I felt suddenly excited as i stepped into the carriages next to Renee and Gabby, the twins. This was the year of the Triwizard Tournament; I wondered if I would be brave enough to enter, I let my thoughts wander in my mind. I zoned out as I looked out the window watching as we left the ground and into the air, not listening to Renee and Gabby's endless chit chat. They were the only two I really spoke to at Beauxbatons, being from Scotland and English being my only language. They both were American, so we travelled quite a bit to get to school, but it was definitely worth it. "Want one?" Gabby asked, interrupting my thoughts. "Na, I'm cool thanks" I said pulling my piece an jam from my bag, It looking slightly deformed. We laughed and started talking about Hogwarts. "I'm just glad everyone speaks English over there, it'll be a nice change'
"True that" Renee said as she brushed her long blonde hair, I was always jealous of how pretty the twins were. Right enough, being at Beauxbatons a school full of beautiful witches, I did feel very small and self-conscious. "So are you hoping to find a strapping young man on our journey to this distant land?" I asked, giving the twins a cheeky grin.
"I sure hope so." Gabby said, she was always telling me about her American boys. I was unlucky in that department, I hadn't ever kissed anyone. This is pretty gutting considering I'm sixteen this year. But I guess I can lay it down to the fact that I go to an all-girls school, I thought, trying to cut myself some slack.
The rest of the journey went by quickly as we endlessly chatted about Hogwarts, what we thought it would be like, if we would enter into the Triwizard Tournament, and about the Durmstrangs. After travelling around two hours, our magical journey came to an end as the carriages swooped down along the water and the side of Hogwarts castle. The three of us were in complete awe as we saw the students, hundreds of them, looking up at our carriages, clapping and cheering. The castle looked magnificent. We slid over to the other side of the carriage to look out the other window, where and enchanted boat came from underneath the water. "Durmstrangs" Renee, Gabby and I said in unison.
"Wow…I'm kinda nervous." I said as our carriage finally came to a halt on the ground. I ruffled my hair, adding a little more volume to it, and fixed my uniform so it was sitting correctly and looked tidy. Renee and Gabby did the same as we stepped from the carriage. I inhaled a deep breath of fresh air, I smelt the grass, trees and…food. I really could go some food, that sandwich didn't do all I had hoped. I sighed, and walked to where a group of my fellow students were. I shabby looking man, with longish greasy hair was standing, holding a tabby cat. "This way" He said in a shaky voice, I followed the group of girls, and we travelled through the grounds, and into the main door. It felt homely, which is weird, considering how large the castle is. We stood at still once we reached another pair of closed doors, there was a speech going on. Albus Dumbledore, was actually going to be in the same room as me, a shot of electricity ran through me, making me excited for the year we were going spend here. "Get ready girls" Madame Maxime spoke, her strong French accent instantly noticeable. We all started getting into our positions for out entrance, thankfully was in the second back row, so hopefully no one would notice me. The doors swung open.
"Beauxbatons Academy." Dumbledore exclaimed. .
