Summary: Remy gets to know his hosts
Status: Complete

Requiem had been a little surprised to hear they were being divided. Not upset, per se, but surprised. At the welcoming feast, he'd been directed to a table under a black and yellow banner along with half of the Beauxbatons students who had made the journey to Hogwarts. Aisling was with him, but Sebastien had been directed under the red and gold banner.

Well, that was fine. Pale eyes had swept over the other students present and he tried to guess the ones he'd spoken to in the journals. The chatter was overwhelming though, and he was slow to pick up on things, given the translation lag.

Nothing like being immersed in it to pick it up, right?

The feast had been pleasant, and filling, and foreign, but not bad. There'd been a welcoming speech and a bit about the ceremony that would be held next week to determine the champion. Despite his boasting, he doubted very much he'd be chosen to represent his school ... though he was a little terrified he would be.

After they'd been directed to their commons, prefects had shown them to their rooms - their trunks were already there - before they'd been left to their own devices. Eager to mingle, Remy made his way down into the commons proper, his journal in hand in case conversations were going to start that way.

Remy glanced over to him curiously. "Truth or dare?" he echoed. He wasn't sure he was completely familiar with that idea. "This is a game then?" It didn't exactly sound like a spell or homework, nor did it sound like a wizarding specific game.

"Explain it to me?" he pressed as he moved toward the blank wall, running his hands over the stones. To think a room might just appear here ... it was intriguing.

If the game was what he thought it was, he imagined Aisling would enjoy it immensely.

Oh, he hadn't considered that Truth or Dare might not translate. He wondered if they had a game like it and just called it something else.

"It's a game," he confirmed, leaning against a bare spot of wall as he watched Remy. "It's pretty simple, really. You get a group together and take turns asking each other to pick between a truth or a dare. Then the person gets to either ask a question or think up something they want the other person to do."

He grinned and shrugged his shoulders, "Did that make sense?"

"Mhm," he agreed. It sounded similar to one they'd played. It wasn't generally his type of game ... though playing it in a new place might be interesting. "Do you play often or is it left now for the younger students?"

He turned away from the wall to step toward Hugo. They had mumbled something about curfew, and he thought they should likely head back soon.

"Perhaps we shall have to have a game and get to know everyone who is from the other schools. I am curious about the Durmstrang students."

"We don't play as much as we used to," he admitted and when Remy made his way back over, he pushed away from the wall and started to lead the other boy back down the hall since he assumed they were heading back to the commons.

"That would be fun, though," he agreed, and he was sure Lily would be all for a big game with some of the foreign students. "I'm curious about them too."

He nodded towards the first set of stairs before setting off on their way back.

"Then we are in agreement. We will have a game. Perhaps after the champions have been chosen," he mused - only because he doubted they'd have time to get one together before then.

It would be an interesting end to the feast and ceremony, to have a game up in the secret room and get to know each other better.

Falling into step with Hugo, Remy was content enough to follow him back to the common room. It had been a long trip and he wouldn't mind crashing early.
