On the morning of October 30, when the students went to the hall for breakfast, they found that the hall had been renovated overnight.

On the walls are huge silk panels, each representing one of Hogwarts' houses:

The one with a golden lion on a red background is Gryffindor,

The blue background with a bronze eagle is Ravenclaw,

A black badger with a yellow background is a Hufflepuff,

The one with a silver python on a green background is a Slytherin,

Behind the professorship, there hung the largest long banner, on which was the coat of arms of Hogwarts: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a large letter h.

"We asked Professor McGonagall about what the school intends to do to prevent people under the age of seventeen from participating." Fred whispered,

"She scolded us and told us to settle down," said George, "and we've got an age-booster ready to deal with the means of a magic check, as long as they don't really check our age......

Although Lawrence was not optimistic about their plans, he also agreed that it was better to try than not to try, after all, they were only a few months away from turning seventeen.

On this day, there was a sense of anticipation and joy in the air, and no one was paying attention to the lecture, everyone thought that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight.

After the bell rang, the students hurried back to their respective colleges, put down their school bags and textbooks as instructed, put on their grooming, put on their cloaks, and came to the front of the hall, where the deans of the houses directed the students to line up and take them all out of the castle gates.

They walked down the steps in front of them, and stood in front of the castle, it was a cold evening, there were no clouds in the sky, and night fell, and a pale translucent moon hung over the forest,

Lawrence and the twins were standing in the sixth row, and the first-year students were looking around in the front row, looking excited, in fact, not only the first-year students, but also Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the fourth row, and many people were talking about how those two schools would come to Hogwarts.

"Aha, if I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' rep has arrived!" Dumbledore's voice rang out from behind,

A dark shadow appeared from the dark blue night sky, and it quickly turned into a behemoth, and when it passed over the Forbidden Forest, and through the light of the castle window, everyone could see clearly, it was a huge chariot of powder blue, it was as big as a small house, pulled by twelve winged flying horses, and it flew through the air.

The carriage landed with an earth-shattering loud noise, and the students in the first three rows hurriedly retreated, they were all afraid of being trampled by those pegasus the size of small elephants, and the golden pegasus twisted its head and looked around with fiery eyes,

A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, he bent down and groped for something on the floor of the carriage, and then opened a golden spiral staircase, he jumped back respectfully, Madame Maxim stepped out of the carriage, and everyone was startled by her size,

Dunbulidos began to applaud, and the students clapped their hands, many of them tiptoeing to see Madame Maxim more clearly, Madame Maxim smiled gracefully and held out a hand to Dunbulido,

"Dear Lady Maxime," said Dunburydo, after kissing her hand, "welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dunbulidos," said Madame Maxim, "I hope all is well."

"Very good, thank you." Dumbledore said,

"My students." Madame Maxim said, waving her huge hand carelessly behind her,

By this time about twelve or three schoolboys and girls had come out of the carriage and were standing behind Madame Maxim, all of whom were about seventeen years of age, and they were all trembling slightly, for their robes seemed to be made of fine silk, and none of them were wearing cloaks, and several of the students had their heads wrapped in scarves or turbans, one of them was a man in a turban, looking at the crowd and searching for something, and the others were all looking up at Hogwarts with a wary look on their faces.

"Is Karkaroff here?" Madame Maxim asked,

"He'll come at any time." Dumbledore said, "Would you rather meet him here, or would you rather go in and warm up?"

"Let's warm up." Madame Maxim said, "But the horses—"

"Our teacher who protects magical creatures will be happy to take care of them," Dumbledore said, "and he'll come back after dealing with a little mess, it's his—well- something else he's going to take care of."

"My steed needs to—well—a lot of strength to take care of it," said Lady Maxime, who seemed to doubt that Hogwarts' teachers who protected magical creatures would be up to the task, "they have a very strong temperament......

"I assure you, Hagrid is more than capable of doing the job." Dumbledore said with a smile,

"Very well," said Madame Maxime, bowing slightly, "can you tell this Hagrid that these horses only drink pure malt whiskey?"

"I'll tell him." Dumbledore said, bowing as well.

"Come on." Madame Maxim said majestically to her students,

"Ma'am, I want to stay here." It was a girl's voice, one of the people wrapped in a turban,

"Whatever you want." Madame Maxime smiled as she led the other students towards the castle, and the Hogwarts crowd made way for her and her students to walk up the stone steps,

"Can I change my seat?" Hibiscus. Delacour said to Fred and George, who were standing at the outermost end of the line, that she had taken off her headscarf, revealing her amazing beauty, shiny blonde hair, and dark blue eyes, which made everyone who was paying attention to the situation gasp, and Hermione in the front row let out a loud "tsk" sound, which brought many stunned people back to their senses,

"Of course, of course." Fred smirked, he and George teamed up to swap seats with Lawrence next to him, pushing him to the outside of the line, Fleur naturally stood next to Lawrence, that is, the outermost side of the line, Fred let out a slight cough and pushed Lawrence with his elbow,

"Uh, welcome to Hogwarts." Lawrence said, and Fred coughed,

"Hello, long time no see," Fleur said with a smile,

"Uh, long time no see." Lawrence said, and Fred coughed again,

"Did you give away the two-way mirror?" Fleur asked,

"Uh, no," Lawrence replied, and Fred coughed again, this time slightly louder, "All right on the road?"

"The carriage is comfortable," said Fleur, "is it so cold in England?"

"It's like this now, and it'll be better after winter." Lawrence replied, this time it wasn't just Fred, George also started coughing,

"I should come out with a cloak," Fleur said, "it's in the carriage."

"It's going to be warmer in the castle—" Lawrence said, Fred's cough was so loud that he was about to cough up blood, and Lawrence finally reacted.

"Maybe that's better?" Lawrence waved his wand, and the golden points of light converged,

"It's beautiful," Fleur said, "what a spell."

"My birthday was badly mined by a couple of guys," Lawrence replied, and Fred finally stopped coughing, "and then I invented this warmth spell -- Durmstrang seems to be here?"

A loud, strange voice rang out at them from the darkness, a suppressed rumble and inhalation,

"In the lake!" Plum. Jordan yelled, "Look at the lake—"

On the lawn slope where they stood, they could clearly see the originally calm surface of the black lake, the bottom of the lake was in turmoil, and the water surface turned up huge waves, hitting the shore of the lake, and in the middle of the black lake, a huge whirlpool appeared, as if the plug at the bottom of the lake had been pulled out, and a long black pole rose from the whirlpool.

A great ship of extraordinary grandeur rose out of the water, glittering in the moonlight, and the portholes shimmered with a dim, indistinct shimmer like the eyes of a ghost, and at last the great ship came out completely with the sound of the water, and it sailed towards the shore of the lake in the undulating water, and after a while, with a plop, an iron anchor was thrown into the water, and a plank "snapped" on the shore of the lake,

Durmstrang's pupils wore a black fur cloak with a tangled fur that made them look very big, but the man who led them to the castle was dressed in a different kind of fur, silvery-white, soft and smooth, much like his hair.

"Dumbledore!" As the man walked up the slope, he shouted enthusiastically, "My dear fellow, what are you doing?"

"Great, thank you, Professor Karkaroff." Dumbledore replied,

Karkaroff's voice was mellow and sweet, he was as tall and thin as Dumbledore, but his white hair was short, his goatee didn't completely cover his thin chin, he walked up to Dumbledore and shook hands with Dunburidore,

"Hogwarts, my dear fellow," he said, looking up at the castle, smiling, showing his yellow teeth, but despite the smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, only cold and sharp, "It's good to be here, it's good - Wickdor, come here, warm up, don't you mind, Dumbledore?" Victor has a bit of a cold."

Karkaroff motioned for a student to come forward, and as the boy walked by, many people were whispering, twins and lee. Jordan made an interested voice, and everyone recognized him, who was the most famous man of the summer, the Seeker of the Bulgarian Quidditch team

"That's Wickdore. Krum!"

Karkarov seemed very proud of the commotion of the crowd, and he led Victor to the castle first, followed silently by the Bulgarian students, who seemed to be accustomed to it.

"Let's go, guys." Deng Bulido cheerfully greeted his students, and all the students began to move towards the castle,

"I'm going to have a banquet—"

By the way, this question has been asked before, and I don't seem to have answered it, but in fact, I didn't find out until the third volume that the transliteration error between Gryffindor and Gryffindor was written, because it was too broad, there were too many things to change, and I thought it was just a difference in transliteration, so I didn't change it.
