"What do you mean, what I vanted?" Amber fake-glared, purposely mocking his thick accent. "I was just showing you that people like me can do the same exact things you can. Except you made an extreme effort to get everyone's attention and were expecting them to fall to their knees and beg for an autograph." Amber really wanted to go back to her seat and be bored again, but this was turning out to be a lot of fun.

"Brielle, I do believe you caused both of these fine young men to blush." Monique said with a smirk to her friend. "You had a very fine attempt." she said to the blonde Carter boy. "But it is 'Bonjour'." she corrected. She then turned toward the other red boy. "I do miss hearing French, perhaps we can speak sometime?" she asked. And then, of course, she added another wink.

Then a familiar looking boy came up. "Ah, bonjour Monsieur Master of Everything." she said greeting the new arrival.

She then glanced at the girl that was there out of the corner of her eye half tempted to ask if these were her boys that were drooling over Brielle and her.

Brielle could tell her presence was getting to the brunette, and she had to admit, she loved it.

It was obvious that Patroclus and Joshua, were consider 'her boys' and that only spiced up the situation.

"Zat blushing looks cute on you Patroclus," she smiled at the redness on the boy's cheeks, making sure the girl was watching, "and Joshua, I am sorry but oui that is a Non, but I must zay good on you for trying."

It seemed she had touched a touchy spot with the girl, "Ohh so he is your sweetie, but then why is Patroclus blushing, oh" it dawned on the Seventh Year, "It zeems I 'ave as you say it, put my foot in it. Pardon."

Brielle couldn't help by let a large smile crepp across her face, this was too good!

"It zeems I 'ave Monique" Brielle smiled gleefully at her friend, "Oh so you know Monsieur Joshua?" she asked on Monqiue, "It zeems you get around!" she winked at Josh, hoping the girl saw.

Patroclus was slightly confused, he thought Evelyn had met his mother, but it seems she hadn't. Opps.

"Oh, well she's French, and that makes me Half french.....sorry I thought you knew." Patroclus felt really bad, they had been close for quite some time now, and he thought that his heritage had been common knowledge.

His blushing seemed to have become a permenent tattoo, and then further compliments from Monique didn't help. "I am free for a chat whenev-" he cut off his reply, waring of Evelyn, "whenever." He didn't want to hurt Ev's feeling, but also he had been taught to be a gentleman.

As Brielle spoke to himself, Josh and Evelyn the room seemed to shake as she said something, the three of them had been dancing around for months....

Patroclus didn't know what to do, or what to say, he just looked at Evelyn, deciding to take his cue from her.

The wad of Droobles stuffed into her left cheek seemed almost too much for her mouth to bear as the ickle firstie chewed it in nibbling fashion careful not to open her mouth lest the precious wad become disengaged. She looked in on the room - which indeed was VERY crowded with people -all with presumably the same idea she had, getting a peep at the goblet of fire.

Haughtine found an empty spot near a few girls and watched at the cool flames bounced and undulated right out of the cup. Who would put their name in next?

"Thanks!" he replied smiling at Grayson as he turned to look back at the crowd around the Goblet. He saw a few more students drop their name in. ".... although whoever's gonna get chosen as the Hogwarts Champion will need a little bit more than luck." he chuckled and shrugging his shoulders.

Realizing that he was now "one of those" vying for Hogwarts selection, he couldnt help but ask the next question "Uhm, other than me and uh... Diggy, who else do you know that has entered their name in the Goblet?"


Glancing off to the side, Salander spies a very young girl sitting alone not far from where they stood, he motioned to Grayson that perhaps the little girl needed some company. "Hello there!" he said as he squatted by her side. "Is it your first time to see the Goblet of Fire?"

Still thinking idly of other things Salander's name made her think of, it took Grayson a moment to get back to the current situation. It was all just too fascinating, and for once she couldn't concentrate on the Goblet. Maybe she was just getting tired of watching. But as he acknowledged her comment, she grinned. "You're welcome," she said, trying not to giggle at the subsequent statement he'd made. "Very true. But at least it's a start, right?" She blinked as it seemed something else had occurred to him, though. Hmm. He was considering himself as someone she knew. She'd already made that leap, but that hadn't meant he would have. It was nice to find people who looked at things like she did. "Mmmm, not a whole lot. Half the people I know either graduated last term or aren't old enough." At least, as far as she knew. But she could still try to answer his question. "You, Diggy, um, Raiden. Cameron. And I guess you could sort of say I knew a couple of the visiting students." She'd met Aleksandra and Noel, at least. But she figured he wasn't really counting them in the discussion. Only Hogwarts.

But then he was motioning to her, and she glanced around. She hadn't noticed the little girl in her previous scans of the growing crowd, and paused as he went over to her. Part of her didn't want to give up her perch on the railing, but then the polite thing to do would be to go over. It seemed Salander sort of wanted her to, at least. Hopefully nobody would steal her railing and she could just come back later. After maybe making another new friend. Jumping off, she walked over in time to hear the question he'd posed, and another soft giggle crept out. "I think it's the first time any of us have seen the Goblet," she pointed out, before giving the girl a smile. "Hi." It was harder seeing what was going on from here, what with not having the height advantage anymore. But at least the girl could relate, she figured. Of course, said little gum-chewing girl needed to respond, but at least she'd made a move. Even if it was 'cause Salander had.

" "Well, you will be old enough in a couple of years" Rex told " The Lady of Gryffindor" " Well, thanks, I l like to think I am brave" Rex said to Daisy. " Good ,another sketch" Rex smiled.

" Evelyn, you would be a great choce for the Tri-Wizard Tournament" Rex told her. Finally, Rex got up enough nerve to talk to Evelyn. " You are very decicated, brave and tough" Rex explained to Rose.

" my name is Rex Trigwell" he introdueced himself to the DurmStrang student. " You look like you would be a good canditate for the Tri-Wizard Tournament because of your brains and muxcles" Rex explained to her.

It appeared that the blonde french girl was not going to help him. *sigh* He was hoping that she would be as helpful as she was beautiful. And mentioning that she was beautiful, Josh had just started to pay attention to her looks when Evelyn spoke up snapping him out of it.

He was not allowed to call her sweetie. Smiling the boy looked back at the Slytherin girl. If she did not want him to he would not call anyone sweetie of course.

He looked back at the French girls when Monique greeted him as the Master of Everything. Hehe. ''Bonjour, Monique!'' he greeted her back with a little bow. Then watching the others, Josh laughed some when he realised all the blushing thing Brielle and Monique were mentioning, not knowing that it was going to lead him to hear something shocking.

"Ohh so he is your sweetie, but then why is Patroclus blushing, oh"

Each word the French girl pronounced echoed in his mind and he immediately turned to look at Patroclus then at Evelyn and vice versa. Was not Patroclus blushing because of the French girl or was there something he did not know?

And seeing Patroclus was looking at Evelyn, he turned his gaze to the Slytherin girl as well.

Carson smiled and shook Kellen's hand. "Fourth year - Slytherin," she clarified with a smile when he said his house and year and realized she hadn't said it herself before adding, "I guess you do have a point there." She chuckled slightly at his words.

"Well, I'm glad she's still got her thing-that-could-only-maybe-be-called-a-nose. That way you don't have to be known as the person who honked her grandmother's nose off. That would be unpleasant," Sam said with a nod. "YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR EARS INTO FRUIT?!?!?!?!!!!!" THAT. WAS. SO. COOL. He'd maybe said that a little loudly, though...

"Bon... bon... bonjour." Carter said still glowing a bright red. He was pretty sure he was blushing bad enough that if the lights were off he would glow in the dark.

But at least he said it right this time...

Oh, and there was another wink. That's when Carter lost all control of his senses and suddenly found himself bumping right into the arm of Patroclus. Then he was able to catch himself.

What just happened? Did he just... swoon?

Then he noticed everyone's gaze. He felt as if he missed something since everyone was looking at Evelyn. Deciding not to feel left out he joined in the staring contest.

Master of Everything....

She wasn't allowed to call him that. Neither of them could call him anything. Or talk to him. Pfffffft! And why would she want to talk to Patroclus in French? Were her other classmates in blue not enough? What about talking to her Headmistress? Or that random dude that turned into a bird...

But all thought was lost with what the blond-ish haired one said next. Well, she hadn't really thought about why Patroclus was blushing. She assumed it was because of her! That French girl! But then...

Wait, what?



Turning to look at Patroclus, a bit of a confused expression on her face no matter how much she tried to hide it, she found that he was staring back. At HER. Oh....ohhh....

He was...blushing because of the French girl....right?

....Right?

Just the thought of it being the other thought made herself blush. But, wait, NO! Josh was here! Turning to look at the other Gryffindor, she found that he was staring at her also. This was horrible timing. That French girl...Breanne or whatever her name was...KNEW what she was doing. Pfft, Ev had to admit though, she would've done just about perfect in Slytherin. Glancing between the two, the Slytherin nervously laughed, trying to play it off cool. Not working so well. "Ummm...whaaat?"

And why was Carter staring at her? Wasn't he drooling over the foreigners? OMg, where was MARIE?! Or Destiny? "We should...we should gooo..." Right. Grabbing Josh's and Patroclus' arms, she tugged slightly on both, praying to Merlin that they'd follow. She only had two arms though so she couldn't really grab Carter. Evelyn thought though that he wouldn't care if he was left behind. Just hope that Marie didn't see him.

Wait...what?

Omg, she could not deal with this many Gryffindors in one day.

However, she took in mind what Rex had said. Hehe. Imagine Kay's face if she heard him. Where was that Huffie Puff anyways? "Umm, thank you..." she muttered, still tugging on Josh and Patroclus' arms to get them away from the French girls so they didn't do anymore damage.

ooc: sorry I missed your post!

Daisy stood up and started walking backward. She wanted a different Point of view for her sketch. As she was walking backward she accidently bumped into a little girl who wasn't actually so little seeing as she herself was still little. "Sorry. I'm just trying for a better lighting tone."

"Well Rex you are brave," Daisy smiled and nodded. "This will prbably be the only time I ever get a chance to see it let alone sketch it perfectly detail for detail."

Jenn eyed the goblet in fascination. What an amazing peace that cup was. And it hold so much...mystery!

Fingering the peice of parchment in her hand, she opened it, read her name and school one last time, before taking a deep breath. She promised herself when she first joined she would try anything. And that included this. Taking one more deep breath for luck, she walked over to the cup, passing the age line, and then tossing the paper into the fire. Watching as her name disappeared, she turned around and walked out of the circle. Eighteen. She was well past the age requirement.

Now all she could do, was wait, and hope her name didn't came out of the fire.

" You welcome" Rex told Evelyn. " Thank you for answering me" Rex said to Evelyn. " good luck to you" Rex smiled. " I meant what I said and I would root for you very hard to win" Rex explained to Evelyn.

" Well, brave sounds good" Rex told Daisy. "How about "The Knight of Gryffindor is also tough besides brave?" Rex asked " The Lady of Gryffindor.
" Good idea about the cup" rex said to Daisy.

"Yes, he is quite the friendly gentleman." Monique said with a smirk. She watched as multiple glances occurred. "Looks like you stuck a chord Brielle." she commented to her friend. She watched as everyone turned progressively redder.

Silly kids.

Then one of red lion boys fell over. How adorable.

Now the random girl... which appeared very possessive... dragged off the two brunette boys.

"You missed one." she said looking at the blonde one.

Ari was inwardly trying to talk herself out of it, but it would be no use. She didn't even care if people stared at her. She turned the slip of parchment over and over in her fingers as she counted the steps up to the goblet, pausing just before where she knew the age line was drawn. She turned over the slip of paper once more.

Three people in the last two days told her they thought she should. And the little voice in her head that told her she couldn't was being drowned out by the one that told her she most definately could. This was not happening. This was not happening. This was not happening. But this was happening. This was so happening. If she didn't put her name in, she couldn't even say she was willing.

Ari held her white cane at her side as she stepped over the age line, and held up her hand until she felt the hot flames. And dropped in the slip of parchment.

Oh. MYGOD. From behind her dark glasses, Ari blinked rapidly. She didn't even...What? She backed away from the goblet and swallowed hard. Ari had never passed out before, and had no experience with it, but, right now, she felt like she would. For just a moment, she hoped she wasn't of age, but she knew very well that she qualified. The corners of her mouth twitched upwards.

Jenn couldn't believe she was still standing here. Maybe it was the shock of entering into the tournament. Either way, Jenn was standing like a statue, staring intently at the flames coming out of the goblet.

Out of the corner of her vision Jenn caught sight of Ari, entering as well into the tournament. Shaking her head a few times she blinked and walked slowly over to Ari. "Hiyah Ari!" she said, hugging the girl briefly. "So you entered too huh?" She looked over at the goblet, frowning slightly then turned back to Ari. "I don't want to seem like a chicken, but I'm a bit nervous now. How about you?"

...most likely she was the only one. Sigh...

It finally happened he supposed.

He was hoping to go over and speak with Sandra, but than her headmaster had shown up, and that guy just, freaked him out. On the other hand though, he was attention was unwillingly turned towards a group of kids who seemed to have the unfortunate luck to have both Monique and Brielle talking to them. Regardless if most of the group were young boys, it was never a good thing when those two were together.

The look on that young girl's face said it all too. "Terrorizing ze young students, Monique? Brielle?" he said with a chuckle as he stepped up behind them, looking over their shoulders to the group. Was it possible for their faces to be that red?

"No, no, of course not dear Noel." Monique said with an innocent smile. "We were merely complimenting them."

Yup, that explained their redness. "That one there speaks excellent French, this one is a quick learner, and that one over there, he is very special, he is the master of everything." she said pointing out each of the boys.

Jermaine couldn't take it anymore. The poor lion boy he had met at the opening feast was not doing so well with Monique and Brielle. Someone needed to help that boy since it looked like that girl dragging his friends away wasn't going to help him.

Walking up to him he put his arm around the boys shoulder. "I would stay away from zose two if I was you. Zey like to eat zeir prey." he said with a laugh.

"Are zere not enough older boys here to keep you entertained? You now have to amuse yourself with ze little lion cubs." he said to Monique as he tried to appear annoyed with her. Normally Jermaine would find this behavior of hers rather amusing himself but for some odd reason he had started to like this young boy. The boy seemed uncomfortable around beautiful ladies. Maybe Jermaine would have to educate him on the art of how to act in the presence of someone as beautiful as Monique... and Brielle, without embarrassing himself.

"Come wiz me, zere are many zings I must teach you." he said as he lead the boy away from the girls... before he could embarrass himself anymore.

SPOILER!!: Sal 'n Grayson

Uh-oh! Bigguns!

Haughtine visibly pouffed herself as if in attempt to make her small frame somehow bigger and smiled at the older students when they approached. She waved to the girl in an eager manner that caused the sleeve of her sweat to wiggle past her wrist and devour her hand. She looked at it, and then shoved it behind her back with a smile returning the salutations.

"Hello.", she remarked between chews. "I'm Haughtine." She searched the girls robes over to check her house. "What's your name?"

The boy that approached had a handsome face, as did most of their house, she noticed. He moved downward when he spoke to her and it made Haughtine feel less threatened and more eager to make conversation and understand more about the goblet. "Has anyone put their names in yet?"

Haughtine tipped, but waved her arms to catch her balance. Her face automatically puckered into one of displeasure with furrowed brows, but it went away as fast as the girl apologized for bumping her. Haughtine side-glanced and saw that the girl was a sketch artist. "Are you drawing the goblet?" She swaned her neck and tilted her head back to try and get a peek (welcomed or not) at the work in progress. "Do you know any charms to make the flames move?"

Sidney quickly puts her wand back in its holster. She serious considers the Drumstrung's boy suggestion- I've really got to find out what this guys name is.- the only problem is Hufflepuffs don't run away from trouble particularly when they're the one to cause it. Okay one look at the Drumstrung headmaster convinced me he's the type of person to use the stunner spell first and ask questions later. I imagine his stunner will hurt a lot worse than the ones I've received in DADA class. Before Sidney can answer the boy or get his name, the Gryffindor student breaks out in a tirade about the Drumstrung boy. What is going on here?

Marie had been watching what was going on with those French girls and the Gryffindor boys, one of whom was Carter. Well no wonder he didn't seem to have time to talk to her. He was too busy making a fool of himself in front of the older girls.

As Evelyn pulled Josh and Patroclus away from the girls she thought maybe she should do the same with Carter. As she walked over towards him though one of the French boys seemed to come to his rescue. Stopping in her tracks she just watched for a minute. Carter hadn't even noticed that she had been standing there. Knowing that he couldn't use the love potion as an excuse for the way he was acting now she turned to leave. She really couldn't handle watching him act like that anymore. It was bad enough that she had seen him kiss Destiny, she didn't need to see him flirting too to know he had already forgotten about her.
