Chapter 16 Igor Karkarov
Pegasi hovered in the air for a week, and when Pegasi landed, Ranko was greeted by a black-gray, three-story bronze gate that rivaled the gates of Hogwarts.
On both sides of the bronze gate, the words "Magic is power" are carved in Norwegian and Bulgarian, which seems to be a silent reminder that every wizard who comes to this school should not forget his true nature.
The howling cold wind caused Ranko, who thought he had enough clothes, to pull out his wand.
"The magic that protects the school and the ability to change the environment."
The cold wind whipped the robes and fluttered wildly, and not far away was a huge waterfall that went straight down to the foot of the mountain.
The water of the lake, which does not freeze at such temperatures, reveals the mystery of magic.
The castle where Durmstrand is located is a miracle in itself.
The Bulgarian witch, founder and first headmaster of Durmstrang, Nerida Vokanova, is undoubtedly a great figure who walked alongside the Hogwarts Four.
Ranco didn't have to wait long, and in the howling cold wind, the three-story bronze door slowly opened a crack, and out of it came a woman who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a blood-red cloak and fluttering red hair.
"Welcome, Mr. Malfoy."
Under the gaze of Ranko's wand in his hand, the woman with the fluttering magic walked quickly in front of Ranko and introduced herself with a proper smile:
"I'm Durmstrang's vice principal, Winnie Kolaki Danlin. I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I've been a little anxious about what I need to do lately. ”
Ranko lowered his wand and nodded politely.
Winnie's expression became more and more sincere, and she didn't seem to be surprised at all that Mr. Malfoy was the child-like Ranko in front of her, and after a brief introduction, the two walked into the inside of the bronze long door, and officially entered Durmstrang.
"I'll take care of the carriage to the house-elves here, you don't need to worry."
"Since I have chosen your school, I will naturally be relieved."
Oh, of course, it's just a ceremonial answer.
As a dark wizard, it's not too much to put some black magic on his stuff, right?
It was after entering Durmstrang that the blizzard seemed to ease somewhat, but the freezing temperature remained very stable at a relatively stable temperature.
This left Ranko wondering if the school intended to create a unique atmosphere with a cold environment.
"Mr. Malfoy...... Now I should call him Professor Malfoy, and President Karkaroff has been waiting in the rector's office for a long time, and I will send the corresponding paperwork to the rector's office later. ”
Entering Durmstrang is a relatively spacious open space, not far from the main body of the castle stands in the middle of the rushing lake, and the stone bridge connects the open space to the castle, and in front of the stone bridge stands three towering stone pillars.
"Durmstron forbids apparition...... The Headmaster's office is located in the East Tower on the east side of the castle, and the corresponding portkey is required to get there. ”
Winnie explained.
Ranko, who had already guessed about Durmstrang's prohibition of apparitions, nodded and walked to the center of the three stone pillars in front of the stone bridge, and touched the one east of the three stone pillars under Winnie's explanation.
His body was then violently twisted and dragged toward the East Tower, which was built in the distance on the mountain, but did not share the same peak as Durmstrang.
The feeling was not unfamiliar, and by the time Ranko's vision went from distorted to clear, he was already in a room made of black stone bricks.
The temperature here was abruptly different from the outside, and Professor Malfoy, who was just a foot away from the door, tidied up his collar a little because of the portkey, unbuttoned it a little too tightly, and then opened the wooden door and entered a room with the warm glow of a fireplace.
The floor of the room was covered with a thick blanket, the sofa was neatly arranged, several landscape paintings hung from the wall, and on the bookshelf next to the window were a few black hardcover books explaining wizarding history and some common spells, but they didn't seem to be the bestsellers on the market.
This is supposed to be a reception room, and Igor Karkarov is not here.
Professor Malfoy sat down and tucked his wand into his sleeve.
"Igor Karkaroff, the former Death Eater, was martyred in poor Tom...... Well, the girl was arrested after "killing", but he betrayed his fellow Death Eaters in the Wizengamot court to get a good result of leniency. ”
Mr. Igor Karkaroff, who was exempted from the Azkaban Lifetime Experience Card, probably never wants to remember his time in England for the rest of his life.
Changing positions, Ranko stared at the flames not far away.
In the flames, a pair of cold and sharp eyes were also observing everything in the room.
Igor Karkarov, who was behind the huge desk in the rector's office, got up from his chair and looked at the Dark Mark on his left arm, calm and madness flashing in serious madness.
"Ranko Malfoy."
Karkaroff silently recited the name over and over again in his heart.
After receiving the letter, Karkaroff searched almost all the newspapers, papers, books, and histories with the name of the man.
An outstanding graduate of Slytherin House at Hogwarts, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, and an honorary healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, he specializes in healing irreparable damage caused by extreme dark magic......
Karkaroff was one of the earliest followers of the Mysteries, who, by chance, had heard his name from the not-so-crazy Mysteries, and "regretted" that he had died under the wand of the terrible Dark Lord who had influenced the world.
He's alive......
At the time of receiving the letter, Karkaroff even wondered if he was pretending to be a Death Eater who was chasing him, in order to infiltrate Durmstrang and slay him, a former traitor.
But with the letter arrived, a magical document dispelled some of his doubts.
The Malfoy family crest, as well as Ranko Malfoy's personal seal and signature with a hint of the "Unbreakable Oath", caused a hint of hysterical madness and anticipation in Karkaroff's heart.
"Maybe he can really solve the problem?"
Through the fireplace in the principal's office, Karkaroff calmed his heart beating, took out his wand, and quickly cast some protective spells on himself before putting it away, opening the door to the headmaster's office, and walking slowly down the spiraling staircase.
