"Or maybe as examples of manners." One of the girls standing next to Beatrice said. The headmaster for Durmstrang marched up between the two schools and spoke loudly.

"I believe that introductions could be done better in of doors." His voice was steady and commanding. The Durmstrang students still in their near perfect line waited for permission to enter the school. 

Beatrice glanced over the students assembled. Focused more, for now, on the Hogwarts students. They were the ones that had already been culled for the possibility of the tournament. Beatrice couldn't guess from the Beauxbatons who may be a potential champion. Hogwarts had brought more males than females. Durmstrangs students were about 80% male, but it seemed the British had sent almost a full 100% males. She looked over the two females, those that she considered a threat first over the males. Females were brutal. She had seen more fighting amongst females that went to dirty tricks than anything males did. Men were easy to manipulate. 

Beatrice leaned over to her friend. "Ich denke, diese ganze Tortur war eine schlechte Idee."[sup]1[/sup]

Her friend smiled and nodded back. "Ich erwarte, dass sie denken, dass dies die Spannungen zu verringern."[sup]2[/sup] 

Beatrice laughed. The three female friends followed their headmaster inside.



1: I think this whole ordeal was a bad idea
2: I expect they think this will lessen tensions.
