Having already entered the castle, Alice was oblivious to what was happening outside. The Beauxbatons students filed into the dining room quietly, standing at their chairs but not sitting – they would let their guests sit first, for even if they had terrible manners, as is the case for the Hogwarts party, as hosts the Beauxbatons students were honor-bound to be respectful.

"Les étudiants d'Hogwarts, ils sont terribles! Ils ne sauraient pas bonnes manières si elle frappés à la face![sup]1[/sup]" Alice said coldly, turning to her friend Danielle, who was standing next to her.

"Donnes-leur une chance, Alice! Ils peuvent n'être pas aussi mauvaise qu'ils semblent![sup]2[/sup]" Danielle scolded, albeit with a smile on her face.

In response, Alice rolled her eyes, smiling. "Bien sûr! C'est très probable.[sup]3[/sup]" They laughed, and turned to the door where their guests would be entering in any moment.
