[font=Shining Like Stars]- Uhh- I'm not too sure about that. Um, I know that we have six grades... Outstanding, Exceeding Excellence, Acceptable, Poor, Dreadful, and Troll. In that order from best to worst. And I think on average, everyone total has acceptable, but I might be wrong.
You nod politely, although frankly you find this system rather strange. Would it mean that the gifted and the less gifted students would be side by side without necessarily knowing it? And how can the teachers know who is good and who is not outside the classroom? You don't want to get into trouble with the Hogwarts students so you don't say anything. But it's still weird!
Cody then spoke with a boy from another school. It must be said that the boy was the focal point of many people. Especially the first years. When Shimizu-san asked his question, the Hufflepuff started talking about a system that was totally unknown to you. And that was absolutely not an answer to your classmate's question. Cody finally understood and explained that Hogwarts was divided into four houses - what an idea - and that the winning house was rewarded. That's a bit less absurd. You still think that the boy said a lot of things for nothing.
- Thank you, you are too kind, Kobayashi-san. I heard that you are quite talented in music, art, and dancing. Perhaps you would be so kind as to show me your work sometime? I would love to see it.
That Shimizu-san thinks you have so much knowledge surprises you a little even if it's true. You bow again, wondering why he spoke in English. On second thought, it must be because of Cody. He's the only one who doesn't speak Japanese well.
- You are too kind Shimizu-san. Although it is true that I find my paintings quite successful. I will surely show them to you one day.
While you and Shimizu-san were talking, Sana was getting to know Cody. You suddenly turn your head when you hear "Shimizu". Honestly. You guys got here, like, 15 minutes ago. Cody has no right to speak to any of you with such familiarity. Even you, who have known Shimizu-san for much longer, don't call him Shimizu. At the same time, Cody is English, so you can't blame him for not knowing all the customs of Japan. On the other hand, you can't blame Aryaan for denigrating Mahoutokoro.
- Hahaha, yeah. Don't mind us. Our school is a liiiiiitle teeny tiny minuscule smaller-than-dust bit strict on grades and stuff.
- Aryaan! How dare you?

MENTIONING:

INTERACTIONS: OPEN

Felix was starkly aware of his surroundings as he watched the foreign students start to filter into the Great Hall. He had spent most of his day trying to avoid Arjan (@Serena Towers) and Charles (@Henry Knight) and had so far successfully managed to evade the two. Why the hell two of his least favourite people insisted on joining every trip to Hogwarts was unknown to Felix. It was bad enough that he had to share a school and dorm room with the two and it was starting to seem like he couldn't escape them.

Another thing that was making the boy rather cranky was the fact that he was being forced to wear Durmstrang's dumb uniform in front of everyone. Sure, he had to endure it at school, but the students of Hogwarts were used to seeing his own super cool person style. The dark red suit with gold buttons aligning the left side of his chest just didn't have the same appeal as a leather jacket. With Felix's pale skin, red easily washed him out.

When the Hufflepuff boy, @Cody Stevenson, greeted him, he started at the boy in shock. "... How the hell do you know my name?" Was all he managed to ask him. He didn't think he had made that much of a presence at Hogwarts, surely there weren't rumours about him. What would they even be about? "Cody, eh? I didn't know they let toddlers attend Hogwarts." He wasn't certain why he was so quickly defaulting to being an asshole, but he didn't like people knowing shit about him before he knew shit about them.

He was happy to find a friendly face in Serena, a hand raising to wave at the Hufflepuff. Things had definitely started out awkwardly when he had found out she was Arjan's sister, but the girl proved to be the polar opposite and Felix had quickly grown to consider her a friend. He would walk over to her and take a seat across from her at the Hufflepuff table. "Hey. Enjoying the chaos?"

Ayuma Kobayashi Japanese | English

Interacting: Mahoutokoro Students Mentioning: @Cody Stevenson @Henry Knight

Ayu was astonished when she stepped into the Great Hall. She had heard stories about Hogwarts but she never expected, this. The idea of visiting another school excited Ayu from the start. She was a pretty social person, and she thought it would be pretty cool to befriend fellow magical students from other countries.

As she followed the other foreign students into the Great Hall, she kept an eye out for anyone she knew. Before she could meet new people, she of course needed to get settled and find those she already knew. Suddenly, a table in the back caught her eye.

"Hey guys," she smiled, sitting down next to her fellow Mahoutokoro first years. "This place is so cool, isn't it? It's so big.. so many people," she muttered. She turned away from the table, looking for new faces to socialize with. She figured she'd befriend some Hogwarts students first, since this was their school after all. If she recalled correctly, the houses were... Gryffindor... Hufflepuff... Ravenpaw- no. Ravenclaw. Right. And Slytherin. Red, yellow, blue and green.

She stood up on her knees, looking through the crowds of people for the red, yellow, blue and green robes. She looked down the table, her eyes catching two boys, one yellow, one green. Hufflepuff and Slytherin, she said to herself.

"Hello there," she said in her best English. She didn't speak it often but her father was from London and her mother met him there, so she knew a bit of it. "I'm Ayuma Kobayashi, but everyone just calls me Ayu. First year, Mahoutokoro. Your system is pretty different here, huh?" She paused. "How good are your Quidditch teams?"

Action: Following Calli like a puppy dog, having social anxiety and popping the scary question.

Interact With Nate Smirnow@Haley Rose Mention(s) Alec Mason

Friday October 22nd 2021 Halloween Feast

Cash was late. Usually, they are the type of people that are never late for anything except when they decided to be late. Today was not of that day. Cash knew very well that today is the day where Hogwarts open its door for the other magical schools. Usually, Cash was not the type of person that cared about school functions.

The green eyes skipped the last school function which is the Blossom Ball. But ever since their mother asked whether this year have Fall Ball or not and the young Ironwoods confirmed their mother about it, Cash's mother went into full party mom mode. This includes asking what color their Fall ball outfit will be.

Whether the Fall Ball will be indoor or outdoor, whose Cash's date for the night. When Cash said they will go alone or not going at all to the ball, their mother had none of it. Then their worst nightmare came to life. Their mother told Cash that she had a good friend that now lives in Russia. Cash's mother and Nate's mom had been worked colleagues several years ago.

That good friend has a son that was named Nate Smir something. Cash did not bother to learn his last name but after their mother told all the details and practically forced asked the young socialite to send an owl to the boy, Cash complied with their mother's request. At first, Cash was skeptical about the whole thing. Their mother had a track record playing matchmaker.

First, it was Alec and now Nate. Though Cash was skeptical about the whole thing, still they wrote an owl to Nate. One owl turned two then three then it keep flowing back and forth between them and Nate. Turns out talking to Nate was easy. Cash told about things that they keep from their mother.

Talking to Nate was like taking a deep breath of fresh air and Nate is a wonderful human being albeit he was introverted at first. And so after changing to fit the occasion, Cash marched up towards the Great Hall. Once Cash arrived at the Great Hall, they saw familiar and unfamiliar faces. Cash looked up to the ceiling. The ceiling had been enchanted.

Pumpkin heads floated up above all the students that were present in the Great Hall. The fire had been illuminated on the walls, giving the room a warm ambiance. The serpent never saw the Hall so packed with students that are not from their own school before. Their green eyes bounced and scanned the tables one by one, looking for one particular boy.

Cash by now know what Nate looks like. Their mother had told Cash how Nate looks. Their green eyes bounce from the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and finally their own table; Slytherin. From all the green robes that were seated on the long wooden bench, one person stood out the most. Cash marched towards their house table.

They heard as Nate introduced himself towards the boy that was seated next to him. "Move!"Cash said to the boy. "You are in my seat"They told the boy. The young Slytherin send Cash a glared but move to the side to give Cash a space for them to sit on. "Are you Nate?,"They asked the jet-black curly-haired boy.

"I am Cassandra. Cash for short. We met finally in person after those pile-up high owls"They let out a chuckle and introduced themselves to Nate. "Not that I mind those owls that we exchanged. All I am saying is, it is so nice to put the name into the face"The Cuban descendant added. Cash thought Nate will be an ugly-looking kid.

But turns out for someone who is one year younger than Cash, Nate has a face that could rival those male supermodels. In another word, upon meeting Nate in a flesh and in person, Nate was not that bad on the eyes.

"Ok, uh, Tarja (@Liana Kerr), I learned Russian because I was in a community where people spoke Japanese, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Dutch. Of course, I only learned a little bit of some, and began to train myself towards all other languages like some previously mentioned." Cody nodded, hoping that what he said made sense. Granted, he was still standing in the same spot he was previously. He felt it unnecessary to add, but he was speaking to everyone around him when he said this. "While I go to Hogwarts, I never forget where I originally came from. Boston Massachusetts, in the United States of America. Thats why my accent is different than the typical residents here at Hogwarts. Also, the reason as to why I'm so short, and possibly hideous to you all, is because I'm a part goblin."

He looked over to Aryaan Shamsi (@Hui Ming), and laughed when he mentioned how strict his school was. But perhaps he shouldn't have. As Shimizu, or Shimizu-San (@Avery Chen, as he requested to be called, looked at Shamsi in such a way that made it seem like he was dignified about his school. As if you say something bad about your school, then you'll tear down the beast inside Shimizu-San. "Um, about the ghosts and legends, and history, and whatever you want to call it all, um, we have it all! We have multiple ghosts on campus, all are friendly, but one poltergeist I attempt to avoid at all costs. Actually, about the ghosts, I would like to take that back. Bloody Baron is sorta mean for a Slytherin ghost. Hufflepuff, my House, was founded by Helga Hufflepuff. She seemed to love cooking and all, and for some reason, a badger. So our entry way to our dormitory is of a hole, covered by a barrel top. The Slytherin's founder, Salazar, was one who created the Chamber of Secrets, which is a legend that I'll tell you about later if you're interested, he had the idea that ONLY Pureblood wizards could go to Hogwarts and he had a favoritism towards serpents. Gryffindor's Founder, has a place in Hogsmeade, I think, named after him. Godric's Hollow, and he had a sword for the bravest of the Gryffindors that Harry used quite a few years ago, like decades. The Ravenclaw's founder, Rowena Ravenclaw was brilliant, and it seemed, possibly obsessed with her own looks as well. Um, sorry that I'm rambling on. Feel free to ask me more questions if you are honestly interested." Cody asked, sighing as he realized how long he dragged on Shamsi's answer.

Fyodor gave a snarky response to Cody's rather simple question, as to whether she had any questions. "Um, are you sure you don't need any assistance? Um, if you were listening, our School is rather haunted, and I don't think they had ghosts and whatnots in Koldov..." The boy dragged out, a little reluctant to continue his statement.

Talking to Shimizu-san, he whispered, hoping to not attract the attention of a million more people. But as he was about to speak, Henry Knight slid next to Cody. Listening to what Henry said, he nodded. "Exactly. Thank you Henry!" Cody said, with his face brightening.

Sure, Sana (@Juniper Kelly) was trying to get to know Cody a little better, but it was a little weird. "Ok, um, would it be easier if I summarize a little about me?" He didn't wait for a response, as he began to talk, "Um... Sana? I am a Part Goblin, which would explain my short stature, and well, my accent is different than the common Hogwarts folks. I- I make awfully good grades here at Hogwarts, and I am eleven, meaning that I am a First Year here at Hogwarts. Um, I have a twin brother named Freddy, and a mom and a dad." Of course, what he was saying was rather simple, it would probably come out of a first grader's mouth, but he thought it'd make it simpler for everyone if he simplified what he was saying.

He turned to Felix (@Winnie Harper), who seemed to snarl at him. "Um, I know your name because it was rumored around Hogwarts. I think one girl here at Hogwarts, if you met her, I think you did anyways, has a liking for you. Um, I probably shouldn't tell you who, but its Aur- (@Aurora Ranvier) EXCUSE ME? HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A TODDLER? I AM NOT A TODDLER!" The part goblin bellowed, clearly angry that he was being called a human toddler for being so short. He made sure that everyone in the Great Hall, if they heard, could hear him. He was angrier than a bull at this point. No one, and no one calls Cody a toddler. "You know what? I don't care what Aurora thinks. You're like Mondays, no one likes you. Plus, if we lived in the land of the witless, you would be king."

Cody turned his nose away from the cruel Felix. How dare he insult Cody Stevenson, of Hogwarts.

With Henry Knight at his side, he was hoping he didn't deafen the poor boy with his bellowing, but a girl came up to them, Ayuma (@Valerie Laurier) was her name. She asked about the Quidditch teams, and how good they were. Of course, Cody was new to Hogwarts, but he was bound to see some quidditch action soon. So, he left that question up to Henry Knight.

Rosella was not the happiest to be returning to Hogwarts, at least not after the events of the summer. Who would have thought she would lose friends and classmates while visiting a different school? She had arrived by portkey with the rest of her classmates, immediately taking to the cookies that had been baked for them by the Slytherin head of house. She was not sure how the other students of Koldovstoretz were taking the return to the school, although she assumed the rest of the Quidditch team was having a bit of a hard time. She was not sure though, having tried out and received a spot on the team after the incident over the summer.

The young girl sighed as she brushed off her skirt as she made her way into what she had heard the other students call the Great Hall. The girl wore a black skirt with a grey long sleeved shirt tucked in, brown knee high boots clicking against the ground as she walked. She looked around, seeing many students greeting others from different schools. The girl looked around for a seat, noticing the few seats available as everyone got ready to eat. She did managed to find a seat across from a group that seemed to be good friends as they were talking to each other.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" she questioned the students. Not even realizing she had spoken in Russian. It was something she had to be aware of when visiting other schools. Not all of them spoke Russian and she had to remember to speak in English instead.

Hogwarts was defintely something, that much Jan could agree with the girl on who had offered him a greeting if the previous fiascos were anything to go on. "Jan Aaalberg of Durmstrang." The boy introduced himself formally pausing to shake her hand politely. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't really interactd much with the Hogwarts students with the exception of a few such as Katrina but it was a welcome chance if any to get acquainted with the personal residents of this castle. "Not my first time, no but your school defintely has a.." He paused to finish his sentence very carefully though he still had his reservations after that ball that had soured his opinion no less. "..unique atmosphere to it, I daresay."

It wasn't long before a third joined their chatter, something about the Hufflepuff Head of House who he had not the pleasure(or perhaps misfortune) of meeting just quite yet. "Imaginative?" The boy inquired raising an eyebrow as he looked between the two. That could mean a lot of things. He wasn't quite sure what to make of that so he let the topic rest for now as the boy pressed on curious as ever about the school though Jan had found in his trips here and back that curiosity tended to lead to surprises and his last surprise had been one he did not want to re-visit at all, first with the pleasant evening he was supposed to have with Katrina turned upside down by whatever snob had tampered with the drinks and then his utter and complete defeat and embarassment in that summer chess game, it had not been a good time and one he wanted to put behind him,

"And where might you be from?" He asked eyeing the boy critcally. He certainly wasn't no Hogwarts student, they were easy to pick out now with their uniforms and the same went for Durmstrang so that narrowed the options down a bit so he reckoned as long he wasn't from the loud and obnoxious group of the Americans, they would get along just fine. That school just seemed to be rambunctious by nature and it just didn't mesh with him. He held these thoughts to himself for now spearing a potato slice with his fork and plopping it into his mouth chewing on it slowly.

Returning to Hogwarts was simply exciting. Well, at least it seemed so to Maxi. He had always been charmed by this magnificent ancient Scottish castle, and was super into the idea of visiting it often. Jus think, this place is poetic - didn’t you see the charming lake and their courtyard? He longed for a stroll in the castle again, and maybe he’d even find some new inspirations on his new poems. Besides, Hogwarts was known for their well-organized balls - the last two times he’d been here was enjoyable (the summer camp was not), and hopefully it would be so this time. Especially, he was free from an arranged ball date this time, and certainly it would be fun.

But all of these excitements would only exist in his heart. His expressions were calm as usual, and his dark grey eyes were gentle. When heading for the feast, the-seemed-rather-unmoved Maxi would seek André out, and upon finding him he would calmly walk by the brown-haired boys side until they reached the Hogwarts castle. With a smile in his eyes, Maxi would inquire - “Well, my dear André, what you are looking forward to the most - the castle, the ball, or meeting up new faces? Actually, I’m sure you’ll be able to charm a dozen of girls, huh?” he added, grinning to his friend at the thought.

Upon their arrival at the feast, his dark grey eyes immediately went searching for the heads of houses, in order to see if the Hufflepuff head of house’s words were true. Among all these charming people, Maxi was most eager to catch a glimpse of the Slytherin head - she’s the daughter of spirits according to that honourable wizard who greeted them in the morning. Well, he knew it sounded rather ridiculous, but that man looked definitely honest and truthful - didn’t he?

Failing to find any of these adults, the light in his eyes darkened a bit. Making up his mind that he would constantly watch out for their appearance at the hall later, Maxi turned to André. “Erm, I mean, it is actually well-decorated.” he remarked. “Seems that these Englishmen have not lost their sense yet.” and again gathering his high spirits - others may perceive this at this moment, as Maxi could no longer keep calm - he merrily started. “Let’s pick somewhere to sit. The yellow ones,” - pointing at the Hufflepuff table - “are nice people. But maybe a bit too welcoming to my taste.” he pointed out, while eyeing a small boy [Cody] being surrounded by foreigners. What a pity his lovely cousin being absent from all these.

“But anyway, I don’t really mind where we sit, just a place that can observe the teachers’ table.” Realizing that he was never good at making decisions, Maxi threw the choice over to André, who was far better at dealing with people. Though unknowingly he brought up the thought of observing the Hogwarts professors, and - and, hopefully no one would pay attention to it.
