Finally after 30 minutes of embarrassing comments that would leave even gay men scarred for life the six students arrived at Beauxbatons. The three boys practically sprinted into the school designed after the Palace at Versailles away from their crazy so called friends.
"Scott! Why did you get them started on that! Why!" Cael shook his friend by the shoulders with wide horror struck green eyes.
"I didn't mean too! I was only talking about muggles and then Claire starts squealing!" Scott claimed ducking out of his poor friend's grip.
"Miles I am never going to look at bananas again thanks to you," Ryan shuddered in remembrance. Claire had let her overactive imagination go too far. They should lock the girl away for the greater good of all men who value what little innocence and sanity they have.
"I thought guys were supposed to be pervs not 14 year old girls," Scott commented as they walked into the banquet hall, which was modeled in a Victorian design like the rest of the school.
"Just goes to show you shouldn't listen to stereotypes little Scotty," All three froze at the chilling and predatory voice of Terra.
"Hello Terra, did I say pervs, I meant uh…" nerves, serves, curves. No that won't work hmm what to say—Terra raised an eyebrow at the long pause.
"Does it really take you that long to think everyone else is already sitting," she said gesturing to a table to their right where the others had already grabbed seats. That said she walked off leaving the rather confused American behind.
"Did I get my French wrong again?" he asked no one in particular and ran off to his friends oblivious to the girls snapping photos of him behind a replica of a Michelangelo statue. Their little American fox was just too cute.
"Hey Scott did you see those girls over there?" Cael asked as Scott took the seat next to him. The red haired fox demon looked back, "what girls?" Everyone looked at him incredulously; the girls were obviously not trying to hide.
"Miles you're an idiot," Ryan said bluntly and turned to observe the other students.
"Huh? What'd I do now?" the poor boy was clueless. Claire started cooing again at the cuteness that was Scott Miles while Gabrielle and Terra giggled. Cael just sighed exasperated with the ignorance of his friend. Really Americans were either extremely brilliant and oblivious or completely incompetent and oblivious. It was debatable which one Scott was but everyone agreed he was oblivious to everything; the perfect stalkee to a stalker.
Cael sighed again he wondered how long Claire would be messing with Scott about the fan club thing. Sure it actually existed but there was no way the wood elf would degrade herself by joining it. Claire may act like a hyperactive airhead, and although the hyperactive part was true, an airhead she was not. She like everyone in their group of friends was a genius. Particularly in planning conniving pranks in the war. It was best to never underestimate her or you may end up glued to a toilet seat. Sometimes Claire just needed to be locked up where she couldn't hurt anybody.
"Cael!" he was startled out of his musings as Terra hit him over the head."Pay attention ya monkey Madame Maxime is starting!" she said gesturing to their rather tall headmistress who had just stood up.
Madame Maxime cleared her throat and all of the idle chatter of the students halted. She smiled at them pleased.
"Now welcome back to all those returning students and I give a special welcome to those new students who are joining us this year." She smiled at a table off to the right full of nervous 11 year olds. "Now I have an important announcement before we eat. This year Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland will play host to a very special tournament. The EUN has decided to reinstate the Triwizard Tournament and has chosen Hogwarts to host it." At this excited and confused murmurs alike resounded throughout the hall. "Now we have been invited to participate in this tournament, therefore in one and half months' time I will accompany a select group of students along with a volunteer chaperone to Scotland in order to participate. Students who have been chosen to go will receive a letter within the next few weeks. That is all now enjoy your food!" and food appeared on all the tables.
The hall broke out into excited chatter about the tournament and who would be going to Hogwarts with the headmistress.
"Oh I wanna go!" Scott and Claire exclaimed simultaneously. They both stared at each other a moment.
"Cool! Scott is my twin!" the elf cried happily and then added seriously, "but I'm still gonna join your fan club and write that story."
Scott flushed bright red and unbeknown to him his fan club took a picture of it. Everyone laughed at the two.
"Aww look he is too cute!" Gabrielle cooed and laughed with Terra and Claire as Scott shifted uncomfortably.
"Yes, well looks like Terra was wrong," he said successful if though not subtly changing the subject.
"Wrong about what?" the vampire asked frowning at the fox demon.
"Oh yes, she was wrong wasn't she," Ryan added his 2 cents in.
"Wrong about what?" she asked again growing frustrated.
"Oh! You were wrong about not going to England!" Gabrielle said remembering the conversation about Sirius Black.
"Oh… so what?" she asked confused.
"Oh! Terra we are going to have to worry about Sirius Black!" Claire exclaimed.
"Okaaay what's so scary about it?" Terra asked yet again.
Cael smacked his forehead, "Terra the man escaped from the most heavily guarded prison in the world; he's very scary."
Terra frowned at him, "But—" she cut herself off green eyes widening briefly. She looked away from her brother and said, "Right scary." Cael narrowed his own green eyes at his sister suspiciously. She knew something and he was going to find out what… but maybe later Terra was still mad at him considering her proposal of as a…pet. Where did she even learn about this stuff surely their uncle wouldn't tell her these things that was a bit far even for him.
"Hey Cael you're zoning out again," Scott snapped his fingers in front of the vampire's face.
"What? Oh sorry," he smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Brother you need to stop thinking before you hurt yourself," Terra snarked cruelly.
"You're so mean today Terra what did I do?" he feigning tears of hurt. Terra's eyes glinted red for a moment and she snarled.
"Terra and Cael do not start the school had yet to begin!" an astounded voice commanded from behind them.
"Oh good evening to you Ms. Smi, how was your summer," Scott asked charmingly.
"Oh it was lovely and student free bar the winged monstrosities that brought me little fire starters every two days," she said sarcastically while glaring at both Scott and Cael.
"Oh we thought you would like your presents!" Cael chirped happily enjoying his teacher's sardonic ways.
"Oh for the love of— never mind just don't start anything until after you six leave in a month!" she snapped stalking off to the teachers' table. Ryan smiled as she left.
"What're you smiling about she left," said Claire curiously as Scott and Cael sulked at the departure of their favorite teacher.
"Oh nothing really Claire Ms. Smi just inadvertently hinted that we were going to be chosen to go to Hogwarts for the Tournament," he replied smirking at her blank look. It took a moment for everyone to process his words before both Scott and Claire crowed happily and the others grinned too. They were going to have a great year with new prey to prank and whole new battleground for the war.
Elsewhere in Europe a black dog walked up to a dark forest sniffing at the air. A tall figure suddenly appeared out of the shadows of the tall willowy trees.
"Sirius Black?" the figure asked approaching the dog. The dog looked up at the figure blue eyes tired and he nodded.
"Come with me my lord wishes to speak with you," the figure gestured for the dog to follow him into the trees. Both the figures disappeared again as quickly as they had appeared and no one was the wiser that Sirius Black had found accomplices, or that he was much closer to the saviors of the wizarding world than the leader of the light was.
and that is the end of that chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and I enjoy feedback so pretty please review.
