In the blink of an eye, the rune horse landed smoothly.

The golden, elephant-sized horses shook their massive heads and silver sideburns on their backs, their fiery red eyes twitching, and they soon noticed Harley.

Several of the horses snorted in a friendly manner, and one of them neighed, startling the little wizards around him.

Harley remembers that when Fleur took her to visit Rune Horse's stable, she personally fed a few barrels of fine malt whisky to this group of delicate young masters and young ladies.

I didn't expect them to have such a good memory, and now they recognize Harley so quickly.

The carriage also slammed into the ground along with the rune horses, splashing a large cloud of dust.

When the car came to a complete stop, the door opened with the inscription "Two golden criss-cross wands, each with three stars emerging from them."

A boy in a light blue robe jumped down, bent slightly, and opened a golden spiral ladder from the floor of the carriage.

Then he took a step back respectfully, bowing his head slightly, waiting for the others in the carriage to appear.

Many of the students gasped as the shiny black heels came out of the carriage.

What big shoes! Is this the shoe size that a normal person should have? I'm afraid only giants need shoes of this size!

Ms. Maxim gracefully stepped out of the carriage with the Beauxbatons students and stood in the clearing.

She also carried the same amount of delicate ornaments as she had last met Harley, only this time in a black satin dress.

Professor Dumbledore first greeted the students with applause, and then kissed Miss Maxim's hand without bending down.

"Dear Lady Maxime, welcome to Hogwarts!"

"Professor Dumbledore," Miss Maxim said in a low voice, "I hope you're doing well. ”

"Very good, thank you." Professor Dumbledore responded.

"This is the student I brought, and it will be troublesome for your school to take care of it during this year." Ms. Maxim waved her hand, revealing a dozen students behind her.

Among them was a tall witch with a turban on her head and a little girl of about eight or nine years old, also wearing a turban, who was looking around.

When she saw Harley, Fleur blinked her blue eyes in a friendly way.

Hallie stood behind Professor McGonagall and didn't move, only a smile in response.

After all, she now represents the face of Gryffindor, and she can't make big moves at will on such a serious occasion.

However, Ms. Maxim quickly helped Harley solve the problem.

After she and Professor Dumbledore muttered for a while, the Headmaster called Harley over.

This made the little wizards around quietly bite their ears and talk about it again, but they didn't expect Harley to know the principals of other magic schools.

Is this the networking and influence of genius?

Hallie stepped forward quickly, her legs slightly bent, and lifted the sides of her robe slightly: "Good evening, Lady Maxim." ”

"Good evening, Harley." Lady Maxim nodded, "It's been a long time, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Huh~" Hallie tilted her head slightly and looked at Ms. Maxim in confusion.

"It was the last Quidditch World Cup final, the riot." Ms. Maxim explained softly,

"The mob almost hit the Beauxbatons students, and almost hurt Fleur and Gabrielle."

"Thankfully, you stopped them. So I want to thank you. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, ma'am." Harley's face was full of humility, "It's just a gesture." ”

"Well, you are such a wonderful boy, why not Beauxbatons?"

Miss Maxime sighed and began digging into the wall in front of Professor Dumbledore,

"Nicol likes you so much, and many of the Beauxbatons students admire your appearance that night."

"If you come to Beauxbatons, I can guarantee that you will become a headmaster after graduation."

"Ms. Maxim, it's not a good thing to dig into a wall in front of me." Professor Dumbledore interrupted her with a smile,

"Even if Harley is going to be the headmaster, she will be the headmaster of Hogwarts. I'm an old guy, and I'm ready to retire. ”

"You're boring, Dumbledore." Ms. Maxim complained casually, while looking around,

"Haven't the other magic schools come yet?"

"They'll come at any time." Professor Dumbledore smiled slightly,

"Would you rather wait here to meet them, or would you rather go in first to warm up?"

"Then let's warm up first."

Before Ms. Maxim was about to say something, several thunderclaps suddenly sounded in the sky, and the wind began to howl.

Several huge white eagles harnessed the wind and drove the electricity towards Hogwarts.

The frequency of their wings flapping is unusually uniform, and the direction of their flight and the formation of their alignment are exactly the same.

It is a magical animal endemic to North America, the Thunderbird.

There was a hut in the middle of the Thunderbirds, and there was no rope between the hut and the Thunderbird, but it was quickly moving forward under the guidance of the Thunderbird.

"Lady Maxim, I think Ilvermorny's friends have arrived."

Professor Dumbledore watched the Thunderbird approach and whispered,

"I'm afraid I'll need to get the professor at Hogwarts to take the rune horses away for the time being to make room for Ilvermorny's guests."

"Of course, I hope your professors can take care of it...... Well, I guess he can do it, at least without getting hurt. ”

Miss Maxim nodded when she saw Hagrid walking up and down to lead the horse.

However, Hagrid's current performance is not particularly good, and he always unconsciously sneaks in to see Ms. Maxim.

Thankfully, Professor Dumbledore was here, otherwise he would have gone up and spoken to Miss Maxim.

"I forgot to remind you that Beauxbatons' Rune Horse only drinks pure malt whiskey!" Ms. Maxim reminded suddenly.

"Oh, okay!" Hagrid subconsciously replied loudly, and prepared to go to the Hog's Head Bar right away and buy dozens of barrels of the purest high-grade liquor.

What? The vice-chancellor hasn't approved the money yet? What are you kidding, really Hogwarts invisible rich Hagrid has no money!

Isn't it just out of pocket? Buy!

The Thunderbird was about to land, and there was another school arriving at the same time as them.

A clearing on the edge of the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts suddenly bloomed with a green glow.

Countless seeds quickly took root and sprouted, grew rapidly, pulled out branches and leaves, and turned into trees.

The trees form exactly in a circle, leaving a clearing in the middle.

In the clearing, there was a seed that shone like an emerald.

When the other trees have grown, the "emerald" blooms, but instead of becoming a tree, it quickly forms a giant pink flower with buds ready to bloom.

The flowers shimmered and slowly bloomed, revealing a group of wizards dressed in robes emblazoned with the Castrobuscher crest.

This novel way of appearing caused the students to exclaim, after all, the way Beauxbatons and Ilvermorny in the sky had not yet landed was at least understandable to everyone.

But this way of Castrobusche...... I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it!

Ilvermorny's Thunderbirds quickly hit the ground, and the hut slammed into the ground as hard as the previous wagon.

"Welcome, welcome!" Professor Dumbledore strode up to meet him, and Miss Maxim took a half-step behind her.

"Good evening, Dumbledore." Joseph Oliveira, the headmaster of Castrobusche, was the first to walk out of the newly formed woods,

"Thank you for planting the seeds in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come here so smoothly."

"It's a gesture." Professor Dumbledore nodded, looking at the middle-aged wizard who had just appeared on the other side,

"Egillburn, is the journey going well?"

"Of course." Egilborn Fontana, the headmaster of Ilvermorny, waved his hand lightly, and the breeze dispersed the dust around him,

"Long time no see, Dumbledore."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

The Thunderbirds nodded at Principal Fontana, quickly instigated their wings to take off, and disappeared into the clouds.

Looking at the inquiring eyes of several principals around him, Principal Fontana smiled politely:

"Thunderbirds are arrogant, and Ilvermorny and these powerful magical creatures are only equal contractual relationships."

"We can ask the Thunderbird for help, but we must pay for it."

"Now that they've fulfilled their contract, they're going to return to the Thunderbird Sanctuary in North America."

"It's a harmonious relationship." Professor Dumbledore picked up the conversation, so as not to let the place go cold,

"I was just discussing with Madam Maxim when you'll be there."

"Do you want to go in first and warm up? The Wizardry and Durmstrang friends haven't arrived yet......"

Before Professor Dumbledore could finish his sentence, a strange voice suddenly drifted from the darkness.

The sound was like a pent-up rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the riverbed.

The calm surface of the Black Lake suddenly became choppy, and huge waves rolled on the water, crashing against the wet shore.

Then, in the very center of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, from which a slender pole protruded, followed by sails and rigging......

An ancient skeletal sailing ship is emerging from the Black Lake!

But the accident happened, and just as the boat was fully surfaced, a huge gourd suddenly rushed into the river upstream of the Black Lagoon.

The gourd slammed into the sailboat with a loud thud.

So in the stunned eyes of the wizards of the four schools, the sailboat toppled to the side, and the gourd flew out in the opposite direction.

It's broken, it's an accident!

Professor Dumbledore reacted quickly, instantly drew his wand, and slashed hard.

A large number of iron cables suddenly stretched out in mid-air, instantly tying up the mast on the sailboat and some handrails on the ship, and pulling it back with force.

At the same time, an invisible giant hand seemed to appear on the surface of the black lake, supporting the hull from the other side and breaking the boat back little by little.

Ilvermorny's Principal Fontana also drew his wand, unleashing the power of the wind in an attempt to stop the gourd that had crashed into his hut.

Naturally, Principal Oliveira of Castrobusche couldn't sit idly by, after all, his own camp was also nearby.

The branches of the trees on the shore suddenly grew and spread rapidly, forming a wall of trees that protected the shore of the Black Lake.

At the same time, countless thick branches were bound towards the gourd, trying to stop it.

Ms. Maxim also symbolically drew her pin-like wand, turning the lake into a wall and holding back the gourd.

At the same time, it can be seen that there is also a magical power at work on the boat and the gourd, trying to stabilize both.

In the end, the sailboat did not tip over with the help of Professor Dumbledore's magic, and the gourd was intercepted by the other three headmasters.

A middle-aged man in a bright silver fur cloak suddenly walked out of the sailing cabin in a rage:

"Who is it! Who's sneaking up on us, sneaking up on Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! ”

"You're making enemies of the whole of Durmstrang and most of the Nordic wizarding world!"

A group of young wizards in black fur cloaks poured out of the cabin at the back, wand in hand, looking around with hatred.

"Professor Karkaroff, it was the gourd that struck you."

Professor Dumbledore pointed to the yellow gourd that was docked on the shore like a house,

"It seems to be ...... It's the people of the magic office. ”

The stopper of the gourd opened, and a group of shamans dressed in robes that incorporated the style of Japanese kimono jumped out.

The wizard at the head also looked angry and inexplicable: "Who attacked us with thunder and lightning?" Who is it! ”

"If it weren't for those inexplicable thunderbolts, our imitation of the gourd of the wine swallowing boy would not have been a problem at all!"

Headmaster Fontana's face suddenly turned a little unpleasant, after all, the area around Hogwarts was a rare sunny day tonight.

If there is thunder and lightning...... Seem...... Seems to be Ilvermorny's Thunderbird?

Probably they saw a giant gourd floating in the water and were curious, so they threw a few thunderbolts with their claws?

The murderer is actually myself?

…………

After Professor Dumbledore's detailed explanation and reconciliation, Headmaster Fontana finally apologized to Karkaroff and the headmaster of the Institute of Magic, Michiman Homo, and promised to cover the cost of repairs for both parties, so that the matter could be turned over.

The young wizards are so glad they can finally return to the warm Great Hall of Hogwarts for dinner!

After such a big series of events had happened before, an hour had already passed since the meal was served.

It's no exaggeration to say that the little wizards are starving!

Even if he found Krum on the way back to the castle, it didn't increase everyone's interest much.

Only a few rabid fans gathered around him, trying to get Krum to sign his name with lipstick.

After all, who doesn't have enough to eat, and who has the strength to watch the international Quidditch superstars?

Stars can chase at any time, and if you miss this meal, you will really die!
