13. Arrive in the cold winter
After a day of traveling, the Hogwarts wizards inside the Hogwarts Express began to get more and more excited, and it seemed that the excitement and anticipation of going to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was far stronger than that of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The students are excitedly discussing how to teach black magic in Durmstrang, after all, all young wizards know that black magic is very dangerous magic, and in addition to the powerful magic effects and power, it is also easier to make simple wizards lose their hearts, and black magic will never be taught at Hogwarts, of course, how students learn black magic after graduation has nothing to do with Hogwarts.
But the necessary course, Defence Against the Dark Arts, must be learned, so Durmstrang Dark Arts is a lesson that Hogwarts students have never experienced, even Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has never taught Dark Arts classes.
"I feel that there is research on Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Mr. Sherlock should have a say." Femia looked at Sherlock and said, after all, the wizards of the entire wizarding world know that most of the people of the Mephisto family graduated from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but there is a little gap between the two generations of Fumond and Sherlock, even if it is Fummund's brother, Laker also graduated from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Although the vast majority of our people graduated from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it doesn't mean that I know much about that place......" Sherlock smiled wryly, and which school his ancestors attended had nothing to do with him at all.
"Everyone says that Durmstrang is a very evil school, it is full of dark wizards, and that school only admits students from pure-blood families, and basically all pure-blood families in Europe can find the name of one or two of their ancestors on Durmstrand's student roster."
Lu Bo touched his chin and couldn't help but interject, he continued, "Actually, my father also planned to send me to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at first, but my mother was worried that I would learn bad ...... there."
Fermia: "Actually, I don't think you look like a good person even at Hogwarts......"
Lu Bo: "Better than you......"
Seeing that the two men were about to make another move, Sherlock simply stopped them.
"Although I don't know much about Durmstrang, I still know some of the general knowledge and history of Durmstrang's school, after all, I read a lot of books. ”
Sherlock introduced them.
Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the top three schools of magic in Europe and has a more tolerant attitude towards black magic.
Among them, the famous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald studied at the school, and the other party is often referred to in the wizarding world as the first Dark Lord, and was expelled at the age of sixteen for conducting too evil experiments in the dark arts.
Igor Karkarov is the current rector.
Their school uniforms were paired with fur cloaks and blood-red robes.
Famous Quidditch player Victor Krum also attended the school in Year 7 and did not graduate, so you may be able to meet each other during your visit to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Sherlock thought that the girls around him would show a very excited look, but they were very calm, Sherlock clearly remembered that Krum was also very popular in the original book, especially during the time at Hogwarts, where the other party basically went, there would always be a group of adoring girls behind him.
But it seems that the other party's current name doesn't have much influence here at Hogwarts, is it because of himself?
"If you only admit students from pure-blood families, does this school reject Muggle-born wizards, or even Muggles?" At this time, Hermione suddenly raised her hand and asked, it seemed that when there were many people, as long as she asked Sherlock, Hermione would always raise her hand, but when she asked others, she would be calm.
Asinsha also asked her why she raised her hand, and Hermione replied that every time she faced Sherlock, she always felt that the other party was excellent and knew more than her, like a teacher...... In fact, Hermione still hasn't said a word, and her favorite thing in her heart is someone like a teacher.
Sherlock explained.
Although Durmstrang does not accept Muggle-born students, its students do not necessarily reject them, and many Durmstrang wizards who have graduated have a deep friendship with Muggle wizards.
Durmstrang's four-story castle was not as large as Hogwarts, but it had a more spacious grounds, lacking daylight in the winter, and in the summer, students often flew outdoors, over lakes and mountains.
Although the location is known to be on the Scanvian peninsula, it is not clear exactly where it is, and Sherlock speculates that Demslang may be far to the north, and the climate is very cold, so the school's uniform includes a fur cloak.
At one point, Durmstrang had the darkest reputation of the eleven schools in the wizarding world, though it wasn't entirely true.
However, the school, which has produced many outstanding witches and wizards, has also been run twice by dark wizards with dubious allegiances or evil intentions, as well as a notorious alumnus.
The first person to bring notoriety to the school was Herfang Mangko, who took over the school shortly after the mysterious death of Durmstrang's founder, the brilliant Bulgarian witch Nelida Verchanova.
Mango made a name for Durmstrang as a skilled figure in duels and various martial arts and magic, both of which remain indispensable to the school.
Durmstrang's second dark period of history began with the ascension of former Death Eater Igor Karkaroff.
Karkaroff was an unprincipled and conceited man who deliberately fostered a wind of fear and intimidation among his students, so much so that many parents picked up their children from Durmstrang during his tenure.
The most famous alumnus is Gellert Grindelwald, the most dangerous wizard of the twentieth century, who completely ruined Durmstrang's reputation.
In recent years, however, Durmstrang has regained some momentum, producing figures such as the famous international Quidditch star Victor Krum.
Although believed to be located in Northern Europe, Durmstrang still has one of the most mysterious sites, and no one can be sure exactly where it is located.
Visitors must erase their memories with an amnesia charm to remember how they got there.
People who have been to Durmstrang say that the school's vast expanse is home to many magnificent landscapes, not least some dark, ghostly boats moored in the mountain lake behind the school.
In the summer, students can dive in the lake.
Durmstrang's coat of arms features a double-headed eagle and a deer's head in Cyrillic letters.
Just as Sherlock was introducing them, suddenly one of the Hufflepuff students in the carriage pointed out the window and shouted, they saw a Hessian castle, and it was very cold to people, and Sherlock thought that maybe they had reached their destination.
