Sergei was, quite frankly, enjoying his time at Beauxbatons. Sure, he wasn't the Durmstrang champion, but that meant he had more leisure time - outside of classes, that is. He was only a 6th year, too, so the workload wasn't
quite as much as it would be for a 7th year. And by then he'd be back home in Russia, and not have the novelty of living in Beauxbatons. So by then, he'd be fine.
Being the only sixth year from Durmstrang - and the only boy, for that matter - had both its advantages and its disadvantages. For one thing, being the only male on the ship was hard. Sometimes he just wanted another guy to talk to, and while he was used to female presences (having grown up with both his mother and with Katerina), sometimes it just got a little lonely. And he didn't really know anyone else in classes, either. While that meant there were more people to know (and hearing the Beauxbatons girls giggle when they looked at him, and seeing their blushes did swell his ego quite a bit), he just wished for a familiar face to sit in class with.
Walking around the school, Sergei stopped as he saw a girl in a Hogwarts uniform looking a little lost. She was in his classes too, he was sure - maybe this was an opportunity to make a new friend. Even though she had a classmate from her school, he was the champion so no doubt she felt a little lonely, just like he did. "Hello," Sergei began, in tentative English. "You are from Hogwarts, yes?"
