"My pupils." Madame Maxime, waving one of her enormous hands carelessly behind her. Alani saw that a dozen boys and girls, all, by the look of them, in their late teens, had emerged from the carriage and were now standing behind Madame Maxime. They were shivering, which was unsurprising, given that their robes seemed to be made of fine silk, and none of them were wearing cloaks. A few of them had wrapped scarves and shawls around their heads. "As Karkaroff arrived yet?" Madame Maxime asked. "He should be here any moment." Dumbledore stated. "Would you like to wait here and greet him or would you prefer to step inside and warm up a trifle?" He quizzed. "Warm up, I think." Madame Maxime mumbled. "Come." Madame Maxime said imperiously to her Students, and the Hogwarts crowd parted to allow her and her Students to pass up the stone steps.
