Beauxbatons Academy of Magic

[The Forgotten Weasley]

"Beauxbatons caters to a wide diversity of witches and wizards from France, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. For seven centuries the academy has existed and throughout that time many changes have been implemented, including the elimination of school houses during the French Revolution, which had only served to define and separate student's according to social class and status. Now students are separated according to gender; girls join Aphrodite and the boys join Angelus. Unlike many other wizarding schools, students only have one examination to complete which is taken after six years of study instead of five.

Beauxbatons Palace is a magnificent château, often described as glittering and surrounded by a wondrous gardens and enchanted waterfalls spewing down from the mountainside of the Pyranesse in Southern France. A fountain believed to hold healing and beautifying powers was constructed in the academy's park in honor of Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, who part-funded the castle and grounds. Rather than broomsticks, the academy seems to prefer their trained winged-horses as a means of personal transportation."

Cornelia Freja Eckstein
Pureblood ☨ Eleven Years Old ☨ Beauxbaton Aphrodite

Location : Beauxbaton ~ Halls


Cornelia walked along the halls still in great surprise. She had been expecting to attend Durmstrang but instead she got a letter to Beauxbaton that summer. It was shocking at first and she didn’t know what to think or do. She’d expected everything her father had spoken about when he went to school. Instead she was left with going to a school nether one of them knew a thing about. Her first person she told outside of her home was Heidi. If anyone would know anything about the school she would be attending it was the women that gave birth to her.

The castle was quite lovely much like Heidi had described. The grounds were just as beautiful as the old castle. Cornelia quite liked Beauxbaton so far. If only she could come up with some actual friends. She’d talked to a few girls in her dorm but nothing was overly stuck. At least she had a few study partners out of it. Granted Cornelia was pretty independent with her classes. She was sure her father would want to hear about how well she was doing. Though, she had written him at the beginning of term there wasn’t much to say except that things were well and the school was something to behold.

“Was soll ich heute machen?” (What am I going to do today?) Cornelia muttered to herself in German. Looking out one of the many windows, she tried to think of something to do. There was always something right?

Ismael had come to like Beauxbatons very much. The setting was much different from his Spanish home city, but he enjoyed being out in the country more than he would have expected-his sister Tati was different, because she loved the hustle and bustles of living in a sprawling city, but Ismael had always been quiet little Iz, and so the serene mountains and silent, pristine halls did not bother him the way they did Tati.

Even cousin Mercedes was always complaining about how she couldn't wait to graduate, although she only did so in the presence of Tati and Ismael and their other cousins, her sisters Irene and Gina, who were all sworn to secrecy. Mercedes was betrothed to a Leblanc, but Ismael doubted she'd ever go through with it. She was simply better at hiding her distaste than cousin Dora had ever been.

All in all, he still had a nosy sister and three cousins here at Beauxbatons to contend with, but luckily they were usually busy and didn't have time to bother him. Caught up in his own thoughts, he barely noticed the other student in the hallway until he jostled shoulders with her. "¡Lo siento!" he apologized in Spanish, impulsively, before flushing slightly. "Ah- Désolé."

He'd been tutored in French since he was very small, and so was quite proficient with the language, but he'd never spoken it casually in day to day life until arriving at Beauxbatons. His pronunciations occasionally earned him strange looks among the native French speakers, but luckily there were plenty of other Spanish and Portuguese students who could relate.

Cornelia had been struggling with her French since she didn’t really have a reason to learn it up until she got her letter. Having written Heidi in attempts to improve her writing it was coming along. Sadly she couldn’t say her speaking of it was perfect yet. It was still very much a work in progress, which certainly made things a bit more complicated. She’d been doing her best to keep up and hopefully follow along with her studies.

When a boy bumped shoulders into her, Cornelia heard what sounded like an apology in Spanish. That was followed by an apology in French. At least she had a good work ethic to at least know he was saying sorry for bumping into her. “C'est bon,” (That’s alright,) She replied in probably what was a poor excuse for a pronunciation. “Je m'appelle Cornelia ou Cora.” (My name’s Cornelia or Cora.) She greeted the boy. “Tu parles espagnol?” (You speak Spanish?) She asked, if she wasn’t even toned she might have actually sounded genuinely curious.

Cornelia didn't sound like a very French name. Maybe she was Dutch; she was fair-haired and blue-eyed. Her accent certainly implied that French wasn't her first language. She was rather straight-faced and neutral in her tone; she reminded him of Irene in that way. "Je m'appelle Ismael," he responded somewhat awkwardly. "Oui, je suis espagnol. D'où êtes-vous?" It was a common enough question; the school had students from multiple countries, not just France, after all. Among his dorm-mates in Angelus there were two French boys, Benjamin and Erik, a boy from Portugal, Gabriel, and a Dutch boy, Kasper. They all got along well enough, but there were some language and cultural barriers, and none of them had really been outside their home countries before.

So the boy’s name was Ismael. She had been right on the language she heard. Cornelia thought about how she should answer his question. Where she was from was easy enough but that didn’t explain how she ended up being schooled there. She supposed she could give some kind of a reason for that. The abbreviated version perhaps, Cornelia figured that would do. It was what she did for most who were interested. “Je viens d'Ecosse. Mon père est allemand et ma mère vient de Belgique.” (I’m from Scotland. My father is German and my mother is from Belgium.) Cornelia answered. By the end of it all she was a whole bunch of something since she was pretty sure her mother was part German part Dutch. Of course she could be wrong. “Je sais que cela semble compliqué, n'est-ce pas?” (I know it sounds complicated, right?)

Colten "Cole" Lambert
Half-Blood ★ First Year ★ Beauxbaton Angelus ★ Adopted

Location : Beauxbatons ~ Outside near Fountain

Colten was delighted to be at school. Beauxbatons was great! He’d been exploring everywhere and had already sent a letter home. He had to tell his father how school was so far. There was another boy in his year that enjoyed exploring too. It was nice to have a friend like Nico. They liked similar things and although they also liked different things they got along well enough. He reminded himself that he still had a friend at Hogwarts to write too. Colten was pretty sure Sherwood wouldn’t mind hearing about Beauxbatons and in return he could hear about Hogwarts.

For the time being however the redhead decided to venture outside. Nico was busy so he’d catch up with him in class later. For now, he had binoculars in hand and was wandering around the numerous fountains looking for birds. As he was looking threw them attempting to find the winged creatures, he spotted a blonde girl. She wasn’t in his classes so perhaps she was a year above him. Walking over, he waved to the girl who was looking threw her books.

“Bonjour, voyez-vous des oiseaux ici?” (Hello, see any birds around here?) Colten asked her in greeting. “Je m'appelle Colten, les amis m'appellent Cole. Quel est ton nom?” (My name is Colten, friends call me Cole. What's your name?) He introduced before asking her name. “Vous une deuxième année?” (You a second year?) He added in question. Colten certainly liked that he could speak French while at school the only thing that would be better was if Enid was with him. Unfortunately, she’d be going to Hogwarts like Sher. Oh well he wasn’t one to complain.

Cornelia since returning to school was content. Over the summer she spent time with friends that she generally didn’t get to see. Akira and Callista were good companions in her opinion. Now she was busy getting back into her studies. Sitting on the edge of the fountain with her school books sprawled out in front of her, Cornelia was deep in the little bit of homework she had. The German girl only glanced up from her work when a redheaded boy approached her.

“Bonjour, je ne peux pas dire que j'ai. Bien que quelques-uns auraient pu passer lorsque je ne faisais pas attention.” (Hello, can’t say I have. Although a few might have passed by when I wasn't paying attention.) She told the boy before he introduced himself. “Oui. Cornelia Eckstein, plaisir.” (Yes, I am. Cornelia Eckstein, pleasure.) She replied grateful that her French had improved. Cornelia probably would have had a hard time keeping up with the boy who was clearly natural at speaking French.

“Je suppose que vous avez une chose pour les oiseaux?” (I take it you have a thing for birds?) Cornelia asked figuring she might as well be polite. Besides she didn’t have a lot of work to do so socializing wouldn’t hurt.

Location : Beauxbatons ~ Dining Hall


Nico was for the most part caught up with his school work. His parents would be proud he was sure. Even with the few hours worth of history he had left to finish. If he knew where Colten was he probably would have been out hanging with him. However, the red headed boy was pretty good at running off and doing his own thing. Not that Nico minded having to do his own thing. For now, it was half reading a recipe book, half writing.

The first year was content writing. He’d already wrote several letters throughout his time so far to his parents. He only looked away from his stuff when his feline companion climbed onto the table. “Pedro fuera de la mesa.” (Pedro off the table.) Nico told the feline picking him up and putting on the bench next to him. The feline whined before cleaning himself. He shook his head before returning to the next random recipe he was working on. Now he’d just need to break into the school’s kitchen to test it.

Ismael looked up from his studying when he heard Spanish, which was common enough at Beauxbatons, although nowhere near as common as French. He was studying in the elaborate, lavish dining hall not because he was hungry, but because people were being obnoxious in the Angelus common area, as was typical for teenaged boys, no matter their nationality. Being a more quiet sort, Ismael appreciated the relative silence of the dining hall. The boy who had just spoken Spanish looked to be a first year, and was scolding his cat, who had been trying to get up on the table. He could only imagine the reaction of a professor if they happened to walk by. Cleanliness was a big deal at this school. Ismael grinned. "¿De dónde eres de España?" he asked politely.

Nico hadn’t expected his Spanish to get him noticed. Then again it wasn’t as common a language around the school as say French. More and more, the young boy was grateful his mother made him learn French. Then again, she probably knew the school he’d be attending from the day he showed signs of magic. Regardless of all that Nico smiled over at the other boy. “Soy de Granada.” (I’m from Granada.) He answered simply. “Buena observación.” (Nice observation.) He complimented before asking. “¿Y tú, de dónde eres?” (How about you, where are you from?)

At that point, he took a moment to glace back at his feline to make sure he wasn’t causing any trouble. Luckily Pedro appeared to still be in cleaning mode. Good for the two of them. If someone were to see the feline doing something he weren’t supposed to be doing, Nico knew they’d be in trouble. They didn’t need that today.

Colten "Cole" Lambert
Half-Blood ★ Fifth Year ★ Beauxbaton Angelus ★ Adopted

Location : Beauxbatons ~ Library

Colten had known Enid was having some troubles at school. She’d written him and confided in him about the issue. He wished he could help but being not only miles away but a whole country there wasn’t anything he could do. Aside from some positive words of encouragement that would hopefully lead her to attend all her classes again. They were both a year away from taking examinations. He’d hate to see her fail a class before then or ever.

Sitting in the library Colten looked over his notes for one of his classes. He had work to do despite his sister’s troubles. He knew that she’d sort things out, but his grades were just as important. Not to mention his music which he’d been dabbling with. He would never be as creative as his father when it came to music, but he still enjoyed a good song or two.

Cornelia Freja Eckstein
Pureblood ☨ Sixth Year ☨ Beauxbaton Aphrodite

Location : Beauxbatons ~ Library


Cornelia wandered into the library knowing she needed to get as much studying in as humanly possible. She had her MATRONS to study for and the time for exams would be upon them soon enough. She wanted to get good grades. Something her father would be proud of. Not that he wasn’t proud already of course. Though she had a number of classes that could use some work. Even those she managed flawless perfection or close too she figured could use some study time.

Books in hand Cornelia noticed the red haired boy Cole who was a year below her. She’d only spoken to him a couple of times. However, she did know him well enough to at least say a hello and see what he was up to. He didn’t normally set up shop in the library. Usually he was outside with another boy in his year Nicolás. In fact, it was normally Nico she’d see in the library not that she’d ever spoken to him really.

Strolling over to Colten, Cornelia placed her books down with gloved hands. “Qu'est-ce qui vous amène à la bibliothèque aujourd'hui?” (What brings you to the library today?) She asked him curiously. “Oh, juste du travail de classe. Toi même?” (Oh, just some class work. Yourself?) He asked her in return. “Etudier pour mes examens MATRON.” (Studying for my MATRON exams.) She replied. “Combien d'entre eux avez-vous?” (How many of those do you have?) He questioned. “Plusieurs en fait.” (Several actually.) She didn’t seem phased by that notion. Insane really given the more exams one had the more work one had to study for them. Though she’d always sort of been that way.
