought they were going to boo me. As I walk past some of the Durmstrang boys a few of them wolf whistle. I laugh walking back to my seat. I plop myself down next to Neville and Ron. "That was only alright" Fred and George say from across the table. I laugh. "Only alright? I was bloody amazing"I say sarcastically. "I didn't know you sang" Neville says prodding my shoulder. "I didn't either but Dumbledore asked me to"I say before taking a sip of water. We eat dinner and start to walk back to our common room. I get about half ways there when I'm talking to Neville. I have a really bad habit of walking backwards.
And just my luck I bashed into someone. The crash sent me sprawling to the floor. I hit of the floor with a bang. "Oh I'm sorry" A deep voice says. In the darkness I can make out a boy with a sharp jaw and dark eyes. He is so good looking. "No its my fault" I say still in the shock of how handsome he is. He sticks out his hand and pulls me up. "My name is Claus." He says. "Uh...I'm-"I stutter before Claus says "I know who you are. You have a lovely voice". He seems to have very good English. "Well I better get back to the dorms before we get caught out past curfew" I say. Claus nods and smiles.
My stomach dropped. He is gorgeous.He then walked off. I sigh and say to Neville "Was he fit or what?" "Well I go for girls so..". I punch him softly on the arm. We then walk of to the common rooms
