When the woman turned around, her face became cold and arrogant.

It was as if that slight smile was an illusion.

(Snap slap benefits ahead.) ）

Dumbledore smiled and began to applaud in welcome, and the classmates cooperated and clapped their hands.

"Bang Bang ......"

There were also many who stood on tiptoe, trying to see the woman better.

The woman's face softened a little, and she smiled gracefully and detachedly, and held out a glittering hand and walked towards Dumbledore.

Dumbledore, though also tall, barely bent over when he kissed the back of his hand.

"Dear Madame Maxim. He said, "Welcome to Hogwarts. ”

Madame Maxim said in a faint voice, "Dumbledore, I hope you are well. ”

Dumbledore smiled, "I'm very nice, thank you for your concern." ”

Madame Maxim waved her hand, pointed to the crowd behind her, and said, "This is my student." ”

About a dozen schoolboys and girls were getting out of the carriage and were standing behind Madame Maxim.

Judging from their appearance, they are all about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are all trembling slightly.

This is not surprising, since the robes on their bodies seem to be made of fine silk, and none of them wear thick cloaks.

It's very cold in England at this time.

In addition, looking at their expressions, they were all a little frightened, and from time to time they glanced towards the dark forbidden forest behind them, obviously afraid that the two monsters had just run out.

Several other students wrapped their heads in scarves or turbans, and they all looked up at Hogwarts with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.

Madame Maxime sighed secretly, Beauxbatons still can't compare to Hogwarts.

In the hearts of Hogwarts students, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is full of unknowns, but in the hearts of Beauxbatons students, Hogwarts is not a legendary school.

The first wizarding school in the wizarding world, the legendary Big Four, the strongest wizard of this century, Dumbledore, etc., have long been deafening.

Lady Maxime said, "Dumbledore, my two Pegasi are no longer available at your Hogwarts, what do you say?"

Dumbledore didn't want to take the pot, he smiled and said, "I wrote to you that when you come, don't pass over the Forbidden Forest. ”

"Hmph. "Madame Maxim is very distressed, and each rare Pegasus is worth nearly ten thousand gold Galleons.

Madame Maxim asked, "Is Karkaroff here?"

Dumbledore said, "Come on, would you rather wait here for him, or would you rather go in and get warm?"

Madame Maxim said, "Let's warm up first, my students can't stand it, but those ......."

"Our Conservation Magical Creatures teacher will be happy to take care of them. Dumbledore said.

Madame Maxim was a little skeptical: "Their strength is so great that ordinary people can't subdue them......"

Dumbledore gestured with his fingers pointing upwards to the sides and smiled, "Don't worry, no one knows how to take care of Pegasi better than Hagrid." ”

Madame Maxim said, "All right, but tell him that these horses only drink pure malt whiskey." ”

Dumbledore said, "I will." ”

Madame Maxim said majestically to her students: "Come on. ”

The crowd at Hogwarts dodged a passageway for her and her students to walk up the stone steps.

......

A moment after Madame Maxime and her students had left, a very loud and strange sound rang out from the darkness, a suppressed rumbling, as if there were giants beating drums across a mountain.

Lee Jordan pointed to the lake and shouted, "The sound is coming from the lake." ”

"Look at the lake, it looks like something is about to burst out!"

Standing on the slope of the lawn overlooking the site, they could clearly see that the calm, black water seemed to be boiling and violently turbulent.

There was a commotion in the middle of the lake, a huge splash on the surface of the water, waves crashing against the damp shore, and then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared.

A long, black pole-like thing rose diagonally from the center of the whirlpool, followed by the sails, and the deck exposed to the lake.

It turned out to be a ship.

Slowly, the eerie ship rose out of the water.

The giant ship glittered in the moonlight.

It looked eerie, like a skeleton, as if it were the remains of a freshly salvaged shipwreck, and the windows shimmered with a dim, foggy lilac light that looked like ghostly eyes.

Finally, with a screeching splash, the water in the boat flowed out of the deck like a small waterfall.

The big boat tossed on the undulating surface of the lake and began to head towards the shore.

Moments later, the Hogwarts students heard a thud and a dark figure being thrown into the water.

"It's not a good thing, throw the body into the sea!" I don't know who shouted in panic.

"Can I please shut you up, this is an anchor, do you understand!"

The big boat was at least twenty meters high, and when the ship reached the shore, a long, wide plank was stretched out from the stern of the boat, and with a snap, it landed on the shore of the lake.

There was a very loud sound of footsteps, and many figures poured out of the cabin.

They all looked as tall and oppressive as Crabbe and Goyle, who had previously attended Hogwarts.

This made the students of Hogwarts couldn't help but hold their breath, feeling that this was a group of fierce people.

However, when they walked to the plank, the Hogwarts students saw it clearly, and realized that they were not very large, not much different from them. It's just that these people are wearing a kind of fur cloak, and the fur on it is unkempt and tangled, so they look very majestic.

The man who led them to the castle was dressed in a white fur that was soft and smooth, like his hair.

As soon as the man walked up the slope, he shouted enthusiastically, "Dear old man, are you alright?"

Dumbledore said, "I'm fine, Professor Karkaroff. ”

Karkaroff was tall and thin like Dumbledore, and an old man, but his white hair was short, and his goatee couldn't hide his skinny chin at all.

He walked up to Dumbledore and shook Dumbledore's hand with two joyful hands.

"My dear fellow, Hogwarts, it's been a long time. He looked up at the castle and smiled.

Although he had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, and he was still cold and sharp.

This made the students who had just welcomed Madame Maxim very uncomfortable, because the smiling Professor Karkaroff was not as pleasing to them as the cold-faced Madame Maxim.

Professor Karkaroff said nostalgically: "It's good to be here, it's good...... Wickdor, come over and warm up...... You don't mind, Dumbledore, Victor has a cold......"

Karkaroff motioned for one of his students to step forward.

The boy had a striking hooked nose and two thick, dark eyebrows.

As soon as he stepped out, the people around him whispered and recognized the figure.

Hermione said suspiciously, "It seems that some time ago, we watched ......"

"Oh my God, it's Krum!" someone exclaimed.

"Really? Which Krum?" someone asked.

"Which one else could it be? Of course, the star Quidditch player, one of the best Seekers in the world. "It seems that he has a lot of fans.

Hermione said curiously, "Isn't it just a Quidditch player?

"You know what!" said a wizard who was excitedly talking to the people around him about Krum's best game, turning his head angrily.

This is Ron.

However, seeing that it was Hermione and Harry beside her, Ron stopped talking.

He quickly turned around and continued to communicate with the people around him as if nothing had happened: "Merlin, he's my favorite Quidditch player! I'm going to have to ask him for an autograph!"

Hermione said a little angrily, "Why are there so many brainless fans?" ”
