Conall Wolf

4) Hogwarts!

The carriage arrives at the ground of Hogwarts and everyone goes out of the carriage excited. Conall was way to nervous to finally be at Hogwarts so he takes his time on purpose. Faolán looks at him while he is already at the door.

"Conall come... they are waiting for us, and I wanna share this moment with you and no one else." Faolán says, he takes his hand out and Conall sighs. He feels like he isn't welcome at Hogwarts because of his rejection and he just doesn't wanna be confronted about it. But Faolán is right, and he rather shares this moment with him then with anyone else. He stands up and walks up to Faolán, he takes his hand but quickly lets go of if because it would probably look weird if they come out of the carriage holding each other's hand.

He steps out of the carriage and he sees everyone is looking at them. They whole school joined the courtyard to see who arrived and every student looks amazed at the huge winged horses carrying the carriage. When Faolán and Conall stand on the ground the carriage door closes automatically and the horses walk away, following a woman. When this scene is over he turns back to where the others went and he follows the row of people from Beauxbattons. Right now he takes his time to inspect the student. They are all wearing black robes with different crests. He can spot four different colours, the four houses. At Beauxbattons they are of course familiar with the houses at Hogwarts and they discussed a lot of times in which Hogwarts house they would be. Conall is sure he would be at Hufflepuff. The rest of the uniform is actually pretty old fashioned. It's just some plain black robes with a jumper under it in grey, not that special. Conall is glad that at Beauxbattons they at least have a bit fashionable uniforms.

When Conall is done inspecting the uniforms he can't stop noticing himself scanning the crowd. His stomach feels tight and he has the feeling he can throw up every moment. He wants to see Katsumi so badly, but on the other side he is so scared of meeting him. Yet he keeps looking, but little did he know that exactly on the other side of the courtyard someone is trying to get through the crowd to come close to the Beauxbatton students. But the Hogwarts students won't let him through and he stands defeated in the middle of the crowd, trying to spot the face of Conall. But the Beauxbatton students go around the corner and they are out sight.

All the Beauxbatton students are sitting right outside the great hall, waiting until they can come inside where they will be introduced. Conall sits against the wall, his hands are sweating. He tries to focus on the people who are explaining what they have to do, but he just can't focus. He keeps going with his hand through his hair but he just can't help it. He looks up at what the others are doing but his eyes are going back to his hands and he tries to stop making his hands sweating.

"monsieur Conall Wolf! Come stand here! We are almost up.-" Says Madame Baudelaire. Conall looks up and he swallows. He goes with his hands over his pants to remove the sweat and he stand on the spot he got appointed to. "-and remember your task, you can't ruin it monsieur Wolf"

Conall swallows again when he sees Madame Baudelaires stern face. Usually she isn't stern at all,  but he thinks she is just stressed for this and she wants everything to go perfect. You can't fail right in front of everyone at Hogwarts. Conall goes through the things he needs to do. Even in his mind he pretends himself walking through the great hall with all the students but his gaze always ends with Katsumi's eyes. Conall closes his eyes tight and shakes the thoughts out of his head, he can't have that right now, he can't ruin this whole moment. When he opens his eyes again he sees that Faolán stands in front of him and his heart just starts to pump really hard

"Lán... how am I looking? Is everything fine or does my hair look weird." Conall goes through his hair again, hoping everything is fine.

"Con... it is perfect, now focus. They can call us any second." Faolán says stern. Conall nods and looks to his other side, where Violet Breaux stands, the most beautiful girl of their year. They gave Violet and Conall the main act where Conall isn't so happy about it anymore. He was so honoured when he heard he got this place, but right now he just wishes to be in his bed while everything is done. He smiles weakly at Violet and she smiles back, but no emotions at econoom across. Then the doors open and the first ones start to walk. Violet gestures aggressive with her eyes to his arm and he shakes out of his thoughts and he does his arm up so that Violet can take it, then it was also time for Conall to walk with Madame Baudelaire behind them which stresses Conall only more.

They enter the Great Hall and in the beginning he is flabbergasted by this appearance. He looks amazed up at the ceiling but then he feels a little squeeze of Violet and he focuses again. He sees the row in front of him getting smaller and smaller, which means he needs to start soon enough. Conall is now acting on an autopilot. He is to scared to do something wrong and yet he only wants to scan the tables for Katsumi his face. On his autopilot he starts his act, he gives a little handkiss to Violet and runs to the front which isn't that far anymore. He turns and goes through his knees, looking Violet directly in the eyes. then the name Hufflepuff shoots through his head and he looks at his left where he sees people with only yellow crests. He swallows and spots the face of someone he can dream of. His feelings wants to look closer so badly, but the autopilot let him look back right on the good moment because Violet is about to jump. Conall raises his arms, catching the jumping Violet and makes a slow turn while holding her right above his head. When everyone stands behind them he carefully brings Violet back to the ground and he does a few steps back so that he stands in the row as well. Everyone bows gently and then goes to the corner where they have to wait for Durmstrang.

"I thought for a second you would let me fall in front of all those people" Violet hisses to him while punching in his stomach. Conall folds a bit and slams his arms around his stomach. He looks how Violet walks away arrogant and he rolls with his eyes. He walks past the few rows of people where Violet stands prominent in the middle, then he joins Faolán and Thierry in the back.

"Good job Con." Thierry says and he smiles bright at him. Conall only nods at him and turns to the Hall. His hands starts to sweat again and he feels his heart beating harder every beat. He goes with his eyes over everyone's head at the Hufflepuff tabel, ignoring the loud noises Durmstrang is making with their entrance. Conall goes over the same heads over and over again, but he can't decide which one it is. He hasn't seen Katsumi for a long time and he changed a lot. He knows for sure that when he sees his face he can say it without hesitation but none of them are looking at his direction, everyone is to busy looking at Durmstrang.

Right on the moment Conall wants to give it up someone turns his head his direction. He looks right in the comforting eyes of Katsumi. Conalls stomach turns over completely and it feels like his heart is pumping out of his chest. He can't stop staring at Katsumi, and Katsumi can't stop either. After the intense starring Katsumi gathered his courage and waves slightly at him and he smiles bright. As if this was the worst Conall could feel, his feelings just got tripled and he has no idea what to do. Right on the moment he gathered his courage he starts waving, but Faolán pulls him to him to make sure he will follow because everyone is going to their table. Conalls wave ends in a weird movement and Conalls cheeks turn red in an instance. He can still see Katsumi chuckling when he sits down at a different table and Katsumi got out of sight.
