It has an eerie appearance, with a black hull and sails.

There is a large metal sculpture on the side of the ship.

It was a woman, or rather a witch, and Owen had reason to believe it was Harfang Mount, the founder of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

A great Bulgarian witch.

Its portholes shimmered with a dim, foggy shimmer that looked like ghostly eyes.

And there are 32 such glimmers.

With a sparse splash of water, the big boat came out completely, tossed on the undulating water, and began to head towards the shore of the lake.

Moments later, they heard a thud, an iron anchor thrown into the shallow water, and the metal witch statue on the bow of the ship suddenly turned slowly and 'sank' into the hull.

The hull of the ship is restrained by planks and planks into the boat, and then entangled with each other to build a long wooden staircase that stretches to the shore.

In the distance, Owen seemed to see a wizard standing on the ship's mast, his hands clasped behind his back.

A black trench coat looked at them.

From the highlands of Scotland a strong wind blew his trench coat up.

It was all about to spread out, yearning for a free temperament, which made everyone who saw him sink deeply.

"Who's that?" Everyone asked the question.

From afar, Harry felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, and he should have seen it there.

Not only him, but Ron and Hermione beside him felt similarly.

Even the feeling extended to Hufflepuff, and Hannah and Justin felt familiar.

And in front of the court, beside Dumbledore, Owen looked at the mast with fiery eyes.

He smiled with envy, when can we cultivate this temperament?

"This ship should have a name!"

He whispered to Dumbledore, "A simple but loud name." ”

"A name that can make the four seas surrender!"

"Oh? So what should it be called? Dumbledore asked, smiling.

"Black Pearl!" Owen said firmly, "Gentlemen. ”

"Ladies! You'll remember this day forever, because you nearly caught Captain Jack Sparrow! ”

"Wow !!"

He let out a long howl.

If he had rum in his hand, he would have had a drink from the great Captain Jack!

"Wow!

We set sail, we set sail, we overcome obstacles, we ride the wind and waves.

My heart has no worries, and the compass in my hand always points to freedom. ”

Owen continued to talk nonsense that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

By this time, Durmstrang students had slowly descended the wooden staircase.

From a distance, both men and women, Durmstrang's students were about the same size as Crabbe and Goyle.

As they drew closer, along the lawn and into the foyer's light, they realized that they were all wearing a kind of fur cloak, the fur on which was tangled.

The leader of the group, when he stepped into the light shining from the main entrance of the castle, the young wizard saw him as tall and thin as Dumbledore, with short white hair, a bow tie, and a leisurely stride.

The man walked up to Dumbledore, a pair of heterochromatic eyes looking at him.

"You're here!"

I don't know who of the two said this sentence first.

"I was advised to take a break." Grindelwald stared at Dumbledore.

The old headmaster understood, looked sideways at Owen, who was staring at him with a hot face, and smiled on his face, "That kid cares about you very much." I cared more than I thought. ”

"I was surprised, too." Grindelwald said.

"I'll respond to him and tell everybody that it's worth it." His tone was flat, but there was an indescribable domineering.

"Do you know about the heir?" The old headmaster whispered.

Most of the young wizards around him were attracted to Krum.

As the boy walked by, everyone noticed the striking hooked nose and two thick, dark eyebrows.

He still looked as gloomy as before, a little sickly, and he was really not in good shape.

When he looked up at the leather-clad figure in the distance, the complexity in his eyes almost overflowed.

Owen knows why.

There is a blood feud between Krum and Grindelwald.

His grandfather died at the hands of his grandfather decades ago.

"I know." Grindelwald nodded slightly, and his gaze also fell on Owen, "But he is too immature, and the wind and rain of the outside world should not fall on his shoulders until he has fully grown up." ”

"At least I'm alive!" He said.

His eyes suddenly became sharp.

"But—" Dumbledore's brow furrowed, "about the child's body. ”

"I know, I'll figure it out." Grindelwald interrupted. "I'm not going to let that happen!"

The topic of the two bigwigs continues.

In the garden, the whispers of the little wizards grew louder and louder.

"It's Krum, Victor Krum, he's at Hogwarts!" Ron continued to sigh.

"For God's sake, Ron, he's just a Quidditch player." Hermione said unhappily.

"Just a Quidditch player?!" Ron stared at her stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Hermione, he's one of the best Seekers in the world, you probably forgot who caught the Golden Snitch in the game." ”

"Have you forgotten who won in the end?" Hermione replied.

Miss Granger remained calm.

It's a pity that there are only a few people like her who remain calm.

It was a genius star, and at the moment there were a lot of people pushing forward, and Lee Jordan was tiptoeing up and down, trying to see Krum's back more clearly.

A couple of sixth-graders were rummaging in their pockets like crazy as they walked.

"Alas, I can't believe I don't have a quill!"

"You say, will he sign my hat with lipstick?"

"It's ridiculous!" Hermione said with a frown.

Especially what has happened recently.

While she was agonizing over the trials of the ancient wizards, the other young wizards were busy chasing the stars.

This huge sense of separation made her feel uncomfortable.

"If possible, I'd like to get a signed photo of him." Ron said, "Do any of you have a quill?" ”

"No, it's all in my bag upstairs." Harry said.

"That's a shame!" Ron's eyes were fiery as he stared at the man with his back on his back, there was still time, they were probably going to stay at Hogwarts for a few months, and they would always have a chance.

Ron was still looking forward to it, and the two legendary wizards in front of the court, their topic was becoming more and more dangerous. More and more profound.

"Over there in Brussels." Dumbledore's voice suddenly changed and he said something else.

Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, is located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.

Coincidentally, the headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards is also located in Brussels.

"The pieces left by Swan Rozier have been cleared. The list of people I got from you, plus Queenie's help, cleaned up faster than I expected. ”

Grindelwald said indifferently.

On the side, Dumbledore subconsciously cast a scrutinizing gaze.

"Alright! Just cleaned out the federation, I didn't kill them. Grindelwald smiled contemptuously, then explained, "By doing so, maybe it will cause us unknown trouble." ”

"Europe needs them." Dumbledore affirmed. "The dead are all over Europe, and for months, ministries of magic have been busy hunting down the creatures. The resulting loss of personnel was significant. ”

"We can't afford any war anymore."

"It's none of my business, Albus." Grindelwald interrupted, "As long as they don't provoke me." ”

The old headmaster was silent.

On the side, Owen was eating melons violently.

He fumbled around his body, and then from the deepest part of his pocket, he pulled out a gift box, which, when opened, contained a delicate quill inside.

On top of that, there was a small postcard in the gift box,—— and everything was messed up - Granger.

This is an English proverb.

With a 'pop', Owen closed the box again, hum - out of sight and out of mind.

Then he took the quill in his hand and re-looked the great, handsome and extraordinarily handsome Mr. Gellert, "Oh! Gracious Captain, sign your fans! ”

"Just write: Captain Jack Sparrow wishes you forever on the great free lanes."

He stared at a pair of watery gray eyes, and handed both the quill and the parchment to the handsome Mr. Grindelwald.

Captain Jack bowed his head and took the bill from Owen's hand.

"How to fill the empty power vacuum?" The old headmaster continued to ask.

"Humph! Dumbledore - You don't want to make an inch. "Grindelwald has a fierce eye.

The so-called power vacuum was naturally filled by the saints.

It's not the same as it was sixty years ago.

This time he no longer sought to stand in front of the stage. Instead, choose a step-by-step overhead federation.

After Swan Rozier's death, the pure-blood forces she left behind have been dealt a serious blow.

And the saints also infiltrated it with the change of personnel.

It was impossible for Dumbledore not to know these things, he was the president, how could he not know such a huge number of personnel changes in the Federation?

He'd ask that just to get him to spit out some seats to give to those stupid, corpse-eating guys.

'Wow', Captain Jack, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced on the parchment, and wrote a passage on the parchment: "Freedom is too much, everything is in chaos—Gellert Grindelwald.

He then handed the parchment back to Owen.

And Owen?

He opened the parchment with an excited face, and in less than a second, his face was pulled down.

Lose - grandpa! You're so naughty, does your husband know?

He pouted, his face covered with black lines, and looked up at Grindelwald, almost with his displeasure engraved on his face.

Hum! From today on, old Deng Tou will become a grandfather, you-just be your grandma honestly!

“.”

Hear Grindelwald's oath.

It is very rare for the old principal not to have a friend who has been in love with him for decades.

Human energy is limited, and for the rest of his life, the most important enemy is Lord Voldemort.

As for the rest—those conspiracies—those darkness—those changes.

He was powerless to stop it.

Leave these to posterity!

He sighed softly.

Then he looked to the side, looking at Owen, who was pouting and full of displeasure.

Suddenly, the old headmaster felt that the burden on his body was heavier.

——————

I waited another five or six minutes.

Skyrim in the distance.

Suddenly, a little light pierced through the clouds.

"Look!"

Someone among the little wizards reacted.

They realized that this was the last school, the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The light in the sky no longer flickered.

Instead, it became a long-lasting light like a searchlight.

With a roar, the clouds were torn apart.

"Oh! Merlin's beard! ”

The little wizards let out an exclamation, for no other reason than the one in the sky—the steel spaceship was too grand.

"It's like half a wrench"

I don't know which young wizard in the crowd shouted.

Pointed out the majestic appearance of this spaceship.

To be precise, the hull resembles a saucer cut through the middle. The hull metal is unusually heavy.

The bow of the ship has a cylindrical structure, and it is not known what it is used for.

At this time, the sky was thin and cloudy, and the misty light seemed to spread all over the body of this big steel ship.

In this magical world, the sudden appearance of a spaceship with such a sense of science and technology is really bluffing.

Owen almost thought the Trisolaran was calling.

Just as he was about to give a direct confrontation with the Lord.

In the center of the disc-like hull, a cone-shaped terrace slowly rises, shaped like a torch.

The flame burned hotly.

The remaining firelight left the emblem of the Ilvermorny School of Magic in midair.

It's spectacular and speechless.

And then - the ship descended slowly in the air, and with a roar, it came to a halt in the canyon of Castle Hill.

It was the sound of metal crashing against stone.

Then the flare-like terrace slowly continued to rise. It stretches like an elevator to the flat ground of the mountains.

The lighthouse is highlighted, illuminating Hogwarts Castle on the east side.

"What are they doing!" Harry covered his eyes.

He couldn't open his eyes in the bright light.

"I don't know, but I can feel they're showing off!" Hermione waved her wand, and the brightness around her dropped a few moments.

"But I have to say, that ship is so cool, it's-" Harry stopped, and when the words came to his lips, he forgot what it was called, "It's the one- Star Wars ship, what's it called?" Hermione? ”

"Millennium Falcon!" Hermione gave an immediate answer.

"That's right, Millennium Falcon!" Harry excitedly said, "Dudley has a model of a dozen feet, which is a present for his tenth birthday. They went out to eat that day, and I finished watching the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope tape at home. (PS: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Released in: 1977.) ）

He had dreamed of a model of the Millennium Falcon, but Harry knew that Aunt Petunia would not be able to buy it for him.

Not even a poster.

"Star Wars? What is that? Ron asked stupidly.

"A movie!" Harry turned to him and explained.

But Ron was still puzzled, and Harry had to take some time to show him what Muggles were like to make the picture appear on the screen.

After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, but Ron couldn't focus his eyes, and explained to him that he was completely playing the piano to the cow.

Harry then could only vaguely say that it was a kind of magic called technology that the Muggles had mastered.

"Heh-" just when the two of them were talking in full swing.

A disgruntled nasal voice came from the side.

"Didn't you both notice the name of that ship?" She said.

"Name?" Harry was stunned, and then remembered that there had just been a huge dark blue flowing English letter on the huge hull.

"What's the Mayflower called? What do you mean? Hermione said angrily, "What do they want to do with that lighthouse so bright, and most of Hogwarts is lit up?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Harry asked, dumbfounded.

"Stupid! Don't you read history at all? ”

Hermione stared at the two forgetful fellows, and said in a flaming tone, "In 1620, a galleon named the Mayflower sailed from England to America. This was the beginning of American history, and the founder of Ilvermorny was mixed up in that ship.

Now they are back in a ship with the same name, and they are making such a big deal that the Millennium Falcon looks like it was built temporarily for this competition, and the movie was only released in 1977.

And that lighthouse - they're lighthouses, so what are we? Indigenous? ”

All around—the exclamations of the little wizards came and went.

Especially after the metal lighthouse opened its doors and the wizards of Ilvermorny came out one after another, there were even more exclamations around her.

This made Hermione's face darker and darker.

She felt like a native of North America standing on the coast and feeling the sailing ship from Europe, completely unaware that the sailing ship was the devil at all.

"It's-"

Hermione's explanation was very easy to understand.

Harry and Ron's faces changed several times, and they didn't grow naturally. They finally understood that this grand opening was an insult to them, to Hogwarts.

And the little wizards around him are still sighing stupidly!

"Hey! I don't think that's right! At this point, George and Fred came closer.

They smiled happily, with a dangerous gleam in the corners of their eyes, "What if someone comes to recognize Dad?" George said.

"Didn't Owen say that their school was a copycat of Hogwarts?"

"That's right, George." Fred also said in a dangerous tone: "Six months from now, when they leave Hogwarts, they will know who the best school of witchcraft and wizardry is in the world!" ”

The noise of the young wizards did not reach Dumbledore's ears.

Maybe he heard it, but he didn't care.

On the side, Grindelwald had already walked into the castle with Durmstrong's little wizard.

He was hosted by our dear Professor Snape.

"Dumbledore!" Ilvermorny was led by a brooch dressed in a red coat with a brown bow tie and a gold Goldian knot on his chest.

She didn't look much younger than Dumbledore.

The hair is slightly curled and mostly white.

There was a slight apology in his black eyes.

"Welcome Lali." Dumbledore shook hands with her, "Your appearance is quite impressive. ”
