Chapter 3 Commencement of School
Nestled in the northern part of the Pyrenees, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is hidden in meadows surrounded by beech and taiga, and snow can be seen everywhere at the tops.
When you get out of the carriage, you can see the huge Beauxbatons emblem fluttering in the air, two golden wands, each with three small golden stars at the top, under the fluttering school emblem, there are statues of Nick Lemay and his wife and a golden fountain, butterflies and little fairies can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, Beauxbatons is even more mysterious and charming intertwined with the golden water, butterflies and fairies, these are the same as in memory.
Looking at the castle more beautiful and vibrant than Hogwarts, Bernard decided to spend a different four years here.
In the past, because of the living environment, the sensitive little boy had low self-esteem and cowardice, although he was diligent and studious, but his too quiet lifestyle made the teenager not make any friends at all in this school full of romantic passion, so Bernard did not have to disguise himself in school at all, and now he had to start being himself.
……
In terms of curriculum, the three major magic schools in Europe are all similar, but they have some special courses. Like Hogwarts' Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts, Durmstrang's Dark Arts, and Beauxbatons' Magucia and Alchemy, as the alma mater of the famous alchemist Nile Leme, Beauxbatons can be said to be the best in Europe in this regard.
Unlike Hogwarts, Beauxbatons students tend not to start taking classes until the fourth year, and the sixth year does not take the general wizarding registration exam, or owls. This is because the courses in Magic and Alchemy are so difficult that students have to spend longer in this area.
Having read the full Harry Potter set and delved into mysticism, Bernard had already made a decision that Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Guardian Magic, Magic, and Alchemy would be his main learning goals for the next four years. Alas, there is still a long way to go.
Of course, in addition to studying the magic of this world, Bernard also decided to rewrite some occult manuscripts from his previous life to see if this knowledge could burst into new life in this magical world.
Do not doubt whether Bernard is capable of reconstructing these manuscripts, if you have carefully studied the contents of these manuscripts and then translated them into English, Chinese, and Latin, then you will remember them very well.
……
Life went on in an orderly manner, and no one noticed Bernard's transformation, except for the headmaster, Madame Maxim, and the classroom teacher. Madame Maxime spoke to Bernard once on her return from the holiday, sympathizing with him for his misfortune during the holiday, and telling him to come to her if there was any inconvenience.
Bernard had a crush on this elegant and charming lady full of feminine warmth, and it can be said that Madame Maxime was indispensable in being able to become the headmaster of one of the three major magical schools in Europe as a half-blood giant, in addition to the openness and romance of France.
At least Bernard didn't feel an undue amount of panic on Beauxbatons' campus, perhaps because Voldemort was not as powerful as his predecessor, the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, and swept most of Europe from the beginning. But at the beginning, Dumbledore was stubbornly blocked in England, which made everyone underestimate his madness, but also related to Madame Maxim's meticulous care, although the school has very strict school rules, but it is undeniable that this is a serious and warm school.
Although Bernard had already made up his mind to study in a partial subject, the knowledge in the compulsory education stage was really simple, and Bernard's foundation was really good before, and this doctor of linguistics with outstanding memory found himself at home here.
Attend class every day, then go to the library to find materials and complete homework, then read your favorite books, summarize and sort out the knowledge, and quietly restore and sort out the knowledge of the past life for a while in the dead of night...... Thinking about something, Bernard fell asleep in a flurry of thoughts.
School life is so plain as water, maybe it seems to other young French teenagers and girls that there is something new in the school every day, but for a person who is almost fifty years old in two lifetimes combined, it is really boring. Although he had the intention to stop and enjoy life, his soul obsessed with the occult could not stop at all, and he cried out "study, library, manuscripts" every day, spurring Bernard to stop every day.
Of course, the gradual change of Bernard is not without new friends, first of all, the relationship with the classroom teacher is constantly warming, diligent and studious, modest and serious Bernard in the new study life quickly captured the hearts of many teachers, excellent performance in class, hard work after class are seen by many teachers. It was not without teachers who were worried about Bernard's state of study, but this was defeated by a burst of tearful crying.
The powerlessness of being attacked in memory can be said to be a nightmare for Bernard, his life is so easily taken away by others, which no one can tolerate, so Bernard craves strength and guards his own power.
Secondly, it is to meet a group of like-minded friends, not many, just two people. One was Bruce Delacul, and after getting to know his friend, Bernard knew that he was the uncle of Fleur Delacour in the Triwizard Tournament, a scholar-type talent who devoted himself to the study of magical beasts.
One is Baptiste Cadillac, a name that once made Bernard complain for a long time, but in the subsequent interactions, Bernard found that Baptiste was really a great student, and the combination of wild ideas and super hands-on ability created such a Frankeniac, ah no, a magic freak.
Sure enough, genius friends are geniuses, Bernard sometimes thought proudly, the three of them know each other thanks to often meeting in the library, and when they meet more, they will naturally say hello, and slowly become familiar, Bernard's surname indisputably shows that he is from a pure-blood, Cadillac and Delacour are also long-established pure-blood families, and there will naturally be no problems between the three, and in romantic and open France, the bloodline is not a particularly serious topic, just look at Madame Maxim.
But the same background still prompted three people with the same hobby to come together.
Looking at the big report card, Bernard undoubtedly appeared in the first year of the third year, while Baptiste and Bruce were also very early in the field. That's the facilitating effect among good students.
Carrying a suitcase and not looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, Bernard and his two friends walked outside the school in the light. "Holiday! I'm coming. Bernard shouted in his heart.
