Harry had never had such a hectic day at Hogwarts. It was worse than the first time the 2 schools came. They had weeks to prepare, and apparently no one at Hogwarts except Dumbledore had known who was coming. Their days were filled with comments from teachers;
"Longbottom, please do not attempt any spells in front of Mantacorea"
"Potter, don't you ever brush you hair?"
"Miss Patil, Please wear your hair up tomorrow. No one from Beauxbatons wears their like that"

And so on all day. By the end of the day Ron had tallied how many comments each school had got. "Okay, Beauxbatons gave us 7, Durmstrang 11 and Mantacorea an outstanding 35 comments. They make them all seem like gods. I mean they should all be jealous of Hogwarts. Our school is the best!" Ron said as he watched Hermione and Harry play a game of Wizards' Chess, where Harry was losing horribly.

"Really, Ron they make the biggest deal about Mantacorea. I bet their going to be perfect. I mean, all full of themselves and thinking their better than everyone else." Harry said as he moved his knight. He had given up any hope of talking to Sarah. He had found out so far that he parents were dead. He had thought it might be nice to just meet her. But the way everyone was acting she'd probably not even look at him, let alone listen to him.

Professor McGonagall entered the Great Hall and gestured for all the students to come outside. Once again they were put in row as they waited for the students to arrive. Harry was getting hungry. He let his attention wander over the ground and was stunned to see groups of huts grouped around the lake. He studied them and realized they must be the living quarters for the school that would be staying with them. He looked over at Ron and Hermione to see if they noticed this but they both were nervously fixing their hair and pointing out faults in each others appearance. Harry rolled his eyes. Obviously they both were counting on seeing Fleur and Krum tonight.

"Look!" Yelped a first year. Amazement and wonder filled her voice and Harry searched the crowd to see who had said it. It was that girl Janessa. Harry looked up to see the Durmstrang ship rising out of the lake. The ship shone gold and bore no resemblance to the skeleton they had' had last time. The whole Durmstrang school filed out and Harry was stunned at the number of students. He'd half expected only to see the same students as last time. But that was ridicules, that had only been the older students. Now their was easily 400 students more than Hogwarts.

A brown-haired man walked forward and shook Dumbledore's hand. "Good Evening. I am Professor Marcus. New Headmaster of Durmstrang." His smile was large and mysterious, and unlike Karkaroff reached his eyes. His large build gave his a friendly appearance but Harry wouldn't doubt that the students were still being taught the dark arts.

"Has the Beauxbatons arrived yet?" when Dumbledore shook his head Professor Markus
turned around and yelled. "INTO LINES! WE WILL WAIT OUTSIDE FOR OUR FELLOW STUDENTS" The students automatically consented to wait quietly for the other two schools.

Once again it was Janessa who saw the next school first "Would you look at that!" She yelped pointing in the sky. Harry was filled with wonderment as seven large carriages landed, and the students filed out. A young woman who held a great likeness to Madam Maxine but very smaller walked up to Dumbledore and Marcus shaking their hands confidently. She smiled easily with pride and her voice echoed when she spoke. "Professor Dumbledore, Thank you for welcoming us to Hogwarts. I am Madam Maxine's cousin, Caroline. Please just call me Madam Caro. Is we use Maxine we'll all get confused. Olympe is still out on business with Hagrid. I am her stand in till she returns"

Dumbledore smiled and said easily "Caroline, I think you the best possible stand in. I'll have someone come and take care of you horses. Were all just waiting for Mantacorea to arrive. Will you go in or wait with us?" Dumbledore's voice held a extreme respect in it and Madam Caro nodded at her students to line up before standing beside Dumbledore. A few of her student shivered and she snapped at them easily " I told you it would be cold"

Hermione leaned over to Harry and Ron "She was Dumbledore's sister. I heard they were Best Friends. She went to Mantacorea and he to Hogwarts but they stayed close. I am pretty sure she was the youngest child and he was the oldest." Hermione whispered and Harry studied the woman with new respect. However Ron was confused. "You said she WAS Dumbledore' sister. How can she not be anymore? Aren't they still brother and sister?" Harry listened in. That confused him too. "Well you all know Dumbledore is the oldest of 10 children right?" Hermione asked and Harry and Ron shook their heads. "Well he is. Caroline is the youngest of a set of triplets. The three of them were her mothers last born. I believe their names were Caroline, Darcy and Evan. Caroline was very protective about her twins. Darcy was a kind of light, girlish. You know the type." Hermione jerked her head at Patil with a snicker.

"And Evan was smart in a creative sense. He had brains but wasn't that hands on. He liked to paint and do artistic stuff. His loved creating new spells and was really quiet. Caroline was always taking care of the brother and sister. But she also spent tons of time with Professor Dumbledore all the time. He was the only one who didn't look at her as a child and she didn't have to protect. They grew so close. He would take her everywhere and she amused him with jokes and challenged him with idea's. When she went Mantacorea she became even more close to her brother and sister, and the distance strangely improved her and Professor Dumbledore's relationship. Her and her twins graduated and became Headmasters of Mantacorea.

"Then when Voldemort lost his powers to you Harry, Evan was accused of being a Death Eater. It was a Bad time for them. In the end Dumbledore gave evidence that Evan was one. She disowned him in a way. She refuses to admit their related. In her mind family sticks together. It didn't help that Evan was killed and when Caroline was just beginning to forgive her brother evidence came in that Evan had never been a Death Eater. It destroyed them.
"She's in the Ministry of Magic. Somewhat of a Lawyer. She protects people so if their isn't enough good proof they aren't killed." Hermione shook her head sadly. "Who's the Headmaster now?" Ron asked interested. "Still Darcy I hear. Caroline makes sure Darcy doesn't ruin it or anything like that but otherwise she can't stand it there. Too many memories."
Harry looked up at the Headmasters. Madam Caro was talking easily to Professor Marcus and Harry was sure he saw Dumbledore glance at them with a tear in his eyes. Harry wondered if he regretted what he had done. Maybe he had even Cried over it. Harry didn't know. All he knew is that for the third time that night he heard Janessa yell out "Look at that!" Ron leaned over and muttered in Harry's ear "enthusiastic isn't she?" Harry grinned and searched the sky till he saw what Janessa was exclaiming over.
And he knew why she was shocked.
