"Well, zat iz all." Madame Maxime finished.
The group stared at her, and just nodded. Fleur smiled, "Well, they seem to understand ze rules very will. It iz not too much different from 'Ogwarts."
It was true. The rules were basically the same as Hogwarts. You could not be out after hours, and if you were a 'naughty lil student' you got detention. Simple enough right?
Also the Houses of Beauxbatons were explained very clearly. Malin was a house dedicated to the French Royal Family who attended Beauxbatons hundreds of years ago. It was meant for those who had many deep and hidden secrets. Amical was a separate house for those who were very outgoing and made many friends. It was based on, not a person, but friendship. Finally, Vaillant was the house for those who would do anything for others. It was based on the young princess of England who lived several hundred years ago. Her name was unknown though and she was only a legend.
Madame Maxime smiled at her new students, "Please try your best while you go to school 'ere. I will be sure zat ze Francais won't be too difficult. I will be sure zat ze three prefects will 'elp translate ze work, or at least most of it. Katrina will be your prefect if you are in Amical. Felicity will be your prefect if you are in Vaillant. And Jacques if you are in Malin. I 'ope you enjoy your time 'ere at Beauxbatons! Now off to ze feast!"
Hermione, Draco, Pansy, Ron, Harry, and Ginny walked together and followed Fleur and Madame Maxime down the corridors of Beauxbatons. Ever since the students stepped foot inside the school they were amazed. Fleur was not joking when she said how grand the school was. The walls were adorned in gold and silver. It was also lit up inside, and there was no armor anywhere. There was no poltergeist either, as Fleur so kindly mentioned.
The Great Hall was even grander. There were waiters who would serve courses of gourmet food. Also the Great Hall had a live orchestra who would play lovely music while the students ate. The Great Hall was filled with beautiful flower decorations, and the ceiling seemed to stretch up to the heavens.
Hermione smiled, "It's so romantic."
Pansy and Ginny agreed. The boys were trying hard not to gag at her remark. Fleur sighed, "Well, zis way. To ze front of ze hall."
The group followed her and Madame Maxime to the very center of the Great Hall. Hermione looked over her shoulder and she could see Felicity, sitting alone and absorbed in a book. Hermione also saw Katrina talked lively to a huge group of friends. Finally Hermione saw Jacques leaned down and whispering to another girl.
Madame Maxime cleared her throat loudly. All the students turned their heads to the center of the Great Hall. Madame Maxime grinned, "Students of Beauxbatons. Ze new students 'ave arrived. Make them feel as welcome as possible s'il vous plait!"
All the students looked up with excitement. They always loved it when new people arrived. Fleur grinned and whispered, "Whatever 'ouse you are in, you should be proud. Each 'ouse has produced ze most incredible wizards and witches. I 'ope you enjoy yourselves!"
Madame Maxime sighed, "'Ere we go! First things first. How about we start with 'arry Potter."
Harry walked up to Madame Maxime. He did not feel as nervous as he was when being sorted into Hogwarts. He did not really care what house he was sorted into. Maxime examined Harry closely. She seemed to be staring into his very soul. Finally she sighed, "You are going to be in Amical."
Harry smiled, and Maxime pointed in the direction of the table where Katrina was sitting at. Katrina waved frantically for Harry to sit next to her. Harry slowly went over to the table, avoiding Ginny's glare.
Maxime grinned, "Next how about Pansy."
Pansy walked up to Maxime. She did the same exact thing to Pansy as she did to Harry. Finally she said, "I will put you in Malin."
Pansy walked over to Jacques table. Jacques grinned broadly, as though happy another girl joined his table. Pansy smirked and sat next to Jacques in an attempt to piss Ron off.
Maxime smiled, "Oh, zis iz going so well. Next how about Ginny."
Ginny went up to Maxime, and Maxime said, "Amical."
Hermione became overcome will giggles as Ginny stormed over to where Harry was sitting. Katrina frowned as she made room for Ginny at the table. Maxime sighed, "How about Draco?"
Draco scowled and approached Madame Maxime. She smiled and said very quickly, "Vaillant."
Draco smirked and strutted over to the Vaillant table. Maxime grinned, "How about Ron?"
Maxime placed Ron in Vaillant along with Draco. It would be very amusing to see how they got along. Finally Maxime said "'Ermione?"
Hermione smiled and went up to Madame Maxime. Maxime took one quick glance at Hermione and muttered, "Malin."
Hermione felt a surge of disappointment. She wanted to be in the same house as Draco, maybe to get some 'alone time', but Hermione walked over to Malin table and sat between Pansy and Jacques. Madame Maxime bowed and the feast continued.
~*~*~*~*~
Draco glared over at the Malin table. What was that kook of a Headmaster thinking when she put HIS girlfriend in the same house as the school player! What was she thinking? Ron was obviously thinking the exact same thing. Draco clenched his fists and whispered to Ron, "So what do you think Weasley? We are in the same house, and our girlfriends are with the school's male stripper? What to you think of that?"
Ron grumbled, "It is no picnic being stuck with you Malfoy, but maybe we can make sure that Jacques character stays away from our girls."
Draco smirked, "You mean like we pull a practical joke on him or something. Because if your plan deflates his ego, you know I am all for it."
~*~*~*~*~
Ginny glared at Katrina kept flirting with Harry right to her face. Katrina laughed and batted her long black eyelashes, "So 'Arry do you plan on kicking zis nasty old wizards arse of what? I know you could defeat anything if you put your mind to it, mon ami."
Harry found himself bushing even though Ginny was right there. Harry could not help but gaze into Katrina's huge emerald eyes. Ginny felt as though life was not fair. ~ This chick Katrina better stop coming on too strong or else she is dead! ~
~*~*~*~*~
Hermione flinched as Jacques put his arm around her and Pansy. She did not even want to see what Draco was doing right now. He would most likely be pissed. Hermione looked over at Pansy instead. Pansy unlike Hermione was enjoying the attention. Pansy figured that if Ron was allowed to flirt then she was too! Hermione put on a fake smile and she heard Jacques whisper, "I can't wait to show you beauties around."
~This is going to be a long year. ~ Hermione thought.
Well, that is all of chapter 4! Anyway, if the French stuff IS TOO confusing, please let me know and I will tune it down a bit. LOL I am just showing off my French!
