Chapter 2 Unwelcome Communication
With the sound of puppets breaking ground, Ellen's unpleasant journey finally came to an end - along the way, for various reasons, no one was willing to communicate more, and if it weren't for a few junior wizards in the Quidditch team, Alan would probably have to communicate with Annie.

When the puppet was reduced to a miniature castle again, the little wizards on it stood together for the first time since the trip, and they all wore their school uniforms - internal contradictions were internal contradictions, and they did not want to show them in front of outsiders.
The moment the castle gates opened, all the Hogwarts wizards took a breath of fresh air from the top of the hill and looked down.
It was a sea of sky blue and raspberry red - dense with Ilvermorny wizards lined up to welcome guests from Hogwarts - if their attitude could be called welcome.
Ilvermorny was located on the top of Mount Greylock, and at the moment the miniature version of Hogwarts Castle was on a tall grassy field, and although the golem had destroyed a lot of vegetation, judging from the rest of the grass that had just barely covered the soles of the shoes, it should have been carefully tended.
Along the edge of the void, the modest mountains had a perfect meandering curve, and Alan even saw a Muggle lighthouse that was distinctly different from wizarding architecture - it was clear that the school was not as far away from Muggle habitat as Hogwarts was.
The vegetation of the whole mountain was very dense, and all kinds of plants blocked Allen's gaze, and in the distance, there was a snow-covered mountain forest - and then Allen noticed that the temperature in the land in front of him was far less like a cold winter, but more like autumn.
Curious about what caused this phenomenon, Alan couldn't help but look up, only to find that the entire dome was shrouded in a huge bowl-shaped magic—similar to the Hogwarts cafeteria—and at this moment, snowflakes were falling above their heads, and those small things fell on the magic cover, slowly sliding down the gentle arc, and did not gather at all.
Because the mountain is very high, those lead-colored clouds seem to be clinging to the top of the school, although gray, but against the background of the snowflakes, they do not look lifeless at all, but look vibrant.
And why does Eren take so long to observe his surroundings?
The reason is simple—the little wizards standing there do not express even the slightest hint of welcome, on the contrary—on their side, whether it is their lazy stance, their impatient looks, or the occasional whispers, they all seriously express their unwelcome to the guests—or, to put it simply, it is a word 'roll'.
Except for the headmaster, a middle-aged man with a grinning smile that was so sweet, everyone present expressed their dissatisfaction with the exchange.
In an atmosphere that was not friendly at all, the two wizarding schools showed their school crests and completed the exchange of gifts in the presence of the school emblems.
Ilvermorny's school crest was a four-leaf clover placed on a ribbon, and on each leaf was a magical creature - as Alan struggled to identify the other two magical creatures on it besides the Thunderbird and the cat-leopard, he unconsciously glanced at the exchange of gifts - and he froze.
The gifts were a sword made of elves and a wand - in any way not a good gift for the first meeting.
However, neither the headmaster nor Professor McGonagall's expressions changed significantly, and they didn't even feel the tension between the young wizards on either side of them.
"The guests who have come from afar must have had a hard time - come with me, then, for Ilvermorny has prepared a steaming meal and plenty of wine for you, and I hope you will be able to quench the fatigue of your travels in the warm dining room. ”
For some reason, the only thing Alan had when he heard his smiling voice was to punch him in the face - he was sure that this guy was definitely the most disgusting guy he had ever seen.
Unfortunately, neither the need for etiquette nor the dense crowd of Ilvermorny students around him allowed him to make such an attack on the headmaster, and he resisted the nausea in his heart, and he followed Professor McGonagall into the door of the strange school with the rest of the Hufflepuff.
The castle was nowhere near as extravagant as Hogwarts, their dome was just plain glass, and the hall was not decorated with any unique decorations, but the young wizards of the various houses did not comment on it after being impressed by the huge magical enchantment before.
Again, probably because of the pressure from the headmaster of the school, the unhappy-looking little wizards of Ilvermorny only showed a cold face and did not make any sarcastic attacks.
The whole team is going on in this strange environment.
However, the moment Eren stepped onto the floor in the center of the hall, the whole eerie scene of calm was completely shattered.
Erected around the hall, it was originally an ornament in the eyes of the young wizards of Hogwarts, and the four wood carvings made a sharp noise as Alan stepped on the central floor - which made Alan take out his wand at the first moment, and then pulled Anne beside him, and began to look around the environment.
There was a hint of evil in all aspects of this exchange -- he was not willing to put his own safety on the decisions of others -- what if there was a single event!
As soon as he pulled out his wand, the young wizards around him quickly pulled out their wands - most of them were adult wizards, and the first thing they thought of when they encountered danger was to ask for help from their wands.
This caused an even bigger ripple effect - with the Hogwarts wizard's wand being pulled out, the wizard Ilvermorny who was still full of disgust and indifference also took out his wand - this is their school, a second home!
The already antagonistic atmosphere instantly reached its climax at this moment - if anyone attacked first, then a fierce battle would follow - and there was no doubt about the fighting power of a group of carefully selected wizards.
"What are you doing!" the same phrase was repeated by the male and female voices - apparently, the headmaster who was leading the group had noticed the change in the rear.
It's a pity - their words did not divert the attention of both sides from the focus.
In the amazed eyes of the students on both sides, the four wood carvings seemed to come to life.
The head of the horned snake lit up with a crystal light, brilliant and dazzling, like a star, the wood-carved ptarmigan began to flap its wings, there seemed to be a sandstorm in the hall, the cat and leopard resounded with thunder, and finally the unknown creature pulled the bowstring to the void, and the sound of the bowstring cutting through the air was still clearly discernible in the roar of the cat and leopard.
What the heck?
Alan and the other little wizards were all moved inexplicably, but those little wizards of Ilvermorny showed envious eyes.
However, Eren ignored them, as the headmaster of Ilvermorny also looked at them.
His expression reminded Alan of the discovery of a creature—the wolf who had found the corpse of a deer in the snow.
