The Triwizard Tournament {Repost}

[Miranda_]

The Durmstrang students stood behind their Headmaster, Faina among them. She was feeling tired from the journey, but very excited at her first glimpse of Hogwarts.

Professor Dippet cordially greeted Ivan, and made the same offer to rest til lunch that he'd made to Felice. Both schools were given directions to the Great Hall, which was where lunch would be served at noon.

Madame chantal nodded her understanding, then bade Professor dippet a polite goodbye; she needed to address her students.

Pyotr was also there, and was gazing curiously at the Hogwarts castle. He wondered if it was large within as it looked without.

Faina planned to only take a short nap, and go and look round the Hogwarts castle and grounds before lunch. She wondered if anyone would go with her.

The Hogwarts students were dismissed to their own devices, and started to wander off. Draven went and sat by himself under a tree beside the lake.

Pyotr, who happened to be standing next to Faina, muttered, "Wonder if there are hidden passages,"to himself.

Wendy sought out Nashira, ignoring Draven entirely as she passed him.

[Miranda_]

Faina overheard Pyotr and, despite the fact that she knew he was talking to himself, answered him. "I expect so!" she said. "It's bound to be warmer than the castle at Durmstrang. It was snowing when we left, and it's not here at all."

Draven likewise ignored Wendy, acting as tho she wasn't there at all. He felt dull and depressed.

Nashira went towards Wendy, saying, "I wonder what would happen to someone who was underage and tried to put their name in the Goblet? I do hope someone does try, so I can find out."

[spirit_queen]

"Yeah, but don't let it be you!" Wendy said. "I bet it's something really embarassing."

Pyotr jumped; he hadn't even noticed someone had been listening. XD "Um.. so... um... would you like to explore it later? I mean, uh, I'd like to be one o fthe first ones ot find a secret passage. Would be... fun," he said awkwardly. He was always awkward around other people. He hoped Faina wouldn't judge him for it.

"Of course it won't be me," Nashira said, serenely. "I'm much cleverer than that."

Draven had taken out some homework from his bag, and was beginning a Potions essay.

"Sure I will," Faina said. "The castle looks really big; it'll be fun to explore it with you."

[spirit_queen]

"It'll probably be some stupid boy who was dared," Wendy said.

"Really? Great! Um, um, when?" Pyotr said.

[Miranda_]

"Yeah, and I hope he does it when I'm watching," Nashira replied with a giggle. She shot a look at Draven, then said, "Draven will have to enter; Uncle Alonzo and Aunty Megaera will pulverise him if he doesn't."

"We could go now, if you like," Faina said. "I managed to sleep quite well during the journey, so I'm not really very tired; I'll have a nap after lunch instead. I just need to send off a letter to Mum and Kat, my sister; I promised I would when we arrived."

Faina had a little owl named Alik, who she'd of course brought with her and who was in the ship.

[spirit_queen]

"Draven doesn't want to enter?" Wendy said. "And I wish someone could get a picture of whatever the results are."

"Okay. I slept decently, too, fo once," Pyotr said. "You could always describe the castle in your letter, since we'll be exploring it."
