Académie de Magie Beauxbâtons discussion

In the early years of the school, the three founders would personally interview each new witch and wizard. After the interview, they would decide which house the student would be sorted into. Each of the three founders spoke of their houses and decided together where a student would belong.

Bellefeuille, with his love of learning and tender heart towards flora and fauna, declared:

"Into my House I shall bring
Students that savour the scent of Spring
Things that grow, one and all
Watching the seasons turn and fall
In knowledge mine will also abound
And all will heed the forest’s sound
Nose in book, hands in earth
Mind and body combine for great worth."

Papillonlisse, an impulsive artist with an altruistic love of others, spoke her piece:

"For those whose heart is with their friends
Who believe that love will always mend
Artists true with hearts so pure
In my house they can be sure
With maturity beyond their years
Their fellows share their inner tears
Kindest souls are taken in
Dedicated, thoughtful, all herein."

And dark Ombrelune, whose mind delved deeper than the others into arts not discussed, responded:

"Into my house the others I shall keep
Those whose knowledge is different and deep
Purer blood is key, but more can bring
Sharp intellect and utter cunning
The ends justify the means they use
And will not tolerate those who lose
Cold in heart, colder in soul
Into my house the different may go."

After the death of Bellefeuille and Ombrelune, Papillonlisse ordered that the three founders’ wands be broken open and a new wand be created out of the three cores. This new wand was encased in solid gold and has become the "Beauxbatons Sorting Wand". Being made of the founder's wand cores, the sorting wand has great knowledge of the three wizards. It performs the task that they once did. Each student that receives an education at Beauxbatons has to go through the sorting ritual. This involves the young witch or wizard holding the sorting wand and declaring that they wish to be sorted. The wand then makes its decision and shoots out colored stars corresponding with one of the houses. The wand has been held by countless students over the last few centuries. It is slightly worn from its age, but is still just as important as the day that Papilonlisee died, which was the first day it was used.

((Magenta stars shoot out of the wand for Papillonlisse house.
Black stars shoot out of the wand for Ombrelune house.
Green stars shoot out of the wand for Bellefeuille House.

And you base the second part about them. How they act. What they like, etc.))

Claire Kuhn:


The wand was placed in the young girl's hand. It took a moment but soon brilliant magenta stars began shooting out of the tip.

Your love and belief for all around you, your admiration of the arts, and the great wisdom beyond your years that you have taken from your struggles has the decision clear. Welcome to the Papillonlisse House!

Gerard d'Orivellers

He gripped the wand carefully, and as soon as he did so, green stars shot out of the wand.

Your dedication for flora and fauna, your kind and brave heart, and your polite manner makes our desicion. Welcome to the Bellefueille house!

Liesl Aaslestad

Liesl took the wand gracefully, and after a moment or two, black stars shot out.

Your purer blood, your cunning determination, and your strong desire to get ahead-- you fit best in the Ombrelune house!

Giselle Sabrina Dupont

She laid a finger tentatively on the wand to start, but then slowly started to grip it with assurance. The wand to a bit of thinking time, but then a rush of green stars flew out.

Your kind and open heart and your loving nature place you in the house for the nature-loving. Welcome to Bellefueille house!

Dalia Deeprose

Dalia rushed up to the wand very quickly, knowing which house she wanted. Dalia's fingertip brushed against the side of the wand, and without fully gripping it, the wand began to spurt out black stars.

Your hatred towards those of lesser blood, cunning smile, and disposable side-kicks give you all the strengths you need for Ombrelune.

Annalisa Carinara

She hesitatingly touched the golden wand, wondering what it would feel like to be sorted. Slowly, she slid her whole hand around it, grasping it firmly. It took a few seconds longer, then ejected a stream of glowing magenta sparks.

Your love of art, your quite sense of mind, and your sincerity place you in the house for artistry. Welcome to Papillonlisse!

Astre Luire

Astre turns back briefly. and flashes a grin towards one of the students she'd met previously. Dark eyes wide in anticipation, her hand reaches out towards the gold wand, gripping it tightly. She only has to hold it for a moment before dark black stars begin to spurt in all directions from the end.

Ombrelune is the only house for one with such a cool-head, capable mind, and determination to beat all others.
