《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 4-1 | Pumpkin Pasties

"Anything from the trolley? Anything from the trolley?!" The trolley lady yelled out from the corridors, "Anything from the trolley dears?" She asked stopping in front of our seats.
"Packet of droobles and.. a liquorish wand.. on second thought just the droobles" Ron noticed he didn't have enough money to buy the Liquorish wand. Harry quickly got up offering to buy it for him as Ron refused.
"Two pumpkin pasties please?" I heard the most forced voice ever just outside our seats. I peaked out over Harry's shoulder to see Cho Chang standing smirking at Harry.
"Thank you" She smirked at Harry one more time before turning back to head to her seat with two other girls giggling. Harry just stood there watching her, breath taken.
"Two Pumpkin Pasties please" Hermione mocked as Harry quickly turned around sitting back besides me.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows. What's wrong with her! Please, he can do so much better than her come on. A slight feeling of jealousy ran over me.
"What's wrong with her is that she plays every guy. She only goes after the famous ones and drops them when she gets bored Harry" Hermione sighed. Exactly Hermione, thank you. You see, I would never do that.
"Heard she was going after Cedric but I guess now that Cedric fancies someone she moved on to Harry" She continued.
"Cedric fancies someone?" Ron asked with food in his mouth.
"Have you seen him with Evelyn at the Quidditch World Cup? Talk about love at first sight"
"Hermione!" I looked up from my book to throw a Droobles wrapper at her.
"Speaking of," She sighed putting down the Daily Prophet on her lap, "How can the ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn't there any security?"
"Loads, according to dad, that's why they're worried so much. Happened right under their noses" Ron said with candy filled in his mouth once again. Harry started to itch his forehead, I just looked back down to my book and continued to read. 'Two pumpkin pasties please' Gosh please.
"It's hurting again isn't it? Your scar"
"I'm fine" Harry replied.
"You know Sirius would want to hear about this, what you saw at the world cup and the dream" Hermione leaned in. The dream? What dream were they talking about?
"He'd also want two pumpkin pasties" I muttered staring down at my book. An awful lot of silence filled the air and when I looked up , everyone was staring at me.
"What, you guys want two pumpkin pasties?" Hermione laughed shaking her head looking back down at her newspaper. Harry soon looked away and started to write his letter to Sirius. He then gave it to Hedwig who flew out the window and to who knows where.

The students quickly gathered in front of the nearest window to look out at the flying carriage pulled by beautiful white horses. The Beauxbatons girls were here making their grand entrance inside the castle field. They all watched in amazement pointing at it in awe as the carriage slowly flew down.
Shorty after a small sail boat approached. Well what looked like a small sail boat. From the waters a big boat rose up, it was gigantic. More screams filled the corridors as I quickly ran back up to the girl's dormitories. On top of my bed were the Beauxbatons uniforms Fleur had sent me. Today the Beauxbatons girls will make their grand entrance into the great hall and I was expected to join them. I put on the uniform, tied my hair into a low ponytail and stood in front of a mirror. Beauxbatons uniform definitely fit me more, blue was my color. I took a deep breath before heading out of the common room and towards the entrance to Hogwarts.
(OUTFIT REFERENCE!)
I crept around the corridors making sure no one sees me, at least yet. I wonder what people will think when they see me, a Hogwarts student, in a Beauxbatons uniform. That's what they expected me in anyway but that didn't go right. Out the entrance I saw Headmistress standing next to Hagrid, she was extremely easy to spot because of her being at least 6 ft tall; taller than Hagrid. Next to her was Gabrielle in her dancing outfit and Fleur who greeted me with a smile.
"Evelyn my dear, it's so great to finally meet you" Headmistress came over giving my a hug.
"It's great to see you too Headmistress" I smiled looking up at her.
"You look beautiful in that uniform, I wish you would've chosen Beauxbatons"
I only smiled and didn't answer, I didn't want to be rude to someone I had just met.
"How will we be making our entrance?" I asked Fleur looking away from the headmistress.
"An old trick" Fleur replied spreading her arms out as blue butterflies started to appear in the air, then twirling three times before bowing. It really was an old trick she and I had learned as a child from Madam Natalia. A simple yet beautiful charm to create blue butterflies.
"I brought something for you" Gabrielle nudged me handing me pumpkin pasties. Oh Merlin, 'Two Pumpkin Pasties please"
"Thanks Gabrielle" I took it out of her hands and shoved it down my pocket. I'm really only taking it because it's from Gabrielle, otherwise I would've chucked it over the black river.
"We're ready for you!" Profesor McGonagall came towards the group of Bulgarian boys and then towards us and the rest of the Beauxbatons girls. She lead us down the corridors and in front of the great hall. Dinner had already started, inside I could hear Dumbledore's voice. Profesor McGonagall quickly whispered something into Filch's ears making him run into the great hall. The Beauxbatons girls stood right in front of the great hall with the Bulgarian boys behind us We were in formation, 2 in front, 3 behind, 2 again and so on. At the back was Fleur Gabrielle and I and behind us was Headmistress. The girls all tucked their arms behind their backs straightening their postures and I copied them.

"So, Hogwarts have been chosen to host a legendary event. The Tri-Wizard tournament" Dumbledore's voice echoed through the great hall and even out to the students waiting outside. "And for those of you who don't know, the Tri-Wizard tournament brings together three schools for series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. Let me be clear, if chosen, you stand alone. Trust me when I say, these contests are not for the faint hearted. More of that later, and now please join me welcoming the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic followed with the Clermont sisters and the Head mistress, Madam Maxine!" The door barged open as all the Hogwarts student's eyes laid on us.
The group of girls got a head start. As they were about one quarter of their way inside the great hall, Fleur Gabrielle and I followed with Headmistress close behind us. The girls opened their left arms shining the students a smile letting out a soft moan. I looked around to see Draco who looked at me raising his eyebrows. The girls walked forward about 5 steps before opening their left arm shining a smile right in front of Harry and Ron. The two seemed breath taken and Harry just looked at one of the girls like he looked at 'Two pumpkin pasties please'. His eyes quickly shifted towards me as he watched in shock.
The girls started to run to the middle of the great hall as Fleur and I quickly ran behind them. We stopped, opening both of our arms this time letting the blue butterflies appear. Row by Row the girls separated making way for Fleur Gabrielle and I. Fleur and I quickly started doing twirls, or pirouette making ourselves to the very front of the great hall while Gabrielle did a few gymnastics tricks. We stopped the pirouette once we reached the very front and grabbed each other's hand, Gabrielle quickly grabbing mine and we bowed.
Loud cheers filled the room followed by a few whispers and hands pointed at me. I looked around and met eyes with Cedric who had the biggest smile ever. I returned the smile and walked to the side of the room as Headmistress made her way to the very front.
"Now our friends from the North, please meet the proud sons of Durmstrang and the High Master Igor Kakaroff" Dumbledore said getting back up to the stand at the front of the great hall.
The door barged open again and the Durmstrangs boys came in banging some sort of stick on the ground. They banged the stick on beat causing sparks to form, then all started to run up to the front doing a lot of gymnastics tricks as the students gasped. Their entrance was much more faster than ours and unorganized, not that it's a competition. From the door two more people walked in with firm facial expressions, Victor Krum, the representative of Drumstrang and Igor Kakaroff. A boy in the front blew a fire snake out of his wand as the two walked up. Igor came and gave Dumbledore a big hug as Krum stood beside me. I took a seat next to Gabrielle in the Ravenclaw table and conveniently sat next to 'two pumpkin pasties please'.
"Have you seen Evelyn? I haven't seen her at all today" Hermione whispered over Dumbledore furrowing her eyebrows.
"No" I shook my head and turned towards Cedric. He wasn't even that good looking but all the girls would melt over him, even Evelyn apparently. She doesn't fancy me, I mean how could someone like her fancy some like me?
Suddenly, the doors barged opens and a group of really pretty girls walked in in blue uniforms.
"The Beauxbatons girls" Ron nudged me with his eyes glued on to them. The group of girls stopped in front of us opening up their arm shining us a smile. Ron and I looked at each other smiling, they were really pretty. Behind the girls I met eye contact with Evelyn in a Beauxbatons uniform. The other girls were certainly very pretty but she looked beautiful in the uniform. My eyes were glued on to her as she ran up to the great hall and started doing ballet twirls and then bowing. I cheered as loudly as possible in hopes she would notice me but to my disappointment her eyes were on someone else. I followed her gaze over to the Hufflepuff table and found Cedric who was giving her the biggest smile ever.
"So that's where she was" Hermione muttered, "So glad she didn't choose Beauxbatons, I don't like those girls"
"They're too girly for me" Ginny agreed. Girly, not sure what it means to be girly but one thing I can say was Evelyn looked dashing in blue. I just kept staring at her in hopes that she would turn around and give me a smile but instead her eyes were on Cedric.
