Hogwarts exchange students get into the groove very quickly in Durmstrang, and they are happier that Durmstrang's stairs are much friendlier than Hogwarts, which has a total of 142 staircases.

For Hogwarts exchange students, the course itself is challenging. It's not that the professors' homework is so difficult to understand, it's that Durmstrang's little wizards are fighting hard to compete with the Hogwarts exchange students in class performance.

The professors at Durmstrang were happy to hear about it, and they felt that it was wise for the Headmaster and Hogwarts to jointly organize an exchange program, and that the atmosphere on campus was completely new. It's a pity that Hogwarts exchange students can choose their own courses at any time, and the experience of teaching with them and without them is really different, if there are no Hogwarts exchange students in a class, even the professor who teaches is a little listless.

The most intense competition is the black magic class and the duel class. Both of these courses are not offered at Hogwarts and are the most popular among Hogwarts exchange students.

The dark magic is taught in an underground classroom, not only in the cold, but also in contrast to the atmospheric and quaint design and decoration of the main castle building above, whether it is the candle flame emitting a green glow on the walls or the various animal specimens placed along the walls, there is an unkind and eerie atmosphere here.

Professor Pavlichenko of the Black Arts was a small, middle-aged witch with almost green skin, sharp teeth when she spoke, and ten of her nails were jet-black and pimpled, which was definitely not the color and effect that a glossy nail polish could achieve. But her blue eyes were very beautiful, though they seemed hollow and indifferent, like the deep sea, merciless but charming.

"Dark magic is not evil magic, but it is different from ordinary spells, and like Patronus charms, some dark magic depends on the will of the user. However, without a certain level of knowledge of the soul and death, it is impossible to understand the intoxicating mysteries of dark magic, and the consequences are very dangerous if you do it rashly. Be careful to learn about the dark arts, lest you become a victim of the dark arts themselves, but since you want to rely on the power of darkness, then I tell you, do not be afraid, the pursuit of the dark power comes from an instinct for survival and the desire to live in your heart......" Her voice was rough and hoarse, almost a little higher than a whisper, and although it was an English speech with a strong accent of tongue playing, the exchange students understood every word she said.

Like Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape at Hogwarts, she also has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order without much effort.

But none of this stopped her and her Dark Arts class from becoming the favorite class of Hogwarts exchange students. They were not so superficial, and from the seemingly terrifying appearance of Professor Pavlichenko, they saw her meticulousness and thoughtfulness. For example, the above remark was originally intended by the professor for wizards who were new to the Dark Arts in the first year, and the reason why he repeated it again in the senior year was to take care of these exchange students who had come from Hogwarts and had never taken a Dark Arts class.

Before going to the dueling class, the Hogwarts exchange students were fully prepared, they all knew about Allen's great power, and they were prepared for a rainy day, they felt that they were likely to encounter challenges in the dueling class, and they must not disgrace Alan and Hogwarts. Even Malfoy had quietly brought a few magic armor in hidden places on his body.

Not only them, but Professor Carson Monte of the dueling class was also full of resentment and apprehension. When he regained control of his body from the cellar and saw the TV being shown to him, he reflexively touched his wand to give Alan a curse on the TV, but it was empty. When he was angry and about to ask the family to help him retake the residence, before he could leave the room, he received a shouting letter from the family.

The local Ministry of Magic received the TV and Allen clips sent to them by the British Ministry of Magic, the British Ministry of Magic strongly protested the unfair treatment of Hogwarts exchange students, and threatened to make these public if they were not properly handled, and to find them in trouble. The Monte family, where Monte belongs, not only has the various properties under their family's name been inspected in various forms, but various special permissions have also been gradually withdrawn. This is a punishment for the abuse of power by the Deputy Principal of Monte, and it is also a disguised confession to the British Ministry of Magic.

Not only did the plan to retaliate against Harris have to be postponed, but the Monte family, whose family interests had also suffered huge losses, turned their anger at Vice Principal Monte, asking him to restrain himself in the school and stop making assertions to disgrace the family.

The roaring letter poured down over Vice Principal Monte's head like a basin of ice water, and it also extinguished his desire to find Alan to return to his residence. Coupled with the fact that Allen's original threats seemed to be ringing in the ears of Vice Principal Monte, the family of three simply lived in the cellar.

Vice Principal Monte was very apprehensive when he entered the dueling classroom, if that hateful Alan Harris continued to challenge in the classroom, I am afraid that Durmstrang's dueling class would never be used again. But to his surprise, the class went very smoothly, and Alan Harris acted like a good student listening carefully in class, showing no signs of causing trouble.

Malfoy wouldn't have paid attention to what Monte was like, in fact, he was looking forward to today's dinner more than the lesson, and Alan told him that the Harris-born wizards who worked at Durmstrang would hold a grand welcome dinner for them, and among these exchange students, except for Luna, who was very close to Ellen, Alan only brought him with him, which made Draco's heart flutter.

That night, they and the Umbrella Team were invited to Karkaroff's rector's quarters, where a few empty tables were temporarily placed. Alan and Luna were invited to sit down at the guest of honor, accompanied by the wizards of Karkaroff and the Harris family, who taught at Durmstrang. The team members were scattered and sat with the guards who had been sent, and Draco was given to Longeye, who was said to be second only to the wolf mother at taking care of children.

Karkaroff stood still, and the restaurant became quiet. "Good evening, colleagues from the Harris family. Karkaroff said, looking around at the crowd with a spring breeze on his face, his smile never receded from his face since learning what had happened to Carson Monte, "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as if you were in your own home." Karkaroff opened his arms and made a gesture of welcome.

The plate in front of them was immediately filled with food, black caviar, pickled cucumbers, pies, bollingers...... These strange treats attract the full attention of the Hogwarts exchange students, and they are presented with a variety of sumptuous dishes that are different from the exotic and exotic atmosphere of England.

"Beef stew, in the 18th century, the chef of Duke Stragonov combined French beef stew with Russian sour cream sauce to create this classic combination of rich and tender flavors. Long Eye himself served some side red stewed beef and introduced it to Draco, and then remembered a large bowl of reddish soup that seemed to point to something and recommended it to Draco, "This borscht is a little spicy, and a little sweet and sour, I see that you like to eat sour food on the boat?" I think you will like it, I should be glad that there are no Swedes here today, if we need to take care of them, let the Swedish "food" also be seated, it is estimated that we will not be able to eat it, you must know that their number in Durmstrang is not small. ”

"I'll try. Draco said, preparing to bring himself a bowl of soup to taste.

"I carry a glass of wine and a toast to welcome the new arrival. Professor Pavlichenko of the Dark Arts asked, holding up a cup full of vodka. Karkaroff had previously fired many professors to make way for the elite wizards of the Harris family, and Professor Pavlichenko was one of the first Durmstrang College employees to defect to Harris.

"I beg your pardon, can you give me a cup of Earl Grey tea?" Draco asked, putting down his spoon.

?“ Ah, these British people drink vodka mixed with black tea. Pavlichenko shook his head, looking sideways like Draco, gesturing in her heavily accented English and hands, "When we get to late autumn, all other drinks will be frozen." Then she raised her glass and looked at her colleagues with a proud smile, "Except for vodka." ”

Looking at the crowd who were raising their glasses one after another, Draco looked at the glass of wine on his table, hesitated, and asked for help from the long eyes beside him: "But I'm not an adult yet, according to the law, I can't drink." ”

?“ Durmstrang's minors can't drink either, but it's just vodka, and in fact you'll know the atmosphere after a few more days, and that's where I graduated. Long eyes with a hint of nostalgia saw the hesitation on Malfoy's face, and leaned close to his ear to advise, "Didn't you say you wouldn't miss a single lesson in the dark arts, you didn't drink while Professor Pavlichenko was carrying wine, just as you insulted others with swear words when you were in England." ”

Draco didn't come back to his senses, "Huh?"

Longeye continued to whisper to him, "Do you want to teach you the subject of Dark Arts after insulting with expletives? ”

Draco glanced sideways at Professor Pavlichenko, who was paying attention to their whispers with his glass in his cup, her almost green skin making it so terrifying for the first time in Slytherin House. He quickly shook his head, and his voice sounded a little trembling: "No, I don't want to." ”

Long Yan forced a smile at the little snake's cowardice, and nodded to Draco, "Then drink it and dry it in one go." ”

Draco sluggishly followed the example of the others, raised his glass, and then drained the vodka in the glass with everyone, and in an instant he felt the liquid flowing down his stomach as if it was burning, and his face, which had always looked a little pale, suddenly even his neck flushed, and within a minute or two, he was lying on the table and couldn't get up.

Longeye let his cloak fly over a distant hanger and cover Draco's sleepy body. "I'm really good at taking care of children. With that, he drank the remaining vodka from the glass in one gulp, took the bottle handed by Professor Pavlichenko, and drank directly into the bottle with the sound of "Dun Dun Dun".

Luna, who was sitting at the guest of honor, didn't have to worry about drinking, and the professors obviously didn't embarrass the little girl brought by the heir of the family, although the status of the characters at their table was the highest in the room, but the atmosphere was more relaxed and harmonious, everyone was not bound by etiquette, and after introducing themselves to Alan, they were all enjoying the food in front of them.

Luna stared at a plate of white, creamy paste, smeared it on a small piece of black bread with a knife, and opened her mouth to put it into her mouth in one gulp, following the movements of several old wizards. Then Luna suddenly stood up from her chair under Allen's shocked gaze, her back straight, and with her standing motion, it seemed that the thing suddenly slid into her esophagus, making her big eyes, which were already a little bulging, instantly open wider and rounder, and she hurriedly poured a glass of vodka in front of her as ice water into her throat, and the next second she was choked and coughed.

"Miss Lovegood is really a good eater, and my favorite is this traditional delicacy, which is eaten with marinated lard on brown bread and vodka. In the cold winter months, this way of eating will provide you with enough calories, you know, it is difficult for the professors here to accept if they were not born in Eastern Europe. Karkaroff complimented from the sidelines.
