"Hello... Good afternoon..." Risu said brightly to those who had shown up so far, walking past them on his way to the desk. He put the coffee down carefully. "We'll wait for a little while before we begin, I think. Give some of the other students time to finish their food and make it up here." He smiled at the assembled not-multitudes.

"How are you doing? Are you enjoying all the excitement around the, er Triwizard Tournament?" Risu had to admit he didn't know much about it. In his opinion, it was rather dangerous, and did not involve enough astronomy.
