Chapter 162: Welcome and Arrival

On the 30th of October, it was an ordinary day, as usual, but a signal of restlessness had begun to spread among the students of Hogwarts, as the girls compared their ornaments with each other, and the faculty members looked at each student with the strictest of their dress.

"Longbottom, please, don't show your stuff in front of Durmstrong's people, and let them see that you haven't even mastered a simple transformation charm!" As class was about to end, Professor McGonagall yelled. The lesson went particularly poorly, and Neville inadvertently grafted his ear onto a cactus.

By the time we arrived for lunch, the auditorium was renovated overnight. Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each representing one of Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor with a golden lion on a red background, Ravenclaw with a bronze eagle on a blue background, Hufflepuff with a black badger on a yellow background, and Slytherin with a silver python on a green background. Behind the teacher's desk, hung the largest banner with the coat of arms of Hogwarts: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake linked together with a large letter H around it.

Loki observed the dynamics of the Gryffindor student group with great interest, Ron actually wore a fancy robe with a ** edge, Harry wore a dark green gown, compared to the two of them, the other students were much more normal.

"Weasley, you seem to have made a mistake, today is just a welcome ceremony between schools, and there is no dance for you to wear such a "decent" robe. In addition, this robe was indeed very popular in the last century, and it seems that your family has a lot of nostalgia. Malfoy's high-pitched voice resounded through the auditorium, and most of the students' eyes turned to Ron. Some of the girls who were closer to Ron glanced at the ** edge on the outside of Ron's collar in disgust, as if they were infected by bacteria, and hurried away from the source of infection.

Ron's face flushed slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he didn't say a word, still standing under the gaze of everyone.

Lillian glanced at Ron rather strangely, "Weasley is quite calm today, and it doesn't seem to fit his style. ”

There was a smile in Thor's dark blue pupils, "Obviously, he just wants everyone to get used to it, the first time he sees it, and the second time he sees it, there will be no sense of disobedience, long pain is better than short pain, rather than being forced to use it on real occasions, it is better to show off the lower limit in advance." ”

In the afternoon, I came out of the Slytherin common room and walked up the stairs in three steps and two steps to the foyer. The deans of the college are ordering their students to line up.

"Weasley, dress properly." Professor McGonagall walked over to Ron's side and straightened the lace on Ron's shirt with a serious face. "Miss Petill, take that ridiculous thing out of your hair." Parvati frowned unhappily and removed a large butterfly headdress from her braid.

They walked down the steps and stood in front of the castle in a line. It was a cold, airy evening, and night was falling, and a white, translucent moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.

Lillian played with a cluster of flames in her hand in boredom, the crimson flames exuded a warm aura, the cold around her was dispelled, only a faint glow of fire, and the temperature of Hexi had almost enveloped the entire Slytherin house.

"How do you think they're coming? Riding a broomstick? This kind of weather seems a little too cold to take the train? There doesn't seem to be a connected track either. Malfoy's gray-blue eyes glanced at the cold moon, and above the silent night sky, there was only a lone moon hanging in the sky.

"It's just the same old thing, there's nothing worth figuring out, and that's all there is to the wizarding world." Loki waved his hand uninterestedly and yawned slightly.

The students excitedly scanned the darkening field, but there was no movement. Everything was silent and peaceful, no different from the usual.

Augustus' silver pupils focused on the distant sky, and the mage tower, hidden above the clouds, had spotted outsiders in the distance.

At that moment, Dumbledore, who was standing in the back row with the other teachers, shouted-

"Ahh If I'm not mistaken, Beauxbatons' representatives have arrived! ”

A behemoth, much larger than a broomstick—or a hundred broomsticks—was speeding across the deep blue sky towards the castle, growing larger and larger.

As a black behemoth skimmed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, illuminated by the light of the castle window, they saw a huge powder-blue carriage flying towards them. It was the size of a house, and twelve winged horses flew through it, all of them silver-maned horses, each about the size of an elephant.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage also landed on the ground, vibrating on the huge wheels, and the golden horses shook their huge heads, their big fiery red eyes dripping. A shiny black heel came out of the carriage followed by a woman, and when she stepped into the light that spilled from the foyer, they found her with a handsome olive-colored face, dark, watery eyes, and a very pointed nose. Her hair was combed back and tied in a shiny bun at the base of her neck. She was wrapped from head to toe in a black forged garment, and many precious opals shone around her neck and on her thick fingers.

"Are the principals of Beauxbatons and Hagrid related, they are so big, fortunately, the senior sisters and sisters she brought are still relatively normal." Malfoy shamelessly glanced at the Beauxbatons students who had stepped out of the carriage with amazement on his face.

Loki glanced at Draco with disdain and said lazily, "Their leading senior sister, the mana fluctuations are at least three times more than yours, so, for you, it's actually not very normal. ”

Malfoy coughed dryly, and a hint of redness appeared on his face in the night.

After greeting Beauxbatons' group, the Hogwarts students continued to wait for another school to arrive.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of Madame Maxim's giant horse snorting and stomping its hooves. That's when —

A loud, strange sound wafted towards them from the darkness: a pent-up rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the riverbed......

Gradually, a large ship rose out of the water, shining in the moonlight. It looked eerie, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a freshly salvaged shipwreck, and the portholes shimmered with a dim, foggy glimmer that looked like ghostly eyes. At the end of the day, with a faint splashing of water, the big boat came out completely, tossed on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the shore of the lake. A moment later they heard a thud, an iron anchor thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap, and a plank was placed on the shore of the lake.
