Courtyard
The courtyard outside of the Clock Tower, located on the third floor, off to the side and near the back of the castle.
This cloister isn't as popular with the students as it appears to be one of the older parts of the castle, and the ceiling and walls are dilapidated. It also leads to the Wooden Bridge and, as it is on a hill, is on the third floor. In the center of the courtyard is an antique fountain surrounded by statues of eagles. A pear tree also grows in this courtyard.

*Left off with Morgana leaving the Great Hall after her little tumble to the floor....*
Morgana stepped through the big doors and into the heart of the courtyard. After the catastrophe of a fall she took in the Great Hall in front of the entire school body, Morgana needed to stop and take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Though, it wasn't just the tumble that was getting to her as she hadn't been feeling like herself since she first got to school.
Morgana was letting her personal stresses distract her as of lately which wasn't usually normal of her to do. She had been trying to shake the horrible things that her mum had said to her before she departed from their little home by herself to catch the train to school. Pent up feelings and questions about her true birth father kept rising from the back of her mind to the front more than ever lately, and this summer was the one where she had finally questioned her mother about him. "I ain't tell ya nothin'. You wouldn't like him. He's a manky prat, that's what he is. Why do ya wanna find him anyway? And if ya did, then what? How could he ever love ya, a disappointment who couldn't even make it into Slytherin on the first day to make her own mum proud."
She took in one last deep breath, only to let it out silently but slowly moments later. Pull yourself together, Parkinson. It's only the first day back, she thought to herself as she blotted away the thin tear streaks on her face with the sleeve of her robe. Brushing her robes off and putting on a big, grand smile, she walked off to her first class.
** Morgana exits to first class **

Nearly two months have passed.
Yesterday, October 30th, the delegates from the other schools had arrived for the Triwizard Tournament and a celebration feast was held in the Great Hall where the Goblet of Fire and Triwizard Cup were presented.
Today, October 31st, 2017, the Goblet of Fire remains available in the Chamber of Reception for interested participants to drop in a parchment with their name until the Hallowe'en Feast tonight.

***Anya and Dimi enter from Hogwarts - Corridors (2nd Floor)***
Along the way up a flight of stairs and down the corridor, Anya had explained the directions to it and how she'd only just recently found this place during her last exploration of the castle. As they approached the archway, she released his arm and walked ahead of him, vicariously taking in the courtyard.
It certainly was nothing like all the other courtyards, which were well-tended. Taking in the dilapidated walls and roof, the overgrowth and the dried-up fountain, Anya felt the need to defend it. "I think it's been abandoned or forgotten about," she said, having easily come to that conclusion, though she didn't know the history of the Battle of Hogwarts or how the broken wooden bridge up ahead had come to be that way. She placed a hand on one of the fountain's beautifully carved eagles, admiring the craftmanship of it despite its broken wing. She spotted it, partially covered in the vines that had grown into the dried-up fountain and worked on unburying it as she spoke. "It's a bit broken and lost to the past, but I just..." she glanced around, then looked to Dimi with a shrug, "it's weirdly comforting for some reason."
Because it was familiar, but that was too deeply personal for her to have come to that realization yet on her own. This place was like a physical representation of herself; abandoned, a bit broken, lost to a tragic incident in the past...in desperate need of love and care.

Dimi was glad and especially relieved to see Anya being able to let go of the current situation for the while of them walking around, her explaining their directions and how she had learned to love this place. He couldn't help but feel like something was missing though when she let off of his arm eventually as well, although he wouldn't allow that feeling to be visibly on his features. Instead, Dimi kept a warm smile on them. Encouraging her was much more important than his own pleasure. "I think it's been abandoned or forgotten about,"
Anya explained further, almost as if she thought she had to defend it in some way. Dimi had to smirk a little at that.
"It's a bit broken and lost to the past, but I just...""it's weirdly comforting for some reason." "And I see no reason why it wouldn't," Dimi replied right away, still slightly smirking, before taking a seat on one of the stones to their feet, gesturing her to follow his lead. "Abandoned and forgotten, a bit broken and lost - sounds like just the right reasons to appreciate something." Or someone, he added only in mind.

Anya took his invitation to sit, resting her hands on the stone on either side of her. Dimi's warm words about something others might crinkle their nose at brought a warm smile to her face.
Her feet, slightly off the ground, swayed lightly as she studied the area. The intricately carved stones of the archways and the fountain with all their details, the growth of greenery that still persevered despite the fact it probably hadn't been nurtured in years. She couldn't imagine how long this had all taken.
Anya's eyes continued to wander as she mentally made a list of what the place needed. "Just a little TLC and it could be restored to something of its former self; back into a place people might like to visit." She glanced back at him as she countered. "Though it's nice to have a place to get away from the crowds, and I still think it's beautiful, even in this state."

Dimi watched her in silence as she let her eyes wander around the place for quite some time. Or maybe it wasn't so long in reality while it felt like time was standing still for them in his head and heart. Anya was a special girl in so much more than only the romantic way. She was unique and beautiful, very different from any other girls he had met before.
When she gazed back at him, Dimi just smiled, feeling not at all awkward, or caught even, for having had his eyes allowed to focus only on her. And yet, he hadn't even done it in a flirty way but rather in pure adoration over her whole being.
"Just a little TLC and it could be restored to something of its former self; back into a place people might like to visit.""Though it's nice to have a place to get away from the crowds, and I still think it's beautiful, even in this state."
"If I had more time around here, I would help you give this place the finishing touches, you know. Enough to make it even nicer but not too much to attract other people to it," he proclaimed with a slight smirk but also sincerity. He definitely would. And he probably could even, since he had done a lot of handicraft work around the place he had been living with his father. Well, if he just had more time. That thought in general suddenly brought a sad expression to his face. After the tournament, they would have to go different paths again, with a long distance between them at that. Before Anya could notice the change on his features, or maybe she already had, he put a smile back up. "Well, maybe I can still help you with little changes that wouldn't take a lot of time," he encouraged, letting his eyes wander over the place now himself, obvious that he was indeed serious about this.

Dimi had a way of looking at a person that felt as if he deeply and sincerely cared about what they had to say, gazing into your face and your eyes as if he could see to your very soul. Or at least, that's what she was misconstruing it as. It was a lovely, yet vulnerable feeling. Anya looked at him while he spoke, but couldn't help casting her eyes at the surroundings every now and again when she got the odd feeling that a blush was threatening.
"If I had more time around here, I would help you give this place the finishing touches, you know. Enough to make it even nicer but not too much to attract other people to it,"
"Oh yes, of course. Wouldn't want just anyone and everyone hanging around here," she said, feigning seriousness.
"Well, maybe I can still help you with little changes that wouldn't take a lot of time,"
She thought she'd seen a sadness flicker over his face one of the times she'd drawn her gaze back from the surroundings to him. His words reminded her that he was a visitor here, which most likely accounted for that sadness she thought she'd seen. She then recalled why he was visiting here.
"That is such a lovely offer," she said, her hand momentarily over her heart as the touching warmth of the offer still lingering there, "but you've got so much on your plate already with the tournament," she reminded, offering him an easy out.

"That is such a lovely offer,""but you've got so much on your plate already with the tournament,"
"Nah, don't worry," Dimi waved off her offer for an easy out on this, rather jokingly, though. After all, he wouldn't offer something he wasn't actually willing to do. "I'll just bumble through those three tasks."
He chuckled softly before adding a bit more seriously: "There's still some time left until the first task will be announced. So the offer stands, alright?"

Anya chuckled along with him. She may not know much about these tournaments, but she most definitely knew they were nothing that could be bumbled through. The fact he made such light of what others had painted as a very scary and dangerous thing put her at ease, but only a little.
"There's still some time left until the first task will be announced. So the offer stands, alright?"
Anya brought her eyes from their surroundings back to him and found herself in one of those rare moment that inspired a genuine smile. Because she was in the presence of a rare, genuinely kind person. "Alright," she agreed, slightly distracted in thinking what she could do to repay the kindness. "And in return, I'll help you bumble through those tasks however I can. Deal?" she asked, holding out her right hand to shake on it.

"Alright,""And in return, I'll help you bumble through those tasks however I can. Deal?"
Dimi had to smirk a little, not because he would find her offer ridiculous for not believing that she could be of help in that, but because he thought it was immensely brave of her. She must, at least, have heard about the tournament being a dangerous event on another level. Usually, he would not agree to such an offer even, to not get anyone in danger when it's actually his task, but, this time, Dimi did. Anya deserved to be seen as the brave and helpful girl she was. And maybe it was even good for her to have more than one distraction from everything that had happened very recently.
"Deal," Dimi confirmed, taking the offered hand for a shake. "But I guess we have to keep that a secret between us. Helpers usually aren't allowed," he explained with a wink and another smirk.
