Chapter 9: Beauxbatons and Durmstrong
As October 30 approached, so did the chatter of the Triwizard Tournament in the castle.
With everyone discussing who is most likely to win the Goblet of Fire, Zhang Hao feels ridiculous - these kids don't know anything about their opponents and predict who will be the champion in this situation...... It's really outrageous!
"Hey, who do you think will win the Goblet of Fire?"
"I guess it must be Zhang Hao in the fourth grade, his magic is so strong, who will be his opponent?"
"He's not stupid, okay? He's seventeen years old this year! He can't even race!"
"Not necessarily, I guess there's an inside story this year!"
"Hey, what's the inside story? Let's talk about it, let's study it together?"
"The inside story is ...... It is said to be related to the Daybreak Organization, but the specifics are unclear. ”
"Cut! What mysteries are pushing on the heads of the Daybreaker?"
Zhang Hao, who listened to these gossip, was speechless for a while, isn't it good to study hard and make progress every day? Why should you care about these things that have nothing to do with you?
On October 30th, they had breakfast and found that the auditorium had been renovated overnight.
Huge silk banners were scraped on the walls, each representing one of Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Slytherin with a silver python on a green background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, and Hufflepuff with a black badger on a yellow background.
Behind the staff's desks hung the largest banner with the Hogwarts crest: snakes, eagles, lions, badgers, and badgers joined together with a large letter H around them.
"It's a grand day!" Draco pouted, "I've never seen them decorate the castle so seriously." ”
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "It's always a little grand to greet guests, what kind of jealousy do you eat?"
Draco frowned and said, "Who's jealous? I'm just expressing my displeasure!"
"Then why are you dissatisfied?" Zhang Hao sneered: "It's not because you're jealous." ”
Draco was speechless, only snorted.
Zhang Hao was puzzled, why is this kid getting more and more jealous? He used to be just a little lemon, but now he can almost be called lemon essence, right?
Throughout the day, almost no one at Hogwarts could pay attention.
Everyone was thinking that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming tonight, and they all wanted to see and see.
This is the first time most people have come into contact with students from other magic academies, and it is inevitable that they will be a little excited.
Even Zhang Hao had an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.
After the second class in the afternoon, everyone did as instructed to put on their cloaks on the boat, and then came to the foyer.
The deans of the college are ordering their students to line up, and their colleagues are telling them about trivial things.
Zhang Hao heard Professor McGonagall's nagging from Gryffindor, and she tried her best to tell everyone not to disgrace Gryffindor.
"Weasley, put your hat on!"
"Miss Petill, take that ridiculous thing off your head!"
"Mr. Potter, what's on your face? Is it dregs? Wipe it off!"
"Everybody come with me, the first graders are in front...... Don't crowd ......"
Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were doing the same, except for Snape standing with his arms crossed—the Slytherin students had already done everything.
From this point of view, Snape's teaching standards are still very good, at least Slytherin's discipline is better than the other three houses.
When everyone was ready, Okukan walked down the steps and stood in front of the castle in a line.
The air was cold, but everyone was very welcoming.
Night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.
Many people were talking, and they were speculating wildly about the way Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would appear.
"I guess they'll come on broomsticks, it's the fastest way to go. ”
"No, have you forgotten the illusion? That's the quickest way to do it!"
"Maybe it's the portkey, it's more convenient, isn't it?"
"Oh, have you forgotten? Phantoms are not allowed here in the castle, at least not in front of the castle gates. ”
At this time, Dumbledore suddenly shouted, "Ah, if I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' representative has arrived!"
"Where? Where is Beauxbatons?"
Many people turned their necks and looked around, but there were no strangers around.
A sixth-grader suddenly exclaimed, "Look at the sky!"
He pointed to the sky above the Forbidden Forest, his expression extremely excited.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and were stunned!
A behemoth, something the size of a house, was speeding across the deep blue sky towards Contracting Ferrai.
It's getting bigger and bigger, and soon everyone knows what it is!
It was a huge powder blue carriage, it really was the size of a house!
Twelve winged horses flew through the air, all silver-maned horses, each about the size of an elephant.
The carriage flew lower and lower, and was descending at an extremely fast speed.
It seemed to be a dismount, and Beauxbatons' carriage had no scruples at all, and it rushed straight to the crowd that greeted it.
The students standing in front hurriedly retreated, and there were many stampedes under the crowd.
It's unfortunate that a lot of people on the Slytherin side have been trampled on!
Finally, the carriage stopped.
Zhang Hao saw a medallion printed on the door of the car - two golden cross-crossed wands, each with three stars emerging from it.
The door opened, and a boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent over, groping for something on the floor of the carriage, and then opened a golden spiral staircase......
Then, a big foot stepped on the spiral staircase, and a tall giantess appeared.
She's bigger, more exaggerated than Hagrid.
Zhang Hao knew that this was the principal of Beauxbatons, Ms. Maxim.
One after another, people came down from the carriage, men and women, all of whom were Beauxbatons students.
Dumbledore was the first to applaud, followed by all the Hogwarts students and students.
Then, there was an unnutritious greeting between the principals of the two sides.
The students, on the other hand, looked at the Beauxbatons students curiously while waiting for Durmstrang's people in the bitter cold.
After a while, there was a loud noise on the lake.
The calm water began to swirl and soon a huge whirlpool formed.
A long, black pole slowly rises from the center of the whirlpool - this is a mast!
Slowly, the part under the mast also surfaced.
It was a magnificent, huge, glittering strange ship.
It looked really weird, like a skeleton...... It's like the remains of a shipwreck that has just been salvaged.
In the eyes of Muggles, it was a ghost ship through and through.
Syllable!
The ghost ship slowly approached the shore, and when it could no longer get any closer, a long plank of wood suddenly protruded from it and slapped against the shore.
Durmstrang students began to land along the board.
Dumbledore greeted their headmaster as usual, and that was the end of the greeting.
Next, it's time for dinner!
