Welcome One, Welcome All (Opening Feast, ALL STUDENTS/STAFF)

A/N: All are welcome to post as much as they like while waiting for the announcements.

Stacy did sit in her table quietly durining the feast time, she didn't know that much her housemates still, even if she has been here already four years now. It's her fourth year here. She sighed and listened headmistress. She knew what Triwizard competition was. So she wondered who will be choosed for that this time.

After two days passed the other school arraived but Stacy didn't talk with anyone from there. She really wasn't that social one right now. She didn't talk with strangers so easily now, in her school she knew people through classes but these other school students were totally strangers. She sat there quietly on one chair and looked what others did. Some did talk, others did stare at people like her and so on. She sighed and soon looked at ceiling, it wasn't good idea to stare at the people all the time.

OOC: Who ever wants can come to talk with her or anything like that. I don't mind who you are really.

Juliette gracefully left the carriage, throwing apples towards the beautiful creatures and sent a smile towards all of her students. Looking around at Hogwarts, she let out a blissful smile and raised her head high, walking into the old castle. Bowing her head towards the Durmstrang and Wolfclaw students, her light purple Grecian style gown danced along the floor and seated herself by the adults.

~
Artemis watched all the students enter the school from a window, intrigued by every single one of them. The headmistress of Beauxbaton drew her attention, enjoying the grace but also enjoying Durmstrang's brutal appearance. Wolfclaw caused the wolf girl to tilt her head, the darkness flowing off of them in waves. Quickly seeing Ian, she leaned down and pecked his cheek before making her way towards her table, sitting next to Kaida.

~
Kaida was unimpressed, seeing the schools before years ago but still paid attention, trying to find something different but traditions never change. Twirling her hair around her finger, she spotted Artemis sit next to her and they hugged quickly. ''Headmistress of Beauxbaton is Juliette, she seems really nice but also deadly. Headmaster of Durmstrang is Igor..No messing with him and Headmistress of Wolfclaw is Amelia...Pretty sure the Devil's wife.'' Kaida whispered into Artemis' ear who raised her eyebrow. ''No messing with anyone...got it!'' The slytherins laughed lightly and sipped from their goblets.

~
Ember watched every one closely, raising her eyebrows at some quick stares but simply turned towards her housemates and began talking. It was strange to see so many people inside of the school but the air quickly filled with noise, making it feel a little more normal.

~
Aphrodite rolled her eyes at the Beauxbaton students but winked at the Durmstrang, chuckling to herself as she made her way towards Artemis and Kaida, catching the end of the conversation which caused her to laugh even more. ''You...not messing with people? You've got a year to prove that..'' She teased and Artemis swore. ''A year!? This is gonna be a long one..'' She muttered causing the other two girls to laugh at her.

~
Celeste shot a grin at William, waving towards him before rushing towards Artemis, wrapping her arms around her shoulder. ''Look! Durmstrang looks amazing! Imagine going there...It'd be so cool!'' The over excited girl practically beamed with happiness and Artemis laughed. ''Calm down, little Dragon.'' She teased and placed the girl next to her before handing her a goblet.

~
Soraya rushed towards her twin, hugging her tightly before whispering. ''Same time every night? Miss you twin..'' She kissed Cinnia's cheek and looked up towards Ravenclaw table and sighed as she walked towards it. Sitting down in the midst of the boys, she smiled and laughed with them, occasionally shooting winks towards the Durmstrang students.

~
Dahlia padded out of the carriage, stroking one of the horses necks and kissed its cheek, thanking it for its service. Her wolf Larentia followed her happily, occasionally sniffing the air before Dahlia sent the wolf off to stay with the horses. ''I'll come see you later..'' She whispered, kissing the white wolf's forehead. She followed the other students inside of the hall, trying to find her own Slytherin among-st the crowds. Her heart grew with excitement at the thought of them being together in the same school for a year.

~
Laureth used her staff to exit the carriage as Chimera quickly rushed out to be right next to her. Gripping onto the large mane of her dire wolf, she almost stumbled into the the school but Chimera nudged her into balance. It was new surroundings, mixed with new smells but she ignored them, walking into the hall with her red hooded cloak trailing behind her. Finding a spot next to Eros and other members of her house, she sat in silence and just listened to everyone.

~
Lethia jumped out of the carriage, arms linked with her twin. Ever since Conner was allowed into the pack, Lethia made sure to protect them both more than she usually did. ''I feel like we've just entered some sort of child nursery...'' She muttered, not sure if in disgust or not.

~
Mayari laced her hands behind her head just as she escaped the confide space of the carriage, having a headache from all of shrieking of excitement to be somewhere new. That's when a girl bumped into her from practically running to the front to see the school. Mayari grabbed the back of her collar and yanked her back, growling. ''I've just been a carriage with you...yipping like little mutts. We're wolfclaw students. Act like it before i rip vital organs out of you.'' She said and the girl glared, sliding out of the girls grip and hung back, wary of the odd tattoed girl. Entering the school, Mayari shoved up her sleeves, cracked her fingers and smirked at some of the looks she gained as she made her way towards Laureth who happened to be her room-mate, stroking the top of the Chimera's head.

~
Ginny sat with her house, swirling the contents of her goblet to make a tiny whirlpool as her look remained expressionless. Letting her eyes wander up to see the students, she became intrigued by wolfclaw and their odd looks. Seeing how different they were, she made note to possibly befriend one and perhaps learn a thing or two.

~
Calypso smirked at her twin looking around but the moment she saw no one looking at her, she raised her head a little bit to look for Darius. Shrugging when she saw nothing due to the crowds getting so big, she quickly found herself a seat and smirked at Artemis who winked cheekily, having formed a friendship through mischief.

Severus swept into the Great Hall, gritting his teeth at the headache, he already could feel approaching at the loud chatting of even more students than usual. As if one school was not enough! He just hoped that the other headmasters had them under control, but he already knew Igor from their time serving under Voldemort and he had heard a lot about the Headmistress from Wolfclaw, so he did have some hope that disaster would not strike too quickly. Severus sat down next to one of his new colleagues and nodded politely towards her. Unlike him, she seemed quite amused with the whole situation.

Mio fell in the seat next to Ian and Neville and pulled his younger sister on the bench with him. His friends had already been introduced to his siblings on the train ride a few days ago, so would not question the younger girls' presence. "I think they look cool." he answered Neville and reached over to ruffle his hair. "Never fear, mate, we won't let them touch you." he said grinning which in turn made Charlie snort who was sitting a bit farther down the table with his siblings. "I'm sure they will have other things to do than go around threatening people, Longbottom." he commented chuckling. "I think you should worry more about the Wolfclaw students."

Thanatos shook his head at his sister and rolled his eyes. "I'm sure you're girl will be around somewhere." he muttered. Slowly but surely, he was getting a bit pissed off with all the love talk in his family. Maybe he should get himself some girl this year as well, he thought glaring around.

Sithon skipped into the room and looked around for his pretty flower, spotting her next to some older guys. Not caring to look at them, he jumped her from behind and nuzzled her cheek, causing Mio to almost throttle the boy. Luckily, Violet had warned him of her new friend, so he kept his temper in check and just glared at the boy. "Hello, sweet Hana." Sithon whispered into her ear, not even looking at the older Gryffindor.

Jarlath, Lezar and Amatus strolled into the great hall, rolling their eyes at the excited chatter of the other students and walked towards the other Wolfclaw students. "I don't get why you are so excited, princess." the Araneae slid onto the bench behind his blond girl and rested his chin on her shoulder, growling possessively at any guy who dared to look at her while Jarlath just chuckled and took the seat next to his sister. "Maybe it will be quite fun?" he tried to lift his friend's mood a bit. Lezar fell into the seat beside him and shrugged. He was excited to finally be in Britain for the first time, the place where his ancestors used to live.

Jumping off the ship, Sergej quickly checked out his surroundings with his sharp eyes before relaxing slightly when nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He followed their headmaster into the castle and sat with the other students from Durmstrang.

The insane laughter of his brother immediately set Azrael off and he almost jumped out of his seat next to Junis. "What? What is it? Why are you laughing like that?" he asked frantically, knowing that his brother's excitement never meant well for other people. "See how excited they all are? For a tournament where the chances of someone dying are quite high?" Seth was barely able to speak through his laughter, though his eyes were glinting with malicious glee. "And you guys say, I'm the mean one." he pouted slightly before cracking up again. Azrael sighed and facepalmed, shaking his head at Junis to let her know that everything was fine. "You're mad, brother." he said, even though his twin's argument did make sense, kind of, in a very mad way, but that's how he was.

Amatus bared his teeth at his girl and a guttural growl escaped him as his eyes narrowed at her words. "Watch carefully what you are saying to me, princess, for I will not take this cheek from you." he pulled her face towards him by pulling at her hair, not caring if it pained her. Her kiss quickly cooled his temper again and Amatus awarded her by bruising her lips when he kissed back. "I promise, I get you some poor bastard to kill later, darling." he chuckled and shot a glance at the other girl. "I am so sorry, my dear Syrinx. How remiss of me not to acknowledge you." Amatus smirked and bowed slightly. "I hope you are just as excited as Elena." "Amatus, you charmer!" Jarlath exclaimed laughing and shook his head at his friend.

Sithon snickered and burrowed his face in the long dark hair of the girl in front of him, completely ignoring everything around him. "Forgive thy lowly servant, sweet maiden." he ducked his head, an amused smirk playing around his lips.

Elena bit her lip in pain, but at the same time it kind of turned her on, as always when Amatus got a little rough with her, so she just enjoyed the fierce kiss he gave her. "Thank you, sweetheart, I would enjoy that very much." she gave back and leaned back against his chest, winking at Syrinx who shot an amused glance at Amatus. "I am." she agreed chuckling. "And nevermind, I know you're eyes are only drawn to blond girls." Syrinx threw back her head and let out a howl of laughter.

Violet laughed and ruffled the boy's hair before shooting a shy glance at her brother, grateful that he was not making a scene. She did not want the teachers to get a bad impression of her, especially she did not want her father to notice anything.

At the quiet voice of one of her fellow students, Fleur raised her eyes to a young girl and motioned to the seat beside her. "Sit down, Estelle, it does not look good on a lady to stand around like this." she said calmly, but with a gentle tone to her voice that was usually absent. Fleur was very protective of her younger schoolmates and often took on the part of a rolemodel.

Estelle nodded and then took a seat next Fleur. She knew that all of curse. That's what people have basically told her that already few years now. "So you're excited about this event?" she asked the question then basically again she didn't really get a proper answer before. She did a smile a little bit too. Fleur kind of was rolemodel for her since she was few years older than her for sure and she kind of wanted to be elegant like her and so on.

Inclining her head to the side slightly in thought, Fleur looked at the younger girl for a few seconds before smiling gently. "I don't think excited is the right words, my dear, but I am eager to find out who my opponents will be." she said confidently, not once believing that anyone but her could be chosen for the tournament. Fleur had been training for months just for this event and she was ready to prove her skill.

Estelle did nodded her on that. "Oh that I wanna get to know basically too," she said then with smile to her and wondered what else to say. She haven't really been very talktive one. "I hope you'll too goo and win it," she thought it would be good idea to say so she did.

"I will not bring shame to our school, of that everyone can be sure." Fleur told her schoolmate with a determined expression on her face. She might not win the tournament, but she would do her best to make her school proud. "I hope I will be the only girl though." she said thoughtfully. Losing against guys was one thing, but against a girl would be just bad.

"That's good to hear," she then with smile back. She really hoped that Fleur will do good. "Oh yeah let's hope that too," she had to agree with that. Being only girl was sometimes a good thing but she wasn't sure if it will become true since there in the Hogwarts and also in Wolfsgang or so was many girls who cane be the chosen one here. She looked around the crowd, here was really a many people, she couldn't even count how many.

Deciding to change the topic which always placed great pressure on her, Fleur gracefully crossed her legs and turned slightly on the bench to better look at the girl beside her. As she was one of the younger ones, they had not often talked before now, but Fleur was not bothered by that at all. Her own younger sister was not unlike Estelle, so she would just treat her the same way. "You don't seem very comfortable around this many people." she commented calmly.

Estelle wasn't really sure what to say there now very much either so she hoped that Fleur will come up with some kind of topic since herself didn't had really any good ideas at all. When she heard the question she nodded her head basically. "It's true, I don't feel comfortable around so many people," she even said it just in the case.

Morgan stood outside Hogwarts simply taking in the sight before her. It had been so long since she walked the halls as a student, and, now, here she was. She had been asked by the Minister of Magic to take a post at her old alma mater as healer for the champions of the Tri-Wizard Tournament. She had been surprised since she was Head Healer at St. Mungo's and, of course, wanted to be sure that things would manage without her for the year. After much reassurance, Morgan accepted. Making her way into the Great Hall, so many memories washed over her. Taking her seat with the other special guests at the front, she couldn't help but smile, overjoyed to be back. This was going to be a year to remember, she could feel it...

Sitting at the head table, Briana watched as not just the Hogwarts students filed in, but those from Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Wolfclaw. Tipping her head to each of the Heads of School as they followed close behind, Briana wondered just what kinds of adventures and antics she could expect from all the new faces. Classes were sure to be interesting, along with the time in between. Spotting her daughter, she gave Chase a wink and a bright smile before picking up her goblet and taking a drink.

*

Rowan and William entered the Great Hall and took their seat at their house table. Glancing around to see if Atticus was anywhere in sight, Rowan sighed slightly. "Don't worry. He's just running a little late," William whispered to her with a wink and a small smile of reassurance. Nodding, she returned his smile. The school was all a buzz with talk of this tournament, and both Ravenclaws couldn't wait to hear more about it. As the other students arrived, William caught sight of Celeste and gave her a wave in return. "She's cute," Rowan teased and received a light, playful nudge from her housemate. It was sure going to be a rather interesting year, that was for sure.

*

Making sure her robes were just right, Lara headed to the Great Hall with Hannah. Her new Prefect badge catching the light from the torches and candles as they went. Entering, both girls spotted Ian and Neville and decided to join them. Well, Lara would until Romulus arrived, then she would likely go and sit with him, if he didn’t join her. Smiling sweetly at the boys, Hannah commented, "It's not going to be a dull year this year." Catching a look at Neville, Hannah looked away, tucking a lock of blonde hair behind her ear as three sets of new students walked in. "Drumstrang and Wolfclaw don't look like people to mess with do they?" Lara asked in general.

*

Faye entered the Great Hall and simply took a seat at the Slytherin table. Her cousins were likely going to join her soon, but until then, she sat and simply observed the other students as they walked in. The ones from Wolfclaw drew her attention the most as they seemed like the rough and tumble crew that might blend nicely with her own house.

*

As Zephyr entered the Great Hall, he sent his younger cousins a wave and crooked grin. Is she coming? Yes... When? She’s probably here already. AND YOU DIDN’T MEET HER?!Some gentlman you are! Hush... She had to arrive with her school. It’s not my fault I didn’t go meet her. We weren't allowed. Since when were you a 'law abiding citizen', Zephyr? Since we were told to not and I had other matters to attend to... THERE! ZEPHYR, THERE! Ticking and wincing slightly, he looked where Calix was pointing and spotted her. Walking up behind Dahlia, Zephyr slipped an arm around her waist from behind and nuzzled her neck. "Welcome to Hogwarts, Dahl..." he purred darkly in her ear, lightly kissing her cheek.

*

Quinn was running late and it was driving her crazy! She just couldn't get her tie to, well, tie right. "Great first impression as a prefect, Quinn... Get it together!" she mock-scolded herself. Giving up, she just let it hang, untied, under the collar of her shirt. "I'll deal with it later..." she commented as she headed out of the Common Room and into the Great Hall.  Plopping down at the Gryffindor table, she continued to fuss with her tie as the other students entered. Pausing to watch them file by, she was particularly impressed with the uniforms of the Durmstrang students. Taking a quick glance around, Quinn tried to see if Fred had made an appearance yet. Not seeing him, she returned her focus to her misbehaving tie.

*

Serena all but skipped into the Great Hall with Ron. It was so exciting that the tournament was going to be held HERE! Taking a seat next to Quinn, Ron followed and sat across from the girls. Glancing around as the students from the other schools entered, his eyes fell on a blonde from Beauxbatons. True, there were several blondes, but this one in particular just struck something inside him. Maybe he'd get the chance to talk to her. Don't be daft, Ron Weasley! You have all year! I'm sure you will get the chance to talk to her... Serena watched as the guest students walked by and seemed rather taken with the Wolfclaw crew. They were different... Sure they were all different, but those from Wolfclaw had an air of dark mystery about them. Taking a moment to look for her brother, not seeing him, Serena fell into conversation with others from her house about what the year might hold with so many new faces attending.

*

Luna slipped into the Great Hall and took a seat with Rowan and William. Her blue eyes were just a touch brighter than normal at the idea of the tournament taking place and the guests that would be in attendance. Waiting patiently for the meal to start, Luna sat quietly and watched as the students from the visiting schools filed in. She had heard about the tournament, both good and bad, and she could only hope that this tournament would go by without major incident.

*

Slipping her robes on as she exited the Common Room, Danika headed to the Great Hall. She was looking forward to the tournament and all the excitement that surrounded it. Even the idea of new students for a year was somewhat exciting, as well. Brushing a straw golden lock from her face, she scanned the hall to see if she spotted Dominic anywhere. Not seeing him as yet, she slipped into the seat she generally occupied at the Slytherin table to wait for him. As the students filed by, one boy with dark eyes from Durmstrang winked and waved at her. Offering a friendly smile in return, Danika watched as three different sets went by and gathered with their own, all waiting for things to get underway.

*

Exiting the carriage with Thia and Sin, Conner stood tall, arching his back making it pop. Taking Sin’s arm in his, as well as Lethia’s, he walked with them into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Nodding and smirking to her comment, he answered, "Does seem rather... tame... compared to what we are used to." Leading the girls to a table that was filling with others from their school, Conner allowed them to sit before he took a seat next to Sin. He had gotten several looks from the girls from the host school as they walked in, but didn't pay them any attention. As the other two school entered, he made a mental note that really the only school that seemed to have the air of standing up to Wolfclaw was Durmstrang. However, each school had its strengths, and Conner knew it.

*

Once the carriage arrived, Shay stepped from it and took the hand of her girlfriend, Tala, helping her down. Linking her fingers with hers, she took a moment to check to make sure her uniform was in order from the ride. When she saw all was well, Shay led the way into Hogwarts. "Sure is brighter here..." she mused as she and Tala entered. When many eyes followed her as they walked by, thanks to her being in the boy's uniform, she smirked and leaned into whisper to Tala, "Your girl is being checked out. Maybe I should have opted to dress like you tonight instead of in my own uniform..." Taking a see with the others from Wolfclaw, Shay kept both a protective and possessive arm around Tala, resting her hand on her hip.

*

Stepping from the carriage, Racquel took out an apple and cut it into pieces, enough for each of the magnificent beasts to have a piece before running to catch up with the others from her school. She had heard stories about this tournament from her brother and was excited to actually get to see it, first hand. Falling into step with the others from Beauxbatons, she filed into the Great Hall and was immediately taken with the subtle elegance of it. Tucking her blonde hair behind her ears as she looked at the candles floating up above, Racquel made her way to the table her school was filling. Sitting across from Fleur and Estelle, she sighed happily. "C'est magnifique... Don't you think?" she asked the others, offering a smile to a group of boys from Durmstrang that were eyeing her, before looking back at her schoolmates. Racquel looked up to Fleur and knew that she had been one of the students from their school prepping for this tournament, but, seeing as they only just arrived, she didn’t want to bring that up. Estelle was a kind soul, too. One that she easily got along with.

George sat down at the Gryffindor table with his twin and his other family. Both he and Fred were excited to see what all this fuss was truely about. "Why would they have the other 3 schools coming here for welcoming feast? Something HAS to be up!" He encouraged his brother.
---------------------------------------
David took a seat across the table from Mio and smiled at Ian, Neville and Violet. "Hey guys, and Vi." He then looked around the room at the different people from different schools that were here "I'm telling you.. those Wolfclaw guys make Slytherin's look like harmless bowtruckles" He said, not really nervous, but cautious.
---------------------------------------
Robert was deep in conversation with his twin, Ethan. "I swear something is up bro, why would Hogwarts invite people from Wolfclaw or Durmstrang if nothing was up. Like I would understand just Beauxbatons. I mean look at them, they almost put Hogwarts girls to shame" Ethan laughed and said "What about Lilith eh?" Robert blushed slightly and simply murmured "no one puts HER to shame."
---------------------------------------
Zacharias Smith was doing what he does every single day..boast about stuff he could never really accomplish. This time he was talking to anyone who would listen "I tell you all, I know excactly what is going on! My father is well connected you see, which is only fitting given his blood, I tell you, this is going to be a great year to come, and Hufflepuff will finally get some glory. I will make sure of that!"
---------------------------------------
Jack was.. too say the least.. pissed off. He had been looking forward to Wolfclaw for years, and now that he was finally able to go..they end up going to Hogwarts for some stupid thing. Jack sure as hell did not want to socialize with anyone from Hogwarts this year, and did not plan too. He walked up to the table Syr was at just in time to catch the last part of the conversation. He then interjected with a hand on Syr's shoulder "I don't know, Brunettes are pretty hard to resist.." He smirked

Sierra walked into the Great Hall and made a beeline for David. "Hey Shuter." She smiled at him and giggled. "How was your summer?" She asked with a grin on her face. She remembered their time together the previous year and giggled at the memory. She smiled at the rest of his friends and took a seat beside David.

Ashton walked into the Great Hall of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardy along side his brother Apollo. He looked around for a certain blonde beauty. Then, he saw her. His little Dragon." He said good bye to Apollo and went over to Tatsu. "Hey gorgeous."

Apollo watched as his brother went over to some blonde girl and he sighed and took a seat at a table. He wished he could be more like Ashton and just go talk to a girl. But that wasnt his style. He just sat there \and watched the other people in the room

Amatus was about to comment to the girl when some younger student joined them. "And who are you, boy?" he drawled slightly annoyed. He usually did not bother with any of the younger students, except if they proved to be worthy partners and so far he had not heard anything of the boy. Jarlath and Lezar wisely kept their mouth shut and pretended to be interested in some of the pretty girls from Beauxbatons that were sitting not too far away.

Mio grinned at David when he finally joined them. "So you don't want to piss them off?" he asked cheekily. He wasn't stupid and his father had told him not to mess with any of the wolfclaw students, but he couldn't help but think of ways to prank them. When the two girls joined them, Mio had to bite his lip, so he wouldn't laugh at how one of them was looking at Neville. He really hoped that his friend would finally become a bit more confident and maybe a girl would help.

Charlie looked up when his brothers joined him and shot them an amused glance. "I'm sure you two will not be bored this year." he agreed grinning. Even though he was the older brother who should be more mature, Charlie always enjoyed the their pranks a lot.

David rolled his eyes at his best mate "Of course not, I'd LOVE to piss them off. When can we start?" He grinned cheekily back at him, with a wink shot at Ian "This year is going to be the best one yet!" He was picturing all the stuff they could pull together with Artemis when Sierra walked up and sat beside him "Seriously? when are you going to start calling me by my first name Sierra?" He chuckled then said "Spent time with my mom, aunt.. and these idiots over here" He gestured at Ian and Mio. He then said "yourself?"

Jack looked at the man "Jack Lambert, what's it to you?" he said in a 'whats your problem?' tone. He was not scared by the older man, and knew if he was to gain any respect, he had to show it.

"And why should I do that, babe?" She giggled and kissed Davids cheek. She held his hand under the table and smiled. "That sounds fun. I pretty much just hung out with my family and my friends." She hadnt had an eventful summer. "I couldnt wait to get back to school to see you."

Seeing the nervousness on Estelle's face, Racquel offered her a soft smile. "Don't be so nervous. We are all in a new place with new people," she said trying to brighten her schoolmate up. "It's a grand adventure," she whispered with a wink.
