Alicia sat calmly at the center of the head table, watching as the student filed in. This was to be a monumental event for Hogwarts New Zealand and she was more than a little nervous. She looked down at Nicolas and then at Cecily and smiled at them. They had worked into the wee hours of the morning on more than one occasion planning the tournament out and making sure that all things were handled properly on their end. As the doors closed, Alicia stood and approached the podium.
"Hello hello! I'm sure all of you have heard already that we are to be hosting the TriWizard Tournament this year." She paused as some cheers erupted from some of the tables. "This is a deadly and dangerous tournament and some people have died during it. However, being chosen as a champion to represent your school is something that you can hold in pride for the rest of your life." She smiled at the young faces. "This year we will open the Goblet of Fire to student who are in the fourth year and up. For those of you who don't know, I will explain the Goblet of fire in just a moment...but first...." she looked up at the enchanted ceiling, "it looks as though we have some visitors." At these words, the large doors of the great hall banged open and students from both Durmstrang and Hogwarts Scotland as well as their Headmistresses, entered the Great Hall. Alicia waved her hands at the two empty tables so that they would have somewhere to sit. "Please take a seat." She smiled as they did so.
"Thank you. I was just getting ready to explain what the Goblet of Fire is for those who don't know. Actually, I'd like to first introduce Calypso Davis, deputy Headmistress for Hogwarts, and Evie Powell, Headmistress for Durmstrang. If you two ladies would like to join us at the Head table I would be honored." She paused again, allowing them to take their seats. "So, for those of you who don't know, the Goblet of Fire is this." She waved her wand and a very large silver goblet entered the room and landed on the stage. After several gasps of excitement, she smiled and continued. "This is how we select our champions. When this meeting is dismissed, you will be free to enter your name into the goblet. Once all the names are in the Goblet, it will select the champions from each school. These champions are selected by the Goblet and it's selection is based on those deemed worthy to be champions." She smiled again. "So, I'm famished." She chuckled. "How about we eat and then get started." She began to turn around, then stopped and snapped her fingers. "But before I forget. There are numerous charms surrounding the Goblet so no one who is not in the fourth year or higher is permitted to enter their name. The charms will know and I should hope that no one tries it anyway." With that, she clapped her hands together and numerous silver platters of food flew in and landed on the tables in front of the students and guests. "Let's eat!"
(((OOC-After a brief RP of watching the guests entering or (if you're a Durmstrang or HS member) of entering the school as the guests, you may then RP entering your name into the Goblet of Fire. I've also set up your houses on the lakefront (Durmstrang) and the lawn (HS). Please feel free to make yourselves at home.)))
