Chapter 84
The Arrival of Beauxbatons
The headmaster announced the morning of October 1st, that the students from the other schools would be arriving over the next couple of days. All the houses are expected to line up in their house orders outside the castle to greet them when they arrive. Beaxbatons will be arriving first tomorrow, so classes were canceled for the day and the next couple of them for the weekend was coming up.
The students were excited about the upcoming arrival of the other schools. Harry and the gang went down to the Forbidden Forest to visit with Lightning and her herd to tell them about what was going to be happening over the next couple of days. They spent the day with the herd of Unicorns and with telling them about their trip to Hawaii, and meeting up with the group of Unicorn's over there.
Lightning was telling them about what was going on with the other groups around the forest area, and how that they were finally accepted into the lair of the Unicorns around here. The herds were combined, and was one big family unit. They gathered around and were accepted into the unit as one and all. They were recognized as Unicorn Friends for all the Forbidden Forest. They left the forest with smiles on their faces, and a song in their hearts.
The next day found them with their respective houses outside the castles front doors after dinner that day. They were a bit nervous of the people that they were going to be meeting this day, and found that they were all going to be interested in finding where they would be staying at the school. They were looking all around to see how they were going to be arriving, and were surprised when one of the Prefect's yelled out. "There, look in the sky, it's a carriage being pulled by giant winged horses. That must be the students from Beauxbatons." All the students were looking at the strange site that was coming down and landing in the courtyard of the castle. It was a huge beautiful carriage, and it was being pulled by quite a few huge flying horses.
When the carriage landed, the horses gave a snort, and the door opened to revealing a large women that had to be the headmistress of the school. She stepped out and was followed by her students, who stood in lines behind their headmistress looking at the students of Hogwarts. All the students from Hogwarts were watching the students with a bit of uncertainty, but they were a few smiles among them. One of the female students from the visiting school stood out to the whole student body as one of the most beautiful females that they had ever seen. "Look at her Harry, she is beautiful. I know that I have Luna, but she is still beautiful." Ron was looking at the young lady, but also looking over at his girlfriend with a reassuring smile. He mouthed to Luna not to worry, he was still hers for now and forever.
Luna gave him a slight smile and a nod at that, and stood there with the rest of the Ravenclaws while mouthing to Ron, I know and thank you.
"Monsiour Dumbledor, I am Madame Maxine, and these are my student's. We present ourselves to your school for the Tri-Wizard Tournament." She bowed to the headmaster, and he took her hand and slightly kissed it.
"It is our privilage to have you at our school Madame. Welcome to you and your students to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. May your stay here be a fruitful one.Some ofmy students and teachers would love to show you all around, and answer any questions that you might have. Now would you all be staying in the castle, or have you made alternate arrangements for your stay. I assure you that there is plenty of room in the castle for all three of the schools to stay in the castle." He had his constant twinkle to his eyes, that made people like him instantly.
"That would be kind Dumbledore, but no thank you. We will be staying in our carriage for the duration while we're here. We didn't bring that many students with us, and it's plenty big enough. We do thank you for your offer to show us around tho, and accept the offer." She smiled, and clapped her hands telling her students in French to cast the translation charm so that they could communicate with the students and staff of Hogwart's. They cast the spell, and then the students and staff got together for a small get together and get to know each other session.
