Vlad and his peers were guests at this school, and they had all been taught to thoroughly respect their elders and anyone opening up their doors to them.

Unless, of course, those people were muggles or mudbloods. Either way, if Vlad only ignored the fact that statistically there HAD to be some here, then it would be okay.

So, he stood before the staff table, clicked his heels once and bowed low to the adults. "I vould like to thank you for velcoming us into this school. Ve are looking forvward to our stay here. My name is Vladimir Petrov."

Lie. He'd already encountered a particularly rude student. At least some here were intimidated by them. "Though many Hogvarts students appear too involved in affairs of the heart, we are sure ve vill keep up with our studies very well here. I look forward to visiting your library."

With that, Vlad repeated his bow directly at the Hogwarts headmaster, only for longer. "Headmaster Tate," he greeted as he stood, a little smile on his face.

And then... "You vill all love Headmaster Sputnik."

And with that, Vlad waited to be excused again.
