Ch. 2 Glances
Clarissa, along with every other student in Hogwarts was sitting with her table, anticipating Dumbledore's news.
"I heard that we're getting new transfer students.." Lavender Brown told her best friend Parvati Patil.
"I heard their canceling the Quidditch season.." Seamus Finnigan told his friend Lee Jordan
Clarissa rolled her eyes,
"They're probably just going to tell us Filch's new list of regulations.." Clarissa thought "That's what they do every year. Filch discovers some odd wizarding toy that'll create havoc and bans it from Hogwarts" she noted.
Dumbledore finally stood up and started, "Welcome to our new year at Hogwarts..."
----
Draco continued picking at his food while Dumbledore spoke, laughing every once in a while at some stupid thing Blaise Zambini had done across the table, but once he heard:
"This year, we will not have the Quidditch season.."
The whole school looked up and gasped;
"NO QUIDDITCH?!" Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, George Weasley, and Fred Weasley gasped
"Bloody hell!" the whole Slytherin team gasped as well.
"Well then, there goes my whole mummie joke thing then" Draco noted "That wasn't that great of an idea anyway"
----
Matt sat there, flabbergasted, "No. Quidditch." He repeated in his head.
"No bloody way." He heard his friend and teammate Alex Riese whisper.
Dumbledore continued;
"In place of our Quidditch Matches, we are going to be conducting a very prestigious tournament."
"A tournament?" Cedric Diggory whispered Matt's way.
"This tournament is called the Triwizard Tournament. Three wizards will participate. But, there are rules. You must be at least 17 years of age."
"17!? Bloody hell, my 17th birthdays in July" He heard a Ravenclaw say
Dumbledore gestured toward the goblet, "If you meet the requirements, you can put your name in the cup. There is an age line, and even if you try an aging charm, you won't be able to get past it."
----
Helena sat there, still surprised that they were canceling the Quidditch season for this.
"Damn, this sucks" she told Cimorene, she didn't expect an answer, and she didn't get one.
"I wish I could enter" she thought
Dumbledore continued, "If you caught "Triwizard" you will understand that since we are hosting the tournament, students from both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will be coming to participate"
Helena's mouth dropped open. "Oh. No."
----
Corin sat there, next to Necia, surprised.
"No Quidditch, Durmstrang's coming. I bet Helena's happy." Necia whispered in Corin's ear
"Oh you know it," Corin whispered back
Dumbledore continued explaining the Tournament's history and added that the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would be coming on Halloween day.
"Ah, well this is gonna be interesting." Necia continued "Adam's a seventh year at Durmstrang, no doubt he'll be here"
"Yep, this also means that Helena's gonna be even more nervous." Corin added "And no quidditch! What's Helena gonna live on?"
"Hatred?" Necia laughed
----
Halloween night came way faster than anyone expected, and before everyone knew it, they were standing out side, anticipating the arrival of the schools.
"Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap." Helena said over and over again.
Corin laughed a bit "Look at Helena, she's a complete mess."
"Aww, poor Helena, she's probably going crazy right now. After all, her ex- boyfriend is probably coming to her school tonight." Necia said back
"Yeah." Corin answered
----
Clarissa watched as a large carriage landed from the sky. It was pale blue. Clarissa automatically knew it was from Beauxbatons. She rolled her eyes. "They always do everything so extravagant." She thought.
Clarissa watched as the doors to the carriage opened, and an abundance of French students poured out. She recognized most of them from when she went to try Beauxbatons last Holiday break. They were really very nice, and never mean to her...probably because she knew the language they spoke and she was half veela.
She saw some of her friends that she had met during her holiday, they said hello and smiled, and she smiled back and waved. The student's at Beauxbaton's weren't exactly ones to hug.
----
Durmstrang arrived shortly after Beauxbatons, in a large boat. Helena fumbled with her clothes to make sure she looked just right incase Adam was there. They walked down towards the castle in a parade-like manner.
All the Slytherin's noted that Viktor Krum was leading the parade. Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode nearly fainted at the sight of him.
Helena rolled her eyes "What the hell? He's not even cute." She thought
Then she saw him. Adam Kurstinakov.
----
Adam walked along next to his good friend Olga, looking quite bored.
"Hogwarts is so dull compared to Durmstrang." He hissed through a smile.
"Yeah..." she said back
He looked around, "I wonder if Helena's here.." he thought. Then he saw her, looking more beautiful than ever. Staring right into his face. Once they caught each other's glance, Helena left the crowd.
"Well I suppose I deserved that" he thought aloud
"What??" Olga questioned
"Nothing."
