“Intellectual and entertaining, a book is good company indeed” Sherlock just gave her a nod. Yes, indeed.
“I don’t get the hubbub about all this anyways - kids risking their lives over fifteen minutes of fame? Definitely not my cup of tea.” This time the young man made a deliberative face. "I also don’t like this excitement concerning such a dangerous Tournament. But, to be honest, I’m a bit infected anyway because one of my best friends hopes to be chosen for this event. But if Dray won’t participate, I’m not sure if I will watch all the competitions", he admitted.
He made a short pause before he gave Morgana a gentle smile and added a word of encouragement. "Although I‘m sure that I won’t be able to rescue all injured competitors, I will try to help as many of them as possible. Since the day we were offered that the Tournament will take place at Hogwarts, I started to learn some healing spells."
Sherlock sighed. "But let us talk about something different, something harmless." While he changed their subject of conversation he smirked at her. Without asking he sat down next to Morgana even if it wasn’t his usual place. But as long as the students from the other schools would be around they all were allowed to sit down whereever they want. (Of course the Hogwarts students would change their seats but not their tables.) "What kind of books do you like the most, Morgana?" There was still some time left before the Halloween Feast should start. So he decided to have a small talk about books.

Dray caught sight of Ellie from the corner of her eyes, she turned just to see the thumbs up. She blew her a kiss before making sure her electric guitar was tuned and ready to go. Everyone was ready, everyone but Sherlock who was talking to some girl. Smirking she cleared her throat before amplifying her voice.
"Hello everyone, I'm Dray Lopez and we're The Levitating Quills." They had gathered a following over the years, which Dray was excited about. No one really seemed to hate them, which made Dray happy. Of course, their music wasn't everyone's favorite but Dray had been working on a few new songs with the band. What better venue to display them? "I know everyone is anxious for the results of the cup but first we have a bit of a nosh and some tunes. Get excited," A large portion of the room cheered, hooting, and hollering for not only the event but for the band to get them started. "You hear them, Sherlock, get your bum over here mate!"
The drums started up, a slow beat to kick things off.
"Sherlock is one of my best mates, he helps write the songs and plays piano, violin, guitar, and base. Tonight he'll be on the violin, We have my buddy Kerrin on drums, and Patricia on Bass and back vocals." When Sherlock was in his place, Dray grinned. "You ready?" She bumped him with her hip, playfully.

"But let us talk about something different, something harmless." "What kind of books do you like the most, Morgana?"
Morgana smirked lightly as she peered downward at the table, speaking from a place of passion, "I'm a particular fan of the eccentric gems in the ruff, the ones that no one's really heard much about. The one's in which the author's poured their whole hearts into out of passion rather than of lust for fame and fortune," Morgana's tastes were out of this world indeed, yet she possessed the ability to appreciate things that were not usually visible to the obvious eye. Just as she was about to ask Sherlock of his own tastes in literature, Dray of The Levitating Quills beckoned him to the stage.
"I believe that's your cue," Morgana chuckled lightly, then stopped herself with a clearing of the throat, "Erm, good luck." Morgana let Sherlock tend to his mates up on stage, wondering what had come over her to make her chuckle just as she had done so foolishly like a little school girl.

While everyone else was in eager anticipation of who the Goblet of Fire would choose for the Tournament, Coco was busying herself with all that food on the table, waiting for her to get tried, especially the sweets. Oh, this Hogwarts students truly lived in paradise! Beauxbaton wasn't this giving. Ever seen a chubby, not to mention real fat Beauxbaton student? No? Now you know why.
"You guys zeriously 'ave no idea how good you 'ave it here...", she mumbled between chocolate frogs and something that was tasting like an edible rainbow, her words not meant for someone specific, while she enjoyed the actually good band being the prelude of this somehow overweening ceremony.
Suddenly someone plopped herself down right next to her. "Hey, whazzup?", Coco greeted her best friend with a casual wave of her free hand, not a bit reacting to Cami's glare of death, at least not until her shoulder got flicked, which made her head turn around after all. "No luck with Mr. Right?"

***Anya and Dimi enter from Entrance Hall***
The excited chatter and band starting up set the volume of the Great Hall at a level that made it awkward for attempted conversation while walking, so Anya waited until they settled in a spot at the Ravenclaw table.
Anya shifted to a slight angle toward Dimi, leaning in a bit to talk over the noise of the room. She immediately addressed their start in hopes of ridding any feelings of awkwardness. "You know, the chaos in the Chamber of Reception robbed us of a normal start. Why don't we start fresh. Hi, I'm Anastasia." Anya offered her hand along with a smile.

Ellie's facial features turned into a whole new level of grinning when Dray blew her a kiss from the stage where everyone could see it. She was just so happy that she thought her heart was going to explode. When the Levitating Quills were starting their gig, Ellie leaned back in perfect satisfaction, enjoying the sound of their music.
Eventually, her feeling of mere happiness got mixed up with kind of an odd, completely different feeling. Like someone would be... observing her. As a matter of fact, Ellie was far away from being someone who was acting paranoid at all, so all the more was this sudden feeling irritating her.
She had a careful look around the other tables, her smile subsiding though not completely vanishing when suddenly a boy caught her eye; someone she had never talked to nor noticed before. And this boy, silently sitting at the Ravenclaw table, was actually staring at her.

Enormous hubbub of all sorts circled the Slytherin house table, however Scorpius and his fellow mates had been deeply entertained by the stories told by the Durmstrang boys. Sure Hogwarts was good to Scorpius thus far, yet he was intrigued by the tales of the northern institute. Their indulgence in the dark arts especially caught Scorpius's interest. If only his father would allow him to transfer, he knew that he would surely rise to the top ever more so than at the school he currently attended. But Scorpius knew that Callum would absolutely love for him to transfer anywhere but here, and for this reason he would stay. The thought actually made him chuckle out loud, in perfect timing to the comedic yet brutish punchline from one of their newfound Durmstrang acquaintances.
Scorpius's eye caught Anya in the distance, and in this moment his laughter subsided to a sinister grin as the conversation around him carried forward without him. The fact that she was Callum's bosom buddy already made Scorpius want to puke, but there was something about her. Something she was hiding. And he believed he was on track to finding out, as he had something in his possession. Something peculiar that did not belong to him. Something he would soon use against her.

Draco stood upright alongside the edge of the Great Hall as his eyes scanned over the students settling in for the ceremonies. Everything seemed to be going smoothly and according to plan thus far, they could only hope that the rest of the Tournament could go this easy as no one wanted another "Potter incident". Though, it had always seemed that bits and parts of this school were somehow cursed, so any sort of avoidance of any incidents would be inevitable and Draco knew that. But for now, he would hope that all the schools would enjoy their time and stay in their magical castle.
Looking anxiously for his boys, Draco spotted Scorpius gawking along with his mates as well as some Durmstrangs that accompanied them at the Slytherin table. As well as Scorpius had been getting along with his homework and mates, he worried greatly about Scorpius. For looking at Scorpius in this moment was like peering through a pensieve into his own past. He could only hope that his son would not fall and make the same stupid mistakes he made when he was young, though as a concerned father there was only so much he could do. And not just for Scorpius, for Callum as well. Callum's defiance and isolated behavior only made the father and son drift farther apart, however, based off of their conversation from earlier Draco had hoped that it would only be up from here for their relationship. For the first time in a long time, Draco would actually try. For Callum.
Draco's gaze bobbed for his other son, yet Callum was nowhere to be seen. The last thing he would want would be for his son to miss out on this once in a lifetime event, whether he had put his name in the goblet or not. At that thought, Draco followed alongside the walls of the Great Hall to the exit to find his oldest son.

Ash's sight had been long set on Ellie Sparks, the other twin, before her awareness of his presence was suddenly known. Though she gave him a look of bewilderment, Ash did not flinch his gaze away one ounce. No, instead, a grin developed slowly as it crept to both corners of his cheeks. He continued to stare her down for a few moments more with his intentions of prophecy fulfillment in mind before slowly turning his head to the front. The Levitating Quills gave it their best shot, yet music was the least of Ash's amusements. His eyes suddenly caught the peculiar looking professor, Professor Boyle who had been at the front observing the students. A strange feeling rose within Ash, one he did not like. And it wasn't due to the fact that the man was wearing tinted glasses in doors. The presence of this man, Ash had felt a similar one before years ago. And now his glance through the brown locks that dawned his forehead now became a stare in the professor's direction in puzzlement of the vibes felt from across the room.

"I'm a particular fan of the eccentric gems in the ruff, the ones that no one's really heard much about. The one's in which the author's poured their whole hearts into out of passion rather than of lust for fame and fortune," Morgana was obviously not a typical girl. Besides she was a Ravenclaw – Ravenclaws were often not ordinary.
But before he could tell her something about his favorite books, Dray complimented him on stage. "You hear them, Sherlock, get your bum over here mate!" "I believe that's your cue," "Erm, good luck." "Yes, I think you are right. And thanks. Maybe we could continue our talk later." He gave her a smile and turned to the stage.
"You ready?" "Of course, my dear. Let’s go!" And that was the go-ahead for their performance.

"No luck with Mr. Right?"
"More like Mr. I cant afford to get invovled! Why did you leave me with him alone?!" Cami spouted in her hot headed frustration to Coco, who was now turned completely around to face her friend and her over dramatic antics, "Alone with his charming way with words, zat smile....non! I do not need 'ou playing wingman and trying to set me up with someone, a Durmstrang for zat matter!" Cami crossed her arms in a scolding way, before catching a glimpse of Staffan, the very Durmstrang she was just speaking of. No matter how much she denied Staffan, she could not help but to have feelings for him. Her features relaxed as she surrendered her immense amount of attitude, "If I get chosen, I need to keep my eye on ze prize. 'Ou know how much this all means to me, what it all means for my family." Cami simmered down as she released her crossed arms. Coco was her best friend and knowing that her intentions were never meant in a bad way, she could never stay angry with her for long especially over a boy.

“In all seriousness, you’re the spark lighting up the room tonight, Stark,” "Oh please, Shane! You make me sheepish," she answered before she also took a sip of her glass. She didn’t need a mirror to be sure that her cheeks blushed a bit.
“What do you think the odds are of either one of us getting picked for this tournament? Shall we place bets?” Scarlett couldn’t help to give a short laugh because Shane’s good mood was so catching. "Well, I don’t like bets. But I’m sports-minded. May Lady Fortune decide! And may the best one win the Tournament!"
Suddenly a voice aroused her attention. "Hello everyone, I'm Dray Lopez and we're The Levitating Quills." "Oh, they got a music band at Hogwarts!" The blonde girl got excited. "I love music. Sadly we’re all sitting at this huge tables... That’s a good beat – I wanna dance!"

Darleena found many of the Durmstrang boys rather nice to look at but that was about it. She didn't fawn over them like the other students because that was simply not her way. She did stare as they pass, she could appreciate there muscles but she just couldn't be bothered. Especially when they postured in front of them, she was not impressed at the least. "Bored now," She turned her back towards the guy, "I've been bigger muscles." She added, which only made the Durmstrang boy's face fall.
"Leena, you are absolutely evil." Her friend laughed and watched as he returned to his friends. "He liked you, you could have at least toyed with him a bit."
"I have no need to cloud my head with thoughts of boys. Especially if I get picked to be one of the champions, I must be focused."
Dray was on the stage now, entertaining the masses with her jokes. She really was talented but could she be Triwizard champion? Doubtful...
Her eyes landed on a familiar face, her little cousin and he was staring... at a girl. She wanted to get a good look at what distracted him, so she excused herself and moved towards him. She made sure not to be seen, so she could get a good look. That is when she saw the new girl and Scorpie's gaze on her. "Oooh, does little Scorpie have a crush?" He was a little shite, so she wouldn't hold back her teasing.

While they walked into the Great Hall, Dimi tried to withhold the unusual smiling on his face. It wasn't even a wide smile, but enough to make his Durmstrang fellows wonder. Not that Dimi would actually bother about what others were thinking, but first of all didn't he want to look like an idiot to Anya.
Dimi's eyes were narrowing in concentration to listen to her voice when she spoke up through all the noises around. "You know, the chaos in the Chamber of Reception robbed us of a normal start. Why don't we start fresh. Hi, I'm Anastasia."
He had to chuckle at that, and at the same time suddenly wondered. "Anastasia. That's a beautiful and rare name. I'm Dimitrij.", he officially introduced himself as well, taking her hand for a strong shake - hopefully not too strong. "But Dimi is just fine. So... is Anya a short form of Anastasia?"

Just knowing that Ellie was out there cheering her on, it made her feel so good. She just wanted to make everyone happy, it was her biggest aspiration in life.
"Of course, my dear. Let’s go!" Dray nodded her head before moving back to her position.
"Alright this is it, let's have some fun." She said so just the band could hear. "We'll start with a couple classics and then move to the new stuff. The Pitch, Hufflepuff God and then one of our new ones. we'll play it by ear," She turned back to the students and smiled, "This one is for my fellow Quidditch players out there, we all know that itch when we haven't been on the pitch."
The band was very eclectic, Dray liked to think of them as Rock/Folk- people seemed to really like it. This song was more of an early rock sound from the 90's.
Kerrin tapped his drumsticks together and started off the beat, with Patricia coming in on bass. Dray's guitar rang through the great hall, signaling the band to continue.
Into the sky Into the sky The Pitch is where we fly Into the sky. Into the sky. The Pitch is where we fly Nothing compares Flying through air. Nothing compares Flying through the air.
You get that pregame itch To fly above the pitch Broomstick in hand, ready to make your stand. Ready to fly! Ready to fly! Into the sky! Oh yeah! (Oooooo yeah)
Friendly banter is key Get into their heads You sing a song They sing a song Detention, the teacher says. (Oh man!)
Into the sky Into the sky The Pitch is where we fly Into the sky. Into the sky. The Pitch is where we fly Nothing compares Flying through air. Nothing compares Flying through the air.
(Spoken, singing type part)
When the day arrives your team is well prepared. The stands are full and nerves are in the air. The Pitch it calls to you, you know you have to win. You'll never ever live it down, if the Hufflepuff's win! Big Bad Slytherin...
Dray added that last part in as she looked right at the Slytherin Captain. The hall erupted into laughter, mostly from the Gryffindor table. Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's joined in on the laughter, some Slytherin's were chuckling but the Slytherin Quidditch team were not. Dray moved towards the table and both teams converged to face off, backing up Dray and the other team captain. The Slytherin's were ready for a fight but it wouldn't come to that. Dray wasn't looking for detention but she would let them know, this year was Hufflepuff's year and they would fight tooth and nail.
"Get out my face, Lopez." Dray winked and started to sing again.
Captain's stare down, a lot is on the line. This year, we're going to shine!
Dray did back up because some of the teacher's were getting ready to swoop in. The two teams returned to their tables and Dray back on stage. She Kissed Ellie on the cheek as she passed.
(Singing Again)
The whistle blows, the players pose, up, up you fly.
Nothing compares Flying through air. Nothing compares Flying through the air.
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah...

Severus' eyes scanned over the students around the hall. He wasn't exactly pleased about having picked this period of time of all times, as he never had been a fan of this whole ceremony; but then again, it would be a good opportunity to trawl through all angles of Hogwarts without drawing attention while everyone would be either participating or watching the challenges. A good opportunity to find what he was here for so that he could finally leave in peace. For a little moment, Severus' features softened, almost wistfully reaching out to something that actually wasn't here. Or rather someone. It was only when Scorpius Malfoy's chuckling was drowning the voices around the Slytherin table that Severus got thrown back into the here and now. As fast as the softening of his features had happened, as fast did they harden again. This boy was even more of a troublemaker than his father once had been. And as if on command, Severus got to see the shadow of someone peeking out from behind the crack of a door. As he hadn't gotten more than a glimpse of the person, he couldn't say for sure that it was Draco of course. In fact, what was enticing him in the first place was the fact of someone acting quite secretive by lurking in the background. And so it was no wonder Severus was already on his feet by the time the person was gone. And since Severus hadn't exactly left behind a great impression among the teaching staff yet, it wouldn't be too hard for him to clear out without any questions. What he didn't know though was that someone totally different and much more familiar then he would have guessed, was watching him as well.

The boy's sudden grin gave Ellie a chill - literally. If his staring before hadn't been already creepy enough, this reaction was even trumping it. Also, it was leaving her totally unsure about how to react to that for her part. Should she react to him at all? Ellie felt a flash of unsureness and even anxiety, which was almost more disconcerting than it was the boy's grinning, coming over her.
Suddenly the sound of The Levitating Quills wasn't more than an echo in her head, a fact that would make her feel bad later for sure. Ellie knew that her best friend had been looking forward to this gig for a while and also that she had prepared some new songs. She really didn't want to miss even one single line of it. And yet - here she was, thunderstruck by a creepy boy who was covering just that into dark clouds with only a grin.
Ellie's heart skipped a beat when suddenly Dray appeared right next to her to give her a kiss on the cheek before returning back on stage. At least she managed to give her friend a quick smile so that she hopefully wouldn't worry. And when her eyes wandered into the boy's direction one more time, his attention finally was directed to elsewhere. The shiver all around her body was still present, slightly subsiding with every other moment though until it was Dray's voice again that was dominating her mind. And back came the smile to her face as if nothing would have happened, leaving no more than a memory of a strange moment behind.

"Well, I don’t like bets. But I’m sports-minded. May Lady Fortune decide! And may the best one win the Tournament!"
"Couldn't have said it better myself. To Lady Fortune!" Shane raised his glass and gestured it towards Scarlett in a toast like manner before taking a brief sip.
"Hello everyone, I'm Dray Lopez and we're The Levitating Quills."
Shane's head turned with the rest of the students in the Great Hall to face the band that caught the attention of the entire room. A warm smile encompassed Shane's face as he expressed pure joy to the musical sound vibrating through the air.
"Oh, they got a music band at Hogwarts!"
Shane grew delighted by Scarlett's enthusiasm and bopped his head to the rhythm of the lead singer's voice. Eventually Shane caught onto the catchy lyrics of the song, and he could not help but to sing along to the infectious tune.
"Nothing compares , Flying through the air!"
"I love music. Sadly we’re all sitting at this huge tables... That’s a good beat – I wanna dance!"
Shane's singing and head bobbing came to a halt at Scarlett's expression of wanting to get up and dance. He looked at the space in between the tables and then back at Scarlett. A wide grin developed at the excitement of the moment as Shane stood upright and took out his wand. With a few waves and a single incantation, the tables began to slowly spread apart far enough for the space to resemble a dance floor.
"And now nothing can stop us! Come on!" Gently taking ahold of Scarlett's hands did he lead her to her feet and in the middle of the space on the floor. Jiving left and right, Shane and Scarlett danced to the rhythm of the beat. They cheered and sang along to the lead singer of the band, and their actions were so infectious that other students decided to join in, filling the dance floor completely.

"More like Mr. I cant afford to get invovled! Why did you leave me with him alone?!"
Coco's black-framed eyes met with Cami's, while she was still munching sweets like she would have made it her task to try everything before the tables got cleared.
"Alone with his charming way with words, zat smile....non! I do not need 'ou playing wingman and trying to set me up with someone, a Durmstrang for zat matter!"
"See, and zat's why I did.", she replied with a finger point into her best friend's direction. "Do 'ou think I don't see a Romeo and Julia story when it gets played out right in front of me?" Everyone says you gotta listen to your physical feeling and Coco's had told her just that. That significant physical feeling of nausea. While her friend's eyes wandered to the Durmstrang boy at one of the other tables, Coco continued the food tasting, probably later leaving her with nausea that had nothing to do with Romeo and Julia stories for once.
"If I get chosen, I need to keep my eye on ze prize. 'Ou know how much this all means to me, what it all means for my family."
"I know. The prize is your prince.", Coco replied with a slight grin. "Just sayin' 'ou can't get laid by a cup." The rest of her words almost got drowned out by some nut crunching.

"Oooh, does little Scorpie have a crush?"
Caught in the act, Scorpius scowled as his head snapped in the direction of the familiar female voice before snorting obnoxiously at his cousin's wild assumption, "Not if we were the last two people in the world. But your jokes are getting funny, Leena, taking lessons?" A smug grin encompassed his face, before remembering who it was he was talking to. Darleena had kicked his little arse before for attempting to treat her like he did everyone else, but he simply could not help himself.
"She's Callum's little girlfriend...though, from the looks of it, doesn't appear that he will have her for very long." Scorpius snickered as his glaring eyes traveled back in Anya's direction only to discover that she was being chatted up by a Durmstrang. And not only any Durmstrang - it was Dimitrij Saizew.

"Anastasia. That's a beautiful and rare name. I'm Dimitrij." "But Dimi is just fine. So... is Anya a short form of Anastasia?"
"Oh, yes," she said in a recollective tone. He released her hand from his warm, strong shake and she rested her arm on the table as she began to explain. "It's a nickname I was called when I was little but hadn't heard it again until I started here a few months ago. I've gotten stuck in the habit of introducing myself with the full version, but you're welcome to call me by either, Dimi," she said, settling on her choice of his shortened name.
The band started up a new song and even though she had her attention elsewhere, the beat had her toe tapping beneath the table. A subconscious feeling of being watched had Anya instinctively starting to turn to seek it out just as the entire table began to shift, the unexpected addition to her current turn throwing off her equilibrium and sending her nearly tipping backward off the bench. "Whoa," she said, one hand grabbing the edge of the table and the other grasping the nearest thing in her midturn, which happened to be Dimi's upper arm. Again. Anya's attention now went to seeking out what had caused the table to move, subconscious feeling of being watched completely forgotten.
She found the reason for the table shift. A couple of the visiting students had begun dancing between the tables and others started to join in. Their carefree joy was infectious and Anya smiled. "Looks like the dining hall has turned into a dance hall," she said, turning her smile back in the direction of Dimi. She looked at her hand on Dimi's arm, a look of surprise at finding it there Her eyes followed the line of his arm down, peaking over her shoulder to where his hand rested on her back, just realizing that he'd assisted in stopping her from her backward decent. "Thanks. Again," she said, slowly removing her hand from his impressively muscled arm. "That would have been embarrassing." She added an exasperated eyeroll.

As soon as the strange professor made his exit out of Ash's sight, he began to stand up as some of the students rushed passed him to get to the makeshift dance floor that some of the American students made. Floating down the Ravenclaw bench, he weaved around and through excited students rushing to get a piece of the action unfolding. As he found the spot on the bench he had been looking for, Ash perched himself right next to his other prospect. Morgana Parkinson.
"Morgana...dear...I am so glad to see you've recovered." Ash sympathetically offered with a sly grin attached, "You looked terribly ill when I wandered past the Infirmary. It would have been a shame for you to miss out on, well, simply all of this." Ash peered around himself at all the hubub happening around them before returning his gaze back to the Ravenclaw girl, "Anyways, this really isn't my...scene...but have a good night. Oh....and good luck." With a single wink and without further explanation, Ash got up from the bench and appeared to have made his exit, but instead just hung out in the back of the hall amongst it's shadows.

"Morgana...dear...I am so glad to see you've recovered."
Morgana had zoned out amidst the sounds of the music and excitement that she became startled by the sudden appearance of Ash sitting right beside her. Hadn't this guy heard of a little something called personal space?! "Um, how did you...?," Morgana was puzzled as to how he would have known she was sick.
"You looked terribly ill when I wandered past the Infirmary. It would have been a shame for you to miss out on, well, simply all of this."
Morgana followed his gaze at the students and partying going about around them before he spoke once more. Ash had always been rather a peculiar sort of bloke, Morgana had thought that it was never an issue to be eccentric and keep to yourself just as she had done herself. That was, until Ash decided to involve himself in her little bubble of solace.
"Anyways, this really isn't my...scene...but have a good night. Oh....and good luck."
Good luck? Morgana was unsure of what to make of his last statement. "But I never, I mean, I didn't...," Morgana was about to correct Ash if he thought that she had put her own name into the goblet, yet her sentence trailed off as Ash disappeared into the wave of students with not another word.
Just as she returned her gaze to the main stage, an overwhelming feeling came over Morgana. It was similar to the ones she had felt before. Warm...calming....and this time, Morgana felt herself smiling. She wasn't sure what she was smiling at, it was as if she was experiencing someone else's feelings. And then that's when Morgana caught a glimpse of the blond girl she had come face to face before. The one who looked exactly like her. Her whole body froze, she didn't know what to do. Yet, she wanted to know this girl. Who was she, and why did they just discover each other now out of all the years they had been attending Hogwarts? Unknowing of what was coming over her, slowly, Morgana rose from her seat with a tempting thought to go over to the girl...

***Callum enters from the Library***
He really hadn't been going to attend to this ceremony, not as a watcher and much less as a participant. And yet he was here now. The dismay about just that was greatly readable on his face as he scanned over the hall thronged with students that were not only gathered at the tables but also have decided to make this a party with music and dancing.
"Oh, just great...", he whispered to himself or maybe half to Ralph who was peeking out of Callum's sleeve only to disappear back deep into it a moment later. Wise little guy, Callum thought with a sigh before something else was even worsen his mood.
He had found Anya. Actually a good thing, but... well, just but. For some reason, the mere presence of that beefcake dude right next to her, or rather glued at her, was annoying the hell out of him, but to watch him and his best friend cheeking by jowl with each other really was pissing him off. So much that he even didn't ponder why. For a moment Callum was thinking about sicking Ralph on that dude again, but he didn't want to do the little dragon wrong by exposing him to this crowd of people. It had been a purely hypothetical thought anyway. Or hadn't it...?
"Hi.", he greeted Anya once he had reached the table they were sitting at, and only her, with a smile that was showing his displeasure in a way that wasn't intended. "Looks like you have fun." The grin widened, though it was clear from happiness.

(Temp-played by Medieval Kevin! lol)
Marius stood watching with amusement. However slight it may have appeared on his face, the carefully guarded emotions within him ran wild. The sound of the music was very uplifting. Marius' smile faltered somewhat when one of their guests, a student, decided to rearrange the hall to make room for a dance floor. The headmaster stood from his seat on the dais and shifted to his full height. It was purely for his own enjoyment that he held that stern expression and pose for a few beats longer before lifting his wand and waving it slightly in the direction of the "Dance Floor".
Slowly candles from the ceiling of the Great Hall swam down from above leaving brilliant streaks of light and color. They came to rest just safely above the heads of the students. It was at this point that they then began a dance of their own to heighten the mood brought on by the talented musicians performing for their fellow students. Ogden had been quite proud of the way he and the other professors had managed to fit a few more lengths of tables into the Hall as if they had been there all along. Hogwarts was ever accommodating and the famous hall was as big as she needed to be. Of course he had to acknowledge when he had an under-sight and nodded to one of the staff, "There, now its perfect."
Headmaster Ogden waited patiently for the band to finish it's second number before clearing his throat and then tapped his wand to his neck to project above the volume of the Great Hall. "Well done, yes! An extremely rousing start to this evening's festivities by our very own, The Levitating Quills. Please don't hold back showing them how much you appreciate an opening quite like theirs." And the other students did just that, most of them. Marius waited for the roar to subside before continuing, "I know you where all expecting much more, and you will have that- with an amazing feast to follow", he gave that just a beat to register but didn't lose his momentum, "But surely you will want something to talk about, plan for, and congratulate over?"
"Yes my dear students and professor's from Durmstrang Institute", the headmaster timed himself perfectly to allow for appropriate school pride to be shown at their introduction. "Beauxbatons Academy of Magic... Ilvermorny... And Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am talking about our Tri-Wizard Champions!" As he gave each school the chance to puff out their chests he walked down off the Dias and, swiftly for his age, passed between the tables heading for the massive doors before the entrance hall. Perched before them, which everyone before now had not seen, stood an ornate column. Resting on top sat the Goblet of Fire. It flickered now brightly in the fading light of the Great Hall.
The Headmaster turned and swept them all with a mischievous smile as the lights continued to darken. When he was sure the mood as right he pressed forward, "Allow the Goblet's Fire to ensnare your attention now, it has decided to make history tonight. In an unprecedented event drawing far more attendance from a never before attempted collaboration of wizarding schools the Goblet of Fire will be choosing two- and I assure you just two students from each school to go down in history marking the return of the legendary Tri-Wizard Tournament!"
Marius allowed the excitement to die down just enough, but in truth it was the Goblet that did so, before it's color burned hot and began to flare up brighter. As the tendrils swept out and around the pedestal two rapid puffs erupted from the blaze and the smoking bits of parchment seemed to drift down towards the waiting hand of the Hogwart's Headmaster. He took hold of them and fixed his stare on them in the dim light as if straining. Then he smiled once more. "The Durmstrang Champion's are... Dimitrij Saizew... and Prince Staffan Alrik Thorvaldsson."

Staffan was a bundle of nerves but he wouldn't let it show. Viking prince's did not show weakness, certainly not in front of his brothers. He had to be cool as stone, and smooth as marble- he had to be ready to accept whatever came his way.
The music from the band was not something he normally enjoyed. The banter between the Slytherin's and Hufflepuff was amusing and he couldn't wait to see the local Quidditch teams face off against each other. He wondered if this Hufflepuff girl could truly play the game well?
By the end of the second song, Headmaster Ogden interrupted and Staffan gave his full attention. "Well done, yes! An extremely rousing start to this evening's festivities by our very own, The Levitating Quills. Please don't hold back showing them how much you appreciate an opening quite like theirs." Staffan clapped politely, "I know you where all expecting much more, and you will have that- with an amazing feast to follow but surely you will want something to talk about, plan for, and congratulate over? Yes my dear students and professor's from Durmstrang Institute," The Durmstrang boys cheered and hollers, always causing some kind of eruption of thunderous applause. "Beauxbatons Academy of Magic... Ilvermorny... And Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am talking about our Tri-Wizard Champions!"
Staffan got a bit lost as he watched Beauxbaton flutter around but truly his eyes were only on one. Cami, she looked so beautiful and he hoped he got a chance to see what kind of witch she truly was. Something behind those eyes, she was not just a beauty but he felt a burning hot fire beneath her eyes.
"The Durmstrang Champion's are..." He almost didn't hear the names being called out. At first it didn't register but when his friend's raised him up on their shoulder, shouting, and praising his name- he came back to reality. Dimitrij's and Staffan were the chosen two for Durmstrang, they were represent their school. He looked over at Dimi and gave him a nod, they had their work cut out for them.

The songs went over well, they had just finished the second when suddenly Headmaster Ogden interrupted them. Dray would have been upset about it normally but they would get there chance to sing again. Tonight wasn't about them, it was about the Tri-wizard championship and she hoped her name was among them.
"Thank you, Headmaster." Dray smiled and the band returned to their seats, Dray waving in thanks to the crowd of students. She went right for Ellie and wrapped her arms around her, "That was so much fun, I'm so excited!" She gave Ellie another kiss on her cheek and stayed cuddled close.
When Headmaster said he was about to pick the champions, Dray felt sick. It was time to find out if she would be chosen, she was petrified but this was her shot. Her shot to prove that Hufflepuff's were more then everyone pegged them to be. They were not losers, or jokes, they were strong and capable witches and wizards. Hufflepuff's were badass, she wanted this more then anything in the world- she wanted victory.
"I'm nervous," She whispered to Ellie.
"The Durmstrang Champion's are... Dimitrij Saizew... and Prince Staffan Alrik Thorvaldsson." She got to know some of the Durmstrang guys, mostly in passing, and those trying to hit on her. She thought it was kind of sweet but she had to decline, cause she was taken by a beautiful girl.

"Not if we were the last two people in the world. But your jokes are getting funny, Leena, taking lessons?" Darleena would let him get away with it, because her spirits were high. She needed to remain possitive because tonight would be the night. She would find out if she would be Hogwarts champion, "She's Callum's little girlfriend...though, from the looks of it, doesn't appear that he will have her for very long." And just on cue, Callum entered the hall and made his way over.
"I don't see this going well at all, guess we'll find out." Darleena sighed, wondering just what Callum was thinking right now. She was still trying to become friends with her cousin, they had so much in common and both were concerned black sheeps. "So," Darleena smirked and gave Scorpius a nudge, "will you cheer me on if my name gets picked tonight? I know I haven't been the best cousin in the world but we're family, Scorpius, you know if you need me I'll be there."
The music cut out and Headmaster took his place on the stage. Darleena made sure to listen closely, it was already time to pick a winner... but what was surprising- two winners? So, now she had to compete with another Hogwarts student... great.
She watched as the houses got to flex, she did her own posturing. The first school was Durmstrang...
"The Durmstrang Champion's are... Dimitrij Saizew... and Prince Staffan Alrik Thorvaldsson."
"Bloody Hell," They were beasts, Dimitrij especially...

"Hi." "Looks like you have fun."
Anya turned toward the familiar voice. "Callum, hi." She momentarily had trouble thinking what to say with an odd feeling going through her. Was that... guilt? Couldn't be. She had nothing to feel guilty about, sitting here and chatting with Dimi. And yet, the look she saw behind the mask of Callum's smile kept that feeling going beneath her surface. Something was bothering him but she was obviously associating it to the wrong thing. She'd talk to him later about it. Right now, the awkward silence was drawing out. "Callum, this is--"
A commotion at the front drown her out and pulled the attention of all in the room, including herself. Marius had taken the stand, his magically booming voice sending everyone to take their seats. Anya took one last look back, expecting to see Callum's retreating form but he'd seemingly vanished. She was jostled from her other side and turned away from Dimi to see Callum squeezing in on her other side. She opened her mouth to ask what in the world he was thinking, sitting at the Ravenclaw table but promptly shut it when Marius addressed the room again.
She listened intently to his speech, clapping along with everyone, her eyes occasionally scanning the room, taking in the rapt attention and excitement on the faces of her peers. She still felt like an outsider a lot, especially in moments like these when a dangerous tournament was met with excitement rather than horror. Was she the only one who felt a sense of alarm?
The Goblet was hypnotizing, the way it glowed with life. Two pieces of paper shot out of the cup, startling Anya. She couldn't let out a nervous laugh at herself over jumping in her seat as she was holding her breath with dread. To her dismay, the first name read was Dimi's. It took her a couple beats to get over the alarming revelation enough to join the clapping. She turned toward him as he got up, watching his fellow schoolmates pat him on the back and congratulate him, but she was unable to form the word herself.

(Temp-played by Kevin)The hearty camaraderie amongst the Durmstrang students was contagious. Marius waited a few moments as they hoisted up their Prince and cheered for the two young men, for if they were not now, they would be when this contest was over. Two more puffs and the room tinted from blue to red as the Goblet sent forth the next pair. "And the Champions from Beauxbatons are... Cami Laroux and Nicolette Meilleur!" He produced the tickets, one in each hand for the chosen as they came forward.
The Headmaster gave them as long as he could, the same time to celebrate their fellow students as the first but time waited for no one and so the Goblet spoke up again with the third set of parchment feathers alighting in the older man's palm. "The Champion's for Ilvermory will be... Scarlett Stark and Shane Hudson." Ogden fixed them with a knowing stare and lowered his head slightly to peer through is brow but a genuine smile spread across his lips as the dance team would be their schools best hope for Glory.
