Goblet of Fire: Future Triwizard Tournament (IC closed)

[Nuridia]

It's been 26 years after the end of Deathly Hallows, our heroes have started families and settled down in the Wizarding World, enjoying the hard won peace that came after defeating Voldemort. Young witches and wizards have been being trained at Hogwarts as always and life seemed to improve for everyone, but of couse everything can't stay perfect forever.

An old custom, the Triwizard Tournament that was held in Hogwarts every 15 years between the three largest magic schools in Europe, Beauxbatons, the infamous Durmstrang and of course Hogwarts itself. A tradition that had been banned for nearly a hundred years because of the deaths, and some still work to get it banned today but it has not been. School honor at stake, it will be happening again this year despite the risk. It is a treasured tradition among wizard kind despite its dangers, knowing the risks some parents have pulled their children out of school but others, mainly the students themselves know the risks and yet still choose to compete. By law, one must be seventeen and up to do this, old enough to drink but many say, still too young to die. Since there is no Voldemort this time, maybe things will run a little more smoothly, or not.

[Nuridia]

Alain Auguste
The young Beauxbatons student and younger brother of Henri Auguste sat in the carriage on the way to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament with a bunch of his fellow students that included his older brother and best friend. Henri and he had always been close, but the two couldnt have been more different. Henry was serious and refined while Alain was outgoing and goofy, the redheaded wizard had a penchant for pulling pranks and mischief which led Henri to call him Le Lutin, or the imp in English for his nature, it such and now all his friends called him that.

The sparkle in his green eyes was dimmed, he was nervous but hid it behind his bright smile or at least tried to. Not only was there a chance that his brother could be picked for this potentially lethal tournament, but he had just recently went through a very bad breakup. He had been dating a boy at the time and Henri tried to warn him but Alain wouldn't listen. The guy was rude and could be very controlling but Alain fought back and then Henri set them up to be caught cheating one day, making Alain break it off for good. It still hurt him, out of the few girls and guys he dated he thought that one would last, he had fallen pretty hard.



Augusta Longbottom
"Papa!" Augusta Longbottom raced into the now emotu Herbology classroom and threw her arms around her father, Professor Neville Longbottom. Her short blonde hair, like his glinted gold in the faint light. Neville was caught off guard by the short thin missile clad in a bronze and blue scarf bolted toward him, still in his leather work gloves. He smiled down at her and lifted her up, at fifteen she was still small enough to be carried which was embarrassing at times.

"Gussie, how are you my little honeybee? You smell like gingerbread and nettle potion, you've been with your mama recently haven't you?" Neville set her down and ruffled her hair, making her pout. Her mother Hannah Longbottom was the matron of Hogwarts, meaning she was in charge of the hospital wing and ran a tight ship, much like Madam Pomfrey had done although she wasn't as severe.
"Mama made gingerbread, there's a possibility that Frankie's going to be nominated." Gussie put the basket on the desk, she and Neville looked at each other sadly. Frank Longbottom was tall, strong, Gryffindor and of age to be selected for the tournament. A great honor, but also a very dangerous one.
"Your brother is strong, I'm sure that if he gets picked hell absolutely make it, your mum will definitely make sure of that." Neville said, suddenly wanting to speak to his son. He and Frank had been together all morning.


Mariya Sokolov
On the Durmstrang ship, a tall girl with long red hair in a braid brushing her thighs, clad in blood red like all of her classmates was staring out the window, looking at the fish swim by the Black Lake as the underwater ship made its way to Hogwarts.
"Why even competition needed, I mean we crush puny English like bugs anyway, I'd banish them to Siberia in second. Everyone knows I get picked, why ship swim under the water? Too bad it's water and not firewhisky." the girl muttered to herself in her thick Russian accent, she easily was as physically and mentally strong as any of the boys she went to school with. She trained for months for this tournament, Durmstrang was always a fight especially for the girls and the Muggle-borns since they had been admitted. She always had to be tough to survive, she wasn't worried about that much.
"I totally win the cup for school, then I get respect from everybody." she said, fierce blue eyes flashing.

"But will it bring you boyfriend, Masha?" Nicholas Isakov joked from the other row across from hers. Mariya snorted, her younger brother Alexei reading.
"What I need boyfriend in this lot for, you're not man enough for me Isakov, too puny and bitchy. I may as well date ugly Headmaster's daughter." she retorted with a smirk, earning a round of laughs.

[Tomia]

Henri Auguste
Henri was in one of the many flying chariots that was close to arriving at Hogwarts. Henri was siting with a bunch of his close friends, but right next to him was his best friend, his little brother Alain. The two of them were incredibly close and Henri was always very protective of Alaine. The mood in the cabin was quite friendly and joyful, but Henri saw right through his brother's forced smile. Alaine was going through a tough break up with some jerk who cheated on him. Henri never liked Alaine's ex-boyfriend and was glad when Alaine finally listened to him and broke it off.

Henri wrapped his arm around his younger brother, holding him close to his chest. "It's okay Lutin. You know I'm here for you." He told him softly. "Now come on, this is going to be fun, you're not supposed to be the worrier right? Now have fun, or I'll force you too." Henri said jokingly with a bright smile, his fingers playfully tickling Alaine's ribs.

Deiric Dolstoy
Deiric sat alone in some corner of the Durmstrang ship, not wanting company at the moment. Deiric had a few friends at Durmstrang but he often preferred to be alone. He was a muggle-born and soot people at his school looked down on him and thought that he didn't belong. This has made Deiric tough and untrstuing of strangers. He was determined to be chosen as Durmstrang's champion, to prove everyone who picked on him and who looked down upon him wrong. He was eager to arrive at Hogwarts, if only to see the triwizard cup and face his destiny.

[Nuridia]

"You're right Ri, I'm sorry. It's just that...I trusted him you know, I felt alright, I felt...something I never did before, I was in love and he, just broke my heart you know?" Alain took a deep breath to stop the tears from flowing and then his brother tickled his ribs.
"No, Henri. I'm too old for the tickles, no, no..ah!" Alain tried to move away and was unsuccessful, his lips twitching and he let out that famously infectious loud laugh of his as his brother tickled him.



Calliope Malfoy
The Malfoy kids were in the courtyard, the feast should begin soon a little before all the other schools arrived but until then they just hung out together a little. They sat close together like they always did, Scorpius had a protective arm around Calliope who was resting on his shoulder.
His little sister was his world and the two had been a pair since the day she was born, Draco and Astoria joked that Scorp fell in love when the seventeen month old saw baby Calli born in St. Mungo's. You never saw one without the other. They had the same Malfoy gray eyes, but while Scorpius was a mini Draco, Calliope was a mini Astoria with her tanned skin and long mane of curly dark hair.

"So sis, the Triwizard Tournament is today, I hope I get selected. I'd be like the first Malfoy in history to ever win the Cup." he said excitedly. Calliope rolled her eyes.
"So you want to compete in a tournament full of a bunch of shit that can kill you? Okay, sounds legit. Be my guest, I won't do it. No thank you. Well go ahead actually, if you die I get your half of the inheritance." she half joked to him, hugging him closer.

"You mean the big scary spiders, and the manticores, and the dragons. Dragons love treasure, and kidnapping beautiful girls. Rawr!" Scorpius bared his teeth and claws and lunged at her, tickling her and tackling her to the ground.
"Scorp, stop! Let me up, stop! Let me up, let me up, Scorp!" Calli screamed in between her laughs as she and her brother wrestled.

[Tomia]

Henri couldn't help but laugh himself when Alaine did. He loved the sound of his little brother's laugh, he didn't know how anyone could resist it. "Sorry Lutin, you're not getting away that easy." Henri said with a devilish smile. His hands were unrelenting as they tickled Alaine's ribs and stomach. He refused to relent for a few minutes despite Alaine's pleas. After that though he removed his fingers from his brother, and merely just held him close again, wiping away his tears that now were probably from a mixture of crying and laughing. "You're a sweet and beautiful young man Alaine. You deserve someone who loves you and respects you. I know you're hurting right now, but that person is out there. Don't give up, you'll find them someday I promise." Henri told his younger brother softly planting a soft kiss on his forehead.

Jasmine Dolherth
"You two, do you ever stop fighting." Jasmine said with a laugh as she stood over Calliope and Scorpius as they wrestled. Calliope was Jasmine's best friend so she often spent time with the Malfoys. "Our foreign friends are coming, is this how you want to introduce yourselves?" Jasmine chided jokingly.

[Nuridia]

Alain hugged his brother and leaned close to him. The two were always very close, they fought sometimes bit all siblings do. However the worst arguments they ever got into were always the ones that involved Alain's ex. Augustin Bellamy was popular, handsome, a Quidditch player and for a while, the sweetest man Alain ever knew. But it was all a lie, he would forget about it.

Alain was happy he had his brother there, he missed their little sibling as well and loved them dearly, wrote them every day but the two Auguste boys had a special bond and everybody knew. Henri and Alain's parents said that baby Alain's first words weren't Mama or Papa like most babies, his first word was frére, meaning brother in French. His second was Henri, when he was a baby he cried for his brother more than his parents, even though Henri was only two years older. They should be nearing Hogwarts any minute.

Calliope and Scorpius grinned up at their housemate and Calliope's best friend Jasmine Dolherth looking down at them, they merely giggled until they got up and brushed the leaves off of their robes and hair.
"So what if the foreigners see us, is there something wrong with a brother playing with his sister? And besides, I'm sure that the Nordic wizards have way weirder customs than we do. We vacation in France even summer, trust me, I know." Scorpius said.
Calliope shook her head at her brother and hugged one of her good friends.

"So Jas, how's it been? You nervous about the tournament, I never thought I'd be so happy about being too young to do something. Anyway, you seen Rosie around?" Calli asked slyly, reveling in her brother's blush. Rose Weasley was their friend and Scorpius' secret crush for years, but he was afraid to pursue it because she was half blood and their fathers' history.

[Tomia]

Henri continued to snuggle with his brother until they felt a soft but firm thud beneath them that indicated that they had landed. Henri smiled and began to stand up gently, "Come on little brother, time to meet our new friends." He said as the Beauxbaton contingent began to exit their carriages and step out into the courtyard of Hogwarts.

Jasmine shrugged at her friends question, "I'm not too worried. I'm more excited than anything. I'm just worried about the selection process. The cup is sparatic, who knows if it'll pick me or not." Jas said, it was clear how much being champion meant to her. Then she heard the sounds of hooves and wheels hitting concrete and she turned toward the courtyard. "Hey, Beauxbaton is here!" She called to her two friends, before running off and calling to them, "Come on, let's go see!"

[Nuridia]

Alain mumbled sleepily, his already messy mop of thick red hair even more mussed as he stood up and followed his brother out of the carriage. Following by him was a pretty young girl with brown eyes and long curly caramel hair chatting with Alain, Aurélie Beauregard. The French witch was one of his best friends, like a sister to him but not many liked her because her behavior was pretty out there and she liked guys...really liked guys a lot, she had been caught a few times by teachers and she loved partying.

Alain's family sometimes thought she was a bad influence since they chatted about Quidditch and men together all the time and Aurélie had given Alain many of the risqué magazines and erotic novels that filled his stash, Henri had been furious when he found those (he doesn't know that Alain kept them), but she was so sweet and friendly that it made up for it in his eyes. They still traded magazines from time to time, Bulgarian Quidditch Monthly was coming out soon and no doubt Ms. Beauregard would have the first copy.

"So Alain, mon ami. Now that you got rid of Monsieur Jerk-Arse, you ready to get out there again?" she asked him. Alain shook his head.
"It's only been a week, Lie. I..I'm not ready and may not be again for a while...or ever." he said, getting a little sad again. Aurélie patted his back in apology as they walked.
"Well I'm going to find me a nice English stallion here I hope, or maybe a strong Durmstrang guy. My last relationship didn't work out." she shrugged. Alain laughed. "You're a slut." he said. "I know." she smiled back.


Calliope and Scorpius looked at Jasmine as she talked, she looked a bit nervous to be selected. "Its alright Has. if anybody deserves to be there it's you..although I don't imagine why you want to risk potential death though, just like I told Scorp. Well let's go, maybe we'll find some French boys, oo la la." Calli winked as she skipped off. Scorpius shook his head.
"Hell no, nah. The closest she's getting to French touching her skin is a new set of Parisian robes." Scorpius told Jasmine as try walked away.

Meanwhile Mariya had fallen asleep on the ship when all of a sudden the Russian girl felt it surface and they were suddenly jolted into the air, sailing along smoothly until they arrived at the shore where the castle was.
"Durmstrang castle much smaller, I bet Hogwart kids are wimps." Mariya said as she marched off the ship.
"Nyet Masha, looks comfy." a boy said, he had Mariya's blue eyes but a head full of dark hair, he looked a lot more relaxed and comfortable than his sister.
"Alyosha, you hang out with English too long, it rub off on you." she chided her brother.

[Tomia]

Henri couldn't help but roll his eyes as he heard Aurélie approach and begin to talk to Alain about guys. The two of them were a trouble making pair like Beauxbaton had never seen before. "Come on you two, they're having a feast for us, and headmistress would be mad if we were late. You'll have time to make your plans to kidnap some poor boy later." Henri half joked as they headed toward the great hall as a group.

Deiric climbed out of the hull of the ship with his fellow students, looming up at the large castle as his feet hit the flat surface of the land. The castle was quite large, and more deceive and fancy than their own castle, though Deiric thought it seemed more welcoming.

Jas couldn't help but chuckle at Scorpio's words as she chased after her two friends. The feast would be happening soon which Jas was happy about, she was starving after all. She went out and stood next to Calliope as the Beaubaxton arrived. "Well, they certainly wear colorful uniforms don't they?" Jas said to her best friend with a smile.

[Nuridia]

Alain rolled his eyes playfully at his brother and sauntered off into the castle behind his friends, looking back at Henri.
"Come on big brother, you'll miss all the blackberry tart!" he said with a laugh, his green eyes had regained some of their old sparkle and he was smiling genuinely. It seemed he had forgotten all about Augustin, at least for that moment.
"If you don't hurry, I'll drink firewhisky until I get dizzy." he teased, it seemed the little imp was back, his French accent lilting over the English he spoke.


"They sure do, I wonder how the boys feel wearing those girly uniforms though. Anyway, I wonder when Durmstrang will arrive, something about those North European boys is just...yummy. I mean French guys are cute, but a Russian or Swede or Bulgarian, the cold must do something to them, my God." Calli half joked to her friend as they went inside the feast hall where Augusta was already sitting with her parents and her brother Frank Longbottom. His dark blond hair fell over his forehead and his honey brown eyes shifted from his sister to his empty plate, he looked a bit nervous.

[Tomia]

Henri rolled his eyes in return at his brother's empty threat, soon catching up to him. "Take one sip of alcohol mister and I'll turn you into a wine glass." Henri half joked as the Beauxbatons entered the great hall where the Hogwarts students had already gathered.

The Durmstrang arrived soon after, marching in orderly rows as they entered the Great Hall. They wore their traditions furs and leathers, and Deiric was close to the front with the other 7th years. Once they made it to the front of the hall they began to disperse, heading off at groups to sit at the four avaliable tables. Deiric headed towards a mostly empty spot of the Slytherin table. He sat silently, waiting for the feast to begin.

[Nuridia]

Mariya and Alexei took a seat in the row across from the Beauxbatons table, Calliope and her brother slid into the Slytherin table, chatting all the while with each other. Calli saw a flash of red out of the corner of her eye and figured it must've been one of the Durmstrang kids, but she didn't get a good look at him.
Alain flopped down in a seat between his brother and Aurelie and when everybody was seated, the speech was given by the headmistress and the feast finally began.

[Tomia]

Henri was quite happy when the feast began and watched the food magically appear before him on the table. It wasn't the traditional French cuisine that he was used to, but it was still food and he was quite hungry. He couldn't but glance over at the large goblet sitting at the head of the room however. It had been revealed after the speech and was now sitting prominently and almost ominously in front of the professor's table. He tried to push it out of his mind though and continued to eat and chat with his brother and his friends.

Jas slid into the Slytherin table next to Calli, chatting with her friends when she saw a Durmstrang kid sitting by himself. He looked about her age, and he was quite tall and muscular. Jas nudged Calli a bit and gestured subtly towards him. "Hey, should we maybe invite him to sit with us? I mean, this tournament is supposed to be about making friends right?" Jas asked, as she began to eat.

[Nuridia]

Calli looked up, somewhat irritated when Jasmine nudged her and pointed to the Durmstrang boy across the table from them. She got a better look at him now, be was quite handsome and strong, a faint dusting of pink covered her cheeks before she swallowed it down and spoke.
"Maybe he wishes to be alone. Or perhaps he doesn't speak English, that's why. People who sit apart from everybody generally want to be alone. But I guess we can talk to him." Calliope stood up and followed her friend.

Alain was digging into some soup, roast chicken and blackberry pie, chatting with Henri when Aurelie nudged his side with her elbow.
"Al, big bad wolf at two o'clock." she whispered and the redhead turned and groaned inwardly at what he saw. A smugly handsome boy in a Beauxbatons uniform walked over to them, his sharp blue eyes trained on them and his black hair neatly combed.
"Allie, there you are. I've been looking for you!" he called out.

Alain put down his fork and picked up his wand. "Merde (Shit)! he swore before walking up, wand in hand.
"What do you want Augustin?" he growled, wand trained on him. Augustin had the nerve to look hurt.
"Why the hostility, chéri (darling), I just want to talk." he said, putting his hands up.
"About you breaking my heart or being a careless asshole? Fuck you, go back to where you came from and leave me the hell alone." he growled and walked away when he felt a hand on his wrist.
"I said, fuck off!" he nearly screeched, raising a fist to punch him but he caught it in his other hand.

[Tomia]

Jas smiled when Calli agreed to come with her and she lead her friend over to the lone Durmstrang nearby. When they reached him, she cleared her throat to get his attention. Deiric turned towards them slowly, his deep green eyes almost studying them. "Hey, I'm Jasmine, and this Calliope. We just thought, we'd introduce ourselves and welcome you to Hogwarts. So, what's your name?" She asked with a friendly smile.
Deiric was silent for a moment before speaking, "Deiric" He said simply, his thick Bulgarian accent clear. Jasmine paused for a moment, trying to pronounce the name right, "Well, De-rick, its nice to meet you. Would you like to come sit with us for dinner?"
Deiric thought about it before simply nodding in agreemnt. Jasmine smiled, "Cool, let's go then." She said as she lead Calli and her new friend back to their seats.

Henri never stopped glaring at Augustin when he approached, and at the sound of his brother yelling after he walked away Henri was about to get about when he saw some English boy from the Gryffindor table approach. He tabbed Augustin on the shoulder and looked at him with a friendly smile. "Hey mate, I think your friend here wants to be alone. What do you say you give him some space?" The boy asked in a friendly tone. What most people couldn't see was the boy's wand firmly pressed against Augustin's abdomen.

[Nuridia]

Alain wrenched his wand hand free and was about to curse Augustin to high heaven when all of a sudden a random English boy intervened. Augustin's smug smile wavered a bit but he kept it in place.
"I suggest you back off man, this is between me and my boyfriend, not you, oui?" he said, training his own wand on the newcomer. It gave Alain an opportubtu to get free and cast a Jelly-Legs Jinx, making the older boy slump to his knees.

Ex boyfriend to you, con(ass)! Or were you drunk when I dumped your ass last week! I'm not yours anymore, apparently I never was!" Alain shouted, face turning as red as his hair as he shouted himself hoarse.
Augustin's face softened.
"I do want you back, Al. I'm sorry I hurt you, we were good together. I see that now." he said. Alain was furious, he couldn't hold himself back and clocked the older boy square in the eye. The redhead had one hell of a right hook, it was well known.
"You should've thought of that before you cheated on me! My brother was right about you, go! Go away, I never want to see you again!" Alain was shaking with anger at this point and Augustin managed to haul himself up after he remembered the counter jinx.
"This isn't over Allie. And you..." he turned to the English boy, "Would do well to stay out of others' business, you don't want to get caught in the crossfire." he said before apparating away.

Furious tears welled up in Alain's eyes and he let out pained, furious sobs that were more like growls than sobs. He remembered the boy that had helped him and turned even redder, he was crying like a baby in front of all these strangers. Wiping them away and putting himself together as best he could, he turned to this strange wizard. Alain couldn't help but notice that he was handsome and oozed confidence, he seemed a bit of a flirt...just like Augustin...he thought, but the boy had helped him, no matter how embarrassing it was.
"Me...Merci. I had it 'andeled, but zank you." Alain choked out, his accent made thicker with the tears, anger and embarrassment in his voice. He fought the urge to cry, he would wait until he was alone.


Meanwhile Deiric had followed Jasmine and Calliope to their table, Calli decided to make the effort to talk to him even if he was a bit hard to understand.
"Hi, I'm Calliope Malfoy, as Jasmine already said, you may call me Calli though. It's nice to meet you Deiric. Are you here to enter the tournament, my brother is." she said, tucking a dark ringlet behind her ear as a nervous habit. She usually wasn't nervous around others before.

[Tomia]

Christian merely stood by and watched as Alain dealt with Augustin , not really too worried about the latter's threats. When Augustin was gone however Christian turned to Alain who was clearly upset and crying quietly. Christian merely pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and put it into Christian's hand. "Here, take it. And don't worry about Jerk boy, you dealt with him nicely. You said he was your ex-boyfriend? Sorry, I know how much break ups can suck. I'm Christian, by the way. It's nice to meet you." Christian said, trying to help the boy calm down. Henri soon came running over and put his arms around Alain, "Lutin? Are you okay? That wicked boy didn't hurt you did he?" Henri asked, glaring a bit at Christian as if he had done something wrong. The Gryffindor boy didn't seem phased though and merely stood by casually.

Deiric nodded at Calli's words, "Yez, I am entering da tournament. It is nize to meet you az well." He told the Slytherin girl. He watched her twirl her hair a bit. He noticed in that moment that she was quite pretty. "So, you two are in Slytherin houze?" He asked them.

[Nuridia]

Alain threw his arms around his brother and cried into his shoulder, he didn't see the glare thrown Christian's way but he did remember that Christian had introduced himself.
"I'm Alain, Alain Auguste, known as Al to some. My friends call me Lutin, the imp. Henri, this is Christian, he helped me out with Augustin. Christian, this is my older brother Henri." Alain said, turning to look at Christian when he got cleaned up. The older boy had helped but everything from his eyes to his somewhat cocky smile all reminded him of Augustin and it made him wary when he felt that pang in his heart.

"Yeah, we're in Slytherin House. I guess all the people who wanna compete will go put their names in the goblets soon. So Deiric, where are you from, your accent...is something I can't place. I was born at home, it's a tradition." Calli said.

[Tomia]

Henri hugged his brother tightly, "It's okay Alain, I'm here for you. That jerk won't hurt you anymore." Henri told his younger brother, rubbing his back softly to comfort him. After all of that, Christian nodded when Alain spoke to him, "Well, its nice to meet you Alain. I hope you feel better soon. French boys are prettier when they smile." He said, trying to lighten the mood a bit. "I'll leave you two alone now, but if you'd like to join me at Gyffindor table at any point, just come on over." Christian said before waving goodbye and walking away.

"I'm from Bulgaria, a zmall village called Beuster." Deiric told Calli when she asked. "Yez, headmaster said we would get to put our names in the cup starting tonight. I am eager to put my name in da cup." He told her and Jas. Jas then spoke up to continue the conversation, "So did your parents go to Durmstrang?" She asked curiously. Deiric's face suddenly got dark and he looked down a bit, averting his eyes. "No zey didn't." He said, still not looking at the two girls.

[Nuridia]

"I hope not. Thank you, frére. I did not want to get you involved, I wanted to fight my own battle. I did not want to appear weak." He kissed Henri on both cheeks as people in France tend to do when displaying affection. He heard Christian's words and a red flush flooded into his cheeks before he cleared his throat.
"Well, thank you again." he told Christian before stiffly going back to his food.
Aurelie had been patting his shoulder when Alain sat back down to his plate, going back to his pie. Blackberry had always been his favorite but even it couldn't seem to cheer him up.

"He was very handsome, non? So Lutin, are you going to go over to ze lion's den and give your brave knight a kiss? It is tradition after all, according to ze fairy tales. How romantic would that be?" The young witch put a hand over her heart and sighed.

Alain shook his head. "He is very handsome, and he helped me when he did not have to. I am thankful but his manner, he had his fangs out the whole time, he is too much like Augustin. He looks like he eats hearts for breakfast, I will not go through zat again. And Henri, last time I did not listen to his judgement I ended up with ze devil." Alain said, sipping his soup forlornly.


Meanwhile Calliope listened to Jasmine and Deiric talk until his eyes darkened at the mention of his parents not going to Durmstrang.
"What's wrong with that, I mean they could've went to some other school. It doesn't have to be Durmstrang." Calliope said confused. Then she remembered, Durmstrang was the only magic school in Northern Europe, maybe they went to a foreign school? No, he wouldn't be so down about it then. What was it, were his parents Squibs? Or was he...a Muggle-born. That explained everything.
Suddenly the headmistress announced it was time for contestants to submit their names. Mariya stood up with a row of Durmstrang students and walked up to the cup, right by the Beauxbatons table.

[Tomia]

Henri, pulled his brother into a hug before they sat down again. "You're not weak Lutin. No one thinks that at all. You mean a lot to me, and all your friends, and we want to help you when we can." He then sat down and continued eating, hearing his brother and his friend speaking about the bot who had stood up to Agustine. He was about to strongly tell Alain that he was to stay away from that boy, but Alain beat him to it, and Henri smiled. "That's a smart move bro, but you don't have to shut yourself out completely. Just remember what I said, find someone who respects you and wants to make you happy." Henri said, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder. Then 7th year students were called to put their names in the Goblet of Fire Henri smiled and winked at his brother before standing up, writing his name on a piece of paper, and dropping it into the flaming cup at the center of the great hall. As he turned around he accidentally bumped into a girl behind him, she had read hair and looked like she was from Durmstrang, "Pardon me, my apologizes" He told the girl in his French accent.

Deiric wasn't sure how to answer Calliope's question. It was clear that in England muggles and muggle-borns weren't treated with nearly as much hostility as in Bulgaria. Before he was able to respond he heard the call for willing contestants of the tournament to step forward. "Excuze me, I must go." Deiric said, standing up to go and was soon followed by Jasmine who smiled at Calli before heading up and dropping her name in the goblet as well.

[Nuridia]

"But what if I end up falling for the demon again?" Alain whispered, against his better judgement he already wondered where Christian was. He did look nicer and sweeter than Augustin, but too much of that player was in there. He couldn't help his eyes drifting over to the Gryffindor table however but he looked away.

Meanwhile Mariya had gone to put her name in the cup along with all the other contestanta when all of a sudden somebody bumped into her.
"Hey wimp, watch where you go...." she said in her thick Russian accent before turning around and seeing Henrik there. He looked like a fop, obviously French, maybe gay. Either way, he was the wimpiest, prettiest boy she had ever seen. Probably couldn't handle himself in a fight. But she wasn't here to make enemies.
"Well, I guess it okay, be more careful next time." she said, placing her name in the cup before turning around.

[Tomia]

Herni frowned at Mariya's words when she called him a wimp. The tall redhead was clearly looking down at him, and Henri didn't like it at all. He may have had a bit of a feminine appearance, but that didn't mean that he was a push over. "Hey, I said I was sorry no need to insult me. You don't have to be so rude." Henri told her, holding his ground firmly as he stared at the girl who was walking away.

Meanwhile Christian was sitting over at the Gryffindor table with his friends, laughing and having a good time as they ate together. Christian found himself glancing over at the table that Aldain was sitting at. He wasn't too surprised that the boy hadn't joined him, he didn't seem too interested after all. Usual Christian would just shrug his shoulders and forget about it, but the scene he had run into with the French boy and his ex boyfriend intrigued Christian and he found his mind occasionally drifting back to Alain.

Mariya had already gone to the table with her other classmates and so either didn't hear or completely ignored what Henri was saying. Alain got up from his table and rushed over to him.
"Big brother? Is there something wrong, did somebody make you upset?" Alain demanded, getting pissed himself.
Meanwhile Calliope looked up at the clock. "Holy shit sticks Jas, it's nearly curfew. We gotta go, it was nice to meet you Deiric." she added quickly before turning around to hide her blush, her black curls whipping around as she did. If one could see the Malfoy kids standing together, they'd be the exact opposite in looks.

Henri didn't like that he was being ignored and was about to follow the girl when Alain suddenly came up to him. Henri was shook out of his rage a bit and merely sighed at his brother's question. "It's nothing lutin, just some rude girl from Durmstrang. I overreacted." Henri ensured his little brother. "Now come on, it's late and I believe we are supposed to be in bed soon. We haven't even checked out our new rooms yet." Henri said with a smile before leading Alain out of the great hall toward the Beauxbaton sleeping quarters.

Meanwhile Jasmine nodded to her best friend when she returned to the table, "Ya it was nice to meet you." She told Deiric before heading upstairs with Calli. Deiric gave them a small wave as they headed off, seeing Calli blush slightly but thought nothing of it in the moment as he headed back toward the ship with the other Durmstrang students.
