Chapter 5: First Sight of Durmstrang
In the middle of the train, a tense-faced witch came pushing the cart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Admittedly, the Hogwarts snacks who sell snacks seem much friendlier.
Benjamin touched his empty stomach and bought a bag of beef jerky.
That's right, even the food is a little different.
Obviously there is a lot more meat.
There was even beer and sausages!
But Benjamin asked Yorker that only sixth- and seventh-graders were allowed to buy beer.
"It's better to have German beer, are you German? I've been to Oktoberfest in Munich once before, and it's heaven!"
York suddenly became agitated, apparently drinking behind his parents' backs.
"I'm German, but I grew up in England. I thought Oktoberfest was a Muggle carnival. ”
"Of course, my father and I got into it dressed as Muggles! Actually, a lot of people do, and that day was a wizard and Muggle party! If only I had been born in Germany!"
York was actually a little jealous of Benjamin.
"Okay, so which country are you from? I listen to your German, which is pretty good. Benjamin said with a smile.
"Yes? Maybe you're a fake German? My classmates all say I have a strong German accent and I'm from Finland. ”
York said honestly.
"Well, well," Mr. Ludwig grew up instilling in Benjamin also not standard German. If you really want to subdivide it, it should be the Bavarian accent. Fortunately, he has a strong understanding of the language, and basically every regional dialect can be understood. "I don't seem to speak standard German myself. ”
"It's nothing," Joker immediately waved his hand, "there are a lot of people in Bavaria in our school, so you can easily fit in." To be honest, if you meet Austrians, their German is strange!"
So Benjamin and York talked for a long time about the accent.
Until the train arrived at its destination safely and securely.
At this moment, a tall witch came from the back carriage.
"Everyone is up, everyone is awake!" the witch waved her wand in her hand, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the carriage.
It's simply anti-human!
"Everybody lined up for me, one by one. The seniors are at the front! The seniors are not there!"
Immediately, all 12 students stood up and appeared in front of the witch.
"Hello Madam Mary. ”
"Very well, except for the first-year freshmen, everyone follows their prefects. If you don't know your prefect, hmph, Durmstrang isn't such an idiot!"
Benjamin followed behind Jokkel
Both of his prefects were boys.
It should be said that the entire Durmstrang is mostly boys, and even if it is a girl, they are all heroic, completely different from the little princesses of Hogwarts.
"This is our riding teacher, and she's actually pretty good. York whispered to Benjamin.
"Riding lessons, is it similar to a Quidditch lesson?" said Benjamin, confused.
"No, we will be taught to ride horses at first. Because horseback riding was a tradition of the aristocracy and must not be abandoned. In the senior year, she would also teach us to ride magical creatures, such as earth dragons. ”
Benjamin nodded immediately, his eyes full of interest.
It seems that Durmstrang also has a lot of interesting points.
"You like Quidditch too," Joker looked very excited, "In Durmstrang, there are members of the national team! Our annual Quidditch tournament is as exciting as the Quidditch World Cup!"
"Really?" said Benjamin didn't like Quidditch too much, but he thought it would be an entry point for him to quickly settle into Durmstran. "I used to be at Hogwarts as a docent. ”
"Oh, that's awesome. Our school has two competitions every year, one is the Copa del Rey, which is a knockout system, where eight teams compete each year. The other is the league, which is the top four of the previous year's Copa del Rey, and the final league title is likely to be favored by some big clubs, and it may even be selected for the national team!"
It seems that this Yorkel is a big fan of Quidditch.
At this time, Ms. Mary glanced at the freshman behind her.
"All the freshmen are following me, and I'll tell you Durmstrang rules along the way. ”
As if remembering something, she pulled out a note from her pocket, "Where is Benjamin Ludwig, you come to the freshman first." ”
Suddenly, Benjamin was the focus of everyone's attention.
There were quite a few senior students looking at him and whispering.
"Oh, who's that guy? Not like a first-grader. ”
"Ludwig? a very old surname, it seems that he is from the Ludwig family. ”
At this time, a tall boy laughed, "The Ludwig family is coming back? ”
After Benjamin said goodbye to York, he walked up to Lady Mary.
"Oh, he looks pretty spirited, like your father. ”
Lady Mary said this, and stopped paying attention to Benjamin.
It made Benjamin curious, she actually knew her father, could it be Mrs. Ludwig's lover when she was young?
Everyone got off the train, and as soon as Benjamin got off the train, he saw the peaks everywhere, and among them, the most striking was Durmstrang.
Compared to Hogwarts, Durmstrang is more heavy and cold.
"That's our school right in front of us. Please don't run out to play at night. There are a lot of ferocious magical creatures in the area, and there are even giants. If you come out and get killed, the school will never be responsible. ”
Some of the timid freshmen gasped.
Benjamin didn't think so, isn't this similar to Hogwarts, there must be a caretaker like Hagrid.
Now it's about scaring and scaring new students.
"If you think it's just scaring you, just try. Anyway, we don't have that many teachers in our school, and there is no way that anyone is guarding here. ”
Benjamin touched his cheek and felt that the slap in the face had come a little quickly.
After they had walked through the vast forest, they came to Durmstrang.
It was a four-story building, with an eagle-like thing hovering over it.
The eagle flew over and turned into a black-robed wizard.
