Bonsoir à tous. My name is Anaïs Bolduc, and I am a 7th year student at Beauxbâtons.

I will be taking Ancient Runes, Charms, Muggle Studies, Potions and Transfiguration with you this year. These are also the subjects I study in France. I will be missing playing Quidditch very much also. I am hoping to attend team tryouts at the end of the year, although I have not decided in which country yet, because I am not sure where I want to move long-term - like many of our girls, I am not actually French, so I have some decisions to make there.

I am looking forward to finding out what sort of clubs and societies you have at Hogwarts, as well as other things you have to do here.

	Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-30 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	I am Canadian! My father is from Québec province, so French is our first language. I have never been to the UK before. Have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I have never been to Canada. It is nice? Yes, I have been to UK before for Quidditch, but it is not for long time. This will be longest, and longest that I will have use of English. Have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obviously I am biased, but I think it is wonderful. All the parts of the country are very different. It's nice. I have never been here, no. I'm interested to see how the British do things - that's one of the reasons I came, really. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am very excited about this trip, it's colder here though than it was at school. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-30 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	I don't find it too bad, actually. But you know, I'm Canadian. I don't mind the cold. A pity they couldn't allow us to wear more appropriate robes, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The weather could be a little worse, I think some of our classmates were being most dramatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-30 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	At least we didn't have to wait outside to greet Durmstrang, like the Hogwarts students did. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know I'm never dramatic. I thought it was very cold. Our robes were not weather appropriate. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, Anaïs welcome to Hogwarts. I saw you tell someone you are from Canada? What made you decide to go to France for school? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-30 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	My mother is French, and my father is a Canadian government representative at the French Ministry of Magic, so we live in Paris. I could have gone to Canada for school, but Beauxbatons is just easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I am glad to be here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-30 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	It's nothing like as cold as people in France told me it would be. It's a shame that it wasn't daytime when we arrived... I would have liked to have seen what the grounds look like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notsoslytherin 2012-10-31 01:12 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad - I've travelled to France before and didn't find it much different but the time of year could have been due to that. Still I hope it doesn't get too different for you. I hope you get to see them soon, they are amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You are not the only one who will miss playing Quidditch! But I think this opportunity is worth missing it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-31 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	I certainly hope so, though I admit, I will miss seeing how my team is getting on back at school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	healing_magic 2012-11-01 04:11 am UTC (link)
	I will miss that, too. My team's captain promised to update me by owl, but it is not the same as being there and being a part of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-11-01 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, same. I have a fifth year replacing me and she said she is going to ask me for advice. I don't think that will be easy if I cannot see them the way I did last year. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello Anais my name is Barney and I am a 6th year Hufflepuff here at Hogwarts. How do you say your name? I miss playing Quidditch too I think a lot of us do. There are lots of clubs at Hogwarts there is flying club, that is a new one to replace Quidditch, and there is also Charms club and Drama club and Gobstones club and Fashion club and Choir and Art club and Chess club and Book club. I am in Flying and Charms club and I am helping with Drama club as well. I also like running. I hope you enjoy it here at Hogwarts.

	It is like Ann-A (like the letter)-iss, I suppose. I am glad to hear that we will be able to fly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_barney 2012-11-01 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh okay I will try to say it right if I say it then. I am glad too! I like flying. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Bonsoir, Anais. I am Yakov Poliakoff from Durmstrang. Are you liking Hogwarts? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-31 11:50 am UTC (link)
	Hello, Yakov! Well, I think it is a shame that we did not get to see much of it on the first night, but it seems nice. I'm looking forward to looking round the castle. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_yakov 2012-10-31 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	I am liking it. It will be nice to see the castle and to talk to more of the students. I only got to meet a few. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-31 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	There is plenty of time for that, which is good. There isn't much time between classes whilst we're still trying to find our way, I don't think, but I'm looking forward to using free periods and weekends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_yakov 2012-11-01 03:08 am UTC (link)
	It looks as we have many free periods here for private study. At first we can use them for looking at the castle, although I think I will also need to work hard to do my lessons in English. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi there, Anais. My name's Demelza Robins and I won't have classes with you because I'm only a 5th year, but I hope to get to know all of you anyway. Maybe I'll see you in flying club. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-10-31 01:16 pm UTC (link)
	You play Quidditch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_mel 2012-11-01 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Only for fun. I tried out for chaser but I didn't make the team. I was going to try out for keeper this year, but then Quidditch was cancelled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_dumspirospero_ 2012-11-01 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. I am a Chaser too, so I can see why that would be disappointing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	moltobella 2012-11-03 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Hello! I'm Katie Bell and I'm also a Chaser -- well, I am when Quidditch isn't cancelled, at any rate. It's cool that you want to go pro! (Reply to this)
