I mean, if I remember correctly, Cedric Diggory was one of the first casualties of the second war, right?" Then she stopped, being afraid would be a normal response from any student. But how would Dumstrang, specifically, think? Well...it is a school were dark magic is a normal occurance...Grindelwald did go there...So, she cleared her throat and added "I think, the students of Dumstrang would be less afraid compared to the students of Hogwarts and Beubaxtons...they all know how to effectively defend themselves from the dark arts...and to be honest, from what I heard from my relatives and from previous accounts of former Dumstrang students like Viktor Krum said that dark Arts is just an everyday sight for them..."

Iris smirked as the boy came back with sandwiches. Grilled Cheese... wasn't really her thing. But she was SOO very hungry. Cautiously taking one off the boys plate, she gave him half a smile. "Thanks..."

Now... teeny bites. Maybe it will taste better that way.

The Prefect listened to one of the other girls in her Green Group. While she had good points, Iris didn't think she answered the question fully. She started talking about fear and whatnot, instead of how the school would feel about it. But, instead of commenting on this, Iris used this girls ideas to elaborate hers more. "I agree with some of what you're saying. Although, I personally think that Durmstrang would have possibly have been a tad annoyed with the fact that Hogwarts got the Tournament." She took another bite out of the sandwich, "Because like you just said. Durmstrang learn the Dark Arts. They're less affraid of them. My guess is that when it got brought back, the Headteacher of Durmstrang - and a lot of the students - would have believed that Durmstrang was better suited for the Tournament for the very reason that the School is built around the Dark Arts. They'd have believed that they could make better challenges et cetera."

Iris smiled a little. "I personally think that if the Triwizard Tournament got reinstated and handed over to Durmstrang, they'd have been very pleased with this achievement... But there must have been some kind of discussion between the Three Heads and the Minister to decide which school got it. And with Dumbledore... Well, the other two heads wouldn't have had a chance, really. Which... would probably have annoyed the Durmstrang lot a fair bit, 'specially if they believed they could host it better." Okay, so this wasn't EXACTLY what the professor asked them to discuss, but it was Iris' opinion on the matter, and she'd tried to make it sound like it would work as part of the discussion. Everyone wins. Teehee.
