Chapter 529: Draco Goes On
"You know, Dad actually considered sending me to Durmstrang instead of Hogwarts, he knew the Headmaster, well, you know what he thought of Durmstrang - the man was weird - Durmstrang didn't admit that unseemly stuff, but Mom didn't like me going to school that far away, and Dad said Durmstrang was more skilled at witchcraft than Hogwarts.
Durmstrang's students are actually learning spells, not just doing something as pointless as defensive, as we do. β
Hermione stood up, tiptoed to the door of the carriage, and slowly closed the door, muffling Malf's voice.
"Looks like he thinks Durmstrang will be the right fit for him, right?" she said angrily, "I wish he had gotten out of the way sooner so we wouldn't have tolerated him." β
"Is Durmstrang another school of witchcraft and wizardry?" asked Harry.
"Yes. Hermione snorted, "It has a terrible reputation, and according to the European Review of Magical Education, this school has a strong focus on witchcraft. β
"I think I've heard that. Ron mumbled, "Where is it?
"Well, no one knows, does it?" said Hermione, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, how so?" asked Harry.
"Traditionally, there was a lot of competition among all the schools of magic, and Durmstrang and Beauxbatons liked to hide their whereabouts so that no one could steal their secrets. β
Hermione said matter-of-factly.
"Don't be funny," Ron began laughing, "Durmstrang is about the size of Hogwarts, how do you hide a big dirty castle?"
"But Hogwarts is invisible. Hermione said in surprise, "Everybody knows...... Well, anyway, if you look at Hogwarts and read history, you know. β
"It's just you. Ron said, "Go onβhow did you hide somewhere like Hogwarts?"
"It's enchanted. Hermione said, "If a Muggle were to observe it, all they would see would be a pile of ruins with a sign at the door that said 'Do not enter,' in danger." β
"Beauxbatons is the same, except that they have hidden an entire mountain with magic, and I asked Nicolame. β
"Hiding an entire mountain?" Harry was surprised.
"Yes, they're there...... Uh, I forgot what the mountains are, but Beauxbatons students aren't very friendly to their boys. β
"It's true that I don't really like it. Hermione said.
Van Lin wrote back, and he gave a general account of what had happened at Beauxbatons, so Hermione ......
"There's no way they're going to beat you......" Ron said, "even if it's ...... together."
"But it's annoying. β
"Why are they targeting you?" Hermione wondered, she didn't quite understand how a cadet's contest could turn into such an eye-catching battle.
"Uh...... Maybe I don't care too much about them. Van Lin said that he didn't dare to say that it was because of Fleur, at least, it was not a good bragging rights.
"Don't care?"
"You can't let me say hello one by one, and I don't have enough time. Van Lin said curtly.
In fact, he knew Fleur and Gabrielle at Beauxbatons, and he knew a guy who was going against him, Brown, and the others......
Well, that's just what you've seen.
"Alright, let's move on to Durmstrang. "You know, Durmstrang is tolerant of the dark arts. β
"Yes, everybody says so, and besides, Grindelwald came out of Durmstrang, so if Beauxbatons will also have a Dark Lord or something. β
Hermione frowned, if that's the case, then the three major schools of magic in Europe are really interesting......
"Probably not. Van Lin said, and he thought of Beauxbatons's hordes of young ladies, the yin and yang learning atmosphere.
"Maybe there's a ...... Witch ......," Van Lin tried.
"Witch?"
"If Hermione was in Beauxbatons, maybe ......"
"Shut your mouth, Ron, and don't drag the two of us into the water together. β
"I'm ......" Ron was a little confused, and the devil knew that he had made the wrong string and took the initiative to provoke Hermione with harsh words.
"I'll give you a chance to repeat what you just said...... I...... What's going on in Beauxbatons?
A bright smile spread across Hermione's face, matched by the girl's gentle face......
"Oh...... No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I mean...... So Durmstrang is just a pile of ruins in the eyes of outsiders?"
Forcibly changing the subject, it's not a good way to do it.
Hermione didn't seem to bother to pay attention to Ron, though, at least on the train.
"Probably. Hermione shrugged, "Maybe the Muggle forbidden spell on it, like the World Cup stadium, won't let outside magicians find it, and they'll make it unfathomableβ"
"Again?"
"Hey, you can cast a spell on a building to make it impossible to survey on a map, can you?"
The topic was pulled back in the next second, and no one would mention anything about Beauxbatons, which was not a good thing.
"Hmm...... If you say so. Harry said.
"But I think Durmstrang must be somewhere far north," Hermione pondered, "a very cold place because they have fur cloaks in their uniforms." β
"Ah, think about that possibility," Ron said dreamily, "it's not possible to push Malfoy into the glacier so easily and make it an accident...... What a pity his mother likes him so much......"
"Narcissa will definitely look for you desperately, speaking of which, Narcissa is still Sirius's cousin?"
Everyone looked at each other.
For the chaotic and complicated genealogy of the nobles, these little wizards will never be able to figure it out.
Perhaps, if you go up for hundreds of generations, you and your classmates around you may still be separated by relatives who don't know how many backs.
His cousin's nephew or something......
It's a bit confusing.
"So, Harry and Malfoy......"
"I know what you're trying to say, so, please shut up, I'm not related to Sirius. β
"However, you are his godson, and if Sirius does not find a girlfriend to give him a new son or daughter, the Black family needs you to inherit it. β
"It can't be, Sirius him...... And, I ...... I am who I am, you know, I can't be with ...... What does Malfoy have to do with it...... Forever. β
"If you know that your original family is also a powerful family, I hope you can continue to maintain this kind of rhetoric. "So, resign yourself to your fate, Harry, your circle is really messy, maybe you ......"
"Shut up, Van Lin, you can't use your magic yet......"
