"Yeah my dad's a wizard, but I only got to stay with him on Holidays, I haven't been around magic all that much. It's all still pretty new to me. I wasn't sure I was even going to be accepted into Hogwarts at all. I'm really excited to see the castle." Blake had dreams of the castle since he dad first told him stories from when he was a kid.
When the boy introduced himself and shook his hand with a bit more force than was necessary, Dorian took it back and moved his fingers to loosen them up.
"Good handshake you got there" he said. He wasn't even mad. No point in getting mad.
"Nice to meet you Blake" he was going to treat the kid with respect no matter how defensive he became.
"I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly though" most kids did. Well, except for himself. He still remembered how he failed on every spell that he had learned in his first year.
Oh Merlin's Beard..... He didn't know yet.... Was he going to be the one who had to crush this kid's dreams of going to Hogwarts?
"Ehm..." he said, looking uncomfortably as he thought about how to say this.
"We're....not going to Hogwarts this term" he said slowly, looking at the kid's face.
"There was this Mist you see, i don't know the details but it became dangerous and we were forced to evacuate the school last year" he left out the details of two students having dissapeared in the Mist and were till this day still not found. They were probably dead by now....
"The Headmaster announced that we will be going to Beauxbaton until the Ministry has dealt with the Mist" ....and found the bodies....
