Chapter Two – Welcome to Hogwarts
Translation from french
Hogwarts Great Hall
Tony Potter tucked into a slice of Chocolate cake before looking over at the staff table. Dumbledore was in deep conversation with his father, James Potter whilst his mother was in a debate with Flitwick over Charms development. Professor McGonagall watches the students carefully as they ate and chat about the upcoming Triwizard tournament and who was going to be the champion for Hogwarts. Tony snorted at the thought. "Of course, It was going to be him, the boy who lived. Who else?"
All the chat died as the doors opened to a black phoenix flying into the hall. Dumbledore instantly got on his feet as the Phoenix dropped until it started to transform into a human body. A boy with messy black hair which covered part of his face, blue robes fell to the floor and ran up to the staff table. He had a white wand out and several rips in his robes. "Dumbledore. I need to see Dumbledore Now!" yelled the boy. Everyone in the hall was silent as he approached the table.
"I'm Albus Dumbledore. Who are you?" said Dumbledore drawing the boy's attention.
"I'm Santiago Torres. Our transport has been attack by unknown forces. We've crashed a hundred miles from here. I'm with the Beauxbatons Academy." Said Santiago brushing the hair out of his face to send the hall into murmurs. "We have several injured. We'll need healers." Dumbledore, James Potter, Sirius Black, Lily Potter, Mad-Eye Moody and Severus Snape then got down from the staff table and joined Santiago as he exits the hall and headed for the edge of the boundaries. Dumbledore walked beside Santiago Torres with the others behind him.
"What happened in details?" asked Dumbledore.
"I was talking with my friends when one of our horses was hit by something. A black light. It died before the curse spread to our other horses and they died too. We then lost height and crashed landed in a forest. After everyone struggled out of the carriage, we were under attack from several directions. Our headmistress then told me to fly to Hogwarts and get you and help. I then transformed and flew to here." Said Santiago
"How long have you been an Animagus?" asked Dumbledore.
"Ten." Stated Santiago ignoring the surprise look on everyone's face. Once they got beyond the border, Santiago then transformed back into a phoenix and motioned to everyone to touch part of his body. He then activated the flaming ability of a phoenix and transported them to the crash site.
The sight was awful. The carriage had shattered whilst several students shifted through the wreckage. Everyone scattered to help the injured or in Santiago's case, sneak over to a blond head girl. "How are you, Honey?" asked Santiago, causing Alica to jump.
"Prat. Have you still got it?"asked Alica in french. Santiago looked about before pulling a blue hilt of a sword out of his pocket along with a mirror. "Master would like to hear from both of us later. We need to tell the others that they have done well. No one is badly injured and Dumbledore won't suspect a thing."
"I still hate the fact I have to do this mission. Why can we just break in, steal what we need and get back to the hideout." Whispered Santiago.
"You know that we need spys in camps. If we both get into the order of phoenix when the dark lord rises, then we would have an advantage." Whispered back Alica. "Plus we need to get on the seer's good side."
"Don't worry about the seer. Her parents don't pay any attention to her along with her slime of a brother. I think that I should be able convince her to listen to me. After all, her long lost brother coming back just for her will be nice." Said Santiago.
Sirius Black then walked up to the pair. Alica's smile then disappeared at the sight of him. "Dumbledore made several portkeys. If you would come this way. Hang on." Said Sirius recognized Alica and Santiago from the world cup. Santiago simply pulled Alica forward gently.
Half an hour
Santiago and Alica were surrounded by autograph hunters as they attempted to enter the great hall. "Please One at a time." Said Santiago forcing a smile onto his face. It amuses him that most of the autograph hunters were mostly girls around him whilst most of the boys hung around Alica. Every time, the girl who he just signed slips of paper flirted with him. "Ladies, please. My fiancée over there and I doubt she'll be please. I'm here for a while so please let me go." The autographers moaned as Santiago rescued Alica from the mob and escorted her into the hall. Most of their school friends were at the Hufflepuff table.
"Had fun?" asked Alica's best friend who was called Cat. Short for Catherine. Santiago's best friend, Lucas, was digging into several types of food. He nodded in their direction.
"Sometimes I wish I never won the World Cup." muttered Santiago before noticing several boys beside them. "Who are your friends?"
One of the boys extended a hand which Santiago took. "My name is Cedric Diggory. These are-" started Cedric before Dumbledore took to the stand.
"I welcome the Visiting Schools and I'm sorry for Beauxbatons Academy as they were attacked by unknown forces. Now as their carriage and would be home for the next few months have been destroyed, The Hogwarts staff have opened its doors for the Beauxbatons Students. As there are eight male students and eight females, we've set aside a wing on the third floor. However on to the more pressing matters. The Triwizard Tournament. The Champion from each school will be selected by a impartial judge. The Goblet of Fire. Anyone who wishes to enter as a champion has to put their name down and chuck it into the flames before midnight tomorrow. However the Minstry of Magic had put an age gap on the Champions' age, which I will see carried out. Anyone below the age of seventeen cannot compete."
The uproar ensures took several minutes to calm before Dumbledore dismissed the hall. Alica and Santiago then slipped away into the night.
