The sky above Hogwarts glowed orange from the sinking sun as the excited buzz spread across the courtyard. Students pushed closer, whispers flying everywhere.
Beauxbatons Carriage Landing
The elegant powder-blue giant carriage of Beauxbatons descended gracefully like a floating palace. Students stared as it landed with barely a shake.
Madam Maxime stepped out—her glamour unmistakable.
Then came Fleur.
Her silver-blonde hair glittered under the dusk light, and like always, she had half the boys drooling.
But the moment her eyes found Roy, she lit up.
Fleur (in pure joy):
"Roy!"
Before anyone could react, she rushed forward and wrapped him in a warm, tight hug.
Gasps echoed across the school.
Gabrielle:
"Roy!"She followed, giving a shy but affectionate hug.
The Girls' Jealousy Explosion
Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Astoria, Luna, Ginny—every one of them froze like statues.
Their eyes collectively narrowed.
Hermione (tight smile):
"And… who exactly is that?"
Daphne:
"She is very… friendly, isn't she?"
Cassandra:
"I didn't know French girls hug this much."
Ginny:
"She's practically glued to him!"
Luna (serious):
"She might be a Hugglenargle spirit. Very clingy species."
Roy sweat–dropped.
Roy:
"Guys—guys—these are my friends. I met them during the summer after second year."
He gently separated from Fleur (who still held onto his sleeve).
Roy:
"This is Fleur and this is her sister, Gabrielle.""And girls—these are Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Astoria, Ginny, and Luna."
Fleur smiled politely.Gabrielle waved adorably.
The Hogwarts girls responded together:
Girls (forced sweet):
"Nice to meet you."
Translation: We will interrogate Roy later.
Durmstrang Ship Arrival
The lake churned and a monstrous silhouette rose.The Durmstrang ship burst out of the water like a sea beast.
Karkaroff swaggered out.Viktor Krum followed, silent and brooding.
But all attention snapped away when the ground shook.
Arrival of the Valvas House
A deafening thumping sound rolled across the sky.
Students looked up—teachers froze.
A military-grade helicopter bearing a massive Valvas family crest descended with absolute authority.
It was loud, intimidating, and incredibly high-tech.
Ron:
"Bloody hell… muggles have dragons now!?"
Draco:
"That's not muggle. That's… Valvas."
The helicopter landed in the grassy field beside the castle.Four heavily armed guards in ceremonial gear stepped out first, forming a corridor.
And then—
Darius Valvas stepped out.
The retired Grand Duke of France, former elite general, a living legend.
Tall, commanding, silver hair, sharp eyes.Students instantly snapped straight as if they'd been drilled.
Right behind him:
Clara Valvas
Elegant. Beautiful. Dangerous grace.Clara, née Este—known in the Muggle world as a NATO figure, and in magical circles as a diplomat of the Valvas House.
And then—
Grayfia Lucifuge, the Silver Queen herself.
Her presence alone made every Durmstrang student tense.
Everyone Reacts
Hogwarts Students: stunned silence
Durmstrang Students:"…is this a royal house?"
Beauxbatons Students:"They came in a helicopter?!"
Teachers:McGonagall fixed her hat and stood straighter.Snape blinked—twice.Sprout clutched her heart.
Even Hagrid looked small in comparison.
Roy greets them
Roy stepped forward.
Roy:
"Grandfather. Grandmother. Grayfia. Welcome to Hogwarts."
Darius smiled proudly and placed a hand on Roy's shoulder.
Clara pulled him into a warm hug.
Grayfia gave a respectful bow.
Introducing the Girls to the Grandparents
Roy introduced Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Astoria, Ginny, Luna, Fleur, and Gabrielle.
The girls tried their best to act normal.
Clara (gentle smile):
"So many lovely young ladies around you, Roy."
All the girls froze.
Roy internally: I'm dead.
Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Madam Maxime Approach
Dumbledore walked up, smiling his grandfatherly smile.
Dumbledore:
"Darius, Clara—it has been far too long."
The Valvas grandparents greeted him warmly.
Madam Maxime greeted Clara with delight—they were old friends.
Karkaroff bowed deeply, fearing the political power in front of him.
Hogwarts whispers filled the air
"Roy's family is insane…""He's basically royalty.""No wonder he's so powerful…""Even Dumbledore is treating his grandparents like equals!"
The Triwizard Tournament had officially become far more complicated.
