LYDIA DEETZ AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
Chapter 2: The introduction
.
Everyone was silent when they saw Lydia, but when she looked at them and greeted them with her hand, next to a smile on her lips and in her eyes, the first to react were those of Hufflepuff giving her effusive and affectionate cries of welcome.
The members of the Nekoten school went to the castle guided by Professor Sprout in order to sit after the official presentation at the Hufflepuff table.
"Wow... now Lydia looks prettier," said Harry.
“What are you talking about, now she is freakier than ever, I wonder if she's also throwing hairballs for...”
“Don't call her that!” Neville shouted. He remembered how Lydia sacrificed her afternoons at Hogsmeade to keep him company after Professor McGonagall banned him from going to town last year.2
Ron kept silent about the impression; Neville was not the kind of guy who screamed.
Upon entering the castle all the students sat at their tables and waited for the entrance of the invited schools.
The first school to present itself was Beauxbatons, its students dressed in tight blue suits and presented a rare entrance consisting of sighs aimed at the students of the tables. It goes without saying that the French girls were disappointed at the cold welcome of the boys as they only expected the cat girls to show up.
The second school was Durmstrang, with a more aggressive entrance that was better appreciated by local students. A flag bearer of the continental school raised a flame that resembled the figure of a phoenix to honor Dumbledore.
At last it was the turn of the Nekoten school and all its students entered a formation of two rows, however, together with them, entered the school multitude of cats of all colors, these passed between the legs of the students, but both felines and students were in a perfect and natural synchronicity that gave to think that this was not the result of a choreography previously planned.
The felines seemed to be of different magical types, since apart from the normal cats, there were cats that walked on their two back legs, cats that seemed to levitate next to the students, or that flew with the help of large wings, some were dressed and walked or also moved through the air.
Then a melody began that lit the hearts of those present and cherry petals began to fill the entire dining room, suddenly the image of Nekoten School was shown in the place, and it seemed that his students were leaving the main road to go to the teachers' table.
The show was great with the music, the cats (some of them singing a tune or playing fine instruments and dancing very tenderly with their paws), and the school's image flanked by the Tokyo Tower at dusk and Mount Fuji on the other side at dawn.
Then the student's teacher passed through the middle and when she reached where the teachers' table made a huge sun and moon rise from the palm of her hands that rose up to the roof of the school, the stars gathered a little bit and then became Hogwarts' shield with the four animals representative of the houses.7
Dumbledore and everyone else present were impressed, the director gave a brief welcoming speech and the banquet began. While they were having dinner a pretty girl from the French school approached to Ron and asked for the soup.
“Yes, yes, but leave because you won't let us see the Japanese girls," Ron claimed, and with a gesture of his hand, he gave her the impression that she should walk aside. The girl grabbed the soup and put it on the redhead like a hat, bathing him completely.
There was a rum fake from Ron of wanting to hit the girl but the French teacher came and took her pupil while she scolded her quietly. Professor McGonagall was sparking and was about to head over to Ron's. Fortunately for the red-haired, Nekoten's teacher went to the teachers' table.
“Would you like something Professor Ayanami?” Dumbledore asked courteously.
Professor Ayanami didn't answer him; she just looked at him for a few awkward seconds, then grabbed the director's beard and began to pet it. All the teachers were stunned like the principal; the students of the school looked astonished.
“Excuse me Professor Ayanami...” was trying to say Dumbledore.
“The beard grew on you Albus, boy.”
“Do you forgive the memory of this old teacher, but had I already met you?
Then the teacher became a crimson-eyed white cat and leapt over Snape's head.
“Before I didn't even have a tail," said the two-tailed cat. Snape didn't dare move.
Dumbledore thought for a moment and then exclaimed loudly.
“Ayanami Sensei! I never thought I'd see you again.”
“Albus, you know this person," asked McGonagall.1
“Minerva, she was my old teacher when I was still a boy. Ayanami Rei, my Sensei, she taught me and my best friend Maui," said Dumbledore.
The teacher turned back into a two-tailed cat girl, although she was still on Snape's head.
“Excuse me but could you please step down," Snape demanded, then with Hagrid's help Professor Ayanami stepped on the floor.
“Filius, you've grown too...”
“Ayanami Sensei, I didn't know you would be the teacher who would come from Japan, in fact I didn't even know you were teaching there," Flitwick replied.
“Do you also know each other?” Dumbledore asked surprised.
At the tables everyone was whispering to each other about these revelations.
“Did you know that Ayanami Sensei was the former teacher of those two teachers?” Sei asked Lydia.
“No, I didn't know, you know how Ayanami Sensei is, she hardly ever speaks," Lydia replied. “I didn't know she was Maui Sensei's teacher either. Now I see that the power that my teacher taught me is due to Ayanami Sensei.... to her name...”
“What do you mean Lydia," Percy asked.
“I mean that the Ayanami surname comes from Aya which means: pattern, fabric or figure and Nami that would come to mean: wave, wave, tsunami... See, the magic power Maui Sensei taught me was "Magic Tsunami", he also called it "wave tissue".”
“I thought Ayanami meant "coming from heaven," Percy replied.
“You have to study Japanese writing more, Percy.”
“That power of yours is mighty and brutal, Lydia” said Kansuke to her.
“It's very similar to Fairy Law," Ritsu said.
“What is Fairy Law," asked Tsukiko and Nanami at the same time.
“It is an extremely powerful magic, which can wipe out an entire enemy army minus your allies," Natsuki replied, "although Lydia's "Magic Tsunami" is more powerful, as it can also destroy the enemy's infrastructure, without any damage to yours.”
“Can the headmaster of this school do the same as Lydia?” Koo asked.
“I don't know," said Lydia, because she didn't know that Ayanami expelled Dumbledore because he shared with Grindelwald his ideas of world domination and that's why she never taught him "Magic Tsunami”.”
Some Hufflepuffs approached Lydia and she explained that they transformed her into a Cat Girl, so that she could understand the Japanese perfectly.
After dinner, Dumbledore announced the opening of the Three Wizards Tournament, featuring Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman. He pointed out to the students the hermeneutics of the selection process and repeated to them about the age limit (which did not apply to Nekoten students) and sent them all to sleep.

The school was deserted and in the living room where the chalice of fire was located, Alba Roze, with a sinister smile watched the chalice.
Well let's make this more interesting - and he proceeded to close the hall door.
