Chapter 245: Beauxbatons and Durmstrang
Maybe telling Hermione the reality would really shatter her illusions. Brie insists on justice, but it is only relative, and absolute justice can only be a disaster and impossible.
"Aren't house-elves really servants, Brie?" Hermione sobbed faintly, she only felt her head buzz with a punch from Brie's words, but she felt that she had suddenly let go of something, and her mind became much broader, remembering the smiling face of the house-elf when she was working.
"I'm sorry I said something stupid." Hermione blushed in response. Brie smiled and said gently, "They are not servants, the word servant comes from the oppression and inability to disobey the master. β
"Winter..."Moody, who had passed by Brie, suddenly stopped, and the cane in his hand lightly slammed into the ground, and looked at Brie with resignation.
Brie looked back at Moody, then at Hermione, and said meaningfully, "Hermione, you should have read the book and know that the Death Eaters had an iconic tattoo. β
"It can cast a spell of punishment like a heart curse, which is a servant contract with inferior means, and this is not to be treated as a human being, and not to enjoy human rights."
"Oh, it reminds me of Grindelwald and his saints, good and evil aside, he is indeed a good leader, at least not to embarrass his men." Brie stopped the conversation, looked at Moody, who was walking away with messy steps, smiled softly, and took out his notebook.
"Maybe we can have another topic, like, Hermione, what do you think of Muggles and wizards in your current capacity?" Like a journalist, Brie flipped through a new blank page, his wand flicking into an automatic quill, recording interviews with Hermione.
β¦β¦ Moody's eyes flickered as he walked to the teacher's seat, as if he was weak and thoughtful, he clenched his palms and recalled the scene more than two months ago - after escaping from Draco's side, Barty Jr. was unable to crack Brie's Transfiguration doped with natural magic, and Draco's short potion treatment could not repair his body, and he had to hide from his father as a ferret, which made his injuries worse, but soon he accepted Voldemort's summons, and the destination was Crouch's house...... Looking at little Barty's misery, baby-sized, skeletal Voldemort smiled happily: "You are finally here, you who share the same tragic fate with me, little Barty!" β
"Twitter..."The master...
"You have two things to do, one, get Harry Potter involved in my resurrection!"
"Tsk..." is...
"Two..."
"I'm going to let Ode destroy!"
ββ¦ Ji. β
"Come here, then, and I'll unenchant you."
"Tsk."
"Huh?" Voldemort looked at the ferret in front of him, his sunken eyes filled with anger.
"What kind of magic is this!" Peter, trembling on the side, handed over a copy of "The Fundamentals of Natural Magic".
"That's it, master."
"Nature magic?" Annoyed, Voldemort threw the book in front of the ferret, suppressed his coldness, and said, "You can find a way to change it back before the plan begins." ββ¦β¦
"Bump!" Little Barty's memory is awakened by the loud sound of the door opening, and his vision and sound gradually return.
Dumbledore, as the headmaster, stood up very enthusiastically and shouted in front of the oratory in front of the teacher's seat, "Oh, get ready, today is the time for our friends to arrive!" Soon, as the little wizards looked out of the gate, a black dot on the Forbidden Forest gradually approached and magnified, and when the little wizards saw it clearly, they all inhaled cold air.
"That's the house?"
"It's a carriage flying in the sky, look at those Pegasus, they're about the size of elephants, they're so cool!" Accompanied by the amazement of the young wizards, a huge powder blue carriage landed on the platform of the square in front of Hogwarts Castle.
"Oh!" A tall lady who embarrassed Hagrid stepped out, striding forward, her jewels glistening in the setting sun, and Dumbledore hurried to meet them.
"Welcome, Madame Maxim." Dumbledore said. Lady Maxim smiled gracefully, and she said with a slight respect, "I hope you're doing well, Dumbledore." β
"Of course, thank you." Dumbledore responded.
"This is my student." Madame Maxim pointed out, and soon everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
A group of beautiful men and women got out of the carriage, trembling slightly, after all, it was already winter in November, and the cold was coming, and I was afraid that it would snow in a few days.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Ron was taken aback.
"How handsome." Hermione had already returned to the Gryffindor table at this time, and when she heard someone next to her say this, she couldn't help but say, "I think Brie is the best-looking, especially temperament and self-cultivation, these are things that they can't touch." The handsome witch who had just said nodded her head and said affirmatively, "Who can compare to Oude?" Here, Madame Maxime asked Dumbledore, "Is Karkaroff here?" Dumbledore shook his head, but as soon as Beauxbatons' students entered, there was a sound in the distance in the Black Lake, and a large black pole emerged from under the water, followed by his entire hull.
"Wow!" The imposing ship leaned against the Black Lake, and soon a group of sturdy men followed their leader, the Professor.
"Oh, my old fellow, how are you?" As soon as Karkaroff came up, he greeted Dumbledore warmly.
Dumbledore responded, and when the people behind Karkaroff arrived, all the out-of-school students walked into the halls of Hogwarts.
"We'll let Hagrid take care of your horses, Madame Maxim."
"Oh, that's great, but they only drink the finest single malt whisky......"
"Wow......" The little wizards chattered again, and the protagonists were none other than this group of newcomers from the school.
"That's Krum, Harry, who almost defeated the sinister Malfoy at the Fantasy Games World Cup!" Here, Malfoy also saw Krum.
"Oh, why am I not seventeen, otherwise he would have lost, huh." Krum's eyes looked at Draco, and there was also a battle intent in his eyes, but unfortunately this time the competition was a triwizard competition, and he had no chance to compete with Draco.
"That's Brie Ode?" Beauxbatons' focus is on Brie, they both like the most dazzling things, and obviously, at their age, Brie's attraction to them is strong, and they are immediately attracted to Brie at first sight.
"Fleur, haven't you been looking for a lot of information lately, what do you say Oude likes?" A woman from the same school did not hide her voice and boldly asked Fleur.
Fleur smiled and said, "I'm not going to tell you. As he spoke, he laughed and sat down on the arranged seat, which was the Ravenclaw table, and when they reacted, they were a little depressed, because Durmstrang's people were already sitting at the Slytherin table.
"Bold and romantic Frenchman." Draco spat and said to Brie, "I don't think there's anything to be prepared for them..."
"Can I sit here?" Krum gestured to Brie's side...... Stare at... The Slytherins all looked over, and the little wizards at the rest of the table also quietly watched, and the hall suddenly became a lot quieter.
Because of Slytherin's strange behavior this year, no one around Brie dared to approach except Draco, and even Astoria didn't dare to take risks after being scolded by her family.
"I think Slytherin has a lot of positions." Draco looked at the Slytherin table, which was sparsely seated like a small group, and without him having to speak, Selwyn, the seventh-year prefect, said, "Don't you have the eyesight?" Soon, the Snakes gave Durmstrang students a wide spot away from Brie.
Krum sat down strangely with the rest of the group, whispering something. Karkaroff, who had already taken the professorship, frowned unhappily, but he didn't dare to say anything when he looked at Slytherin, especially when he looked at Brie, and he looked away as if he didn't notice.
"Is that Mr. Ode, I've been reading his Fundamentals of Natural Magic." Madame Maxim was like a fan, but soon remembered that she was a headmaster, and immediately suppressed her excitement and said, "Amazing talent." Dumbledore squinted and smiled, and he said, "I think Ode just doesn't want people to disturb him, I heard he's working on a new compilation of the book, and I think I'll see the sublimated book soon." β
"Oh, that's lucky." Madame Maxim exclaimed, lamenting that she would not miss it. When new footsteps sounded outside the door, Dumbledore got up again, and soon, several Aurors escorted the two Ministry of Magic officials and their staff to Hogwarts, and even waited for them to sit down, Dumbledore stood in front of the podium, coughed twice, and said, "First of all! β
"We welcome our friends from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang!"
"This is Madame Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons..."
"This is Professor Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang..."
"And, of course, the studentsβ" there was a burst of jubilation. Dumbledore added, "This is Mr. Barty Crouch, who is currently the Director of the Department of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, and the other is Mr. Ludo Bagman, who is the Director of the Department of Physical Education at the Ministry of Magic. There was a round of sparse applause.
After Dumbledore's introduction, he said, "Then, tonight's banquet begins!" "Delicious dishes appeared on the table, and it was then that the little wizards realized that they were hungry and began to feast on them......
"Hmph..."Brie suddenly felt a targeted gaze staring at him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Mr. Barty Crouch, and then he saw that Crouch was pale and his sickly face was flushed, and he said loudly to Dumbledore: "I think your arrangement is correct, only students over the age of seventeen can see it, otherwise some guys who rely on crooked ways and deviate from wizards will succeed!" β
