A World Filled With Magic (Sun & Kia)
A World Filled With Magic Hogwarts of Wizardry and Witchcraft, a wonderus world to show the youth what is out there in the real world. Yes, magic is real, as real as you and I both. There is no escaping it, you may ignore it, you may pretend it don't exist, however, it very much does exist. Dumbledore sits with the teachers in the back of the food hall ready to give his speech once all the students enter. New Students would be arriving, of different years and ages; some with different skills and others with none at all. Quote:

Sunday Roast: This Good Enough?
As children entered the doors to the great hall, each of different ages, new years to final years. Dumbledore got ready to stnad up and give his speech. Once again another year of magic begins, however, this year, there is something different out there. More interests, magic, friends, and oh so much more. But, not only is there soemthing sinister afoot, there is also the Tri Wizard Tournament that only sixth and seventh years may enter. "Silence" Dumbledore spoke using his wand to echoe his voice throughout the hall as children sat down knowing it was time to start. The first day was always there to get used to the things and classes around the school. The second day classes would start and then the year of training along with magic would also begin. "I must say this before I get too far, Mr. Filch has asked for all students to stay out of the forbidden areas and the forest unless surpervised. We do not wish for any deaths or unwanted circumstances to occur." Dumbledore began as he added more to what he was saying. "Well, looks like this year will be fun" Patrick said to his group of friends as he sat at the Gryffindor table, though he kept his voice low so it would be amongst the few whispers. "At least this year we have the Triwizard, my mum said it was going to happen for the 6th and 7th years" April Hutters said to Patrick as she went to put her head down. April was always the student who loved to sleep, it was rare to get her up, let alone to be awake in class or during free times. Everyone who knew her wondered what she did to always be so tired. "This year the TriWizard Tournament will be held, new events will be created to test your skills, and yes all 6th and 7th years may enter. Under some circumstances though. You must have good scores in all your classes throughout the entire Tournament. If you do not, then you will have to forfeit your spot if another wishes to join in, however, if no one wishes to take your spot, then that spot will be left empty. One from each house will enter, but, only one will enter. And others from other schools will be apart of this as well, I just heard that they will be arriving soon. So until then, let the feast begin!" Dumbledore held up his hands as food appeared and everyone just watched in amazement or the same old thing happening. Dumbledore took his seat with the rest of the teachers. |
((I'd forgotten about the Triwizard thing, if I'd have known I'd have put my oc's in the foreign schools xD ))
Silence filled the hall as Dumbledore began to speak, Mellony was one of the many who now turned their attention to him. Each year began with the same speech, warning students away from the forbidden areas of the castle and surrounding grounds and then the feast would follow. This year however, there was something new in the speech, the Triwizard tournament. Two other schools were coming over to compete and Mellony really wasn't looking forward to it. There would be so many strange faces, different languages and some students would be more intolerable than usual. As soon as the speech ended, the many plates lining the House Tables were filled with many different foods and everyone began to chatter amongst themselves. The girl on the left of Mellony turned to her, a smirk upon her lips. "Y'know, I heard that all the guys in Durmstrang are built like brick walls, I can't wait to see 'em." She said, piling a generous helping of mashed potato onto her plate. "It'll make a change from all the scrawny Hogwarts boys, won't it, Mel?" Mellony just shrugged her shoulders and began to poke the pasta on her plate with a fork. "My grandmother attended Beauxbatons, she said that each and every girl attending looked beautiful." Her friend frowned upon hearing this. "Sounds like I'll have some competition then." Christian was looking forward to the whole thing, putting his name in the Goblet and even meeting the foreign students. Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, two very different schools with very different teaching methods. Thankfully he'd learnt French and the basics of numerous other languages while home schooled, though he'd only use it if it turned out the students couldn't understand English. Chewing idly on a chip, he listened to the conversations going on around him and most of the sixth and seventh years seemed to be planning on entering their names too. Of course he knew he wouldn't get picked, but there was no harm in trying, right? Though did he really want the stress of representing Hogwarts in such a renound tournament? If he failed he would never live it down... No, best not to think like that at this stage, it was far too early. Finishing off the now cold chip, Christian turned to his friend and struck up a conversation. |
(You can make one if you wish, I didn't think about that honestly, this headache is killing me and my thinking is minimum right now. Maybe later when it comes up, we could always make a character for a different school or just pick our own school to control (we each get one) and just do it that way)
(And I realized my new oc's both start with "P" lol I was NOT trying to do that on purpose. Also I borrowed my metal shop teacher's name, I may not be in school but at least I remembered his :) Ok that and he was good looking, so sue me I was/am older than most the kids at my school last year) Patrick was talking to Abe about how he couldn't wait to see the girls from the female academy "Now you know you can't deny you want to see them" Patrick began like every other boy would have about the girls school. "Yea, but, you're only thinking of their faces, I think of all of them" Abe replies back to Patrick grinning. "Yea minus what they think" Patrick knew that Abe was the type of boy that mostly was old fashioned. Paige laughs to her friends as Katie says "I wonder what class will be like tomorrow" Katie was always into new things and learning them as well. As far as her friends, she was the only one. Paige was more of the girl that you couldn't keep her on the ground, she hated heights but loved the sky and wind as much as she loved flying. "Oh I just can't wait until flying class starts, I've done good every year and I just can't wait" Paige was now lost in her thoughts. (Oh and were our OC's going to pair up with the opposite Oc's or were we just going to pair them up with whoever? Just curious, I'm sorta bored atm) |
((Nah, there's not much point now, I already have two characters. We may aswell just pick a school and control it, or even change it slightly. Instead of a Triwizard tournament, it could he a Hogwarts tournament? A champion from each house chosen to perform various tasks, winners of each task get a ton of house points?))
Mellony continued to poke the pasta on her plate as her friend, Victoria, continued to go on about the Durmstrang guys, much to the dismay of her boyfriend sat directly opposite her. All Mellony could do was offer him a sympathetic look before finally starting to eat her food. Doing her best to zone out, she heard the boyfriend mention the Beauxbatons girls and that soon shut Victoria up. Christian and Jack's conversation didn't stay on the tournament for long, instead they turned their attention to the lessons, wondering what they'd have tomorrow. Okay, they had both chosen Potions, but neither of them were hoping they had it first thing tomorrow. Slughorn was great, but having lessons down in the cold, dark dungeon was not his idea of fun. "I hope we have charms tomorrow, or even transfiguration." Christian began. "I'd even settle for Herbology, though knowing our luck we'll end up with potions." ((I'm not sure, how were we going to get them all together? >.<; My memory isn't that great at the minute xD )) |
(Replying to now, I barely had time for other stuff last night)
Beauxbatonshad arrived at Hogwarts first, the Durmstrang boys were next, each year, something or someone knew would arrive. The beauxbatons still had the same headmistress as they did before, surprisenly she was very tall and respected at that. Ten girls walked in gracefully after Dumbledore spoke "Our guest, the Beauxbatons have arrived" with that cue, the girls walked out, heavenly sighing left while walking then stopped, heavenly sighed motioning on the right. Of course they changed their routine a bit, because when they started elegantly running down the walkway, something on their back glittered or sparkled. An outline of angelic wings shown as they were lifted an inch or two off the ground but only three girls had them as the rest kept the heavenly sighs going when it was their time. At the end while the girls on the floor were waiting for the three up in the air to come back down. The three angels descended to the ground slowly as a burst of angelic wings turning into feathers spreaded across the room. (this was all I could do before my brother needed to stop messing witht he dvd player) |
((It's fine, sorry about taking so long with my reply, works been hectic this past week.))
It was another couple of minutes before the announcement came for the Durmstrang students, their arrival had been delayed by the Giant Squid. But upon their introduction, the doors to the Great Hall burst open and thus began the show of power and discipline from the school from the north. All of the males carried heavy staves, smacking the bottoms against the floor of the hall as they walked, creating both a heavy 'clunk' and a spark of fire. Half way down the hall the staves began to twirl, creating a Catherine Wheel effect with the flames changing color. Two males stormed down the middle, performing various tricks and flips, showing off strength and discipline. Upon arriving before the teachers table, they bowed down on one knee and retrieved a torch from their belts. After striking along the floor, the torch burst into flames and the two males blew into them, creating two dragons made of fire that then proceeded to fly into the air and circle the room. As this was going on, the Durmstrang headmaster, Karkaroff's former aide, walked into the hall with an aide of his own and a female student stood at his left. She was tall, her dark brown hair pulled back into a high ponytail and she wore the same uniform as the guys. When the three reached the teachers table, they too bowed down as the dragons clashed over head, sending sparks of flame raining down over them. |
((As it's been over two weeks, I've moved this to my inactive folder. If you ever decide you want to continue, drop me a pm, otherwise I'll eventually delete this thread from my subscriptions.))

The students from Hogwarts watched in amazement. Dumbledore walked over to Karkaoff to welcome him to Hogwarts "Welcome my friend, its great to see you again" Dumbledore said placing his hand on Karkaoff's shoulder after watching the amazing show provided by the Durmstrang studnets. The children chatted back and forth as the teachers also spoke about the act.
Patrick was talking to Ryan about the introduction provided about each school, however, his eyes caught the female Durmstrang student with brown hair. "Get over yourself man, there is no way a girl with that much class will be yours" "and what? she will be yours? ha thats a laugh" "I never said that man, all I said was she won't be yours" Ryan spoke laughing. Paige turns to Katie "So, what do you think about classes?" Kaitie sighed shaking her head "Quit thinking about being miss smarty pants and focus on the guys, Paige" Katie spoke watching the guys from Durmstrang with interest. Paige felt something slither up her shirt and poke out through her sleeve of her robes "Oh there you are Racer, I wonder where you went off to" Paige pets and talks to her pet snake, more like her familiar. Not many had snakes and those who did tended to be in Slytherin, not other houses. |
As the Beauxbatons girls entered the room and swept gracefully across the hall, all heads turned to watch and many of the guys found themselves swooning. Christian was one of those that had turned to watch, though found himself unable to swoon as his friends were. Sure, the Beauxbatons girls were beautiful, there was no denying it, but they were far too Barbie like for his tastes. "Your starting to catch flies." He commented, noticing just how wide Jacks mouth was hanging, though his words seemed to go unnoticed. However, as soon as the girls were seated and Durmstrang made their entrance, Jacks mouth snapped shut. Once both schools were seated, Christian once again looked to Jack. "A Durmstrang girl? They really are breaking with tradition." Jack frowned and looked between Christian and the Durmstrang table. "There's a girl at that table? Where?"
Mellony found herself watching each of the schools performances with awe. The girls were so dainty and the guys were so primal, the complete opposite ends of the scale and Hogwarts seemed to be situated in the middle of both. The girls weren't overly girly and the guys weren't covered in thick muscle. No.. she was glad she was at Hogwarts, she would never have made it in Durmstrang or Beauxbatons. "Did you see the guys?" Victoria spoke, having finally tore her gaze away from the foreign schools tables. "So handsome and strong!" But then she pouted. "I bet they'll spend their entire time here chasing after those stupid Beauxbatons." |
