Chapter 1: Going Back to England
2nd October 1977- 7th Year
Madeleine Grace Potter looked out of the Beauxbatons carriage as it landed in the Hogwarts grounds. It had been five years since she had last been in England as she transferred to the magical school in France after the accident that happened in the beginning of 2nd year that still haunted her to this day.
The head mistress of beauxbatons Madame DuPont called in French,
"Nous sommes arrivés, le temps de briller (We have arrived, time to shine)." There was a chorus of "d'accord" (okay). The door of the carriage was opened by the Hogwarts residents half giant grounds keeper Rubeus Hagrid
"Welcome to Hogwarts, go through to the great hall entrance and Dumbledore will introduce you as well as the other schools."
The beauxbatons students got out of the carriages and followed Madeleine through the grounds and to the entrance of the great hall. The site brought back lots of terrible memories but Madeleine brushed her eyes free of tears so that he other schools, Durmstrang and ilvermorny couldn't see her in a state of weakness to use against her or any of her class mates.
Sirius Black's eyes followed a blue haired girl as she took the students of beauxbatons into the school, he nudged his fellow marauder.
"I recognise that girl from somewhere but I can't quite remember where," James looked in the direction that his honorary brother was pointing and as her saw her face he was gobsmacked at how much his little sister had grown up in the five years that he hadn't seen her.
"That's because, mate that's my little sis, Maddie you know she left at the start of second you because of the incident..."
"Wow, just wow she grew up super ho..."
"If you finish that sentence, I will punch you." Sirius said no more but he stayed looking at the spot in which the former Ravenclaw had taken her current class mates.
The other schools soon arrived in different ways, the ilvermorny students arrived on broomsticks and the durmstrang students arrived by ship in the black lake. Once all three foreign schools had arrived the Hogwarts children where instructed to sit inside the hall and wait for the schools to be introduced.
Finally the time came and Dumbledore stood at his podium to introduce the first school.
"Please welcome the students of Durmstang and their headmaster Desislav Bakalov"
The Durmstrang students entered the hall following their headteacher and they did tricks with their staffs and shot out flames. The female population where staring at the male Bulgarians and the males had looks of jealousy plastered to their faces.
"The lovely students of ilvermorny and their esteemed headmistress Connie Adair"
The Americans entered wearing their normal uniforms but riding the broomsticks that they had arrived in Scotland on.
"And finally please welcome the beautiful ladies of beauxbatons and their amazing head professor Madame Marie DuPont." The great hall doors opened for the last time and the students, that where mostly part veela started to do there entrance routine.
At the back of the group the blue haired girl was doing multiple gymnastic and tumbling tricks. She slyly winked at the Hufflepuff table, but she continued her routine as if nothing had happened. She arrived at the front of the hall with the rest of the foreign students and stood next to a class mate of hers, Nadeen Moreau.
Dumbledore walked up to his lectern and said,
"We, the students and staff of Hogwarts would like to welcome you to our castle for the next six months whilst the multischool games commences. The rules for the games have been decided between the schools and students above the age of 16 I.e all of sixth year and seventh year and a minority of fifth year, each school needs two participants a female and male representative. The chosen eight students will be picked on the 1st of December. Now students of Hogwarts we will sing our school song
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether 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."
The song finished and the guest schools where still standing at the front of the hall in shock.
"Durmstrang please can you sit at the Slytherin house table for dinner, Ilvermorny please sit at the Gryffindor house table and Beauxbatons you can spread yourselves out on the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables so that there's enough room. May the feast begin!"
Most of the Beauxbatons students decided to sit at the Hufflepuff table as they had heard from the former Hogwarts student, that was the house she used to be apart of and it gave her bad memories. Unfortunately for Madeleine the table order was, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw then Slytherin so she had to sit near her brother and his troublesome friends.
Luck was not on her side as it happened that the seat she chose directly faced the person that she was glad didn't go to Beauxbatons, the notorious heart breaker Sirius Black, who just happened to be her brothers best friend.
"Hey, James your sisters over there," stated Sirius.
"Pads, don't do anything that you'll later regret, or that will affect the whole group."
Sirius looked down at the aray of food in front of him his eyes scanning carefully over each piece. Finally, he decided that a bread roll was his object of choice. He aimed and he hit the blue haired girl, who was currently laughing at one of her friends jokes, on the head. She looked up and searched who threw the roll before her glaring eyes settled on a rather pale Sirius Black.
"Oh dear..."
"Yeah 'oh dear', mate it looks as if you've awoken 'kraken mode.'"
