The students gathered outside the school waiting along with the teachers not knowing what was happening. Everyone had there eyes in front on the sea and open sky.
"What the hell are we waiting for?" Amelia asked irritated from the long journey standing beside the chocolate boy.
"I heard my father say our school is hosting something and guests will be arriving" He replied himself confused.
Suddenly a whole rally of blue carriages could be seen being pulled by beautiful flying horses. It didnt take Amelia to recognise to where they belonged.
They were beauxbatons' carriages. She knew about they ofcourse, she had been in the school for two years before getting expelled.
"You've got to be kidding me" she muttered to herself gawking at the carriages.
After the carriages went, a colossal ship emerged from the sea. It was beautiful. Everyone watched the scene in amusement.

"Why are you so awfully quite?" Draco asked Amelia sitting on the slytherin table, the feast was about to begin, the sorting was going on.
Every student was pissed the sorting took very long this time, and everyone was hungry from the train ride, eagerly waiting to dug in.
As soon as the last students got sorted into ravenclaw, every students let out a huff of relief. But dumbledore had other plans. The bloke got up for a very long speech announcing about the triwizard tournament the school wad going to host.
The twins interrupted him by shouting telling its unfair if its for everyone whose not 17. Amelia had already read about the tournament and knew it is very dangerous, people die in it. Her eyes trailed forward reaching the hufflepuff table, on the certain brown haired boy, seeing he seemed excited about it. She knew he was 17 too, so he was surely gonna try for it.
He somehow felt someone's gaze on him and turning his head slightly he met her eyes. Amelia blinked rapidly after being caught, Cedric just passed her a charming smile winking at her.
"Now lets welcome the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic with their headmistress" Dumbledore cheered. Amelia was hapoy and anxious at the same time. The door opened wide and in stepped beautiful blue dressed ladies of Beauxbatons. Every boy, literally every boy had their jaws hitting floor.
Rolling her eyes she once again peeked over to the hufflepuff tabel wanting to see if he was staring at the girls like other or not. But he clearly wasnt, he was looking at her only. Amelia felt her cheeks flare up so just looked away briskly.
Amelia recognised each and every face in front of her from the Beauxbatons academy. She shrank to Draco's side not wanting to come in their sight just yet.
"What happened?" Draco asked.
"You really dont remember where i got transferred from?" Amelia asked giving jim a deadpanned look. Realisation dawned upon his face and he stared her in disbelief.
"Merlin's beard you must know them, will you help set one of them with me?" Blaise chimed in excitedly, Amelia rolled her eyes. Boys.
Instantly her eyes came in contact with one of the most beautiful girl in the crowd. Fleur Delacour, she was a few years above Amelia, but they were on good terms, when Amelia got transferred.
Fleur stopped in mid tracks for a mili second for passing her a acknowledging wide smile, Amelia nervously smiled back.
"That one girl is smiling at you is she your friend?" Blaise exclaimed.
"Shut up, she is much older than us." Amelia said rolling her eyes.
"I dont see a problem with that" Blaise muttered scowling, moving his attention back at the girls and staring at them in awe.
Their performace finished, and in stepped a giant woman, she was even more taller than Hagrid. The headmistress of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxine.
She smile politely looking at the students around her, as her eyes were about to fall on Amelia, she instantly laid her head down on the table, not wanting to be seen by her.
Amelia hated that woman, she herself expelled her. Both of them found each other insufferable. Dumbledore got up quickly to bring tha giant lady on the stage, kissing her hand. Amelia's eyed moved forward, seeing Hagrid watching the woman in total fascination, he was blushing.
Then the blokes from Drumstrangs made entry, every guy fit. Now it was girls turn to stare.
Amelia looked up at them not very pleased, her eyes collided with one of them, who passed her a sly smirk before continuing his stunts.
"OMG Amelia he smiled at you!" Pansy gushed excitedly.
"If thats what you call smiling then Sev's the happiest person on the planet." Amelia said shaking her head.
Instantly remembered, Sev, her uncle. Her eyes darted on the teacher's place once again, gulping she looked over at her uncle found him glaring at her already, she tore off her gaze immediately. Who knows how long he had been staring at her like that.
She didnt dare look at that place again, even when Dumbledore introduced a new teacher, Mad-Eye Moody, the name instantly rang bells in her head, he was a very successful ex-auror, but his profession was mainly not the reason for his fame. It was his eye.
The students of beauxbatons sat with the ravenclaws while the guys from Drumstrang sat on the slytherin table. Draco really wanted to initiate a conversation with them, so he did.
The guy that smirked at Amelia, introduced himself to Draco as Ivan Schmidt. Amelia payed no attention to him unlike other girls on the table, but could feel his eyes on herself.
The whole night went on, new people introducing themselves telling about their schools. The girls from Beauxbatons were assigned ravenclaw dorms while the Drumstrangs were assigned slytherin ones.
Next day Amelia was on her way to get her timetable of this year from Mcgonnacal but suddenly someone pulled her in an empty class causing her to let out a shriek.
"Be quite will you?" She heard the familiar melodic voice. Her eyes widened and let out a squeal engulfing the person in a tight hug.
"Merlin Fleur you scared me!" She said pulling away.
"And you scared me with these robes on, you look like a vampire" Fleur said holding the fabric of her robes. Amelia rolled her eyes.
"Atleast these are are comfortable unlike these" she said holding the fabric of the blue beauxbatons uniform.
"You have changed" Fleur said pouting. Amelia shoved her shoulder playfully.
"I hope in a nice way, btw where are the others?" Amelia asked excitedly.
"I dont know the place' name let me just take you" Fleur said pulling her with her. As soon as they stepped out Amelia collided with a figure letting out a yelp.
"Damn- Cedric!" She exclaimed looking up.
"Good morning to you too" he said smiling at her then his eyes moving to the blonde veela beside her.
"Hello, Cedric Diggory, nice to meet you" he said extending his hand for her. Amelia stared at their hands while they shook, making sure they both had just polite expressions.
"Fleur Delacour, its nice to meet you too" Fleur said smiling pulling away.
"Do you both know each other?" Cedric asked looking at their comfort.
"Yep, forgot i was in beauxbatons for two years?" Amelia said smiling rolling her eyes.
"Right, i cant even imagine what you looked like in this uniform" Cedric said smiling supressing his laugh. Amelia glared at him playfully.
"Dont start with that okay, or i am not gonna talk to you" Amelie said playfully threatening him.
"Sorry, btw meet me in the library after lunch?" He asked scratching the back of his neck.
"Sure, anything important?" Amelia asked.
"Yes, will tell you there" Cedric said.
"Fine-"
"parle ร ton copain plus tard, les autres meurent d'envie de te rencontrer" Fleur said interrupting there conversation, Amelia widened her eyes while Cedric stood there confused.
(Translation : Talk to your boyfriend later, the others are dying to meet you)
"il n'est pas mon petit ami" Amelia said as her cheeks flared up.
(He is not my boyfriend)
"dis-toi รงa, regarde son rougissement quand il te parle il t'aime visiblement" Fleur said smirking at Cedric.
(Tell that to yourself, look at his blush when he is talking to you, he obviously likes you)
"arrรชte il ne fait pas" Amelia said glaring at her but still smiling.
(Stop he doesnt)
"You know i am standing right here and i cant understand anything" Cedric piped in folding his arms.
"Oh sorry, we'll just go i'll meet you in the library" Amelia said quickly embarrassed running away from their.
"You really had to embarrass me in front of him" Amelia said.
"What he was cute" Fleur said laughing at her. They entered an empty place outside the ravenclaw common room, where the Beauxbatons girls sat.
"รด mon Dieu, c'est Amelia" One of them exclaimed in shock watching Amelia come in with Fleur.
"Oui, tu as raison" Amelia said bowing mockingly, immediately being engulfed in tight hugs.
(Yes you are right)
They spent hours talking about everything. Amelia couldnt have been happier being united with her old friends.
"Vous m'avez vraiment manquรฉ les gars, si seulement cette salope n'รฉtait pas si difficile, j'aurais pu รชtre avec vous" Amelia said smiling and pouting.
(i really missed you guys, if only that bitch was not that difficult i could have been with you)
"les filles ne gardons pas Amelia maintenant, elle a aussi un garรงon ร frรฉquenter, celui-lร aussi trรจs beau" Fleur said smirking suggestively, causing all the girls to squeal.
(girls lets not keep Amelia now, she has a boy to attend too, that too very handsome one)
"He is not my boyfriend, we are just friends" Amelia said rolling her eyes smiling widely.
"Then what are you blushing for huh?" Sophie, one of the beauxbatons girls asked playfully.
"I will just go, because you guys are not going to listen" Amelia said shaking her head getting up.
"Atleast tell us his name" one of them called Amelia shook her head and ran away.
She reached the library found Cedric already sitting on an empty table reading a heavy boom. Amelia smile to herself seeing how adorable he looked when focussed.
"Ahem ahem" She scoffed playfully reaching near him, he looked up instantly putting a big smile seeing her.
"I didnt knew you called me here to watch you reading, i am not that fan of you diggory" Amelia said in a playful tone, Cedric chuckled and closed the book outting his full attention on her.
"I didnt plan on that either" he said smiling.
"Well..?" Amelia said gesturing him to begin.
"I am putting my name in the goblet of fire" Cedric said firmly in one breath then waiting for her to react. She stayed silent just staring at him.
"Well..?" He imitated her gesturing her to speak. Amelia inhaled sharply.
"Did you even think about what you just said, Cedric, why do you want to take a part in it. If you dont know let me tell you its a very dangerous tournament, didnt you hear dumbledore yesterday? He said clearly this tournament may ask for sacrifices. Why do you even want to do it. Its worthless. Theres no need for you to do it. Someone else from Hogwarts will do surely. I think this is a bad idea for you, i dont know why but i just do. I dont want you to get hurt even a bit. Are you understanding me? Wait why am i even trying its not like you are gonna listen to me or something, neither i have a right to tell you what to do or not, but i will still not let you do it. Every participant gets hurt, no matter what. The last time this tournament happened the winner lost his one leg. Are you understanding?-" Amelia rambled hotly before being cut.
"I thought you would support me" He said staring at her.
"Well you thought wrong" Amelia snapped standing up. He pulled her down.
"Amelia i thought you'd really be happy and support me, I want to do it, please" Cedric said still holding her hand.
" you can plead all you want but i wont let you step in a life threatening tournament, no" Amelia snapped again standing up.
"Well then watch me tomorrow put my name in it" Cedric said almost in the same tone standing up and leaving. Amelia stood there feeling like an idiot.
She didnt talk or even saw him after that the whole day. She sat grumpily in the common room reading a book on the tournament on the couch until the twins showed up.
"Hey shorty" George said, both of them plopping themselves on either side of her. Amelia just hummed not looking up from the book.
"What happened?" Fred asked putting an arm behind her head.
"Nothing" Amelia said sighing and closing the book.
"I surely know something happened" Fred said making her look at him.
Amelia shook her head smiling a bit.
"You tell what happened?" Amelia asked changing the subject.
"Yeah right, we need your help" George said grinning mischeviously.
"When you dont" Amelia said rolling her eyes.
"Shut up and listen" George said hitting the back of her head lightly.
" We need you to brew a potion for us, and you cant deny" Fred said dismissively.
"When did i sign for such a thing?" Amelia asked squinting her eyes.
"Stop being dramatic and come, we have got an empty classroom, brew it for us and we will give you whatever you want in return" George said. Amelia thought a minute knowing obviously they are on some mischeif but agreed.
They led her to an empty classroom and told her to brew an ageing potion. Amelia smirked knowing why they want it, and also knew Dumbledore is no fool, that he'll be tricked by them. She didnt protest and brewed them the potion.
"I know what you want it for" She said smirking wrapping everything up.
"You are smart and thats why we cane to you otherwise we could have gone to a book nerd like granger, but she' ll be no use." George said, Amelia snorted.
"Okay you said you will return the favour" Amelia said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Your word my lady" Both said in unison making her laugh. She told them what she needed getting a wierd look. They both agreed to her wish and waited for tomorrow.
"Wrong of you, Ced, to think i will sit quite" She said to herself smirking and drifting off to sleep.
