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.

"I'm not sure that Durmstrang Institute students were actually pleased with the news. I mean, I'd prefer the tournament being held at ours (Durmstrang Institute)." Because they were apparently cocky and showing-off addicrs. Meh. "Because we're stronger, tougher and have more odds of winning that we deserved this honor." She paused and hated the way she talked as 'we' for students out of Hogwarts. You could say that she was too loyal to Hogwarts.

"As for history repeating itself like other team mates have mentioned.." She smiled at the two students sitting not far from her, ".. I wouldn't worry about that. Cedric Diggory was a hero although after he was dead, and it wouldn't be a concern that someone becomes hero from Durmstrang Institute." Yeah, they would prefer glory with death than life without it.

However, continuing to write down in her notes while she rubbed her dozing off eyes with her other hand, her mood did perk up some when she heard the green team would be portraying the Durmstrang Institute. Hehehe! School of Mr. Mysterious! She really needed to ask someone what that guy's name was.

And then glare at them if they think anything of it.



Keeping her ears open for what her teammates were saying, and cringing at the sight of the apparent grilled cheese (which she noticed were sandwiches and NOT actually cheese that had been grilled), Evelyn turned around in her seat to look at the others. Ew, and some of them were eating the sandwiches!! They were just going to trust the guy to have not put anything in them other than cheese!?

Was there typically anything else in them but cheese actually?

Not that it mattered of course. But back to the discussion. It seemed that everyone basically already said how the Durmstrang school would react to such news. No need to repeat anything. "Yea, I...agree with all of you..." she muttered, waving her hand slightly before slightly turning back around in her seat. Seemed good enough. Yush.

The first reason is that holding it at your school may make it possible for someone to discover your exact location. Also, Durmstrang seems like a school that is very proud of their athletics and warrior skills. It always "appears" that everyone from that school is very proficient, but if someone from the outside comes in and sees everyones skills, like first years or new transfer students, then that may make them look less than perfect. Finally, it is thought that they may teach dark arts and it would be wise to not let every one know exactly how much they actually do teach."

Maybe then she would have an idea of what their school thought about the tournament being held at Hogwarts.

Hearing Evelyn pretty much agree with what the others had said she decided it was time to put in her two knuts. "I personally think it didn't matter to them (Durmstrang) where the tournament was held. They seemed confident enough in themselves that they would win that they really didn't need the advantage of the tournament being held at their own school. I mean what better reward than to win a tournament as huge as this when you are completely out of your element... away from your home, your school, your friends and your family. Not to mention they didn't have to worry about everyone finding out where their school is located." Maybe after class she would seek out that Durmstrang guy that was staying in their house and see what his opinion was on this topic.

They won't like going to other school and be treated like stranger or any stranger coming to their school. So the best would going in an institution which organizes just tournament for the students from different schools" she said and was bit tense to see if the professor did really like the answer or she got confused in the whole stranger thing.
